finds happiness in reading, will not seek it in
the grog shop.
If town societies and individuals would take
some pains, every reformed drunkard in indi-
gent circumstances, could be furnished with
proper books and pamphlets for his leisure
hours, and by circulating them from one fami-
to another few books would serve whole
neighborhood. Our readers may rely upon it
that this suggestion is worthy their considera-
ton. Man was not made to be idle. What
are the moral tendencies of idleness upon
rich man? Every body knows that they are
bad Can they be otherwise upon the unfor-
tunate? Idleness is another name for dissipa-
ton. Get the reformed man suitable books.
He will read them. He will think and talk
the principles which they discuss. Day by
day his power to resist the great enemy of his
peace will be increased. Try the expert
ment.-W -Washimgtonian and Banner.

TIME TO QU1T.-A soaker in neighbor-
ing village, had been on hard spree. Next
morning he wanted to taper off, but the query
was, how to get the critter. His jug was
empty, his pockets ditto, and the tavern keep
er wouldn't trust. Casting his eyes round, he
spied his wife's pocket bible, which he slyly
slipt into his own pocket, and off he went to
the tavern. After coaxing the landlord for
drink in vain, he produced the bible and offer
ed it in security-but it was no go. That's
not yours take it home to your wife, In
vain he begged for one glass, and insisted on
leaving the bible, promising to go TO work
and pay him out of the first money he got.
The publican was inexorable.
Well said he, swhen you won't take
either my word or the Word of God for a
drink, it's high time for me to quit

pledge, and has drank none SINCE Temper

Juvenile Temperance.

We commend the following article from the
Western Reserve Washingtonian, TO those
who doubt the efficacy of Juvenile Tempe
rance We hope that the number of those
who do so is small, and wish it were smaller
still; we can see no good reason why the youth
should not engage in this moral enterprise;
but on the contrary, many, very many, why
they should: C Bring up a child In the way he
should go, and when he is old he will not de-
part from it,'' saith the wise man, which to us
is sufficient for all purposes.
It is to be regretted that any should be found
opposed to temperance efforts among the youth.
We trust the number who do so is small. If
the force of habit among the old has become
so strong, that some excuse must be sought for
indulgence, let the young remain free from
such shackles. 1t is pleasing In every moral
enterprise, to see all classes enlisted for its
support, especially those whose influence can
be most powerfully eXerted, and longest felt.
The wise and sagacious of every age have re-
garded the youthful portion of the community
with peculiar interest. Enlist the man ofhoary
hairs, or the man in the meridian of life, in
moral enterprise; his influence will be felt for
a season, but his course is soon cut short by
death Enlist the energies of the youth in
that ENTERPRISE and you secure an influence that
will 90 on widening and strengthening through
a long series Of years. Remember this in the
temperance enterprise. Let the cooperation
of the young be secured.
1t is gratifying that the grand principle of
reform and safety is seizing upon that portion
of our population. a cold water army is ris
ing up in our land, that will wage success
fui war of determination with alcohol, when
those who now take the fore front of the battle
shall slumber in their graves. An ounce of
prevention is worth pound of cure. 1t is
easier to raise up from the children ofourland,
virtuous, temperate population, than to reclaim
from habits of vice, those already on the stage.
How could the patriot die and leave the direc-
ton of his country to generation of profii-
gate, immoral, and drunken youth. What hope
could he have to cheer his dying hour, that
the liberties he had fought for, the institutions
he had watched with fostering care, would be
preserved and perpetuated? These young de-
tenders of our country, these watchful guardi-
ans of our liberty-train them in virtue, sobn-
ety and temperance, that when they lay their
infirm and expiring fathers in the grave, and
the state with its cumbersome cares is rolled
upon them, and the church commits to their
keeping the precious ark other covenant, they
may be prepared for the responsible trust.
Let our youth become temperate, and the

ADRHADFu1 ScENE.-The Chestertown,

DREADFUL SCENE.-The Chestertown,
Md, News A few days since, the wife
of Mr.. Benson, in Cecil county, was found
dead, lying on the floor, by her husband, on
his awakening from drunken sleep-that
both husband and wife were addicted to in
temperance, and were so reduced in circum-
stances, as to be compelled to live in fish
house on the beach. Benson was once re-
spectacle man. The head and face of the
wife were covered with blood, and there was
evidence of an injury on the head, but wheth-
er from fall or blow, the jury of inquest
could not ascertain, and returned a verdict of
death from an unknown cause. All the infor-
nation the jury could derive was from the
surviving husband, in state of intoxication.
What added to the horror of the scene was the
fact of an infant child endeavoring to extract
nourishment from the breast of its dead mo-
ther, when its father aroused from his stupor.
The northern star and freemen's advocate., 1842-12-08

Imagine case where the self-denia intro
duced here by the apostle for the honor of re-
ligion and the safety of others, would be bind
ing if it is not so in the use Of intoxicating
drinks. When appetite, interest, or incon
venience should stand in our way, could we
not pretend sincerity, and with an India-rub-
Der conscience stretch around any other Cos
pei obligation, to evade this in the application
we have made of it?

Give the Reformed Drunkard something to
Read.

To enable reformed man to stand firmly,
il is necessary that new direction should be
given to his thoughts as well as habits. He
should learn that there are pleasures which he
has never tasted, and that his best happiness is
to be found in the developement Of his affec-
tions and not the qualification ofhis passions.
But he must be taught this not only as an abb
slract idea, but he must have tangible illus
trations of it. He must have something which
he can cling to stronger than appetite. In his
intercourse with the world he must have these
Illustrations pointed out to him, and in his mo-
ments of leisure and retirement, he must have
something to read which presents this simple
truth constantly before his mind. A man who

The Rum.Seller'S Dream.

Wearied by toll and care, sought my couch,
In hopes to rest myself and take repose;
But ere | slept, my meditations ran
Upon schemes to advance my worldly gains:
But this was only adding fuel to
The flame; that base and sordid fame. love Of
Gold, which scathes, and then destroys the no
blest
Feelings of the soul. My heart was wed to
Gain. kdid not ask or care how many
Fell, to rise no more. only sought to
Know my Golfers fill'd If conscience ask'd, or
Said word, turned away, or bid
Him soon depart as some unbidden guest.
Thus, twas late at night, feel asleep, and
In my sleep had a dream! Oh, what
Dream was that. | never shall forget those
Direful scenes saw, and what heard. They
Were beyond the power of mortal man to
Paint, or tongue to tell. Only in part
Can describe, and family shadow forth my
Trembling, dread, and horror at that hour.
Methoughta sound heard, when full before
My view, sublime in pow'r an angel stood
Upon the dark wave, and, too, upon the
Land. Far above him saw him raise his hand.
I heard him swear by the Eternal throne,
That Times last hour had come, when every
Grave did burst Earth's foundation shook; the
Deed broad ocean too, added her countless
hosts
With dread amaze stood transfixed and could
Not flee. All, all around me thronged the
Evidence of my fearful guilt and shame.
On either side were blighted hopes and broken
Hearted wives. There the dreadful ruin /
Had wrought, was written in characters Of
Fire and blood. There, there, | saw the dread

For it seemed on that short night, I'd pass'd
A thousand times ten thousand years in woe;
And onward as those years advanced, a
Thousand fold seemed added to my pain,

Beamed FORTH the vision fied-my life was
