PRoTRACTED TEMPERANCE MEETINGS.
We would urge upon the friends Of tenn
perancc throughout the State to hold protrac-
ted temperance meetings in their several
localities. Let them be held for several nights
in succession, or every other night for week
or more. The novelty of the enterprise will
call the people out to hear, and that is what
is needed. Let the subject be full discuss
ed, and some good will necessarily result
The subject must be kept before the people
if we would have the cause advanced, They
must be informed minds must be ex-
erciscd upon it-tley must be convinced be-
fore they will cooperate in the advancement
of the cause This can be effected in nc way SO
we'll as that of holding frequent public meet
ings and having the people addressed upon
this very important matter. But, says one,
the holding Of so many public meetings in
wolves good portion Of our time and would
be attended with some expense. We were
made to work, and nothing truly great is
ever achieved without labor. Let us labor;
the field is white unto the harvest-the fear
full tread of the giant intemperance never
dies away-aud the roaring tide ever dark
ened with the shattered wrecks of homes,
hearts and hopes. Let US labor earnestly
for a better state of things. Try frequent
public meetings, and let the temperance gos-
pei be proclaimed earnestly and fearlessly.

A GLASS OF BRANDY.

1t can't hurt any body! Why, know a
person, yonder he is now, specimen Of
manly beauty, a portly six-footer. He mas
the bearing Of prince, for he is one CT oar
merchant princes. His face wears the hue
Of health, and now at the age of fifty odd, he
has the quick elastic step of our young mer
of twenty five, and none more full OF mIrth
and wit than he, and know he never dimes
without brandy and water, and never goes
to bed without a tcrranin or oyster supper:
with plenty of champagne and more than
that, he was never known to be drunk. SO
here is living ex.mple and disproof OF the
temperance twaddle about the dangerous na-
turc of an occasional glass, and the dcstruc-
tive effect of a temperate use of good liquors.
Now it so happened that this specimen Of
safe brandy drinking, was Il relation OF ours
He died year or two after that, OF chron-
ic diarrhcca, common end Of those who are
never drunk, nor ever out of liquor. He
left six children; and he had ships at every
sea and credit at every counter, which he
never had occasion to use.
For mouths before he died was year
in dyiug-he could eat or drink nothing
without distress, and at death, the Whole
almenrary canal was mass of disease; in
the midst of his millions he died of inatten-
ton. That is not tie half, reader. He had
been stea.y driuker, daily drinker for
twenty eight years. He left legacy to his
children, which he did not mention Scrot-
ula had eaten upon one daughter for fifteen
years another in the mad house; the third
and fourth of uuearthly beauty, there was a
kind of grandeur in that beauty; and they
blighted, and paled and faded into heaven
we trust in their sweetest teens; another Is
tottering on the verge of the grave, and the
only one is left with all the senses, and each
Of them is weak as water. Why, we came
from the dissecting room, and made note
of it, it was so horrble.-MWs Journal Of

STILL HOUSE MALARIA.-The pestlfer-
Gus influences of n Distilery are manifest in
every neighborhood where such an establish
ment exists. The walls, the roof, the win
dows, the og-pens, the grounds, the vege-
tatiou, all proclaim that blightiug mildew
and death are there. \ handsome distillery
cannot be found in all the western country.
The very architecture Of the buildings ap-
pears to be from the inferna! regions. The
blasting influences are apparent upon those
who are officiating within, as we'll as their
families and neighborhood. On approaching
one of these chambers of perdition, the
fences, farms, windows, everything betokens
the thriftlessness and decentralization of
the people. The children are ragged and
ignorant, the men are idle and protane, the
Sabbath is disregarded, morality and reli.
gion are below par
Heaven pity all decent people whose lots
are cast in the vicinity of a stilhouse. The
stencil and filth around the place are pretty
fair type Of the moral condition of the nei igh-
borhood Crusader.

Sir WALTER R,LElGH-l1is pipe often
furnished Ralei sh with an opening for dis
playing his ready wit to the queen. 0 C
day he was couvcrsing on the singular prop,
critics of the new herb.
Il can assure your majesty Sd j he, that
have so well experienced the nature of 1t,
that can tell even the weight Of the smoke
in any quantity consume.
i doubt it much, Sir Walter, replied
Elizabeth, thinking only of the impractica-
bility OF weighing smoke in a balance, 'and
will wager you twenty angles that you do not
solve my doubt
A quantity was agreed upon to be thor
oughly sucked Carefully preserving the
ashes, Raleigh weighed these with great ex-
actness, and what was deficient of the origi-
nal weight, he gave as the result.
Your majesty said he, 'cauuot deny that
the difference hath been evaporatcd in
smoke.
Truly cannot answered the queen
Tren turning to those around her, who had
been amused by Raleigh's calculations, she
continued in aIusion to the alchemists, then
very numerous, Many laborers in the fire |
have heard of, who turned their gold into
smoke, but Ralci Oh is the first man who has
turned smoke into goli.'
