Can you preserve your manliness if you treat this subject with indifference? Tt has been well said, “That s a god less soul thatls not concerned with God’s .quarrel.” Looking at these BUOHANAN, (GRORGIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 233 y, 1884, wok T M SRR R L faete, can 7 you think’efamore hu mane, “a mare righteous ang mere heroic field of labor, than to rescuo and prafped the childieh froin the giniand guffering of in temperanee.?

YFor instance, in the three years ,e:‘.ding with 1823, the increase in the ?Cuvsxunpt?gm of distilied spirits was 28 194 por cent. Of ~wine 24 43 per cent.
