Prcdrnce Pbliieratxf. .Hullowell, Dec. 25, 1639. _____ ; A!* ACADEMY Verses A GROG SHOP Some men aflbct not to believe, tlml temperance arrangements have much to do wrth the prosperity of the young town9 and villages of the west. Let the following fact speak for itself. At the late meeting of the Synod in Jacksonville, the paster of the church in Waverly, while giving an j account of tho state of religion and morals in his neighborhood alluded to the origin and history of h;s village and contrasted it with another projected village in the neighborhood that was laid out abeut the surpe time, with, as far as natural and local uflh vaatages were concerned, about e^ual pros, pects of success. "The nucleus of our village, said the Reverend clergyman, was a literary institution. Society was formed / upon temperance principle, and we have been steadily and rnp'dly progressing in improvements and popuiut on ever since. Not much progress his true, has been made the last year in the temperance case. For, a year ago, there was but one adult male who was not a member of the Temperance ; A I Society,and there i? one now. wo neve contributed $100 to the temperance cause, within the yenr. Another village was founded in the neighborhood about the sa?n? j lime, with similar prospects. Its nuchus, J however, was n grog sfi'^p. The history of Che village can soon be told. The grogshop still remains. But the only remain, j ingframe of ft house was the other day j removed to ourvillage. We recollect, soon after coming to the i slate, passing through these villages. We ! passed through Appotlotua% the rival village j firit. We9uwthe grog-shop, and before it, stood loaning against the fencw, a wretch- j , ed looking being, disgorging from his i stomach, what heh.nd received in the grog- > shop. A group of men, in scarcely better j condition stood by. Our ears were stun- < ned with the sound of blasphemy as we rode along. Having rode some two or three miles, we came to Waverly, and turned in for the night. After supper the neighbors collected at the house where we who j staying. It was for a social religious meet. { ing. Instead of disgusting and horrid profanity we heard the voice of prayer and praise. There were only three buildjpgs at that time in the village. Two years after we came to Waverly again. We were reminded at once, by its appearance, ofa prosperous and thriving New Eng. land village. A church had been formed which sustained a pastor. An Academy was in operation, occupying a fine brick building, which cost $2,800. Gentlemen j from Jacksonville, SpringheJd and the surrounding country were sending their sons there to be educated. Now, the people themselves assured us that the prosperity of their villaage was in a great measure owing to their temperance arrangements. In the morning, as we were leaving the j vdlace, a lad got into our carriage and rode ! ft mile with us. ''You are succeeding so i well in Wnverly, how ore they getting j ftt Appollooia?" we inqulrs^. 4,0 they re not getting on ut ol). We call it allalonysaid he. And sure enough, we found the still remaining. But it | was almost all-atony. No visible improve- i mcnt had been made in twe years. Now j1 wo regard this as a lair specimen of the '' comparative influence of temperanca and literature and religion on the one hand, and grog-shops en the other, in building up society. The one tends only to s'agna. tiou and destruction, and the other to thrift end prosperity. , I Among common people, will b* found , more of hardships borne manfully, mure ; of religious trust, more unvarnished truth, i more of that generosity which gives Jwhat the giver needs himself, and more of a wise estimate of life and death, than among the more prosperous. temperance in ireland. 70,000 joined the Temperance Societies, Detract of a Letter from Richard Allen, E.sq. Cor. Sec. of the Irish Temperance Union, to E. Delavan, Esq. Dublin, Nov. 19, 1939. To E. C Delavan, Esq. Dear Friend?Truly, we live in an age of wonders. The days of weakne ss are past ; what was u little taper, kept alive by the greatest care of a few, has now burst into a might flame. The principles of total abstinence are now spreading with a rapidity which their warmest friends never dared to hope for. The weekly Royal Exchange meeting in Dublin has been so immensely crowded,that it'has been found necessary to muke a double charge for admission. It is in the south that wonderful progress is ma. king, under, tb# labors of the R-v. Theobald Matthew, h Roman Catholic clergyman. Mere the people are joining by thousnnds, (^000 in two days lately; Cork, Fonsel, Limerick, Clommel, Dungarvon, seem to vie with each other in the extent and vigor of th#,<r movenien'8. In Limerick alone, 10 000 have taken the pledge. Dungarv. on, recently the most drunken place in Ireland, seems to bo tak? n by starm. A thou, satid and more have signed the pledge. In Droghi-la are a thousand teetotallers, and during a space of nine months, since the re. form commenced, there were too special, two quarter, and nineteen petty sessions, there was not a single person before it for t i> e/iAn any misdemeanor. in neuasi cue uwvu members. Here work men have formed themselves into anti.usage associations, with excellent effect. All the Dublin associations are in an active s'atc, and in Culow, Ack!ow, Westford, Ennerserthy, Shillelagh, good societies are active in their operations, 70,000 have been added to us. 'Till liberty has been given to Sir E. Blakery, commander of ;ho force in Jrelnnd, to hold tempernwe meetings in the barracks, upwards of 2.000 soldiers have been addressed j tl? meetings ore to be held fortnightly. 'There is one class of men upon whom we can yet rely. It is the same class that s'ood 011 the Utile given at Lexington?that gathered on the heights of Bunker Hill, and poured down from the hills of New England ?which were the life-blood of the nation when the English lion was ready to devour i:,?I mean the Farmers. They were never found to trample on l?w and right.? Were I to commit my character to any c/ass of men, my family, and my country's safety, it would be to the farmrrs. They aro a class of men such as the world never was^for honesty, intelligence and|Romin rirtue, sweetened by the Gospel of God.?
