Morning Star

We had a good opportunity the other day of gaining a correct practical answer to this question. On attending a Temperance meeting in the town of N--d, (Me.,) where the cause has greatly prevailed, we were informed on arriving at the place of the meeting, that in another neighborhood, a man was likely to fail in raising a building that afternoon for want of help--that he had been round and invited his neighbors, (if such they may be called,) only four of whom could be obtained, because he had come to the resolution to dispense wholly with ardent spirit.

This information was a bold challenge on the generous feelings of cold-water men who had come out to hear a Temperance address. They immediately bid up for volunteers, and as soon as the meeting was over, which was the more brief on that account, all hands started off with the minister of the parish in their company to aid their fellow townsman.

We since have learnt that the building soon went up on the arrival of these temperance volunteers, and that all hands were dismissed before sunset. Every thing was quiet and orderly. What will the friends of the "good creature" say to this? Who were neighbors in this case? Not rum-drinkers certainly, but those who shewed favor.
