AVOID LICENSED TAVEKNS,

* Avoid it. Pass not by it; turn from it and pass away.’’—Proy. iv:15,

Avoip the public house, is the earnest request of the writer. Turn away from the institution of iniquity. Look not on it. Like the command given to Lot's wife, remove yourself away from the city or place doomed to desiruction, lest judgment overtake you.

‘* Be not partakers of their sins.’’—Prov. xXvi:27. ‘Ponder the path of thy feet and let all thy ways be established,

Turn not to the right hand nor to the left; remove thy feet from evil.

For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord and he pondereth ali his goings.

His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself,

lf granting license to sell rum, to make men drunk, is a crime (and the Lord ha declared that her house is the way to hell, going down tothe chambers of death, for no drunkard shall inherit the Kingdom of God), how then can men professing to ‘love the Lord’”’ and praying that “ His Kingdom may come,’’—how can they, | say, grant license to sell the accursed thing which strengthens and builds up the king- dom of Satan ?

He that is not for me is against me,

He that gathereth not for me scattereth abroad. . '

[ ask the question: Can Godsfearing men do that which is displeasing to God, wilfully? Impossible! ‘ For if we sin wil- fully, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sin.” Turn fromit. Grant, them no li- cense,

‘* Let them come to an end,”

‘Let them be taken in their own snare.”

Avoid it. Turn from it. Like Daniel of old, who refused to partake of wine pre- pared by the King. For Daniel proposed in his heart that he would not defile him~ self with wine.

Daniel honored God,and He biessed him. let Charlottetown have three men with the spirit of Daniel in them; and then the Licensing Board will be fairly represented. Grog shops will cease, We will not hear, then, the how! of the drunkard nor the blasphemous oaths of those who are mad- dened by strong drink, nor the decrepid forms of rum.poiwoned humanity. — No; but we will then see peace, joy and right- eousness abound. Then we can repeat the petition: “Thy will be done on earth as it is done in heaven.” Now, | ask the question : How can the Lord’s will be done on earth and grant license to sell the accursed thing to make men mad,

curse and kill? Impossible. {[t is mock- ery. When they ask for license, avoid it. Turn from it. Pass away.

Seeing that the curse of the Lord is in the house of’ the wicked; and if we grant License we send men to hell for ever! Fearful decom! Where are our Temperance men to-day? What are they.doing? Arise! U thou that sleep- est. Are they like Jonah? Do _ they shrink from duty? Are they wrens to Tarshish to hide themselves? Where are they? I fear they are tossed on the bil» lows of the ocean. They are fast asleep. The t whale of Intemperance, with its insatiable jaws, is ready to swallow you up. Is moderation the barge that you take re- tugeon? Then, if it is, your state is a sad one. You are nos safe, You have deserted your colours. You are sailing to the land of the enemy. Arise, O r! See the danger. Up with the Banner of Pure Temperance; and then may you pray ‘Thy Kingdom come.”’ ; Avoid it. Pass not by it. from granting License. A Frienp OF ‘TEMPERANCE.

HON. P. FORTIN AND THE FISH | ERTIES. sas The Hon. P. Fortin arrived at Halifax on the 22d instant, from the Magdalene Islands. He lett Quebec on the 28th Jul in the Government steamer ‘‘ Druid,” Captain Marmen, at the request of | the Minister of Marine and the gentlemen en-

gaged in managing the Canadian case for the British Government be fore the Fish- eries Commission, His instructions were

to obtain all the information possible re- garding the fisheries; the number’ of American vessels frequenting our waters the quantity of fish taken by them, and any other information which in his judg- ment it might be possible or well to obtain, No fitter person could have been chosen for this mission, as his knowled of the ture and extent of the fisheries has-alr. been of considerable service to those en- gaged in preparing our case. In obtaining the evidence required, he sailed over | ,40) miles of coast, landed and visited the fish- ermen at forty different fishing stations, and obtained about 100 affidavits from the leading merchants, fishermen and others. At all places he was well received, people of all political shades testifying to the great interest he has always shown in all that ap- rtains to the fisheries of the Gulf and iver St. Lawrence, and feeling’ sure that through him their rights. and interests would be thoroughly represented. Among those who come to Halifax to give evidence from Gaspe and Bonaventure, are John Short, Esq., M. P. for Gaspe, and the Hon. Thomas Sayage. Dr. Fortin was accom. panied on his trip by Dr. Wakeham, of Quebec, who had resided for some years on the Gulf Coast, and by Mr. John Galt, son of Sir Alexander Galt, the British Commis- s1oner.-— Montreal Star.

Near Bear Brook yesterday, Oliver Artu. boise, with two sons, went out to shoot deer and were not stocessful. Returning home, his two sons walking ahead of him while he carried his gun on his shoulders, whilst passing through some bush the trig. ger caught and the gun went off anda moment later the father heard his eldest son, a boy of 15 years, cry out, “ Father {am shot!’ The father ran up to him, when the lad added: ‘‘ Don’t mind, father, [ can’t live long.’’ He was carried home and medical assistance sent for. After lingering for eight hours the youthful suf: ferer passed away.

_ Hanlon accepts a challenge from Ross, of St. John, N. B., to row for $ Toronto Bay.

itis rumored very generally that Rey. A. S. Hunt, Superintendent of Education, has received notice that after 1st Septem- ber his services will not be required by the local government.

sienna THE REFORM CLUB AND “TRADESs MEN.”

The London correspondent of the Bir-

mingham Gazelle writes : —The books at the

Reform Club show that on the 14th of June, 1850, Mr. W. H. Smith was pro.

posed as a member by Sir Francis (then

Mr.) Crossley, seconded by Mr. E. P.

Baines, of Leeds, and rejected, the sole

reason of the blackballing apparently be-

ing that he was a ‘‘tradesman.’ Mr. Smith

was & moderate man then. and the ims

partial historian will hold, I think, that he/ exercised a wise discretion in turning the

cold shoulder toa party who, arrogating

to themselves the name of Liberals, could

be capable of so gross and narrowminded

sn act of illiberality. Mr. Smith found he

would bea Liberal in the literal rather than in the cant meaning of the term bet-

ter in the Conservative ranks than in those

of the Whigs,
