A FACT-A WARNING.

l had widows son committed to my
care. He was heir to a great estate
He went through the different stages, and
finally left with good moral character,
and bright prospects. But during the
course of his education he had heard the
sentiment advanced, which 1 then sup
posed correct, that the use of t7neS were
not only admissible but a real auxiliary to
the temperance cause. After he had left
college, for few years he continued to be
respectful to me. At length he became
reserved one night he rushed unceremoni-
ously into my room and his appearance
told the dreadful secret. He said he came
to talk with me. He had been told dur
ing his senior year that it ,cas saJe TO
drink wine, and by that idea had been ru-
ined. / asked him if his mother knew
this. He said no, he had carefully con-
cealed it from her. | asked him if he
was such a slave that he could not aban-
don the habit. Talk not to me of sla-
very" said he, 81 am ruined, and before
[ so to bed shall quarrel with the bar
keeper of the Tontine for brandy or gin to
safe my burning thirst
In one month this young man was in
his grave. 1t went TO my heart. IFi'ne
is the cause Of ruin to a great proportion
of the young men OF our country. Another
consideration is that the habit of convival-
ity and hospitality is now'directed to the
use of wine.
E'YOu give up your wine and l will
give up my rum,' says the dram drinker
Once 1 would not yield to this Now [
think l ought for the purpose of checking
intemperance. l will not speak for 9TH
ers, but for me to do otherwise would be
sin.-PrOt Goodrich.

SOME men talk like angels and pray
with fervor, and mediate with deep car
ncs' ness, and speak to God with affection,
and words of union. and adhere to Him
in silent devotion, and when they go
abroad are as passionate as ever, pcevish
as trighted fly, yeXing themselves with
their own reflections, they are cruel in
their bargains unmerciful to their ten
ants, and proud as barbarian prince
they are for all their fine words, impa-
tient of reproof scornful to their neigh
bors, lovers of money, supreme in their
own thoughts, and submit TO none: all
their spiritual fancy an illusion they are
still under the power of these passions,
and their sin rules them imperiousIy, and
carries them away infallibly.-Jere1ly

e. A gentleman in Alabama, in exert
ing himself one day, felt sudden pain,
and fearing his internal machinery had
been thrown out of gear, sent for negro
on his plantation, who made some preten-
tions to medical skill, TO prescribe for him.
The negro having investigated the case,
prepared and administered dose-to his
patient, with the utmost confidence of
speedy cure. No relief being experienced,
however, the gentlemen sent for physi-
clan, who, on arriving, inquired of the ne
gro what medicine he had given his mas
ter. Bob promptly responded, 'Rosin
and alum, sir! "What did you give
them for % continued the doctor. why"
replied Bob, ''de alum TO draw de parts
togedder, and the rosin TO solder um."-
The patient eventually recovered.

The following from a recent address by
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher makes ex-
tremely distasteful reading for some of his
political associates:
should be sorry to sec any more gov
ernment agents spreading out through the
land If the President would call home
every treasury agent that is disgracing the
North, and the government, and human
ity, and alternating the South, l for one
should be glad Here and there are no
doubt men who stand above bribery and
suspicion and corruption, noble men and
true but all through the South, taking
them comprehensively, they are as locusts
eating up the land. They are predatory
nuisances, and degrade the North, from
which they come, and the government un-
der which they serve.

ARTIFICIAL. .WANrs.-Bulwer says that
poverty is Only an idea in nine cases out
of ten. Some men with ten thousand
dollars year suffer more for want Of
means than others with three hundred.
The reason is the richer man has artificial
wants. His income is ten thousand, land
he suffers enough from being dunned for
unpaid debts to kill 4 sensitive man. \
man who earns a dollar a day and does
not run in debt, is the happier of the two.
Very few people who have been rich will
believe this, but it is as true as Gods
word. There are thousands with princely
incomes who never know moment of
peace, because they live above their means.
There is really more happiness among the
working people ;han among those who are
called rich.

WOMEN. N.-Theadore Parker, in one Of
his sermons, uttered the following,
touching women:
There are three classes of women
First, domestic drudges, who are who'll
ly taken up in the material details of
their housekeeping and child-keeping
Their housekeeping is trade and no
more; and after they have done that,
there is no more which they can do. In
New England it is a small class, getting
less every year.
Next, there are domestic dolls, wholly
taken up with vain show that delights the
eye and ear. Similar toys, L suppose,
will one day be more cheaply manufac-
tured at Paris, Nuremburg, at Frank
fort -on-theMain, and other toy shops in
Europe, out of wax or papier-mache, and
sold in Boston at the haberdasher's by the
dozen. These ask nothing beyond their
functions as dolls, and hate all attempts to
elevate woman kind.
Eat there are domestic women who
order a house and are not mere drudges :;
who adorn it, and are not mere dolls,
but women Some Of these-a great
many of them-conioin the useful of the
drudge and the beautiful Of the doll into
womanhood, and have a great deal left
besides. They are wholly taken up with
their function as house-keeper, wife and
mother

The damage by the storm in WiScon-
sin is very extensive. Most all of the
railways have been interrupted The river
regions around Southern Wisconsin are
covered with water, and several towns are
inundated The floods on Wisconsin riv
er were particularly severe. 1t is filed
for miles with bridges, out-hOuses, dead
cattle, sheep, &c. The total damages
throughout the State can hardly fall short
of two millions of dollars. The freshet
has also extended to Northern and Cent
raj Minnesota, doing much damage.

or blue skirt, when they wear any skirt
at all. They are not allowed to dress
in red and gaudy skirt, as though they
were married and their husbands were
living. Hence the expression, ''naar7ying
the 'ceare' Of q octite SKIRT applied to Il
man who marries a widow Poor fami-
lies sometimes arrange to marry one of
their sons to a widow, when they feel
themselves unable to procure girl of good
character, on account Of the necessary ex-
pense attendant on marrying a widow is
comparatively small. 1t is considered a
disgrace to a family for one of It's sons to
marry widow, no matter how intelligent,
interesting and handsome she may be, as
well as a disgraceful or shameful step on
the part of the widow to consent to mar
ry again. No rich and fashionable fam
lily ever marries a son to a widow. A
widow is not allowed to ride in red bri-
dal chair en- route from her residence to
her intended husband.-She must employ
a common black-covered chair, borne by
two men. Many families, which have a
widow connected with them, are exceed
ingly unwilling that she should marry
again, on account of the dishonor which
such a procedure would bring upon them,
and especially upon the memory of her
deceased husband. Generally his rela-
tives, if in good circumstances, prefer to
assist in her support, or support her en-
tirely, than that she should marry the
second time

Thad. Stevens is an old leader-always
in advance of his party-no measure can
be too extreme for him if it has in view
the recognition of the political equality of
the negro with the white man. The peo-

YOUR NAME IN TIE BIBLE.-The
Dutch farmers in Africa have held the
black natives in great contempt. As one
of these farmers was riding out one day,
he saw one of these blacks sitting by the
roadside reading. Checking his horse, he
jeeringly asked, "What book have you
got there %
The Bible" replied the Hottentot.
The Bible! Why that book was
never intended for you.
'Tndeed it was" replied the black, con-
fideutly, ''for l see my name here
Your name! Where?' said the far
mer, getting off his horse ''show it me" ="
"There! :" said the poor fellow, putting
his finger on the word sinners q Tim. ::
Is y ''There sinners = that's my name
| am sinner-so that means me-"
The farmer was silenced, and mounting
his horse he galloped away. So the children
may claim the Bible for theirs, since they
are not only sinners, but their other name,
''children," ''little children" is in the BIZ
ble great many times.

LARGE HAUL OF FIsu-The largest
catch of fish ever known in this section
seys the Newark AdUertiSe'., was made on
Saturday evening by some Philadelphia
fishermen, at what is known as the Dutch
fishery on the Delaware river, just above
the Salem creek. 1t was estimated that
between eight and ten tons were caught in
a single haul of the seine. The fisher
men filed two ordinary fishing smacks
and one large market boat, and left at
least two tons on the shore, beside the
large number escaping, owing to a rise of
the tide before they could get them out.
The fishermen estimated the cash value of
their haul at $4,000. Their own boats
not being sufficient, they sent 70 Philadel-
phia for a sloop to carry their fish to that
market. The fish were principally splen
did rock, sixteen fine shad being among
them.

A QUEER Coincidence A recent is
sue of the Harrisburg Telegraph contains
the following reference to President John
son:
We did not condemn his veto of the
Freedmen's Bureau bill, because we could
not then believe he had deliberately made
up his mind to become a traitor to those
who made him what he is. We turned in
pity from his incoherent harangue TO the
rabid secessionists Of Washington City on
the 22d of FEBRUARY. But re notC ore 1t
to the good Of the cOuat'y-to tie honor Of
our friends and tie Sacredness Of the great
principles IN support Of ,oHich ne hare spent
the best days Of oar lte, no longer to pass By
actth indifference or aoitd seeming approval
the acts Of q man ,chO begins to prOre not
on!y .tislSe to hn'aseif but false to Humanity,
his country, and hiS God!
1t is a funny coincidence that the scales
only fell from the eyes of this confiding VIC
tim of Executive treachery on the day when
he received ''notice to quit the postofice
which he has held for five years. When
you say of man in the Radical dialect,
that che is false TO humanity, his country
and his Cod it means in ordinary Eng
ish that he has either put you out of an
Office or has refused 10 give you one.

down, and then quit. just thought, as
the meadow was just mile long, I'd

was one hundred : That, gentlemen, is
