TEMPERANCE.

(By Reformer.) TEMPERANCE WORK 3N I THE ROYAL NAVY. ■:.-.■■■•f ITS RISE /: We will briefly, for the help and guidance of any who inlay ‘ J-M be thinking of starting , a Temperance Home Smlqm, suppose • ourselves in such : a 1 position. What; would -be the best course for us to pursue ? ' | We should naturally answer 1 that the first be done 1 would be to get - either J by shares or voluntary contri- 1 butions, a sufficient. * sum of 1 money to furnish, and fit up a I tolerably large-sized house. I £Boo—at the outside £looo I would be ample for this. £SOO I ought t« be sufficient for a I small Home, unless a very large I number of beds are required. The next step would be to | obtain a j first-rate situation in a the main i all the men must pass and repass 1 in coming from and going back to their ships. This being, J settled upon, and a lease ob- I tained, it would be wise at' ,| once to look about for a good s r*| manager—^-a sailor, if, possible, K blessed with plenty of- common (I sense, a total abstainer and J religious man. He' should’ be I a good-tempered,,man,- have. 1 good practical business head' his shoulders, be cleanly in habits and pleasant in his ■ manners. If he has a!' Wife, unless she would be a desirable ■ and useful assistant to himv it ; ■ is better she should not live pn : the premises, but somewhere ■ near, especially if he has child* r |« ren. W-VxM The next undertaking would be to fit up the Horae as brightly if |fl and cheerfully as possible. ■ There should be A Refreshmeut B.ir on the ground-floor, so tha*, the men B could with a push of the arm enter it from the street. 'ffM A Smoking Room or Bar ; ■ Parlour at the back, where they ; ■ could sit and read and chat :f|B whilst partaking of refreshment. • No smoking should be allowed •••.*■ in the Bar, !■ A Reading and Recitation '4?>fH Room, with all kinds of secular and religious periodicals, such as Leisure Hour, Sunday MM Horae, Illustrated Loudon News, Hj Penny Illustrated Paper British '-'iM Workman, Band of Hop© W Review, Cottager and Artisan, Friendly Visitor, Boys’ Own Paper, and any of the daily papers; Punch, Fun, etc., etc* dfjj A General Room, ■ where, theffjJ|B men could receivp their friends. A Manager’s Room. ■ Servants’ Rooms. - - ■ 11 Colour in eyes.—Gray is said to be colour of talent and-shrewdness. Great thinkers have gray eyes. In women they indicate a better head tliau heart; Gray eyes, however, are of many vanities, - There are the sharp, the shrew dish, ti>e spiteful, the cold, the penetrating, the meditating, and the intellectual; but the fact remains that the gray represents the Hi head. Round-eyed persons live much in. n the senses, but thiuk less than nariow- 'jH itj ed people.
