spinal disease for which she had been doctored for
five years, and by number of physicians of all
kinds; and she has had twenty-one applications of

tinually grew worse. came to the conclusion as
the last resort, to go and Mrs Manchester. and
did SOL and to my great surprise she told the first
cause of the disease and how she had been from time
to time, which encouraged me to try her medicines

Drunkenness on the Increase.

We have seen more drunken men in
the last week, than we have seen in a
month past. Liquor shops are on the
increase in this city, and the keepers are
overrun with customers and money
They have more of both, than they know
what to do with. Turpentine brandy
flows as abundantly at a dollar a dsink,
as the best old Nash, or old Nick" used
to go at ten cents. Men drink how who
did not drink in former times and drink
freely.
Who can account for these things p
Is it to be attributed to the demoralizing
influences of the d~isruptured state of So
ciety ? This may and doubtless does have a
most blasting effect /; but in our humble
judgment, the great cause is to be attrib-
uted to the fact that there is no impedi-
ment thrown in the way to dam up this
great flood tide of degradation and death.
There is no living, active moral sentiment
now in the land, that rises up and oppo-
ses and denounces the fell custom of tip
ping. Men may sneer and jeer as they
will, but the simple existence of a Temper
anee Association in a community has saved
many a man from a drunkard's grave, who
never became connected with it. The
influence it exerted in society, made IL
quor drinking and selling reproachful, and
men would not brave public sentiment
/. so far as to engage in either. But this
: restraint is withdrawn, temperance asso-
; Citations are defunct and drunkenness and
immortality are rampant! = Will the
Temperance men consent to a longer con-
! tinuance of their idleness in the grear
cause? If we do, posterity will charg'
us with being recreant to our trust, anG
our childre ncurse US for want of fidelity
to them.

The Degeneracy of the Times.

DSSSnOAoSJ VI Inc 4lu1Cc. |
1t is melancholy, deplorable, to con-
template the dark phases of human char.
acter which these times of war and con
fusion have developed. Before these times
of revolution and comparative anarchy, l
when peace and plenty reigned through
all the land, the great mass of society
were imbued with a goodly degree of
sympathy and neighborly regard, which
prompted them to relieve the wants and
distresses of their fellows; and it was
only necessary to be informed that a
neighbor was in destitute and suffering
circumstances, to insure prompt and
speedy relief; and it was considered dis
reputable in any neighborhood or om-
munity to allow a case of this sort to go
unnoticed. This was in the days OF peace
and plenty.
But how changed the scene now. 1t is
no longer considered 'disreputable for
widows and orphans, and the wives and
children of soldiers who are away from
home, to be allowed to suffer for bread to
sustain life and clothing to cover their
n~akedness. Now, men hear the cries of
want and woe all around them-they
knOU many of their neighbors are suffer
ing for the necessaries of life, but instead
Of going to their relief, as formerly,
they wrap themselves up in the sable
shroud of selfshness, and shut out the
groans of anguish from their ears by
plunging into speculation and extortion,
by which these sufferings are enhanced
nd~prolonged. All the milk of human
tkindess seems to be dried up in the hearts
of men, and they have given themselves
up to fatten and grow rich upon the mis-
fortunes, the wants and the sufferings o.
their fellows!
What a lamentable state of affairs
and yet how true There are a few,
thank God, who have been able to rise
above the prevalence of these degenerate
times, and they have given of their time
and means abundantly for the relief o
the sorrows of their kind. Be theil
names held in everlasting remembrance
by God and man and may God increase
the number. We must abandon thu
wicked course that causes us to fail to at
tend to the wants of the suffering and thu
needy or the wrath of God will abide
upon, US as a people and a nation. An6
christian men, remember what the Apos
tie said-".If a man see his brother il
need, and shutteth up the bowels of hi
compassion, how dwelleth the love of Co.
in him 2"

DEATH OF A DUKE.-The English pa
pers publish the recent death of the Duke
of Hamilton in Paris. In company with
some frail companions of both sexes, he
Gined at the Maison Dorce, and got
drunk. In coming out, he fell from the
top to the bottom of the step, and never
spoke. His death has thrown some of
the insurance offices into distress-main-
ly Scotch establishments. His life was
insured for e1uO,O0 a few days before
he left Scotland for France.
So truly are the words of the impress
i've ceremony of the "Sons' VERIFIED
"He king AlcohoD spares not the high
nor the humble-for kings of the earth
sink before him, while wisdom and ge-
Mus fall PROSTATE" In our country, we
believe, death by intemperance exempts
insurance ofaces from paying on the pol
icy of those insured. We presume in
England these offices are net less likely
to protect themselves for it is well
known that the life of a drunkard is never
| safe.
