The close relationship existing among
men makes them dependant one on the
other. Among the highest offices of vir-
tue, are to relieve the distressed and pro-
tect the innocent. The mighty force of
virtue often impels the virtuous, however
few or humble, into conflict with vice.

and Jesus Christ is not the life, can never
be first rate power on earth, equal to a
successful contest with the Prince of Evil.

Hope is boon bestowed upon man by
God. Without hope, we would be desti-
tute of enjoyment 1t is our companion
by day, our comforter by night, when we
close our eyes and invoke the God of Hope
TO send his angels to hover over our couch
and protect us whilst we sleep. Hope tells
rs to look through the dark vista of the
future, to look away from the world and
the things pertaining thereto, and look
aloft to things celestial to trust in a NIGH
tier power than we possess; ii gives US an
assurance of a safe transition to a better
cline. when we trust ourselves to an lnylsi-
ble but all-potent arm. The world dare
say no more for its device than duna sptrO

have had their garmeats washed and made
clean in the blood Of the Lamb, can say

Every one who has felt the disappoint-
nents incident to the mutability of human
affairs, is saved from dependency only
through Hope; for if ne hope not, he
would sink under the vexations and sor
row that often roll over him like floods
But when our condition is most gloomy
when Affections seem severest when dis
appointments are crushing our spirits ant
our bodies are racked with pain ant
scorched with fever, then it is that Hop

Ravages Of Intemperance

Bro. GoRMAN During the last year,
Intemperance spread its evils far and wide
over our country and made sad havoc in
its progress among the human family. 1t
is painful to reflect upon its ravages. Sew
eral Of my acquaintance fell victims to its
baneful effects, and some under very pc
culiarly painfNl and distressing circumstan-
ces. will relate five cases which now oc-
cur to my mind:
A poor widow, in the dreary winter of
ole age, was called to give up her only son
upon whom she leaned for succor and sup
port in her descent down the rugged de-
clivity of life. How foiled her expectations
how disappointed her hopes! Instead Of
relieving her of the cares and burdens of
advanced life, he added grief to her sorrows
and pains to her miseries, by his suicidal
indulgence in intoxicating liquors. A
young wife, who had recently pledged un-
wavering fidelity and her pure heart with
all its ardent affections and aspiring emo
tions at the hymenial altar, and had just
set out upon the journey of conjugal life
with buoyant spirit and high anticipations
followed to an untimely grave the objec
of her love-the partner of her joys anc
the source to which she looked for future
happiness. How changed the scene. how
sad her feelings. The sky once S,
bright and clear, is now overcast Will
clouds and darkness, and the prospective
that was once so, cheering and inviting
now dark and gloomy How witheret
flowers that bloomed in the garden of he
heart to be woven into wreaths to deck tn
brow Of him whom she once delighted t
love and to honor! The tender cords {
her heart have been snapped asunder an
broken by the iron grasp Of Intemperanc,
and she mourns the premature demise
her cherished companion.
Thre little children, with bleeding hear
witnessed the interment Of an unfortunat
father, who led for years a life of dissp
/ ton, squandered all his property, and die
bequeathing to them poverty, wretchedne
and woe.
Two fond parents, hand in hand, wi
slow and silent step, accompanied t

an outcast and vagabond, rntil at length
in helpless and insensible state of intoxi-
cation he was killed by train of cars that
ran over him, mangling his body and mu-
tilating his once erect and stalwart frame.
Oh ! the horrors and miseries of Intem

it attempts to draw its dark and bloody
pictures. 1t is impossible for the human
mind to conceive of the pain and wretch
edness which it entails upon families and
kindred Would that its fearful evils could

eyes sparkle, his-face glows, and bis bosom
heaves with patriotic feeling. He en-
ters into the spirit Of every battle and
every escape. He feels the very blows
that are about to fall upon his ancestors,
and shudders as though he was actually
passing through the dangerous scenes
When he ends the history of their great
actions, he feels satisfaction not unlike
that of the hero who has just won lau-
rcls from a well contested field. What
happiness would all the recollections and
traditions of the past afford him, were it
not for his fancy9 what advantages arise
from il? These are the effects of refined
and healthy imagination.
God has given to man nothing in vain
He has given r. him aothtng that cannot
be put to happy aud asesnl purpose bnt
he has also given to him nothing that can
not be perverted and made an instrument
of misery. The desire Of gain is pleas
ant and laudable; but when the magma
ton clothes it with such power and in
tiuence as to make misers Of men, then it
ceases to be such, and Immediately paves
the way to misery. Ofall the faculties of
the mind, no one has been ofterer and
more perverted, and visited with british
passions--than the imagination. Nor is
there any one, when stained with vice,
more powerful to destroy individual hap
piness. As some loathsome disease, unless
quickly healed, spreads putrefaction, so a
polluted imagination, unless quickly chas-
tened, infuses its pestilential vapor into all
the other faculties, till the whole becomes
a mass Of corruption.

What Can You Do Am Example

Some fifty years since poor boy born
of poor parents, and fatherless, who had
nowhere to look for elevation or mainte-
nance in life but to his own diligent exer-
tions, chanccd to be in the navy-yard, at
Brooklyn, and the thought struck him that
he would like to enter the navy. Being
of energetic temperament, with him to
think was to act, to desire was to strive
So going to the proper officer he applied
for admission. The novelty of seeing
lad alone boldly asking for place 20. often
secured by political preferences or by the
entreaties OF. iafuentisl friends. attraets.h
at once The atxation Of the officer, and he
inquired, aWhat can you do?' The reply
was prompt and decisive, "Anything thar
any other boy can" lie was told to call
againin afew days. On leaving, be hasten
ed to tell his mother the step he had ta-
ken. She thought the matter only a whim
and did not suppose it would accomplish
anything. But the few days passed and
the place was given to the enterprising lad .
Scarcely in his new position, he began TO
show marks of genius and aptitude which
outd;d his associates, and step by step the
bakers boy rose in influence and rank
His aim was high, bis courage undaunted,
his perseverance unfailing; and to-day he

most influential in power Of the great

American hearts than any event since the

Indeed, Mr.. Editor Beae Knows how.
to come it over ven temperance men
You don't catch men OF "good moral chass
acter" in bad company, engaged in bad
things, do you? Benc., like prudent
manager, would not let you and your like,
see him training his bands on the day of
the grand R. R. Celebration, but gave a
universal holiday, put his key in his pocket
and took his chance for the passing fun
He knew there might be some, in so large
crowd, too enthusiastic for the credit OF
the Monopoly, when respectable men, with
wives and daughters were abroad, and your
persistent Sons of Temperance were on
hand to call attention to alterations from
propriety, should any arise among his pat
rons. So also on the hanging day, he
granted to his pupils exemption from la
Dor, and permitted, with few squints and
murmurs, the ne-horse-liquor-wagon to
do service on that distinguished occasion
What have you to say to that? ? Don't
you think he is too smart for you Sons
Benc. does not mean you sons shall say
his house is not "good and orderly" when
he shuts up on hanging days and r. r
Celebrations.
Poor fellow, he gets cut once in while,
in despite Of his good moral character. y
You know his pupils are up with the times,
and young boods of his style of society dc
not trudge along after the mode of oul
fathers and grand-fathers. You know thi:
is called the age of progression, if it ha:
relapsed into hoops and tournaments. On,
of his retainers became so ardent that b,
could not afford TO walk into his establish

llnightly bearing, and was baked by SOM
old fogies on the way, who thought floor

court in the courtly sum of 5000? The
did it. You see how the lawful establish
ment gives employment for lawful officers
Benc. has aspeeiality IN ais course q, II

A MOTHERS LovE.-Some Of our read
ers may recollect thrilling ballad which
was written on the death of woman who
perished in the snow drifts of the Green
Mountains of Vermont. That mother bore
an infant on her bosom, and when the
storm waxed loud and furious, true to a
mothers love she rent her own garments
and wrapped them around her babe. The
morning found her a stiffened corpse, but
her babe survived. The babe grew to
manhood, and became the speaker in the
Ohio Senate. How thrilling must be his
thoughts of that mother, if he be q tue,
large-hearted man How deep a mothers
love! How many mother is there who
would die for her son, if called In proyi-
dence to do sol Let sons, When Ear AWAY
from home, on land or in sea, W hen the eve
of no mother is upon them, remember her
love and be restrained bv it from entering
the path of vice. Let them say nothing
which a mother would not approve and
they will never bring down her grey hairs
with sorrow to the grave.
She WoS'T HEAR ME.-@f wish that
you would talk to my daughter, sir. You
know all the circumstances Of her case,
and, perhaps, you can have some influence
for good over her her. She won't listen 10
