TEMPERANCE.

(By Reformer.) TEMPERANCE WORK IN THE ROYAL NAYY. . ITS RISE ' Six or * twelve double-bedded Rooms'(with two single beds in each), for general sleeping accommodation. Plenty* of pictures and lookingglasses should not be forgotten. Gas at night should not be stinted, especially after the public-houses shut up, and everything should be made to look as bright and Rice as possible. . The bar furniture should inr elude copper tea and coffee urns, y hot closets for dinners, pretty : glass dishes, etc., for the counter !% and windows, which should al- ' ways be kept shining and brilV' liant, and comfortable settles or seats, etc. The kitcheh should possess a good range, with steam appliances; and the dormitori; s good beds and bedding (strong spring mattresses with a small • hair mattress on the top are the most durable). The smoking room should only require a few long wooden benches. The day being fixed, and the opaning announced by bills, , placards, and advertisments in the local papers, the great event ■ should be celebrated by as large a gathering of those interested in the undertaking as pcssiblo. We thus see the ship equippe d ; and launched: it remains wit ii l those to who the work is enk - trusted to make it thoroughly - -popular and self-supporting. TWO EULOGIES^ON YVEISKY. (Selected by a. w. Bradford) Judge Joel W. Tyler, of Clevo - land, Ohio, was an able man. . 'Xu his boyhood he was a schooi- « mate of Robert G. Ingersoll, the; notorious nineteenth century agnostic. Several y..-ars ag > ' Col. Ingersoll sent Judge Tyler, >' not to be outdone, sent Col. Ingersoll a bottle of whisky, V accompanied also , by a letter. Tne two letters might be said to 0 represent the Ideal and the Real’ The following is Col. Ingersoll’s letter, which repre- || sents the “ Ideal ” : fl'-. “My Dear Friend, —I send jSl.you some of the most wonder ful whisky that ever drove the Skelton from a feast or painted landscapes pn the brain of man. It is the mingled souls of wheat and corn. In it you will find the sunshine and shadow that chased each other over the billowy fields, the breath of June • the carol of the lark, the dews of night, the wealth of summer, and autum’s rich content, all golden with imprisoned light Drink it, and you will hear the voices of men and maidens singling, the “Harvest Home” U. mingled with the laughter of ; r children. Drink it, and you v will feel within yoftr blood the starlit dawns, the dreapjy, tawny dusks of many perfect days. forty years this liquid joy been within the happy staves *: of oak, longing to touch the lips • of men. u It, G, Ingersoll.” Judge Tyler’s reply is follows, j and represents the “ Real ” if: “ My Dear Old Pal, —-I send ; you. some of the most wonderful • whisky that ever drove harmony a feast, or painted shades HlFrats and reptiles in the brain m. mem It is the latent demon Hfet loose from wheat and corn, Fin it you will find the moonshine ’ [Sand shadow in which you stagg- ! [tiered home over the billowy road, I Tne breath of the basilisk, the I- croaking of the raven, the duec |- of night, the rags of paupers 1.. and home’s rich content, all r withered and destroyed. Drink j v R and you will hear the wailing [ : of wives and children mingled lid* ' i

with the moaning of fathers and mothers, lamenting the doom of drunkards. Drink it, and yon will feel within your blood the seething venom of an incarnate fiend. For forty days and nights this liquid woe has been within the staves of oak, longing to scorch the lij)S and craze the brain of man.”
