We. come with strong hearts throbbing
For the cause of Truth and Right—
Tis a holy watchword, sounding
From heart to heart to-night;
To w hisper of hope to the saddened,
To lift to the light the weak,

A SHoRr XTOR\ WITH V MORAL.
iiy i'i.u:n c, nouns.
“Honor thv father and thy mother,” is the first
commandment with promise —promise a.- beautiful
in its exemplification as glorious in its conception.— ;
A mother's lips fir-r breathed into onr ears those ,
words of Holy Writ, and explained tloir general ini !
port; and from the time when the story of grav-hair
ed Elijah and his youthful moekers first excited me
young imagination, up to mature womanhood, the
respect then insjiired for the white hair- of age has
grown with my growth, and .strengthened w ith my j
strength. We sigh as we think of the days when J
the young were wont to how hetbiv the hoary head,!
and, by gentle, uncalled-for assiduities, strew roses i
in the old man’s tottering path.
But those kindly customs of onr puritan ancestors
have passed away. The world grows selfish, as it
grows old; and age-dimmed eyes must turn home
ward for stays to their trembling hands and tottering
limbs. Here should they find the fulfilment of the
first commandment with promise.
No true, womanly soul ever withdrew her gentle
hand from her poor old father or mother, no manly
heart ever forgor the home-loves of his wayward
childhood, or ceased to hear the echoes of a fond
mother’s prayers. Often the cares ofihis w orld, and
the decoitfulnoss of riches, may choke up the inborn
affections of narrow souls; lmt lew and far between
is the fondly loved child, who can be so untrue to
himself or his Maker, as w holly to forget the mother j
who bore him.
Yet even with the holiest dictates of our reasons |
and souls, as with tin- wider application of the com- I
mandment, has Fashion insinuated her poisonous in
fluence; and the son, perchance, who left his fond
parent’s humble home reluctantly and tearfully, to
make his way in the world, forgets, when fortune
favors, to welcome his rustic mother to his own lux
ury, with the same cordial embrace with which he
left her in his Childhood home. Her dim old eyes, ;
perchance, do not catch readily the meaningless cour-1
tesies of life; nevertheless, they look none the less ‘■
lovingly upon her child than when they watched over j
his helpless infancy. Her withered hands may be!
large and bony, and never have known a jewel; but I
none the less gently did they -month the wean pil
low, or bathe the hpated brow, in the dependent days
of boyhood. Ah! she’s the same fond mother still; [
her aged and work-bent form, clad in rustic garb, !
conceals a heart full of never-dying love, and ready i
for new sacrifice.
And, thanks to the Great licing who gave us the
commandment with promise, now and then there
stands up a noble man, true to his inborn nature,
who, throwing off the trammels of Fashion, however i
wide the gulf which separates him, in the woi Id’s !
eye, from the humble poverty of his boyhood -who
is not ashamed to love, before his fellows, the hum
ble mother who gave him birth.
“My mother —permit me to present her to you,” j
said an elegantly-dressed, noble-looking young man
to a friend for whom he had crossed a crowded draw
ing room, with his aged parent leaning on his arm. \
There was a dead silence for full five minute.-. The j
moral beauty of the picture pervaded every soul, and I
melted away the frostwork from world-worn heart-'.
’Twas the old foreground of a fashionable summer
resort, whither hosts had come, with all their selfish
passions, to seek in vain for health and pleasure
But here was a variation—a hit of truth to natun
in the rnotly mingling of colors.
From a little brown farm-house, punt in by forests,
’way up in the Granite State, dial young man had
gone forth with brave heart and stalwart arm; strong,
| like his native hills, he had already made a name for
1 himself. Polished circles opened for him, and gen
lb* lips hade him welcome. Yet none the less care
j fully did his manly arm support bis homely, totter- ‘
1 ing old mother; none, the less softly and tenderly did \
jhe rail her-queer though she looked “my mother,''’
| amongst the proud beauties who bad striven for In- j
! favor. Her dress was antiquated, for die, good gifts :
j of her son had been sadly mutilated by rustic hands; I
j yet only one-heartless girl tittered, despite the broad*
; frilled cap and well-kept shtiw I. Her voi< < was rough, ■
i and often her expressions coar-c and inelegant. Used
to the social mug at home, she asked for her neigh
bor’s goblet at table, and wa- guilty of many like
vulgarities. She was not an interesting woman, save
in her vigorous age, and her beautiful love for her son. .
Yet, for a week, the son wati bed over that mother,
; and gained for her kindness and deference, in the
very face of fashion, walked with her, drove with !
her, helped her. like an infant, up a diflicult mouii
t tain side ol twenty miles, humored her every caprice,
! and each day found some new frit rid, who-’- heart he
i might thrill by those gentle words, “my mother."’
To him she wa- the gentle mother, who rocked
him to sleep in childhood; and, true to the great com
mandment she had taught him, he w,a- making the
path smooth for her dependent year

.and right gained an instant victory over life-long pre
judices, Quietly and elegantly she cm--. and the room,
laid her snowy little hand, with such gentle, thrilling
1 touch, on the arm of her lover, and whispered a word
• in his ear.

PROHIBITION St RIPTTRAI.
The importance of this phase of the subject, in
duces 11- to recur to it train The acknowledged
fact that in the discus-ion of all questions of morali
ty, the Itihlo is the highest and surest authority to
which to refer ; and the conviction, growing daily
stronger, even t<> men of the world, that Itihle teach
ing is the *u ust and safest harbinger of civilization
and pence and happiness on earth; makes it imper
ative that we understand this question fully, in the
light of Bible truth.
One thing should not he lost sight of, the Bible is
1 a book of principles, rather than of minute details.
“Its method is not to map out every duty in a form
universally and permanently obligatory. It does
give definite expression to eel tain great comprehen
sive duties; but its characteristic method is to pro
pound principles, to exhibit moral truths, and to
leave it to their plastic operation to shape the lives
of those who receive them into such forms of virtue
and godliness a- circumstances may suggest. It
does not propose to give to man the hand to lead him
blindfolded through the universe; it rather proposes
to restore vision to him that tie may find his own
way Every* Christian man has moral questions to
solve almost daily, in the solution of which he has no
help from express scriptural precepts.’’ And if this
[controversy is ever to he settled by an appeal to the
’ Bible, then it must ho by an honest appeal to its
i principles, and not by a loose and illusory appeal to
I its examples, because it is admitted that wc use
drinks, which were unknown in the times of the
scriptural writers—a fact which puts ail the exam
ples out of court--and even overlooking this differ
ence, for the sake of argument, the examples record
ed, whether of moderate use, or total abstinence, are
only evidences of permitted list- or abstinence, and
are valueless as guides to us, except so far as they
accord with or differ from admitted Bible principle.
With these preliminary remarks we proceed to in
quire, which course—moderate use or total absti
nence—is most in accordance with Bible principles?
I and
First. The Bibb* teaches the great duty of keep
ing under the passions, appetites and tastes, in order
!Io the soul’s growth in good nos-. Now, it is notori
ous that the use of intoxicating beverages stimulates
♦he passions as well as the baser appetites and tastes.
“A small quantity raises a spark, a lares quantity
kindles a conflagration.” Many who have never
been guilty of personal intoxication, have suffered
and made others sutler from the undue stimulation
of their passions by the use of intoxicating drinks ;
or in the excitement produced thereby, have delight
ed, if but in thought, in Ibe pleasures of sin, if they
have not been led into actual transgression; and
whilst it may be that h who <ihstt(ins t may not he
I so good a man a- his moderate drinking neighbor in
many other respects still is it manifest that, in this
regard, he pursues a wiser and more scriptural
course ; at least doing nothing, by the use of intoxi
; eating beverages, to stimulate the passion- which the
I Bible requires him to reduce and control.
Seen nil. —The Bible teaches the duty of avoiding
temptation, as a precaution necessary for securing
j the soul's health. As referred to in our previous ar
| tide, we are taught to pray, “head us not into
| temptation,’’ and Christ furthei commanded his dis
ciples to ■mat.eh as well as to pray, that they enter not
into temptation ; and the whole testimony of scrip
ture is, that if we would grow wise and good, we
must not caress the tempter nor dally in his wiles.
Vow, il cannot be questioned, that Ibe drinking
: usages of our times hit- at least c.ru ol the subtlest i
agencies of temptation w ielded by I lie great de-.troyer ’
-of souls. Tlu-ir power- lie in the falsehood of their
pretensions. They pretend to lie minister- of good;
[they come bright with the bin -of friend-hip, and
| are associated with all that i ■ joyful in life, asking
permission to promote our happiness, enhance our
pleasure, and heighten our activity Add to this
their fatal power to generate an artificial mid deprav
ed appetite, to make men lov- them, even when the
conviction come- that ruin imi-i b<- the result, to
love them still, and love them all tin- more Truly,
intoxicating beverages are the most potent agent of
temptation in our land. W hat family but has mourn
ed their influence.';’ What happy circle, iqsin which
their blight has not been ca-t? How much of
crime, and misery, and death ha- followed every
where in their train’ And who will dare deny that

from temptation, does not virtually command us to

It. i- an every-day remark with travelers this
country, that Americans owe their sallow complex

the assertion ; hut the truth is less than is g<ncrallv
supposed That it comparatively Mjuablc tcing-ra
lure, a moist atmosphere, and the absence of sultry
heats, exercise an influence on fin* complexion, tin

and the tawny ones of til.*-, living under the (rope

fit! not to exaggerate this influence, as those do who
attribute the sallowness of Americans entirely to cli
mate; for if wc corn pirn* tin rural with the urban
population, we shall find that the former is much
more timid than the latter, though both live under
exactly the • atne climate Wo shall also dk over, if
we prosecute our inquiries in still another direction,
tl at poisons inhabiting the moist atmosphere of a
sett coast /exhibit considerable diversity of eompl
ion ; whereas, if climate was the. sole or even princi
pal cause of this difference, there would tie no such
result The Iruth is, that habits of life have more
to do with complexion than the height of the ther
momoter, the absence of moisture in the atmosphere,
ortho power of the sun V man with a diseased liv

at daybreak to milk tin cow . finds it impossible) to
keep the sickly cheek which fashion and folly, in
great cities, absurdly unite to call delicate and lady
like. It is want of exercise, of fresh uir, and of at
tention to eating, w hich makes our men sallow and
our women pah*.
The English women live far more out of doors
than outs do Among ourselves, fanner and farm
era’ families are constantly in the open air. Both
have, to w e know, fresher complexions than tin* m i.:
of Americans; and both, as a general rule, enjov
better health. Invariably, if a woman has a bright
color in this country, she either comes from the rural
districts, nr takes nil unusual amount of exercise in
the IVesh air Even where American Indie, have
been celebrated for their bloom in youth, they have
often become sallow before thirty, -imply because
they fall into the ordinary indolent habit of theii
sox. To sit all day in close rooms, to cower over a
hot due, or to lounge on a sofa, reading n vek , k
hut a poor eo> metie, and a wor e medicine. Even
plants wither when excluded from light and air. A

our daughter- more bountiful ami oUr wives more

Sallow, dyspeptic women, cannot but have sons
with a proclivity, increasing in every generation, to
lie sallow and dyspeptic men Such boys, if bred in
cities, get comparatively little fresh air ; and usually ,
in after lift-, still less exorcise. Such an are put to

however, against eight or ten of the rioters.
Wo congratulate the friends in Maine upon this
