w hat shall we drink in the "days of our youth"
When all things around us seem beauty and truth
When we love only nature, unfettered by art,
And happy emotions "gush up" from the heart
Ere we dream that the world hath sorrow or care,
SO blue are the skies and the flowers so fair?
Water! bright water that springs from the earth
That sparkles in unlight-sllps onward in mirth;
That dasles DER pebbles and then bounding up,
Snatches kiss from the volet's cup.
What shall we drink when mankind hath brought
It's proud aspirations, with intellect fiaught p
When Hope points aloft to the beacon of Fame
And urging us onward we sigh for a name?
When we burn with desires impatient to find
Some long hidden treasure deep locked in the mind
Water drink deep from the pure living foaatan
That gushes afresh from the rock of the mountain
Whose beetling crags hang dizzy on high
Whose submits appear to embrace the blue sky!
What shall we drink when the spring-tme hath fled,
And Times icy fingers, have frosted our head?
When Hopes "fairy visions" have faded away,
And our fond aspirations have passed to decay?
When those whom we loved and who wep for our pair
Are slumbering, never to waken again?
Water o, drink from the deep rivers tide,
Meandring through medadows of beauty and PRIDE
Whose broad placid waters in grandeur sublime,
Move silently on to the ocean oftime!

am to account for the course of those men, that can
make no other apology excuse for them than that
"blndness in part has happened unto Israeli" blind
ness, however, which would at once be obliteraed if
they would but carefully and prayerfuy investigate
the subject But this Though we would hope for the
best we have reason to fear that they will never do,
only as they are by the judgments of God prompted
to do it. And that God will speedily visit us in iudg
ment, unless we speedily repent is as clear as it is
that he win not change. Indeed, it would seem that
his judgments are even now commenced. Already
the church is convulsed, and the bands which have
heretofore bound us so firmly together are fast break
ing assunder, and it would that nothing but &
general reform can save the church from an entire des-
olation. But although judgments await the church,
vet it obviously apperains to God to be the dispenser
of those iudgments;-as it is written, vengeance is
minc will repay, saith the Lord" and again, "Judg-
ment is his work. his strange work." 1t becomes us
therefore, not to attempt the execution Of Gods udg-
ments, but to do all in our power to avert them, and
therein to follow the example of those who anclenty
stood up before the Lord to turn away his fierce wrath
from Israeli and who, throwing themselves, it werc
between an offended God and an offending people,

saints for sample we shall not be disposed to enter
into a crusade, with a view to overthrow the church,
Or any of her institutions on account of their
ton with slavery, but shall labor by possible means
to break up that connection, thereby separating the
precious from the vile. And this faithful exhibition
of the truth cannot fail to accomplish Those, there
fore, whose zeal for the slave has led them to an in
discriminate denuncation of all churches and to seek
with untrng diligence the overthrow of all church or
ganzation, must have entirely mistaken their duty, Of

seem as yet not to have understood, what every re

To The Editor oft Union:
SIR:- The valley Willamette is, in extent, various
ly estimated from $50 to 300 miles in length and from
Cascade Mountains and stretching through several
degrees in Norherly direction, empties into the Co.
lumbia "a miles from its mouth.
Nearly all that portion lying North OF Orugon City
at the falls of the willamette, distant about 35 miles
from the Columbia, and extending 100 miles from
East to West is heavily wooded with valuable timber
here and there patch of prairies, which is gen
orally of an excellent character, and conveniently Skin
ted with woodland. The timber consists of red and
white fir, pine, cedar, cottonwood, ash, MAPLE laurel
elder yew, &c. The surface is varied and the sol
generally good, as will hereafter be shown.
The value and extent Of the water-power caused b,
the perpendicular fall of the river of thirty-eght fee
at Oregon City, will be hereafter considered. The
country commencing at the falls and extending Soutl
for one hundred miles, is an admirable mixture o
woodland and prairie-the woodland lessenng and thu
prairie charging we advance Southwardly.
This district comprises four-ffths of the presen
strength of the American and French populations and
as will appear from array of facts, well have the til
Ter and herdsman been rewarded for their toll and care
no people perhaps having, with limited MEANS ad
vanced their state rapidly since the colonization
America. We will now turn our attention to the up
per- and by far the most interesting portion of thi
magnificent valley. Large numbers coming in witt
accounts so glowing induced me to make a thorough
exploration of that part of the country, and not on
sweep around and approach the base of the mountains
but to ascend and penetrate into the region of pepeu

leading from the heart and centre of the valley to tn
Pacific, over distance of not more than fifty miles
presents most eligible route for the construction of
railway, by keeping alongside the banks of the Ouge
river, at the mouth OF which stream there was discov
cred safe and quiet little harbor, having at ebb-tid
an estimated depth of from nine to twelve feet waite

PRAYER and Slavery,

There are many men protesting the Christian
religion, who also profess to believe Slavery a
Divine institution Now we have lived thus
long and never yet have heard prayer offered
up to God in its behalf If it is of God, Chris
tians, pray for it Try it; it will strengthen
youv faith and purify your soul
o thou omnpotent and benevolent God who
has made all men Of one flesh, thou Father of
all nations, we do most devoutIy bescech thee to
defend and strengthen thy institution, American
Slavery Do thou, o Lord, tighten the chains
of our black brethren, and cause slavery to in
crease and multiply throughout the world And
whereas many nations e. the earth have loved
their nelghbors as themselves, and hovo dome
unto others as they would that others should do
unto them, and have broken every bond and
have let the oppressed 60 lree-do thou, o God,
turn their hearts from their evil ways, and let
them seize once more upon the weak and de-
enceless, and subject them to eternal servtude
And o God, as thou hast commanded us not
to muz1le even the poor OK that treadeth out
the corn; let them labor increasingly without re-
ward, and let their own husbands and wives and
children be sold into distant lands without
crime, that thy name may be glorifed, and that
unbelievers may be conlounded and forced tC

and mercy Stop-stop, o God the escape

these " accmsed" men flee into foreign countries
where nothing but tyranny reigns; and compe

Whereas our rulers in the Alabama Legsla
ture have emancpated black man, because o
some eminent public services thus bringing tn,
holy name into shame-do thou, o God, change
their hearts, melt them into mercy, and into o
bedence to thy will, and cause them speedily tC

substance is formed on the rocks above it, ris-
ing like dome over the crevice, which forms
the communication with the open air. The
natives Of the vicinity affirm that the crus. has
sometimes acquired thickness of as much as
four feet, in less than two years AcduIated by
its impregnation with this powerful mineral, the
Rio Vinagre, of course, becomes unfit for the
support Of animal life; and even The Rio Cauca
into which the Vinegar empties, is destitute of
fish, during course of twelve miles, on account
of the mixture of these sour waters with its own.
The fish are again found in the Cauca, at the
point where it receives the tributes of two other
streams. The Vinagre throws itself into the
Cauca, over three beautiful cascades, the minute
spray from which causes pricking sensation in
the eyes.

MEssRs. EDiToRs In Lev. 1919 we find the fol-
lowing injunction, which quote account of the
thory it gives, both for abstinence and prohbitory
law. edo not drink wine strong drink thou, nor
thy sons with thee when ye go into the tabernacle of
the congregation 7lest We die; it shall be statute
forever throughout your generations"
One important point in this injunction demands no.
tice to wit: the penalty-"lest We die" Another is,
that the "statue" was to be binding forever" The
inquiry arises Why was this command given?
Nadab and Abhu had just been slain for offering
strange fire before the Lord have thought it proba-
BILE that they were intoxicated, and on this account
did not 'sanctfy" or "glorfy" the Lord "before the
people" see verse 81 but, like other drnkards, be-
haved unseemly. Aaron and his sons were not, by
similar conduct to expose themselves to like iudg-
men see 10thverse: "And that we may put difference
between holy and unhoy, and between clean and I'M
clean" implying that while under the influence of in
toxicatng liquors. they were disqualified for their du-
ties and incapable Of discriminating between right and
wrong good and evil, "clean and unclean "holy and
unholy."
Here, them is case in point-an example set-a
thory? If Aaron and his sons, who had seen so ma
ny miraculous displays Of Gods power, goodness
vengeance and holiness, needed law to prevent then
from falling into the evils of intempeance, how mucl
more do mankind at the present day, who are sur
rounded with alcoholic temptations, beset with deprav
ed appetites, and infected by pencious examples
need laws to restrain them from the same evils.
God saw the necessity for prohibtory law, not on
y for Aaron and his sons but for the generators
which should come after him, and for the honor of hi
holy name, ordained that it should be "satute forev
err"
This law is repeated in Ezekiel ID: %, %, to tn
sons of Paddock. As proof that this law could not
broken with IMMUNITY, Ezekiel chap. 90; 26, speaking
of the great corruption Of priests and prophets, say
"Her priests have violated my holy law, and hay
profaned my holy things-they have put no diferenc
between holy and unhoy, and between clean and vi
clean" And in the 3lst, where he adds-"Therefol

Power Of the (IOSneL.

A carpenter who was building the new church
at Walmate, a missionary station in New Zeal
and engaged a native convert to work in his
garden, and promised to pay him for his labor.
AS soon as the native had finished he went to
the carpenter for his wages but instead of get
ting paid, an other of the European workmen
knocked the poor native down, and kicked him
very cruelty while lying on the ground The
native bore it all, most patiently, not murmuring
nor resisting till the other had ceased his cruel
ties; but then starting on his feet, he seized the
other by the throat and shook him as he had
been a cat, and brandished a sharp tool over his
head with which he might have taken away his
life, Now, said the native, you see your life is
in my hands; you owe your life to the preach
ing of the gospel My arm is quite strong E.
nough to kill You, but my heart is not, because
have heard the missionaries preach the gospel.
If my heart were as dark as it was before heard
them preach, would strike off your head You
owe your life TO the preaching of the gospel
He then let the workman go without having done
the least harm to him.

have poured out mire Indignation upon them; have
consumed them with the fire of my wrath; their own
way have recompensed upon their heads, saith the
Lord God"
Now, may we not safely infer from these passages,
that christians who under the New Testament dispen-
saton, are made "kIngs and priests unto CODA
royal priesthood" &c; should have their garments free
from the poutons of intemperance-that they should
add to their faith virtue, and to virtue knowledge and
to knowledge temperance? That they are morally
bound to "drink neither wine nor strong drink and if
christians need be under such obligations are they not
necessary and useful for all mankind?
Have we not abundant evidence, in the effects pro-
duced by alcoholic drinks, that death is still the penal
ty of tansgrossing this aw?-that "wne is mocker;
strong drink is raging !" "at the last it btoth like
serpent and stingeth like an adder"
If any proof were wanted of the truth of Gods word
might find it in the continued fulment of the woes
and curses brought upon mankind by intemperance.
"Who hath Woe" "sorrow," "contentons" "babbling,
''wounds without cause" "redness of eyes?"-'they
that larry long at the wine"-"they that go to seek
mixed wine" Such has ever been the case, and such
it ever will be. Man cannot tempt the Lord his God
with IMMUNITY.
Is it not reasonable to suppose that if the making
and vending ofalcoholic drinks was put down by law
all the evils resulting from their would be Danish
ed from community, and mankind would be made pro.
portionably happier, wiser and better? And have VIC
any reason to suppose that these evils can ever be pre-
vented in any other way? When shall we learn the
important lesson that to license an evil is not the way
to suppress it. How much evil shall we d. or license
others to do, in order that good may Gomez Hhy
should not the law lay its hand upon the dealer, as
well as to fall heavily upon the poor victims of his av
arce and cupidity? Why should not our sympathie'
flow for the poor, deluded sufferers, instead of flowing
out in broad, deep and undivided channel direct
y for grogsellers? Why should we not act in such
way that preaching shall have its due weight, in
stead of being hinderod by the inconsistencies of gu
conduct? When can we succeed, if we pull dow
with one hand fast as we build up with the other?
