"The sufferings of this country ir
the absence of Democratic rule,
during the last fourteen years, have
cautioned the American people to re-
store that good old party that carried
them to triumph in their former
years, and whose principles alone
can perpetuate their Institutions.
81 thank you" [Applause.
The above is an extract from Gov.
Aliens jolifcation speech over the
recent Democratic victories. The
venerable and foolish man actually
imagines that such stuff would be
swallowed by people who have seen
and lived through the Rebellion.
His advancing the idea of the coun-
try having suffered sin the absence
of Democratic rule" when the South
ern wing of that party, aided by its
Northern Copperhead allies, was do
ing it's prettiest to destroy the Union,
shows that the old fellow is really in
his dotage.- Cleveland Leader.

Drunkenness destroys men-soul
and body: '.No drunkard shall in
herit the kingdom of God"
OF itself a sufficient bar to saliva
ton, it frequently leads to other and
more heinous crimes, as murders,
blasphemies, rioting, etc.
He who leads others into sin
shall share their condemnation:
"Woe to him that putteth the bottle
to his neighbor's lipsl' Tt is for the
express purpose of pandering to this
depraved appetite that whisky is
mads and bought and sold; this the
producer knows.
y When the farmer sells his grain to.
thsd Ser. foreseeing, as he must,
the almost inevitable consequences,
he becomes in a measure responsible
for those consequences.
A Christian is concerned for the
salvation of his fellow-men Can he
knowingly and willingly allow his
grain to become the agent of their
eternal destruction? "Judge this,
rather, that no man put stumbling
block or an occasion to fall in his
brothers way"
Can a soldier carry ammunition
and supplies into the enemy's camp,
and remain loyal to his own flag?
''No man can serve two masters"
The increased price which the
farmer may receive cannot weigh
against principle. "The love of
money is the root of all evil"
"What shall it profit a man if he
gain the whole world and lose his
own soul?"
He may, indeed, devote the means
to charitable purposes. The thirty
pieces of silver may buy the potter's
field to bury strangers in, but the
end does not sanctify the means.
The argument: "f I did not,
some one else acould,' will not bear
scrutiny. 1t is the never-failing
refuge of the quarter-masters of the
army of King Alcohol, whose love of
gain would fain silence their consci-
entious scruples. The manufacturer,
the wholesale dealer, the spiritual"
druggist, and the dramseller, each,
and with equal propriety, plead the
same excuse.
''It must needs be that offenses
will come, but 400 to that man by
whom the ofense cometh.
Conscienee-smitten Cain is ever
crying, "Am ! my brothers keeper?'
but by no specious pleading can he
escape the responsibility of his own
acts.
Have you consecrated all you have
to the service of God and your fellow
men? Do you earnestly desire that
none should perish, but that all
should come to repentance Can
you, then, assist in sowing the
seed whose harvest shall be reckon
ed by ruined souls? ALIUS.

Adams Co., o., has sustained great
loss, in the death of Sandford E.
Kendall, eldest son of Thornton and
Mary A. Kendall, who departed this
life Nov. Is, 1874, in the 25th year of
his age. He was young man ofrare
qualities, blessed with mind of SUI
perior order, which was collegiately
trained from child. He was a great
reader and close student.
Young Kendall was well known in
many parts of the county, having
been engaged in school teaching.
He had many warm friends wherever
he was known. His moral character
was spotless. He was honorable,
courteous, and kind to all. He died
of heart disease, at the home of his
grandfather, Benny Kendall, one
mile west of Winchester. His last
hours were peaceful, as Christ, his
only hope, was near.

CURE FOR DRUNKENNESS If the fol-
lowing is an effectual cure for this terrible
disease, it should find place in the columns
of every paper in the country. Drunken
ness is not only a disease calamity more
fearful in its effects, than any that has ever
sconrged mankind
There is curious prescription in Eng
land for the cure of drunkenness, By which
thousands are said to have been assisted in
recovering themselves. The recipe came
into notoriety through the eae,rts OF John
Vide Hall father Of the Rev. Newmen
Hall and Captain Vine Hall, commander
of the Great Eastern steamship. He had
fallen into such habitual drunkenness that
his utmost efforts to regain himself proved
unavailnS. At length he sought the advice
of an eminent physician, who gave him
prescription which he followed faithfully for
several months, and at the end of that
time he had lost all desire for liquors, al
though he had sor many years been led cap
tive by most debasing appetite. The
recipe, which be afterwards published, and
by which 80 many have been assisted to re-
form, is as follows: ''Sulphate OF iron, )
grains magneasia, 10 grains pepperment
water, II grains; spirit of nutmeg, drachu;
to be taken twice day." This prepara-
ton acts as tonic and stimnlant, and so
partly supplies the place of the accustomed
liquor, and prevents that absolute physical
and moral prostration that follows sud-
den breaking off from the use of stimula-
ting drinks.
