DRINKNG HEALTH.-How in the
name of csnamon sense and reason do l
show an affection and regard for my
friend by pouring into my own stomach
that which oppresses and distresses ma
ture, and which nature does not want?
Or what sense is there in my drinking
his health! Why, the very words are
silly upon the face of them, if man will
but stop to consider his meaning. How
can / possibly drink another mans
health? may wi h his health, or
may pray for his health; but that has
no rational connections with my drink
ing. l might as well dance his health,
or whistle his health, for any real con-
nections between the means and the
end.

4 Few Questions for Christians to An
swer.

Every morning and night you pray,
"Thy will be done on earth, as it is in
heaven"
Is it the will of God that hundreds of
thousands of children should grow up in
ignorance and vice?
Is it the will of God that there should
be in England million, or million and
half of paupers?
Is it the will of God that 80 GOO crimi-
nails should exist, and that those crimi-
mails should COON breeding criminals, and
that the foul inheritance of villainy
should be estailed on generation after
generation?
Is it the will of God that 1000 drunk
ards should die every week in England,
and that their vacant places should DE
filled from the ranks of moderate-drink-
ers?
Is it the will of God that more than
1000 members should be expelled from
our churches every quarter Through
drunkenness?
Is it the will of God that our Sabbath
schools should be robbed of some of their
most promising scholars by strong drink?
Is it the will of God that Christian in
fluence should be paralyzed, and Chris
tian victories should be lost. through the
monster sin of drunkenness?
Is it the will of God that error and
falsehood should be crushed, and that
truth, and virtue, aud goodness should
be triumphant? And if so, is this possi-
BILE, so long as the drinking customs are
supported by ministers and church
members?
Christians:-Do you mean what you
say when you pray, "Thy will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven? Do you de-
sire with earnest longings the fulfillment
os this petition, and are you doing what
you can to remove out of the way every
obstacle to its fulfillment?
"He that knoweth his Masters will
and doeth it not shall receive many
stripes. He that doeth his will, shall
know of the doctrine, whether it
be of God ~ London Temperance Star.

The Next Governor.

II will soon become necessary for a
convention Of the Republicans of YER
mont TO select their candidate for the next
Governor Of the State and we desire at
this time to suggest the Hon. A. l.. Mi
ner of this place, as u proper person to
receive tho nomination Of that conven-
ton.
We shall do little more than suggest
his name; for Mr.. Miner is too well
known to the people of this State to stand
in need of any recital of his services and
merits. His connection with the public
affairs of Vermont has extended over a
period Of nearly forty years and he has
been found able and efficient in the dis
charge of public duties, and faithful to
the interests Of those whom he represent
ed. He has served us in both branches
Of our General Assembly, and as a rep
resentative in Congress. His frequent
service in the Legislature has made him
intimately acquainted with the public in
terests of the State. The citizens of this
town have, at various times within the
past thirty years, chosen him their men,
Der of the House of Representatives; and
perhaps he is best known to the people of
Vermont as a leading member of that
body. OF his record and influence in
that position we need say nothing. Others
know quite as we'll as we how much the
people of the State, and their representa-
tives, have been accustomed to rely upon
his sound judgment and perfect integrity,
We have no hesitation in suggesting
Mr. Miner as a candidate for Governor ;
for we know that many of his friends
throughout the State would be pleased to
have him enter upon the honors and du.
ties Of that Office as a fitting close to a
long life of faithful public service.
