International Series Lesson— Temperance

The sons made themselves vile and he re- strained them not. To become a great sinner takes as much

it is only the tide of impulse and action moved into opposite directions. If parents and teachers realized how vastly these two results depended upon early associations and training, how carefully would the young be watched and preserved from all those evil tendencies however small at first, which if persevered in,will end in hardened criminality. All sin is vile, the first man- ifestations Jet it be in what form it may has the geyp of untold misery, it is not difficult to crush these germs in their earliest existence; ifah no, you must not— when that darling child is so impressible, had been strenuously adhered to,what pangs it would have saved many a heart broken parent; but foolish indulgence, miscalled kindness has at length stranded that same exactable child into the determined out- rager of all that ispure and true. Parents learn the lesson! Use all

disown them. selves vile with the sin of drunkenness, | brought on, nine cases out of ten, by the) use of wine and spirits inthe home. The’ mother is responsible for this; its exclusion | lies within the precincts of her will. This’ decision, generally speaking, is all the re- | straint that is necessary, at all events, when | a mother has pursued this course, she can | meet trouble with a calm conscience, and | looking upto the great sympathizer, can secure the grace and comfort that she needs, but without this consciousness that she has ‘removed the stumbling blocks, she may wring her hands in bitter recrimimation.

A pamphlet on the Temperance Question by Rev. R. Wallace, of Toronto, published under the auspices of the Ontario Branch of Dominion Alliance, is full of interesting facts and figures (to be obtained from 8. R. Riggs, Toronto, for five cents.) We just quote a few. About one seventh of the grain of G. B. is wasted on the liquor trafic, when thousands of people are on the verge of starvation. In the United King- dom 52,659,000 bushels of grain are de- stroyed yearly for beer; 100,000,000 bushels are annually destroyed in Anglo Saxon world, which would give two barrels of flour to every family in England, United States and Canada during the year. During the last seven years the large total has been spent of £987 000,000, or £200,000,000 more than the national debt of Great Britian. It is said there are 200,000 places in Great Britain where liquor is sold, and these are probably doing more to injure God’s cause than the 40,000 ministers can do to advance it. As the resnlt mainly of intemperance nearly 3,000,000 apply yearly for parish relif in that wealthy country. The liquor traflic of Great Britain costs as much as would snpport 600,000 missionaries at $1,200 a year, 500,000 schoolmasters at $500, build 5,000 churches at $10,000, 5,009 schoolhouses at $4,000, and would give to the world two hundred millions bibles at 25 cents each, 500,000,000 tracts at $1 per 100—would give 100,000 widows $100 a year, and 200,000 poor families $50 a year. In short would provide a machinery that would evangelize the world in a short time, or pay off the national debt in four years.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

_— ~~

Telegraphy.

Srz,—Several paragraphs haveappeared of

the P. E. Island system in particular.

First with regard to P. E. Island Lines ‘and rates. The Company which I repre- sent is looked upon as a gigantic monopoly,

| American Company have invested about £30,000 sterling in the P. E. Island \telegraph system—they draw‘a gross re- jveeee of about £3,000 annually. Deduct- ing the expenses of working, and a small ‘fund for submarine cable renewal, in all ‘about £2,300 sterling, there remains £700 sterling or the enormous dividend of about 24 per cent.

__ When I came to Prince Edward Island in | 1871, telegraphic communication with the | outside world was constantly being inter- rupted. There was a light cable (three or four tons to the mile} across the Straits, and vessels’ anchors were continually break-

‘were entirely cut off. The tariff to Sack- |ville was then 75 and 8, that is $100 and 10 to the Dominion. _ The tariff authorized by the Legislature of P. E. Island was much ‘higher. The cry then was “‘give us reliable communication, the rate is a matter of secondary importance.” The company Jaid ‘down twelve miles of sixteen ton cable, the largest and best type of single core cable manufactured, to duplicate which to-day would take nearly one-tenth of the proposed capital stock of the Rapid Tele-

at the Capes and vessels make them a place of resort. I for one don’t want to under- take the repairing of a light cable there.

| But, it is urged, that if our rates were put at a lower figure a large increase o business would result, which would more

than make up the reduction. This is not my experience in Prince Edward Island. To begin with

‘it is impossible for us to mske a 25 cent ‘rate to the other provinces. We pay the | Western Union or Great Northwestern ‘Co’s., 25 cents on every ten word message | which we send tu or receive from any part of the Dominion. (1 except of course, Manitoba and British Columbia, to whieh the rates from Nova Scotia and New Bruns- | wick are $1.25 and $1.50 respec ively. ) \If our rate were 25 and 1 the tariff would then be 50 and 2, or double | what is paid in the other provinces, and ‘there would be quite as much grambiing as \there nowis. It must be remembered, ‘moreover, that the Island lines do the

‘business of 100,000 people only, mainly

j

jagriculturists, who are not telegraphers.

'The Patrict says: ‘‘Owing to our irregular

kind mail communicaticn in winter, we are com- ro

pelled to use the telegraph more frequently than we otherwise would.” As_ the of messages beyond Sackville during the period when navigation is closed, does not exceed twenty five per day for the whole Island, and as the whole receipts do not during that period cover working expenses, it will be very unfor- tunate for Telegraph Companies if we ever get reliable winter communication. To show that our agriculturalists are not telegraphers, the inland business of the Island is practically of no value. Under a twenty-five cent tariff, the last six days there have been just thirty-one messages between Charlottetown and Summerside, the two largest places on the Island—five messages per day. Reliable communication, reduction of tariff, and a large increase in the number of offices in P. E. laland, have not brought the receipts of the Island to a higher figure than they were ten years ago.

But this letter is already too long. I propose to deal with automatic systems and rates in the the other Provinces in

another. T. C. Jamzs, Supt. A. A. Tel. Co,

—— eee

Sir,— We are rather amused upon read- ing in yesterday's Patriot, a would-be witt communication from one signing himse Anti-Humbug, in which the said Anti Hum- bug takes upon himself the utter annihila- tion of those unlicensed individuals who presume, by their own peculiar methods, to assist in the alleviation of human misery. Perhaps we ought to feel astonished that the Honorable D. Laird should condescend to accept payment from alleged ‘quacks’ for assistance in promoting their practice ; and, at the same time insert publications meant to be disastrous to his patrois; but ‘“‘we have lived long enough’ to realize ‘“‘what’s in a name! etc., etc. Honorable is not always the title of honor, of gratitude, oreven of a certain amount of wordly discretion.

The chief support of Anti-Humbug’s theory is quotations from Samuel Lover, We might follow suit in quoting from Dicken’s, ‘‘Mrs. Gamp,” but while admitt- ing there are persons who enter a_ profess- ion only to bring ridicule upon that pro- fession, we cannot condem the whole for the actious of the few. How many of the nurses of the American War carried a di- ploma? And where did Florence Nightin- gale, of fame immortal, earn a degree in medicine? In every calling in life there are the specially gifted for the position, and the dril/ed into the position. A course of tuitiou may engraft into the mind of memory a limited supply of knowledge, but it cannot impart capacity. The veriest dunce may scramble through a college course, but what of that? He is only now a more dangerous member of society than when he entered; because, far from confining himself like ‘‘Devilskin Duck” to the dispensing of ‘patent medi- cine” he ransacks his own stupid brains to prescribe some death. dealing drug wherewith to soothe his patient. As for ‘‘Apothecary Latin,” Sweeney had as much right to at- tempt to mystify the wnitiated as any other dabbler in medicine, who solemnly adjusts the spectacles, compreses the lips, and with grave solemnity, writes out the ‘‘miracul- ous” abbreviations and dots, which ma mean—a little soda, a little chalk, a litt magnesia, or @ little of—anything, however simple; whilst, unlike the affable Sweeney, he politely enquires, ‘‘Who shall I look to for the pay ?”

As for, ‘‘people who ought to know better.” The afflicted rich, finding their own doctor unequal to their case, have a right to use their means in what direction they please; if loss be sustained, their money may as well fall into one ‘‘pocket” as another; whilst the poor are glad to avail themselves of advice gratis, doctors ‘‘fees”’ being out of proportion exorbitant in their case.

We cannot certify as to whether the vendor of the ‘“‘pads” has any specialty for softening of the brain, or for ponden as to “‘the age we live in.” If not, Anti- Humbug might cheer his drooping 7 by a perusal of Dr. Talmage’s Joel, 2. 30, sermon, (see Presbyterian of 27th ult.) after which, should he keep clear of ‘‘adventur- ers’’ and ‘‘ghost’s milk” we may hope to hear him ‘“‘quack ! quack | quack!” into the millenium of the 20th century.

Yours truly, Anti-Humpvs, No. 2. Oct. 4, 1883.
