Shrove Tuesday (March 5) gets its name ‘from the ancient custom in the Roman
lation on this day. The character of the day (says Dr. Chambers) as a popular
festival is mirthful; it is a season of jollity, drollery. The merriment began, strictly speaking, the day before, being what was called Collop Monday, from the practice of vating collops of salted meat and eggs on that day. Then did the boys begin their shrovetide and perambulations in quest of little treats which their senior neighbors used to have in store for them, singing :—
Shrovetide is nigh at hand,
And I become a shroving,
Pray dame something
An apple or a dumpling.
When Shrove Tuesday dawned the bells were set aringing and every body abandoned himself to amusement and good humor. All through the day there was a preparing
foundly important religious principles were involved in it The pancakes and Shrove Tuesday are in- extricably associated in the popular® mind and in old literature. Before being eaten, there was always a great deal of contention among the eaters, to see which could most adroitly toss them in the pan.

No one hears the changed yreeting—there are no words of endearment now. Oh, no, love could not live in -the same habitation with this vile, abominable vice. Little heed is taken when after a few years of this heavy strain on mind and nerves they give way and the weary heart is at rest. Then, in his loss, the wretched husband realizes how precious his faithful, untiring wife was to him, and as he gazes upon her lifeless form he thinks that if he could recall her he would repay a thousandfold her kindness; he curses his madness, his brutality, his midnight carousals; but all his grief is un- availing. Were he to shed his blood drop by drop he could not undo the past, nor win one word of forgiveness from those pale, cold lips. The loving eyes will never again smile upon him; she has gone—and for ever —and his soul hears but one sad sound—too late, too late !

And as human nature is always prone tu imitate whether for good or evil, this will be the case until this horrid rum traflic is put an end to.
It cannot be possible that the people of Souris and vicinity are in such a comatose condition that they do not realize the state of the moral atmosphere in which they live ; they must surely know what causes so much family disc’, so much contention among neighbors, aud so many farms to have that modern attachment—a mortgage. Yet very littte effort is made to make a change for the better, :..twithstanding the fact that there are so iuany ways in which each one could help if they wished. All could interest themselves in getting up debating clubs, encouraging reading classes, and thus improve the minds of the young as well as prevent much idleness and bar-room loafing. The moderate drinkers could give good example by giving up their frequent visits to t¥e rum shops, if they liked, for there is no evil propensity of the heart that cannot be overcome by self discipline.
Men who are called kind and generous
.|might prove the terms not misapplied, by
discontinuing the soul-killing habit of drink. No kind or generous man would take pleasure in actions that cause others pain,
Women, also, might do much good if they made their homes as bright and cheer- tul as itis in their powerto make them ; and were they more willing to forgive trifling indiscretions, they might male lile more bearable for themselves and those about them. It is not uncommon that whén a man has the misfortune to drink a little his wife will treat him to a good deal ° of abuse, and meet him next day at breakfast, dinner and tea without speaking, and so make worse what she tries to mend. Women make a great mistake who think such a course will be productive of good. A man cannot be blamed to be glad to ge: out of a house where he never sees a smile, except, indeed, when there are callers in, and never hears anything but monysyllables, save when he commits an error, Women who live on this principal will certainly never possess ideal homes. A woman’s smile has saved many a man when harsh words would have driven him to ruin. Goethe tells us that
Be he king or subject, he is most blest
Who in his home finds happiness and rest. Every honest man should show the con- tempt he must surely feel for those who have health and strength to work but pre fer to live by rum, heedless of the wretch- edness it brings to so many helpless little ones.
In short, fireside, press and pulpit should unite in reproving this bane of domestic, social and moral happiness, and although the millenium may be afar off, they can set many 4 mile stone on the glorious pathway of reform and improvement if they fight, not like the ** Old Guard,” but neither die nor surrender, for
‘*Intemperance weaves the winding sheet of souls,
And lays them in the urn of everlasting sleep.” Perit.

Another Answer to Mr. Stevenson.
Sir,—Mr. Stevenson's letter appeared in the Darry Examiner of the 28th of February. It surprised me very much to see the number of ‘passages that he pro- duced to prove that he was not a Baptist. Had he been trying to prove that he waa, those passages would have suited him a
good deal betier. Those passages are some
of the Baptists’ strong places. 1 have heard the ministers use them at the river side be- fore going into the water. I would remark * that he has not said one word about the line of separation that I drew between the Baptists and the Pedobaptists, or between the Dippers and the Sprinklers; and _ be- tween the adults and the infants. Mr. Stevenson would not come to this line. He anew that it would settle the question for ver against him. Now, I am going to give you a eketch from Hayward’ 8 Book of all Religions. In page 58 he says: ‘* Dis- | ciples of Christ, sometimes called Camp- bellites or Reformers. The rise of this society, if we only look back to the drawing of the lines of demarcation betweepit and
other professions, ” wie recent re About the commencement of the present century, the Bible alone
w ithout any human addition in the form of creed or confession of faith, began to be preached by many distinguished ministers of different denominations both in Europe and America. But it was not until the year 1823 that a restoration of the original Gospel and order of things began to be ad- vocated in a periodical edited by Alexander Campbell, of Bethany, Virginia, entitled The Christian Baptist. He and his father, Thomas Campbell, renounced the Presby- terian system, and were immersed, in the year 1812. They and the congregations which they had formed united with the Redstone Baptist Association.
1 will ask if J] have proven my point that — are Baptists? Ihave clearly proven y this history. What can Mr. Stevenson mean? It appears that he would like to make it appear that they were more perfect and more holy than other Baptists, and almost like to make j ‘ou believe that they had no founder ae the Apostles. Every
