The Port Gibson reveille. (Port Gibson, Miss.) 185?-1857, 1853-05-04

The following Is the most graphic delinea
ton Of the miseries and effects Of Intemper-
ance that we have ever seen. It is from the
arguments advanced by certain citizens Of
Portage county. Ohio. in memorial to the
Legislature on the subject in 1888. And yet
its march Of ruin is onward still, 1t reaches
abroad 10 others; invades the family and SO.
cial circles. and spreads woe and sorrow all
around. 1t cuts down youth in its vigor
manhood in its strength and age in its weak
ness. 1t breaks the fathers heart, bereaves
the doating mother; extinguishes natural af.
fection erases cogjugal love; blots out 6lial
attachment; blights parental hope, and brings
down mourning age in sorrow to the grave.
IL produces weakness, not strength; sickness,
not health; death, not life. 1t makes wives
widows; children orphans; fathers fends,
and all Of them paupers and beggars. IL
halls fever, feeds rheumatisms nurses gout
welcomes epidemics invites cholera; imparts
pestilence, and embraces consumptions. Ii
covers the land with idlencss, poverty, disease
and crime. It fills your jails: supplies your
alms-houses, and demands your asylums. 1t
engenders controversies; fosters quarrels !;
and cherishes riots Itcondemns law spurns
order; and loves mobs Il crowds your pen
itentiaries and furnishes the victims for your
scaffolds. 1t is the life-blood of the gambler,
the aliment of the counterfeiter; the prop Of
the highwayman, and the support Of the mid
night incendiary.
1t countenances the liar; respects the thief !;
and esteems the blasphemer. It violates OBJ
legation; reveronces fraud and honors infa-
my. IL defames benevolence: hates love
scorns virtue; aud ISLANDERS innocence. Ii
incitcs the father to butcher his offspring
helps the husband to massacre his wife; and
aids the child to grind his parraeidal axe. Il
burns man; consumes women; detests life
curses God and despises Heaven.
II suborns witnesses; nurses perjury; de-
files the jury box; and stains the judicial
ermine
Il bribes votes; disquali6es voters; cor
rupts elections pollutes our institutions and
endangers our government II degrades the
citizens; debases the legislator, dishonors the
statesman; and disarms the patriot. Il brings
shame, not honor, terror, not safety despair,
not hope; misery, not happiness. And now
as with the malevolence of friend, it calmly
surveys its frightful associations and insatiate
with havoc, it poisons felicity; kills peace
ruins morals blights confidence; slays repu-
tation, and wipes out national honor, then cur
ses the world and laughs at its ruin.

The Treasure Trove.
BY LEIGH HUNT.

When Alexander Of Macedon was seekin,
realms to conquer, be met with people who
lived in a remote and obscure corner, whC
had never heard Of war and conquerors, and
who enjoyed their humble cottages in pro
found peace. They met the Macedonian
King, and conducted him Hospitality, and sol
before him, as feast, dates 6gs, aud other
fruits, made Of gold.
"What do you eat gold here :" asked
Alexander.
"No; but I imagined thou hadst food
enough to cat in thine own country. and that
it was a desire Of gold that led thee forth
from it. Why, therefore. hast thou come 10
us from 50 far country ?"
1t was not for your gold came, replied
Alexander, "but l desired to learn your
customs"
Even so then abide among US slOng as
thou wilt"
While the ruler and the Grecian were con-
yersing, two men Of the tribe came in TO ap-
peal to the rulers judgment The complain
ant spoke:
Il bought a piece Of ground from this
man, aud when l was digging it, | found a
treasure. The treasure is not mine, for
purchased only the ground-I never included
in the purchase any hidden treasure; but
this man, who sold me the land, refuses to re-
ceive the treasure from me"
The defendant now replied:

sold him the ground, and everything that

The ruler took time to understand the case
clearly, and then asked one Of the parties:
Hast thou son ?"
II have"
He enquired Of the other:
Hast thou daughter ?"
yea"
$50, then the son shall marry the daugh-
ter, and the young couple shall have the trea-
sure as a wedding portion"
Alexander betrayed some emotion.
is not my judgment just ?" inquired the
ruler.
Perfectly just" returned Alexander -
!" but 1t surprises me-"
"How, then, would the case have been
decided in thy country q
"To own the TRUTH" said Alexander,
" both the men would have been taken in
custody, and the treasure seized for the
King"
"For the King" said the ruler, full Of as
constituent; "does the sun shine in that
land ?"
Surely"
docs the rain fall! ?"
"0f course"
Wonderful but are there gentle, grazing
animals there p
There are, and Of many kinds"
"Thcn." said the ruler, it is for the sake
of those innocent animals that the all-merci-
full Creator permits the sun to shine, and the
rain to fall upon your land; YE deserve it
