Drunkenness.--We wish we could put down
on paper such word Of warning, as would ar
rest tho youths and grown men of this town, who
are rapidly hurrying, by the paths of idcness
and drunkenness, to poverty, disgrace and inia-
my. That such, Or worse, will be the iucvita-
bic result of theiI course Of life, if persisted in
is as certain as that death is their doom. We
sickcn at heart when we see miserable young
fool loalins about with cigar in his mouth,
trequentlng the taverns and drinking liquors;
and an old fool is worse. We scken at the
sight, because we see those who were just such
young men twenty years ago, and in many cases,
ten years back, now gutter drunkards, inmates
oil the poor house and homeless vagabonds; the
sport of those who are following fast in their
footsteps. The youthful dram drnker lis al
ready on incipient pauper--a candidate for rags
and disgrace; and the idlcr, is in most cases
robber, who lives off the industry ofother men.
Young men, and old men too--lhinli of these
things.

SerenaderS.--Rising ealy and retiring late,
the ever walchful "Reporicr" sees and hears
many things which escape the eye and car OF the
general populnce. Many pleasant story and
many wicked one and sad, OF occurrences with
in the prccinls Of our little town, could he re-

Pleasant has 1t been, even at the freezing mid
night hours Of the present week, 'sto bark the

sighings audible by music soft inclcd. What

PRIVILEGED MEMBEEs.--A corrcspon-
dent Of the New York ''lndeprndenI,'
writing from Washington, tells the fol-
lowing good one of a minister who was
not acquainted with the ways OF the
capitol.
"A gentleman on a visit here, and
anxious to listen to the debates, opened,
very coolly, one Of the doors Ct the Sen
ate, and was about to pass in, wien the
door-keeper asked, are you privileged
member! What do you mean ~ such
a man AS ed the stranger. The reply
was, governor, an ex-memhcr of Con-
gress, or a foreign minister. The strang-
er said ! am minister. From what
court or country, ifyeu please! asked
the official. Very gravely pointing up,)
from the Court Of Heaven, sir TO this

A PREpIcTloN.-Recent events have
called to recollection the following pre-
diction of Victor Hugo:
A day will come when the only bat
tie field shall be the market open to
commerce, and the mind open to new
ideas A day will come when can non
shall be exhibited IN public museums
just as an instrument of torture is now,
and people shall be astonishcd how such
q thing could have been. A tav will
come. whon those two iInmcnse groups,
the United States Of America and the
United states Of Europe, shall be placed
IN the presence OF each other, extending
the hand of fellowship across the ocean,
exchanging their produce, their COM
merce, their industry, their arts their
genius, clearing the earth, pcopling the
deserts, me'lorating creation under the
eyes of the Creator, and untirine for the
good of all; these two irresistible and IN
definite powers the fraternity of men
and the power of God.
