DRUNKENNESS A CRIME.

We were never better pleased with a
judges charge, than that of Mr.. Justice
Coleridge, on the trial of young Monk
house for shooting at his father. The
defence set up was drunkenness! "The
prisoner" said Mr.. Ballantine, his coun-
sell q was addicted to habits Of intempe-
rance )" and he submitted that at the
time hesmade the attack upon his pa
rent, he was in a dreadful state of in
toxication p We are sorry barrister
should havetaken such line of defence.
Could he have hoped it would be sue
cessfuIa If the prisoner had been ac-
quilted upon such ground, ruffian would
have only to make himself thoroughly
drunk before he went upon his work Of
mischief, to have fair chance of acquit-
tal. Mr.. Justice Coleridge properly told
/ The Jury that {. drunkenness itself was
in law no excuse for a crime,' and in
sentencing the prisoner after conviction,
added that the court could not for a mo-
ment permit tito be thought that it was
any palliation of an offence, that it was
committed under the influence Of drink.
He could not help thinking that in the
present case, the prisoner, having formed
the desperate design which to some ex.
3tent he had carried out, had endeavored tc
fortify himself to commit 1t by the excite.
ment Of drink" 1t would have been
i strange, indeed, If one crime had been
| allowed to excuse a greater. A man
has no right to get drunk. Drunkenness:
is punishable offence, because of it.

A drunken man may not be consciou.
of that he does; but the very act of get
ting drunk betrays, at least. a reckless
ness of consequences, and he should no
; be held blameless when bad ensues.-
Drunkenness is vice too leniently deal
= with. 1t is the cause of much of fh,

man. The Sons were holding meet
ing that night in their accustomed place.
Byrnham went direct TO the Hall
begged the O.S. togo in and send Darl-
ton to him. Darlton came. Byrnham
told him he had come TO join the Sons
and implored his friend to get admiss-
ion that night Darlton returned to his
brethren, made the effort, and succeed,
ed. That night Byrnham returned to
his wife sober man, explained TO her
how he had overheard what had passed
between herself and father, the effect
it had upon him, and what he had
done. Poor Fanny wept herselfto sleep
on the bosom of her husband. The
next morning Darlton sought his friend
Byrnham, and offered him the head
clerkship in his extensive establish
ment. The offer was thankfully re-
ceived, and Byrnham went to work re-
solved to live and die son of Temper
ance. Fanny and her babe were COM
fortablY provided for, and in a short
time her cheeks resumed their wonted
color, and she became again the bright
and beautiful Fanny Of former days
General Montressor made Byrnham a
partner in Darlton's establishment
And, to use Byrnham's own language
all things go well with true Son o
Temperance, but misfortunes oyertakt

THE COMPANY OF WOMAN.

He cannot be an unhappy man who
has the love and smiles OF woman to
accompany him in every department Of
life. The world may look sad and cheer
less without. enemies may gather in
his path, but when he returns to the fire
side and sees the tender love of woman,
he forgets his cares and troubles, and is
comparatively happy man. He is not
prepared for the journey of life, who is
without a companion, who will forsake
him in no emergency-who will divide
his sorrows-increase his joys-lift the
veil from his heart and throw sunshine
amid the darkest scenes. Not that man
cannot be miserable, who has such a
companion, be he ever sop poor, despised
and trodden upon by the world.

WHAT A pRuDENr WIFE DID.

A correspondent Of the National Era
relates the following :
"a factwhich / came in possession Of
a couple of years ago may illustrate the
character of the New-Englanders, and
reveal the origin of some branches of
their profitable businesses. S. W
was the son of country clergyman, and
was accustomed to laboring on farm in
summer, and keeping school in winter.
He was moral, industrious and frugal
and took vile possessing the same
qualities, together with shrewd propen-
sity to calculate all articles of living.
One day her husband brought home the
cloth and trimmings for new coat. The
wife inquired the price of the buttons,
which, she noticed, were made OF cloth
lasting or, more fully, everlasting !,
covered on to wooden button molds. She
thought she could afford as good but
Ton, make by hand, for less money. The
next day, like the true daughter of a
Yankee, she tried the thing out She
bought the cloth by the yard and the
moulds by the dozen, and in week she
had better buttons, at less price, in the
market. S-W- soon left farming
and school-keeping. bought the cloth
which his wife cut into button-covers anc
button-moulds, nired the women and girl.
of the neighboring towns, to make then
up, and sold them at great profits.
Soon another enteredinto partnership

to do the work. Then the plain lasting

NEARNESS- OF ETEsNITY.

The following impressive thoughts are
found at the close Of one Of DR.. Springs
sermons :-'' shall never address this au-
dience again. shall never again meet
them, but at the bar Of God. That inter
view seems indeed far distant. But il will
be as soon as Time, with. his eagle wings,
shall have finished the little remnant of his
short career After.death, the judgments Z, :
We die; but intervening ages pass rapidly
over those who sleep in the dust There IS
no dial-plate there on which to- count the
hours Of time. No longer IS it told by days,
or months, or years; for the planets which
mark these periods are hidden from their
sight. Its flight is no longer noted by events
perceived by the senses for the ear is deaf
and the eye is closed The busy world of
life, which makes at each morning and ceas-
es every night, goes on above them, but to
them all is silent and unseen. The greet
ings of joy and the voice of grief. the reyo-
lutions of empires and the lapse of ages,
