Believe me. tits truth sublime,
Gods world is worthy better men.
With Paradise the world began.
A world of love and gladness:
Its beauty may be marr'd by man
With all his crime and madness.
Yet 'tls a brave world still. Love brings
A sunshine for the dreary;
With all our strife, sweet Rest hath wings
TO fold o'er hearts a-weary.
The Sun in glory, like God,
To-day climbs up heavens bosom.
The flowers upon the jewell'd sod

That men In Gods own image soul'd.

And man, down. tramplcd man, Is more

And let Us for the worlds good give.

Randolph County journal. [volume] (Winchester, Randolph County, Ind.) 1855-1862, 1859-06-09

The traffic in ardent spirits is
wrong. and should be abandoned as n
great national evil. The amount OF
suffering and morality, inseparable
from the commerce in ardent spirits.
renders them an unlawful article OF
trade. The commerce in ardent spir-
its, which produces no good. and pro-
duces a certain and an immense
amount of evil. must be regarded as
an unlawful commerce and ought upon
every principle of humanity, patriot
ism. conscience and religion, to be
abandoned and prescribed. 1t seems
to be manifest violation Of the com
mand, Thou shalt love thy neighbor
as thyself," and of various other evan
gclical precepts. No man can act in
the spirit of impartial love to his
neighbor, who, for his own personal
cmolument. inflicts on him great and
irreparable evil: for love worketh no
i'll to his neighbor. Love will not
burn a neighbor's house. or poison his
food, or blast his reputation, or destroy
his soul But the commerce in ardent
spirits does all this inevitably and
often. Property. reputation, health,
life and salvation fall before it.
The direct inhiction Of what is done
indirectly, would subject q man to the
ignominy of public execution. 1t
is scarcely 2 ralliation of this evil,
that no man is destroyed maliciously
or with any direct intent to kill: for
the certainty of evil is as great as il
waters were poisoned which some per
sons would surely drink. or as If q
man should fire in the dark upon
masses of human beings, where i,
must be certain that death would bt
the consequence to some.
Can it be denied that the commerce
in ardent spirits makes fearful havo'
of property. morals and life? Does i
not shed blood as really as the sword
and more blood than is shed by war.
In this point none are better witnesses
than physicians, and according to thei
testimony, intemperance is one of th'
surest dcstroycrs OF virtue. health anc
life.

response from the sable gent, as he
hurried down stairs.
Dinner came, and was dispatched
with relish. .Jeems and his bride
took stroll over the city, seeing the
lions and other sights. until supper
time. which being over they retired to
their room. The gas was lit by the
servant. who received bright quar-
ter for his services. Jecms was the
last in bed, and according to the rule
in snch cases, had to put ont the light.
which he did with blast from his
lungs.
The noise in the street had died
away, and quiet reigned in the Swami
House. The young man on the watch
dozed in his chair. The clerk. (rather
cOrpulcnt,) was about to retire, when
he thought he smelt gas. Some one
came down stairs and said he smelt
gas. The guests (some of them woke
up and smelt gas. Much against his
will the clerk proceeded to find where
the leak was. 1t seemed stonger in
the ncighborhood of the room occu-
pied by the bride and groom. Clerk
concluded to knock at the door oftheir
room.

side.
open the door, the gas is escap-
ing.
"Gas. what gas? said Jccns, opcn-
ing the door.
"Why. here in this room. How
did you put your light out?"
"Blcw it ont OF course"
"You played HI" Our amiable
clerk came very near saying bad word
but remembering that there was u lady
in the case, or rather in the bed. he
checked his rising temper and having
lit the gas. proceeded to show Jccms
the mystery Of its burning AS follows:
"You see this little thing hcrc?-
Well. when you want to put it out,
you give it turn this way, and when
you want to make it lighter you give
it turn this way. Serious consc-
qucnccs might have resulted if it had
not been discovered. Now be careful
next time"
"Nluch obliged. But how the devil
did know the burned stuff was es-
caping?" responded ,jcems.
Didn't you smell it?" asked the
clerk.
"'Pears To me | did smell it," saws
Jecms. "but Lie. I'll be burned cf
didn't think it was you. kasc ! never
slept with woman afore."
"Wcll, Jeems. | thought it was
you smclt that way all the time. ]
was jest q wunderin' cf all men smclt
that way. 1t 'pearcd strange. but
then ! don't know nothing about il. :"
was the response of Lie, as she turned
over for anap.
The red in our clerks face grew
smilingly redder as it reflected the
light from the burning jet, and roug-
ish twinkle lurked in the corner of his
eyes, as he turned off the gas and all
was dark. and our friends were left
alone in their glory. a sound of
suppressed mirth was heard in the
reading room for a few minutes. and
then all was still.
