UNCLE JOHNS HOMEMADE TEMPE
RANCE LECTURES.
LECTURE IL.
Friends of the temperance cause, the subject
OF this lecture is of vast mpoltance--import-
ant to you as well as to your humble speaker:
important to the present generation, and the
unborn generations which will after US appear
upon the arena of life.
The foundation OF my remarks may be found
in the Weekly Fountain" where you will
see, if you look in the right place, " Patent
Sermon" addressed to the senior Editor ofthat
paper, the fifth "head" Of which you will find
TO read thus:
9th. "Up-Ward. This being interpreted
means that you must go up into the high pla-
ces of intoxication and attack the upper circles,
&C." This is very good; but, my hearers, this
is like cutting off limb of treee with the in
lention to hill the tree, which you all know
will not kill it. would add, therefore, 60 'up'
to the cause, to the fountain, from whence ema-
nate these desolating streams which flow into
the "upper circles" and stop cup" the Gre
vices. BY so DOING Mr., Ward will "Ward"
of this devastating element from our "Ward"
and his Ward
My hearers do you not see the importance
OF the effort mentioned in my addition? You
need not put on your ''gold specks' to per-
ceive this for you all know that we can't es-
cape effects unless we destroy their causes.
Why, tad-pole might as well try TO sweep
the silver stars from the blue vault of heaven
with his crcumscribed tale: frog may as
well try to make lightning flash from his eyes
by sticking the toes Of his hind feet in them !:
musqueto to scare an elephant by grinning
at him: or catfish to climb up a gum tree
backwards with leg Of mutton in his mouth,
as for us to think that we can have sober
community while the dstillery is warm by the
fires Of distillation, and the devil, whose unre-
lenting heart long since has hardened at the
sight of human gore, still sends forth his agents
(almosl as unreIenting as himself to spread
abroad this killing stuff My hearers: we
can't do it. If rum is distilled, il will be sold,
and if sold, will be consumed by many. Don't
you see what must be done? The distilleries
must be stopped these "lttle grog shops
must be shut up; and then, my hearers, then
the orphans cries will change to the songs Of
Joy; the shoeless boy will cease, at the dead OF
winter, TO leave the track of his freezing feet
upon the snow; the Widows heart will receive
new impulses the drunkard's wife, at morn
will be heard singing with the melody Of the
the forest songsters, while neatness, order, and
happiness, reign within the quiet household.
My hearers Don't you want to see such a
time, when every rum shop shall be closed !?
If you DON'T you're an enemy to human hap
piness. If you do, there is one way to effect
this hapy change. How is that !? one may ask.
Why, every one of you sign the pledge, and
get all you can to sign it, and when every man
signs it, there will be none left to buy rum; the
consequence will be, the impoverished and for
saken rumsellers must "back out" and "give
it up"

MEssRs. EDrToRs: Being resident ol
Washington for some years, have been an
observer of the devastations committed by the
demon Intemperance. Many, within my own
recollection, have come to premature graves
from the use Of alcoholic drinks and yet
there are those who witness these things, and
admit the causes which produced them, who
are still following in the road that leads 10
death. Why is this How is II that men
seeing themselves as in gass-seelng the
moral degradation to which they are subjected
by a continuance in this course OF sin, will
still persevere in that which must bring irre-
trievable ruin upon themselves, and entail
misery upon all who are connected with
them.
But have not only observed, Messrs. Edl-
tors. the devastating effects OF intoxicating
drinks upon this community, bat have like
wise observed the beneficial effects OF the tenn
perance cause. Men Of high and lofty stand
ino who bid fair to be the brightest ornaments
Of society, have, by course of degrees IN IN
temperance, Deen DIOu5 5ht uoWh W " ~ w WIN
tho brute-have, by a union with the temper
ance cause, attained their former elevation.
How. then, can men created in the image OF
God acquire habit for drinking moderately,
(lor the habit is acquired, IL is not naturally
when the ineritable consequence OF persistlng
in the habit will bring misery, ruin and death,
and when this picture is daily presented be
fore them in all its glaring hldeousness.
These. Messrs. Editors, are the banetul
effects of ntemperance; and, TO the mere OBJ
server il would seem astonishing that they
could be persisted in. Not so with the poor
drunkard. He, alas ! is. becoming more and
more the slave of appetite aud as appetite
increases, his chains become riveted, until, at
last, when he would retreat, he is held captive
Iby 4 power that he knew. not Of. ".
I, a. word, Messrs. Editors, as 10 the, sale Of
intoxicating drinks. Time was when the sale
of Intoxicating liquors was deemed respect
able, and when those engaged in i were class
ed among the honest and respectable members

The laie Lieut.. Henry Of the U. S.

the idea from his mind On Wednesday
morning lasl she said 10 him" ,"Well, John,
this is your birth day, and you are still in
The land ofihe living" YES, he replied,
