EXTRACTS FROM THE DIARY OF A
PHYSICIAN


July 20th.-Called to visit lady laboring
under dropsica affection. Here is another
victim Of Intemperance. Like the monster
Death, intemperance often selects the fairest
and most lovely Of our fellows. Twas thus in
this case. Mrs. B, an English lady, was
one of the most accomplished Of women. Gift
ed with superior intellect, highly cultivated,
and refined by the choicest associations, she
became the "Sar" Of the circle in which she
moved. But, unfortunately, the dangerous prac-
tce of swine at dinner" was the custom at her
fathers house. This appetite was here con-
tracted, which proved her ruin. She married,
and for time was happy. But the demon had
fastened his foils around her, and there he soon
revelled to his content
They moved to America, her husband fondy
hoping that change Of association might break
the tyrant's hold. Not so. Here too, the means
of gratifying the unholy desire for Rum, were
ample, and soon, very soon, disease came, as the
legitimate effect Of frequent dissipation. Her

ed with the intelligence of her death. had
forbidden all stimulants during my attendance.
But she could not control her appetite for the
accursed stuff, and resorted to acts of deception
to procure it. She succeeded in inducing her
son to go for a pint of whskey for the purpose
Of dissolving camphor. When it was brought
with the camphor dissolved, she eagerly grasp.
ed the bottle and swallowed the whole contents,
which produced death in short time. Thus
perished one of the fairest of the daughters of
earth, prey to the curse Of our nation.
This is no uncommon case. Hundreds of
others, similar in all respects, have occurred,
and now exist. The cry of the orphan and the
widow, and the tears of the mother, have no
effect, it would seem, upon these who deal out
this poison that is consuming it's victims daily.
The jingle of the Everlasting Dollar" is
sufficient to drown all the appeals that can be
made in behalf Of distressed humanity. There
is no flesh in grog. sellers heart it does not
feel for man.

The DRUNKARD's WIFE,-None but those
who have passed through the sad ordeal, know
the sufferings of one who is fastened by lndis-
soluble bonds to the miserable drunkard one
whose wrongs, whose patient suferings, con-
tinually ascend on the evening breeze to the
throne of God whose active and inextinguish-
able affection is ever watching over one who
requires it all by hard-hearted neglect and
abuse. Faith and hope are the jewels that
gisten in her soul; and they shine in the midst
of sorrow and gloom, as stars in dark stormy
night. Once Joy and brightness filled her lot; +;
but now, lonely vrgils, heart struggles, broken
hopes, the wreck of all that is lovely, and her
life cloudy vision. A trusting heart has been
broken, and the conviction comes, and that
heart once the home of bliss, must be the grave
of sorrow, where lies buried the wreck of her
dearest hope. Too often the heart that loves
must bleed but whose heart suffers as does
the drunkard's wife!

LOOKING TOWARDS THE FUTURE-It is as
tonishing to see with what pecuisrity of feel
ing man regards his last resting place. He who
has been content to live in poverty in garrett
if dying seeks for mausoleum of marble, to the
erection of which the parsimonious savings OF
years are to furnish the means. He who has
passed all his life in obscurity, desires pos
thumous immortality. Thus says the Partisan
correspondent OF the Newark Advertiser: "a
poor epicier, who lived in retired street in
Paris, unknowing and unknown, caused to be
erected for himself in Pere la Chase, marble
monument upon which is placed his portrait,
painted upon canvass, and protected from. the
winds and rains by bell glass. Others have
busts in plaster of Paris, some painted; and
these may be found in different states of decay
in all parts of the grounds. Others who wish
TO live longer in the eyes of the world have
them in bronze and marble of all kinds"
1t is strange idea of living after death, which
suggests these individual tributes to self, and
they all seem more strangely directed towards
the world here, than the world hereafter-or,
to that resting place on high, with regard 10
which the soul, that superior part of man, can
alone acquire immortality.

THE BETTER WAY.-The sons of the poor

What encouragement to toll through life, ac.

dustry and study, and let them take care OF
themselves.
