THE ROAD TO RUIN. I Not long since I calk d upon n young man, a parisioner of mine, the husband of? good wife, and itn I'uilnf oftwo interesting children. I'm hng him in the field at work, lor lie was a farmer, I walked out into the corn field, anJ entered into conversation with him. In the course of conversation, he remarked, 44 Why, yes sir, 1 have every thing pleasant around me here. I have u good wife; healthy and interesting children ; n very fine farm, and 1 do not owe a doll >r in the world, but," he contiuued, and his hps trembled, nnd he stuek his hoe spasmodically into tlie earth,44 J am becoming a drunkard* Said he, as vvc continued the conversation,44 1 have gradually and incessantly acquired so strong an appetite for ardent spirits, tnat when temptation comes, as it docs every time that I go to market, 1 am utterly una. hie to withstand." Said he,441 see perfectly to what this habit is leading mo, and I nm as wretched as a man can be ; I shall probably come home a staggering drunkard, tend break the heart, and perhaps personally ? 1 ? i.,1,1 aouse my poor wiic?ue?gur vhhuiuh, become a disgrace to myself and aii my friends till we thudy all become the miserable inmates of the poor house. 1 foresee it all," sa:d he, " and yet whenever i go to the su re and see others drink, and run invited and urged by thtni to partake, I have no power to resist," and ho covered his lace with ins hands and wept like a sobbing child. I endeavored to KvJ him to look to God for strength ; and to make it his daily prayor, at the family altar, and in secret, thai God would aid him to overcome temptation. "Come,** said he, "go to the house and pray for me." We went to the house. He caJ. leJ his wife and little ones, and the mother of his wife, who lived with them, and was dependent on them, together, and we kneeled around the k tcheu hearth in prayer for that mental strength so fearfully n eded. : A month or two passed away, I occas. tonally hearing that he was continuing tlx: downard path, till I was unexpectedly called to his house to aitend the funeral of his w ife, who died of a sudden fever, probably aggravated by the apprehension of the woes be lore thern. As 1 observed in his flushed countenance the evidences of en ire selfabandonment an i despair, 1 could not re. Train from feeling that it would have been a m< rcy if tus children had also been lying in the coiflu with their mother. A day or two after the funeral, I visited him, and we conversed freely upon what ho culled his appro .chmg and inevitable ruin. And as 1 spoke of ins motherless, babes, wii i the new responsibilities, now devolving upon him, he sud, ** Sometimes I am able for a week, or a fortnight, to abs'riin al:other. 1 do not allow myself to keep a X5 0 a drop in my I to use. Bat am compelled oc. Caworwlly to go to market, and there the Very UK-alb. of those 1 m?-et, fart* into a very sight maddens me ; die poruassion of (hose who are drinking finishes the temptation, and I am gone." A few months pass-d away, and f was suddenly ?erit for, one bright summer's afternoon to visit him, for he was sick. I rode out 'o his farm, for he lived two or three jmdes from rm house, (bund him in all the liorrors of the delirium tremens. Did you ev-r st-o a person in the delirium tremens? if out, God grant that you never may. , A few more months passed away, and I Reamed that he h id abandoned his quiet Tarfn, and enter d into the trade in horses, and that under the influence of ardent spirits, ho was making v< ry foolish bargains, and was fast loosing all his pro|>erty. A few mouths since, as I accidentally took up a uewspaper, I saw the record of his death, at the age, I behove, of thirty-two. And here we sec the legitimate effects of fiBing our village stores and oar country bar rooms with rum. How many are there fit this moment, who are going to ruin as mL serabfy, and as surely, us did this unhappy man. O, how far and wide are the rumselling shops and taverns spreading this wo*> and death. And when the legislature de. cides that this ruin must arrested ; that this fiend l.ke trafic shall no longer be al. lowed, men, prof ssin_ to be respectable and . philauthropUic, rise up among us uml say that the cause of temperance and human happiness demands that the tavern and the grog- shop must be well replenished with rum, and they will ronsack the allays ol tin* city, and the hedges of the country, to oh. tain a force with which indignantly to re. peal that law of prohibition, which the s'ae in its parental solicitude and compassion has so mercifully enacted. O where has mercy fled, that men can now, with all the light of the present day, vote to perpeiuato (he retail sale of rum. Southern Christian Advocate. From lh? London Christian Observer. THE NARROW WAY. The fol owing remarks on our Lord's temp:a ion, load us to form in some degree, a just idea of ihe nature of tin: narrow path which icadeth unto life, and of what it is that makes that path narrow. Two of the tempta ions which Satan sug gested to our Lord were to the opposite ox. j trrmes of 8?n?first, to ditrust God's providential care, w Command that these stones be made brend and w hen he could not <fT-ct this, lie would ead him on to the op. |K>s?ie extreme, and tempt him to presume upon it ? Cast thyself down." And believe me that it requires much consultation with God in secret prayer, and much of that Pivine wisdom which God alone can give, to walk safely and steadily along the narrow and dangerous path which alone leadelh unto life ; and when we shun tho gulf of sin on one side, to avoid plunging into it on the other. It is difficult for example, in the conduct of our temporal concerns, to avoid covctousness and undue anxiety, without negligence, prodigality, and wasteful extra, vagance. In our daily intercourse with others, it is difficult to avoid the melancholy gloom crccctio austerity of superstition, without passing in'o tee opposite extreme of levity and ungodly mirth. It is difficult to ji avoid the unbending sternness, the rudu in- 051 cvility, the harshness an J severity of scru- / pie, without compromise of strict principle, 'J sacred truth, holiness of heart and life. In and our own spiritual experience, it is difficult to avoid legality, without spiritual slo.h ; or, ? on the other Itand, idolence without spiritual cul pride. It is difficult to steer clear of the due Scyfia or self righteousness on this side, any' without verging, unsafely, towards the all- lln^ absorbing Charybdis of nntinomian liccn- vv-| tlotisncss on the other. It is difficult to Qrd avoid, as in the case before us, distrust with, con out presumption ; and when the despairing- lioi sinner has consented to believe the free 28 and full promises of the Gospel?that the Divine mercy is able, and willing, to pardon, del: and save him from bis sins?not to stretch 1 that mercy beyond its due limits, and per- Jec! suade himself that it will save him in his sins. But, blessed be God, greater is He ? thut is for us than be (hut is against us. God's promise is pledged to us, as to our J Lord, to keep us in all our ways?in every ^ path ofdu y, however intricate anJ danger- V-IZ ous ; and until we quit that narrow path for j the broad way of sin, and wilfully rush with, pro n the limits of Sa:an's chain, tho lYionster JJi may growl to terrify us, bu: cannot devour, |u or even wound. lie may solicit us to sin, at", as he did our Blessed Lord, ** Cast thyself J ?> t. ,?rA n rnn. W uowiI f ?ui uidu^ii we aiwuu u j-........- __ cle of the temple?on an eminence of dan- J| ger, a nd where a touch could precipitate J as into ruin?if we be but faithful to Divine Grace and to ourselves, he cannot put forth a finger to effect it. Unless our own will ^ consen's* all his attempts are impotent and ? must prove abortive?or rather, they will bu redound to God's glory, and to our own V greater happiness. u YVho cau harm you if ye be followers of that which is good ? 1 But and f ye suffer for righteousness'sake, ? hnppy are ye." M The Spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you"?'on your part fie is giorified." i TEMPERANCE IN TENNESSEE. We have had a long conversation with a J very respectable and intelligent friend, who jtr has recently returned from Tcnnesee, whore by he had been travelling almost constantly for four months, and had travelled about _J l600 miles?and over tbose par s of the stale where he had in former years been "| well acquainted with the habits ofthepco- tl pie. lie expressed his as'onishment at ihe He great cliango that was every where appa- , rent. During the whole Of his extensive ?' excursion, he saw intoxicating liquor off red for sale in only two places, fie was T in Kingston during the tune of court,?a place formerly very much given up to dissipation?indeed to use his own significant ? expression, it was when ho was last there belbre,44 a real rowdy place." But on his H| recent visit, although court week, there was A not a panicle of liquor to bo bough: in rown, j nor did he see a man intoxicated, flu up m the two nights in Knoxville, one of the largest pre towns in the state,?not a grocery or bar l J was seen, and he could not learn that any J liquor was retailed. In Mlryville, an old * sw igcer culled on a grocer who had recently A been compelled to shut up, and asked for 18 some whiskey. The grocer told him he * had none?but imimab d that if lie would go around to the buck door, lie might find 10 some. But this propos tion was instantly njectcd with disdain. " N<>," said he,44 it J I cuni'tget it lawfully, and above.bouid, j -I'm not going to steal*'?so lie went away -g j without it. .I Our friend was in the State when t!,e d-*. sl" ci-ioti of the Supreme Cowrt Sustaining the _J law was published, fie s ii I the effect was Hslonishing, and every wImtc decisive, 'i'fie fi* rum si llers and dis:illcrs had been looking tJ lor that decision with coufijent expectation that it would reinstate them in their long ^ cherished tttid favorite pursuit. They there. fore kept up tln ir spirits till the decision was J announced ; when they were at once, every pm where chop-faiicn and gave up in despair, wj He expresses it as his decided opinion, that the law will tvery where be respected and * sustained.
