Thvy that lanv long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wirtc. Lo.k not tho-i upon the wine when it is red, when it givith h's collar in the cap, when it nvneth itself aright. At the last it bi'eth like a serpent, and stimyth like an udder. Thine eye sh dl hcli aid strange women, and thine heart shall litter perverse thin---.

A sin so terrific should be detected in its oi igio and st tingled in th cr idle ; but ordina

rily, instead u. this, the habit is fixed, and. the hope of reformation h gone, before the subject has the least suspicion of danger. It is of vast importance therefore, that the various occasions of intemperance should be clearly described, that those whose condition is not

irretrievably, may perceive their danger, and fl

drawn in by enticements, associate for social

drinking, and the exhibition of courage and premature manhood. And here the iron hand of the monster is fastened upon them, at a period when they ought not to have been be

yond the reach of maternal observation. The continued habit of dealing out ardent !

snirits. in various forms and mixtures, leads

he fami!v,osan!a:4f5to frequent tasting, tasting to dunking,

and dJtnkmg to tippling, and tippling to drunkenness.

a fatal end is so manifest, and the prestimp

tuous daring of Heaven is so great, that (iod in his righteous displeasure is accustomed to withdraw his protection and abandon the sinner to his own way. Feeble health and mental depression arc to

be numbered among the occasions of intem

perance. The vital sinking, and muscular debility, and mental darkness, are for a short time alleviated by the application of stimulate. But the cause of this momentary alleviation is applied and repeated, until the habit of excessive thinking is formed and has become irresistible. Medical prescription have no doubt contributed to increase the number of the intemperate. Ardent spi i its, administered in the fot m of bitters, or a,s the medium of other medicine, have let in the destroyer , J while the patient was seeking health at the hand of the physic iari, hi? was dealing out debility and death The distillation of ardent spirits fails not to raise up around the establishment a genera-

tion of drunkards. I he cheapness ol the artide, and the ease whith which families can provide themselves with large quantities, the product of their own labor, eventuate in frequent drinking, and wide spread intemperance.

The vending of ardent spirits, in places licensed or unlicensed, is a tremendous evil. Here, those who have no stated employment loiter away the d.y fur a few potations of rum, and here, tie- vho wave finished the toils of the day meet lo spend a vacant hour; none content to be lookers on s all drink, and none

supplied by the evening and morning dram, from the wages of labor until the appetite has become insatiable, and the habit of intemperance nearly universal until the nervous excitability ha3 obliterated the social sensibilities, and turned the family into a scene of babbling and wo until voracious appetite has eaten up the children's bread, and abandoned them to ignorance and crime, until conscience has become callous, and fidelity and industry have disappeared, except as the result of eye service; and wanton wastefulness and contention, and reckless wretchedness characterize the establishment.
