Where flows a broad strong river All intoxicating drinks are dangerous in th«v proportion in which they contain alcohol. The effect of alcohol upon the brain is to distutb its action at t,he very time it is necessary to put a restraint on the quantity. Some men can and do continue todririk moderately, but others cannot do this. If tbe temperament is of a certain quality, alcohol has an effect which renders the craving of stimulants uncontrolable. And for this reason the appeti te for drink is anlike any other appetite. It differs in degree even from tho appetite lor opium or tobacco. U is unlike the appetite for food. A man may have a strong desire for a certain kind of food, and may put himself to inconveniene to get the dish he perfers; but in its absence he is content to take another article to relievo his hunger— Bnt his appetite for alcohol is not only the craving of the stomach or the palate; in some cases it is neither, but is the carving of the nerves for stimulants. The effect of alcoholic drinks upon the nerves and the brain is the cause of their all but, universal use. The effect wanted is not to fill the stomach or to give moisture to the body; but to carry the teclings beyond what is natural, to give sensations like pleasant dreams, to drown care, to bring forgetfulness of pain, and to raise the feelings to a higher ele- NEW GOODS, PLENTY OF THEM !

Intoxication is a state of the nerves which make* the man feel out of himself—about himself—beyond himsolf. At first it gives a pleasing sensation, a sense of relief from the cares of life; and to attain this quieting sense—this estatic feeling—ft the deaire of all who drink. It may not be to themselves always apparent, but nevertheless it is the exciting motive to drink. It it produced by unnatural action of the nerves, which uses up in a short time the surplus power lying dormant, a provision for the healthy action of the system. This action has, therefore, always a corresponding reaction. For example, if it is supposed that the nerve power was held in a tube Of twenty inches, each inch being marked like a thermometer, and the normal or healthy state was at ten, a glass of spirits might raise the nervous state to eleven, when the great enjoyment sought would be attained for a short time. The reaction would cause the fall to go below ten. It would fall down to nine—it must do so, as the alcohol does not impart nerve power, nor does it create it. It only calls that which we possess into action ; the reaction must, therefore, always be in exact ratio P. J. OMALLEY, (rood Stabling attached. Adjoining D. Lamb's Boot and Shoe Store. MRS. D.

If taken, therefore, for daily health, the action must be a daily waste of power—a daily using of the surplus power provided by a bountiful Providence for the emergencies of life—and a waste to be mourned when an accident hapens or an epidemic rages in the neighborhood; then the accident will not be so easily toanaged without the reserve nerve power, and the want of it may also make the uses of strong drink the more susceptible to the poison if the recuperative power of nature has been used up by daily nerve excitement.

Suddenly he broke out: Alcohol, be it then observed,causes increased action without adding the power to sustain the system at the slimulated point; consequently reaction must follow. This reaction demands more stimulant; if given, more reaction follows, to be again succeeded by a stronger desire for the stimulant, until a seeming absolute necessity lor the drink is created. In the moderate drinker this feeding is represented by a feeling of sinking, or discomfort, which is often difficult to overcome; but in the drunkard it exists as a disease before which all restraint seems powerless, and he will do anything and suffer anything rather than the anguish springing from the desire for alcohol which is now beyond his control. um tremens, JAMES BROWN.

The man of even temperament whom noth? ing ruffles, offends or puts about, may continue to drink and drink moderately all hit life without seeming danger; but even he, when some sharp calamity overtakes him, may seek shortr lived forgetfulness in the bottle, and may in a short time astonish all his friends by the swiftness of his fall. Under circumstances to which all are liable, the naturally well-balanced mind may succumb, but the fiery natures, the impulsive, the open hearted, and the generous, are as the gun cotton, which needs but the pressure or the spark to become uncontrollable, and demand more drink with all the agony of unstrung nerves.

No picture can present to them in greater horrors the agony which they themselves feel. What the man bow wants is a way to escape ; this the Temperance movement offers to him.

Then I sprang to my feet, saying, in the ooolest tone of voice possible, "I'll tear down the house ! I'll never play with with Joe again— never! He is a mean, hateful boy." And the days and nights wore drearily away, and then came, at last, the night of death. I knew it was coming—knew it from the first.
