the 'West Milford Union Temperance So
clety," was requested to prepare some
remarks on the utility Of such Societies,
and the evil of The liquor traffic. to be pub
lshcd in your paper.
The benefits OF such organizations ap-
pears obvious. Social intercourse is the
grea. magnet that keeps society together,
and without this Sucrl intercourse there
would be no community of feeling, and
every individual would be governed by Ut
ter seltishness.
Society has Leen aptiy compared to a
heap of emberS, which when separated,
la0guish, darken and expire, but il placed
together, glow with an intense and ruddy
Leaf, just emblem Of the strength, hap.
piness, and security derived from the
union of mankind. The savage who new
er knew the blessings Of combination. or
he who quits society from apathy or mis-
anthropic spleen. are like the separated
embers. daik, dead, and useless-they
give not, nor receive heut-neither love,
nor are loved.
10 what acts Of heroism, virtue and be-
nevoIence, in any age and nation, has not
lie impetus Of social affection and comb
nation given rise ? TO what gloomy mis-
cry and despair has not the disseriion Of
society led ? How often, in the busy
haun 5 Of men, are all our noblest and zen
Ilesl virtues called forth, and how, in the
bp>om Of the secluse, do all these soft emo
tionr l,n5uish and die?
1t Is lGe decree of heaven, that The cx-
elusive selfish man Shall be miserable even
in this world As he never. riycs Iowa Tn
