CYMRO, CYMRU, a CHYMRAEG. CEFN A'R CYMYDOGAETHAU. TRWYDDED TAFARN Y CEFFYL. DU." Dywedir fod yr hen Geffyl Du wedi bod yn redwr cyfiym a chryf, ac wedi cludo llawer o deithwyr ar y ffordd y mae ef a'i gyffelyb yn arferol a cludo; ac wedi bod yn dwyn elw go helaeth i'w berchen- ogion. Ond y mae dull pethau wedi newid yn y lie. ac y mae yr hen Geffyl Du wedi naca teithio, meddir, er's blynyddoedd, fel ag i droi dim elw o werth i neb ei gadw a thalu am ei bedolau. Y mae wedi bod yn "Sefyll" er's pedwar mis am yr rheswm a enwyd, ebre Dhw. A gwyr pawb fod pob ceffyl yn ddiwerth 08 na thai am ei gadw. Ond meddyliodd rbyw farmwr y buasai ef yn gallu ail godi hwyl, a bu gyda'r ynadon yn gofyn am drwydded i geisio LLHOI BYWYD XEWYDD yn yr hen Geffyl Du, eithr gwrthodasant hwy. Fel y crybwyllwyd dro yn ol, dyweddodd un o'r ynadon —" Os oedd yr ardal wedi gallu gwneyd cyhyd o amser heb wasanaeth y Ceffyl Du, y gellid gwneyd hefyd yn y dyfodol hebddo," ac fod gormod o dafarndai yn y Cefn drachefn. Onid oedd hyny yn rheswm digonol dros i'r ynadon atal trwydded ar y ty hwnw ? Gan mai DEUDDEG MIS YW OES TRWYDDED, onid oes gan ynadon ar ben y deuddeg mis hawl gyfreithlawn i atal adnewyddu neu drosglwyddo trwydded unrhyw dy os barnant hyny yn oreu ? Ond, er iddynt wrthod i'r hwn a geisiai drwydded yn y cyfarfyddiad y cyfeiriwyd ato eisioes, gyda rhesymau digonol, ceisiodd Mr. Wynn Evans ganddynt ganiatau trwydded i un arall, ar yr un ty, mewn cyfarfyddiad dydd Gwener, Medi 28ain. Dywedai y llywydd wrtho eu bod wedi pasio penderfyniad i beidio caniatau trosglwyddiad trwydded ar y cyfryw dy i neb; a chan na chaniatau yr ynadon drwydded i'r un a geisiai o'r newydd, ceisiodd Mr. Wynn Evans ganddynt adnewyddu y drwydded i'r TENANT CYNTEFIG, gan geisio dangos nad oedd yr ynadon wedi gweith- redu yn y drefn briodol yn y gorphenol fel i'w galluogi i wrthod trwydded yn y dull y ceisient wneyd hyny yn bresenol. Y mae mewn cysylltiad a'r achos hwn rai pethau yn ymddangos yn CHWITHIG 0 RYFEDD. Yn gyntaf, fod dynion call yn ceisio trwydded ac awdurdod i geisio gyru yr hen Geffyl Da ar ol i rai eraill fethu. er cael amser i wneyd prawf digonol. Yn ail, fod un, o leiaf, yn ceisio hyny, ag yntau wedi byw yn yr ardal ddigon o hyd i wybod nad oes neb wedi gwneyd llawer o elw yn y tafarndai sydd yn y pen hwnw o'r ardal ar ol i'r cyfnewidiadau pwysig fod yn ngwaith y Cae Glo a'r Acrfair. Yn drydydd, fod dynion deallus. ac obarch adylanwad, yn cefnogi trwyddedll ty felly, sef drwy gymerad wyo dynion i gael trwydded am eu bod yn meddu ar gymeriadteilwngigadwtafarn. Ynbedwerydd, fod neb yn barod i ysgrifenu cymeradwyaeth i ddynion o gymeriad i fyned i le o safle beryglus i golli eu cymeriad, a'u helw hefyd. Yn burned, fod yr hen denant eisieu adnewyddu y drwydded ar ol pedwar mis o etreic am fod yr hen Geffyl Du yn methu myn'd yn mlaen yn ddigon cyfiym i droi elw gwerth ei gadw. Yn chweched, fod y Gwyn mor daer am drwydded i roi gwaith i'r du. Yn wythfed, fod yr hen denant yn barod i roi tenant newydd yn y ty. A ydyw ef yn meddwl fod arall yn well nag ef ei hun am yru'r Ceffyl Du ? Dywedir fod TAI-DDALWYR Y LLE o'r un farn a'r ynadon, sef fod yno ddigon, a gormod, o dafarndai yn y lie, a chan hyny nad oes eisieu caniatau trwydded i neb ar y ty hwnw yn y dyfodol. Ac fod yn resun i neb arwain ei hun na chymeryd ei arwain, i'w golled ei hun, a niwaid eraill. Gan hyny, bydd iddynt roi eu llais.o blaid yr ynadon pan y daw yr achos i sylw nesaf. Y mae amryw ddynion yn gweitkio wrth YSGOLDY Y GARTH, ac y mae swn morthwylion, eynion a thriwelion yn dweyd fod yr adeiladwaith yn myn'd yn mlaen yn rhwydd, ar ol yr hir oediad.. A gall plant yr ysgol gana mewn gobaith Ilaiven- Mae gobaith am orpheniad, Er fod y gwaith yn fawr, Os gwneir e'n ddigon cadarn Rhag ewympo eto i lawr.

♦— CHARACTER AND EMPLOYMENT, [BY A LOCAL SCKIBE.J L i One may think, by hearing people speaking, and appropriating an uniform charactor to the different callings, that the elements of character are in the employments, and not in the persons employed. Is it a fact that callings stamp their images on those that follow them, so as to produce a similitude between man and man occupied in the same trade ? We will take a short view of some of the callings. FARMERS. The words honest, simple, and unassuming are always connected with farmers. John Ploughman is considered very plain and upright, but go to him in the market-place, and try to sell him anything How cunningly he presses you to draw the price down. by blaming the goods or animals, as the case may be, and after turning aside how masterly he praises the bargain Or try to buy of him, and you will see how he will sell the refuse of his stock, how he will mix his butter in the tub, the tricks he will play to colour his cheese and to show that the cow is an excellent one for giving milk. Very likely you will change your opinion of him before arriving home. BUTCHERS. It is a common notion that butchers are cruel, and are not allowed to sit as jurors when life is in the question. But is it a factWe know many butchers as harmless and kind as the little lambs they are bleeding. MERCHANTS. We often speak of merchants as being a very important and wealthy class of people. And so they generally are, yet many a one who was con- sidered very wealthy has died almost penniless, having been generous to a degree and lavished their money on benevolent institutions. And is it not a fact that the best men to humanity are those who contrive to make the best of their riches during their lifetime, by bestowing due shares on public charities, such as cottage hospitals, orphanages, in- firmaries, libraries, ka., and thus by their benevo- lence ameliorating the sufferings and enlightening the minds of their fellow creatures? LITERARY MEN. We speak of great writers, especially poets; as being often confused to a certain extent, and we unconsciously link poverty and despondency with them, although they are considered the chief orna- ments of a nation. Somehow or other we often smile at their weakness, and while boasting of the learned men of byergone days, we make fun of the great scholars of our own time. Who thinks of respecting a poet until he is hidden in his grave ? Some of his works will be worshipped after he is gone, but while he is alive and able to appreciate a favour they are trodden under foot. Thousands had been feasting on the -1 Iliad," not thinking that Homer was begging his bread when composing it! We look on the works of Goronwy Owen as inspired poems, and yet the gifted bard was left to starve in the land of plenty. It was similar with Ieuan Prydydd Hir, Robert Burns, and Chatterton. Some might ask why literary men are poor. The only answer is that their contemporaries failed to appre- ciate their productions. Thus it is often with the sons of inventions. But inventions as a rule pay sooner than poetical ideas. SOLDIERS. We always connect the words bravery and heroism with a soldier, but we seldom hear of a rich soldier." To say a man is a soldier is equivalent in common parlance to declaring him a valiant. But there are many soldiers who are so destitude of courage as a sparrow on the house top. 'Tis within the shade of a hoast, or within the sound of a drum, that they are heroic. SAILORS. We speak of the sailor as one doubled, kind and generous person. The maiden speaks of him as honest Jack," although she would not be surprised to hear of him courting another young girl the other side of the Atlantic. She feels certain that, when Jack comes home, he will, come to see her, and will bring her nice presents, and that he will spend some money before going back. DROVERS. When you speak of drovers and tinkers you feel your hand slipping into your pockets unawares to you, and you also discover yourself making a shoulder or a slope," fearing to be deceived. WEAVERS. As a rule they are very intelligent and enthusiastic, and sometimes they are narrow-minded politicians. They are very fond of reading and debating amongst themselves, and thay are remarkable for being fluent and eloquent. It is not a difficult task to provoke them into a rage, and then, like other individuals, they lose all control of themselves and rush into bitter extremes. The reason, possibly, for this flexibility of humours is their continuous dabble in oil. SHOPKEEPERS, TOY AND SWEETSELLERS, Are very similar to each other. They spend their whole time behind the counter, persuading grown- up people and children to buy their goods. Their language is always soft and smooth as velvet. Very seldom you hear of them offending any one in word or deed. TAILORS. Although it requires "nine tailors to make a man," they are a very intelligent class of people, and. like the weavers and shoemakers, are very fond of arguing on any topic that comes in their way. They are not so unmanageable as the weavers, but are on the whole more refined and lucid. It is a common notion in the country, whether correct or not, that there is a connection between a man's employment and his personal character.

4 It is downright comic to hear a man applying for a licence and handing in a huge list of signatures of people, mostly residents a mile away from the pro- posed new licensed house, saying that those at that distance were most anxious he should have it. In Flint the record of last year shews a public house for every 134 of the inhabitants, or an increase of licensed houses to the population. This being the case, one need not be surprised that the mayor should say if it were in his power he would close a good many of the public houses in Flint. Tobacco is often recommended as a powerfu disinfectant, and a discussion at the meeting of the Toxteth Board of Guardians last week strengthens this view of its protective properties. It was moved that two of the female inmates of Smithdown-road Workhouse should each be allowed an ounce of tobacco a week when sorting clothes, a very disagreeable occupation, and the proposition was carried. A member of the board ironically suggested that permission should be given to the nurses in the hospital to smoke cigarettes.

OUR BOARD SCHOOLS. THEIR ALLEGED IMMORAL AND GODLESS TENDENCIES. In the course of his address at the autumnal session of the Baptist Union, held last week at Newcastle-on-Tyoe, the president (Rev. George Short, B.A.) Faid-It is important to know the exact facts concerning the alleged immoral and godless tendencies of Board Schools. In the I London School Board a syllabus has been drawn up, which is followed by most of the School Boards in Board Schools throughout the country. According to that, arrangements are made for" regular and progressive lessons of the Bible, including the Lord's Prayer, the Ten Commandments, the sacred biographies, histories, facts and lessons from the life of our Lord, the principal parables, the learning by heart passages which inculcate truthfulness, temperance, obedience to parents, reverence for God and His Word." No ground for the charges of immoral and godless tendencies there It is only distinctive and denominational dogmas which are excluded. Of Board Schools now in England and Wales there are between two and three thousand, of which there are ninety-one (seventy in Wales and twenty-one in England) which exclude the Bible. Birmingham alone, of all the great towns in England, requires it to be read without note and comment: but in that case there exists an arrange- ment among Evangelical Churches to supply religious teaching of an undenominational character out of school hours, though in schools themselves. Wales is the great offender. In Wales, the largest towns in which a School Board excludes the Bible consists only of fifteen thousand inhabitants. The other instances are mostly villages, where it is thought religions instruction is provided by Nonconformists, or where the impartiality of the clergy could not be relied on. Ungodly little Wales! where they clamour also for the disestablish- ment of the Church of England, and where they mean to have it too. (Applause.) Brave little Wales where the briskly-blowing breezes which beat round those grand old hills seem vocal of heroic struggle and ardent patriotism characteristic of the people to this hour. (Hear, hear.) Religious little Wales! the birthplace of the British and Foreign Bible Society, a society doing more to diffuse the Bible than all the Church of England societies put together the land, not of spiritual stagnation, but of really productive and lasting revivals, where John Wesley and George Whitfield preached to listening thousands, and where Charles of Bala, Williams of Wern, John Elias. and Christmas Evans lived and laboured, loved and died the land of poetry and fervour and oratory and devotion, where almost every Christian lad aspires to be a minister or missionary, and where its miners know how to die. (Applause.) Oh, little Wales! we do not think so badly of thee after all. Would God! in some respects. England were more like thee. (Hear, hear.) At any rate, if fault there be, let wrangling clerics convert the ratepayers, not abuse the consciences they have. (Hear.) Every man has a right to his conscience, provided it is not exercised to the injury of his neighbour. (Applause.)

0 TEMPERANCE AT CEFN MAWR. INTERESTING SPEECH BY MRS. KIRKHAM JONES. The inaugural meeting of the Temperance Society connected with the Ebenezer English Baptist Church, Cefn, was held on Wednesday evening, September 3rd, when there was a very large attendance of members and friends. The proceed- ings having been opened with singing, Mrs. Kirkham Jones, governess at Acrefair Board Schools, and wfco has been elected lady-president of the society for the ensuing year, amidst applause, said that it gave her extreme pleasure to occupy that position that evening. Nothing gave her greater pleasure than to further the interest of temperance, especially amongst the young. The Ebenezer Temperance Society had now become quite an established society, and the attendances during the last and previous sessions, and the good work accomplished, encouraged her to believe that a similar result would follow their efforts daring the present session. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) In some churches the work in connection with the temperance society is being too often left in the hands of a few, but in those cases, of course, the results were not satisfactory. At Ebenezer, however, she was pleased to think that it had been different, and she sincerely hoped that they would all continue to work with characteristic zeal, and throw their whole energies into the work, and then they could expect great blessings attending their labours, and their society couldn't help but flourish. (Applause.) There was no need for her to explain to them the terrible evil which strong drink did in our land, because it was already too well known. What was the cause of all the poverty and crime in our country ? It was strong drink. She was some- what surprised to think that our Government officials allowed this evil to go on, especially when they know that over 35,000 people died annually from its effects, unless that their only desire was to swell the Exchequer. A few weeks ago, the usual statement, now so well known as the Annual Drink Bill," appeared in the Times from the pen of the Rev. Dr. Burns. The total in 1893 was £ 138,854,829 as against £ 140,866,262 for 1892. Last year there was an increased expenditure on beer of £ 231,287. (Cries of shame.") The expenditure per head on intoxicating liquors was £ 3 12s. 6d., and £ 18 Is. 3d. for every family of five persons. Beer took 4-2 12s. 3d. from each inhabitant of England of Scotland, 19s. 9d.; and of Ireland, 15s. 7d. There were no less than 51,000 breweries in the entire world. Germany easily heads the list with 26,240, which produces every year 4,750 million litres of beer, the litre being equal to If pints, English measure. Next came England with 12,874 breweries and an output of 2,600 million litres; United States, 2,300 breweries; Austria, 1,942: Belgium, 1,270; and France, 1,044. These figures would, therefore, explain why there were so many brewers' carts going through their streets daily, and almost every hour, and it also accounted for the vast amount of drunkenness and crime in their land. (Cheers and cries of •' Shame.") The Local Government Board had been seeking to ascertain the quantity of Fpirits, wines, and malt liquors consumed in the workhouses of England and Wales, and the total la9t year was 120,123 pints of spirits, 54,456 pints of wine, and 456,221 gallons of malt liquors. The cost was £34,332, and the daily average of inmates 176,020. It was to be assumed that all this liquor had been given to the sick. Well, she (the speaker) thought that if the liquor was kept from them there would not be so much of the sickness they talked about, and also they would not require so many workhouses in our land. (Cheers.) In conclusion, she hoped that their society may continue to flourish, and that they should have many of the young that were there that evening growing up with a perfect hatred against that which destroyed both soul and body, and that they should see them taking their stand in the temperance world. (Loud cheers.) The programme was than proceeded with. Excellent recitals were given by Miss Polly Jones, Miss Gertie Thomas, Miss Elizabeth A. Daniels, and Miss Dora Jane Jones readings, Mr. Wm. Davies songs, Mr. George Jones and Mr. G. Owens. The schoolroom was packed to its utmost limit, and the proceedings were of a thoroughly enjoyable character. The secretary is Mr. William Davies treasurer, Mr. Tom Wright. A vote of thanks to the president closed the meeting.
