Of forty-fve auxiharies, only twenty were represented and the delegates present evnced an interest in promoting the phlanthropc cause of temperance. which might wen be initiated by all. Considering, however, the importance of the meet ing and the central place in which it held it indeed morfying not to say dscouragng, that 90 few were present to listen to the anmating exercises. When the professed friends of the cause. in the very place where the Society convenes, manifest cold, whitening indifference to its prosperity, when in pop ulous village, but here and there one can be found who feels willing to do any thing for its advancement. surely there is reason to fear that all is not right What though the novelty of this enterprise is gone what though the romance is no more, yet IS not this cause as truly important as ever Are not the souls of drunkards precious now as they ever were, and are we not as strongly bound as ever, to come to their rescue Are our obligations lessened by the lapse of tme7 Nay, they not increased and con- stanty increasingi The condition of the Tempe rance cause was never more painfully interesting than at the present moment. The wave of ruin rolls fearuy onward carrying with it what is dear in pos session. and lovely in prospect. The monster ln- temperance, for time checked, is now assuming a bold front, ana the enlDt6u either slmberng upon their postss or have deserted the cause altogether In such time of gioominess' it becomes every true friend to his country and hs kind to act with redoubled zeal and efficiency; and not to permit the cheering prospects of reform 90 aus u;cioasly commenced. to be shrouded in darkness It
