FoR THE STAR.
TEMPERANCE. NO. 7. -


Like every other practice which has
many friends, this Of intemI erance, is Oft
IN excused under fair and smooth names.
But its proper name islegion it deserves
not apology, but reprobation. 1t may be
safely affirmed, that in this country, if in
no other, it has proved greater foe to
human life and happiness, than war, pes
thence and famine. How many that
were born with reason has it transform
ed into idiots : now many men of proper
|ty and usefulness, has it turned into con-
temptible drones How many families
has it driven from their dwellings, to the
streets-from affluence to indigence and
woe, and still like an inundation, it rises
it swells around us--it breaks through
all restraints Of authority and dccency.
1t sweeps away our young men to iniamy
and the grave. 1t defcs our laws-it
threatens wide and dire destruction to our
morals and to our precious and venerable
institutions. Probably this sin does not
prevail more among us, than in other pla-
es; certainly less than in many towns.
But it prevails every where to a degree
that is certainly alarming. Many there
are, who embrace the sin from its first be-
ginings to downright sottishness. There
are some whose fondness for strong drink,
is kept under such exact restraints as
scarcely to be perceived even by their in
innate acquaintance. Occasionally, the
appetite is indulged, but with so much
caution, and under the veil of peculiar cir
cumstances, that perhaps for years, no in
jury is sustained in themselvcs--no sus-
picion excited in others.
BY degrees, this lurking propensity
grows in strength. The man rises up
early, that he may 60 to his bottle. This
takes rank of every other object. In his
wakeing thoughts, for season, he is sat-
isfed perhaps, with morning dram; un-
suspecting of danger his relish increases
by indulgence, till he is completely given
up to follow strong drink. With slow,
but steady progress, the habit becomes
inwrought into the constitution The man
reels in the streets callous to shame &
remorse-looses the use ofhis limbs, his
tongue, his reason. In short, he is ruin
ed in health, estate, character, body and
soul Some fall under the influence Of
strong drink, by using it as a medicine,
to remove some pain Of the stomach, Cor io
restore exhausted strength. This is their
apology for the first stages of intempcr-
ance. And / have know many, both men
and women, of excellent characters and
principles, who have been betrayed by oc-
casional dozes of gin or brandy, to cure
the cholic. Allow me to enumerate few
of the diseases which are occasioned by ar
dent spirits, such as, decay of appetite,
sickness at the stomach, distractions Of
the liver, dropsy, hoarseness, and husky
cough, which often terminates in cOnsump
ton, redness and eruptions in different
parts eff the body.

TO THE FREEMEN OF RHODE
ISLAND.

On WEDNESDAY NEXT, the i'm
porant and responsible duty of electing a
Governor and Senate, will devolve on the
{; ;eemen of Rhode Island and in order
tha they may act so as to promote the
interests of the State, generally, and pre-
serve its honor, unsullied, it will perhaps
he well to examine the qualifications OF
the gentlemen, who are candidates tor
their suilrages.
His Excellency Gov Fenner, has long
filed the gubernatorial char, and IN all
this time, his friends, who are exerting
themselves to secure his continuation IN
Office, are unable to find one prominent
notion. wherein the welfare of the State
has been particularly consulted. Anoth-
er objection-an of itself sufficient to cor
demn him in Rhode Islands that he Is
an advocate for the proscriptive and prot.
ligate policy of the present general admin
;stration. And further-Gov. Fenner's
course in politics has been so vaccillating
that those who know him best, and have
observed him most closely, are convinc-
ed, that his principles arc aristocratic land
that the grand object of all his political
movements, is to advance his family inn
portance I!
This gentleman stands before tho free
men of Rhode Island, soliciting theil
votes. Those who approve ofthc course
of General Jackson and desire to see tho
many subjected to the few--thosc who
wish to sec their State renegade in The
Union and its citizens .jairly race o
what John Randolph calls "white slaves
all these will probably vote for james
Fenner, and the Senate which now is.
DIR. ASA MESSER, will contest th'
election with Gov. Fenner ; and that will
be proud day for Rhode Island, whicl
shall find him elected over the present in
cumbent We arc aware that the oppo
sition against him is violent. But we ar
happy to know that it is limited to thos
only, who opposed our present RePresen
tatiyes in Congress, with such unblushin'
malice and falsehood last autumn. Thi
one fact-and it is facts enough t
silence all objections which they hav
laid before the public against DIR. Messer
Should any thing further, however, be re
CURED, the trifling nature of all WI ch ]
urged in opposition to DIR. Messer, onl
makes it requisite to know in order to col
denim.
DIR. Messer is accused Of milking hi
cows, and afterwards to heighten the Of
fence, of selling the milk-th's Is ON
crime.

site to which il inclined, aud, persever-

days, the quadruped pilot saved herself
and the child to the great wonder of all.

deIPma, is most o. Rdisary animal, aud
attracts crowds to sec it, Recent illus,ra.
tons of Natural History, published in London
afford the following
The species is not numerous, and is much
loss difused than the elephant. The single
norm of this animal marks its species The
under lip is like that of an or, but tho upper
more like that of horse ; and the Rhinoce-
,os uses II az that creature does, Ca gather up
nay from the rack or grass from the ground /;
but with this superior ADVANTAGE. thai he has
the power OF extending the lip to six or Sc
Won inches in length from the nose, and it is
so pila6ie that he can move it from side to
sice, grasp stick with it, or any small sub.
stance, and hold it extremely fast Tho skin
Is almost impenetrabo insomuch that it will
turn or break the edge of scimitar, and re.
Ilst musket ball--between the folds tho skin
III penetrahlo, as soft TO the touch as silk, and
OF light flesh color.
ms animal has four cutting teeth, one in
each corner OF the jaw, and six grinders in
eacn, tae hrst remote from the cutting teeth
without being carHiverous, or even extreme.
iy wild, tho Rhinoceros is quite un,ractable.
1t Is said that which Emanuel, King of
PORTUGAL sent to the Pope in the year 1913,
destroyed the vessel in which they were
transporting 1t, and il is said that the tiper
VII! rather attack the elephant than the rhi-
noceros.-Ho is dull of sight, but has most
exquisite scent. From the peculiar construc-
lon OF their eyes, he can only see what is
immediately before him consequently, when
he Pursues any objcc, he usually proceeds in
direct line, overturning every obstruction
his sense OF hearing is as acute as his smell
Inc female produces but one at time, at
considerable intervals and is very solicitous
about her young. The flesh Of this animal
is eaten and considered excellent food by the
natives OF India and Africa, and in tho former
country, the skin, hoofs, teeth aud dung are
used medicinaiiy.-The horns are quite in re
pute as an antidote against poison. The rhi
hoceros Is the unicorn Of scripture, and pos
sosses all the properties ascribed to the ami
as,-rage, untamcableness, great swiflness,
and immense strength.
