Many persons v * ho are in the e utlrnied habit of drinking, to excess, conscious of the evil tendency of such practices, cm tend that the promotion of sociality, and friendship, is their inducement to drinking, hot lot them take “experientia docet” as their motto, and I w ould then ask •hem, it one link, in the chain, of true friend ship, w.io cv r formed. r>r rivetted, by the in tercourse of drinking * The very contrary, l‘!<sjn many instances been the case, men be tv cen whom, their set on and to exist, the strong est ties of esteem, and respect, have become gradually estranged from eneit other, as toon as one lias embraced the principles of temper- i once; and the foods, w Inch seemed to unite men inseparably, have become as though they had never been. Others again aver, that, dis appointment. e; a disquieted mind, have driven them to this, as a last resource from adversity; but. alas ! la w delusive is the idea, that the the ettp of intoxication, can drown a single sorrow. The stimulus, ami mental excite- ment, produced by such means, and with such a hope, are but the prelude to a bi’ter disap pointment, and arc like, the iigimtingV vivid dash, across the midnight sky, giving darkn. a deep* r.-bade; the subject of such illusions, is like the poor mariner, whom a false light has deluded from Ills course. and whose l rear he rons ray. but enables him. to view more dis tinctly, lire destruction >f his devoted bark.

It was a monopoly of this kind w hich led to the pillage of Mart’s flour store. The same plan for speculation upon the staff of life was pursued this year: but in consequence of the abundat crops of wheat which have been harvested throughout the F, States, they are not able to get any thing like first cost lor the article, and tile consequence is that several establishments have “caved in” . —and the poor are likely to obtain bread upon . reasonable terms. i F; ;:-:x lot.

There is no ground for believing that ihe lapse of three years have tended in llie least to erase these impressions from the mind of Nan Ia Anna.
