OAQE? j TELL-KB I HATE THE BOWL 1 i . s A young lady of New York was in the habit writing for the Philadelphia Ledger on the sub- ' ject of tem?ersnce. Her writings were so full I of pathos, atuF evinced such deep emotion of | soul that a friend occused her of being a maniao on the subject of temperance, whereupon she < wrote the following lines: , Go feel what I here felt, 1 Go bear what I have borue; ] flink 'neath the blow a father <! .>!t And the cold world's proud scorn ; Then suffer oa from yoar to year ( Thy sole re'isf the scorching tear. ( Go kneel ns I have knelt, * 1 Implore, beseech, and pray; Strive the besotted heart to melt The downward course to stay . t Be dashed with bitter curse aside, j Youj prayers burlesqued, your tears defle J, ^ Ge weep as I have wept, t O'er a loved father's fall; Seo every promised b'essing swept, * Youth's sweetness turned to gall; I Life's fading flowers strewing all the way. That brought me up to woman's day. ' Go see what I have seen, Behold the strong man bowed ; With gnnshing teeth, lips bathed in blood 1 And cold and livid brow ; , Go catch his withered glance and see. There mirrored, his soul's misery. I Go to thy mother's side. And her crashed bosom cheer ; Thine own deep anguish hide; I Wipe from her checks the bitter tear, Mark ber worn frame and withered brow, The gray that streaks her dark hair now, With fading frame and trembling limb, And trace the ruin back to him V Whose plighted faith, in early youth, Promised eternal love and truth. ? But who, forsworn, haili yielded up That promise to the curse 1 cup, 8 And led her down, through love and light. And chaiued her there, 'mid want and strife t That lowly tiling, a drunkard a wife : I And stamped on childhood's brow so mild That withering blight, a drunkard's child. 0 a n. i - ? * * * vju near, aim ioei nnu sec, fin-i know .

Oee fourth grain of j, strychnine, or one grain of morphio, will des- , troy a human life, yet, by constant and )oug continued use in small quantities, the blunted susceptibilities of the nerve centres are 6 gradually brought so to tolerate theso and * like poisons, that eventually enough may t besafelv taken at onon l?v ihi? i??#?pKi?i j ?"?

Again { it is demonstrated in the observation of ( every ouc, that the use of n >xiom agents, t especially tobacco, begets a morbid nppo 1 lite which demands that continually more of t it may and must be employed to produce < the dame impreMiion. Why? Because the nerve centres are blunted ; their normal ii seneiblilitics are impaired; they can not ^ readily respond to any impression.
