(By young lady who was told that she
was monomaniac in her hatred of alcoholic
lnuors)
Go, feel what have felt,
Go, bear what bave borne:
Sink meath bl. " a father dealt,
And the cold, proud worlds scorn.
Thus struggle on from year to year,
Thy sole relief the scaldirg tear.
Go, weep as have wept
Ger loved fathers fall
See every cherished promise swept,
Youths sweetness turned to gall:
Hopes faded flowers strewed all the way
That led me up to woman's day.
Go, bneel as have knelt;
Implore, 5eseech and pray,
Strive the bcsotted heart to melt
The downward course to stay;
BE cast with bitter curse aside
TLy prayers burlesqued, thy tears defed.
Go, stand where have stood,
And see the strong man bow,
With gnashing teeth, lips balhed in blood,
Aud cold and liv;d brow;
Go, catch his wandering glance, and see
There mirrored his souls misery.
Go hear what have heard,
The sobs Of sad dispair,
As memory's feeling fonts hath stirred,
And its revealings there.
Have told him what he might have been,
Had he the drunkard's fate foreseen.
Go TO my mothers side,
And her crushed spirit cheer
Thine own deep anguish hide.
Wipe from the cheek the tear;
Mark the dimmed eye, her furrowej broT,
The grey that streaks her now,
The toil-worn frame, the trembling limb,
And trace the ruin back to him
Whose plighted faith, in early youth,
Promised eternal love and truth,
But who, forsworn. hath yielded up
This promise 20 the deadly cup,
And led her down from love and light,
And all that made her pathway bright,
And chained her there mid want and strife,
That lowly Ihing-a drunkard's wife
And stamped on childhoold's brow, so mild,
That whitening blight, q drunkards child
Go, hear, and see and feel, and know
All that my soul hath felt and known,
Then look within the wine-cup's glow;
See if its brightness can atone;
Think if it. flavor you would try.
If all proclaimcd-'Tis drink and die.
Tell me hate the BOWL
Hate is a feeble word,
loathe abhor, my very soul
By strong disgust is stirred
When er | see, or hear or tell
Of the DARK BEVERAGE OF HE'LL.

using of tobacco is one. This, taken in
connection with the drinking of ardent
spirits, tells the whole story. Hitherto
in attributing to this latter cause so large
a share in the production of disease. the
effects of tobacco have been, in a great
measure, overlooked. 1t is only of late
years. since the consumption of tobacco
among our people has increased to such
an alarming extent, and its effects in the
production Of disease have become SO
palpable as to be no longer ignored, that
our physicians have come to more fully
recognize It's agency, until at length some
have been heard to declare it as their
firm belief that-'he eifss;s of tobacco in
lowering the general tone of the system,
and thus rendering its yotaries suscepti.
bic TO disease, are fully as great as those
of rum. DIR. Alcott says /: The German
physicians state in their periodicals that
of the deaths occurring among men in
that country, between eighteen and thir-
ty-fiYe years of age, one-half die from
the effects of smoking. a Paris physi
clan says that six cigars a day will
shorten mans life five years. We are
not yet prepared to treat this question
with mathematical strictness, but it may
be regarded as certain that, however
moderately one may use the weed, and
however long he may escape disease, his
life will be shortened to some extent by
such use.

of an idea, would you say for instance
"John is spanking" or John is being

seem immaterial, but it is matter of con-

probable that if any choice were given
him, he woul select the former alternative.
You assert, we say, that "Hannah is

very improper thing for Hannah to do
it would be positively scandalous, indeed
Precisely similar idea is conveyed if you
say Hannah is being hugged,' because

AN AWFUL LONESOME MAN IN Call
FoRNIA.-In The shanty, which, in Cali
fornia's early days, did duty as office for
the banking, postal and express of Wells,
Fargo & Co.. in Marysville, there sat,
one Saturday evening, a misanthropic
and detected looking individual, whose
long and unkempt hair and beard, cowhide
boots and rough dress bespoke the miner.
For over an hour he sat there picture of
despair, with not a word Or look from
any one present. Miners came, left their
dust took their coin in return, and ex-
changed greetings with all present, save
the one morose man whose apathy moth
ing, it seemed, could disturb Finally
there entered a young miner with beam
ing face, who, after completing his bust
ness at the counter, turned to the agent
in charge and remarked that on the pre-
vious Saturday be had some dealings
with the bank, ..and thought that some
mistake had been make in his account.
Guess not" said the agent. 'Our
cash was all right and reckon we keep
our books pretty straight"
But upon the request of the miner that
the account should be examined. the &C.
count was looked at, ard it was found
that through clerical error, the miner
had paid just $50 to much.
That's just what l make il" said the
latter; "and here's your money" With
this lie threw down the gold, and reciev-
ed the thanks of the agent
While this conversation was in pro.
gress, the misanthrophic miner had pre-
served his look of utter indifference !;
but, when he saw the money actually re-
turned, his face frightened up. he rose
slowly, walked toward the honest miner
with slow and solmn step, and said:
young man, don't you feel awful
lonesome in this country 2"

DYSPEPSIA.

DYSPEPSIA.
When we witness the astonishing
amount of saliva poured out by inyeter-
ate tobacco chewers and smokers, we
need not wonder that so many of them
have dyspepsia. The salivary fluid is
one of the necessary secretions required
for the digestion of our food By some
physiologists it is considered just as es-
sential as the gastric juice 1t is most
powerful agent, the active principle Of
which, when diluted to the proper degree
to bring it into contact with every part,
some chemists say, is capable Of dissolv
ing thousand times its own weight Of
any nutriment that ia appropriate to the
system. To supply the enormous guam
tity wasted by the tobacco user, the sail
vary glands are taxed to their utmost
capacity, almost arOrhed to death 4; and
and then are only able to furnish fluid
deteriorated in quality, and vitiated sali-
va must impair digestion. DR.. Good
gives it as his opinion that great evil re-
suits from the conveyance to the stomach
of tobacco which is mixed with the sail
va. DR.. Cullen says he has found all
the symptoms of dyspepsia produced by
snufiing. particularly pains of the stom
ach, occurring every day. He felt Ger
tain that he did not mistake the cause Of
these from the fact that from the sudden
interruption of snufing for some days
the pains ceased, but upon the return of
the patient 10 the habit, the pains also
returned. DIR. Clay, of Manchester, Eng
and, says it is the sole cause of spe
cies of dyspepsia, which he has witness
ed in a number of cases, the symptoms
being painfal sensation of weight at
the stomach, as of some hard, indigesti-
BILE substance pressing upon a tender
part.

CANCER.

. DR.. Warren, of Boston, says it is a
rare thing indeed to find cancer of the
gums, tongue and lips in any but user
of tobacco. He has, in a practice of
more than twenty years, particularly
noticed this ; lie has also noticed that
when one aide only was affectefi, it was
that on which the tobacco, the cigar, or
the pipe was habiiually retained in con
tact with the part. DR.. Elisha Harris,
one of the physicians Of the New York
Dispcnsary, says that of six cases of
cancer that have been under his care
within two years, five were those of men
who used tobacco. Druitt, an eminent
London surgeon, and author of work
on surgery, testifes substantially to the
same general facts.
1t may be said that canoe is consti-
tutional disease, that it exists in the
blood, and that the ulcer is but its local
expression and that, moreover, if the
predisposition did not exist, no amount
of smoking or chewing would ever pro-
duce a cancerous ulcer. Granting all
this, the predisposition might exist for
years, perhaps for lifetime, or until Ma
ture, through some of the emunctories of
the system or by critical actin of some
kind, should find means of removing the
poison from the blood, in a way less dis
agreeable and less painful to the patients
than through an ulcerous sore on the
face, which is seldom or never healed
But when man puts quid Of tobacco
or a cigar into his mouth, Nature directs
all her energies to that point. cancerous
ulcer is the result, and in majority of
cases, all hope of cure is at an end.
Thus we see that the use of tobacco
first, originates various diseases second
ly, it aggravates those which owe their
origin to other causes thirdly, it pre-
cipitates the development of those to
which predisposi,ion exists, and which
but for its use might have slumbered.-
And, besides this, DR.. John King, of
Cincinnati, asserts that the systems of
chronic invalids who use tobacco are by
its use rendered, to great degree, un-
susceptible to the action of the various
remedies employed for their cure. Dr.
Willard Parker, of New York, says
that although tobacco users appear to be
as strong as other persons. yet when at
tackled by disease they are found to have
less constitutional stamine, and are able
to oppose but feeble resistance to its
onset while from wounds or injuries of
any kind they recover with difficulty. if
at all, while other persons get well speed
ily. Moreover, DR.. Parker says that in
his practice he has never yet found an
employee in tobacco factory who was
perfectly sound and healthy.
Anything which has such depressing
effect upon the vital energies as tobacco
must necessarily render the habitual
users of it fit subjects to be carried off
by any Epidemic which comes along
Statistics show that epidemics count
among their victims "a greatly larger mum
Der of males than of females. Of those
who die of yellow fever, the proportion
of the former to the latter is said to be
