Many boast of the good it doe* them, or of their being strong in spite of the beer. ???I hare drank n gallon of beer every day for the last thirty year*," *aid a brewer???* drayman, ???and I wa* never in better health than at this moment.** Yet the very next day he died in a fit of apo plexy. The beer told him that He, nnd he be lieved it. Men who are really well and strong do not die oflf in that way *uddenly. When these beer drinkers get into the hospital, and the doctor shows them the true state of things, then they begin to see, though ofteu too late, what beer has really done to them. ???For they nave healed the hurt slightly, [We solicit short letters giving the evil effects liquor in communities, as witnessed by the writers.

But if there are inspirations to bo gathered from noble holy deeds, so are there salutary warning* iu every fall through temptation. The higher the victim, the more impressive is the warn ing. This year hii* witnessed the centenary commemoration, of the birth of the foremost forensic orator which America ha* produced, National pride and patriotism have lain, the well worn laurels afresh npon his tomb by the seaside, But in the midst of the cominemorativ honors, a volume has just appeared from the pen of Monsieur do Bacourt, an eminent French diplomatist, who came as an ambassn dor to our government forty years ago, Bacourt, in one of hi* letter*, desciibe* a state dinner given by President Tyler to forty diplo matists and statesmen. The writer hnppeued to sit beside Mr. Webster, who was then secre tary of state, and he says of the orator of Marsiteld: The too free use of Madeira made him not only amiable (in the American manner, of course) but even touchingly tender. Ho seized my arm with hi* two hands, and said: ???My dear Bacourt, I have infinite pleasure in see ing you this evening???much mors so than some time ago???I don???t know why! Perhaps f haven???t hitherto shown you sufficient friend ship, but let us, if you will, become a pair of friends. You shall see that I am good com pany.

This pitiable passage is not very pleasant rcadiug to mo to-day after jus? re-perusing (for the fortieth time) the immortal reply to Hayne, which is the highwater mark of Amer ican eloquence. The spectacle of our colossal statesman hiccoughing at a presidential din ner, or staggering from a Rochester agricultu ral festival, is a sad counterpart to Bunker Hill and the splendid triumphs of 4ho senate chamber. But our American youth ought to look just as squarely and clearly at the one ns ut the other.

In the same were seated two ladles cleguhtly and fashionably dressed. They were without an umbrella and their situation appealed to 'the chivalrous fccllug* of the gentlemen.

Aiovrta, Ga.???The qppearanco of Robert Toombs, tho great fire-eater of the south, as delegate in the district Methodist conference at Harmony Grove, marks a new era in hi* life. It is an era iu strange contrast with the itormy career of one of the most brilliant men America has ever produced, and is tho closing scene in a biography which must soon become a complete volume. The manner of his conversion wa* character istic of the man. Bishop George F. Pierce had been a college-mate of Toombs. Together .these two young students, the one from Wilkes county, the other from Greene; the on< the petted, self-willed son of p substantial gentle man, the other the thoughtful child otjijfho- rious Methodist minister, pursued their studies, winning scholastic $ Vic tories, yet by different methods, ^ith Toombs the answers came instinctively; -vitli Pierce It required the burning of the midnight oil. Toombs was over under the rod of correc tion, which, tradition tells us, required lnV re- inovnl to Princeton; and even there his rebel lious spirit would brook no dictation. Pi.Tet turned hi* back upon the frivolities of yojitli, and engaged in the revival services in tho lit tle church of which his futhcr, Lovic Pierce, was pastor. Yet Toombs and Pierce were the closest of friends, and : in the long career which subse quently opened to both of them, in which Vue drilled* into politics and became the lnaelsti-mi of one of the most exciting episodes of hisic ry, nuil the other found preferment in the djiuiyu, becoming on honored bishop, there no ??? censed for a moment that attachment born college association. Meeting Bishop Pierce one day about a year ago, religion wus men tioned. ???George,??? exclaimed Toombs, impetuously, I wont you to baptize me. When 1 am 1 do not want these young men who drift -o naturally into infidelity to claim me as an un believer.??? This determination caused a sensati -a throughout tho state. It sent astonishment through that class which laughs at holy tiling , while it brought joy to every Chistian hear . Once more tlierc was o tender feeling U r Tombs, sucli ax had not been felt since th days when ho was the pride of Georgia man hoood. It was a tenderness more full* sympathy than ever went oht to him befo When the appointed Sunday come it foil the old statesman surrounded by the neigh hors of fifty years, among whom was jjj brother, whoso joy at the event about to (cl place found [vent in tears.

Baid Toombs. ???That is the great head of the kuklux klon. My friend, you must come over to my house; it is the only place where you would bo safe from his ob servation. I will do niy best to got you safely out of tho country.??? Scared half to death, Smalley followed the general, and entering tho inn union the door was closed when General Toonilw said: ???Now you are safe. I will sea the chief of the klan and try and get a pass for you out of tho country.??? Meantime there was no attention wanting to make Smalley comfortable. He wa* treated like a prince, and soon underwent a change of heart about Toombs, and began to regard him as one of the grandest of men. Finally a ran was heard at the door. ???Leave it all to me,??? said tho general. ???This is the Great Cyclops. I will get him to give you a pass.??? The Jew entered, iu obedience to Toombs', summons, which had been previously sent him. He was thoroughly ignorant of. the use which was being made of Him, consequently Toombs's talk to him threw him into confu sion. for he did not understand its- motive. This confusion was duly noted by Smalley, who put it down ns nu evidence of tho man???* guilt. Finally, when the bewildered Hebrew departed without having given any apparent satisfaction. General Toombs turned to Sinai ley nnd said: ???I have staked my honor for your safety, Before daylight I will hove my closed earring' ready, into which you must bo placed. As the klan will think that I am within, it will not bo molested, and soon you will be placed nt safe distance.??? Thus Smalley found his exit from tho little village of Washington, Lnd soon after gave his wonderful lettor to the public. This version of the affair is told by one of General Toombs closest friends. GENERAL TOOMBS???g TRUE CHARACTER, is not to be judged by his wild talks to some corroMMindents. Ho is at home aud in business one of the most conservative of men. His as saults upon carpet-baggers are not intended for honest men who aro seeking the legitimate aims of life. To northern men, in whom he recognizes honesty of purpose, he is as genial and hospitable as they could wish. Perhaps there never was a man in Georgia who was more villified than H. I. Kimball, and not en tirely without reason. When the Kimball house was erected General Toombs made it hi* headquarters when iu Atlanta. Being asked about his choice of it he is said to have un worn!: ???By G???d, I hove a right to stop in it* The money with which It was built wa* stolen from tho treasury of Georgia, and that gives every Georgian an interest in it.??? When this celebrated house was destroyed by fire, Kimball was called back from Chicago to organize for its re-ercction. He had before him a hard task in raising subscriptions. Among thoso upon whom it was necessary that ho should call was General Toombs. No sooner had lie entered Toombs???s door than the doughty o???a Southerner exclaimed r , ???Kimball, your return to Georgia is worth jnoro than a hundred thousand dollars. I'm glad to see you back to stay with us.???

The lesson to be learned by every young man is that if the brain of Robert Burns or the brain of Daniel Webster could not stand the winccup, neither can theirs. If the sor cery of tho bottlo ovcrcamo tho mighty men, what chance is there for tho weaker ones? For theosneelal damage which alcohol vyprtu is wrought in that one vital spot???tho, human brain. This it is which makes all indulgence in iutoxic&hts so dangerous, aud drunkenness to be so fearful a crime against God nnd our awn lives. The only honest word to bo ap plied to drunkenness is not misfortune, or dis ease, or infirmity; it is voluntary crime. It Is a self-inflicted blow ot tho very seat and throne of manhood; it strikes the brain and Mverthrows the reason, and demolishes for the time that moral sense which lifts man above the brute. Alcohol is reallv that doril which has the power to ???cast both soul and body into hell.??? Other ovil habits may impair a tingle organ or vitiate a single phase of char acter. But a material peison that can derango the most vital part of the body, and at the same time strike through and reach the inind, ???nd the immortal soul itself, must be the mas terpiece of destruction. Let no one say that I am desecrating the tomb of a groat statesman by preaching from it a discourse on the trite topic of temperance. History has open eyes and a truthful tongue. Tho divinest of histories always points as dis tinctly to the sins of the best and noblest, as to their virtues. Noah???s cup, and Jacob's falsehood, nnd David???s adultery, are as full of InstructiQn as Daniel???s heroism or Pnul???s self- consecrations. Young men In our time and country need more frequent and solemn wam- ??? ings against the bottle. It can decelvo even ???God's elcet??? if they tamper with it. Tho brains of powerful orators or of powerful min isters are ss easily raked and ruined by the chain shot of alcohol, as the brain of the most stupid clown. There is a law of the Creator against alcoholic drinks, written on the hu man brain, which is older than any prohibi tory statutes of legislatures, and more author itative thsn any utterances of pulpits or of synods. Every confirnmtion of that law de mands a hearing and*a heeding. The dead utter their warnings as well ns the living, ???lie that hath ears to hear, let him bear!?????? Rev. Theodore D.

But let me accident hap|??en which sends thorn to the hospital, and then hear what the doctors say about them. Dr. Edward* says: ???The disease# of beer drinkers are nlway* of a dangerous character, and, in case of ait accident, they can never undergo the most trilling operation with the security of the temnerute. They almost inva riably die under it.' ... Dr. Grinrod, a prominent London nhysician, ,avs: ???A copious beer drinker is nlway* one vital part.

Dr. Gordon *ays: ???The beer drinkers, when attacked with acute disease, are not able to bear depletion, and they die.??? Dr. Nixon says: ???Intoxicating drinks, whether taken in the form of fermented or dis tilled liquors, are a very frequent predisposing cause of disease.??? One of our own workers, on a reeeut visit to Bellevue hospital, says: ???As we entered the ward, the first sight opposite the door was a surgeon dressing a gangrenous arm. His words to the path*rit, as we caught them, were: ???No, I shall not let you go out; you would get a glass of beer, and that would kill you!'

Washington was maintained tho greater Washington, which was the sceno of Ins political triumphs. Tho two grew ojd together, more like a collide of confiding chil dren than like people of tho world.

The fond wife was kindly, ten derly nursed by her distinguished husband. When they went to their rlarkavillo moun tain home, in tho early spring ftf a year ago, Mrs. Toombs was living her lost doys. Her death was tho great blow which sobered Toombs. His thoughts turned from the grave to God, and ho made hi* peace. By the grave of this noble ChrilttAn woman a remarkable filet is su~ gested. She had been for fifty year* the w of a man of wonderful magnetism, of gigantic physique, of engaging manners. Over half of this time was spent iu the national capital, where her husband wo* surrounded by all tho allurements of flattery, all the wiles or tho set, all tho opportunities or his manners nnd sta tion. Yet, through it all, Toombs was a faith- ful husband. Not even a whisper has ever been intdo which could compromise his name. What a comment this is on the fidelity of the husbaud and the influence of tho wife. THE TOO MRS 01' FORMER YEARS. Looking from tho bent figuro which stood the other dry on Greene street, though yet be ring traces of former years, one instinct ively turns to the prints which give the shad ow of the Tooiuhs of 1855. Ho was then in tho zenith of his physical beauty and intellectual strength. IIo had already won tho attention of the republic.: his fiery eloquence had made him as hated in tho home of ab< Htioiiism as he worshiped by his follower* in the south. When he spoke a nation listened. With tho impetuosity of Niagara he precipitated the events which led to the great struggle iu v hich cun non took tho place ol the ballot. From the confederate senate aud the cabinet of Jefferson Davis he sought a post iu the field, esteeming thut the pluco of every man was in the front. Tho qualities, however, which made him formidable in debate made him weak iu the field. He was not born to obey. General Toombs w*as not destined to become one of the military heroes of the age. The stories yf his disobedience of orders and his refusal to consider himself under arrest are numerous, some of them incredible, were they not vouched for. A* if bv the irony of fate, tho struggle which Toombs had done so much to briug about was destined to come to an end at his hojne. It was within a few miles of Toombs???s residence that Jefferson Davis held hi* last cabinet council, when Colonel Pritchett???s Michigan regiment, following up the fleeing chieftain, overtook him in Irwin county. Toombs was informed of the presence of the federal soldiers just iu time to seek flight on that most unromantic creature, the mule. For a few days he fouud refuge with Colonel K. A. Tate, iu the lower part or Elbert county. In Colonel Tate???s residence there was* life-sized engraving of Toombs, and so great was the resemblauce that one seeing the picture could not mistake the man. The colored people noticed the similarity between the mysterious strauger and the picture. The plantation was soon overrun with federal spies, who offered large rewards for the fugitive???yet, though a hundred colored people could lay their hands on him, not one revealed bis hiding-place???a wonderful example of colored fidelity. For Home months after his final escape he lived in Paris. Here it was that he made bis memora ble answer when asked how be lived: ???I am eating an acre of ground a day.??? His expense* were $5 a day. ID* bad sold _ quantity of Texas land for $5 an acre, which explained bis answer.
