SHORT FaocKs AT BALLs.-We noticed few DAYS

ARE AMERICAN WOMEN DRUNKARDs DIR Albert
Day, the Superintendent of the BiDghampton a. "
lnebriate Asylum, has written the following statement
in reply to inquiry respecting the assertion of tenn
perance lectures to the effect that the asylum was
overrpn with applications for admission from wives of
clergymen and professional men, and females gen.
orally
The report of the Temperance lecturer who stated
that the Asylum at Binghsmpton, N. Y contained
1900 rich mems daughters, who had been sent there
TO be treated 50 ministers, 400 doctors and 600 law
yers," is as far from the truth as anything could be-
The story has been the rounds of the papers, only
Of this country, but of Europe It has been denied
time and again. but temperance lecturers will continue
to repeat it.
There has never been female patient admitted to
this asylum. There have been fifteen or twenty ap-
picatons for the admission of females during the past
year, and most of them opium cases During
the last eleven years have been in charge of inc
brlate asylum (en years in Boston and year here
and am well satisfied that the per centage of drunk
en- women i'll our country is very small indeed. When
there is one, it is anomaly and quite rare as high
crimes of any kind.
But the statement of this lecturer, as above re-
ported is so preposterous and absurd that any COM
mon mind will reject it at This asylum is de.
voted exclusively to men, and there are now sixty-six
patients here the largest number before in the
asylum. During the past year one hundred and sixty
have been admitted here, and of that number three
were minister's four doctors and five were law.
yers 80 by this you see how near the truth are
these stories This is bad enough, but for the honor
OF our country, and the hope of christian civilization
don't let us publish to the world such abominable
statements as the above
We are GLAD to see this tardy defense Of the honor
and reputation of American women. Our sense of
decency has often been shocked by the wholesale ac
cusatens brought against them in this respect, partic
ulary against those of the Northern portion of our
Union, and as we personally ignorant as to the
truth or fasity of such charges they have created
most painful impressions the status Of sobrety

The Crisis.

We look back with a kind of pain
full wonder at the mannerin which we
have habitually used the word that
heads this article. What was not crises
with usl When were we not either
precipitating or eluding oneg From
the election of President TO that of a
police ofiicor-from the endowment of
some great public charity---to the bull
ding of a country school-house-the
changes were rung upon the word un-
til it conveyed about as much real
meaning to us as the grief ofa widow
when il reaches the third graduation
Of her mourning robes-that soft, ten
der gray like a thin mist after shower
We say look back with painful won
der, for the stale and meaningless
word has at once sprung into vital
truth For the first time we compre-
hend its meaning. 1t is the verge of
the gulf where one more step will
precipitate us into bottomless abyss.
II is the breathless moment when in
the track of the avalanche, we know
not if hair breadth right or left will
bring il upon us, or leave as safe
With us IL is helpless crises that no
action on our part will avert or modify.
A force beyond our own has pro
PEELED us 10 it--a force beyond our
own holds us there, and if salvation
comes at the eleventh hour, it viii be
force beyond our own that will
bring it to us. There is an old Ger
man proverb:
~Trust in God dcvouily,
hammer away siontly."
But sometimes hands are pinioned too
closely fore one good blow. We arc
like Fatima in the castle dungeon,
crying out TO the watchers on the
wall, "what seest thouy' And the
watchers are forever reporting great
clouds of dust, that end in--dust and
nothing more
"Whom the Gods would destroy
they first make mad, and the Con
gress of the United States is the mad
dest body of men who were ever un.
loosed upon a helpless community.

last thing in their thoughts; but We
hope the time is not far distant when
the people whose trust and honor
they have betrayed, will rise asa peo-
pic alone can do, aud make the voice
of their indignation heard aud felt
