when the faculties of the mind are over.
turned, what means can the unhappy person
use, or what course can another take with
him, to set him right? To attempt to reform
a confirmed drunkard is much the same as
preaching to madman or an idiot Rea-
son, the help of the mind once DESTROYED.
nothing remains wherewith to steer it. It
must then be left to run adrift.
The very apologies made for this beastly
vice are deplorable. One excuses himself by
being obliged to keep company. But it Is
notorious, that nothing more effecutually dis
qualities a man for company than to have his
tongue tied, and his brain stupeHed with
liquor. Anot7ee pretends that he is drawn
by his business, or way of life, to taverns
andplaces- of entertainment. Buta man must
have never seen person drunk, to imagine
that strong liquor will help him in driving
bargain. For one is never so likely to be
imposed on as he is in liquor. Nor is pre-
tense of drinking TO drive away care, or to
cheer the spirits, more worthy of rational
creature.
If, by the force of strong liquor, a man g
cares may be mechanically banished and
his conscience lulled asleep awhile; they
will soon break loose upon him with greater
fury. He, who artifcially raises his spirits
by drinking, will find them sink in proper
Glon. linen tney must be raised again: and
SO on, till he has no spirits to raise. For
understanding, and fortune, and virtue, and
health, all fall before this fell destroyer
Nor is the pretence of being odious or
precise among neighbors, for living temper
ately, any better than the others. Alas, we
are not hereafter to stand or fall by the opin-
ions of our neighbors. Besides we may be
sure Of the favorable opinion of the sober
part of our acquaintance, by keeping on the
right side; the APPRECIATION of one Of whom
is preferable to that of a thousand drunkards.
OF all the kinds of intemperance, modern
times have produced tho most fatal, which
like plague lays waste both town and coun-
try, sweeping the lower part of the people,
nor these only, by thousands to the grave
The unhappy invention intended, and which
by its mischieyous effects seem to claim Sa-
tan himself for its author, is the drinking of
Jernaented liquors. This is no place for set
ting forth the destructive effects of this most
shocking species of debauchery. This it is
hoped will soon be the subject of Legislative
inquiry; and that the accounts tragical
enough to melt heart Of rock, which will be
laid before that august body, will be the
cause of producing an efectual remedy fol
this ruinous national evil.

Whilst attending to his duties he received
letter from his mother-in-law, Mrs. Les
ter saying that Fannie was very i'll and
that he must hurry home. He immediate
ly returned, but as he reached his house
poor Fannie breathed her last With a
heart almost broken he followed her to the
grave, and returned home after the burial,
with feelings akin to despair. He conclu-.
ded to remain housekeeping, so he took
Mrs. Lester home with him to see to his
affairs, and after resigning his seat in the
Senate, he commenced teaching his little
child, little Fannie, an exact counterpart
of her mother. Some time after, Freder-
lex Seabury, having exhausted all that
Mary received from her parents, who were
now dead, died and filed drunkard's S
grave. He was high minded, intelligent
man, capable Of filling with honor any of
flee which might have been conferred on
him, but for that fault of loving the wine
cup too we'll Think of this young men
of America, you whose brows fame may
crown with laurel you whose eloquence
may hold Senates enchained you whose
statesman-like abilities may be admired all
over the civilized world think of this,
and remember that aoiee IS mocker p
After the death of Fannie, Charles enter
tained no idea Of marrying again, and
when Mary became a widow none of his
former love returned but seeing that she
was in destitute circumstances, he resolved
that she should never want for anything
whilst he had purse to command Their
spirits have departed to the spirit-land,
and Charles and Fannie are reposing side
By side, whilst the green grass and the
pretty flower annually blooms over their
graves On the return of Spring. Requies-

Mr.. EDITOR In looking over some old
volumes few days back, came across the
following, which was printed in the form of
q tract-and after reading it over, thought
that it might do some good by being pub
lished over again, and therefore copied it for
your paper. IF after reading it you think it
calculated to do any good, should be very
happy to see it in the columns of your val
liable paper. j.

The FARMER-A Pretty PIcTURE.-The
man who stands upon his own soil, who feels
that by the laws of the land in which he
hves-by the laws of civilized nations-he
is the rightful and exclusive owner of the land
whichhe tills, is by the constitution of our ma
ture under wholesome influence, not easily
imoiped from any other source.-ffe feels
other things being equaI-more strongly
than another the character of man as the
lord of the innate world. OF this great and
wonderful sphere, fashioned by God and up
held by his power, a portion is his-his from
the centre of the sky. 1t is the space on
which the generation before him moved in its
round of duties, and he feels himself connect
ed with those who will follow him, and to
whom he is to transmit home.
Perhaps his farm has come down to him
from his fathers. They have gone to their
last home; but he can trace their footsteps
over the scenes of their daily labors The
roof which shelters him was reared by those
to whom he owes his being. Some interes-
ting domestic tradition is connected with ey-
cry enclosure. The favorite fruit-tree was
planted by his fathers hand. He sported in
his boyhood beside the brook which still winds
through the meadow. Through the fields
lies the path to the village school of earlier
days. He still hears from his window the
voice of the Sabbath bell, which called his
father and forefathers to the house of God;
and near at hand is the spot where his pa
rents are laid to rest and where, when his
time is come, he shall be laid by his children.
These are the feeling of an owner of the soil.
Words cannot paint them-gold cannot buy
them they flow out of the deepest fountains
of the heart; they are the hfe-spring of
fresh, healthy, and generous national charac-
ter.

RESTORING THE DRowNED.-Mr. Z. Meri-
am, a scientific gentleman ofNew York, who
has acquired an extensive reputation by his
frequent publications in the newspapers,
publishes in the New York Herald the fol-
lowing for restoring persons apparently
drowned:
Convey the body to the nearest house or
shelter, with the head raised. Strip and rub
it dry. Wrap in warm blankets. Initiate
the lungs by closing the nostrils with the
thumb and finger, while you blow forcibly
into the mouth and then press on the chest
with the hand. Again blow in the mouth
and again press, and SO or for ten minutes,
or until the patient breathes naturally. Keep
the body warm, and the extremities also
continue to rub, and do not give up Tor an
hour or more, if there is the least hope.
To this we add-do not be discouraged if
animation is not Immediately percepHble,
but continue the effort for even two hours"

TEARS OF To-DAY.-there is tear of Joy
and grief. The tear to-day may not be for
ced by the same cause which overhowed the
eye yesterday. A tear may be sent up from
the heart by JOY or by sorrow. 1t is the
same liquid diamond in either case. A lit
tie tear drop on the cheek has language of
its own. 1t speaks to persons of all nations.
1t is interpreted readily by persons of all
countries. The tear of to-day means joy or
sorrow. The face down ich tear runs
tells whether it springs from the fountain of
joy or grief. A tear draws forth sympathy
because it is the emblem of Love, of Hope,
or of grief; our pulse beates faster, for our
heart is agitated and touched deeply. The
true feeling of the heart is seen in tear
which fingers in the eye, that little bright
window of the soul The tears of today, if
they do spring from grief, may to morrow be
wiped away by the rainbow hues of peace,
happiness and prosperity.
