Evil OF Intssnpsranes.

food and their souls with wholesome pray.

bravely Tough. and nobly won by the gal.
lant Norman clans.
Pliny, who was no Christian, concludes
the twenty-cighth chapter Of one Of his
books with a most eloquent appeal for tenn
perance.
How strange" he exclaims, "tFat men
will devote such labor and expense for
wine when water, as is seen in the case OF
animals. is the most healthful drink-a
drink, too. supplied by nature; while wine
takes away reason. engenders insanity,
leads to thousands of crimes. and imposes
such an enormous expense on nations.
From wine comes that pallid hue,
dropping eyclids and trembling hands,
sleep made hideous by furies during nights
of rest!essness." He adds that many are
led into this condition by the self.inter-
ested advice OF physicians who seek to
commend by some novel remedy"
As have said. The influence OF the sa-
loon and of drink has marked itself on
the face OF nations, as well as on the face
OF man from the earliest ages to the pres

rogated to itself such privileges as at the
present day in America.-The Rev. Father

Of one hundred years the branches
