' We have a week's work to lay before you fhi evening, rraught,- we think with aoces, and were' we net evidencing every day that the Lord ia prospering Ilia work lu ur haada muKt elonously. and were our hearts not already full to overflowing with praise and thanksgiving to Ilitn who is ever worthy, lor the prospering wf this caase. the presence ef this larre and intelligeat au.dk; nee wowld certaialy stimulate to poraevere ia our labor of love in rescuing nr land from the bondage of this sin of intemperance. Meetings have been held each day at 9 a. m.; and It p. a., and oar hearts have been cheered by tfee attendance of our brethren, especially Tuesday and Thursday -days set apart foe them. . We have felt that the .Lord has met with us in these meetings, and that the Hoty Ghost has been the directing power. Watchers have oe. enpied positions at nearly all of the saloons eince the last nwM meeting, and they have felt that they been bless el ia this quiet way of working, and that untold good has been dona. Their hearts have. often h?en cheered by words of encouragement from pedestrians passing to and fro. Strangers have often ntcpped to wish them a "Gol speed," ask a boat the werk.aad tell of its progress in other parts. After the noble women ot Chicago were so defeated in organising for the great work in which the women all over onr country are so faith fally working, they still felt that there was power in prayer, and adopted the plua of visiting the saloons singly, and a gentleman from that plaee gave as an instance of the way as follows: As ate was , passing along tbc street, ho saw one who bore every evidence of beiog a lady, eater a saloon, and feeling a curiosity to Vnrrw why the entered, followed her. t!he walked to the centre of the room there knelt, and without bavins: uttered a ward before. offered up a very -eloj4ten4 d feeling prayer, then arose and departed as ahe had entered quietly. , The proprietors of the establishment asked one who was Hrtjmd'mff by. ""Do yon know that vnaiaar acxl was answerod, i do not, but is she not the person who ' asked you the otMer day it you wouia object werehetocome in your saloon, and you answered that you would uevcr molest a lady if frhe deported Wraelf ns smch.' "Yes, 'tis tire same," said he, "fol low her, and and out wis sne is; l want-, to k nov that woman." . . Hhe was followed a low blocks, and was then lost sight oi We believe that the object of this work is threefold, that it is to bring all honor to the most High; that it is to banish intewineraune. that evil which, statis tics show te be the greatest curse of our land, fnoaa our midet; and that it is to show that wowaa aad neroism, woman and earnestness, and woman and perseverance are synonomous terms; though tho sceptre she w Lelds ia not daring deeds, bat praying lips and acts of kindness, resting in these words: "L, the Lord, do all these things," and though not iUy seen by us, the town and change of things, yet beu) sure that every such town ana change has its place as sure as the pest ot eacn star in tne sxy,.as true xo its commission ' as that -wind which1 comes from no one knows whore, to . fo te no one knows whither. On last 'hursday a meeting was held at Es-; senmacher'a, when the ladies were admitted. He was kindly admonished, and fervent prayers were offered that! he might see the erroT of his way. Meetings were also held at two other aaloons near the depot, on the street however, as the doors were closed, i Friday, street meetings were held at, the lioeued saloon, and at several places in the south part of town. In the evening the licensed saloon was decided upon as the best place to have a surprise party, so a small number, five or six perhaps, appeased rather unexpectedly rpon the scene, when very fervent prayer was addressed to the throne of Grace, and words of warning given those present. Saturday morning the League met as usual at the church, with a very large number in attendance. After spending an hoar ia prayer aad thanksgiving, they went en mass to McCoy's Continental Meat Store, and laid in a supply of the good things Charley had on hand, which was everything in the way of substantial s and delicacies that tho most fastidious taste could crave. As we looked about, and saw and realised the wonderful change which had taken place, spontaneously every lip uttcrea, and every heart felt "Praise God from whom all blessings How." After part had been supplied with a bountiful 6tore,they repaired to the sidewalk so that those not already served might have their . tarn, and were then led to- offer up piaise and thanksgiving from hearts almost too full for utterance, to an All Wise Ruler, that he had, in answer to prayer, caused such a revolution in so short a time.". In this connection, we think it proper to mention the fact that there are many noble hearted women, who, unable to work ia the field, are never- . theless helping on the cause, by preparing each day bountiful supplies of that which strengtheneth the inner man, for those who are actively engaged, and the League would take thia occasion to thank them, and te say to any other persons men or women who may aid us. even by giving a cup of cold water to the thirsty watcher you have our heart's best wishes, and that you are thus helping us, and hoVding up our hands in the work. God will reward you and us, and unite our hands and hearts in the good - cause, until the combined powers of evil shall avail nothing. . Saturday evening a number of places were visited, but admittance gained to but one, and that through the back door, una unexpectedly.1 The proprietors became very much incensed seemed to think we- were trespassing upon his rights, and forbid the offering of prayer. , We have . wondered some times that' men are so afraid of prayer, but have taken it as an omen of good that their hearts were not entirely hardened, but were still susceptible to good -and that, the owners thereof wen only airaiu tney mutat ne toacned. - The- next place we went, more , consideration was ho vn, as we were . told to nrav till we were blind, just so we did not obstruct the doorway. - If at times we have for a little while been despondent, and a cloud seemed to lun ntr-aa- we -have- remembered the BMasage to every one under a cloud "Cast ail thy. care upon Him who

God is our towtr of A pure Sabbath mornifag dawned, j weanuA Btaitulj tifiiJecmigcr-regt and sanctify on its, pearly forehead. A temperance meeting was announced to be held at . the depot, a speaker frem abroad being expeed, but as the exiceted one failed to put in an appearance, a lare hearing was given to some ot the very eameit workers in the temperance eauae.of our own ciXjr, tutd ,we heliev that fke words 6ikeu,.aud xrayers offered were noue the less" impressive couiifig from familiar vetoes. We hare heard a circBitaace related, showing how God has set Ili.Feal.ujon persua.s tor this work who have never before felt themselves called upon to work in His viaejard. In a village where the work was in progress, a a meeting was being belJ on the street, the paTticmlar , attention "' of the narrator wasalled'u the" prayer a delicate loeki4 woman b pra7ed in a feeble voice, but he felt suro through the influence of the Holy Spirit. At the eowclasion of rtie prayer, he asked the oe standing neiX to hku 'hi that lady?" and was answered, '"That is my wife, sir, and I haye Jived with her for twenty years, and this is the first time ever heard her pray." JlouJay was a goueral hudiness day: many prayers goiug aj from thankful hearts. Our friends, the saloon men, were ac t'ergotten however, for several vi&itd were faid, aad luuuh pleasure derived therefrotn, to say nothing of valuable information gained. Yesterdav the weather was very inclem ent, but the crusaders were not in the j least deterred, eaoo one, occupying some post of duty. Quite a number who have been anxions to visit several places, thought the opportunity being good, they would go, but they were surprised beyond expression to find so many places closed, and doors, hack and front, locked. ' We have! .subways thvuuht it an evidence that trade was falling off when the jrpTetor can lock up, and leave his place of business for an indefinite length of time. One place theyiwere at howc however, and the ladies gained au entrance through the back door. Rather an iiEcerem onions way but 'tis found impassible to strictly observe etkjuette, and it U a. uotk-oable fact when the ladies go in the back door of this place, the front door is immediately locked; " have never learned exactly whether it : ia to keep persons out, or the ladies in, but rather think 'tis for the benefit of the outsiders, as .the ladies are never urged to remain when they make a move to go. In (the evening a large number of ladies, as well as the class of persons who frerent snch places, were in the licensed saloon until the hour of closing, and so rude were the actions of a part of the men, that the proprietor himself became, disgusted, and said that from that time his saloon would be closed. Several different committees have been out to-day to confer with these persons who have closed doors, the result of which is, four closed, and signed the rdodges, und fourteen who say they closed during the continuance of the war. But. we woujd eay to iersons who are not engaged in the work, and U' whom it 'may seem that but little is being accomplished, we are advancing step by ..step, and that the cause is going on. : God, as ever before, is workinff in a mysteri ous way His wenders to perform, and we believe that the time will come, when our Nation shall no longer exist upon the groans and cries of women and children, but that we shall, both men ani women unitedly, taking as our platform God and the Bible, rally around the temperance banner which shall be "unfolded all over our land, and shall have inscribed thereon, "Touch not, taste not. handle not.". The lrpeelH r Axriraltare la (be Nmta. . The New Orleans Picayune has accounts from all parts of the Gulf States showing that the farmers are planting extensively of corn, whoat, oats, and rfce: " Labor is abundant, and is secured at rates much lower than have heretofore ruicd. The change of, the policy of planters from hiring on shares to monthly wages has had the effoet of clearing the plantations of idlers, and of bringing into the field a largo, number of laborers. The weather has been most favorable for an early start of the cane, and the indications for a rood crop are gratifying, lu many of the parishes the extent of land to be sown in rice will be one-fourth more than was cultivated last season. From the Attakapas (Southern Louisiana) corn will be the crop upon wbk-h the planters will re: ly. In many quarters it is already up and seems to be nourishing. From Texas flattering reports are received. The farmers .are in fine spirits, and hope that the end may be as good as the beginning.; In . Alabama large tracts of the magnificent prairie and canebrake, which stretch i'roui Peuiopolis to Columbus, have been prepared foT corn and cereals. Many plantations have been converted into stock farms in consequence ef the exodus of negroes. After three successive failures of the cotton crop in that section, the planter has been forced to diversify his crops, and, from his inability to borrow money, finds himself at laston the right road to independence. As an indieatiou of what Georgia is "doing, the newspapers are filled witaoengratulations that a -complete revolution has been effected in agricalture. In the country around Columbus, about 1W.0OO bushels of oats have been sowed, which is almost twice the amount of last year. The acreage in whent is much greater than last year, wnd farmers are preparing to plant thirty fer cent, at least more corn and ase fifty per cent, less of commercial manures. Altogether, the outlook for 1574 in the Gulf States is most promising. "Necessity is a stern teacher," says the Picayune, but ia her instruction of the past few years she has taught us -a ieseon which we will be slow ta forget."

IMaHrwWrYE' TTai TV TuTTm and within reason but, on the other hand, these conditions are seldom complied with. J udas betrayed the beloved ion of God lor thirty pieces of silver, for gain; true he was afterward filled with remorse and threw away his hire, the f anie evidence suggests a thousand excuses. You think there is money to 1 made in the traffic, without once thinking of the consequences.. Would you deliberately lead j our own child to destruction? Would you take a beloved brother by-he hand and take llim to the brink of a certain and fearful death, and there leave him to perish? How then are you to make your excuses to God for leading another into evil for the sake of jour purse? You say yon -do not urge them to drink to excess: but you ought to know that it will finally lead to that. Remembering how fearful is the desolation, and knowing how strong is the temptation, and that it will shortly lead to excess, you feel prompted to raution ' him; avarice steps in; you think the more that is sold tho more rain there is. You don't care if it is the gam ot Judas. I nere is aauger, great danger. Therefore I advise you to seek other employment. The Bible says that we must visit the widows and orphans, and do all in our power to lessen the evil brought into the world in eonseqnenee of sin. - What are these men doing to relievo all this weight of sorrow? .. Suppose you saw your neighbor's children in danger, would you let them go to destruction with the excuse that you were not their keeper? This is what you say about the traffic; you are not responsible for the evil. . But I tell you you. are. In the account of Cain aud Abel God took the opportunity to tell as that in a certain sense we are all brothers, and are responsible to Him for the loss of the least of us, if the rost have not done their duty. We hold a mutual relation to eat-h other, and it is our duty to care for all: aud if we offer no one driuk we will lead no one into temptation. And oven suppose that you will not sell or give to exeef s, yet vou are susected of having done it. You are classed with those who go to the greatest rxtremes, and commit the greatest excess. Are you willing to rest under the suspicion? Are you willing to be classed anion those who have committed crime which God has forbidden, although you may not be one of them? And then another point; the gain which one receives from this source seldom remains. A man who spends his life in dealing in liquor often fiuds creeping into hi own house the evils which he sends into others. It is almost impossible in this traffic not to partake yourself. Catholics, turn away from this traffic, aud leave it to those who can look on all its evils and horrors without one pang of compunction or feeling of remorse. Leave it to those who care not for the welfare of their neighbors, and care not for the love of God. Remember the sacred thirst and agony of Jesus, and let tlie remembrance teach you that you are called upon t make sacrifices and practice self-denial. Tho Bishop then spoke of a Catholic organization which had been started some time since in aid of the temperance cause, and read the order of 'exercises, which requires all Catholics to pray on certain days for the suppression of the evil. He closed with an exhortation to all present, and especially young jnen, to come forward after the benediction and sign the pledge. . JtXDIAXA ITEMS.

Two roads, parting at his feet were said to meet at ths gate in the castle wall. One road swept to the. left by a broad and easy decent across- the plain and eeemed to pass about the base of the mountain to gentle ascent beyond, to the-castle. The plain was crossed by a dangerous morass, which engulfed the unsuspecting traveler. i Horse and rider went down, too gether. : . . .. ,. The other way, turning sqnare up to the right, clambered up the mountain to a highland road, w here the air was pure and the journey short." ' ' Eleven sons started each way. Of those who took the road over the plain, only one reached tlie cas tie, and he was horseless and covered with mire so that he could not be recognized. : -1 . - . Of those who took the mountain road, hen gained the castle gate with waving plumes. : ... ... We stand where the two. ways part. Let us examine them. ' The one to the left leads over the dead morass called "the nse of wines and light drinks," the other, to the rierht, up the rugged ascent of "Touch not, taste not? handle not" But let us look at the left hand road for a moment. First, there is the do nothing policy. - Its aggres sive campaign is a masterly inactivity, in which the enemy gainst all fields and fortifies them, captures all the prisoners and starves them" The inactivity element; the do nothing' policy, has a large popular vete, because it counts all who are not actively hostile and willing to share tho blows of the combat, and the unpopularity f the minority - At a time-like this, it is a very difficult task for a nmn to ride two boraes, for the obvious rtason that the two horses are going in tho opposite di rectlon. , . The man who refuses to sign ' a pledge may have What he considers, very good and valid reasons' for not doing so. He may say it will injure my business ; it is an infringe ment on my "liberty," or you must take my Mrord for it. No matterHe may avow his temperance principles yet his refusal to sign, the pledge numbers him with the foe, and they w ill surely count him. The minister of the Gospel who advises his people to sign away their Christian liberteis, though he may tell them in the same breath to sign no petitions either, who in a word tells them td do ne thing, but to act as though they were doing ! something, that minister, however pure may be his motives or eicm plary his life, will be quoted by all the topers and w hisky men in the community as unquestionable au thority on their side of the question. Again, as good temperance men, can we dare to insinuate that even the temperate use of wine is the remedy for 1 drunkenness? "This theory shows hostility to the bears by fattening the cubs. It acts the part of the farmer, in the old fable warming the viper in his bosom. .,,. Let us see theuse of wines upon drunkenness in the wine growing countries. Paris is the city of wine where the light wines abound where more wine' is drank than in any other city in the world.' In spite of all this pretension, she consumes annually more' than seven j gallons of distilled spirits to every i man, woman, and child. That is without a rival in the world. She consumes more brandy per head than any other people on the ' earth. Wine does not wean men ' from strong drink, travelers bear testimony to the general drunken ness of wine-drinking Germany. California is our wine growing State and her "Wines for temper- , ance," have made her the most de bancbed State in the Union. The pure, dean young Man from his fathers roof and family alter. does. not fall down a bleared and ' bloted, raging, guzzling old "h ulk' in one day. Men tipple before they pour. They are tasters befor they are tubs. - The egg precedes the vulture. Dev ils are born babies and grow the rest, ' There is a way that seemeth ' right, but the end thereof is death.
