Opium Drunkards.

The public were shocked not long since
by the account Of the death OF lady, the
daughter Of one OF the most eminent pro
fesaional men in the country, from an ovel
dose Of morphine. The wretched story
was published all over the country.
The woman was young and beautiful.
She had high culture, and was by nature
gentle. loving and lovable. A few years
ago she began to take opium for some
disease, and soon became its victim. All
her struggles against it were in vain. AT
an age when she should have been in the
full vigor Of her womanhoood, happy
ands retired wife and wother, she died
alone, and her down fall and disgrace
were blazoned in every city Of the Union.
Opium drunkenness is said to be on the
increase in this country, and it prevails
largely among women. Very few matrons
or young girls, when suffering from weak
ness or nervous disorders, would resort to
brandy or whiskey. But dose of laud-
anum, or some othor anodyne, they regard
as harmless
Physicians too, hcedlessly prescribe
something which they vaguely call
"drops," TO an overworked mother, or
young girl exhausted by incessant dane
ing or flirting, When the proper remedies
would be few weeks rest from labor and
care, and more wholesome, rational life.
American women are, as a rule, ener-
getic. The busS housekeeper and the
eager belle find resort to seemingly inno-
cent little black bottle, when they are
run down" much easier than the giving
up OF work, or the sacrifice OF balls or ger
mans. Before they are conscious OF their
danger, they are victims to the most hope
less and terrible appetites they are opium
drunkards II is probable that no one who
has ever become addicted to this habit has
been able to conquer it. DeQuincy wrote
& book that for dramatic horror and pathos
has not its like in literature. 10 prove that
il was possible TO rise out "oi the deep"
but he sank sgain, helpless and hopeless.
The best monograph on the opium hab-
it written in America is the work Of
brilliant man Of letters, who believed him
self cured, yet died its victim. Most Of
our readers can recall at least one opium
drunkard whom they have known. The
liyid, corpse-like skin, the CLASSY eye, the
vague air Of terror. are unmistakable.
They are signs that the nightmare. life-in.
death. has siezed it's prey, aud is dragging
i. surely down TO the grave.
