Temp. Adv. A Fearful Traffic. Speaking of selling intoxicating drinks, he Mr. Retailer, you would not sell HtHpiir father to madden his brain and send him home to abuse your honor ed mother., to tantalize and insult your loved sister, just budding and expanding into womanhood, to knock and beat the younger brothers and sisters, and make a bell of that once happy home—you would not, you could not sell to your own fath er when such would be the probable con sequence—no, you would turn away from such a thought, you would not do it. My friend, my father is a poor wenk man, once he was strong, but he gave way to the use of drink until he became weak, will you sell to him that which will fire his brain ? which will make him a mani ac ? will you ? will you send him home to my venerated mother to break her heart with his abuse and violence ? Will you send him to crush the young buds of hope and expectation in the bosom of my dear, my much loved sister? to insult her de licacy with the drunken obscenety ? to convert that quiet, peaceful, happy home, into a theatre of the drunkard’s insane, destructive fury ? O, you cannot, you surely will not.—But iny dear sir, that poor wretch who has for months and years cultivated the appetite for drink at your bar, and is now its victim, is a fath er—his wife, his daughters, his son, do they not feel ? Do they mourn over no blighted hopes? No fondly cherished schemes of happiness overthrown and lost forever, by this fell destroyer, and will you sell to him ? Ah you have done it— you are doing it. Will you persist ?O, it is a dreadful, a fearful trade. Rev. C. C. Burr. Uncle Tommy’s Fun. I was raised in a rale hard drinkin set tlement, said uncle Tommy, but never drunk liquor in all my life. And the rea son of it now, was jest this. When I was hardly knee high to a Junebug, Daddy took me on horseback,behind him, to the races. When wo got there, and had jumped down from the crittur, the first things I seed, was three drunken men (rale dead drunk, ye mind,) lying stretch ed off", each in a corner of the fence. I thought to myself, you don’t catch me a drinkin Whiskey, any of you, I’ve no no tion of getting into such a fixment as that are, no how at all, I’ve a mind to see the fun! and, I’ve always, bless you, kept that are in mind, ever since. When I go to a corn-shuckin or log rollin, and the Whiskey comes round, I tell them skip mo if you please, I’ve a mind to see the fun! When I tend a weddin or quiltin. I say, not a drop for me, I’ve a mind to see the fun ! When I’m at the lection or muster ground, I’m not to be wheedled in to liquor, I tell ye, for I’ve a mind to see (he fun ! Why drunken men never sees no fun, no how you take it. They’re gin’rally stowed away some where out of sight, by tho time the best of the fun comes on. The poor miserable, chopfal len, disconsolate varmints! Little rale pleasure do they see in this world, and, I’m mighty feared it ’ill be a leetie Jess in the next. S. C. Temp. Adv. They tell a good story at Northampton about the editor of the New Orleans Pic ayune. He stopped at the stage house, with the intention of spending some days in that beautiful town. After a reason able time he became dry, and called for a glass of brandy. ‘No,’ says the land* we have no license to sell spirits— we do»\t keep the article.’ The editor visited other public houses—looked into the groceries and cellars, —made , close inquiries but found them all teeto tallers. lie Returned to the stage house with a long fa>ce—“ Landlord,” says he, ■ tell me the nearesitpAvov? where I can get a glass of brandy for I’m too u’ty to stay here any longer’—‘l guess you con get it at Greenfield, for they grant Slicenses there, and it is said they sell spirits.’— ‘ How far is it!’ ‘ Twenty miles. ‘What time does the stage start?’ Twelve o’clock at night.’ * Well, landlord, book me for Greenfield.’ So it has grown into a prot erb, that when one calls for liquor, he spys “Book me for Greenfield,’ and when he is corn ed he is said to be booked for Greenfield. Alcohol. / Tho medical profession affirm, that Alcohol is a poison so diffusive and sub tle, that it rapidly circulates through the irteries and veins, the lungs and the icart, penetrating the smallest nerves, the most delicate fibres, the secret recess js of the brain, and in short, through vvery part of the system. That it is not ligestible, and if it did not escape from >ur bodies by the breath and through the jores of the skin, it would produce death. That it produces idiocy, stinted growth, irematurc decay, disease in every form ind shape, in proportion as it is taken in ti the system. .
