TEMPERANCE REvIvALs.-There seems to
be a general waking up in behalfof the cause
of Temperance, all over New England in
particular, and there seemsto be far less dit
6culty in enforcing the laws against all sorts
of driukiug-houses than formerly. This is
exceedingly encouraging. We hope soon to
see the time when there will be just as lit
tie feeling against the enforcement OF any la"
against the crime of rum.selliug as against
the enforcement of the law against any other
crimes. At the rate change has been going

sis FATHER HERE PA young man
came into a city station house yesterday at
tcruoon, aud inquired: sis father here r.
81 do not know-what is his name?' said
the Lieutenant on duty. The name was
given. and the record exhibited, with "drunk
and disorderly" attached as the charge.
"Cau I see him a moment-he is my faith
err" yes, was the response, and the young
man was conducted to the iron cage where
the father had been confined since morning,
now sobered in his right mind. "Father,"
said the young visitor, "Jans is 7ead''-
And the young man choked at the sentence,
while the strong nerved father vented his
grief in tears and loud expressions of sor-
row. .
While the sister and daughter lay upon
her dying bed, the father had INDUCED in
liquid rotations that dethroned reason, and
had been arrested and confined in the station
house. The son asked for his release, and
the kind-hearted officer opened his prison
door, and with a word of comfort and warn
ing set him free. Such are some of the daily
scenes a ~olocal" meets with, in his daily
rounds Cincinnati Gazette.

The Power OF ALcoHoL.-Let men
learn its power, and act wisely on that learn
ing. Let them know and remember that
it has vast powers as poison-to be dreaded
BY all those who would live and let live ;
great power too as a medicine-in small
quantities and skillfully employed; much
power as a luxury, but of a p%erilous kind no
power as food, save only in occasional emer-
g~eucies no power to sustain or refresh a man,
under either bodily or mental labor-and let
them abolish the term Refreshments" in its
ordinary alcoholic sense, as a most foul and
fallacious misnomer no power to afford con-
tinued and systematic protection against ex-
tremes of either cold or heat no power to
avert disease, but power almost infinite to
produce it no power to cherish old age, but
only to cripple and oenfoupd it no power to
prolong life, but power to both hasten and
embitter its ending no power to strengthen
the morals of the mind, but power to debase,
if not destroy the one, and weaken and per-
vert the other a power to produce crime,
and minister to vice, beyond what pen can
write or tongue can tell-"sensual, devilish."
Let them know its power, and fear It,

The HAB1TUAL USE OF SpIRITs.-The
British and Foreign Medico MirurgacaI
Review shows that the habitual use of spirits
arrests that metamorphosis of tissue which
is necessary for health, leaving the efete
tissue as a useless burden in the body, to be
converted into that least vitalized of all the
organic constituents, oil and fat, till finally
life itself is clogged at the fountain-head.-
Thousands of men, according to the Reuaeac,
who have never been inebriated, annually
perish, having shortened their lives by tip
ping a little every day. The dram arrests
the metamorphosis Of tissue; another dram
is taken before this arrest ceases; the reac'
ton. thus postponed, becomes more intense;
the depression is excessive; more drains are
taken and so, in the end, without ever hav'
ing been intoxicated, the tippler sinks into
his grave, the. victim of ardentspirits.
