The Philosophy of Periodical DRINKS

DIR. Cummings, of North Britain, Con

drinking establishes upon the mucous lin
ing, or coats" of the stomach NJ in
famed condition, in ~evil-looking red
patches, which hre visible after the patient
dies and his body has been subjected to a
post-mortem dissection. The men who
have periodical DRINKS, " the doctor argues,
are drawn to alcoholic drinks at about such
a time, whatever the time may be, because
the condition of their stomnchs, in healing,
under natures efforts, periodically reaches
n certain stage which calls imperatiyely for

going sober for sixty-three days. A second

American Converts.

Education in conventual schools predis.
poses to these frequent arts of self-immo-
lation. The severe regimen of such insti.
buttons, their ~seclusion, the contemplation
of sacred images, and the peculiar drift
given to the education of girls, all predis-
pose to the remuneration of the pleasures,
hopes, and duties of the world. In Europe
the selfishness Of parents often leads to the
burying alive of daughters in converts.
The expense of their maintenance is in this
way reduced or saved, and the family
are husbanded, that "A favorite
son may marry well.
In II majority of instances selfish consid-
e~rations are the cause of these unnatural
alterations of daughters from the bosom
Of their families. The PrOmessi SpOsi of
Manzoni contains n most touching illustra-
ton of these constrained and involuntary
sacrifices. In Italy and Spain the cruel
purposes to which conventual institutions
wcrc put, the misery they caused to the
young, and the infraction of the avs of
rature which they encourage, have led to
their suppression. 1t is to be hoped that
the same abuses of medieval origin are not
To be revived in this country on as great II
scale. There might be some reason for
munastic and conventual institutions in the
Middle Ages, when there was no security
for life but within their sacred enclosures.
1t is questionable, however, if they are not

ularly with the social and political interests

Why, certainly. Drunkards grow from
moderate drinkers, and moderate drinkers
from the %untaught, or wrongly educated
children Of our homes. There is n point
where the stop can be put on, and that is
N the home. Every parent is responsible
for the intemperancc of his child, if he has
not by example and precept done every
thing possible to prevent it.
If parents would take US much pains to

a society has been organized in Boston for
the purpose of ~elevating the character of
the stage. We do not know very much
about the organization, but we understand
it to be comprised of men and womcn OF
high moral and religious standing, and that
it has, or hopes to have, the cooperation OF
the clergy. If anything could be done in
.his direction, it would result in much good
10 the community. While the stage might
bs made n grand public teacher--the great
popular pulpit, its present influence is per
~nicious. Not only has it descended from
the position Of teacher to that Of something
which simply furnishes amusement, but 1t
has gathered about it the rum shop and
other influences which arc the bane OF
society, and has given place too frequently
to panoramas of disgusting immoralities-
At the theater and amidst its surroundings
many a pure boy and pure girl have been
contaminated. and started down the hill to
ruin and death. Still theaters exist, and
probably always will, and as they are capa-
bic of being harmless, q movement to purify
the atmosphere that surrounds them, and
to make them n part of our educationa
machinery. is highly coinmendable. The
work is only equalled in its d~esirability by
the difficulties that besct it, and until the
thcaters can be male as harmless as q
schoolr room and as instructive as any Other
fundamentally for iinparting education, we
have no very warm friendship for the
theatcr. We hope the Boston p~hilanthro
pists hare gone to work with the full reali
cation of the cnormity OF the job which they
AVE taken upon their hands.
