Dr,l,aksrds and Drunkenness

Drj1lk6TdS ana LJTltEllAS1lMo SSs
The present period appears to be one OF
deep thought and energy of action. That
men should not completely harmonic in the
adoption of measures designed to procure the
best public good, is in no way surprising,
The great and growing evils produced by
the inordinate use Of Intoxicating drinks, has
Of late become so formidable an agent, that
strong legal measures have been resorted TO
for It's suppression.
Whether the present course to be pursued
shall accomplish the desired effect, time alone
must decide,
The object Of this communication, howey-
er, is not to ccnsurc the present course Of
procedure, though the writer may entertain
some doubts as to the efficacy Of legal re-
straints of SO general a character.
Drunkenness is of hoar antiquity. 1t has
been known to exist in the first ages Of The
world. The cases Of Noah and Lot are the
earliest of which history has left en- record,
perhaps as causes that led TO great results in
the history Of nations The formation Of wine
from the fruit of the vine is among the earli-
est discoveries Of man, and the evil conSe-
quences resulting from its general use have
been severely felt by community at large
Tie pleasures of drinking have been the
theme of poetry, and drunkenness has varied
among different nations. II is said to prevail
more in a rude, than in civilized society. Men
are mistaken who suppose that wine was the
only incbriating liquor known to antiquity.
Tacitus mentions the use Of ale as a COM
mon drink among the Germans of his time,
and the favoritc drink Of our Saxon ancestors
was ale or mead. The worshippers Of Od,n
are said to be notorious drunkards. Ardent
spirits, which is supposed to be Il modern IN
vention, existed from very early period, 1t
certainly was known to the Arabians in the
middle ages. Alcohol was known to the al
chymists as early as the 18th century. Wine
was so common in ancient times, as to have a
tutelar god appropriated to it, and Bacchus
and his Silenus are us household words, and
constituted most important feature Of hea,
then mythology.
Wine was SO common among the ancicnts,
that Mahomet perceiving its bancful effects,
forbade it to his followers, who, for substi-
tute had recourse to opium
In speaking Of drunkennoss,it is impossible
not to be struck with the physical and moral
degradation which it has spread over the
world. Wherever Intoxicating liquor has be-
come general, morality has been found on the
decline, and destruction and misery are scat
tered around its path.
The ruin of Rome was owing to luxury, Of
which, indulgence in wine was the principal
ingredient
The destruction of Hannibal's army was Mt
tributed to the wines of Capuo, and the inc

They will weep at the wickedness of the hui
man heart, and warn you to regard the inter-
ests Of your immortal soul.
Some drunkards retain their senses after
their physical powers are quite exhausted, and
preserve a degree of cunning and observation,
which enables them to clude the tricks which
their companions are preparing to play upon
them, and take the first opportunity to retail
late The generality ofpeople, when intoxi-
Gated, are apt to talk of their private affairs,
and reveal the most deeply hidden secrets Of
their companions.
We often find in the habitual drinker, that
the animal propensities prevail over the NOR
al and intellectual ones.
They are prone to combatvencss and sem
suality, and are either very good natured, or
extremely quarrclsome; all their passions are
keen.
The evil consequence of drinking, both in
a physical and moral point Of view, have been
known from remote antiquity,
Houler's fiction of those turned into swine
by the enchanting cup of Gree, plainly I'M
piled the degradation of which men bring
themselves by coming under the dominion
Of so dctcstable a habit. Liquors from the
earliest ages have been known to affect the
liver. Probably the story of Promcthcus'
stealing fire from heaven,and animating clay,
alluded to the effects of wine upon the human
body, and the punishment of having his liver
dcvoured by vultures. &C.

A mou.nfnl cry comes DER the wave,
A cry Of dark dcsY air.
A glorious land fills fast with graves,
For famine RACES there.
And vet above each bitter sigh,
Above each Orphans moan,
Above the mothers piercing cry
The fathers broken groeu,
A fiery monster calls aloud
For bread the staff Of life
And g.asp5 it from the shrie!;ing crowd,
From husband, child, and wife.
A monster fierce, whose 7naky fold,
Consumes but never fills
Whose iCe.il breath, with Ills untold,
Blasts mountain, vale and rlIl;.
And not contcntt to rob of bread,
The starving, dying poor;
With dev'lish malice still more dread
He opes his demon door,
And from internal, sulrhuous fire,
The cup Of poison fills,
Gods besslu Es-turrcd to curses dire,
Roll from his SETTLING stills.
On every wind the tale hath flown
OF suffering, fArlished men-
Our ships with vide spread wings have gone,
TO wake with hope again.
And yet, Oh shame and yet is seen
That Dragons blazing tongue
Flashing athwart the shades Of cen,
Like crimson banner flung.
Up-up, We brave of Englands blood
Scotia and Ireland too
Strike from its hight this demon god,
And bread shall be for you.

A Rr11IHA GUM STOP. Asa droyer

A Bull liz A CHINA SHOP. ASS droyer
was driving herd OF Dullocks upthc city road
towards Ellington, at half past eight o'clock on
Friday evening, the attention Of one of the
animals was attracted by the red shawl Of a
lady, 4 short distance in advance Of it, and TO
which it instantly gave chase. The lady
fortunately perceived her danger before il
became too imminent, and fled prccipitatcly
into the shop Of Mr. Berry, glass and china
man, at the corner Of Fcatherstone street,
through which she ran INTO the back parlor,
and there set down in a state of exhaustion.
The door was instantly closed, but only just
in time to save the lady, for the bullock was
so close in pursuit that it was through the
shop and entering the r0rlor when the door
was shut in his face.
Mr. Berry, who happened 10 be behind the
counter at the time, in great CONSERVATION
at the inevitable destruction Of his tangible
wares, seized the first implement he could
law his hands on, and began to belabor his I'M
welcome intruder over the head and back
with Great yigour, but as Ibis course was GER
