I wish not to be undermood as willing to allow these conferences at the sacrifice cfproper discipline and goodorder. 0a the contrary, they must tslrs place only at proper and convenient times, and not when they would in any way interfere with or

I generally licence these conversations or discussions, only when I am engaged in setting and ruling copies; _hlIItIl|II‘ manuscripts; correcting Dictation; and giving what I may term private or individual direc- tions in Writing and Arithmetic. dtc. Some persons are of opinion that not a whisper should be heard in school at any time. except when the classes are engaged in their recitatione before the teacher. But in a prosperous and diligent school, where it variety of branches is taught in one room, end where the pupils are of nearly all ages, this is impcuibls. where there is much business, there must necessarily be some bustle. Yet the humming murmur of indus- try, is widely diflhrent from the tumultuous uproar of confusion arid disorder. The former may be compared to the low and almost soothing buzz of a properly working and well oiled system ofniachisery, whicb'is neither disagreeable nor distracting; but the latter to the stunning clnng of violence and ruin, which both bswildcrs and disturbs. ‘

Follow Ccuutrymcu.—W0 in-so upon you to solicit irom the legislature the passage of s V prohibitory liquor aw from a consideration of the amount of productive labor, that would thus, be saved to the country. _ Whatever may be the resources of a community they require to be developed, otherwise, they will be of little advantage; and for this purpose labor is Iteccssar . In proportion to the numbers in av community, that are idle or industrious, on it will be less or more pros rous in it cuntnry point of view. But who oespotsec t. ntwhere the drinking customs prevail, _much tune is wasted in searchin after intoxicating liquor. in quafing the dole rious fluid, in recovering from its stupifying eliiacts. All this time, were a probibitory Ii uor law in force, iniglit employed in productive labpr, b which the country woo d be pro r_tionab y enriched. And is it not the duty of e islstors to endeavor laws, b which t e resources of the , most efiiectually developed? Farther: we urge you to solicit from the legislature the passage of a pi-oliibitory law from a consideration of the amount of talent that would be, thus, rescued from destruction. The re of intsinperance are not confined m persons of inferior capacity. How often do we see persons of the most brilliant talents, ve miss of uncommon usefulness, who as to shine as stars of the tint ' tlriaament of science, who vice. lappcal ‘ to your own knowledge a n is point. ask you, do not your minds 0 ii turn to persons, whose superior talents iai ht have earned for them the highest posts o honor and emolu- nene, pad they been characterised by sobrict ; but whose infem ace has sunk them to c

vsry drugs of social. . By a probibitory liquor law, might not suc persons, even st, be, at least in some m 0m “Nit

essurc. eem , deep degradation! Might not the sweets which tested in their earlier and morciunocent life, when as yet, they had not become the davss of intsm rance, be made spin to revi- sit them-I Ata l events, others would, in time oeniiu . beeaved from the s lling catastro- . ‘fhe President of the mind States, in Is late Message, ex a noble s timent, when he recommend to the notice of ‘ the men of ' ulna, who had benefited the com- monwealth‘ its exercise. If it be ths'duty of the legielalurs to reward talent, surely, it is Jot less ucumbent upon it by every legitimate- enseheiit, to redeem-it om destruction.

We urge upon you to solicit trom the is is-_ leturs the of slaw for tie su press_o_n. of the liquor tra c, from a consideration of thc__ disease which it would avert. Ask the physi- cian, whstis the ofict of alcohol on the con- stitution! Will he tell you that it contains a single elem_:nt of nutrition! Will he not inform

It is well known that. in this Island, many of the prosecutions for ofi'cuces before our courts ofjusticc, in some way or other, arise from intcm rauce. And by whom have those persons w l0 have been arraigned been supplied with the deleterious Iluid which urged them on to crime‘ By the vendors of intoxicating liquors?

an urge upon you to solicit from the lo ‘a- lsture the passage of s robibitury liquor aw .fi'om a oohsiderstion of the poverty and wretch- cdness which it would avert from many domes- tic circlcs. We could point to families not a few, over which intem rsncc has shed a doc gloom. We could point to wives not a few whose hearts are chop saddened by the drunk- enness oi‘ husbands. We could int to bus- bands aud fathers‘ who spend, ay after day and night after night, _around the intoxicating bowl ; while thoir families are ining at home in poverty and wrctchoduess. an our le is- lature do nothing to remove the gloom which hangs over these hapless domestic circles?

_ upon you to solicit from _the legis- lature the passage of a prohibitory li uor law from a consideration of the loss of ii c which it would prevent. It is said that in the United Smtes thirty thousand persons. annually, died through intemperance. In this Island the number of deaths from intoxication is not _, Ilow often do we hear of some lisplcss fellow creature, who being under the influence of drunkenness, has pcrishcd fro exposure to tho inclemcncy of the weather? fir are these the onl persons who come to an untimely grave tlirough the effects of alcoholic drinks. Many die from their influence who were never accounted irrtemperatc in the common sense of the word. The fatal isou is imperceptibly preyin upon their vitals until death is the incvita _le result. It happens, however, that the lives of the innocent are sacrificed to the drunkenness of others. We select one illus- tration. A ship leaves our shores for a neigh- bouring rt frcigiitedwith many ofour friends,

ropolle by the power ofstcam or wafted along I: ic prosperous gale, she plouglis the wave, in majestic style. Joy thrills the bosoms of the passengers and pleasure beams on their countcnuncos, they hope tor a speedy voyage to their destined port. ut, ah! the ship carries in her bosom the bewilderiu liquid. Those towbom her management has n cu- trusted havc drunk dcoply ofthc inebriuting draught. In the mean time the weather has assuiued a threatening aspect, the heavens groiv black, tho tempest rages, the bark is butfuttcd b tho angry waves, while those, by whose szill and good manegvment, she might have been safely conducted to her destined port, are so stupefied by intoxication as to be unfit for the important task : and till are consigned to a watery rave. Would 5that this were only a fictiou o the imagination. Another letter and we have done. ' 1

The followin opinion of this distinguished gentle- man is, t creforc, at least, of equal value with that of Geor e Colce, William Lord, Edward Whelan,A. itcheil,and all the other would- be-thought but really “ stick-in-the-mud” libe- rals of our own little Islc put together. This opinion is extracted from a letter recently ad- dressed by Mr. Cobdcn to a Mr. J.

" Every day's experience tends more and more to confirm me in the opinion, that the 'I‘aasi-aaaiicl Cause lies at tltsfoumlation of ant. social and poli- tical nlroaas. It is vain to sash, by extension of the FRANCHISE, or FREE TRADE, or by ANY OTHER MEANS, to elevate the labouring insssss. unless we can impart to them habits of SOBRII'I'I‘Y and ECONOMY. In fact, their destiny is in -ritriit owis rtarrns, and they will, as a class, be elevated or depressed in the social scale in proportion to the extent ofthsir VIRTUES or their VICES! TIIIY arr, therefore, the 1-sure-r raisrros oftlis working millions who are labouring in (Its Cetus qf Tempe- rascs; and it is n gratifying fact, that tlienblut and most pereevsring of its advocates have been found asioag their ranks! !" 4

_ric|t'e De , at the Tetnpersrice IIa|l,s l.ady's Work Box ; 'I'icltets Is. Cd. each. The history of this Box is worthy of remarlt. This is the third time it has been iustrntnrntal in promoting religious and benevolent purposes. Its first appearance was on the occasion ofa Bazaar in Halifax, under the auspi- see of his Grace the Arclihishop, when £700 were realised‘ On that occasion the Box was greatly ad- mired, and got into possession ofthe Nuns of Halifax. Its next a rsnce was at a Radio, in up for the purpose o relieving the orphans of Iiilifitx, when several tickets were purchased by Merchants of this Island to aid the laudable undertaking. It was won at this time by n sister oforie of the Nuns, who was otferod any amount she wished to salt for it; but when she learned the object for which it was intended, nsmel , to raise funds in aid of St. Michael's Church and arochisl House in this Island, she generously presented it for that paylpcse. A great number of ickets have been already is- sued, and the sale must he brought to a close in a very few days.

'l‘he winner of the Box will be entitled to receive Slit cash in lieu of ii, if so inclined.

The following gentlemen iisve politely consented to act as a Committee to rnalie all the necoesar arrangements for the Rollie, and to receive the Tick- ets snd payments therefor.
