the individual who furnished him
with the liquor is infinitely more gull
ty before God and man, and though
excused by human law, win be held
vastlymore responsible before thegreat
tribunal of the Almighty than the
man who is the direct perpetrator Of
the deed. But is there no way in
which society may be rid of this
scourge that is yearly sweeping hordes
Of the human race into eternity,
"Even in the blossoms of their sins"
Is there no way Of staying this tide
of destruction that is pouring onward
through the land, swelling and in
creasing in volume yearly, that
sweeps away and buries in its turbid
flood, myriads of our race! that fills
houses with wretchedness, and pris-
ons with convicts, that visits the rich,
the poor and the middle classes alike,
that breaks the hearts of parents, and
makes the young hopeless in life, in
death, and hopeless in eternity, that
takes the strong man from bis labor, the
Intellectual man from his studies, the
official from his duties, the husband
from his wife, the parent from his
children, the children from their pa
rents, and hurries them all, great
army Of the fallen, to a death and
grave of dishonor? Oh, yes, this
must be stopped-there is a senti-
ment ripening in the minds of the
people that will stop the murderous
traffic very soon. Legislators must
come up to the mark or their "day of
glory" is but short. B.

Who hath Wo2

\ We have in our minds eye melan-
cholIy case illustrative of the folly, the
infatuation, the madness of those who
indulge in fashionable wine drinking.
Mr.. Y, young man of splendid
abilities and surrounded with all the
benefits which wealth and other ad-
ventitions circumstances could give,
was nevertheless fond of the social
glass. He married lovely girl Of
large fortune, and they entered to-
gether upon what appeared to be a
brilliant career. Being a lawyer and
possessed not only of talents Of a high
order, but of popular and winning
manners, he soon became a favorite,
and was elected to the Legislature re-
peatedly, and finally was chosen to
represent his district in the Congress
of the United States. His cause there
was approved by his constituents and
he was reelected.
His house was always open and his
hospitality was unbounded. The mer.
ry laugh, the giddy dance, the spark
ling and costly wines, were frequently
found in his brilliantly lighted palace.
But the serpent was coiled around the
silver goblet and the adders, poison
lurked within. Mr.. Y. was mortally
bitten, and five years since he died of
delirium tremens and his manly frame
was deposited in a drunkards grave.
He left his fond wife, one son and two
daughters to mourn his untimey end.
One would have supposed that the
destroyer would have been forever
banished from that dwelling, but his
presence was still welcomed, and but a
few months elapsed before the habili-
ments of mourning were laid aside and
the scenes Of hilarity and folly were
renewed. The son at the time of his
fathers demise, was a curly headed
The Ohio organ, of the temperance reform. (Cincinnati, [Ohio]) 1853-1854, 1853-12-30

boy Of thirteen, and his friends saw in
him indications that a brilliant future
was before him. But alas, eighteen
summers had not scattered their rich
garniture around him before he was
laid beside his father a whiskey rotted
mass. He died Of mania pOtu. When
the body of the son was borne away
from the gorgeous mansion to the mar
row sepulchre, the mothers face was
flushed with wine, and the dawning
poison was ranking in her veins.
She is at this hour drunkard and is
staggering, and reeling to the same
hell that engulphed her husband and
son. The daughters lovely and ac-
complished loathe the sight of their
mother and blush at the mention of
her name, yet they still offer wine to
their guests and the approaching New
Years day will find nest of scorpions
on their side bound to sting all who
may favor them with a fashionable
call.
Our readers may think this fancy
sketch, and yet it is every word true,
all a stern and sober reality. All this
has transpired and is transpiring in
our very midst. We might state that
this drunken widowed mother bore a
name among the proudest in our coun-
try's annals, and is related nearly to
one of the chief magistrates of the ma
ton. Oh what a comment on the
drink of the aristocracy

The New Year is Coming.

We are now in the dawn Of New
Year-and who, in looking back over
tie events Of his life for the last twelve
months, isprepared to say he has done
his duty to himself, his God, and his
.fellow-men! Who has not sinned
against his God? Who has not
wronged his fellows? Let every one
refect-ye who have lived to lust,
and indulge in your animal passions
without taking thought of religion
and your Creator, think of what your
conduct has been, and reform. Ye
who have been traffickers in the deadly
poison, who have striven, by strata
gem and false show, to decoy men
into the dens Of death, reflect upon
the infernality and utter hellishnoss of
your business, and resolve TO let the
new year witness you renewed, bet
ter man. Let every man make an
effort to eschew, forever, the use and
handling of spirituous liquors, and
our word for it, he will say, at the end
Of the next year, he is happier, bet
ter, and more, infinitely more hon
ored in society than ever, while linked
to the internal evil. al B.

A Word Of Caution.


Let our young friends look out for
ebrecksrs" on New Years day. Many
ruined souls on earth and in hell, star
ted on the inclined plane downWards
on this festive day. The time was
when the usages of society, the laws
Of hospitality required the ladies to
greet their friends with wine. That
dark period, thank God, has passed,
although there are some who reck-
lessly and wickedly keep up the bar
barous custom. We would affection
ately besseech all WHO are tempted to
resist--turn from the house, though it
be a gilded palace, where its inmates
offer the adder's poison. It is the
gate of hell, we care not who keeps it,
and to enter may cost you your soul.
We pity the weakness of the young
man who shall yield to the temptation,
though it may be presented by the
hand of the fair, and we despise, exc
crate, and would shun from our pres
ence her who would fill the bowl. If
they who offer what they call wine on
New Years day are cursed with
drunken, besotted husbands or sons,
theirs is a just retribution.
A mushroom aristocracy exists in
almost all our cities and larger towns,
who think it genteel and refined to
have sideboard and tables loaded with
costly decanters filed with the DEVILS
drink. How mistaken are their notion
of gehtility and refinement! They
stand at the head Of society! of SO
eiety from which we pray God to be
delivered. "Oh, my soul, come not
thou into their secretl unto their as
sembly mine honor be not thou
united!" The head of a society, whose
members are preparing for career of
vice. How many enter these halls of
luxury. drink of the maddening potion,
and go hence to the gorgeous saloon
and the house of infamy! Oh, ye vo-
taries of folly, when will you learn
wisdom? Reader, associate with such
an upper tendon" as you would de-
scend into the lowest haunts of vicious
dissipation, to reclaim the victims of
sin.
