TEMPERANCE AWHLDSTOYIHTEMPERANCE? Much. The irenlie elements of her nature hove fitted her for corn naml ; nnd God has made the empire of her heart boundless. Love is the bond of gytnpi(hy with nil intelli .p-t-ut creatures. It is the master-principle of society: a spontaneous emotion of the soul, obedient to no motives save those which claim kindred with its own character. Fear cannot inspire it; power cannot suppress it; w< hlili cannot purchase* ji; authority cannot com.innnd it. A slave in all its malignant passions, liie soul is free in every exercise ol affection, in every act of benevolence However other objects nriv inspire lm emotion, woman was male to be mistress of this passion in the soul. If she dues not rule in the henrt of man. it is usually besauie iron loess does not rule in her own.

If purity and peace are not found there, society will be filled with discontent and contention. As sure as inteiu- perance crosses the threshold of domestic life, every pure and hurh influence will depart. Low indulgence, crawling down through every decree of meanness—oven though covered with refinement—drags the soul along, robbing it of noble sensibilities and introducing it to every form of '-swilled insolence," till she entirely "Joses the divine property of her (irst being."
