The antique regal chair, having (together with the golden sceptre and crown of Scotland) been solemnly offered by King Edâ€" ward I. to St. Edward the Confessor, in the year 1297 (from whence it derâ€" ives the appelation of St. Edward‘s chair), has ever since been kept in the chapel called by his name ; with a tablet affixed to it, whereon several Latin verses are written, in the old English character. The ornaments of this chair consist of crockets and fretâ€" work, richly guilt. It has a cushion, covered with the same materials.

Mrs. Edward Burnet, of Durham, paid a flying yisit to her sister, Mrs. Burnet here. 4a Dufferin County official was around here serving subpoenas for witnesses against the Melancthon fire bugs whose trial is coming off in Orangeville this week. Bailiff Carson, of Durham, drove through here, The weather has been that wet the last week that some of our farmers here had to quit working as the ground was so wet thay could not work it. Mrs, J.

Also tree planting has begun here, Therefore, whoever drinks wine, howâ€" eyer moderately, and whoever offers it to others however suitable may be the occasion, is committing a great sin. He tempts those whom we are told not to tempt ; about whom it is said, * Woe to him \’vho shall tempt one of these little ones. Drunkards become drunkards only beâ€" cause sober men, by doing themselves uo harm, haye taught them to drink, have tempted them by their example. Drunkards would never be drunknn}; if they did not see respectable, honored people drink wine and offer it to others. A young man, who has never drunk wine, learns its taste and effects at a wedding feast at the house of one of those respectable temperate men, who drink um} offer wine on special occasions. * When you were ignorant you comit-} ted no sin,‘ said Christ. But now we know what we are doing, and whoin we serve by drinking wine and offering it to j others, and therefore, if we, knowing the sin of using it, continue to dlink’ and to offer it, there is no justification for us. | But one cannot say in these days that drinking wine or abstaining from it is a priyate matter ; that we do not think a moderate use of wine hurtful ; that we wish neither to teach nor to be taught ; nor that the custom did not begin with us, and will not end with us. This canâ€" not be said now. The use of wine or abstinence from it is no longer a private, but social matter. The defenders of wine, vodka, and beer, used formerly to assert that these drinks promote health and strengtb, that they warm and cheer. _ But this is now indisputably shown to be untrue. Intoxicants do not increase bealth, beâ€" cause Lhegv contain a strong poisonâ€"alâ€" cohol, and the use of poison cannot be beneficial. *The most horrible result is the darkâ€" ening of the mind and conscience, The use of wine renders men coarse, dull and spiteful.‘ . What, then, are the use of consuming intoxicating liquors? None. Extensiye tracts of our best landâ€"land on which millions of now poverty â€"strickâ€" ed families might subsistâ€"are given to the culitiyation of tobacco, grapes, bar. ley, hops, rye, and potatoes, for use in the preparation of intoxicating liquors â€"wine, beer and vodka,. â€" Millions of men who might be employed in manuâ€" facturing articles useful to mankind are occupied in making wine and spirits, Sir Richard Cartwright promised the plebiscite measure would give satâ€" isfaction to moderate and reasonable men on all sides |\â€" He dwelt chiefly on the loss of revâ€" enue resulting which will amount to $10.000 OUO and pointed out that $2 a head would be required from every man, woman, and child in the Domâ€" inion to make up the loss. Mr. Laurier said the government were bound to have an honest expression of opinion. It was a difficult question, but it was the business of the government to settle difficulties He could onlg see one way to make up the ‘loss of revâ€" enue and that was by direct taxation, and this, he believed prohibitionists were prepared for. He was not preâ€" pared to say the %lgstion of compenâ€" sation should be submitted to the peoâ€" ple, but if the declaâ€"ation tor prohibiâ€" tion was unmistakeably the popular will, the government‘s duty was to stand by the will of the people. those who will be affected by the inâ€" troduction of prohibition.
