| "SoBIIETY. The sober moments which
immediately succeed to dinner are the mos,
miserable in existence. The languor, the
sense Of utter nefficiency, mentally and bod
lily, are dreadful. After few glasses, YOU
ascend the first step of the pyramid, and
become comfortable. In this state you are
not much disposed to talk There is a
tranquil luxury in your feelings, and a
reverie comes on, which, if you drink no
more, is likely to terminate in Sleep"
Philosophers seldom
passes this point except in company"
"LlvELY.-Drnk on, and you step up to
lioely. Now you begin to talk, and your
remarks are sharp and pertinent. You
have the reasoning power in high perfec-
ton. This may be considered as mental
aurora, announcing that the scene of fancy
is about to rise from the 'purple wave"
'FREsH.-There is more fire and color
in your ideas now, for the sun has risen.-
You grow more eloquent and less logical
Your jokes are capital-in your own est.
nation. Your perceptions still tolerably
clear, beyond yourself" y
"VERY FREsH.-Your conversation is
more and more highly colored. Your clio.
quence is impassioned, and you overwhelm
your companions with a food Of talk
You begin to suit the action to the word -
Ideas are not quite coherent, but language
still tolerable distinct and correct"
"TIPsY.-Now on the top of the pyra.
mid, you begin to grow giddy. Gestures
very vehement, and epithets much exagger.
ated. Argumentive, but not RATIONAL
Words considerably abridged, and lament
ably obscured."
"VERY TlpsY.-You find out that you
have turn for vocal music, and regale
your friends with song. Speechify in
incoherent language, and evince a decided
tendency to mischief and locomotion.-
Proud as peacock. stout as a lion, and
amorous as dove"

stupidity good-natured. Dealing much in
shake hands and knock downs. Tongue
and feet unsteady"

pear sober. See everything double Bal.
ance totally lost, you drift about like
ship in hard gale. Vocabulary reduced
to few interjections."
SrUp1DLy DRUNK. Head and stomach
Eyes fixed and glarins-
Utter incapacity Of speech and locomoton,
accompanied with an indistinct yet horrid
consciousness of your situation.'
DEADLY DRUNR.-An apop!ectic sleep,
and confused dreams of the devil or your
creditors.

The Church of Christ was designed {,

The Church OF Christ was designed to
represent him on earth and to minister to
all the moral needs of the human race
Her work, then, is not done when she
sends out preachers and teachers; when
she exhibits sacrament and lturgies; when
she sets up churches at home and mission
stations abroad. She must grope her way
into the alleys and courts and purlieus Of
the city, and up to the broken stair case,
and into the bar.room and beside the loath-
some sufferer. She must go down into the
pit with the miner, into the forecastle with
the sailor, into the tent with the soldier,
into the shop with the mechanic, into the
factory with the operative, into the field
with the farmer, into the counting room
with the merchant. Like the air, the
Church must press equally on all the sur
faces Of society, lika the sea, flow into
every nook of the shore-line Of humanity;
and like the sun, shine on things foul and
low, as well as fair ard high, for she was
organized, commissioned, and equipped for
the moral renovation of the world.

r. R. AccIDESr.-On Friday at 8 A. NJ
the night train of the NJ. & Pr. du Chen
Railway ran of the tressle bridge across a
slough near Lone Rock. The tressle was
partly destroyed by FIRE tho locomotive
and tender were turned bottom upwards,
and the baggage and express car thrown
fifteen feet from the bridge. Some cattle
were killed months ago. there, and the rail-
way company failed to settle for them
Hero is the result! The engineer saw ,
faint light and whistled down the breaks,
but not in time to save the train. Fortu-
nately nobody was hurt seriously. We
passed on the next westward train. The
wreck was awful to look at, and we wonder
how the passengers in the first Car escaped.
The cars were full Of people. On the
breaking down Of the bridge by the weight
of the locomotive, tender and baggage, the
FIRST car inclined to the water, but there
was already so much wreck there that the
first passenger car could not slide farther
Conductor Boyle burnt his hand severely

Express Room, got out sound, but be sayi
he don't know how. The engineer sprane
from his post into the water and came VI

INDlANAPoLIs.-Whil in this city last
week We had enjoyment enough to CON-
pensate for months absence.
The BATES House.. the old political head
quarters Of the State, was our home. It is
nicely kept, clerks accommodating, beds
clean, tables we'll supplied and general
appearance of comfort in the faces Of the
guests: The Bates will always be our
house when We visit the Hoosier capital.
In the city we met Doc. H. c. Martin up
to his eyes in the business of Insuring
mortality against Accident or Life. Mr.
Peaelee is bis State partner and Rev. Mr..
Whitman their setant. Mr.. WIS want
Of health drove him from the Suporinten-
dcncy Of the Baptist Female college into
more active employment, and at present his
health is good: we had a most agreeable
time with him. Doc. showed US records Of
his business for tho past three months
which surprised US. Men down in Hoosier
value their lives at higher rates than in the
extreme northwest; we saw notices of
many $4,000 policies, while here it is
seldom q man estimates himself above
$4,000. For the travellers Ins. Co. the
Doctor has the State Agency, and we re-.
gard this as one of the best paying things
aAoat. An accident (and there are plenty
Of them) may deprive you of limb or life
and your family reap the benefit.
We ere under many obligations to Doc
Martin for his kind care of US.
