TO CORRESPONDENTS.
Communications ere frequently received by us
which do not appear in columns for the Tea-
son that the name of the author is not attached.
The rule adopted by long since, is 10 publish
communication unless accompanied by the name
of the writer By this do not mean that the
writer's name must be attached to the article for
publication or that it must be known TO the pub
lie who the writer is, but simply that the name
must accompany the communication, that may
know who is responsible for such original matter
as appears in columns.
We have communication now before us which
would appear entire, had the writer observed this
rule. The writer after describing, in a very pa
thetic manner the value she places upon ring,
bestowed as pledge of plighted affection by one
who now sleeps beneath the ocean wave,' closes
as follows:
Il know that my Henry sleeps his last sleep
piilowed in the ocean depths. No marble slab
marks his resting place, it IS registered on high
The mourns his funeral iirge-the winds
sigh his requiem. Reader, have been led TO seek
consolation of Him who has promised he will
heal the wounded heart, and have been enable to
10 meet him again, not the shores of mortality,
but safely harbored in the haven of eternal rest
The inhdel and the skepqc would rob me of this
hope but they cannot-they SHALL not. Nay, I
will meet him again. But this ring-oh, | will
wear it Sweet menento OF past happiness
| will wear thee Thou shalt become a part of
myself. From thee | will never part; and when
| 90 10 the grave, thou shalt go with me, and
when this dust becomes terminated, If allowed,
will wear thee still. NJ"

tine Empire The Vaudois and Religion in Italy;
Curiosties Of the Census The Oxform Reform
Bill How to stop Drunkenness Old English
Songs; Diet and Dress; The Electric Telegraph
The arti sic upon the remedy for Drunkenness is
one of much interest The conclusions arrived
at BY the author the same as experience has
forced upon the mind CT every careful observer in
this country, to wit: Prohibition is the only rem
ely Statistics are given showing that in several
OF the cities in En- gland, the law requiring liquor
houses to close Sunday evening has tended to
decrease the amount of drunkenness about 81 per
cent !" TEN ptaton,r says the writer, " l believe
To be the principal cause OF most of the ntem-
rerance.' The same IS true in this county
While we cannot expect TO prevent, entirely, the
evils Of intemperance, the removal of the induce
ments 70 drink, by closing the dram shops, will in
great measure prove efiectual.
