never once drunk we find him
psychologically changed for the
worse in his independence of mind,
in his spontaneity. After a man
has passed forty, such changes are
very apt to be faster, and more de-
cided. We see such a mans work
and his fortune suffering, but we
dare not call him either a drunkard
or dissipated, because, as a matter
or fact, he has never been drunk,
and never intends to be drunk.
Whether this degeneration takes
place soon or late depends upon
inherent resistiyc capacities of his
brain cells. In some individuals
the resistive capacity against al.
cohol is so great that for years they
may indulge in its excessive use
without this degeneration taking
place to any great extent, but in
ether instance we have it very
rapidly developed indeed.
Some men pass into a premature
old age and become Old at fifty,
when they CAght to have lived on
and been young men up to sixty,
and this merely owing to the ex-
cessive use of alcohol. Memory
and the power of thinking are
effected, but you see the lowering
most in the finer faculties, the
tastes, the more delicate percept-
IONS Of things, and the farce Of
character. This is an effect which,
/ believe, is especially to be
observed in men who have used
their intellectual powers constant.

this effect on the brains Of men in
our profession Of medicine, at the
the bar, and even among the cleri-
cal profession, in a very marked
degrcc,wIthout their mental pewers
having been greater to begin with,
and with a finer edge on them,
you notice in a more marked way
this degeneration in its progress.
This, I may say, is the least marked
mental effect Of alcohol taken, not

takenin greater quantity than the

some brains a very small quantity

something New In the Law.

Senator Vance claims that the
pcoplc of North Carolina are the
most law.abiding people in the
world, and to prove it tells OF a
newly appointed justice of the
peace who on a public occasion,
when a fight was about to com
mrnce, commanded the peace, and
preserved it by rushing between
two combatants, drawing a knife a
foot in length, and threatening in
slant death to the man that should
violate the public peace.

Of an incident which illustrates
admirably the love of justice which
animatcs our excellent body of
magistrates, as we'll as their inge-
nuity in threading the mazes OF

the facts are established by the

My Drummer-Boy

Well-nigh twenty years have
passed since the sound of the last
gun of the war of the Rebellion
died away in silence. The enmi-
ties and heart-burnings which were
engendered by the bitter struggle
are buried with the nations dead.
The blue and gray who fell lie
peacefully side by side, andwe, the
blue and gray who live, have clasp
ed hands together, andspoken loyal
words Of courtesy and friendship.
But the children of that dark
hour have grown to be young men
and won en-, and know little of war
but its holiday pOmp and glory so
| have brought this little sketch
from memory's portfolio that they
may catch a passing glimpse OF Its
stern reality, and partly, too, that
they may see how suffering heroism
sometimes finds its home in young,
brave hearts.
Ealy in the year 1863 the Union
forces, in one Of the regiments OF
which was an officer, lay encamp-
ed near Wilmington, North Carroll

of prisoners, and the sick from An
dersOnville had been carried by
boat down the Cape Fear River to
Wilmington.
Partly from sympathy, and part
ly, perhaps, from curiosity, l had
come in from our camp, which was
located a few miles out Of the city
to visit the hospital. An old brick
warehouse was utilized for this
purpose. 1t was long, low, mar

The Christmas free.

The custom of decoration by
green plants and flowers in all
sorts of festivals is an old history,
and Of course the use of evergreens
at Christmas needs no explanation,
nor is the custom any less Christian
because it is Of immemorlal use
among pagan nations. The mis-
tletoe, however, had unique place.
The Celtic peoples and the Drulds
held it in the same yeneratlOn that
the Romans did. 1t was used Dy
Romans in religious ceremonies,
and it may have been the golden
bough' Of the internal regions. Inc
Druids gathered it against the
festival Of the winter solstlce Win
great solemnity, the prince OF the
Druids cutting himself with q
golden sickle. 1t was used rs
charm against evil spirits, aud ex'
cellent medical properties are as
cribed to it. 1t was supposed 70
possess the power to preserve from
poison, and the mystic property Oh
giving fertility. kissing under
the mistleto' may have had refer
ence to this ancient belief. There
was tradition that the maid who
WAS not kissed under bough OF
mistletoe at Christmas would not
be married during the following
year. There was once a notion
that its heathen origin should ex'
clnde it from the Christmas deco.
rations; but this found no favor
with the young people at any
period. On the contrary, they took
GOOD care that it should be hung,
and that it should have plenty OF
berries, for the ceremony under it
was not duly performed if a berry
was not plucked off with each kiss,
and consequently the supply OF
berries determined the number OF
kisses. 1t did not need the ho'
man use Of the plant to recommend
such preventive Of the state OF
old.maidism. Some trace tue use
of green bush decoration to the
original branches of vervaln among
the Romans. With Romans and
Druids the vervain was a panacea
for every i'll, and they believed,
above all, that it 'concillated hearts
which we're at variance'-another
good Office of any plant in tho
Christmas season. The Druids
only venerated the mistletoe that
grew on the oak, but the common
mistletoe (ViScUs Glbam), with its
pearly berries, is gathered from the
hawthorn, the old apple-tree, the
lime, and the fir, and from other
trees. Of late years this parasite
has been scarcer than formerly,
and efforts have been made to
propagate it. This is done by
cleaning Of the bark under any
Joint of a young tree with the
moistened thumb, and then press
ing the glutinous berry on the
cleaned place till it adheres to the
back: it will begin to show growth
in abowth in about fifteen months.
1t is an obvious suggestion that In
sections of the country where the
statistics show a falling of in
marriages this plant ought not TO
be let die out.-Hayp ers MGgdli''e.
