of a letter from Washington to one of his
overseers. The Temperance cause" as
such, had not been heard Of in the days
Of Washington; he was "moderate
drinker." but he was "down on intem.
perance. Here is the way he talks to his
oyerseer.
IL shall not close this letter without
exhorting you to refrain from spurious
liquors; they will prove your ruin if you
do not. Consider how little drunken
man differs from beast; the latter is moi
endoSe with reason the former deprives
himself Of it, and when that is the case,
acts like a brute, annoying disturbing
every one around him; nor is this all,
nor as il respects himself, the wors, Of it

not only unable to serve others, but tC

bu t one inch between wreck and smooth
rolling prosperity"
"Wnen flowers are full of Heaven-de-
scended dews, they always hang their
heads but men hold theirs the higher the
more they receive, getting proud as they
get full"
"Not parties, but principles. Let US be
of no party but Gods party, and use all
other agencies as we use railroad cars,
travelling upon one train as far as it will
take US in the right direction, and then
leaving it for another"
GA man may aspire, and yet be quite
content until it is time to rise. A bird
that sits patiently while it broods its eggs,
flies bravely afterwards, leading up its
timid young. And both flying and resting
are but parts Of one contentment. The
very fruit of the Gospel is aspiration. 1t
is to the human heart what Spring is to
the earth making every root, and bud,
and bough, desire to be more."
"The aster has not wasted Spring and
Summer because it has not blossomed. 1t
has been all the time preparing for what
is to follow, and in Autumn it is the glory
of the field, and only the frost lays it low.
So there are many people who must live
forty or fifty years. and have the crude SAP
of their natural dispositions changed and
sweetened, before the blossoming time car
come but then life has not been wasted.
