A C! rowing TFnm Ponurt j's Democrat Ye, comparulivi ly, rarely hear of a sudJen death, nowadays, (if tiny man when t!ic comment U not made " Whis ky will fete It 'em.'7 There is scarcely a community, irom the ftiowy bunks of the Ponobscot to the savanna of Flo rida, or from the storm shores of tht Atlantic to the Pacific Mare, in which this remark is not made ahnast every day iu the year, and, we regret to ad roit, with too much drscrved applica tion, The victim of the vice of in tcirpcrancc are around u.s in every di rection. And so far from all the efforts of temperance men to arrest the prog ress of the alcoholic epidemic being successful, it almost seems that the at tention they attract to the question, in stead of deterring men from catering upon the downward path to ruin, insti gates them to that course. The miserable thralls to thb social plague arc found in every walk of life. The judge upon the bench is diraaccd, in the est! ma turn of his constituents, by his addiction to the flowing bowl. The lawyer of brilliant talents and in lucrative prao j tice becomes subject to the influence of j the ' dangerous stimulant, and falls at length below the range of respectability ond confidence. The politician, aspir ing to the highest places in the gilt f the people, commences his career with unclouded prospects, tempted by whis ky, becomes at last the curbstone bum mer and hanger on of the party whoso principles he advocates. The merchant on the crest of the topmost wave of ' commercial prosperity, is bitten by the "worm cf the till," and trotu his lofty financial altitude descends to the dole ful steps of inexcuseable bankruptcy. The enemies of all such men point with derision to their conduct, and their friends hang their heads in shame, aud whisky (the generic name for all Alcoholic beverages) has accomplished these foul results.: Uudcr its baneful iufluencc the kind-hearted neighbor be comes a mortal .foe; the .hard-working man a useless wretch, a fiend in his family and a pest to society. Whisky has conquered him and burned out his moral nature, the last relic of decency and true manliness. Whisky will beat any man living who will keep up the contest long suouh. The wan who attempts a strutrjrle with John ..Barley corn tiny hold his own (he can uver obtain the slightest advantage of his spirited antagonist) for one year, or ten, or twenty, but when he finally succumbs to the potency of his adversary, he goes down to a drunkard's grave with no loftier expression of-sympathy on the lips of our best friends than this: " Whisky will fetch 'em," Yet, with such undisguisable facts before the public it is a mournful verity that drunkenness is a 'growing evil.,. In truth, wearf a-'natton"1' of drunkards.' TLe 'American people are immense coo surucrs of ardent spirits. Mr. Young, of the Statistical Bureau, has compiled a table of fearful figures against them He estimates that the consumption for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1871, was : Of whisky, 00,000,000 gallons, at SO retail, $360,0000,000 ; imported spirits, 2,500,000 gallons, at SIO retail, Sltf.OOO.OOO; imported gin, J 0.700, 000 gallons, at Sf retail, 95:5,500,000 ; ale, beer, and porter, (5,500,000 barrels at $20 retail, 8130,000 000 ; native brandies, wines ami cordials, rjmtitiry unknown, estimated value at 31,500, 000. Total S000,000.000. As proof of the correctness of the above, it may he stated that during the la-t li.-cal year the receipts from retail whisky dealers, who pa'd 25 each for license, amounted to S5,050,000, iudieating that there are 140,000 retailers of liquor in the united States. By including those who es caped paying license J'ees, estimated at 4,000. the number is increased. These are figures that d not lie. raid should appall the mind of the most iu veteruie tippler. They should warn him of the shoals of di.-a-ti and the rooks of ruin upon which lie is rushing. They MiUUlil strike huu with consternation and hid him pause left re he is iaul out a worthless wreet UpoU v We. uufoi bidding shores of dissipation tor the hundredth time, anjure all o! our readers to abstain from the iutoxi eating bowl.

We ad mit the truth of thisad tgo. But idle ness l- r;ot the only cut ranee that his bold lowmvs crawls through. Business; iu the too oiJ.uen aceejitation of the 'meaning of the word, shows quite as uratil an avenue to his Satanic jl:tjety as idler ess do's. Deceit tn husioess transactiotis is not uncotiMii.ui. If prac ticed in accordance with law, it is counted simply 'smart," or sharp." The man that would despise a thief, and scorn to take another man's prop ertv behind his back, will m tke all the unjust profit he cau 'in the way of trade" i'roui tlu; same individual before their face ; will take every advantage of his confidence or unsuspecting igno rance, and think it all riht. But in such doings the devil walks in. The man th it 'really his charity in his heart, docs " in the way of bush, ness," drag a fellow being down to deg radatioti and systematic ruin, just for the miserable pmce that a starving and disgraced family needs to buy bread with And the devil jumps in with a vengeance We have even known a solemn Chris tian who attended Church regularly, aad pra)ed hideously loud at revivals, to actually cheat and swindle a poor, trusting old man his neighbor out of a valuable piece of timber,for the con sideration of six dollars; and he con. soled himself by saying the law was on his side. Where did the devil come 10 in that ca3e ? Any one can easily continue this category by taking his own memory, and by making observa tions every week in his life, and find doors where the devil gets in. O, business man !" if you would keep the devil out, let the highest hu man purposes regulate your every day life and transactions, for ill-gotten wealth is a fiend. The Woman .Suffrage: Bill the following is the Woman Suffrage bill introduced by (jeneral Butler in the House of Itepresentatives : " That no citizen of the United States, hav ing the qualifications prescribed by law entitling such citizms to vote at any election in any State or Territory, shall be in any 'manner hindered or deprived of a vote at any election by reason of sex. See 2d That the provisions of an act, entitled "Art Act to enforce the rights of citizens of the United States of this Union, and other purposes," approved March 31st, 1870, appropri ate to 'enforcing' the provisions of this Act, arc hereby applicable thereto." Peculiar Icorlc." Two or three years ago an American vessel, the Japan, Was shipwrecked on the 'extreme northern coast of Siberia, inhabited by a mixed race supposed to have originated from a mingling of the Russian and Tartar tribes, among wuom the crew spent u considerable time. Ul timitely they were takeu off by a New Bedford wha'cf, and lately reached the Sandwich Islands with the the crews of the ships abnudoned in the Arctic occnt, TLe ueWi 'ptiou ot'rhich they give of the customs and modes of life of their singular entertainers ought to have an especial interest for those san guine Cious who imagine that the whole World is ripe for the immediate establishment of au universal Republic. The staple food of these people consists of raw whale and walrus iu a state of decomposition, while such is their im moderate love j of tobacco, which, in common with) whiky, they procure from occasional traders, that children of both sexes, only a few mouths old, may be seen engaged iu chewing the weed. In the-summer time they live iu huts made of walrus hide, and iu whi ter in holes excavated iu the mountain .-ides, daylight being admitted through holes cut in the locks, which are stop ped up w th ice instead of glass. Dur ing the summer the meu employ them selves in hunting whale and walrus iu 1 canoes, while the women are kept busy iu jjatheritiir jiTass and herbs for edible and other purposes. Iu wioter the chief objects of pursuit are deer, bear and foxes. The walrus, however, i- their staphs reliance, the blubber being p'aced in pits whose warmth soon re duces it to .4 state of nuMefaetion, in j w ieh condition it is ecemed us a ereut luxury, while the hide furni-hes ma terial for huts, clothing, fishing net-, :iid pretty near everything else. Pa lygamy is indulged in to a great ex tent, each man having as many wive an he can keep ; ' the women, if they do not suit or meet the expectations of the hushjrul, being jicCardcd and sent back to their parents after a few weeks pro bation, while in c.ise of isifi i' lity to their beg" lo'd.a piece of the o!leuhr nose Is tWfei'ed for the crime. T. e it! ors say, naively, that they met with many victims -f this rigorn law dur ing their si-j eiro among tlu ni. A It K MA UK aiu.f. Skt.

' Out iu the shop, settin' the saTf," replied the youth. " And you Dick V ' Out in the bam, settin' a heu." And you, sir ?" "Up in Cranny's room, settin the clock." "And you, young man ?" "Up iu the garrett, settin a trap." "And now, master Fred, where were you, and what were you settin ?" ask ed the old farmer of the youngest progeny, flu asperity of his temper being somewhat softened by this cat egory of answers. ' Come, let's hear !" ,k()ut on the doorstep, settin' still I" replied the young hopeful seriously. " A remarkable set, I imift con fess," added the amused sire, dispers ing the grinning group with a wave of his hand. Household Education. Children hunger perpetually for new ideas. They will learn with pleasure from the lips of parents what they deem it drudgery to study in books; and even if they havd the misfortune to be deprived of many educational advantages they will grow up intelligent, if they enjoy in child hood the privilege of listening daily to intelligent conversation. We sometimes see parents who are the life of every company which they enter, dull, silent and uninteresting at home among their children. If they have not mental ac tivity and mental stores sufficient for both, let them first use what they have for their own households. A sileut house is a dull place for young people from which they will escape if they can How much useful information on the other hand, is often given in family Conversation, and what uncon scious but excellent mental training in lively soeial argument. Cultivate to the utmost all the graces of homo couvc.satiun. Trial ot a CouimuuU Heroine. A heroine of the Commune, Madem oiselle Louise Mitchell, a schoolmistress, of high attainments and position, who had sixty pupils belonging to good fam ilies, who is 30 years old, and very handsome, ha been tried by the Ver sailles court-martial as an accomplice in the acts oi the Commune, as having personally fought in uniform, and as having written articles in the Crl du Veonh iucitiug to the assassiuatiou of UwJ'AWo Generals. He rmanuer was simple, calm, mod est and unassuming, but she defied her Judges, saying that she respected the social revolution she respected the Court more than she did Committees of p;trdon, which judged in secret. Site stood face to face, she said, with her enemies, who she knew must con demn her. She admitted that she took part in almost every council of the Commune, and declared that the Com mune was honest and iunoceut, and had no thought of murder or arson. She would have shot the two Generals Clcmeut, Thomas and Lecomt with her own hands had he seen them on the sen tie of action ; but she repu li ated as a dastardly deed their execu tion when th y were prisoners. She had proposed fire as a stratagctical means of opposing the advance ot the Vers iilltsts She exhorted Ferre to in vade the Assembly, and regretted that lie had not done so. She meant two lives to be sacrificed at Versailles, those f M Thiers and her own. M. Merelund, her council assigned to her, .declined to speak for the de fence, by express order of the prisoner. She said: "Ail I afek of you is to send me to Satory. Shoot me there, and let me s'eep be.-ide my beloved l'rro The Public Prosecutor is right; I have no place in this Weill at a time when an ounce of lea 1 i the porttju of the lovers of liberty and right."
