And pcrlni; me, before closing, 90 aal q
one more suggestion 10 the friends Of tenn
pcrance. We have seen that all thai the
law can DO, or can properly undertake to do
10 Ibis work, Is 10 prevent the frgg'c in in
toxicating drinks, Ito shut up the place. OF
by which the young and old arc
lurel 70 destruction, Temperance, as Il
virtue, as principle Of action which ought
TO have It's place in cycp heart, Is promoted
only by moral means,-by appeals TO the
intellect and 10 the conscience; and here
there viii always be room for effort, How
cYereGactual good law msy be in remov-
ing temptation, Il will no, obyiate the no
ccssity of other instrumcntaliiies by which
the evils Of inlemperanco are kept before
the minds Of our youth, ana they arc led in
iellgenily to choose the ways of Virtue,
and siun the pa;ha of The destroyer There
will always be occasion for active and un-
wccried effa,t to promote healthy pubic
sontiman. upon this subject. Moral inhu-
cnccs can by no means be neglected, even
though government docs all that is properly
within is province. Wherever our inilu-
cnce extend Therefore. it sAon'a 90 to the
formation and cstablishnont Of strictly tenn
ponnce principles. Whatsoever things
are true, whatsoever things arc honest,
whatsoever things are Just, whatsoever
thipgs are pure, whatsoever things are love-
Is, whatsoever things are of good report, il
there be sny virtue, and II there be any
praise, hink Of these things;' talk Of these
things, practice these things; teach them
to your children and your neighburs, by
precepi and BY example an3 do all that
in you lies TO have the "a and the yonng
Individually rooted aid grounded IN the
truth, and in the practice of an honorable
and yirtuous life.
Marriages In massaehuse;t. in 1852.
Thc Boston Journll gives The following
synopsis ofr report annually made in Mrs
sachusetts:
"Ii.e number Of marriages in sic State
dnring the last year was II 96d-,he returns
indicating constant increase from year
TO year. The report states that the yiiii
tions in the number Of marriages IN any
given community FRA series ofyears mark
the relative prosperity Of the people during
that period Thus amy serious or cxtcn-
ded callnlty--as war, famine, severe NOR
tality, rise in provisions, or low wages, IN
vafiab.y p.oluc . n decrease ofm uri1gcs
and their opposItes as peace, plenty, general
health, &c, also progression in scientific
discoveries and Inventions, hsyc the effect
TO increasa mitriinonill alliances. lnthe
reports Of the Registrar General Of Eng
land, Major GRAHAM most clearly demon
stratas "th1t it is fir deduction from
the facts tha, the mirriage returns in Eng.
land point ont periods Of national pros,
perity little less distinctly than funds msa-
ket. If the one is the barometer Of credit
sure the hopes and fears Of the money mar.
the other is the barometer OF prosperity.'-
Dnringa period Of even five years, next
previous to the year 1850, one fourth Of the
females married were under 90 years oi
age, which number is fllecn times greater
than Of males ofthe same arc. In England,
only oigt, in the hundred Of male, and tllir-
teen in the hundred offemales marry dur
ing then minority. The annual marriages
during the three years, in the common
wealth, were in the proportion Of one 70
l0J Of the lahlbiians.
In England, the annual average Of mar
iiages IS one IN I30, in France and Austria
it is one u l23 in Prussia, one in 10.
