shrank from casting her moral weight
into the scale of justice, order, and
civilization, but they lent her aid to
the champions OF tyranny within the

the safety of our colonies, and the
peace Of the American continent, a
limited share of bclligerent rights but

tious demands, while they allowed her
enemy to recruit in Ireland, to block

most latitude Of belligerent privileges
in order to intercept the trade OF the
C~onfederates.
How different might the fortunes Of
the war have proved had England

Startling Truth.

The New York Tribune shows how
the sins Of the fathers are visited upon
their children, in the following:
The punishment of vice and intern.
perace does not end with the vicious
aud Incorporate, but the great human
family is so constituted that one mem
Der cannot sin without pulling down
others. Thus, in appalling degree, are
parents answerablc for the weakness
and vices of their children.
A man drinks moderately and stead
lily all his life, with nc apparent harm
to himself, but his daughters become
nervous wrecks, his sons epileptic, lib.
ertines or incurable drunkards, the
hereditary tendency to crime having
its pathology and UNMARRIED laws OF
scrofula, consumption, or any other
purely physical disease. These are
stale truths with medical men; but the
majority OF parents, even those OF av-
erage intelligence and culture, are APP
parcntly either ignorant or wickedly
regardless Of them. When our peo.
pie are brought to remove gin shops
and gin sellers for the same reason
that they would stasnant ponds or I'm,
clean sewers, there will be a chance OF
Kidding our jails and aims houses of
halt their tenants. We have urged
this point until it has become hack
neyed and tedious; but how can we be
silent so long as a fresh murder or su
icide every day exempliies the CHASTITY
