Misa lerster, as Mehitable Cartwright, was irresistable, her song Awfully Awiul receiving a burst of well merited applause. Little Miss Mills, as Mary, played with a childlike simplicity that was very taking. Mr. Tavernier was a very good Simon Slade. Mr. Miils was at home as Romaine, and Mr. Walsh as Harve Green played very carefully. Mr. Watertiéle played Willie Hammond very fairly, and showed that, with a little experience, he would make a capital facter. M. Trennier made a first-rate bar-keeper, in fact the piece was well played thromgheut. Mile. Nault sang a few songs which were deservedly en- wered. The farce of the “Artiul Dodger,’ in in which Harry Lindley, as the Dodger, fairly convulsed the audience, brought ene of the Company's best bills to a clese.

IT I8 AN OLD AND HEART-RRENDING STORY.

Nothisg new can be said, nothing inore can be added tothe dark and hideous picture, ao often portrayed by eminent speakers. This pernicious vice, like the destroying angel of old, carried destruction and death to every door. No one is safe from its death-like iangs It has Jet loose a flood of evils upon the world from which it can never be entirely purged, nutil the fire of Ged’s wrath shall consume the universe. From the day upon which the first indul- gence of intemperance took pace, by the partaking of the forbidden fruit, this crying evil has deluged the earth with sorrow and with sin. Men are apt to close their eyes to the fact that

HE, WHO KEVELS IN DRUNKENNESS, OFFENDS

AND INSULTS THE MAJESTY OF A JUST AND POWZRFUL GOD.

After all, this is the moat frightful side of the question. Did we fully comprehend the nature of degrading our humanity and de- facing the image of God in our

should tremble at the very theught. It is

souls we re that this vice makes a man, biasts his re}

iy prospecis, but ali tiuls is as nothing in comparison to the ruin and death of thy soul which it entails. My calling in life obliges me to direct your attention more particularly to this feature of the subject. We could almost »ndure the sad sight of beholding ali earthly aspirations vanish, ail happiness lost, all repntation gone ; but it sends acold shudder through our frames, it chills the very blued in our veins, to think that God is robbed of millions of souls, redeemed by the warm streams of His heart’s blood. The soul is the true image of the living Ged, it is the breath of His Divinity. In the creation of so mag- nificent a being, the Moly Trinity took counsel, and the creative words were spoken, ‘‘ Let us make man into our own image.”’ The soul is nothing less than the brilliant and glerious likeness of a God of inconceivable beauty, of Him whose infinite perfections cannot be fathomed, of Him who is the Creator of the brilliant dome of heaven. It fully participates in the divine beauties and thrilling glories of its Maker. I: continually flashes and glows with the Divine splendors, inhaling the beauties cf God, and _ dazzling with the brightness of {Heaven. The grace of God is constantly streaming in like sunbeams, upon that soul. It is surrounded with a flocd of light which pervades it with the rays of God’s divine splenders. The stars of heaven are pale, the sun’s beams are dark in compari- son totha luminous beauty ef that soul tinged with the blood of a Saviour. Far beyond the stars and clouds of heaven, is the golden city of that soul--a calm and blissful region of unseen glories. ‘Towards that heavenly Sion it is daily guided by the hand of Ged. It shall know no rest, until it rests in the bosom of its Saviour on that bright, eternal day which will dawn upon it when its mortal career is over. Then it will enter upon that life of never-ending, inefiable bliss, which God Himself lives. Such are the grand prespects of a redeemed soul. Bat the ;
