How ISLANDER TRAvELs.-Rev. Henry Ward
beecher, In the last number of The Independent,
gives the following curious instance of the manner
IN which SANDER will obtain circulation:
More than SIX months ago, friend asked us if
we had ever arisen in the pulpit and began a SER
mon by the exclamation, 1T is demned hot OF
course we denied the ridiculous story. In few
weeks another FRIEND with no small anxiety, asked
leave from us to deny it In name, as she had
neard II several times asserted in large companies.
Not long after this, another person. on hearing it,
denied the fact but was assured by lady that She
herself heard 1t This must have been the lady
that brought David Copperield to church instead
of her Bible and left it IN her seat 1t is quite pos
slble that there was some swearing going on, irf
her case, but she mistook the direction. Again
and again we have heard the same story, with va
nous modlhcatlons. II got into the newspapers as
curious and Characteristic anecdote. Two weeks
ago 1t came to us In country paper an extract
from the New York Evening Post. This version
declares that the evening being sultry the clerical

peated the expression three times, and then famed
himself awhile with hymn-book, while surveying
tne surprised audlencei Somebody sent US the
paper, with significant marks drawn around the
story, as IT the sender desired US to understand that
he at least had found out, Last week we received
an atfectionate epstle, dat. sBrentwo ood N H. Sept
j, 1851, in which the writer though he processes not
to believe the story, adds SO many excellent re-
marks upon the guilt of such folly, as to remind
us OF the verdict of an English Jury in the case Of
man charged with sheep-stealing, Not guilty,
but the Jury would advise him not to do so again."
Mr.. Beecher says that so far as he is concerned.
The whole story, in every particular, root,
trunk, branch and leaf, is absolutely and ridiculous
ly false We remember, almost in our boyhood,
story of Rev. Rowland Hill, London, which was
not unlike this-but in much better taste This is

HISTORY OF ALCOHoL.-Alcohol was invented
nine hundred and fifty years ago, by the son of a
strange woman, Hager, in Arabia. Ladies used it
with powder to paint themselves that they might
appear more beautiful and this powder was called
alcohol. During the reign of William and Mary,
an act was passed encouraging the manufacture of
spirits. Soon after, intemperance and profiigacy
prevailed to such extent that the retailers in in
toxicatng drinks put up signs in public places in
forming the people that they might get DRINK on a.
penny, and have some straw to get sober on. -
In the sixteenth century, distilled spirits spread
over the continent of Europe. About this time it
was introduced into the colonies, as the United
States were then called. The first notice we have.
OF its use IN public life, among the laborers in
the Hungarian mines, in the fifteenth century.
In 1851, 1t was used by the English soldiers as a
cordial. The alcohol In Europe was made from
grapes, and sold in Italy and Spain as medicine
in bottles, under the name of water of life Until
the sixteenth century it was only kept by apotheca
mes as medicine. During the reign of Henry
VII, brandy was unknown in Ireland, and soon its
alarming effects induced the government to pass a
law prohibiting its manufacture.
About one hundred and twenty years ago it was
used as beverage, especially among the soldiers
in the English colonies in North-America, under
the preposerous notion that it prevented sickness
and made men fearless on the field of battle II
was looked upon sovereign specific. Such is
brief sketch of the introduction of Alcohol IN So
oiety beverage The history of it is written
in the wretchedness, the tears the groans, poverty
and murder of thousands. 1t has marched through
the land with the tread of giant, leaving the i'm
press of his footsteps in the bones, sinews, and
life's blood of the people.
