Col. Benton ON DIssIPArIoN.--A short time ago
Col Benton delivered lecture In Boston, before
the Apprentices Library Association. The New
York tribune says:
He opened it by giving. in a kindly, character
istic style. some very good advice TO young men
in general and apprentices in particular. They
saw before them, he remarkC d, person who had
attained an age past the limit which the Psalm
ist assigns to the line OF life and now upon those
years which the same Psalmist associates with
sorrows and weakness. Thus far he was exempt
from those infrmties. How came it at this ad-
vanced age he was blessed with the absence of
those lrmites-which are supposed to belong
to it? He owed it to the course Of his early life.
Franklin (whom he warmly eulogzed) was once
nicknamed the American Aquatic, because he
drank nothing but water. Ia that respect he
had initiated Franklin. lie totally abstaGed for
the first half Of his life and was temperate the
other half He had not only totally abstained
from spurious liquors, vinous liquors, fermented
liquors, and everything of the kind, but he had
kept himself free from every kind of dissipation.
TApplause.l He knew no game whatever and
to this moment could not tell, when looking at a
party playing cards, which was the loser and
which the winner. lie had often set up all night
watching the sick, on military duty, and boob,

elers, either by land or sea- to miners and others
whose occupation calls for severe muscular action
these Bitters will be fouud Of invaluable service
The high standing of DIR. GREGORY, the d.cov-
erer was the first guarantee of its superior excel
lence, its own uncqualled merits has since estab-
lished for it a worldwide celebrity. DR.. Gregory
has for years been at the head of the Medical
Faculty in London, and twice President of the
London College Of Physicians and Surgeons
These Bitters are composed Of carefully select
ed roots of a fine tonic characte and the choicest
brands of French Brandies, making them an
agreeable and palatable stimulent, as well as a
healthful appetiser So generally are their mer-

The Agitator of 1897.


The following stirring lines are from the speech
of Henry Clay, delivered in the House of Repre-
sentatives Jan. 20, 1927:
We are accused of doing mischief by the agi
tation of this question. Collateral consequences
we are not responsible for
1t is not this society which has produced the
great moral revolution which the age exhibits
What would they, who thus rcproach us, have
done? If they would rcpress all tendencies to-
wards liberty and ultimate emancipation, they
must do more than put down the benevolent eff
forts Of this society. They must so back to that
era of our liberty and independence, and muz
zle the cannon which thunders its annual Joyous
return. They must revive the slave trade and
all the attendant atrocities. They must suppress
the workings of British philanthropy, seeking to
ameliorate West India slaves They must blow
out the moral lights around us and cxtinguish
the greatest torch of all the world, which Amer
lea presents to benighted world, pointing the
way to their rights, liberties, and their happiness
And when they have achieved all these purposes
their work will be yet incomplete. They must
penetrate the human soul and eradicate the light
of reason and the love of liberty. Then, and not
till them when universal darkness and despair
prevail can you perpetuatc slavery and repress
all sympathies, and all humane and benevolent
efforts among freemen, in behalf of the unhappy
portion of our race doomed to bondage
