Ir is a sad reflection when we so
over the country and visit the towns,
TO see so many young men under the
influence Of Intoxicating liquors. The
habit is confined mostly to the young
men. Liquor is, no doubt, a valuable
medicine when kept within that sphere ;
but the drinking Of it as a beverage, is
u growing aud dangerous evil, and one,
if continued long, will as certainly lead
70 ruin and disgrace, as the drunkard
lives. The young nan will loose all
sense Of self respect and consent to be
a hog. The young married man, with
out regard TO his parentagc, or stand
ing, will get drunk and lie out at night
when his dear wife and little children
are ut home, lonely and distressed,
passing away the dark silence Of the
night in fear and anSiety, perhaps
without n bite to cat or a stick Of wood
to burn, while the dear husband and
father is 80 drunk that he is either not
able to go home, or ashamed to so home.
Such is u calamity and only tends to
ALLEVIATE the wife from her husband,
and to destroy the domestic relations,
and to finally produce a separation. We
could name fit examples Of this in our
own community. How much better
Wolld 1t he, If that young man had
saved his money which he paid for
whiskey, and had provided his family
with the nCcessarics Of life with it and
been at home enjoying the company
and s%ocicty of his dear wife and little
ones making their love and affections
stillIreatcr and stronger. We hope
these suggestions may be read and may
interest our readers. while our jour-
nal is ostcnsible to give news to our
patrons, still when at any time we
can improve the morals Of society, we
feel it cur duty to do so. Young gem
tIcmen, think Of It and improve by it,
Truth will prevail it is said.

A. Murrcll the place where the ceIe-
brated bandit chief was born, and play
ed around those now scattered hearth
stones in boyish innocense looks dreary
and desOlate. 1t is a hill of broom sage
and thOrny thickets, a covert and Il

other great criminals, it seems to be
avoided as Il habitatiOn by men and

rObber and chief of a banditti. But he
was not believed by those who knew
him long and well to be the red handed

was by many believed to lie a member

TIE following is what the Cincinnati
Trade-I.ist thinks of those character,
who complain of their country papers,
aud, Instead Of helping to support them
send on for a large city paper and thus
help to sustain them:
"a gentleman writes 10 rs that his
county paper is 50 poor that he has
stopped IL; therefore sends us three
dollars for the Trade-List. We repeat
that we 90 not want subscribers on
these terms. A mans county paper i
worth more to him than all the papeIs
Ia the world, or if it is not it is his
fault. If the county paper Is properly
encouraged it may be relied upon for
in formation of more value to the people
in whose interest it j. Issued than can
tie found in all city papers in the Uni
ted States. No man can afford to be
without the paper that publishes the
official advertisements OF his county
the public Sllcs, markets, court news
and other local intelligence. If the
paper is poor, the people are more at
fauit than the publishers for not giving
it q liberal patronage. However poor
the county paper may be, it is always
worth more than ii costs to those inter
cstcd in the affairs OF the county.

birds, "snaix," and kangaroo. While
waiting on the printers for his bills, he
amused Brown by telling an endless
number Of anecdotes, all of which were
duly treasured up. Among these were
some of the incidents in Browns article
entitled edwin Forest as Othello." He
referred to the following rs one OF the
contributions of the original Artemus
Ward:

" Wall, sez |, I'd appint your fun

korps should be ready! You're too
smart to live on this earth"
The old man claimed himself to be
the hero of this story. Brown, how
ever, wanted the credit of correcting
the spelling and of dressing the stories
up in good literary style. Pleased with
the name, he attached it to several of
his comic productions, and finding that
it took with the public, adopted "a.
