The GUILT OF INTEMpERANCE.-
"God has never created a mind vet
that can safely challenge combat with
the Appetite Drink. Earth has no
ambition that is not engulphed, No
hope which is not blasted, no tie which
is not broken, no sanctuary which is
not invaded, no friend, nor kinsman.
wife or child, that is not forgotten, no
fibre OF human agony which is not
wrong. Minds of common mould
will go through life without ex
cess, while those gifted with God-Iike
powers are smitten with weakness.
The author Of "Childe Harold" walk
ed in letters, and died at MissOlonghi.
OF drunken dcbauch He who led
the prosecution in the British Parlia-
ment against Hastings, was hurried
to the grave to escape the clutch of his
landlords. Poor Charley Fox And
the Author Of Gertrude Of Wyo-
ming" died a driveling imbecile.-
How the Gentle Ella" wept over the
habit that enthralled him. All! how
these tragedies Of human individual
history-Of temptation and fall-stalk
before us. The history of the best
minds Of our land is darkened by
these episodes Of weakness and ruin"

A COUNTRY NOT TO BE ENvIED.-
With fifteen millions of inhabitants in
Spain, only three millions can read or
write-a fact which fully accounts for
the restlessness and fanaticism Of the
people. The fall of Spain dates from
the time when Philip the II and Phil
Up the Ill expelled a million Of the
MoorS who were employed in the
cultivation of the land. The inouisi.
ton also had its effect in making the
Spaniards sombre, suspicious and
jealous. Poverty and ignorance have
done the rest. Though Spain is a
land OF mountains, it is also a land If
great mineral wealth, and so fer til q
that 1t yields both the fruit of tr.onics
and the cereals of the temperate zone
Its Bora and fauna are very similar
to those Of Northern Africa. #

Cnnnecficut Election.
April 18th 1868.

As a result of this election, the Re-
publicans have both branches of the
Legislature. Senate IL Republican to 9
Democratic. House 129 Republican to
109 Democratic. The majority for Eng
lish, Dem, 1,735, in a vote of 99,323,
was furnished by two wards in the city
of New Haven, which city, IN a small
scale, plays the same part, with refer
ence to the whole vote of the State, that
New York city does in the vote Of the
Empire State. Two wards in New Ha-
ven gave English a vote of 2199 mhjor-
ity. What these wards are, need not
be described. The rural towns, thereal
Connecticut, elected Mr.. Jewell. This
election secures the appointment Of a
Republican Senator in place Of Dixon,
which Is Of more practical importance
than to have elected Jewell governor
and lost the Legislature. The frauds
are said to have been SO barefaced and
numerous as to require an official in
vestigation.
The Courqnt says, that Connecticut
will vote for Grant in Noyember-tha
then the ex-bounty jumpers and re-
peaters" viii be needed in New York,
from whence they came, and the pa
triotism Of the State will be- all the
more aroused BY their partial defeat.
