Soon after the present great Temper
ance reformation began, / was urgently
requested to go to place about 30 miles
distant, and address the people on this
subject. The subject was then new, ,and
public sentiment was very different from
what it now is. 1t was bitter cold and
stormy day, and at times it seemed as il
i must freeze before reaching the place.
Just in the edge Of the town stopped
at a public house to warm. Presently a
young man came in, and with good de-
gree Of self-importance, seated himself
before the fire, and began to whistle a
common bar-room tune.
"Where to dayi" said the landlord.
"T am going up to hear what Mr.. -
has to gable on the subject of temper
ance. l suppose your decaDters there
will keep full at least for fortnight al
ter this!-hey-landlord!"
"Oh! not will not alter NY custom a
hair. like the plan fbeing temperate,
but such folks always carry things too
far"
"Yes-it's all nonsense. Thousands
get their living by raising grain, others
by dis,illIng it, others by leaning it, and
others again by selling it. To stop the
whole business would at once take bread
from a thousand mouths IN this state a
lone"
"That's true," replied the landlord,
"but it might put it into some that now
have little or none. But you and have
good reasons for what we do"
now turned to the young man-"Sir,
! presume you sell OF deal in ardent spir-
it's"

"And you make profit on i'll"
"Of course, some, though il is small. !"

ments of the natural world The geor.

faded, and every breeze that rustles
through its branches, bears away some
portion of its decaying foliage. The

our feet, and seemed to clothe the earth's
wide countenance in smiles, but family
shows the freshness of its pristine hue
The green hills which so agreeably diver
siiy the scenes Of nature, and lent such
enchantment to the landscape Of summer.
when robed in its rich and varied YER

aspect, save only when the mellow sun
light which is so peculiar to the autumn
OF the year, mantles them in its hazy in
distnctness. And now the plaintive
winds Of autumn sigh through the NIGH
ty Eolian harps Of the forest, awaking a
wild and mournful music, which sounds
the requiem Of the passing year.
In the material world, how much is
there emblematic of human life. Spring
is youth-Summer is manhood-Autumn
is old age-and Winter is the grave
Are not the crumbling ruin, the decaying
tree, the falling leaf, and the faded flow
er, all emblems Of that ceaseless muta-
ton, that constant change from bloom to
blight, which man so surely finds in his
own destiny3 And are not these thus
ever forcibly presented to his view, to
teach him his own. certain and coming
doom! Yet he too often suffers all these
admonitions to pass him unregarded, and
iorgets to provide for the winter life as
he does for the winter Of the year.
In tracing this similitude of the sea-
pns to the different phases of human
existence, the moral to be learned, is

The cost Of Mtemperance.-By late of:
fetal returns it appears that the amount
oftaxable property in the Commonwe alth

cording to the census of 1890, was 6lO,-

consequently, supposing the average of
property to be the same throughout the
Union in proportion to the population as
in Massachusetts, it would amount to a
fraction (too small to be Of any impor-
tance in the calculation>ovcrS4, ,402, l97,-
$40. A tax Of three per cent. on this
sum would amount annually to l32, ,O65,-
935 35, which may fairly be reckoned as
the cost of intemperance to this country,
some estimates having placed it as
high as $l44 100000, and some as low
as $I20,O0O,00O. AT compound interest
capital yielding three per cent, will
double its value every "a years: so that,
unless the ravages of intemperance are
checked, wealth will be destroyed dur
ing the next "a years, TO an amount equal

| CHANGES IN SOCIETY. / look forward a
few short years, and see the aspect Of So
cicty entirely changed. The venerable
fathers, who have borne the heat and
burden Of the day, are dropping one af-
ter another into the grave, and soon they
will be gone. OF those too, who are
now the acting members Of society, some
have passed the meridian Of life, others
are passing it, and all will soon be going
down in its decline, to mingle with the
generations who have disappeared be-
fore them, from this transitory scene of
action. To a mind, seriously contcm-
plating this mournful fact, it is an inquiry
Of deep and tender interest who are to
rise up and fill their places? To whom
are to be committed the invaluable inter-
ests Of this community Who are to
sustain its responsibilities, and to dis
charge its duties? You anticipate the
answer. 1t is to you young men, that
these interests are to be committed and
these responsibilities transferred--you
are fast advancing to fill the places of
those, who are fast retiring to give place
to new generation. You are soon to
occupy the houses, and own the property
and fill the Offices and possess the pow
.er, and direct the influence that are now
in other hands. The various depart
ments ofbusiness and trust, the pulpit and
bar, our courts of justice and halls of le-
gisation; our civil, religious, and literary
institutions; all, in short, that constitutes
society, and goes to make life useful and
happy, are to be in your hands, and un-
der your control.
This representation is not made to ex-
cite your vanity, but to impress you with
a due sense of your obligations. You
cannot take a rational view of the sta
tons to which you are advancing, or of
the duties that are coming upon you,
without feeling, deeply, your need of
high and peculiar qualifications. In
committing to you her interests and priv
ileges, society imposes on you correspon-
ding claims; and demands that you be
to fill, with honor and useful
ness, the places which you are destined
to occupy. She looks to you for future
protection and support, and while she o.
pens her arms TO welcome you TO her high
and hopes, she requires Of
you the cultivation Of those virtues, and
The attainment Of those qualifications,
which can alone prepare you for the
duties and scenes OF future life.

"In looking, listening, on the scattered leaves,
"When autumn winds are at their evening song,
He considers their seeming destruc-
tion-as the ever-recurring promise and
semblance Of that nletastasis which
awaits himself when he shall be ready
for the change, and he cannot murmur
or rcpinc. Far different must he the
sensations of him who bows down to that
false philosophy which looks no higher
than this world. The desolation now
overspreading the surface ofthe vegeta-
BILE creation, must seem to him but Bit
ter mockery Of his own transitory exis-
fence, and plunge him in gloomy doubt,
or hopeless despair.
The "Indian SUMNER" so short and
so delightful is at hand, and no season of
the year is so favorable for manly sports

and brightens the bloom upon every
cheek.

in plenty. He is willing to apply his
hlrly strength to the tillage of the earth,
and to exercise industry temperance, ,and
frugality, in the requirement Of a com
petence which shall reward
"a life Of labour with an age Of ease"

The Deceituiness Of The World.-The
following extract from the oration deliv.
cred by Mr.. Berrien, Attorney General
Of the United States, before the literary
society of Princeton College, furnishes
appropriate reflections for the young,
generally.
"My young Brothers The world on
which you are entering, in all the ardor
of hope, in all the purity Of uncorrupted
feeling, is arrayed in charms which il
borrows from fancy, and which will va
nish at your approach. The pleasures
with which it allures the unwary, is brief
and evanescent, as the breath of the
morning. II floats gaily on the advance
ing tide, but vanishes with the flood
and sadness mingles with its ebbiDg wa
ters.
Content-tbc emblem Of its gentle flow
II swells in bss-nnd then-its waters part,
To seek their ocean home-all else is woe.
You will be too surely called to exert
the courage which can encounter dan
ger with calmness; and the fortitude
which endures & triumphs over calamity.
But on this side of the grave, the beouii-
ful vision which now dazzles your mex
porienccd eyes, will forever elude your
grasp. Human lilo is but step in the

some strong hold in the country to fee
TO. Relations Of every grade, on such
an occasion, assume their just value; and
many of those, who, few weeks ago
were considered below par, have latterly
been thought worthy ofa premium. The
humblest forty-fifth cousin, who is bles-
sed with little house-room and a spare
bed, in the country, is now by no means
TO be sneezed at.
Those country relations, who were for.
merly stunned and disowned on account
Of their rustcity, are now acknowledge
and embraced with the most remark able
cordiality. Formerly, if they had been
met in the streets of the city, they would
not have been known: their more polish
ed relations would have turned away,
and blushed to recognize them. Oh, the
frights! they would have exclaimed-it's
enough to give one the horrors to look at
them, much more to be claimed as rela-
tions.
One Of the kings of France, whose
pampered taste could scarcely be satisf-
ed, at Versailles, with the richest dain-
ties, ate raw turnips with great relish, at
a peasants cottage, when nearly starved
in the chase. So our delicate cts, when
frightened from their property by the
cholera, flee 10 the country, and own with
immense cordiality, the blessings Of a
rustic lile.-Constellation.

Der of the Indiana Legislature. on a bill
to encourage the killing ofwolves, which
in sublimity has seldom been surpassed
"Mr. Speokcr:-The wolf Is the most
ferocious animal that prowls in the west
ern prairies, or runs at large in the forests
Of Indiana. He creeps from his lurking
place at the hour of midnight, when all
nature is locked in the silent embrace of
Morpheus, and ere the portals of the east
are unbared, nor bright Phebus rises in
all his golden majesty, whole litters of
pigs are destroyed"
