THE DANGERS OF BRANDY DRINKING.


IN the last number OF the Irish Quarterly
Review, the weakness of poor Magnn is
thus alluded to:
" He now turned for comfort and inspra.
ton to the foul fend, Brandy, which has been
the cause o misery to so many men of &c
MUS. We regret the errors of Addison aud
Steele, we sigh at the recollection of poor
Morcland, the painter, working at his last
picture, with the brush in one hand, and q
glass Of brandy in the other, for he had then
arrived at the terrible condition in which rear:
son could only visit him through intoxcation;
and Maginn, although not SO fallen as this
sunk deeply. The weary hours Of lonely
watching brough Int no resource, but that which
copious drafts Of the liquor could supply.
Health was fading away, the brightest years
of life were passed for ever, and as the dim
future lowered, he gazed upon it under the
influence of that demon which enthralled tho
brilliant souls Of Addison, of Sheridan, of
Charles Lamb, and WHICH sent the once
staiwart form Of Theodore Hook, misera-
ble, wretched skeleton, to the grave. =
Maginn, we know, felt his position. He
was neglected by his own party-bc was for
gotten by many of his former friends, and
as we looked upon him in his pitiable condi-
tion, and compared what we then saw in him
with what he might have, and as we hoped
would have been, we often recalled the fear
ful passage of Charles Lamb: When you.
find a ticklish relish upon your tongue, dis.
posing you to n witty sort of conversation,
especially if you find preternatural flow Of
ideas setting in upon you at the sight Of Z;
bottle and fresh glasses, avoid giving way to
it as you would tly your greatest destruction.
Ii you cannot crush at once the power Of
fancy, or that within You which you mistake
for such, divert it, give it some other play.
Write an essay, pen a character of descrip.
tion-but not as | do now, with tears trick
ling down my cheeks. 10 be an object Of
compassion to friends, of derision to foes;i,
to be suspected by stangcrs, stared at by
fools i; to be esteemed dul! when you cannot
be witty, to be applauded for witty when
you know you have been dull; to be called
upon for extemporaneons exercise of that
faculty which no premcditatiou can give !; to
be set on to provoke mirth which procures
the procurer hatred; to give pleasure, and
be paid with squirting malice; to swallow
drafts of life-destroying wine, which are to
be distilled into airy breath to tickle vain
auditors; to mortgage miserable morrows
for nights Of madness! to waste whole seas
of time upon those who pay It back in.little
inconsiderable drops of srudgins applause
are the wages OF 'sufoonry and death. ~; -,
