ESTABLISHED 1844Jjgi I VIEWING BATTLEFIELDS, ? - I Old War Storle* Mos< Kiilertuiniuxl.V Told?A Letter Which t'aine Too I.nte for Lust Week. Editor Press and Banner: si .At your request I send you an account of; my trip to Richmond, Washington and some m of the battle grounds of Northern Virginia That the reunion was a grand success, no one Ji ' will ueny. The cilv of Richmond gave $?!,- ci DUO?$12000 to Hie building ol the Auditorium M and SlU.lKX) to feeding and providing quarters Jor the veterans, who so long and at such fearful sacrifice defended her from the enemy. We enjoyed hearing tbespeeches in the Auditorium both days?attended the reception sj given by Mrs. Davis at the Davis Mansion g< Wednesday night. I took Mrs. Davis by the p hand and said, "I have not forgotten the iron shackles that were put upon your dumwuu. oi Mrs. Picket, seeing that 1 felt more than 1 w said, reached out her hand saying, "I am g< glad to see you." When the doors were closed (i lights were first brought to the rear piazza Ui and tbeD to the front, where Mrs. Davis ap b< peareu, bowing andsmlllnga hourly response to the loud cheeriug of thousands who we e g( unable to gain admittance to the building. u> The third and last day was given to the pa- i?( rade and laying of the corner stone of the 01 Davis monument. It will be centrally and si most beautifully located in Monroe Park. The military display was beyond anything that I saw during ihe war, not excepting that of Lee's army when he commenced that fa s mous march northward, which enaed at Gettysburg. I saw more people and more si banners flyiug, heard more bunds playing and beating of drums than ever before in one day. * Mr. E. W. Watson and I went to Washington the next day. After spending a few days lu sight seeing, I boarded the tram for Manassas, thirty miles distant, to look over the bat- .. tie grounds of that historic country. I se- . cured the services of a young man familiar with the country. After driving some six miles we reached the famous grounds of the . first and second battles of Manassas. An old . gentlemen showed us where the opposing lines fought on his farm. OJ Passing on, we came to the noted Henry House, around which the battle raged most fiercely, and where the tide was turned ugaiust the Federal army ou that memorable ^ Sabbath evening. A ree 01 nve ceui? is ic quired for any one entering tbe premises, i; The old bouse still Mauds in tbe midst ol green grass and beautiful trees. Everything was as quiet as the grave. I knocked at tbe door, but received no unswer. Near tbe door " stood two large marble slabs, marking tlie l( graves of two of tbe lamily who had died it there. One or them, I was told, being that oj b tbe old lady killed lu tbe bouse during tbe '' fight. A white board nulled to a tree in the yard, near these graves, bore this inscription, et "Wade Hampton wounded here July 21,1S01." lli Other boards were seen here and there over >-1 the fields, maraiug the spots where prom- 1,1 iuent men were killed or wounded. I was ol told that a monument or two had been erect- *1 ed, but I did not pass In sight of them. Souie w 300 or 400 yards lurtber on our road crossed P< the Warrenton and Alexandria turnpike, at tiie intersection of whlci) the Lewis House di stands?a two story stoue building that was al riddled with shut and shell; but repairs have P1 been made, and the old lady toiu us mat inert- ? were no marks lett to tell tbesude tale, except a board posted In front of the house, a which still gives notice to the passer-by itmt >' "This house was used as a field ho.-pital for r< both armies in the battle of July 21, lstil " J took the left end of the turnpike and proceeded towards Uroveton until 1 foUDd a largtsprlng for which I was iu search, from whit: h nr 1 drank once more, tor two reasons, this C( spring was photographed on my brain thirty- el four years ago. One was that bete 1 saw the n largest pile of amputated limbs (Kedral) that a I saw during the war. Tbe other was tbat iu ui some of the surrounding fields, tbe lines In it which the Federals lay In death, plainly showed tbelr lines in bai tie while living. We turned here, going back by way of the Lewis ? house, over the turnpike to Stone Bridge a over Bull Run. Betweeu these two points tbe ?it principle part of the first battle of Manassas was fought, tbe battle beginning at Stone si Bridge. Here we again rested, and looked at T the bridge which has become so celebrated iu ^ history. We little wondered that the enemy o effected such an easy crossing, as the lay oi c< the grouud about tbe bridge was so much lu cj tbeir favor. i'assiug un, uu oiu cuiurcu iuau 0 pointed out tbe spot from which the llrsi Fed- o eral gun was fired. He was an old resideut, ei and claimed to have seen tbe gun tired. o Tne next polut of Interest was Mitcbel's Ford, two and a ball inile6 below StoueBridge. Si Taking a country road and crossing Cub Hun ci we soon came into tbe Mitchel's Ford road? si tbe direct route from Ceutreville to Mauas- o bus. Tbe place where we came Into this road > was the point from which the Federal guns tl fired ou us at Mitcbel's Ford, being tbe first act in the drama played on July IK. Passing li down the road to the ford by the couutry 01 farm bouse, its premises looked none the a worse for baviug been robbed of all of its Is chickens and bee-gums thirty-five years ago, 1! wbllesbells were tlying over tbe building. l* We were now hearing the place, above al' others, that 1 most desired to see?tbe breast e< works at Mitcbel's Ford. This ford Is not now as it was thirty-five years ago, it is most dan- ci gerous looking, and 1 was told that two persons bad been drowned there recently, how- w ever, my companion was familiar with the g lord, and we hud nodlfllculty in crossing, but a he did not know that the long line ot breast <; works was there, aud lnslded that I must be si f mistaken. But tliey were plain and distinct, t< and without tbe least trouble I found them, oi i iroitnr as straight to that part of the line occu pled'by our cum puny, and Identifying itas readily an if It bad been but yesterday since we lea It. The effect ot shells through the white oak tree tops in still visible. There stood the tree iu rear of our lines, which Col. Bacon climbed and looked overat the enemy. My friend, Goodwin, ale huckleberries, whifc; i I lived over again the exciting scenes cf other days. It has always been a source of pride to me that Bonhaui's S. C. Brigade held the center of Beauregard's line at Mitehel's Kord. It Is rather a strange coincidence, today, July j. IStb. thirty-five years ago, we went Into these works. r We wished to visit Urisby's Burn and our .. old winter quarters uear by, but had not the ? tline. We now recrossed the creek and went i. by Centrevllie to Kalrfax Court House. J re- ? called vividly the famous stampede of the Federal army along this road. The battle k ground of Ox Hill or (ierraautown lay near (| the road, but the ride and heal of the day had ? gl en me a severe headache, and we hastened j, on to the hoiel at Fairfax, where I slept and v rested awhile, cancelling our agreement to ^ drive on to Washington over the direct and (l familiar road that evening. I regretted very v much that it was so, us we would have passed Flint Hill, where our old friend, Speer, used 8 to run his dog churn, seemingly lor the bene n lit of the soldiers, the graveyard, where Jos. I,tnk, Mi* first of our company to die, was v hurled, Vienna, where we learned our tlrst e lessons In tearing up railroads, and Falls u Church which is now almost in the suburbs u of Washington. All these places would have t i'"?n nf interest to me. as they wer? the camping ground* of Bonhams Brigade, which , by the way, were perhaps the only S. C. c troops which enjoyed the distinction of camp- s 1 life or resting almost under the dome of the t National Capitol. t At 5 o'clock I took the hack for Fairfax Sta- i lion and went on to Washington, where I i met a party. Including my two daughters, * from Due WeBt. We spent some days 111 tlie t city, meeting our friend, Mr. J. Altheus Johu- \ gun, who showed us kindness. We missed < seeing I>r. J. J. Darltugtou, also a former re?i- t dent of Due West, be being out at his country t home the day we called at his oflice. , We are under special obligation to Mr. W. c O. Bradley for Ills kindness in showing us ] through the Treasury Department. We were | C leased to see that be held such a respousile position and was so pleasantly situated. > After an absence of two weeks we returned ( home, having had the pleasantest trip of our j Illfe.

Mr. l'reston. director of the mint, Treasury epartmeiit. is in u-ceipt of a dally growing iali from all actions of the country devoted ) requests for intonuatloti on tiiiancial >plcs. The questions cover every concelvale phase of the currency question, and the iquirers are of all shades ol political belief. OHl of them w.tnt information that c in be islly furnished, such, lor instance, as the toil amount of the coinage ol the last fiscal ear. the aniouht of cold and silver in circuition in the United .states, the present value r different coins, etc., but many of the uestlons are of a more absirtise nature and ould tax the olllelals to answer them proerty. The bureau Is doing all It can to meet the t-matid upon itasan educational institution, nd Director Preston says that he could dlsoseof 25,000 copiesof the last annual report [ his bureau if he had them for distribution Mr. l'reston has made the following simple nd comprehensive statement in regard to le coinage ratio between gold and silver, lti ;spouse to frequent inquiries on that point: what HI TO 1 rkai.i.v is. All standard silver dollars coined by the lints of the act January IS, IXt7, have been >intd In the rHtlo of 1 to 159SSI?, generally illed the ratio of 1 to 1C, 13 9884?being verv early 1U. Still, to reach accurate results, the irrner, and not the latter, figure must be sed tu calculation. The ratio is obtained in lis way: The silver dollar contains 871.25 lainsol pure silver and the gold dollar 23.22 rains ot pure gold. If you divled 371.25 by 1.22 you will get the ratio of weight between gold dollar and a silver dollar, that is, 15. >8i?. I II Is true that to be on a par with gold, Iver would fat our ratio) be worth SI.292!). he reason in this, a gold dollar contains 23.22 rains of pure goid, In an ounce, or 480 grain & r gold there are as mauy dollars as 2.1.22 is in tallied times la 480, or ore ounce. 11 .vou Ivlde 4K0 by 23 22 you get ?2007, the number t dollars that can be coined out ol an ouDce f pure gold ; In oilier words, the money quivalent of one ouuce of gold or of 15.98S4 unces of silver at the ratio ol 1 to I5-98S4. Now, If 15.98S4 ounces of silver be worth !0.U7. one ounce will be worth 5;1.:929, as you in prove by simple division. The same realt Is obtained by dividing ISO grains or one tiuce of silver by 371.25, the number of grains f pure sliver In a standard silver dollar, at le ratio of 1 to 1.VJS84, which gives $1.2929. Sixteeu ounces ol pure silver will coin a ttle more than one ounce of gold. 15.9SS4 unces of sliver will coin exactly the same mount of money as one ounce of gold, that i, S2(?.67. You can prove this by dividing >9SS4 ounces by 371 25 grains. The operation t as follows: 15.9SS4 multiplied by 4SU divided by 371.25 * 3uu1H $20,071. " u Itisnot true that 10 ounces of silver will uin only SIG.feO ul the ratio of 1 to 10. As will be seen above, one ounce of silver 'ill coin $1.29211. Multiplying $1,292!) by 10 Ives SiOOS. You cau make the same result In noiher way; sixteen ounce Troy or 7.CS0 rains divided by 371.25 gives tlie number oi liver dollars that can be coined out of slxj jen ounces of silver.

Iditor Press and Banner: It Is currently reported that Capt. John .yon, Supervisor of Abbeville County. has ot faithfully discharged the duties of his of- ? ce in receiving tlie Ward law bridge when he ' nowB the s'ructure was not fastened to the uud-sill as required by the specitlcatlons. The blatherskites who are so assldiously eeping up this vile slander against an efclent, high-toned, dignified and honorable IHcer have presumed too freely upon the utelligence of the people of this county, ?heu they think them the mutton-heads to ] wallow all the rot they are currying around [> perfect a political contract ihey have made iriih some other candidate. The bridge in question lias thoroughly inpetted by a number of citizens whose fair- t icsk and Imtmrtlalltv. whose judgment and t onservatism has never been assailed, and khosestanding In Abbeville county, justly 1 ntltles tbem to highest respect. Their i inaniraous decision was, that the bridge met j .11 the miuirementsol' the contract and that h? workmanship was first class. t The bridge spans Ijlttle ltiver and is on one ?f the most fre<i"ently traveled roads In the j :ounty. It is therefore subject to public in- t peel Ion, and those who have been made to >elieve the mud-sill falsehood can go see for | hemselves, that the report is founded upon a ie ouro and simple. There is uo man living who is more conscientious in the discharge of his ollicial | lutles than the present Supervisor of Aobe- j Mile county, and for such vile and slander>us reports to be circulated against him 011 1 he eve of the election is only an evidence of ,he low and dirty work some heartless men , tfill stoon to do In order to injure a faithful >tllcer.

July 27, IKIHi We are at a loss this week to find something ,o write ahout. The weather is fine and the >lg meetings have commenced. The picnlck- j. irs are abroad In the land, and even the vtigibonds of the earth seem contented and hapjy. Next, we suppose, we will either have he political tramps or the grasshoppers and hen tlie millennium. We asked an Intelll;ent office-seeker the other day, to what pary he i>elonged. Ills answer was, "To the Democratic party." Our opinion is that the >ld party is being overworked. Its name ihould be changed, and I would suggest the lame of "Omnibus Party," so as to include ill the "Isms." To requlro the candidates to ?o Int3 all tne mlnutitu of explaining the 'tenets of his order" Is an'imposition. The iverage man cannot do it, and should not be :x peeled, and If civil service rules were adopted or enforced4we doubt If there are more ban a dozen candidates running for the Legslature in Abbeville County that could pass nuster. "Too much tail to the kite." For he past six years the lesson has beeu easy, lie had only to say, "I'm a Tillmanlle." and mmediately be gained admission, but. now with the financial question, the sub-treasury schemo, the popultstic, the anarchist, the laaor reform, and all the other party platforms nerged into the old party, how in the world :an a fellow tell "where lie is at?" Then too, rt'e suppose the candidates will be required to slate upon the stand who they are for for U. S. Senator. They may try to hide behind the jush and say that they have no option In the matter; that it is for the people who vote in :he primaries to decide that matter; but may lot the people differ from the Legislature? In 18!tt the voters of this Congressional district required the candidates for Congress to ?tate upon the staftd who they were for. S'ow, we think this question should be asked .he candidates for the Legislature: "If left to ronr option, who would you support for the jlllce of United States Senator ?" Something nay rrise to defeat the will of the people, and n that event the Legislature would have to :hose a Senator. So at the start let us know, et us know, gentlemen, who you are going to uipport In the primary. We are glad this hlngof choosing U. S. Senator has been left o the people. If we are for John Smith, ve don't propose to support or vote for a man ,vho is for Bill Jones. Ninety-Six is getting to be a real health and jleasure resort. We guarantee that there is tot a town on the C. & G. Railroad of the popllatlon of Ninety-Six that has as many vistors in the summer months as we have. I'he.v come from all quarters of the State, as ,vell as from Florida, Georgia. North Carolina, ind other States. We welcome them all. ["here is plenty of room here, and we are glad ,o see our friends. We understand that Miss Marlon Kinard ins been selected to assist Col. Rice In In the Ninety-Six High School. It is a most excelon t selection. Miss Klnard is a graduate of t Jirxt-elass college, and has had several years (xperlence. The moonlight picnic at the hotne of Mr. H. A. Watson, on last Friday night, was an slegant affair. Mesdames Townseud, Haitivanger, Klnard and Watson chaperoned the >arty, and their cup of enjoyment was full md overflowing. Mr. W. W. liradley, our present, efficient Vudltor, was In town last week. He Is beore the people for re-election. "He Is vorthy, well qualified, and properly vouched or." Mr. W. J.

Mrs. Pinion was always regarded as one of our best vomen, and we have often heard her referred , o as one of the "salt of the earth." She had ' >een married for more than sixty years, and luring the whole of her married life was a , lonsistent member of the Baptist church. ' >he was burled last Monday at SI loam church. ' Miss Minnie Cason has closed her most suclessful school at I'ertvllle and returned to lome In Greenwood. She Is a most excellent ' eacber. A good many of our people are going down o Saluda C. H. this week, to attend the grand >lcuic and land sales. The consensus of public opinion Is that the . itate canvass is a humbug and an imposition ! lpon the people, and the few who Ilock to the I neetlngsare mostly heelers. It is a beautiful tate of afralrs. No greater disgrace has ever 1 illlicted the State. Some of the candidates < sail each other liars, flee dogs, bond stealers, . rauds,<fcc., &c. Shame! shame! It will give us a great deal of pleasure to vote i or our old friend, M. B. McSweeney for Lieu- I enant Governor. He used to run a paper I p our town, and while here endeared hImlelf to the people.

The , various estimates of the crowd were from 1,000 to 1,500 people present. The candidates 1 " were out in full force, Citizen Josh Ashley i . in his speech carried the crowd. Oh, the hot weather. Did you over see It , hotter than the last week has been. Any one 1 ' who has traveled as much as I did last week Will say it Is hot. I left Greenwood Monday , morning and went to Cross Illll, In Laurens , County, there I erected a nice stone lor Mrs. , Dr. Ellis. While there Isold live monuments. j Tills 1b one of tbe finest sections In the j county. The crops are splended. My trip , brought me by Harris'Spring, here I slaked 5 my thirst from this celebrated mineral watj er, on through Waterloo, to Mt Gallagher . thence to Princeton, visiting the old celebrnt. ed Methodist camp ground at Mt Bethel. The . tents are all gone, ;the old arbor still |stauds. I could not resist going down to the spring. , This Is the largest spring I have ever seen. ' It Is nine feet square and about three feet deep, enclosed with a cemented rock wall. I left here and went across Saluda river In Anderson County to tbe picnic spoken of above, thence homeward by way of Honea Path, Donalds, and Hodges.

[ ALCOHOL AND LONGEVITY", i Important Information for Those Who Wish to Co to Their Grave* Prematurely. 1 What the facts are in regard to this rnntior nf Mia inftiionno nf iilnnhnl nrmn "-wvvi ???v?vv W. M.IVWUW, "t'"" , human longevity has been latelya matl terofdispute, but the following extracts 5 from Mwlical Progress Can be takeD us fairly representing the truth : ( 1 In 1888 the British Medical Associa. tion appointed a committee to gather ( what they termed collective statistics in regard to the effects of alcohol on , , longevity. These statistics were sent in by the various physicians written to 1 by the committee, but as the temperance movement in Eugland had then been of comparative short duration, it obtained mostly among the young peo- ' Ele under the age of thirty years. There eing, comparatively, at that time, but ; few old persons who wtfre total abtain- , ers, the average life among that class p was necessarily short. Then again, at that time a great many members of the ( nrnffioainn in V nnflo mH tirara mnrl a r?o fn pi Vl^OOiVU ALA JJU^IUUU TTCI t iliUUU 1 (tlV drinkers themselves, and no doubt were prejudiced, to a greater or less extent, I in favor of that habit. The old-time saying is true in this I particular, as in others, that if we have ; a mote in our eye we cannot set it in others. : But "both the chairman of the committee, Dr. Owen, of London, and the ' British Medical Journal have repeatedly denied that the so-called statistics ; justified any such inferences as the re, port seemed to convey." The report, including both the figures and the Brit; ish Medical Asssociation's explanation i of them, was adopted by the Association and published by it in the British Medical Journal of June 23, 1888, page 1316. An abstract from this report of : the British Medical Association reads : r "On the whole, then, in addition to other information which we have re^ 1 ceived from these returns as to the alcoholic habits of the inhsbitants of the country, and as to the relative habits , of different occupations and classes, we may not unfairly claim to have placed 1 upon a basis the following conclusions : "I. That habitual indulgence in al. coliolic liquors, beyond the moderate ' amount, has a distinct tendency to shorten life, the average shortening being roughly proportioned to the degree , ot indulgence. > ' 2. That of men who have passed , r the age of twenty-five, the strictly tem- . i perutive on the average live at least ten years longer than those who have be- | come decidedly imtemperate. We have ( not in these returns the means of com- , i ing to any conclusion as to the relative J ? duration of life of total abstainers and j , habitually temperate drinkers of alco- j r holic liquors." i It is very astonishing to any thinking ] . man who is at all familiar with men of i r drinking habits, much more a medicial , - man, who would pretend to give ere- | dence to such a report as that above , ' stated, and test the credulity of hisfel low-men by singing his name to It. We presume there is not a medical man who has had any experience in treating rx or observing the effects of alcoholic li- . quorsonthesystem,but will say that in temperance tends to the production of disease, and the natural inference is that whatever produces disease shortens | . life. It would be almost a useless and , r unnecessary task tostate or even allude j to the many diseases due to the use of alcohol. In making this statement I * am, of course, speaking to medical ( r men. 1 "The detrimental influence of what | is called the temperute or moderate use < , of both fermented and distilled liquors | i on health and the duratlou of life has | f been very clearly demonstrated by the < practical working of life insurance ore ganizatious. These institutions, estaby lished and maintained exclusively on j financial principles and for financial results, are developing facts of the great] est value in determining the effects of ;'f social habits and occupatiouson health and longevity. For example, in 1H47 the United Kingdom Temperance and General Provident Institution of Lonk' don began to issue life policies to total ie abstainers from alcoholic drinks and . to non-abstainers ou exactly the same j terms, but kept them in seperate sec n tions on the records ; up to December 31, 1888, the whole number of policies IsBued was 91,358, of which two-fifths were to total abstainers, and three-fifths 58 to non-abstainers. The rute of premi3 ums paid for policies was the same in both sections, and was based on uniform rules, regardsng the expected duh. ration of life at any given age. "According to these results of expectancy, 2,644 were expected in the total abstinence flection, during the seventeen years from 1865 to 1882, hut only 1,861 actually occured, being 783 less, or 29.5 per cent, of the total expectancy saved. Under the same rules, and for the name period of time, the number of deaths expected in the nonabstainers' section was 4,408, aud 4,339 nctualiy accured, being only 69 less, or 1.5 per cent, of the total expectancy 3aved. The difference in favor of the abstaners is 28 per cent. "In the Sceptor Life Association the deaths in the non-abstainers' section during seven years ending with 1882 were 335 of the 438 expected, or 24 per cent, below expectaucy, while in tlie total abstainers' section the deaths were only 73 out of 1(55 expected, or 56 per cent, in favor of the total abstainers. So uniform have been these results, wherein the datahave been furnished for comparison, that the Britian Life Association issues policies to total abstainers at a reduction of 10 per cen. "In 1882 Dr. Thomley read a paper in Bolton, England, in which he made a careful comparison of the health and death-rate of the Independent Order of Rechabites and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. The former com posed of the most rigid total abstainers from all alcoholic drinks, and the latter of the most respectable and orderly citizens, but for the most part non-abstainGTS#*' "Dr. Thomley states that in 1876 there were in Blackburn, Bolton, and Manchester 3.400 Rechabites. Their deaths that year were 40. In Blackbum. the same year, there were 3,500 Odd Fellows, and their deaths were 70. Of cases of sickness theRechabitas had 10.2 per ceut., while the Odd Fellows had 20.53 per cent. Of every 100 Rechabites 10 were sick ; of every 100 Odd Fellows 20 were sick. During the prevalence of typhoid fever, in the same district, 1? per 1,000 of the Rechabites died, and 31 "per 1,000 of the Odd Fellows. At the same time, and in the same district, 150 per 1,000 of the liquor-dealers died, being8 of the latter to 1 of the Rechabites." It will be remembered that there were no drunkards included among those insured, as no insurance company will grant a policy to a man of that class. We notice in the mortality statistics of Maine, a State wherein prohibition has existed many years, that in 1892 eleven men and women died who were over one hundred years old; and the census shows there are twenty-one centenarians still living. It is questionable whether any other State of equal population can show as favorable a report as to longevity. If a given number of young men commence a dissipated life at twenty years of age, their average longevity will not extend beyond over thirty-live yearsandsix months, whilecontinuing a steady, abstemious life they will attain to the average of sixty-four years f **?A *Y1 Anfha SliU UVTU UUUUlUOi When we, as medical men, take into jonsideration the many diseases produced by the use of alcohol which tend to destroy life, we feel astonished that my member of the profession should for a moment doubt Its effects in shortjnlng longevity. It will be seen by reference to the British Registrar-General's tables of "comparitive mortality of those eujaged in the different industries," in which it was shown that the death-rate jf men between twenty-five and sixtylive years, engaged as brewers commer3ial travellers, inn-keepers, publicaus, ivine, spirit, and beer dealers was six imes greater from diseases of the liver ind two times greater from diseases of ;he uninary organs and the cireulatory system than in farmers and graziers, J *? m ^ ...o*i/sU/?tioAiv?An rro rr?ana JliiptJIS ttU U WniCUUUOCmcu, md nurserymen. The estimated mortality due to the jffects of alcohol in this country is ibout 1,00,000 annually. Besides those who die from the varies diseases produced by alcohol, a *reat many lose their lives in brawls ind fights, and by suffering capital punishment for the commission of jrime, while some commit suicide, rhese, added to those who die from Jisease produced by drink, futher shorten the average life of the intemperate nan. The simple shorteniugof longevity is i small matter compared to the pauperism, criminality, demoralizations, and wretched homes resulting from intemperance. Dr. Crothers, of Hartford, who has lAnr?nvnQplon/>oin fho m?ncypmPnt Jau iWU^ LAJJUI IV-IIUV *41 VIJV if institutions for the inebriate and injane, says that "inebriety is the active jause of from 15 to 50 per cent, of all insanity . from 3D to 80 per cent, of all idiocy ; from 60 to 90 per ceut. of all pauperism,,and from 50 to 85 per cent. jf all crime," then asks the question, "Who can estimate the relief of the taxpayers by the removal of the perils to both property and life from drunkenness ?" D. What does kindness do at home? It nakes the mother's lulaby sweeter ;han the song of the lark, tiie care-laien brows of the father and the mau )f business less severe in their ex pre? noil, and the children joyous without jeitig riotous*. Abroad it assists the 'alien, encourages the virtuous, and ooks with charity on the uufornate. What is prayer for? Not to inform Uod, nor to move Him, unwillingly, to nave mercy, as if. like some proud pride, He required a certain amount jf reconitiou of His greatness as the price of His favor ; but to fit our own hearts by conscious need, and true desire and dependence, to receive the gift which He is ever willing to give, but we are not always fit to receive it.
