No animal except our panther

NAL wants a stimulant merely be-
cause his origin was in the habit of
getting intoxicated. Every person
who is able to como into the habit
of getting stimulated as often as a
stimuIant can be reached, is only
copying a habit OF the animal that
thirsted for stinulant in the shape
of blood. The effect of alcohol in
the human organization is exactly
the same as the effect of blood in q
brute's body. The appetite for o
drink of alcohol is merely an appe-
tite for blood in a human being, OH
tanned from the creature whose
soul was given human fOrm.--
There is not OH the surface OF the
globe person Of either sex, who
is drunkard, that is not product
of the transformation of soul of
brute of a carniverOus character.
The thirst for rum is thirst for
what stimulated the animal. The
habit is only continued.
In every corner of the country is
crafty cat, vicious dog, a wolf
and fox, and in many places a bear
and panther are existing aud dying,
and being reproduced. The hog
tribe is a numerousf family of brutes.

which are carniverous, are hlllng

soul.like character.
In the hotter parts Of the world,
hundred times as many carnlver-
ous creatures exist, and many OF
which are great reptiles. Now in
every quarter Of the globe a cor
respondcnce Of the people to the
animals will be seen. SO clearly
manifest is this fact that an observ-
er is almost inclined to assume that
the human race is but part of the
fauna Of the country, and Of . simi-
lar species to the principal animal.
This is very unpalatable informa-
ton to civilized community, but
| it is a fact aud quite as sayory as
the wonderfully fashionable idea
called Darwiuian theory We do
not intend to allow the fact to be
forgotten that a human being is a
converted soul Of an animal.
When our work is over and a
great thinker comes upon the plain
of intellectual work, this idea will
he as well understood and fact as
much to be taken into consldera-
ton in the affairs of society as the
prowling of obnoxious ANIMALS
around human habitation.
Let it be distinctly understood
that IN every drunkard there is q
converted soul of All animal that
thirstcd for the blood Of man or
beast. The same desire Is seen,
and it is put a continuation of the
animals propensity for getting
drunk also. Only a difference In
the species Of the animal renders
one drunkard more dangerous than
another. When the person IS SO
unfortunate as to be n conversion
from wild beast of carniyerous
character, he is the pcrSonllicatlon
of furious aud heartless cruelty.
His restraint when sober is little
else than "A reaction from an excite
ment of brain and nerve when
the relapse is past, it is sure to be
followed by rush for d grog shop
