Testimony in favor of Temperance.
The following extract from the narra
tive of the Exploring, Expedition, by
Capt. Wilkes, shows conclusively that j
there is no good resulting from the con-|
tinuance of the spirit ration in tiie na
vy, but that a benefit would be experi
enced from its abolishment. When des- j
cribing a trip from Nisqually to the
mouth of the Columbia, he says: —
“Knowing how much time is lost on
boat expeditions by the use of grog, and
the accidents liable to occur when a
strict watch cannot be kept over it, I do- j
tided not to send any spirit with the par
ty ; but, in order not to' deprive the sai
lors of it who might deem it essential, I
ordered the boats’ crews called aft, and
found that nearly all were in the regular
habit of drawing their grog. I then of- ;
sered toanv who might wish to continue!
that part of their rations, the option of
remaining with the ship, and having their |
places in the boats supplied with others, i
There was no hesitation on the part of
any one of them ; all wished to go, and j
all were willing to give up their spirit ra-j
tions. I take this occasion to say, that
the most laborious and exposed duty of j
the expedition was performed without :
the spirit ration ; and I am well satisfied
that it may be dispensed with without
injury to any one, and indeed greatly to
the benefit of the naval service.”
facts are stubborn Things.
There are one hundred and thirty coil-
I
victs in the “ Western Penitentiary,” in
Pennsylvania. Os this number, 110
were intemperate, 11 moderate drinkers,
and 9 temperate. All the prisons of the
United States are filled with just such
subjects. There is abundant proof to
satisfy any one who may remain incred-!
ulous, that the only safety is in total ab
stinence. Many of these victims in our
prisons, in early life, were promising,
and would have been ornaments to soci
ety, instead of exiles from it, had it not
been for that fatal delusion, that iliere is ,
no danger in a single glass. There are
many more who commit crimes, at the:
mention of which they would have shud
dered, and shrunk back, had they not;
been rendered mad by the intoxicating
draught. Reader, touch not, for “at the
last, it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth
like an adder.”— Ohio Temperance Or
gan.
The Boston Mercantile Journal says
the following statement was made at a
late temperance meeting. Young men
should consider it.— Liberty Standard.
A young gentleman, whose name we
did not learn, then came forward, and
signed the pledge. lie then narrated in
a very impressive manner, the touching
tale of his ruin. He had, he said, been i
brought to ruin by fashionable wine drink-,
ing. Six years ago he boarded at the
Tremont at the rate of S3O a week. He
was now not worth a dollar—but at the
tune to which he referred, lie could have
drawn his check for $20,000. He had a
most tender-hearted and pious mother,
and when he was leaving home her
words to him were—“ Remember God
and temptation.” In 183 G ho was en
gaged to one of the most respectable
young ladies in this community. He
was married in St. Paul’s church ; but
in consequence of his misconduct, his
wife had obtained a divorce. He advised
all young men to take warning by him.
Had it not been for wine drinking, iie
might have been as respectable a young
man as any in the city of Boston. Wine,
and theatres, and bad company had ruin
ed him. He had signed (he pledge—and
prayed to God that he might be able to
keep it.
Teetotallsm among the Seneca Indians.
A temperance celebration of the m.*st j
interesting character was recently held j
in tho Baptist Church at Ua Grange.—
The Society of the reservation met the.
friends of temperance in the village. A
train of waggons, one ot which bore an j
appropriate banner, arrived at the meet- j
inghouse about two o’clock, P. M. The ;
body of the house being reserved, it was 1
completely filled with guests. Several I
chiefs of the Seneca nation, venerable
for years, and noble appearance, occu
pied the front seats; then were seated
the younger men, then the boys; the
right was occupied by the females in
their native costume, which was in some
instances of the finest texture. A good 1
number of singers, male and female, oc- i
cupied the part of the house allotted to i
that use. Several psalms and hymns in j
their native language were sung in a i
.masterly manner, much to the delight of I
the audience. A prayer was offered by I
one of the chiefs, in the native tongue. <
Several addresses were "made bv the. i
j chiefs, the translation of which showed j
j that the speakers felt deeply the impor
j tance of the cause they had met to ad
| vocate. The order of ceremonies was
j under the direction of Mr. Bliss, who ]
; has for some time been a resident miss
ionary to the nation.— Temp. Standard.
Instances o! Early Genius.
The following striking facts are taken
from a new novel by D'lsraeli, entitled
; “ Coningsby
Don John, of Austria, won Lepanto at
| twenty-five—the greatest battle of mod
| ern time; had it not been for jealousy of
: Philip, the next year he would have been
! Emperor of Maurilani. Gaston dc Foix
! was only twenty-two when he stood a
j victor on the plain of Ravenna. Every
i or.c remembers Conde, and Rocrov, at
| the same age. Gustavus Adolphus’ died
jat thirty-eight. Look at his Captains,
that wonderful Duke of Weimer, only
thirty.six when lie died. Banier himself
j after all his miracles, died at forty-five.
j Cortes was little more than thirty when
; he gazed upon the golden cupolas of
| Mexico. When Maurice of Saxony died
jat thirty-two, all Europe acknowledged
| the loss of the greatest Captain and pro
j toundest statesman of the age. Then
j there is Nelson, Clive—but these are
warriors, and perhaps you may think
there arc greater things than war. Ido
1 not: l worship tiie Lord of Hosts. But
1 take the most illustrious achievements of
civil prudence. Innocent 111. the great
| est of the Popes, was the despot of Chris
tendom at thirty-seven ; John de Medici
was a Cardinal at fifteen, and Guicciar
dini tells us, baffled with his state-craft
; Ferdinand of Arrngon himself. He was
i Pope, as Leo X. at thirty-seven ; Luther
j robbed even him of his richest province
jat thirty-five. Take Ignatius Loyola
and John Wesley, they worked with
young-brains. Ignatius was only thirty
when he make his pilgrimage and wrote
the ‘Spiritual Exorcises.’ Pascal wrote
a great work at sixteen, the greatest of
Frenchmen, and died at thirty-seven!
: Ah ! that latal thirty-seven, which re
j minds me ot Byron, greater even as a
j man than a writer. Was it experience
that guided the pencil of Raphael when
jhe painted the palaces of Rome ? He
j died too, at thirty-seven. Richelieu was
| Secretary of State at thirty-one. Well,
; then, there are Bolingbroke and Pitt, both
j ministers before other men leave off
I cricket. Grotius was in great practice
! at seventeen, and Attorney General at
twenty-four. And Acquaviva—Acqua
viva was General of the Jesuits—ruled
every cabinet in Europe, and colonized
America before he was thirty-seven.
But it is needless to multiply instances.
The history of heroes is the history of
youth.
Mud Iluths.
Amongst tho variety of items intro
duced from time to time into our English
journals from foreign sources, we have
ound metilion of a novel curative means
for ill health, stated to bo taken from the
j Russian journals which arc filled, as it is
j said, with accounts of the marvellous
cures effected by the mud baths of the
! lake of Eupatoria, in the Crimea. This
• saline water, six versts only from the
Black Sea, and forty-five from the Rus
| sian town of Eupatoria, dries up during
the summer heats, leaving a thick stag
nant slime, in which tlie sick, whom
medicine has 1 ailed to cure, plunge their
■ afflicted bodies ; and in its hot mires their
i pores distend, absorbing the saline gases,
which are said to have a wonderful vir
tue for (he purification of the blood. At
the village on the lake, called Sak, which
is frequented by the bathers, a mngnifi
cent hotel has been erected, offering
every luxury as an accompaniment to
the mud bath ; and among the Russian
fashionables, the move—made up of the
love of excitement and the superstitious j
j search after health, w hich, in all coun
-1 tries, carries men from the Abanas and
Pharpars at their door to some distant
Jordan—is all, just now, in the direction
of the lake of. Eupatoria.
A Captive Gazelle.
I saw several creatures of tho antelope
kind in this part of the desert, and one
day my Aratfe surprised in her sleep a
young gazelle (for so I called her) and I
took the darling prisoner. I carried her
before me on my camel for the rest of j
the day, and kept her in my tent all night, j
I did all I could to coax her, but the ;
trembling beauty refused to touch food, !
and would not. be comforted. Whenev
er she had a seeming opportunity of es
caping, she struggled with a violence so
painfully disproportioned to her fine, del- I
icate limbs, that I could not continue the
cruel attempt to make her my own. In j
the morning, therefore, I set her free, an- j
ticipating some pleasure from seeing the i
joyous bound with which, as I thought,!
she would return to her native freedom. ;
She had been so stupefied, however, by j
the exciting events of the preceding day
and night, and was so puzzled as to the
road she would take, that she went off
| very deliberately, and with an uncertain
step. She went away quite sound in
limb, but her intellect may have been up
set. Never, in all likelihood, had she
j seen the form of a human being until
I the dreadful moment when she woke from
her sleep and found herself in the gripe
ot an Arab. Then her pitching and
: tossing journey on the back of a camel,
and lastly, a soiree with me by candle
light ! I should have been glad to know,
ill could, that her heart was not utterly
broken.— Traces of Travel.
Another Invention. —Colonel Reed, of
| Boston, has hit upon an invention, which
| if successful, is likely to he a formidable
j competitor to Morse’s magnetic tele
graph. Its chief purpose is to transmit
j letters or packages any distance, with
| the rapidity of lightning. The Boston
i Post says: “The process by which this is
j accomplished is very simple, consisting
| merely of an air-chest, which is charged
with air hv a foicc-pump contiguous to
| the chest. When the chest is sufficient
ly charged with air, the letter or package
j is placed in the feeder, ami it is immedi
ately discharged through the pipe with
; great velocity and perfect safety. Col.
| Reed, the inventor, is of opinion that an
! outlay of $60,000 would ensure the trans
-1 mission of letters and oackages between
; Boston and New York, with perfect safe*
i ty, in the space of half an hour.’'

Cheap mode of Rearing lings.
The Maine Farmer contains an ac-
J count of the mode in which Mr. True
Remick raised six hogs, which is worthy
jof attention. It is stated that the pigs
j were farrowed in May or Juno, 1843.
Four of them belonged to one litter, and
; the others to two other litters. The first
j summer they were kept in a close pen,
j and fed with skimmed milk and boiled
i potatoes. In the fall they had the run of j
j of an acre of pasture ground, and thro’j
i tho succeeding winter they were kept en-1
tirely on boiled potatoes. On the first j
i of May last they were turned into cow- i
j pasture, with rings in their noses. While |
running in the pasture they had forty j
[ bushels of raw potatoes given them, hut
had no other food till put up to fat. Two J
of the sows raised pigs—eleven in all. j
| The last of September they were put up, j
and fed with boiled potatoes and a little j
J milk, but nothing more. The long red ,
i potatoes were the kind used, and it is!
! well known that swine are much more !
fond of these than any others. The!
I hogs were killed from the Cth to the 28th
; January last, and their average weight,
dressed, 398 pounds—the largest weigh*
led 513 pounds. The account states that
the whole six never ate so much as three j
bushels of meal of any kind. If this;
account should come to the ears of some j
of the French chemists and physiolo-1
gists, what would they afterwards say j
about there being none of the fat-form
ing elements in potatoes?
