The GIFTS OF, GoD.'-Intoxicating
liquors are sometimes spoken of as the
Gifts of God The Albany Register
replies;
"But are these intoxicating drinks the
Gifts of God?' We deny it. We af-
firm that in all the world-nay, in all
the universe of God, there is not lake,
a river, a streamlet or fountain, of in
toxicating drinks. There is no such
thing in nature. Water, God has every
where given, spread it all over the
world, sent it down from the clouds,
sent it bubbling up from the earth,
made it journey in ceaseless activity in
rills and streams and great rivers, to-
wards the ocean. He has, wherever
man can live, given it to him at his very
door, but intoxicating drinks he has
provided no where on the face Of the
whole earth. That gift whether
good or evil, is not the gift Of God,
but the invention of man-an invention
that has destroyed more lives, desolated
more homes, occasioned more sorrow
and anguish, than war, pestilence and
famine combined. 1t may by many be
thought questionable policy to deprive
men of the use of it by Legislative en-.
actment. but to call intoxicating drinks
the Good gift of God is an abuse Of
terms, and burning reproach against
the beneyolenee and holy attributes OF
the Deity"

! GEN. HoUsToN's WIFE.-The New
York Recorder, in allusion to the state
ment that Gen. Houston had been bap-
tized and had united with the Baptist
church, says:
We presume the above statement TO
be correct. Mrs. Houston, an intelli.
gent and excellent lady, has for a long
time been an exemplary member Of a
Baptist church, and her husband con-
slant and interested attendant upon
public worship in connection with the
same denomination. With increasing
years his personal interest IN the sub
ject Of religion has increased and, his
manly defense of the Christian clergy in
the Senate Of the United States. when
they were rudely assailed, will not soon
be forgotten. We presume we are not
violating confidence in stating that
when seperate from Mrs. Houston by
public duties at Washington, General
Houston maintains regular correspon-
dence with her upon religious subjects.

THE ENEMY'S FLAG.

t'What injusticel What insolence!"
These words were uttered by lovely
woman, whose flushed cheek, flashing
eye, and knitted brow, spoke even more
than the words of the indignation which
filled her heart. She was the young
wife of Commodore Coe, the com
mander of the small navy of Monte
video. The lady was Spanish by birth
as well as feelings, and the cause of her
anger was the sight of ST.. p which
had been for two days standing off and
on before the harbor, using every species
of insult and defiance to induce the ves-
sci of the commodore to come out and
fight him. This the latter could not do
for two reasons; the first was illness
which confined him to his cot, the Sc
cond, that he had not one-third of a
crew, and not even men eaough 30 man
his battery.
At the moment when she uttered the
words which commence this sketch,
Capt. Brown, the commander of the
Buenos Ayrian ship, had hoisbed flag,
whereen' was painted in large characters
the insulting inscription, 'Coe, the Cow
ard This was more than bis noble
and fiery wife could stand, for she well
knew her husbands truth and valor.-
After gazing for one instant at the flag,
she raised her jewelled hand, and taking
off diamond ring of great value, ex-
claimed to the men who stood around
her on the deck -s g.. 81"
Il will give this diamond to any man
who will bring me yonder flag
For moment there was no response.
The men looked at their officers, the
officers glanced at each other, but vol
unteers seemed scarce.
sWhat! is there not one of all of you
who dare the trial? Is my husbands
ship indeed manned with cowards?' ex-
claimed the lady, her beautiful lips curl
ing with scorn, and her flashing eye
cleaning with the fire of contempt.
A young officer, an Englishman, who
had been lately appointed, stepped for
ward, and said ash ,e .isi
4 was only waiting for my seniors to
speak, sonora. Had any one of them
volunteered, 1 should have begged to
accompany him. As it is, ! pledge
myself to bring you yondef flag before
the sun rises again, or to die. But 1
ask not your jewel as prize to my sue
cess; one tress of your glossy hair shall
be my reward
You shall have both, brave boy re-
Piled the lady, and her look Of cold
scorn changed into sweet smile as she
asked his name. Z q

H The London Week.

TT The London weekly Times
speaking Of President Pierce's last an
nual message,-says: at seems scarcely
credible that, when great war is being
waged between freedom and despotism,
the chosen representative of a great
and free nation like the United States
addresses his people at length upon the
subject, but scrupulously avoids word
which may be construed to express a
sympathy with the cause Of freedon.-
To this has it come, that the country Of
Washington has less courage, less gen
erosity, than a poor little province ike
Piedmont Both are neutral; yet the
Sandman statesmen express their SYM
pathy with the good old cause without
eyincing tremor or even hesitation
