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.

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__

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

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

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.
