the bill.
It will thus be seen that Mr. GnMER, who
spoke and voted against the Senate bill, join
ed the majority of his American colleagues
on the final proposition. 1t is much to be re-
GREETED that the American Representatives
from Maryland and Kentucky, did not follow
his example and make the American vote
unit, as ii ought to have been. They chose,
however, to separate from their party friends
and theirs is the responsibility. If, as we an
ticipate, the bill shonld settle the question,
and Kansas be admitted as a slave State, the
South will be indebted in great measure to
the Southern Americans who have been firm
under every phase of the controversy.
Messrs. BoNHAM, of S. c., and QUTTMAN of
Mis-. are the Southern democrats who voted
against the bill.

NJ. EDITOR : AT meeting of certain
Division, not thousand miles, from your
sanctans,"a proposition was, submitted to
distribute ten copies of.the Esprit of the
Age, ," to persons not Sons Of. Temperance.
Several of the members strongly, advoea-
ted the measure as likely TO-. produce. the
besS results, for it might probably effect
the redemption Of few, or even one, from
the CALLING bonds of intemperauce, aside
from the support it would be giving. tie

members arose, and denounced the plan,
as trap to decey the unsuspeeting into
the Division. Forsooth, and if it were,
what oft! If it were trap to lure per-
son to drink, and finally gil drunkard's
grave, then he might denounce it, but to
oppose movement which has for its OBJ
ject the dissemination of our principles, as
Temperance men, is an outrage upon com.
mon sense.
His argument was alet man become
convinced himself, upon sober reflection
of his error, and not. be secretly sending
him the Spirit Of the Age" to trap him.
Is not such as this absolutely ridiculous
absurd. Bring up child, with the ide.
that drinking intoxicating liquors is no

THE ABSTINENCE REFORMATION
BY scRUTAToR.
No. 3.


1t is supposed, however, by mankind in
general, and physicians in particular, that
alcohol is very valuable, and by no means
to be dispensed with as remedial agent. In
the first place it is considered good stom-
achic, to aid digestion and hence the old
habit of taking a morning dram before
breakfast. But it will be found that this
is grand mistake, and a fallacious error.
Instead of assisting, it actually impedes d.
gestion, and destroys, the stomach's capac-
ity for performing this function normally.
Digestion is brought about by the gastric
juices seereted from the coats of the stom-
ach and the power of this fluid to di-
gest, is due to two. constituent principles !;
an acid-probably chlorohydric, and an
organic, azotized compound, called pepsin.
Without this pepsin, in its normal state.
digestion cannot take place. Alcohol how
ever, when taken into the stomach, ,1recip-
itGtes this pepsin from its soluble, active
form, to solid, inert condition and hence
must, so long as it remains in the stomach,
be direct and formidable antagonist to
digestion.
But it is chiefly owing to the stimula-
ting properties of alcohol, that it is priced
ard prescribed by the physicians. And
what is stimplationl 1t is nothing more
nor less than the general commotion of the
system in mastering up its every vital en-
ergy to combat an enemy. Alcohol being,
in every sense of the word, inimical to all
the vital fluids and structures of the phys
ical organism, is, when taken into the vi.
tai domain, resisted with an energy proper
tionate to its chemical and physiological in.
compatibility and the different fluids and
structures suffer in, the ratio of their inca.
pacity for vital restance. Thus the brair
: and nerves suffer in an eminent degree, be
cause alcohol has an intense chemical af
/ finity for them, at the same time that they
) possess but little power Of resistance. The
, blood too, suffers in a no less degree, for 8
/ like reason. The muscular tissue suffers
' least, because possessed of greater power

''Mid pleasures and palaces where'er weroam,

''Mid pleasures and palaces where'er weroam,
Be it ever so humble, there is no place like
home"
Home is there not magic in the very
word 1t speaks of boyhood's happy home,
when the future looked soIbright before US
and the past was but pleasant memory.
Home It's there mothers haIlowed
smile and fathers kind voice first twine
themselves about our hearts, to grow With
our growth and strengthen with our
strength. Beneath our fathers roof around
the cheerful freside we painted bright
dreams of the future-dreams long since
dissolved, and proved to US what airy
things they were. Home! How little we
know of its value until it is lost to us. The
traveller on the far off desert, his lips parch-
ed with thirst, with no friend near to cheer
and comfort him upon that dreary waste,
allows his memory to wander far back in
the past to his own dear land and the old
hearthside, where he has so often received
his brothers and sisters smiles and his pa
rents fond looks of love. How keenly he
feels the loss of that dear old home, and
with his heart full to overfowing his
his brains reeling, he sinks upon the burn
ing sands and family murmurs, "Home
sweet home" The poor mariner, while
clinging to the wreck upon the painless
ocean, with no friendly sail ia sight, and
with but little hope of being rescued from
his perilous situation, goes back in memory
to the old home by the hillside aud wan
! ders again over the scenes of boyhood.

There is a little bird that sings
Sweetheart 7"
know not what his name may be;
only know his notes please me,
As loud he sings-and thus sings he--
Sweetheart ls
PEe heard him sing on soft spring days
s'Sweetheartp p
And when the sky was dark above,
And wintry-winds had stripped the grove,
He still poured forth those words Of love
''Sweetheart" !" -
And, like that bird, my heart. too, sinrs--
Sweetheart
When heaven is dark, or bright or blne,
When trees are bare, or leaves are new,
1t thus sings on-and sings Of you
Sweetheart p
What need of other words than thess--
"Sweetheartp
If l should sing whole year long,
My love would not be shown more strong
Than by this short and simple song
