Il challenges any man who under
stands the nature ofardent spirits
and yet for the sake Of gain con,
times to be in the traffic, to show
that he is not involved in the guilt
of murder. ."-Dr. Lyman Beecher.
Il am deeply convinced that the
evils of intemperance can never
cease till the virtuous in society
shall unite in pronouncir g the
man who attempts to accumulate
wealth by dealing out poison and
death to his neighbor, as infamous" "

Some of tie domestic evils of

"Who has a stupid intellect, 3
broken memory, and a Blasted wit,

at is not the drunken husband,
father, son or brother, that feel all
the keen torments OF the drunkard's S
home. No! it is the wife, the
sister and daughter The intem-
perate man drinks the cup, but the
dregs at the bottom are left for the
woman. "-Rev. Hosea BoHoU.
Truly, there is no enemy more
dangerous than drunkenness, and
no slavery more terrible than that
of the drunkard. At one time it
encounters man under the form of
custom, habit, friendship, at

of pleasure But when it has
once completely fastened on its
victim, to what pitiable state of
moral degradation is he reduced
He will readily barter his own lib

peace, and the very existence of his
family-for what? For mere brute
qualification for senseless, stupid
dulgence. - Daniel HimbuU.

Linlating the crop at 3, 100000 bales,
we have S210,00O,O0O as the pro
duct in money. This large falling
Off in the business transactions he
tween the North and South will go
far toward explaining the inactivity
and dullness of which merchants
and manufactures complain, and
cannot but remind one Of the close
relations which the nations Of the
world occupy to the United States
In no case can they make war upon
each ether with impunity to US
