Governor Pillsbury, of Minnesota,
recently made a powerful appeal to
professed C hristian Churches, and to
philanthropic people every-where to

A Household Teuqierauce Pledge, as
circulated by some of the ladies of
River Falls:—“We, the undersigned,
solemnly pledge ourselves, by God's
help to abstain from the use of intox
icating liquors as a lleverage in any
form,including wine or brandy flavors
in cooking or confectionery; and that
we will exert our influence against all
use or sale of such liquors as a bever
age or flavoring.”
A bill lias been introduced into the
Legislature exeraptingthe lands of the
Wisconsin Central Railroad Company
from taxation for five years. This
may be an act of justice to t e Com

enacted, we trust the settlers along
the road will forever hold their peace
aliout it, especially so if it passes
without remonstrance from them.
For four Sundays, beginning on the
first Sunday of next month, February
4th, I propose to commence, D. V., a
course of lectures on the Episcopal
Church, in number, eight. They will
he held as follows: In the morning
of each Sunday in our church edifice
over the river, and in the evening of
each Sunday in the Academy of Mu
sic. in River Falls. These lectures
will he explanatory es the inode of
worship and the doctrines of the
Church of God. The first lecture will
be introductory; the second will touch
ujK>n the nature and oneness of the
Church. C. 11. Canfield.
At the M. E. Church, last Sabbath
evening, Rev. S. W. Ilorner gave a
very interesting account of the tem
perauee revival at Pittsburg, Pennsyl
vania. He spent two weeks in at
tendance uiKm the meetings while vis
iting in the East, and is familiar with
the methods used by the leader. Mr.
Murphy. The distinguishing feature
of the movement, is the fact that it is
a religious one, and liased on the
principle that drunkards cannot be
permanently reclaimed without lieing
converted, and receiving help from
the Friend of believers. Medical sci
ence has long since announced that
drunkenness is in the list of incurable
diseases. In Pittsburg and its sub
urbs. probably one fifth of the |»eople,
are dependent upon the liquor trade,
or are drinking people, or lH>th. 25,000
(>ersous have already signed the pledge
and the good work goeson. Saloons are
rapidly closing front lack of custom.
Police courts are out of business.
Meetings are being held at the M. E.
i hurch every evening of the present
week, 1 poll Mr. Murphy's plan, under
the direction of Rev. S. W. Horner,
and with the assistance of the other
clergyman. Let the (>eople cotne out
and bring their friends who are going
to ruin through strong drink. The
meetings are sure to be interesting at
least. The miraculous success of the
plan, shows it to be the right one.
All other means have failed to secure
permanent result. Let wives bring
their husbands and mothers their
sons who have a love of drink.

and the excellent sleighing.

Ellsworth, Jan. 24, 1877.
A negro was found dead in Geor
gia, having fallen and broken his neck
while stealing chickens from a high
roost. He was a class leader in s
church, and bis pastor in preaching
the funeral sermon, was bothered by
the question where the soul of the
dead brother had gone. “His well
known piety,” said the preacher, “in
dicates that he died a Christian; yet
there are circumstances connected with
his death that are perplexing. If, as
ter he fell and before he struck the
ground, he repented of his sins, there
can be no question but that lie is now
in glory; but there was migl.ty little
time tor him to think about it.”
Fencing farms.
The cost of fencing farms in this
country is simply immense. No man
will begin to estimate it, unless he has
spent some time in considering it. Oc
casionally we have alluded to it, but
never have we presented the subject
in its full magnitude. Of course we
do not claim that no fencing whatev
er is necessary, but we are inclined to
the belief that three-fourths of the
fencing now used is useless. And one
bad feature of it is the fact that this
vast outlay for unnecessary fencing
has to be renewed once in every eight,
or, possibly, ten years. We ask our
prairie farmers to bike this matter in
to candid consideration, and then tell
us if there is any one branch of farm
ing wherein “retrenchment” is more
needed.
SENSITIVENESS.
Perhaps jealousy would be a better
word for it; ami yet that would not
express it. It is ofttimes amusing to
see it in people. No matter what the
defect or peculiarity may be, it is all
the same. If the nose be slightly
curved, the eye askance, the lip
curled, the cheek slightly flushed, or
greater defects, the poesessor is al
ways certain that the observer is
squinting directly at it. And yet, the
observer may actually be unconscious
of the existence of any peculiarity
whatever. The latest case that came
under our observation was that of a
gentleman in attendance at church,
where the good parson incidentally if
! marked that the room was very want.
Our stranger friend, who was not
! accustomed to the eccentricities of
our clerical brother, was sure that the
minister made an allusion to his head,
■ the hair of which was .ather brilliant,
and of a peculiar bne. 'Twas a clear
cass—we saw it at once, and it re
quired some good logic to allay the
suspicious of our friend. Moral: Be
careful in the use of your tongue, as
. well <4 in the use of vow eyes.
MUSIC IN THE LODGE ROOM.
It is said that
“Musk 1 hath charms to soothe the savage
breast,
To soften rooks, or bend the knotted oak.”
I apprehend, however, that the
woodman's ax has as much power
over the oak as the charms of music,
whatever inay lie its influence upon
the savage heart . Is is also said that
“Music, when soil voices die,
Vibrates in the memory.”
And this illustrates the idea found
in the following couplet—
“ Though you may target the singer,
You can ne’er forget the song.”
And lienee it is that the place
“Where music dwells
Lingering and wandering onus loth to die,
Like thoughts whose yery sweetness yieldeth
proof
That they were horn for immortality,”
must be a sauted (dace.
And this brings me to the theme of
this essay. We recognize the power
of Music every-where; it has been so
recognized by all nations, in all ages,
under all conditions of human life—
in war, in peace, in joy, in sorrow,
both nations and individuals have felt
its power over them. And well might
it be—well would it be—for the hu
man race had Music always been used
for honorable and beneficent purposes.
Sacred songs—soul-inspiring melodies
—have done more to bring the Church
and Sunday-School to their present ex
alted position, than all the sermons
that were ever ((reached to the human
race. Patriotic songs have enlisted
more soldiers, and, in fact, won more
battles, than all the eloquent addresses
ever delivered in the presence of sol
diers.
But, you tell me that the Lodge
Room is not without its music. I ad
mit it. But do we have enough or it ?
Is its character sufficiently varied ?
Is it not merely formal ?
Let us reflect for a moment, and see
what we have io contend with; let us
see if we can discover the greatest
drawback upon our Order, and upon
good morals in society. And wliat,
let me inquire, is the first oject we
discover? What is it that raises its
hydra-head in bold relief above all
others?
It is with feelings of sorrow that I
answer: — Intemperance. And there,
too, bath Music—once a heavenly
maid—beeu brought into requisition
to allure to its dangerous paths, the
victims of Intemperance; and step by
step they descend the dark valley till
at last they reach a drunkard’s eterni
ty. If Music, then, be an antidote,
why not employ it ? Why not make
the best of it ? Let us have the most
entertaining Music in the Lodge Room,
and encourage it every-where. Our
odes are good—even excellent —
as far as they go. But we want
more of them; we want more good
Temperance Songs; we want them set
to the music of the most popular of
patriotic war songs. And when they
wear out, let us have new ones. It
would be for the good of the order for
members to indite them, and still bet
ter to sing them. Cannot this be
done? Who will try his hand, or his
head, for a new song ? It will be, or
ought to be, a pleasant—yea —a prof
itable exercise. But once let us try
it, and ere long the
“Lodge-night will lie filled with music,
And the cares that infest the day
Will tald their tents like the Arabs,
And as silently steal a ay,”
leaving us the better for our labors—
the happier for our efforts to thwart
the dangers that threaten not alone the
prosi*erity of our Order, but the peace
and happiness of society every-where.
