EDITOR SPIRIT OF THE AGEs ! was called upon

long remember. Anosher victim has fallen. through
the fundamentally of that accursed demon, Afcehol.
Mr.. D>S@, while in a fit of intoxieatiOn. fell dead
upon the fo0r 9fhis little cabin. Nobody was pres
ent bat his mother, who, by the way. was so intoxiea-
led that she could tell but little about his death; con
sequentfy, an inquest was held, and after a strict ex.
animation gave their decision death caused by the
excessive Use of ardent spirits"
NOW, NF. Editor, l anu not accustomed to writing
any thing of this kind, ont / was so struck with tho
scene OF the burial that ceEld not refrain from PEN
nlng yoa 0 line. Perhaps it may meet the gaze Of
some who are in the habit of using spirits as 4 beyer-
age. and cause them TO 'see the wrath 10 COME
The scene was awful! / could hut think, were tho
basest drNnkard a witness ofthis burial, that he would
surely reform, and avoid the fate OF the deceased
Solemnity seemed stamped upon every face present
at the Church of Palm Tree, where the mortal remaina
OF thhs anfortanate creature were deposited. with
refrain from giving you a description of my feelings
when the following lines were sung:
