Experiment en a Drunkard. We find in the Bangor Commercial Ad* vertiser the following remarkable account of an experiment on a drunkard, perform**] by a medical student at South Berwick. The fact which it describes is a remarkable one, and is apparently well authenticated, fc. It is worthy the attention of the physiologist, and must strike terror to the drunkard, it he is susceptible of any feeling. * [Landmark.] Ig.n it ion of 11 cm an Blood. W e observe in the Morning Star, an interesting expCriment which was performed by Jacob C. J lanson, a medical student of South Berwick, Me., v>n the blood of a Common drunkard, who was a resident of that village in August last. The circumstances were briefly these. .Mr. Hanson had some time previous to his Irving the experiment, read in some of the physiological authors that on the dissection of the cerebrine of a defunct drunkard, a fluid was discovered in its frontal sinus, which on being extracted and ignite*! bv the anatomist, burned with a bllie flame, r rom t lis circumstance* Mr. II. was induced to draw the conclusion, iba durii g a protracted At of intoxication, the blood must bo strongly impregnated with alcohol, and a favorable opportunity soon occurred for testing the truth of his conjecture. An habitual and confirmed drunkard, came staggering into the office of the physician with whom Mr. 11, was a student. This object of pity and ' disgust was inhaling an oder mote resembling alcohol than the breath of a human being. His eye was inflamed and flushed, and his whole system had been saturated with rum for a fortnight without cessation; during the time he had taken little food hut had swallowed tito gallons of Rum, in the course of the previous five days. Mr. II. remarked that there was some danger of his perishing by spontaneous combustion, and observed to hirn that he might derive considerable lienefit from being bled, giving it as his opinion that the blood was much encumbered with alcohol, and that he could ignite it, or ir. the words which he used to tin?. drunkard, " set it on fire.'' This last remark was followed by a request from the drunkard that he should be bled, which was performed without delay. From the odor which was perceptible to all present the moment the fluid followed the lancet, it was evident that it consisted of a mixture of blood and alcohol. This was fully confirmed by the epxerimcnt which followed. A pint bowl filled with this fluid was handed to one of the spectators who igliitcd a match and bringing it in Contact with the contents of the bowl, a conflagration immediately ensued: burning with a blue flame for the soace of twentv-five or thirty seconds. Mr. IT. concludes his accouu: of this curious and interesting experiment in the following words:? The above experiment which resulted in a phenomenon thus brilliant, aftd which I had never noticed either by observation or in authors, was not only witnessed by myself, and the subject of it who sat mute, astounded and in breathless silence, but by several respectable gentlemen,together with a worthy and respected physician, my tutor, who were present and who in the subjoined certificate vouch for the authenticity of the fact I note submit to the public. Jacob C. Hanson. to the public. We the undersigned, residents of South 'Berwick, Me., do hereby certify that we were present and witnessed the experiment above described. Charlee Tuafton, Jonx G. Webster, John Kennabd. We cannot conclude our notice of this singular pltcnomcnon without urging on the votaries of intemperance a serious consideration of the truth which it developes. Can we wonder that while a liquid fire is thus traversing the whole system, and scorching the fiuost tissues of the human frame?that delicate sensibility should be lost? With a scorpion, like ale olio I, stinging the brain and firing the whole nervous system, need we he surprised that the unfortunate victim of this cursed poison ie frequently impelled to acts of madness and desperation. It would iiwl>v>/l if ,1m ft?IC U'lliph tK?U? ^viaugv iiiuwu it wuv in vo ?*??vi? v?w smoulder in the system, shculd never sting the miserable sufferer into deeds of tlie dorkest dye, and urge him forward in the madcning course of debauchery and blasphemy. We trust that this experiment will have the effect of waking up the philantliropist, and urging on the friends of temperance to wage an unceasing warfare with this overpowering and desolating evil, until the u bine flame" which has risen from the blood of a fellow being, light the repentant drunkard back to the path of temperance* and serve as a bea* con light to those who would avoid the horrible life and miserable end of the confirmed drunkard. From the Temperance Recorder. THE DRUNKARD'S PROGRESS?A FACT. 1^??S was the son of respectable ]>orents. His lather dying while he was voung, left in the hands of his guardian for his son, a handsome property, sufficient to support all his wants. He was apprenticed to a trade, aivl served faithfully, giving entire satisfaction to his employer, who dreaded to liave hiun leave, and made him an advantageous offer to enter into partnership with him. He accepted, and commenced business under the most fluttering prospects of success. Possessiig the confidence of his partner, the love and affection of his customers, no one's prospects for future usefulness were brighter than his. Business flourished. Money came as it were, like dew. He secured the good will o?h? companions?rose high in the estima. . ticn of all who kuew him?held responsible offices, rind was considered one of the first men w* the pfcice. By his perseverance aod industry > ? a few years he acquired enough to retire from hid business and live at ease. He seemed to be satisfied with . this world's ttea$uroe,& looked forward with pleasure to the quiet retirement of domestic ' life,' wlien in the bosoin of his family lie could 3[>end his days in peace, free from the ^caros and, turmoiJS of business. But alas! how vain ami futile were Ins glorious an- : ticipations of future bliss and enjoyment, when moving in the circle of his friends, a pattern of honesty, frugality and temperance, lie should hear his name spoken with plea- j sure by his associates and receive their approving benedictions. The destroyer came in the shape of the friendly treat. Fashion worked his ruin. It was the fashion of the day to pass the sparkling bowl around when friends met to talk over the news' and spend a few hours in each others society. Temperate at first, he slowly acquired the habit of frequent drinking, and was occasionally found ( suffering under too much spirits, lie little thought to what an cntl his course was leading,'?what fearful results, were soon to burst upon his vision! Remonstrance from his friends had no effect. His former standing in society,1>md the fall into which he was hastening, checked not, but rather accelerated his doom. Gambling lent its aid to complete his ruin. The company of the ' respectable wasjbrsaken 4\>r that of the vile and vicious?the pleasures of the domestic circle, for the companionship of those \v!k> revel in the lowest sinks, of pollution and folly?whose deeds love darkness rather than light, and who glory not in spreading abroad the benevolent principles of virtue, science, and religion, but only those of a coruptinsr, demoralizing and debasing influence. His possessions passed away, like the morning cloud, falling into the hands of the gambler and seller of Rum. His friends forsook him, and he held communion only with the workers of iniquity. From the resectable standing he once held in society, he fell to the lowest and most degraded, a curse to 'himself, and sorrow to his friends. His career of folly and madness at length came to an end. His property was gone; and Af, who could once boast of being in j>osscssion of thousands, now a tenant -of the poor house, a miserable victim to intemperance, thrown lor his subsistence upon the hand of charity, with a constitution worn down by the dissipations n i l oi mannoou. When I asked him wlwt had become of his companion in dissipation, his reply was, one is in the same condition with myself, in the poor house; another became a confirmed drunkard, and in a fit of intoxication, jumped from a window and was killed.? Another and another have died miserable victims of intemperance. Reader, this is not a fictitious narrative, but a true one. as told me by the individual above mentioned. IIow many thousand cases similar to this there are in our coun. try, we know not. Undoubtedly many of a similar nature have fallen under our own observation. This is not a solitary one. Would to Heaven it was,?that our ears were not -daily pained with die recital of sucli melancholy events^ and eyes sinkened with beholding them,?that we were not obliged to sec the immortal spirit of man so degraded and faHen ; that rational and accountable beings will suffer themselves to be enticed into the paths- of dissipation by the wily artifices of ihe Votaries of sonsual pleasure. Yet human nature is weak. We arc too willing to suffer our appetites to gain the ascendency over our better feeling, and lead us from the correct road of our moral obligations. That our country may be freed from the withering and bHghtning effects of intern pcrrncc, it is necessary for all who love mankind and desire to sec them prosperous and happy, to aid in expelling tlus Arabian exile from-the land of the 4<Dra\eand the free." May all be willing to enlist in the crusade against crime and iniquity, who wish to see advance the glorious principles of mortal rectitude and right. Let us rest not, until we arc free from this annoying evil; this curse and scourge of nations and men. This cause appeals for support to every age and sex, for nil arc exposed to its destructive etlects. Let us strive to hasten on the long wished for day \then there shall bo no more drunkenness in the land, but all be enlisted uncter the wide spreading banner of temperance and her kindred virtues; and the reward we shall have for our labors, will be the consciousness of having done our duty to ourselves and those around us. G. S. AN INCIDENT. In an obscure village in the State of Vermont, there lived an aged man, friendless and without connexions, for he was one of the early settlers and came here alone. During the revolution he took up arms with the rebels and gave his nronertv for the benefit o M M * of the revolutionary army. lie endured all the privations which chartcterized that struggle for liberty, he signalized himself in several battles, and after the efforts of the friends of freedom were crowned with success, he retired to private life. He became very poor, and was compelled to earn his daily bread by working one day here and next there. His wife died; children he had none. In this state, alone in the world, divested of pro__ . j ? j:. r i .1.. [K.TIV, ageu anu limnu, a crcuuor suizou iue few little effects that he had, and committed his body to prison. Some of his acquaintances bailed him out to the " liberty of the yard." He remained within "the limits" twenty-seven years; sometimes working for one person, and sometimes for another, at such work as he could perform. Garden, ing in the summer, and doing chores in the winter, were his usual occupations. Finally he mode a bargain with tire village tavern keeper, and bound himself out during life,; for his board and clothes. He used to take care of horses, make ffres, <5cc. At this | period of his life there was a conspicuous j character travelling through the country, j receiving the congratulations and attention j of all classes of our citizens. As he hasten- i ed through our village, his fame went before j him, and the people turned out en masse to ' bid him a heart)- welcome. He arrived at the village where the " old soldier" lived and stopped over night in the same house. The old man knew him, and often tried to get access his apartments, but without success. The aristocracy of the place, the ruffled shirty the silk gowns, 'he little mas- j tei and pretty mfescs," must first greet the [ stranger. However the old man made interest of one of his village acquaintances to reqttest an interview with the stranger. "Tell him," said he, "that Captain B. of the ?? Regiment of Infantry, wislics to see hint at his leisure." The stranger was electrified. " What!" said he, "is he alive ? Where is he ?" at the same time leaving his rulllc shirt company, he went into the bar room in search of the "old soldier." He found him. " Is it possible," said the stranger, "that you are alive?" They embraced each otlu r, and were so affected that neither could give utterance to one syllable. The sjiectafors wondered, gazed, and were confounded. The best feelings of human nature gained the mastery of the whole assembly. At last, said the stranger to the " old soldier," conic with me. They retired to a room alone and conversed about bygone times ; about the battles they had fought mfft.thr.twnud the hardshiDs thev had encouu ten d. Eacli gave a particular narration ot his iife since their separation, and that of the Old Soldier was heart rending to the illustrious stranger. He told him of his poverty, his troubles, and his incarceration in j>rison, his jH-esent means of subsistence, &c. "IIow much do you now owe?" said the stranger. " I have been on the limits ttceniy. seven years for nineteen dollars. The costs and interest may now amount to one liundred." " Tl?cre are two one hundred dollar bills," said the stranger, " pay what thou owest. I shall leave a deposit in the Bank, where you can draw for two hundred dollars a year as long as you live." By this time the j>cople without were impatient and could not divine the cause of the privacy be. twcea the two heroes. They went out, took sonic refreshment; the stranger return, cd to his company, and the old soldier went to the lawyer's office and paid his debt. He then went into the tailor's and procured a suit of clothes. The next day the old soldier and the strangerdeparted together, leaving the people to conjecture the cause of the metamorphosis of the one and the strange conduct of the other. The old soldier, how ever, returned to his native village in a fewweeks, and the pcopl j who before would scarcely sj>eak to him, unless it was for the purpose of telling him to get out of their way, were all glad to see him. He, nevertheless, pursued the even tenor of his way. That stranger was General LAFAYETTE. PHILADELPHIA BOOTS. JUST received one [case super Calf-skin BOOTS, of Philadelphia Manufacture. G. II.
