History of Alchohol.

Alcohol was invented $50 years ago, by the
son of strange woman, Hager, in Arabia
Ladies used it with powder to paint them
selves, 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 profigacy prevail
ed to such an extent that the ratailers in intox-
icating drinks put up signs in public places i'll
forming people that they might get drunk for
penny, and have some straw to get sober on.
In the 10th century, distilled spirits spread
over the continent of Europe. About this time
it was introduced into the colonies, as the Uni
ted States were then called The first notice
we have of its use in public life, was among the
laborers in the Hungarian mines, in the 10Th
century. In 1881 1t was used by the British
soldiers as cordial. The alcohol in Europe
was made of grapes and sold in Italy and Spain
as a medicine. The Genoese afterwards made
it of grain and sold it as a medicine in bottles
under the name of the water of life, Until the
the sixteenth century it was only kept by apoth.
ecares as medicine During the reign of Henry
VII, brandy was unknown in ireland. and soor
its alarming effects induced the government tc
pass a law prohibiting its manufacture.
About 100 years ago it was used as bever
age, especially among the soldiers in the En-
glsh colonies in North America, under the pre-
posterous notion that it prevented sickness ant
made men fearless on the field of battle. /

yam.

The following account of the trial and impris-
onment of Bunyan, is from new work by Lord
Campbell, entitled " The Chief Justices of Eng.
land"
To us, it is replete with interest as showing
to what cause we are indebted 5r Pilgrims Pro-
gress, work that will last as long as the Ian
guage in which it was written-ED.
"His demeanor (Sir Matthew HALEY in the
case Of John Bunyan, the author of 'The Pill
grim's Progress shows him paying respect both
to the rules of law and to the dictates of hu.
manity. This wonderful man-who, though
bred tinker, showed genus little inferior to
that of Dante-having been illegally convicted
by the court of quarter sessions, was lying in
prison under his sentence, in the gaol of Bed
ford Soon after the restoration of Charles H.,
the young enthusiast had been arrested while he
was preaching at meeting ina private house,
and refusing to enter into an Asbga cement that
he would preach no more, had been indicted as
: person who devilishly and perniciously alb
stained from coming to church to hear divine
service, and common upholder of unlawful
meetings and conventicles, to the great disturb
ance and distraction of the good subjects of the
realm At his arraignment, he said, 'Show me
the place in the Epistles where the Common
Prayer Book is written, or one text of Scripture
that commands me to read it, and will use it.
But vet, Notwithstanding, they that have mind
to use it. they have their liberty; that is, would
not keep them from it. But, for our own parts,
we can pray to God without It. Blessed be his
Bame.' The Justices consdeed this tantamount
to plea of guilty, and without referring his case
to the Jury, the chairman pronounced the follow
ing judgement:
you must be had back to prison, and there
lie for three months following; and ut three
months end, ifyou do not submit to go to church
to hear divine service, and leave your preaching
YOU must be banished the realm. And if, altel
such day as shall be appointed you to be gone
you shall be found in this realm, or be found to
come over again without special license from
, the KING, you much stretch by the neck for it
D tell you plainly
5 "Abitrary as the laws then were, there was
no clause in any statute that would support thi'
f sentence; yet Bunyan was imprisoned under it
as he refused to give surety that he would ab
: stain from preaching. Elizabeth, his wife, &C
= tuated by his undaunted spirit, applied to thu
: House of Lords for his releases and, according
: to her relation, she was told they could do moth

Twill think of thee, sister,
When far, far away,
As twilight with her shadows
Fer curtains the day,
And the stiffness of evening
prOClaims o'eT The land,
That the care worn and weary,
On mountain or strand,
Can all rest from their laborS,
And muse on the scene
For attired is all nature
In robes gay and green.
will think of thee, sister,
My friend ever true,-
As gaze upon nature,
Her beauties to view;
And will ask that thy heart,
So pure and so free.
May dull sadness and SORROW
Life's ills--never see;
For thy mind is SO gentle,
And cheering thy smile,
deem thy heart to be pure,
'| And free from all guile.
l will think Ct thee, sister,
Wherever stray,
As time swift and silently
Wings onward his way;
And will ask that Gods blessing
May ever descend
Upon thee, my dear sister,
My warm, faithful friend.
And trust that in RETURN
As day follows day
That thou wilt then think of me,
When far, far away.

A MISTAKE.

We notice the following paragraph in a
number of our exchanges, and republish il
for the purpose of correcting an error con-
tanned in it, which is calculated to iniure
seriously similar Institutions in other States.
The Virginia Institution for the Deaf and
Dumb and Blind, situated at Staunton, has
been in operation a little over eleven years,
and its beneficiares number one hundred
and ninety-four. Sixty-one deaf and dumb,
and thirty-two blind, are pupils at the pres
ent time. Besides the regular education
impaired, knowledge of various trades,
such as the shoe-making, carpentry, book
binding, brush-making, understanding,
and chair-making, isNtaught. The labor per-
formed by the inmates not only defrays the
expenses of the Institution, but yields a
small revenue.
The mistake consists in the last statement
The mechanical operations of the two de-
partments may defray their o.on expenses
but that is all. Heavy annual appropria-
lions are made by the Legislature for the
support of our noble Institution, The shops
are designed to benefit the pupils, by i'm
parting the knowledge Of some good trade,
and would be kept in operation if they did
not yield cent of revenue. If the labor
expended by the pupils were taken into ac-
count, no profits would be realized.

AUNT0N SPECTATOR
THE CONVENTION AND THE BASIS.

The Convention is again in stew, Inc
Report of the compromise Committee so
called, had been adopted on "Wednesday IN
the Convention by a majority OF seven anu
twas generally regarded as clncner 10
the question which has occasioned so much
DELAY and confusion in its deliberations
hut on Thursday morning, Mr.. THOMAS
.JrrrERsoN RANDOLPH, of Albemarle who
had voted for the Report, arose very soon
after the President had taken his seat, and
rave notice that, in consequence OF certain
instructions got up among his constituents,
ia would on the 9TH of June move recon-
sideration of the vote upon the basis, IN Or
der 10 allow himself and others to comply
with such instructions as should be property
authenticated. AT the request of a number
of Eastern gentlemen Mr.. RANDOLPH sub
stitgted the 18th for the 9Th. The effect OF
this announcement viii be to dissatisfy the
Western members so much that they will
seriously sembarrass the proceedings IN the
interval. There was much disaPprobatlon
manifested by them, and several threats
made of recess till the 18th, or an adjourn
ment sins die. What the result is to be 1t
is impossible to guess; but if three others OF
the Compromise members from the East
should be instructed, as well as Mr., RAN
poLpfI, to retrace Their steps, it IS obvious
that this scheme of adjustment must per-
ish. This is very probable indeed, judg-
ing from the popular temperm Eastern Vir-
ginia. Well, such is the natural course OF
radical "Jefersonian" democracy. Unjust
obey the will of its local constituency, at
whatever date expressed, and whatever may
be the dictates Of ones judgment and con-
science. 1t is perfectly apparent to any
person who viii reflect for moment upon
The state of affairs in this Convention, that
ir all its members we're free to act according
to their convictions of duty to the whole
people Of Virginia, the White Basis would
be adopted without delay. Nothing but your
-"infnite radicalism" stands in the way
What a commentary upon such doctrines
does the course of Mr.. RANDOLPH afford
A White Basis man in principle, he bows
with all the pliancy of willow twig to the
breath Of the people of Albemarle; and when
a large majority of the people of Virginia
demand the privilege of settling this ques-
ton for themselves, Mr.. RANDOLPH, in pur-
suance of instructions will be found voting
to refuse it. 1t follows of course that it is
not 'Jcffersonian democracy" that the peo-
pie Of a State should have their way, whilst
tits HJefersonian democracy" that the peo-
pie of an election district should have theirs.
70 escape from such dilemma would seem
10 require more dexterity than the Grand
son" has inherited.
