ARTsTocRAcY.

This charge has been hurled against ev- cry party that ever agitated the bosom of America. Every man, however honest ,pure and elevated, however superior to all sell fish aggrandisement, has been slatidered as an Aristocrat. Washington was not secure from that wordy warfare. That great man, the Father of his Country, was an Aristocrat, if we believe his slanderers.- Perhaps he displayed his aristocracy in the battle field, surrounded with thousands of soldiers, whose eyes watched his and learn ed from lis powerful example, and strug- gled manfully against the assaults of fam inc and ferocious enemies, whose vengeance a voyage of three thousand miles could not extinguish.. The term of aristocrat has been applied to other men with as much candor, justice and propriety.
 But the strongest test of aristocracy is discovered in its hidsous features in our own times. A party gets possession of the National Government, and scatters bounti- fully every office, every emolument and honor, on the friends of that government alone. Not living being, no mortal per- son is honored with national courtesy till the brand of Government is exhibited in his countenance. No man is honest; but by favor of Government no man irreA proachable, no man trustworthy, who is charged with hostility to this empire. If a man oppose the orders, the principles of this all sweeping vortex, price is set, not on his head, but his heart. And until con- verted by this universal political spirit, and made one flesh with the mighty. ruler, against him every heart is closed with bolts and hardened with prejudice. And why :? because man will not dig out his own eyes and see with his neighbor's.

Or all the pursuits of life, none more certainly insures comfort and respectabili- ty than that of a mechanic. The farmer may lose his crops by unfavorable seasons the merchant is subject to innumerable vi- cissitudes and the professional man is of ten compelled to struggle for years, unno- ticed and unrewarded. But the man who understands useful trade, if blessed with health, need never want food, or clothing, or shelter, provided he be industrious and prudent. So well have the Jews under- stood this, that every Jew, whatever his rank, has in all ages been required to learn some some useful trade.
 Why is it, then, that so many skilful men of this class have never more than the bare necessaries of life their families scantily supplied with food noahing laid up against a sick uay aud "I'cn ueatl' comes, perhaps wife and children left destitute and helpless The simple rea- son, in nine cases out of ten, is this : they indulge in the useless, OerniciOMs, sCGsting, destroying practice of drinking spirits l-- Useless, as is proved by the testimony of medical men, and all who abstain from it ]; pernicious, from its invariable effects on the health. disposition, and morals casting, for it leads most generally to poverty and want destroying, for responsibility, pro- perty, body and soul, fall sacrifice before
 Total abstinence from strong drink is l the best insurance against the worlds ills, that has yet been discovered. The strictly temperate man has clear head, steady hand, good appetite; his temper is under his control he saves time 1; he saves mo- ney; he is respectable, whatever be his station in society. But the man who drinks but e little is in the high road to ruin. Of the vast multitudes of our race who have lived the druEkard's life, and filled; the d-unkard's grave, and entered upon the drunkard's eternity, the beginning of their downward course was drinking e little.
 The saving of the money usually expen- ded for spirits, without estimating any other advantages that arise from total ab- stinence, will, in few years, produce a handsome competency. Should a mechan- ic read this, who is 40 years of age, and who has expended 12 1-2s cents day for spirits, who is feeling the bitterness of poverty. by saving this sum. he might, since he was 21 years of age, have accumulated about 1000 dollars-if he is over 50 years of age, 1,5OO-6O years of age, 2oOO dol- lars--and 25 cents day would produce twice the above amounts.
 Is there mechanic who finds it difficult to provide food and raiment, and other comforts of life for his family, but who is in the daily practice of expending 12 Ia cents day for spiritss This small sum of l2 1-2 cents day will, in one year, purchase lhe following necsssaries of life l: !
