Episcopal Church Temperance.

We have had occasion to animadvert
pretty severely upon the position Of the
Clergy and the higher dignitaries Of the
Episcopal Church. There are, and there
have been, small minority Of the lead
ing men who have, in the face Of the
bitterest opposition, stood by the tenn
perance cause with commendable devo-
ton.
We are glad of any opportunity to re-
cord evidences of better state of things,
for we hope to have the united influence
ofthe whole body of the Christian Church,
by whatever name known. Bishop Bur-
CESS, Of Maine, one of the brightest lights
of the Episcopal Church in the United
States, lives where he has had an oppor-
tunity of Witnessing, disinterestedly, the
effects of law of prohibition. We pub
lish in this number Of the "Organ" let
ter from this distinguished man, and we
commend its perusal to all, and espe-
cially to the members Of his church. We
would respectfully ask the Cincinnati
"Gazette" to give this letter a place in
its columns.

A Soft Pillow,

White6eld and a pious companion
were much annoyed, at public house,
by set of gamblers in the room adjoin-
ing where they slept, Their noisy clam
or and horrid blasphemy SO excited
White6elds adherence and pious SYM
pathy, that he could not rest.
"l will 60 in to them, and reprove
their wickedness," he said. His COM
panion demonstrated in vain. He went.
His words of reproof fell apparently pow
erless upon them. Returning, he laid
down to sleep. His companion asked
him rather abruptly,
"What did you gain by itW
IA soft pillow" he said, patiently and
soon fell asleep.
Yes, "a soft pillow" is the reward of
fidelity--the champion of a clear con.
science. 1t is a sufficient remuneration
for doing right in the absence of all other
reward. And none know more truly the
value Of soft pillow than those parents
whose anxiety for wayward children is
enhanced by a consciousness Of neglect.
Those who faithfully rebuke and proper
ly restrain them by their Christian de-
pertinent and religious counsels, can
sleep quietly in the day of trial.
Parents! do your duty now, in the
fear Of God, in obedience to his law, at
every sacrifice; and when cid age comes
on, you may lie down upon a soft pillow,
assured Of His favor who has said,
"Train up child in the way he should
go, and when he is old he will not de-
part from il"

Deaths by Intemperance.

A man by the name OF Arthur S. How
ell was found dead yesterday morning in
the Hammond street Station-house. An
inquest was held over his body, and the
jury returned a verdict--sfcame to his
death by intemperance and exposure"
He had been lodged there the night pre-
vious for drunkenness. Also, an inquest
was held over the dead body of Henry
Miller, found in frame shanty on the
road leading to Reading. Verdict of the
jury-"came to his death by intemper-
ance and exposure" The other day two
men started out hunting, and one Of
them having INDUCED too freely in Ii
quor, lost his gun in the canal. He
plunged in after it, and before he could
be rescued by his companion, came very
near drowning. Medical assistance was
obtained, but of no avail. He died.
Liquor was the cause. Thus, day. BY
day, the ''six hundred thousand" drunk
ards of the United States are dropping
into oblivion, leaving no heritage to theil
friends and families, but shame, humilia.
ton and wretchedness. "Is there nc

Disgusting.

Nothing so thoroughly demolishes and
wipes out the conviction from our mind
that there is @glory in YOUTH" as TO see
boy attempting 10 raise mustache, or
sucking the nasty end OF cigar, for the
Ioathsome incense of tobacco. And vet,
in the opinion Of our young lads, it is an
extreme cut of superb gentility, an ex-
quisite manifestation of high-wrought
Eoppery, to afford an upper-lip robed in
silken down-white, yellow, sandy or
silver.gray, fuzzy or woolly-with a
"half-spanish cigar" projecting from a
usurped socket and the white smoke
wreathing and curling up through the
furgy thicket like the mist of morning
floating upward into cloud of cotton.
To be thus, is the heighth of many a
boys ambition. Oh! how the chival-
rous juvenile throws back his head, and
pricks up his ears, as he regales HIM
self upon the fumes of the nasty weed,
or when the world wags heavily, sits in
the silence Of his own chamber, drinking
in the Supplying vapor, "sighiug like
furnace with wotul ballad made to his
mistress eyebrow" You ask the brave
lad why he INDUCES in this practice, and
he will E'cock" his head back and say to
you, ooh !. it is such a luxury; it helps
to drive away dull care; and when
clouds of gloom darken my pathway, it
enables me better to sustain the burden
Of life" or he will say, n know it is a
bad habit but | have become SO welded
to the practice that it is impossible to
wean myself off," All! you little saint,
if your mother would take you across
her knee and slap you right well time
or two, it would bring down your preco-
city "peg." B.

A New Magazine.

II has been suggested to us by Gen.
Cary, and other prominent friends of
temperance, that there is great want of
a Monthly Magazine, in which to keep
a permanent record of the history of the
Temperance Reform, in its past and pre-
sent phase, and in which to record the
facts and statistics relative to the baneful
influences OF the liquor traffic. There is
no doubt that such publication is greatly
needed, and we would like to have an
expression Of opinion from some of our
brethren in the different States as. to its
practicability. If it shall be deemed pru-
dent to commence the publication Of
such Magazine, we shall spare no pains
to make it just what it ought to be. =

Do AS Do.-A we'll known fast man

liberal friend.

unanimous reply. "Whatis yours going

The Organ-New Volume.


In few more weeks the present volume
ofthe Organ will terminate. With the first
number Of the newor third volume, we pro-
pose to make some material alterations in
the paper, viz LIST. Change the form from
quartO (its present fOrm) to folio, or four pa
ges, and printed upon new type cast ex-
pressly for it. I'd, A change of name to
the "NAnoNAL TEMPERANcE ORGAN"
The wants Of our readers suggest these
changes to us, and we make them cheerful
ly, as return for the liberal support here
tOfore given the Organ, though the changes
proposed win be large advance on the
present cost Of the paper. The subscrip-
ton price will remain as it is-while the
amount Of reading matter will be increased
more than One.third. We have secured cor.
respondents in different parts of the coun-
try, to furnish US the latest and most accu-
rate news in relation to the present general
movement in favor Of entire prohibition
throughout the United States. When our
arrangements are completed, we expect to
make the Organ the best Temperance Fami-
ly Newspaper ever published, making it Just
as acceptable to the people of Maine or
Georgia, as to the people Of Ohio or Indi-
ana, &c. Wherever the fight RACES thick
est, there we expect to pour in our heaviest
shots. The Organ volunteered for the pay,
and we shall not cease to battle our com
mon enemy SO long as he is out of prison
bounds. Our motto is, "Search, Seizure and
Confscation," all over the land.
The proposed alterations in the Organ, as
we have before said, will create consider
able outlay of capital at the start, and dur.
ing the year. We shall, therefore, conf
IDENTIFY look for large increase in our list
of patrons. We appeal to our friends now,
in view of these improvements, to be up
doing-canvass your city, town, village or
township, and send US as many names as
possible. The larger our circulation-the
greater will be the influence of the Organ.
The indomitable Gen. S. F. CARY, will
continue to devote large portion Of his
time and talents to the Organ. The articles
from his gifted pen are alone worth the sub
scription price of the paper. And when il
is considered that he is the acknowledged
head and leader Of the temperance forces n
the Union, no friend of the cause should b,
without the Organ.
Il To those who have been with us thus far
we would return our thanks, and hope they
will continue to favor US with their patron
age. The new volume will commence OF

HistOry Of Alcohol.

Alcohol was invented $50 years
ago, by the son Of a strange woman,
Hager, in Arabia. Ladies used it
with a powder to paint themselves,
that they might appear more beaui-
full, and this powder was called alco-
hol. During the reign of William
and Mary, an act was passed encour-
aging the manufacture Of spirits.
Soon after, intemperance and profit
gacy prevailed to such an extent that
the retailers in Intoxicating drinks put
up signs in public places informing the
people that they might getidrunk for
penny, and have some straw to get
sober on. W 2e W sggN1h
In the 10Th century, distilled spirits
spread over the continent Of Europe.
About this time it was introduced into
the colonies, as the United States
were then called. The first notice We
have Of its use in public life, was
among the laborers in the Hungarian
mines in the 18th century. In175I,
it was used by the English soldiers as
a cordial. The alcohol in EuroTewas
made of grapes, and sold in Italy and
Spain as medicine. The Genoese
afterwards made it from grain and
sold it as medicine in bottles, under
the name Of the water of life. Until
the 10Th century, it had only been
kept by apothecaries as medicine.
During the reign of Henry VII,
brandywas introduced into:Ireland, d,and
soon its alarming effect induced the
Government to pass law prohibiting
its manufacture.
About 100 years ago it was used as
beverage, especially among the sOl-
diers in the English colonies in North
America, under the preposterous no7
ton that it prevented sickness and
made men fearless on the field Of bat
tie. 1t was looked upon as sove-
reign specific. Such is a brief sketch
Of the introduction of alcohol into So
ciety as a beverage. The history Of.
it is written in the wretchodness, the
tears, the groans, poverty and murder
Of thousands. 1t has marched the
land with the tread of giant, leav-
ing the impress Of his footsteps in the
bones, sinew, and ife's blood Of the
people.

~ Next to Sancho's eulogy Of
sleep, the subjoined, by Goethe, is the
best we ever read:

good fortune, unbidden and unen-
treated. Thou loosest the knots Of

all images of joy and griefl Unhini
dered, the circle Of internal harnoI

pleasing frenzy, we sink down and

wWe find the following disserta-

ES we ma Cne lolloWlng Olsserta-
ton in the Louisville COwrier:'
"Brevity is the soul of wit. So it
is of dimity. Who ever knew a short
woman that wasn't full Of honey,
poetry, and the very essence Of love?
Small bundles Of dry goods and great
humanity go together, just as natural
as gutta percha, dough nuts, and bad
digestion"
This sounds to us much like the
albany DutchmGn. Little women must
feel comforted with such fattery.
