The Danger of Wine.

1 had widows son committed to my
care. He was heir to a great estate. He
went through the different stages of col
lege, and finally left, with good moral
character and bright prospects. But dur
ing the course of his education he had
heard the sentiment advanced, which I
then supposed correct, that the use of
tOines was not only admissible, but a real
auxiliary to the temperance cause. After
he had left college for few years he con-
tinued respectful to me. At length he
became reserved. One night he rushed
unceremoniously into my room, and his
appearance told the dreadful secret. He
said he came to talk with me. He had
been told during his senior year that it
was safe to drink wine, and by that idea
he had been ruin ed. l asked him if his
mother knew this. He said no; he had
carefully concealed it from her. I asked
him if he was such a slave that he could
not abandon the habit. 'sTalk not to me
ofslavery,'' he said: ''I am ruined. and
before go to bed 1 shall quarrel with the
bar-keeper of the TOntine for brandy or
gin to satiate my burning thirst" In one
month this young man was in his grave.
4t went to my heart Wine is the cause of
ruin to a great proportion of the young
men OF our country.-Professor Goodrich.

General Porter's case.

The report of the military board ap-
the case of General Fitz John Porter
leaves no room for two opinions with re
spect to that officers innocence of the
offence for which he was dismissed the
service. After a thorough examination of
all the facts, in the light of accurate topo-
graphical maps, and with the testimony
of General Longstreet and other southern
officers upon points which it was impos-
sible to determine at the first trial because
this testimony was not then to be had, a
Board consisting of Generals Schofield
and Terry and Colonel Getty, have re-
ported, not as matter of opinion but as
matter of fact, that the charges were
made and the finding of the original
court delivered in error; that the facts
were misunderstood; that General Porter
was thus unjustly condemned, and that
justice demands his restoration to his rank
in the army, to date from the time of his
undeserved dismissal.
Such a report, we say from such Board,
leaves the public with no opportunity for
hesitation or doubt. 1t clears General
Porter's name entirely ofthe stigma placed
upon it in misapprehension of the facts
sixteen years ago.
General Porter's friends have occasion
for rejoicing. The public, which is with
out special interest in the matter, will re-
joice not so much because General POr-
ter's good name is restored to him as be-
cause abstract justice is satisfied by the
investigation, and because some vexed
questions in the history of our war are
finally solved. The testimony taken by
the Board is an important contribution to
exact historical knowledge; it forms by
itself a pretty complete and unquestiona-
bly, accurate history of the brief compaign
which ended in the second battle of Bull
) Run. With all that has been writer
about the war, there is no battle of the
) four years-not even Gettysburg itself
} concerning which the student can inform
himself so minutely or so accurately a
) he may with respect to General Pope
struggle with jackson in August, 1S12.-
