An UNNATURAL MOTHKR.-The Rutland
Herald records q case In Ludlow, Vt, OF the
cruel c onduct Of the wife OF Charles Robbins
towards her own children, and which the b US
band, poor, shiftless fellow, is powerless TO
stamped upon and broke the arm OF small
child as II lay upon the floor, and the poor
thing actually crawled under the bed to hide
away from its monster mother. At another time
she stripped the child and immersed il in the
cold brook and then washed its clothes in the
same and put them on again, undried and un.
warmed. During a snow storm, becoming en-.
ragged, she threw it out OF the house, and let the
deformed and helpless creature lie till, exhaust.
eu, IL sank 70 sleep on the snowy ground. The
authorities have taken the matter in hand, ana
il the charges against her are substantiated she
will be dealt with TO the severest extent Of the
of the law, as she Justly deserves.

A STRANGE, SAD TALR.-A very singular
but sad story comes to us from Illinois. A
few weeks since, Mrs. Dorcas L. Smith, the
wife Of one o the wealthiest men in the west d.
vision OF Chicago, was found lying in her cell
lar, on bright Sunday morning, with her
throat cut from ear to ear. A knife by her
side told how II was done. The only cause
for this dreadful act was harsh treatment on
the part Of the lady's husband, who, with
his acquired wealth, had not succeeded In
acquiring the habits Of society or civilization
The sudden and awful death Of her mother
made deep impression upon her daughter
Jennie, the only one remaining at home so
much so, that 1t is thought her mind became
affected. For several weeks past her health
has perceptibly declined, and quite recently
she became almost completely paralyzed. In
dlcatlons pointed TO a system OF poisoning,
and, after much persuasion, the poor gIrl
confessed that this was the case. Not caring
to live, after the decease Of her mother, the
unfortunate girl had, ever since that sad event,
been taking different preparations OF arsenic
and other poisons, with the object Of ultimately
killing herself, and the continued use of the
drugs had finally induced paralysis. Her con-
dition Is now very precarious one, and it Is
considered very doubtful whether she can
long survive. As she states, the only motive
for the commission Of this system Of slow
suicide, was desire to join her mother, from
whom she had never be fore been separated

FoOlishness of IntemDerance.

nj MARIN M fOMERO1.
The habit of liquor drinking is to our mind
the most foolish, inexcusable piece of destruc-
tive nonsense in the world. And nowhere is 1t
more prevalent than in cities The money
poured down the throats of men each year is
greater than the amount spent for improve
ments. Whisky-shops, saloons, gin-mills, beer
cellars wine-rooms, and all sorts of irrigational
devices and places to fool away money, are
found by the hundreds and thousands in cities
If man is tired, he drinks. If doing nothing
he must have nip each hour. If too warm, he
takes mint julep. If too cold, a hot whisky.
II he is by himself, out comes a flask or bottle.
If in company, he stands treat till his money be
gone; then, like dead beat, sits around till some
one asks him up.
A man on moderate salary steps into q saloon
Invites half-a-dozen friends to drink pays half
dollar or more, and walks out. Three or four
times day he repeats this, and always drinks
when asked. II is social. Men mean nothing
by it. But during the week half mans salary
is poured down his throat, destroying his
stomach, weakening his nerves, over-exciting
his brain, robbing himself and family of money
needed for other purposes. But it is social !!
Drink in the morning-at noon-at highland

looks red and tremulous, as if ashamed-ambi-
tion is drowned or poisoned. Pretty soon the
poor fellow is unfit for business. He makes mis-
takes. He is sick, unable to work. He is not
the man to be relied on. He leaves his place,
and in time finds a poorer one. Then he feels
blue-drinlls still nlore-his family suffers-he
leaves his place again, and at last he dies a

We believe a man has a right to kill himself
suddenly or by slow poison. 1t may be none of
our business in the abstract, yet we are sorry to
see men fooling themselves away, dying like
weeds in gutter, when they might be men, up
right, healthy, loved, and useful; of benefit to
themselves and and others. And this is why we
write against intemperancc. Health is too pre-
cious to be wasted. Manhood is too noble to be
thrown into the gutter. Life is too sweet to be
drugged with poisons now compounded and sold
as liquors To drink poison may be social but
it costs too much for us or for any man of sense
who loves himself or Others Who of our readers
dare think of this matter, and act as their better
Judgment shall dictate?
