The Great Curse of the Age.

From the heading of this article our
readers may expect some elaborate DISCUS
sion or heightened essay on prevail
emit questions. Such is not our purpose.
It is to call attention briefly to few plain
homely truths, that may be as familiar as
household words, but it is well to consider
occasionally subjects, and give warnings,
even at the risk of being charged with
presenting thoughts that have been re-
iterated thousand times. None are more
responsible for silence on the great curse
that affiicts the present generation than
the Press. The great curse of the present
hour is inebriety among young men, There
are to-day ten to one more incorporate
men among the young men from sixteen
to thirty years of age, than among those
OF middle age, indicating that the spread
of intemperance is rapidly on the increase.
Not desiring to discuss at this time the
current temperance, issues of license or no
license and whatever may be the views of
any citizen upon those subjects, there is
not an honorable man, whether temper.
ance man in the strict sense of the term or
not, if he looks around and considers
where the young men of the present day
are standing but can be alarmed at their
peril. Let us all appeal to the sober
Judgment and candid good sense of the
youth that surround every circle, by the
1 H..
them to reflect ere it is too late.
When the vice of inebriety has taken
fast hold of man, farewell to industry,
farewell emulation, farewell love of good
society, farewell decency of manner and
oivilities of life. Everything noble in
the aspirations of the soul, is sunk in a
predominant appetite. How many in
stances are before our eyes daily of men
who began life with the highest prospects
before them who have closed it without
a ray of comfort or consolation. Young
men with good fortunes, fine talents, mild
tempers, kind hearts, vigorous constitu-
tious, being drawn into the vortex of the
incorporates, have become by degrees the
most loathsome of mankind. In the home
of the intemperate, there is no happiness.
All is uncertainty and anxiety,-his out
goings and incoming, are unknown.
When he will labor or rest, is wholly a
matter of chance His life becomes one
of pain, as sure as night brings morning.
Poverty and misery are in the train. In
avoiding these shoals, no man is called
upon to make a sacrifice, and no aid to
accomplish it. His own will is all that is
requisite.
Friends of the young men OF to-day,
rally around them with all the power of
wholesome, moral suasion, and with rea-
son and kindness, avoid all force and i'll
temper, and win the hope of the State,
and of the republic from the paths of in
ebriety, and save them from contempt,
disgrace and misery, that they may be
rescued from the great curse of the land,
to honorable and useful lives, to take the
places of the fathers who are so rapidly
passing from the stage of active life, and
most of them to the grave.

The National Camp Meeting.
ROUND LAKDJuly

The third day of the National Camp
meeting was ushered in by GLORIOUS sun
rise and general prayer meeting. The
sermon this morning by the venerable
DR.. Peck of Albany, was most remark
able production, and was received as the
"feast of reason and flow Of SOUL" that
has thus far been offered. The Doctor
said
The man who says that the blood Of
Christ cleaneth from all sin, is sound and
orthodox the position is strong, and its
strength is in truth" As he advanced in
his discourse, the vast audience leaned
forward to catch each word, his earnest
ness carrying conviction to every honest
heart No skeptic could listen to that
sermon and not believe. His hearers saw as
he saw, and thought as he thought, not
by tens or hundreds, but by acres Of be
lieving sonls.
Every train brought its crowded CIR.

timated at six thousand persons-o

AMHERST CoLLEGE.-At the Ieeting
of Alumni of Amherst College on We'd
nesday last, Prof Hitchcock can ie for
ward, pale, emaciated, and leaning on a
cane, and, removing the shade fro IN his
eyes, began his brief rem ,rks by "a most
touching allusion to his recent p irtial
blindness, and handed to Prof Seely to
read, resolutions which he had lately die
tated. They contained proposition that
the graduates of the college should cele-
brate the approaching semi-centenniaI of
the institution, by founding scholar ships,
each class to found one, which sh all be
designated by the year of the class The
resolutions name Judges Loyal G.. KEEL

void of Greenfield, committee to pre-
pare and perfect the details of the plan,
and report at the commencement Prof.
Hitchcock then, in few words, explained
the salient features of his proposition as
it had assumed form in his own mind.
The scholarships should not be exclu-
sively for the benefit of those students
intending to enter the ministry. The
church has injured herself by her course
in the matter of education. She should
no longer hang out the tatters of poverty
as signals of distress, but should enter the
work in the world on an equality and in
an independent spirit with the other pro-
LESSONS. Three requisites for the attain
ment of the class scholarships were sug-
gested; high moral principle, whether q
man is q church member or not, honest
need, and the true scholarly spirit. with
large discretionary power to the facul-

STRANGE SYMPATHY.-A boy in Mich
igan recently had his leg amputated, and
few days afterward said that the big toe
of tie amputated limb was cramped, and
that it panied him, and insisted that his
father SHOULD disinter the amputated
limb, and straighten the toe. To quiet
him, his wishes were complied with, and
he said he was relieved from pain.

BRIGHAM YoUNG's PossEssIoNs.-A
Salt Lake journal describes the dishonest
manner in which Brigham Young pos.
sesses himself of large portions of the pub.
lie tracts of land Some of the best land
in the Cache Valley is known as the
Church Farm, and Brigham was anxious
to own it, although he had already, by
various devices, pre-empted a hundred
times as much land as the law allows
Accordingly, he caused tract five miles
long and four miles wide to be fenced in,
and secured the service f four "breth.
rem" who respectively put up >hanties on
four sections in these they resided the
required time, when the shanties were
taken by four other men to other sections
&c. They then conveyed their titles tc
Brigham Young and received theil
wages.

THE FOURTH AT WINDsoR.-The
Free Press says Windsor was not as
backward as larger places in the State in
the celebration of "the Fourth" and its
people INDUCED somewhat in keeping the
national holiday. The day Monday was
ushered in by the ringing of the church
bells and the firing of cannot at one and
four o'clock in the morning. At nine
e,cleck a procession of "Antiques and
Horribles." dressed in everything imagin-
able that would burlesque the costume OF
both the savage and civilized nations, ap-
peared on the streets, led by drum
corps. The procession numbered about
forty, and after parading through the
streets for some time, creating the great
est merriment and widest laughter
among the villagers and strangers who
had then arrived, they proceeded to the
Common, witnessed the hosting of the
national flag and dispersed. In the af-
ternoon the organization of Good Tenn
plars of Windsor, which number about
one hundred, gave grand strawberry
festival at the Town Hall. At five o'clock
all the places of business were closed. In
the evening the strawberry festival was
the resort of all, where pleasure was pur-
sued till late in the evening, when the
days entertainment closed.
At the Prison the occupants were, by
the kindness of the Superintendent, j. A.
Pollard, reminded of the festal occasion
by generous drink of lemonade furnish
ed with their dinners, and by closing
their work at.four p. m. instead of six, as
on other days This kindnes the convicts
enjoyed greatly, though it was forcible
reminder Of the freedom and privileges
they once possessed, but which by their
own fault hey had forfeited.

A WoNDERFUI. ISyENTIoS-N

y WoNDERFUL INVENTION. yes
terday had the pleasure of examining enc
of the most ingenious pieces of mechanism
it has ever been our privilege to see.
The American Button-hole, Over-seaming
and Sewing Machine, does more varieties
of work perfectly, than any other ma
chine in the world. 1t performs all the
work OF the best sewing machine, and in
addition works perfect button-hole as
handsomely, and far more durably than it
can be done by the most skillful tailor,
1t also has no rival in its over-scaming
stitch, by which edges of different fabrics
are sewn together as by hand sewing, as
in making sheets and pillow cases.
The combinations by which this
machine does such a variety Of work are
50 simple in their arrangement and the
different parts are constructed with such
perfect adaptation to each other that there
is no extra friction beyond that Of an or
diuary first class machine. The con,truc-
ton is simple and the finish Of the high
est order, making compact piece Of
furniture, as ornamental as it Is useful
Clark Brothers 4 Adams, corner OF
Merchants Row and West street are
agents for this machine for the county Of
Rutland, and viii be happy to show the
manner in which the machine does Its
work, to all interested They viii sell
the machines -ingly at moderate prices or
are prepared to negotiate with agents for
their sale ia any part Of the county.
