BISHOP MORAN'S ADVICE.
Bishop Moran m a consecration seriuon lately, advised his hearers to be sober and live m. peace with one another. Let no man bring disgrace on his, family by giving way to Hie influence of drink. They belonged to a race that could boast .of great virtues, but tliere was one vice that was too much indulged in — viz., drunkenness. Not that their countryman. drank more than the people of other nations; but ;they were of too " quicksiivery" a 'temperament — too quick, too hot— ! their spirits were too elastic, and not fit for drink. Like brave men, let ;them say to themselves v"'! will, not itake drink to excess." They should ktiaw when they had enough, and be, done with it— their over indulgence m strong drink showing a great want of moral courage " arid plucky determination. Men who Would go fearlessly to ithe cannon^ mouth should be above jii-uulging'.A diiqle to excess. 1
