CIDER TOPERS.

When the Massachusetts Legislature
under temperance pressure, passed q
stringent anti-liquor law, they saved
the cider of the good deacons, and so
kept their friendship. The German
was deprived of his beer, but the ci-
der of the deacon was sacred from
the unmannerly attack of the statute.
Already, the effect of general cider
drinking is showing itself in the rural
districts, and the Boston Traveller,
the organ of the Temperance crusad.
ers, after confessing that the faces and
manners of the cider drinkers exhibit
the effect of their free. potations,
quotes a medical pamphlet, published
nearly century ago in England, in
which sickness in Devonshire was
charged to the use of cider. Such
persons, it Is said, have the collie, and
upon this gout supervenes. They
take in sssuch a quantity of crude gross
tartar" that the blood becomes acrid !;
the bile is rendered acid, and produces
much mischief bringing on "pains.
anxieties and spasms." Such is the
retribution the Massachusetts deacons
bring on themselves for their unjust
Determinations. AS the Iruceller
very justly remarks, "People who
have lived in places where cider is
freely drank, need not be told that
the cider toper's are the most unfortu-
nate class OF drunkards.Y 3sF sa1
