Gather on the evening blast,
Let thine . ar oh! "a Queen Sna support mo-
Hearken to the great heart secrets, :;
Thou, and thou alone, must hear.
Though my SCARED and veteran legions
Bear their eagles nigh no more,
And my wrecked and scattered galleys
Strew dark Actium's fatal shore,
Though no glitteri'g guards, surround me
Prompt to do their masters will,
must perish like a Roman.
Die tho great triumvir still.
Let not Cscsar's servile minions
Mock tho lion thus laid low;
Twas no foeman's hand that slow him,
Twas his own that struck the blow.
Hear then, pillOwed on thy bosom,
Ere his star fades quite away,
Him who, drunk with thy caresses,
Madiy flung world away!
I should the base plelian rabble
Dare assail my fame at Rome,
Where the noble spouse, Octavia,
Weeps within her widowed home,
Seek her, say the Gods have told me,
That her blood, with mine com mingled,
Yet shall mount the throne Of Kings
And for thee, star-eyed Egyptian!
Glorious Scorceress of the Nile,
Light the path to Stygian horrors
With the spiendors of thy smile.
Give the Cesar crowns and arches,
Let his brow the laurel Irvine,

Hark! the insulting foeInan's cry.

EFFECTS OF BEER DRINKING.
medical Record.7

|
The constant use OF beer is found to
produce a species of degeneration of
all the organism, profound and deep
seated. Fatty deposits, diminished
circulation, conditions Of congestion,
and pcrversion of functional activities,
local Inflammation of both the liver
and kidneys, are constantly present
Intellectually, stupor amounting
almost to paralysis arrests the reason,
precipitating all tho higher faculties
| into mere animalism, sensual, sell
fish, sluggish, varied only with para
oxystns of anger that nrc scilselcss and
brutal.
In appearance tho beer drinker may
be the picture Of health, but in reality
he is most incapable of resisting dis
ease. A slight injury, severe cold, or
| shock 10 the body or mind, will COM
monty provoke acute disease, ending
| fatally. Compared with inebriates
who use different forms Of alcohol, he
| is more incurable, and more generally
! diseased. The constant use of beer
every day gives the system no time
for rccuperation, but steadily lowers
the vital forces.
| 1t is our observation that beer drink
ing in this country produces the very
lowest forms of inebriety, closely al
lied to criminal insanity. The most
dangerous class of tramps and ruffians
In our cities are beer drinkers. 1t is
asserted by competent authority that
: the evils of hereditability are more
: positive in this class than from alco-
, holics.
If these facts arc We'll founded. tho
recourse to beer us substitute for
alcohol merely increases tho danger
. and fatality following.

LIFE S4JING on TIE LAKES.

While our nver and ocean going
steamers have been illustrating the risks
to life on the great highways OF COM
merce, Secretary Sherman has published a
statement of the work done by the ife-saying
crews In less than six months upon the great
lakes. Few Of our readers, probably, have any
idea of the risk of life upon these inland seas
and the consequent necessity for stations Of
the service. From July 1 to December II,
1870 the Secretary states. eighty-fOur vessels
met with disasters imperilling their
crews. On board these vessels were ,G44
PERSONS of whom all were saved but one
The total value Of the property endangered
was 81, ,Oj5, ,662; of which $626, GO was saved
Some Of the individual accounts OF wrecked
vessels and the rescue of lives In heavy seas
and driving storms, hOmely statements written
by the district officers or keepers, have all tho
dramatic force of q chapter from Hugo or
Dickens. Among the most touching OF these
is the story of the rescue of the captain and
crew Of the Mercury, ALL badly frozen and
driven ashore in frghtful storm near
Pentwater. Their one boat was stove in, the
schooner was covered with ice and gong TO
pieces they knew that there was no life
saving station near, and, knowing appeals for
help were useless, huddled together in the
cabin and gave themselves up to death.
At midnight the crew from 4 station fifteen
miles away appeared on deck. They had risked
their lives to bring their boat up u the wreck !;
and SO exhausted were the men and so great
was tie fury of the sea, that it was almost inn
possible to bring them safely ashore. But it
was done, and not life was lost.
Another is the account of the loss Of the J.
Bertsche, wrecked seven miles from Point aux
Basques. The crew from that station fought
with storm and sea like heroes, and brought of
every soul on bOard-forty -four in all. After
wards they returned for the luggage and vau
able property, and rem aimed all night on guard
t1 protect it. Every man of this heroic crew, as
our readers will remember, was lest abe ut two
months age in a desperate endeavor tC aid an
ether shipwrecked vessel, leaving wives and
children Totally unprovided for. THE TRIBUNE
called attention then to the necessity Of giving
pensions to the families of men who give their
lives In this most noble and helpful branch of
the service, but nothing has 80 far been done In
the matter. AS q mere matter of policy it
would be effective. The remembrance of wife
and children left to starve If he falls Is likely to
paralyze the arm of the most heroic soldier in
the moment when his courage and GOODNESS are
most requisite, whether his duty be to take life
or to save ii.

counted the chances,and let their great oppcr-
tunity go by. 1t was not becau+c their army
WAS small, their treasury low, and their coast
exposed to the encmy's fleet. 1t was because
they expected to get the provinces without taxi
ing the trouble to fight for them. It was be-
cause they had more faith in diplomacy than in
vaor and self-sacrifce. 1t was because they
had implicit confidence in the good Offices Of
Great Britain and the Powers. This is "A plain
fact, which cannot be altered by glittelinS
phrases about the glories of ancient llellas.
If Europe only helped those who helped them
selves, it would do little or nothing for the
Greeks. The Western Powers, however, are
bound IN honor to make the cause of the little
maritime kingdom their own. During the
Russo Turkish war they brought diplomatic
pressure to bear upon the court at Athens, cOun-
selling inaction and neutrality, on the ground
that everything could be gained by peace.
The British Government when the war party
were making headway, gave the Kings advisers a
distinct assurance, as the Blue Books show, that
the interests of Greece would be looked afteI IN
any event. When the Berlin Congress met
this pledge was forgotten, and nothing would
have been done in behalf Of the little kingdom
if the French Premier had not been anxious 70
make the new Republic prominent in Euro
pean council. The recommendations OF the
Congress were inserted in the Treaty at his in
stance and subsequently, when the Porte de-
clined to make any concessions, he rcOpened
negotiations with such zeal and determination
that Lord BoaconsGeld's Ministry was con-
strained to support him. After two years OF
diplomacy, European Conference has under
taken to mark out new frontier and to suggest
o solution Of the question. The twenty-tOurth
article of the Treaty offers the mediation OF the
Powers in case the Porte and Greece are unable
to g gree upon boundary. That is to say, Il
definite proposal will be substituted for an in
definite recommendation. When the surveys
are made, and the maps and tracings are
officially submitted to the Sultan, he will be at
liberty to withhold his consent. The generous
friendship of France and the good Offices of tho
Powers will be of little avail if coercive
measures are dlsavOwed. The Turk knows
what "must' means. lie pays no heed to
would better"
It is the absence of anything like n
menace of coercion in the Greek clauses
of the Treaty Of Berlin which makes
the speech of Mr.. Gladstone at the rccep-
ton of King George in London so significant.
He has always been n Jealous advocate OF the
policy of Canning, and has repeatedly de-
nounccd Lord Bcaconsiicld for bctrayinG the
cause Cf Greece. lie now pledges to the strug-
Cling nation the unequivOca support Of the
present Ministry. IIeis in full accord with the two
French Premicrs who have taken so determined
a stand on this question. When there Is this
hearty agreement between the Western
Powers the Sultan may not resent the intcrven-
tion of Europe The Grcchs may get the ter
ritory which they demand, although they have
not earned it.

TILE CLAINS OF GREECE.

The claims of Greece. which the Berlin Con-
gress has taken up this week, are grounded upon
European promises rather than national deserts.
Why should people who were indifferent to
the sulerinGs of the oppressed populations
of tho Balkan peninsula, and who were
unwilling to fight when the Roumanians
Servians, and MOntencSrins were making war
upon the Turks, now have the cordial sympathy
and active cooperation of the European Powers 7
They had themselves found deliyerauce half a
century before from the bondage of the Porte
yet they were the only race in Southeastern
Europe that lacked the courage to take up arms
If they had gone to the assistance of the Thes-
salans and Epirots in the Summer of 1877, they
might have liberated two provinces and more
than doubled their own territory. But they
