Drinking Among Young Men.

Drinking Among Young Men.
Indiscriminate drinking among young
our young men eventually makes its mark
upon the population of our cities. We can
see it betraying itself in the rising genera
tion. It is impossible for any man to
drink even pure liquor six or seven times a
day without suffering severely in consti-
tuition. And when be transmits this i'm
paired constitution to his son, who in turn
impairs it still further, by same course, it
requires little foresight to see that we are
preparing population for our cities that
will not, in physical frames be much bet
ter than the wretched Aztecs. This love
of drink and bar rooms is every day in
creasing. Every day sees fresh saloons
starting up in our midst. Every day sees
our youth becoming more and more the
victims of this habit, for we really think it
more habit than perversion. 1t is no
love for joviality that tempts them except
in few cases. 1t is not the hot exurber
of youth. 1t is not the evanescent impulse
of the gay young fellow who is sowing his
sswiid oats" 1t is, as has been said, cold
deliberate, confirmed habit. No atmos-
phere of reckleseness or jollity surrounds
the drinking groups, except on occasions,
and no peals of merriment atone for the
act, by proving that it is at least unusual.
A grim and melancholy air pervades each
countenance.
The drinks are poured out, the glasses
raised and touched with loathsome air
ofcustom, and each man swallows his por-
ton with the same impassive countenance
be would wear if be were drinking glass
of plain water. All the concomitants that
partially redeemed or excused, are wanting
in this sad and formal ceremony. The ac-
tors drink, not because they love it, and
want to be merry, but because they have
been accustomed to it ever since they were
boys, and that it has now become habit
which is more imperious than if it were
passion.

The reused chief sat down on the So
ia once more. He seemed conscious of
his passion, and uncomfortable. He
was silent. His wrath began to sub
side; he at length said, in an altered
voice,-"This must not 60 beyond this

longer one--when he said, in a tone
quite low, General st. Clair shall

the dispatches, saw the whole disaster,

him without prejudice; he shall have
full justice"
He was now, said Mr.. Lear, perfect

The storm was overJ and no sign of it
was afterwards seen in his conduct, or
heard in his conversation. The result
is known. The whole case was inves-
tigated by Congress. st. Clair was
exculpatcd and fegeined the confidence
Washington had in him when he APP
pointed him to that command. He
had put himselfinto the thickest of the
fight and escaped unhurt, though so ill
as to be carried on a litter, and unable
to mount his horse without help.

True Saving,

Some one with great Propriety and
truth, has said, The aoay OF every man
is declared by the end of that man.
The proof Of this is furnished in our
daily observation and experience. Great
and sudden changes of character and
conduct are not common. Tho habits
OF rniser are apt 10 become confirmed
and inveterate. The cheat goes on
cheating as a general thing to the end
of life. The intemperate man but sci.
dom gives up his cups. The gamester
has strong passion for desperate haz-
ards the longer he follows them. The
man of petulent irascible temper, be.
comes more and more a pest TO all a.
round him. Envy urges to hatred, jeal.
ousy to revenge, hatred to deeds of Vi
olence and blood. Peivorse habits,
spiteful malignant feelings. are with
great difficulty checked. The first dc.
liberate wrong step, often leads to devi.
Gus paths aud to deep labyrinths offol.
ly and sin. The foul murder is not tho
sudden outbfeaking OF pent up passion.
Away back in the history Oft wretch.
ed culprit, was the incipient develope.
ment of that maturity in crime at which
we shuddef. The moral Of all this
we need not draw out 1t is snggest
i've and impressive to every rejecting
