IT was an ancient custom of the Spar

IT was an ancient custom of the Spar
tans, in order to inculcate among their
youth an adherence of intemperance
and its kindred vices, to make their
slaves drunk with wine in the public
market-p places, so that the rising genera
ton, upon whom would some day de-
volve the honor and safety of the Lace
demonian Republic, might see before
them all the CHASTITY details of the drunk
ards disgrace, his loss of reason and of
physical strength. 'Twere well, per-
haps, to-day, could some of our young
men contemplate a similar instructive
lesson drawn from the life, showing
them, by sharply drawn contrast, the
advantages and true loneliness of alb
stinence and virtue.
For such as appreciate these, VINEGAR
BIrTERs is the beverage best adapted,
it being purely vegetable draught,
devoid of alcohol or mineral poisons, and
possessing all the virtues, but none OF
the damning curses, ef the different
poisons which year by year are sweep
ing away thousands of dollars and
lives. AZ

Two Boston NEIGHBoRs. The Bos-
ton Traveller, of Saturday, relates the
following: ga gentleman and lady,
strangers to each other, occupied the
same seat in a railroad car on a train in
Ohio, bound East. Various subjects
were discussed. 1t soon appeared that
both were residents of Boston and were
returning to their respective homes.
On the arrival of the train in Boston
the gent procured carriage, into which
both lady and gent entered. where
do you GO? asked the hackman. The
gent replied at No. II - street.
You may leave me at the same place,
said the lady. The gentleman had all
kinds of surmises, and could not under
stand why she was to be left at his
