few hopeful signs from the action Of the Ad-
ministration, so far. The promise of reform
has not been backed up by performance:

and common good, than self-restraint, the
controlling Of ones liberty. Does he who
locks himself within at night, thereby shut
ting out the midnight robber and assassin,
feel that he has curtailed his liberty ? rather,
has he not increased, by the security thus
afforded, the freedom and enjoyment OF his
being within? So should we put down the
latch and bar the door against unholy appe-
tites that would enter to consume and de-
stroy. .
The necessity of the application of this
restraint to the subject Of Intemperanee, was
most urgent; the responsibility of using al
coholic liquors being most momentous, both
with regard to ones self and as to its infu-
euce over others. The havoc of Intemper-
ance in our land was appalling; 2Oo,ooe,Ooo
gallons of spirits were annually manufactured
"a great liquid sea, whose tidal wave was
rolled from the Atlantic shore, inundatlng
in its course, the streets of cities, town and
villages, sweeping over intermediate plains
until its desolating force, after producing a
holocaust of 100000 lives, was expended
only on the opposite coast of the Pacific.
What army could effect more desolate re-
suits?
The economic views. too, the expense Of !
this destruction, $500, 900, 900; sum suffi-
cient to meet the provident expenditures OF
nearly every good government.
Then were presented graphic delneations
of individual cases Of sufering-the heart
broken, sacrificed wife, who but few years
before had, in trusting confidence, given
herself to him who had sacredIy promised to
love, cherish and protect her J.; where were
those promises now ? and what was she but
a withered flower, crushed by tho demon
that revels in the destruction Of happy
homes. Then followed penetrating appeal
to each and all, to arrest the strong food
tide of ruin, by obedience to the salutary law
of self restraint, so that both precept and OK
ample might have full sway
1t was happy effort for an important
cause, and seemed to be highly appreciated
by a large and attentive audience.

The Last Hours of Commodore Maury.

A correspondent of tho Albany Eve. Jour-
nal furnishes to that journal letter from
one who was with Commodore Maury in his
last hours, and who testifes in tender and
interesting manner to the happy death OF
that man. We quote: ~ -.
The last two days of Matthew H. Maury's
life were grand Ia complete triumph. In
perfect possession of his faculties to the last.
wieh all the world could have seen that
death, it was such triumphant one. We
sang hymns around. his dying bed, and after
the last one, Friday evening-it was "Christ
is risen" put his hands and said, slowly
and distinctly: "The peace Of God which
passeth all understanding be with you all
all" He blessed every one separately,
and prayed ever as fervently and in the most
beautiful language He said he would be
in moribund condition for several days.
Twice Friday, we were all summoned; he
would look around, and if oil were not in
the range of his sight he would call out the
names Of those whom he missed. Gazing
earnestly into the face of each, he said
something appropriate and afectionate, al.
ways winding up with You see how God
has answered my prayer,,I know you every
one." He said,' II shall retain my senses to
the end. God has granted me that as a
token of my acceptance. l have set my
house in order. Ny prayers have all been
answered. My children are gathered around
my bed, and now, Lord, what wait ! forT
He then repeated prayer Of eleven petitions,
which he wanted each Of his children and
grandchildren to use every day. He had
composed it for himself almost forty years
ago, the night after his leg was broken, and
he had repeated it every night since, not
missing one; and then he prayed: :.
"Oh Lord, touch my lips with hallowed
FIRE, like Isaiahs of old, that may testify to
thy love and mercy to me, who am but lit
tie child in all save wickedness." Ne re-
quested that when the physicians pronounced
him dying he should be informed Of it. AS
the supreme hour drew near, he turned to
his SON and asked him in the language OF the
ruling passion, "Do / seem to draw my
anchors?" The answer, "They are sure
and steadfast," gave him great comfort.
Just before he expired, he said distinctly:
aLord, receive my soul" and lifting up
both hands towards Heaven, like a>child
who wants to be taken up, calling on the
name of his father. So he passed away at
twenty minutes to one o'clock Saturday
morning. He left request that his funeral
should not take place until the spring and
tbSr ha wishod his moor, body to be taken
through the Goshen Pass, when the
rhododendrons and the laurel are in bloom,
and asked us to pluck their blossoms as VIC
passed and shower them over his bier as We
bore him to his final resting place in Frede-
ricksburg or Richmond.

A FEARFUL VISITOR The Paris s,

A FEARFUL VISITOR The Paris Star
relates tho following story:
A Mime. Bonnean, living in the Rue
Descartes, was sitting in her parlor a few
days since, awaiting her husbands return to
dinner, whea a man of wild and haggard ap-
pearance entered, and, seating himself OPP
posite to her, addressed her in the following
terms: 81 am q great doctor. / can effect
ually cure all headaches. | have heard that
YOU suffer from that cause, and | am come to
cure YOU" The lady perceiving- that she
had to deal with madman, prudently SEEM
cd to fall into his humor, and asked what was
his method of treatment Simple enough,
madame" said he drawing a razor from his
pocket; II cut off the head, and then, after
having well cleaned it, replace it upon the
shoulders" Upon this he prepared to suit
the action to his words. Mime. Bonneau,
with great coolness, professcd her readiness
to submit to the operation, but suggested
that she should fetch towel from the next
room to prevent her dress from being stain
ed. Her visitor assented to the reasonable
ness of this suggestion, and she left her
room, locking the door behind her. Upon
her return with some police officers, they
found that the unfortunate maniac had cut
his own throat, but not fatally. 1t was as
certained that he had escaped from lunatic
asylum at Clermont les Pres, and had been
vainly sought for during whole month.

How A PARENT PLAYS INDIAN AND
GETS THE WORST OF IT-A New Yorker is
very much annoyed because his two boys
have read so many Indian stories that they
have gone wild with anxiety to play Indian,
to 60 on the plain hunting for noble red men.
The man was taking nap after dinner in
his easy chair, when he was awakened by an
alarming noise and a strange sensation in
his head. He jumped up suddenly, and
found that one of his boys, dressed in a red
table cloth and his face decorated with blue
paint was trying to scalp his father with a
carving knife, while the other boy, attircd
in a blanket shawl and rooster feather,
fourishcd hatchet and emitted war whoops
from behind thicket composed of two chairs
and a card table. The man decided to put
stop to this kind of thing. So next day
when the boys were playing with bows and
arrows in the garden, he dressed himself IN
an Indian costume and jumped over the
fence with wild, uneartyly yell, for the
purpose of frightening those children. The
Oldest boy however, stood is ground, and
drawing an arrow to the head in which was
inserted ten.penny nail, he buried it in the
chieftains leg before he took to fight. That
night the father walked up stairs on t,
crutch, and fogged the family all around
before he sent them to bed. lie is now
thinking of some other way to effect cure
of the sanguinary disposition of his offspring
