The Ohio organ, of the temperance reform. (Cincinnati, [Ohio]) 1853-1854, 1853-09-02
Cause and Effect.

We extract the following from the Indi-
ana "Chart:"
'Dr. Soule, son of Bishop Soule, was
found in the yard of Mr.. COburn, on last
Wednesday morning, nearly dead from an
attack of delirium tremens. He died before
he could be taken home. We understand
that his family are in Ohio at present. He
has long been of incorporate habits. He
came to this city about eighteen years ago,
and, we believe, engaged for while in the
practice of his profession, which was den
tistry but his Incorporate habits soon
strengthened upon him, until he could do
nothing at it. He has been for a long time
doing nothing for himself or anybody else
Ia useless member of society, being agreat
part of tie time under the influence Of al
cOhol." @4aJ

~ Two men in Illinois, near La.
con, stole a bottle of rum, as they
supposed; they both drank of it in
such haste that its pungency and dead
ly power were not discovered until too
late to avert the evil. 1t turned out
to be nitric acid, procured for the pur-
poses of galvanizing. But a moment
elapsed before they fell to the earth,
overwhelmed with the most intense
and excruciating pain, which would
ensue if they had swallowed red-hot
Goals. Death soon ensued.-DelG-
a0are Herald.
The foregoing is very suggestive Of
the contrast between the effects of the
two poisons, nitric acid, and liquor:
the one strikes down its victim in an
instant, the other breeds a hell in the
human breast, that wars and wran-
giles increasingly with reason, drives
the soul from its palace, and at last,
commissions "legion of foul fends"
to await it to the regions of everlast-
ing DEATH Oh! what a funeral pro-
cession attends the soul of the drunk
ard to its eternal home.

Common Sense against the Maine
Taw


AAAAANN
Law.
This lille more than ordinarily
common ssnsed sheet manifests some
what Of disgust that the Organ should
have styled Dow the KOssuth Of the
temperance reform. Now, while we
have some serious misgiVings at the
idea Of entering into a controversy
with that ably conducted paper, we
dislike exceedingly to have it under
rate our opinion. We know that we
subject ourselves to the ridicule and
Contumely that may be retOrted by
the scientific pen of DR.. johnson"
who has shown in many instances as
clear as mud, and in some, clearer,
that intemperance is not an evil, and
has recently elucidated to the satisfac-
ton of all his patrons in an elaborate
didactic poem, that "water is disgust
full" yet we shall venture remark
in the way of selfdefense. His pre-
misses are, 1st, "Kossuth labors for
the freedom of his conntry"-2d,
"Dow tries his utmost to enslave his
Fatherland" Inference, they are not
alike. His second premise being u lie,
of course the syllogism is destroyed,
and no correct conclusion can follow;
Cd, he brings in his medical skill, and
argues that, were the Maine Law to
pass, and liquor TO be banished, those
cravings for it, in the human breast
would never be annihilated. Well,
we admit that none kuoaO so well about
this matter as those who know by er-
perience, yet we beg leave to differ
from the Doctor here, for we think
that he would whine no longer ovel
this bereavement, than he probably
did in '1ang syne" when weaned from
maternal nourishment-though HI
might. But his conclusion is more
than dOubly severe: he certainly mus
have dipped his pen very deep into the
ink of calupny, or the deOI welded
very t.iumphantly his hand when he
wrote the following shameful para
graph: B.
"Yes, NEAL Dow, your fame vii
last for time, and then will turn in
to shame; it will stand prominent
among those names not born to de-
among that category Of celebrities
where we meet the names of JUDAS
IscARIoT, ERosTRATUs, BENEDICT AR
MOLD, and AARON BURR, traitors to
their benefactors, to their countries. "

How TO TREAT A WIFE.-First, get
wife; secondly, be patient. You may have
great trials and perplexities in your business
with the world; but do not, therefore, car
ry to your home a cloudy or contracted
brow. Your wife may have many trials,
which, though Of less magnitude, may have
been as hard to bear. A kind, conciliating
word, q tender look, will do wonders in
chasing from her brow all clouds of gloom.
You encounter your difficulties in the open
air, famed by heavens cool breezes; but
your wife is often shut in from these health
full influences, and her health fails, and her
spirits lose their elasticity. But oh. bear
with her; she has trials, and sorrows to
which you are q stranger; but which your
tenderness can deprive of all their anguish
Notice kindly her efforts to promote your
comfort. Do not take them all as matter
of course, and pass them by, at the same
time being very sure to observe any omis-
sion of what you may consider duty to you.
Do not treat her with Indifference, if YOU
would not scar and palsy her heart, which,
watered by kindness, would, to the latest
day of your existence, throb with sincere
and constant affection. Sometimes yield
your wishes to hers. She has preferences
as strong as you, and it may be just as try
ing to yield her choice, as to you. Do you
find it hard to yield sometinpes2 Think you
it is not difficult for her to give up alacays2
If you never yield to her wishes, there is
danger that she will think you are selfish,
and care only for yourselt and with such
feelings she cannot love as she might
Again, show yourself manly, so that your
wife may look up to you, and feel that you
will act nobly, and that she can confde in
your judgment.

AN AUCTIONEER CAUGHT IN HIS OWN
TRAP.-Smith, the auctioneer, is q popular
man, a wit and gentleman. No person is
offended at what he says, and many a hear
ty laugh has he provoked by his humorous
sayings. He was lately engaged at a sale
of venerable household furniture, and had
knocked down sundry lots of kitchen furni-
ture and fxens. He had just got to
"Going, going, and half, and half
going" when he saw q smiling countc-
nance upon agricultural shoulders winkins
at him. A wink is always as good as a nod,
to blind horse or keen sighted auctioneer;
so Smith winked, and the man winked, aud
Smith winked, and the man winked, and
Smith kept "Going, going, going" with
lot of glass ware, stove pipes, carpets, pots,
and perfumery and finally the lot was
knocked down.
ITO a-who ?'' said Smith, gazing at the
smiling stranger.
"Whos Golly?" said the stranger, al
dunno who. :"
why, you, sir.'' said Smith.
"Sho Me?"
Eyes, yes" said Smith ''you bid on the
lot"
"Me ?" III be gOll darned if did," i'll
sisted the stranger.
"Why, didn't you wink, and keep wink
ing" qouth the auctioneer
"Winkin'? Well did-so did you wink
at me. | thought you were winkin', as
much as to say-K.ep dark, I'll stick some
body on that lot of stuff; and | winked, as
much as to say-IN be gOu darned # goa

AFFECTATIoN.-This is q poor, and very
transparent sort of folly. People who prac
tice 1t are especially thin Drained and foolish.
To be affected is to be nonsensical and
those who are guilty of it may rest assured
that it never fails to disclose itself. Every
body knows that paint and nature are as
wide as the poles, and as different as water
and fire. Touching affectation, a western
cotemporary has the following:
"If anything will sicken and disgust a
man, it is the affected, mincing way in which
some people choose to talk. 1t is perfectly
nauceous. If those young jackanapes, who
screw their words into all manner Of dia-
bolical shapes could only feel how perfectly
disgusting they were, it might induce them
to drop it. With many it soon becomes
confirmed habit that they cannot again be
taught to talk in a plain, straight forward,
manly way. In the lower order of ladies'
boarding schools, and, indeed too much every
where, the same sickening. mincing tone is
too often found. Do try, good people, to
talk in your natural tone, if you don't want
to be utterly ridiculous and contemplate.

William Lambert, died in that city on the

THE ERRING.

Think gently of the erring!
Ye know not of the power
With which the dark temptation came
In some unguarded honr;
Ye may not know how earnestly
They struggled, or how well,
Until the hour of darkness came,
And, sadly, thus they fell.
Think gently of the erring,
Oh! do not thou forget,
However darkly stained with sin,
He is thy brother yet
Heir of the selJ J-same heritage
Child of the self-same God!
lie hath but stumbled in the path
Thou hast in weakness trod.
Speak gently to the erring!
For is it not enough
That innocence and peace have gone,
Without thy censure rough?
1t sure must be a weary lot,
That sin-crushed hear to bear.
And they who shaIe happier fate,
Their chidings we'll may spare.
Speak kindly to ths erring
Thou yet may'st lead them back,
With holy words and tears of love,
From misery's thorny tracy.
Forget not thou hast often sinned,
Ard sinful yet must be
Deal gently with the erring one,
AS God has dealt with thee,
