A list ofletters remaining in the Post Office at Spring Place, which if not called for in thirty days will be sent to the dead letter office* Andrew T Harris, J W Harris, David Holder, Parlee Leadford, Harriet Mathis, Ida Sims. Wm. Anderson. A road overseer said the other day in a very egotistical manner: “I occupy a higher, a more lordly position than any other man in this country. Not long since while working the road I had as subor¬ dinates two bate-foot preachers. • “Niggers,” Irishmen and preach¬ ers have more to bear than any class mentionable. The Careful Whisky Drinker. This cognomen is rather uew to us, but we understand it to mean one who takes his customary am¬ ount of liquor at regular intervals, always being careful not to over load himself, keeping the balanc¬ ing line within the base He is better knewn to the world as the “moderate drinker.’ - Much of the literature of our day teems with articles, lectures, essays and ora¬ tions picturing in the most revolt¬ ing manner the awful curse—in¬ temperance. This will do great good in working the reformation oi many who may be awakened to their dangerous, downward flight. But we want to say right here “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” The danger lies in contracting the habit of drink ing. No man ever began dram drinking with the expectation of makiug a drunkard, Yet multi¬ plied thousands have descended from the morning dram to the drunkards misery and wretched¬ ness to the drunkards grave and the drunkard.- hell. The careful drinker boasts of his strength of purpose, his firmness, his sound judgement, his marvelous discre¬ tion. Hear him when he looks up ou some poor unfortunate: ‘It I could not drink red liquor without making a dog of myselt I should never, never touch another drop. 1 The longer you patronize the hab¬ it, the stronger and more arbitrary it becomes. The careful drinker gradually increases the amount taken at one time, and soon finds ii.8 disordered system calls for the more frequent use of the fug. We are ready to acknowledge that some men are found who drink moder¬ ately through life. This is the ex¬ ception and not. the rule. Though it must be confessed his influence is of the most dangerous character. He stands up the synonym of man¬ liness, egotistical in his descrip¬ tion of his own indomitable will. Other men less strong take him as then* exemplar, thinking surely “I too can be a careful drinker. I too control, my appetite. I shall never be a drunkard,* And thus the mod¬ erate drinker's influence curses bus fellow man. Look at the young m an who considers bimselt able to from drinking too much, he takes one diink after another, all the while thirst for the horrid stuff growing stonger, but still the heartless foe is so subtle in his ap¬ proach that the young man seems unaware that the iron chains of senseless habit are binding him securely in a vile prison of the most abject slavery. You see him in his downward career—ah, the heart chilling picture^-health un¬ dermined, friends gone, premature old age bis unwelcome heritage, mother's heart crushed, hopes blighted, intellect ruined, and re morse bordering on despair his por lion. Moderate drinker think about your influence. Thousands begin life under as bright auspices as you, but in a vain effort to pass through life a careful drinker, have sunk into a drunkard’s grave, “up wept, unhonored and unsung.** And if you could lift the veil and hear their bitter experiences and listen to them tell the cause all their min yon would beobhg ed to think, for the words that would strike your ear would be: ‘Moderate drinking, moderate drinking.
