A-The uss of Intoxicating bever-
ages is steadily on the increase in the
United States. 1t rather exceeds the
growth of population. Six hundred
millions were spent for liquor
IN the country during the past year
for stimulants Of other kinds q PRO-
portionately alarming amount
Nearly two millions Of opium were
sold. Native wines and light bsver-
ages form tho largest proportion of
the amount consumed. 1t may, per.
haps, be doubtful whether inebriation
increases in tho same ratio as the
value Of liquors sold, on account of =
tendency toward light drinks, but it
will surprise most people to learn
that the average of receipts for
liquors sold every year is now SIG to
every man, woman and child in the
country.

Set Down in Twelve Plain Rules.

l. Hear him, now and then and
drop in a little late. Do not sing
do not find the text in your Bible.
If you take little sleep during the
sermon so much the better.
2. Notice carefully any slip he
makes while you are awake, point
out the dull portions to your child
rem and friends it will come round
TO him.
3. Consure his efforts at useful>
ness deplOre compassionately his
want Of common sense; let him
know that yon won't help him be-
cause A. b. does; because you did
start the plan yourself
4 Lot him know tho follies and
sins Of his hearers, show him how
he ovorratcs them and tell him their
adverse criticisms TO himself
5. Tell him when he calls, what
a stranger no is how his predescs-
or used to drop in for an hours chat
and how much you liked him.
6. Never attend the prayer meet
ing frequent no special services.
Why should you be righteous over
much
7. Occasionally get up "a little
gaiety' for the young folks. This
will be found very effectual about
the communion season. There is
time to dance.
8. Give no intimation when you
are i'll Of course he should know !;
and your offended dignity when he
comes TO see you will render his Wis
1t pleasant. On no account intimate
your recovery.
8. Require him to swell the pomp
of every important OCCASION un-
less indeed there be prudential rea-
sons for passing him over.
10 If no is always in his own
pulpit. clamor for strangers if he
has public duties and sometimes
goes abroad, complain that he is new
or at home.
IL. Keep down his income -
Easy means are sore temptation,
and 'fulnoss of bread is bad for ev-
cry ono-but the Iaity.'
l.. As no will probably find it
hard to DO always al home to receive
callers, and always running about
among the people, and always well
prepared for pulpit and platform, you
will be sure TO have just cause for
complaint in one way or other. Tell
it to every body and lament that
there is such general dissatisfaction
with him.
Patient continuance in such courses
as these, modified according to cir
cumstaucos, has been known not on
~ TO discourage, but to ruin the USE
fulness and break tho spirit of min-
listers, to send them off to othor char
ges, and some to their graves.

from the Evening Wisconsin.

We call the attention of our readers
to the advertisement of the National En-
gineers' Association of Milwaukee, be-
heving it to be an institution worthy in
every respect of public patronage. The
managers we believe to be honest, re-
liable and trustworthy.
Their books being open to the in
spection of ticket holders, or any par
ties desiring information of the insti-
tuition, stamps it at once above suspi-
cion. No more worthy object exists
than the education and elevation of
man, and especially should this partic-
ular class of men have every advantage
placed at their disposal, from the fact
that not only are our commercial inter-
ests greatly entrusted to their skill and
ability, but the lives of human beings
are entirely entrusted to them while
lourneying on the main thoroughfares
OF our country.
Their drawing was to have taken
place on the 18th inst, but owing to
their loss in the disastrous conflagratlon
at Chicago, and the consequent delay,
they are compelled to postpone until
Thursday, February Odd, 1872. Their
office is situated on Spring street, Nos.

Effects OF the Cholera IN Russia,

One of the most peculiar and melan-
