A sweet reeling of nloiiuiolioly plcssuro Spreads over us, ns tlio twilight of this beautiful Sunday eve approaches to dark ness. Olir Inliids ltnlurally refer to the tholihecnlilo tablets of memory, and read from tiicin tlio good or had that lias trans pired during Oto week that linn Just passed away from us forovor. Tlio Inquiry arises til our minds, lmvo wo so lived that theto Is no regret for tho notions of tho past wcekV Ilavowo dono nnythlug to rondor thoso nromul.us happy? Aro tlioro any poor nmiclcti creatures In our midst to whom wo Itavo administered tho dll of consolation to their troubled tnludB, or tho balm of healing to tliolr bodies diseased? If so yVo surely hnvo much to rnnko us happy, in tlio thought of having donoono good action. .On tho contrary, has it been Iti ouFpowor to afford rcllof to somo poor crcnturo, and wo hnvo “passed by on tho other siapn nml rendered no ofslstanco either to body or mind? If so wo have much causo for regret, and surely cannot .liccoutcntcd until we have done something good to erase tho thought from tho tablet of memory. If any human thought can' bo compared to tlio omenntlons of Divini ty it is certainly that of tho poets prayer, “Teach mo to feel anotheV'a woe, To tihlo tlio fault I hoc, That mercy I to others show*, That mercy show to me.” For kilulness rendered to a poor BUlfercr, I thunk you, God bless you eood man, coming from n. lrcnrt ovcrllowing with gratitude, is bettor pnjj tlmn any treasure of cafth. Tho oiic nils the soul with de light, tho other the purse that may be ta ken from you. Hero id a poor wayward wanderer, seduced in youth from the path of rectitude by. the evil influences flint sur rounded him. lie says by his actions that he wishes to return to the paths of virtue; will you take him by tho hand, treat him as a friend, a brother, ndvlsowlth him, console him, pray with and for him, and by gentle * means, nud kind treatment; make him a useful man, an ornament to society? Or will you, in 3'our proud heart, scorn him from you, treat him with un- kindness, and indifference, and thus drive him* deeper in sin and shame? What a beautiful sentiment was taught us Vi’ the divine Muster, when the woman who had .sinned was accused and brought before him. “He that hath no sin let him cast the llrst stone.” “Go and sin no more.” There is more of the (rod-man, more of divinity, in those words, than in all the mi nicies ;>erformcd.

Washington, September 8.—The Cu- h\!is have the following to the 20th uit: A reeonnoitering force of seven hundred men from.Puerto Principe has beeu defeated. Jt is reported that Puerto Principe isabah doned, the Spaniards having retreated to Neuvitas. Yalnmmla’s forces moved from Ia>8 Tuims nnd attacked the Cubans, who were concentrating in that vicinity under Quesada. Valamzeda commanded the Spaniards. Ills forco was composed of twen ty llvehiindred rcgularsaud fifteen hundred volunteers. Tho engagement lasted four hours. The Spaniards were repulsed with heavy loss. The Cuban loss is one hun dred. Valamzeda found refuge under the fortifications of Los Tunas, which Qucsa- .da,without artillery, was unable to attack. A fight is reported iu Puerto La Maude, in which the Spanish force, over seven hundred, was defeated. It is stated that after the first fire tho troops deserted eu masse to the Cubans, when the officers were captured and paroled by Jordan.

The problem before philanthropists, in this country nnd in Grcat-Uritnin, Is tho cheek or removal of the ruinous habit of intemperance In the uso of intoxicating drinks. The time lms gone by when a publicist with no less reputation than Ed mund Burke could argue ngninst tho dis use of spirituous and malt liquors, because a falling oil' iu their consumption would dimlfilsh tho public revenue; fora fairer view of tho subject shows that a very large proportion of tlio criminal business of our courts conies, directly or indirectly, from tho uto and abuse of stimulating bevera- rs. Ouu year’s national abstinence would :i V the national debt, li is nothing to arguo that the thirst for timulus is imiversnl, nnd that savages and tho ignorant people are a- fond of -drongtlriiik ns the civilized. So the thirst for blond is a savage propensity. And tlio devouring of coarse nml bloody food isan- otllor, Laws and government have been stifllcicnt to keep violent nnd murderous natures under control. 'The customs of civilised life have refined our diet in the matter of food. But neither law nor cus tom lias hden stifllcicnt to cure the savage iropensity for strong drink. We have on- y made such beverages more ;ialatilble, anil substituted for occasional orgies hab itual use. Tho recent report of an emi nent physician, whoso specialty is tho treatment of inebriates, maintains that they nrc the victims of disease. It is a t misfortune, granting this-theory to lie true one, that civilization anti re finement hnvo nmdc that disease chronic in the educated and Christianized, which ii\ the savage is only [occasional. WhfcthcrTntcmpcmnce he n physical dis ease, the misfortune of tho stomach or the nerves, or'whether it bo amoral or mental Weakness;, ono thing Is certain, that tlio “appetite grows by what it feeds on,” and, that, once acquired, it is next to impossi ble to shake it off. .But it is not.quito im possible, Neither, let the longing for tho poison be as great ns it mny, Is tuero any man who cannot, by n determined exercise of his will, conquer himself of the indul gence. There is no man to whose, exis once, or cvett to Whoso health and Comfort, tlio stimulus of liquor is indispensable.— Ohr prisons aro frill of persons whoso in carceration is duo to indulgence in drink; and yet tho prisoners live without it, anil nro in I letter physical health whilo in du ranee than they are when at liberty. Murder, theft, robbery, lust, dishonesty, indolence and poverty, hnrdhess of heart, and contempt for tho comforts arid claims of thoso who are nearest and dearest, nro among tho fruits of intemperance. Every scaffold adds its testimony.' Crimes tho nnJst revolting grow out of tlio dethrone ment of reason by inordinate drink. And tho moral sense may ho blunted, and tlio mental faculties impaired by what is con sidered only tlio moderate use ofa class of luxuries, the only cfleet of which is tt) de stroy the intellecunl aud moral balance, nnd make whoever indulges less a man tlinn I10 would be without them, Tlio medical men in England and iu this coun try, who hnvo been betrayed into tho pro scription of alcoholic stimulants, are re treating from Hint practice. Grant that the use of Alcohol docs, in certain diseas es, promote recovery. Tho dnngcr re mains that the habit of drinking mny bo fnstened on the patient—a disease worse than nny which wine may cure."
