ADVOCATING ABSTINENCE A CIRCULAR FROM THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND TEMPERANCE SOCIETY. The following circular has been .sent to all the clergy of the Dioses .of Huron : LONDON, Ont., March, 1891 - Reverend and Dear Sir,—We beg leave to inclose herewith a leaflet setting for'h the objects of the Church of Englaud Temperance So- ciety, and, with the cordial approv- al of the Bishop, would ask for it the careful consideration of the clergy, with a view to the more gen- eralestablishment of brnnch societ- ies throughout the diocese. We de- sire to point out that this society has the sanction of the highest author- ities of the chinch, and that both of the venerable presidents, the archbishop of Canterbury and the :archbishop of York, recently called attention to the good work neotnplish • ed by its instrumentally. Its scrip• turd( basis and comprehensive ob• ,jests seem to command it to' all who desire to suppress the evil of intem- perance, and to enliat the energies of the young especially in works of Chritsian usefulness. We would suggest that branches may hold open tneetinge for lect- ures, etc., or may include a inusie- al and literary program, and thus meet a want often felt, of a society for the moral, iutellectnal and spit'• itual improvement of the members. We shall either of us be glad to assist any one desirous to form a branch society and to procure sup• plies of cards of membership, badges etc., and to furnish any informat• ion in our power. Yours very truly. J. W. P. SMITH, London, ' W. J.

Tailpiece Continues His Sermons. en the Flagons* qt the Cities of New ' 'York, Brooklyn and Jerk -.His Ser. neon Mat Sunday. kIk.w Yong, April 124 -Dr. Talmage, itt cout.iuufauco of the course of sermons ou "Tllo.Ten Plagues of the Cities," to -day preached to large audiences on "The Plague of Crime." He took for his text I;ti xodus 7, O --"All' the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.'' Among all the Egyptian plagues none could l'a'vO been worse than this. The Nile is the wealth of Egypt. Its fish the fora(. Its waters the irrigatiou of garden a:td fields. Its condition decides the'( prosperity or the dooln of the empire. What happens to the Nile happens to all l ;yet. And now in the toot tlunt great is vet. id lnearuadined. It is a red gash sanies au empire. In poetic license we speak of bars which turn the rivers into blood. But my text is not a poetic license. It wag a feet, a great crimsou,.appalling condition describ- ed. The Nile tolling deap of blood, Can you imagine a more awful plague? The modern plague which nearest corres- pond:; with that is the plague of crime iu all our cities. It halts not for blood -shed. It shrinks from uo caruage. It bruises, and cuts, and strikes down, and destroys. It revels in the blood of oody and soul, this plague of crime rampant for ages, and never bolder or more rampant than now. The -annual police reports of these cities as I examine them aro to me more sugges- tive than Dante's Inferno, and all Christian people, al, well as reformers, need to waken so present and tremendous duty. If you want this "Plague of Crime" to stop there are several kinds of persons you need to con - skier. First, the public criminals. You ought not to be surprised that these people make up u large portion in many c.lmcuuultie,. The vast majority of the criminals whoL take s,sip from Europe come into our own port. la 113U8 of the forty-nine thousand people Milo were incarcerated in the prisps of tate country thirty-two thousand wore of foreign birth. Many of then( were the very desperadoes of society, oozing. into the slums of our cities, waiting fur au opportuuity to ri.,t and steal and debauch, juicing the barge gang • of Atnerieau thug; and cu - throats. It is their business to commit crime, and I do not supp,,se that suce in a year the .,ought of the immorality strikes them. :ldtied to teeei pr•,fessienil crintivals, American aid f(n•elee', there is a large class of men who are more or less indust- rious in crime. Iu oue year the police in ties cluster of cities arrested ten thousand people for theft, and ten thousand for as- sault and battery, and fiftyIjlousdnd for in- toxic:atlon. .l)t'ullken rlass is rue joi•ltsible for unuoh of the theft, since it confuses a man's i• leas of property, and he gets his hands on things that do not belong to him. Ten million dollars worth of property stolen in tits cluster of cities in one year. You cannot, as good citizens, be independ- ent of that fact.- You might as well think to stand in a closely confined room where there are fifty people and yet not breathe the vitiated air as to stand in a community whore there is such a great multitude of the depraved without being s mewhat contaminated. what is the fire that burns your stere down compared with tho to nil or ration 'that consumes your mor- als! What is the theft of the gold and silver from your utuuey- rids compared with the theft of your children's virtue? We are all ready to arraign criminals. We shout at the top of our voice, "Stop, thief!" and when the police get on the track we come out, hatless and iu our slip- pers, and assist in the arrest. We come around the bawlitle ruffian and hustle him off to justice, and when he gets m prison, what do we do for hint! With groat gusto wo put on the handcuffs and the hopples; but what preparation are we snaking for leo day when the handcuff; and the h lir !'les some off? Society sestina to say to these criminals. "Villain, go in there and rot," whon it ought to say, "You are an of- fender against the law, but we mean to give you an opportunity to reliant, we mean to help you. liere aro Bibles and tt•ttets and Christian influences. Christ died for you. Look, and live." Vast improvements have been made by in- troducing industries iuto the prison; but we want something more than hammers and shoe lasts to reclaim these people. Aye, we want more than sermons on the Stlbhat.h day. Society must impress these men with the fact that it does notenjoy their suffering, and that it is attemptiug to reform and ole- vate them. The majority of criminals sup- pose that society has a grudge against them, and they in turn have a grudge against so - They are harder in heart and more infuri- ate when they conte out of jail than when they went iu. Many of the people who go to prison go again and again and again. Some years ago of fifteen hundred prisoners who during the year had beeu in Sing Sing, four hundred had been there before. In a hoose of correction in the country, where during a certain reach of tilne thorn had been five thousand people, more than three thousand had been there before. So, in ono • case the prison, and iu the other ease the house of correction, left them just as bad as they were before. In some of the city prisons the air is like that of the Black Hole of Calcutta. I have visited prisons where, as the air s•vept through the wicket, it atm. ,dt kuocoe 1 rno clown. No sunlight. Young mon who had committed their first crime crowded in among old offenders I saw in one prison a woman, with a child almost blind, who had been arrested for the crime of poverty, who was waiting until the slow law could take her to the almshouse, where she rightfully belonged; but she was thrust in there with her child mid the most ahaneion- e I v, retches of the town. Many of the offenders in that prison sleeping on the floor, with nothing but a yermiu-covered blanket over them. These people crowded and wen a'.d wasted and half suffocated and infuriated. 1 said to the men, " How do you stand it here 1" "(Bid known." said one man, " wo have to stand it" Oit, they will pay sun when they get out. Whore they burnt -1 down one house they will burn down threat. They will etrike deeper the assassin's knife. They are this minute plotting worse burglaries. Some of the city jails are the best place; 1 know of to manufacture foot- pads, ♦a0abunds and cut-throats.

There wile one man during those years that Moue hundxpii and twouty-sight thousand dollars fn on4 year for 'serving the public. In a few years it wtta estimated that there were fifty millions 4 suite - treasure. squandered. In those tipues the critnieal had only to wink at the judge, or his law- yer would wink fog him, 'aye the question was decided for tip defendant. Of the eight thousand people arrested in that city in one year, 'only three thousand were punished. These little 'natters were "fixed up," while the interests or society were "fixed down." You know as well as I do that one vil- lain who escapes only opens the door for other crimivalities. Wizen the two pick -pockets snatched the diamond pin front the Brooklyn gentleman, in a Broadway stage, and the villains ,were arrested, and the trial was set down for the General Sessions, and then the t 'ialnever came, and never anything more was ..card of the case, the public officials were only bidding higher for more crime. It is no compliment to public authority, when we have in all the cities of the country, walking abroad, men and women notor- ious for criminality, unwhipped of justice. They are pointed out to you in the street day by day. There you find what are called the "fences' " -the men who stand between the thief and the honest man, sheltering the thief, and at a' great price handing over the goods to the owner to whom they belong. There you will find those who are called the "skinners," the tneu who hover around Wall street, with great sleight-of- hand in bouds and .stooks. There you find the funeral thieves, the people who go slid sit down and morn with families and pick their pockets: And there you find the "con- fidence ileo," who borrow money of you be- cause they have a dead child in the house and want to bury it, wan they never have a house or a family; ur they want to go to England and get a large property there, and they want you to pay their way, and they will send the money back by the very next mail. There aro the "harbor thiovos," the "shoplifters," the -pickpockets," fatuous alt over the cities. Hundreds of them with their faces iu the "Rogues' Gallery," yet doing nothing for the last five or ten years but defraud society and escape justice. \\'hen these people go uuart•ested and uii- puui,hed, it is putting a high premium upon vice, and saying to the young criminals of this country, "What a safe thing it is to be a groat criminal." The police stations of this cluster of cities furnish annually betwoon two and three hundred thousand lodgings. For the most part, Itis -se two and three hundred thousand lodgius are furnished to able-bodied men and wounen-pooplc as able to work as you and I are. When they are received no long- er rn ger at one police station, because they are "repeaters," they go to some other station, and so they keep mov- ing around. They get their food at house doors, stealing what they can lay their hands on iu the front basement while the servant is spreading the bread in tho back baseoieut. They will not work. Tinto and again, in the country districts, they have wanted huudreds of thousands of laborers. These men will not go. They do not want to work. I liars for that class of people the scant hill of fare that Paul wrote out for the Thessalouian loafers -"If any work not, neither should he eat," By what law of God or man is it right that you and I should toil day in and day out, until our hands are blistered and otn' arms ache and our brain gets numb, and thea be c tiled upon to support what in the United States are about two million loafers. They are a very dangerous class. Let the public au- thorities keep their eyes on thoni. • Again: Among the uprooting classes I place the oppressed poor. Poverty to a Ourtaiu oxteut is chastening; but after that, wheu it drives a man to the wall, and he hears his children cry in vain for bread, it sometimes makes him desperate. I think that there are thousands of honest men lacerated into vagabondism. There are ales, crushed under burdens for which they are not half paid. While there is no excuse for criminality, even in oppression, I state it as a simple fact that much of the scoun- drelism of the community is consequent upon ill treatment. There are many uien and women battered and bruised and stung until the hour of despair has come, and they stand with the ferocity of a wild beast which, paneled until it can run no longer, turns round, foaming and bleeding, to fight the hounds. • There is a vast underground New York and Brooklyn life that is appalling and shame- ful. It wallows and steams with putrefac- tion. You go down the stairs, which are wot and decayed with filth, and at the bottom you find the poor victims on the floor, cold, sick, three-fourths dead, slinking into a dark- er corner under the gleam of the lantern of the police. There hat not been a breath of fresh air in that room for five years, literal- ly. The broken sewer empties its contents upon them, and they lie at eight in the swim - 'Mug filth. There they are, men, women, chil- dren; blacks, whites; Mary Magdalen without her repentance, and Lazarus without his God. These aro "the dives" into which the pick- p"ekots and the thieves go, as well asa great many who would like a different life but cannot get it. These places are the sores of the city, whleh bleed perpetual corruption. They are the underlying volcano that threat- ens up with a Cafaec'as earthquake. There is another layer ot poverity and deatitntiun, not s', squalid, but almost as helpless. Yon hoar the incessant wailing for bread and clothes and fire. Their eyes are sunken. Their cheek bones stand out. Their hands are damp with slow consump- tion. Their flesh is puffed up with dropsies. Theirbreath is like that of the charnel -house. They bear the roar of the wheels of fashion overhead, and the gay laughter of men and maidens, and wonder why God gave to others so much and to them so little. Some of them thrust into an infidelity like that of the poor German girl who, when told in the midst of her wretchedness that God was good, said: - "No, no good God. Just look at me. No good God." In this cluster of cities, whose cry of want I interpret, there are said to be, as far as I can figure it tip from the reports, about three hundred thousand honest poor who are dependent upon individual, city, and State charities. If all their voices could come up at once, it would be a groan that would shake the foundations of the city, and bring all earth and Heaven to the rescue. But. for the most part, it suffers unexpressed. It sits iu silence, gnashing its teeth, and sucking the blood of its own nt'tortos, waiting for the judgment day. Oh, I should not wonder it on that day it would be found out that some of us had scene thing that be- longed to them; some extra garment which might have made them comfortable in cold days; some bread thrust into the ash barrel that might have appeased their hunger for a oldttle-vrldie,-soma-awastod-ecandle ore-gasejetes that might have kindled up their dark- ness; some fresco on the ceiling that wrt'K sassumilaileAllhaliwaiessits wottkt have g1 lhe?►i .4 Ypof, . +Retie jelvol which, brOGI tp that orphan gul .i6 time, might/ Y%'v9 Rept her from tieing ol'QWcli'd Oft tl1B eciilice8 0 an unclean life; some New, prtutamen' that .would havetoil tbenm oflifto rriib"pants to. seely sad save' that which was lost" Oft, this wave of vagrancy and hunger anal bales edlleas that 'dashes against our fronts door step!

Onions, lettuce, peas, beets, radish, and spinach can be sown as soon as the soil eau be worked. In the garden the best plan of applying commercial fertilizers is broadcasting. In the gardeu especially it is difficult to get the soil too rich.
