DEAR BENNETT
You ought to pay us a visit al the present moment
TO see the happy effects OF the Temperance humbug
Men who formerly were seen drinking in the day,
stick to the pledge all day, and get drunk at night
only. The total abstinence people have applied to
Judge Earle to make them Speech but he has not
replied as yet. II is rumored that he has the matter
under advsement, as the lawyers say, Cwia puh od-
visare. This came Judge had articles of impeach-
ment preferred against him the last session of the
Legislature, with sundry charges and specifications
OF drunkenness. BY the influence of pure water he
had the matter laid on the table, and was put upon
years probation. The first effect produced by his
total abstinence, was attack of dropsy of the
chest His physician very wisely advised him to 60
back again 10 good brandy, as a medicine, which
advice he follows, and has regained his health
Good brandy is good thing at times.
We arc 10 have a marriage this week, Of high
naval officer, who certainly numbers more than two
score years, with lady of great merit and strong
personal atiractons--lhus
He who has bravcd the battle and the breeze
TO benutys power bows on Bonded knees
The priesthood have leagued together to force all
pastors IN the city 10 JOIN the total abstinence
ceues. few resist az yet, but they must submit
ultimately. The Clergy are grasping at all power,
ana nave maize many persons assume a mask that
Rl becomes them.

Cruser, an agent from Texas, not to get SOL
diers, but setters-not to get money to carry
on war, but To buy PROFESSIONALISM TO get arms To
