What splendid scene This saloon is
magnifcently furnished! A hundred Jets
of gas burn and flash along the ceilings
Sofas, and tables, and gilded mirrors, and
paintings of art tell that this is the abode
Of wealth. Long rows Of tables, filled with
busy occupants, stretch away and are lost
amid the glitter and the throng. But what
are those persons doing? What means
this grand display? All kind friend, this
baseness Of the business are hidden by the
magic charm Of wealth. Those who would
scorn to stoop to such an action in an or
dinary saloon, here take the gilded bait,
unexpectedly. Here the old man with
his silver locks and care-worn brow bends
before the glittering shrine of mammon,
ready to stake his fortune, his life and soul
upon the turn of wheel, or the throw of
card Here the unskilled youth, allured
by the hope of wealth, sees the last dollar
which fathers hand has accumulated in
long life of toll, taken away. Good God,
how many fond mothers, how many heart
broken wives will rise up in the judgment
day, as fearful witnesses against this dark
door of damnation
There bending over that table are
two men, apparently deeply engaged. Let
us approach nearer. One is an old miser-
ly looking wretch, scantily arrayed and
his long, white locks are hanging in tangled
masses upon his shoulders. Look, how
those keen, black eyes Of his glisten with
delight, as he rakes the clanking gold to
his side What low unearthly chuckle
escapes his lips, when he cxultingly sees
despair depicted upon the countenance of
his antagonist My God is he man or
demon? Was this bright green earth Of
Thine made for the home of such beings
such devils as this 4?
!, The broad, high forehead, the finely
chiseled countenance, and the proud but
despairing look of the other tell that he
would not once have stopped to this. Hi;
q pale brow is furrowed, and his eye is sunk
en- but not with weight of years, for only
little while ago, we saw him a bridegroom
by the side of queenly bride. And ha
he this soon forgot her love? Has he Sc
: early, ceased to love the happy freside o
his Blanch Even so!
The game proceeds. His last dollar i
= upon the table. He looses. The mise
: wins. A few more games, and his home
;, and wealth are transferred to the greedy
}, claws of the withered old man. He lean
back in his chair and gazes at the robbie

TESTIMONY OF A DISTINGUISHED Man.
That distinguished Bostonian, Hon. Alb
bott Lawrence, was once. asked what had
occasioned the great increase in wealth and
prosperity in the United States. lis an
swer should be remembered "0dr pros
perity, in my opinion, is greatly owing to
the temperance reformation. Tie infiu-
ence of this movement is felt IN the work
shop, on the farm, and in every branch of
human industry. Before the temperance
reform was started, vast number Of the
farms in New England were mortgaged for
rum bills; now hardly one" Coming from,
the source it does, this testimony is of great
weight. Mr.. Lawrence is practical man,
who. understood the workings of the evil
of iutemperance as we'll as other evils. He
was not, perhaps, an abstainer himself, yet
he knew twas best for other people to alb
stain. He knew what would best promote
the welfare of society.

One BRIGHT SPoT.-Rev. j. w. Burke,
in his Lights and Shadows Of Tract
Agent" chapters of which he is from time
to time furnishing the Southern Christian
Adrocate, writes: "This country is celebra-
ted for its Temperance advantages There.
is not retail grocery (ordoggery) in Liber-
ty county-and has not been for more than
thirty years.
As result of this land we would have
every religious man to make note of it,
the citizens of Liberty county are charita-
table in their contributions for religious
purposes, far surprising any other section.
The christian people, too, are most com
mendably harmonious. Liquor, too FIRE.
quently, is the prolific source of disturban-
ces among ehurches-we wish it might dis
turb in the right way.) The same writer
further says, Liberty boasts the Camp
ground of the State" And we cannot
wonder: any section must be more pros
porous and happy as the one great evil of
intemperance is farther and father removed.
re-" The Nashville Adcccale tells of the.
death. of a lovely little girl, daughter of
Rev. r. G. Policy, of Mt. Sterling, Ken
tHcky. Returning from school, she came
near tavern and bar, where a number Of
drunken men were assembled; becoming
alarmed, she attempted TO cross the street
to avoid the crowd, was pressed against a
pile of lumber by horse which one of
these drunken wretches was beating at the
time, and she was so badly injured that she
died next morning.
Now this affecting tragedy, with Others
of similar, and even moro heart-rending
nature, would seem to be sufficient to stir
the soul Of every parent in the land, and
produce hostility to the traffic in ardent
spirits, that would at once and forever ban
ish from our midst, not only the low, dirty
doggery, but as well drinking shops Of a
more pretcntious character. How long,
oh, how long is the dark night of intem-
perance to last? We would have every
man PROFOUND to himself the question
What if this had been nly child? 1t may
be yours tomorrow.
