Many a poor fellow lias scribbled -lit* bruins away und/be world that jfifs lias bedgiibed : liis flingors .with ink. But wiille thi» is true •,i{ is also true that some writers .JWiMAerM great influenco on inen’i /bouglits ami actions. '^“^"lil’Wdep away from the /^pding crowd, have put upon jiapor thoughts that stirred to great revolutions and brought #hp>ftJesuits such as neither tho fit^ox Tfoi the soldier could have ^accomplished. One may not khowwliethorhe is writing for daysor for centuries—whether •H* aro to pe/ish unnoticed ,£f J9 survive with increasing jpowar through many years, well does it become him then to .be careful about what messages he sSjsli send forth through tho press to influence other .minds HfS may, with no worse motive .^lan a desire to win the uiliuire- ,VV(A of the multitude for his .readiness at saying smart things doruueh harm. Ife may, too, do much harm if be allows owe partial view of a matter to shut jout froiQ his sight all other view, By being too xealons •poutfighting one man’s wrongs jhe may. indict groat injustic up- ,°n another. The books of somo vorjr conscientious men and wo men havo done very great mis- .chlof. The fanatic has written .Words ffj jt hayo arrayed serried lyjsts fi. tlm Xouu{>)it- eoufiuts of wH“and spread dosolation ojer onco smiling fields. Men apd women, too, who aro not conscientious bu t only mnlicious .with falsehoods 'that wrong in dividuals, communities and States. AVitbin tho past few woeks many base lies have been published by persons who know tliom to be lies, and who per haps b(ul no higher motive than on ambition to bring themselves jinto notoriety. Those woro not careful about what thoy wero going to put before tho world in print. They did not appreci ate the fact tlmt what is thus sent forth cannot be recalled. The slander goes traveling on, and the correction rarely over takes'it. It is a fearful thing to speak words that aro not true— it is ton.fold more fourful to write them, and a thousand jbld more fearful to send them forth from tbs press. You know loot bow long they may continue to work harm, or how far thoy may go. What you pen down in a moment of vani- 'ty or spleen may bo decoving or ^wounding after your band has long mouldered into dust. Hard ly any ono will tako the trouble to writ* aud to publish, beliov- ing alltho while that his wri ting will accomplish nothing, if •uCjb an ojno thore be, ho can afford to bo reckless about what he Writes. But ho who cher ishes a nope that his thoughts ^ro going to live and will pos sess a power to influence others ougbtfo feel tho weight of his responsibility.' He ought to Write no line which dying ho would wish effaced. HUHIUPAL. To the Mayor amd Council of the town of Wavcnoss: .

Oru.ru, Uqor Dealer, 1ST Bar St., The deterioration in tbo quality of our domeatio Whiskies during the past ten years lias been noticed by ail whose business or habits have made them familiar with the article. The old tushioned process, by slow, period fermentation aud careful (lisliUatiin, basin a great measure, beeu displaced uy the uew method ot rapid lertueiiDUiou, and distillation by steam, which had its origin mainly dpriog tho war, wbeu the large profits aud xeat finctatioiu in lira market tern . ted the distiller to make the largest possible quauit/ iu a given time. The neue.snry consequence has been un imperfect manufacture reciting in an ariiclu hut little re. moved irom the highwines or crude corn whiskey ot commerce, upon which the curing process of age has Out little beueticiui effect. These goods have been sold in many instances as rnudo by Ilia old process, and, as a consequence, Whiskies made iu theold'laauioucd way have suffered in reputation where the consoler, uot having ex perience in the quality, was uua. Ole to detect tho fraud. The lime has arrived when reul- ly flue quality aud makeol Whis kies sre btiug more sought tor aud appreciated, aud this quality will biitigwdre than the eiinnhued val ue caused by increased cost of manufacture. In view of this disposition ot he trade and consumer, it is that iho present inellioU is adopted to make more widely known the'‘Old i’ctrio Whskies,” which is offered uu article of tha best quality, sod of as ubsolutea purity as it is possible to make. It is the experi ence of ull who have made a busi. ness of curing Whiskey, thut after two orthree years no two baarda will be exactly alike. How this oc curs it is inqiossible to say; a part, of tho difference, howev r, is occa sioned by some barrels being char red more than others, imd in pack ages the goods ripen tastor and acquire more color. To obviate this difficulty, the “Old 1‘ccric Whiskey,” when thoroughly cored, is blended In a large body, and is thus msde uniform iu 001014 proof, Slid quality.
