Jones says that if we will 90 to tin
shop and get a lot of scrap tin and crowd
it into rat holes, they will evacuate the
premises at once. Whether they fear
them as traps, or whether they scratch
their sides, or whether they have natu-

THRIVE SLowLY.-It is dangerous for
man to grow rich and strong faster than
he grows good. l do not think it is wise
to grow rich too fast, at any rate. l do
Not mean to say that there may not be
men Of such stature that they can grow
rich rapidly without being hurt by their
riches: bat generally God makes the road
to wealth one of care, so that the process
is one of education, and SO that. when a
man had obtained his competence, he has
gone through that which is a strenethener,
sliftncr, and which prevents his being in
cured by it, But when men come into
the possession of wealth without having
earned it they are very apt to be injured
by II, because they have not received
that education which is necessary to ena-
bic them to administer it properly.-Beech-

cd themselves with hot and strong liquor,
as a necessary preliminary to the commits
sion of the atrocity. And nine; ont OF
ten of the murders that disgrace our COM
munity are committed under the same in
iernal influence. The same thing may be
said of the lesser grades of criminality.
IN cases of violent assault, the assailants

one of the fundamental agencies of degrad-
alton and vice In fact, it would seem
from our experience, that but for liquor
and its influences, the grosser forms OF
crime would, in great measure, cease to
prevail
The American people, of all classes, are
altogether too much given to the use OF
strong liquors-whiskey, brandy, gin, &c,
and perhaps they are also getting to use
too extensively heavy beers and ales. No
thing is more conclusively demonstrated
than that the excessive use of strong alco-
holic drinks is prejudicial to the health as
well as the morals-that it is ruinous to
the physical organism of the nation as
well as It's intellectual organism. They
are used mainly as producers of excite
ment, and that too chiefly by those who OF
all thing, on; avoid this sort Of ex-
element. And when we have evidence
every day that they are the main source
OF crime, people ought to take warming as
