Noah when drunk placed himself in a position to be mocked by his son. That is he case to-day; the drunkard is ridiculed by his own obildien. Mr Davies. gave the tradition relative to Noah's vineyard He said that many people came to see the first planted vineyard, and among them the devil, with four animals—the lamb, lion, monkey, pig—and sacrificed them to the vine, hence the differ rent effects of wine upon man. It first quietens him like the lamb, then rouses him like the lion, after- wards mischievous like the monkey, atid, lastly, he wallows in tne mire like the sow. The object of the Band of Hope is to teach the children to avoid all this. The motto of the Band of Hope is Avoid it, pass riot by it, turn from it and pass away." Miss Jenny S'ephcns accompanied on the barmoniuw. Votes of thanks to the chairman brought the meet jug to a close. LLAWRYGLYN.
