Drinking.

Considering the state of the country, to
say nothing of the price of whiskey, the vice
of drunkenness is quite too common and
conspicuous on our streets. 1t is a thing of
every day and nightly occurrence to meet
men staggering along the side walks with
bodies and souls stupefed with excess of bad
liquor. Too many OF them wear the livery
of their country, and others the garb of citi-
zens. IF a decent man could once see him
self drunk-"see himself as others see him.
-one would suppose it would make a radi-
cal cure. To get drunk is simply to cease to
be a man and become a beast, and it can on
ly be after long and deep drinking has per-
manently brutalized the man, that he can
reconcile himself to such q m~etamorphosis.
Beside being the most disgusting of beasts,
the drunkard is the biggest of fools. He
drinks f0r pleasure, yet the habit is as
throughly the murderer Of mental and bodily
comfort, without which there is no such
thing as pleasure, as Macbeth's conscience
was murderer of sleep. But this is a ques-
ton for the hard soaker to settle with his
own character, his own conscience and his
own happiness. The public have another
interest III ii, and that is that the vice should
not be permitted TO expose its brazen face to
the public view, to the shock of decency and
the evil example Of youth. We see not why
abandoned men should not be driven to Sc
cret and obscure places, beyond the public
gaze, for the indulgence of their vices, as
well as abandoned women. Every man drunk
on the streets violates the ordinances of law
and order and should be arrested, no mattel
whether he wear the uniform Of an officer
the broad cloth of a gentleman or the blous,
and shirt sleeves Of the laborer. A consci.
entious policeman who knows his duty, will
not fail to arrest all such. The two first clas
ought TO be arrested 6rst.-ffobSEe Ida

FOR II SPIRIT OF II AGE.
The Poor Woman's Troubles.

For fifteen years of a certain woman's life, she was
as miserable as any woman could be. Her house was
the picture Of destruction, and it looked more so
within. The windows shattered, the furniture de-
faced and broken, and everything was going to ruins.
1t had not always been so; for once her home was a hap
Ply one, and she used to take great pleasure and pride
in having the n~eighbors say, show neat Mrs. P.-'s
house looks" But they did not say SO long. One
thing after another changed: her table was no longer
spread with food food, nor surrounded with cheerful
faces but scanty meals, and sour looks, and angry
words and the best she could do she could not con.
cesl the tatters of her own and children's clothing.
Her husbands employment was good, and hi
might have made his family as happy as any man.
