Communicated to the Illinois Stato Journal. Last Sunday evening tho Rev. II. W. Everest gave his closing lecture on the above snbject. It was gratify ing to note the large attendance and the growing public iutcrests of these lectures. The speaker said : The Stato Law provides, First, that liquor shall uot be sold without licence and tho eriviut: ot bonds and securities. Second, that liquor shall neithor be sold nor given to minors, drunkard and intoxicated persons. Third, that damages may bo recovered by those injured in person, property or means of support. The municipal law further provides that saloons shall bo closed alter midnight, on public days, and on Sundays. TlK: DEFECTS IN THE STATE LAW. 1. It legalizes crime. 2. Its fun damental principles aro unsound, viz: That there is no wrong on the part of the cellar if his victim is of age and sober; that we may repress tho result" but not tho causes which lead them ; it is a half measure permitting to steal one hundred dollars but not a thousand permitting to sell a man afeohol but not after ho is drunken; It assumes that when a son or husband has ben ruined mero money oan pay the dam age. 3. The law contains no effective provisions for its execution, the fra- mers ot the law tried hard ' not to do! il H a cmu0 Kfll,st society, against it." 4. It does not m-et tho -.ie.

It is a machine for the mnnufao r 1 1 ! 1 fure of drunkards, while it is tho duty f,i. , , . of the pnlice to promote the business 1 .i- 1 ii-i- by taking away thu traw, by hiding up thc shame. WHY THE LAW IS NOT F.N FORCED. 1. The executors of the law do not intend to enforce it. Why should they exceed in temperance zeal their pre decessors? Why should they manacle themselves with "whisky rings?" Why shoul 1 they ofTend their employers and lose the next election? Why should they make war ou public opinion? 2. Thc power of the whisky party, their number, their capital, their ac tivity, thoir zeal in this uuholy cause, are prodigious. The number and variety cf tern- perancc sneaks; thou pmfcHSi-d Chris tians who take a dram now and then, or who have an interest in a brewery or distillery; those who have rooms to rent; those who fear thc loss of trade or property; eelf-oonceited sneaks who aro too wiso to become temperance fanatics; and pious sneaks who are too pure to wade in the muddy pool of politics. Shall tho law, poor as it is, be on-, forced? Public opinion is against it. What ia rrublic opinion but your private opinion and mine? Chango private opinion and public opinion will care for itself. Lot all tho preachers, discuss this subject; let protracted tem perance meetings bo held; let church discipline be enforced; if any retpecta Lie man will champion the run traffic let public discussions be held. Let temperance men stand by the prose cutions and furnish tho monoy to carry them through, let us stand by and re elect tho men who will execute the law, and above all let us train our childreu to self-control and to an utter abhor rence of druukenncss. v The speaker closed with tho follow ing: "To bear solemn testimony against this sin has been tho sole object of these lectures and this object has been accomplished. The results aro all that could have been expected. Tho city is a monster, with twenty thousand t heads, forty thousand ears and forty thousand eyes. No one man shall make all these ears and eyes hear and soe the horrors of tho rum traffic. Some of these heads are not ''level" on any moral subject. Some are bedizzened with whiskey; some aro beguzzled with beer; some have greenbacks stuffed into their ears and bound over their eyes; soma are occupied in counting politi cal noses, and especially the red ones; some aro so pious as to gazo eternally heavenward, and never cast a glance upon mis poor, urunken earin; ana some are too respectable to think of perpetrating so vulgar a think as to stand up for any righteous reform. It j is ouly by the union and prcsistent efforts of good men that anything crui Le accomplished. The continents arose slowly above the ancient seas, and that wit h miny a partial subsidence; and so, slowly but surely, the nations shall rise out of the sloughs of darkcnr.css. Intern perencc tills the body with di.-ease, and writes eternal condemna tion on tlia soul. It produces an arti licial appuite a u ll-b.-ru di.-ca-e winch notnmg can apptase tut more ! alcohol; a dicaso whicdi, d 's;.ite t:0ent ! education and religion, dopitc the j - . t - t world's proffered honors, despite tho tears and entreaties of lathers and moth ers, wives and children, despite the de nunciations and pleading of Heaven itself, hurries tho shriokiog, maddened soul down to ruin.

A daring and atrocious outrago oc curred on thc 21st ult., on the Chicago, Rock Island k Pacific Railroad, about sixty miles west ot Pes Moines, Iowa. Six men, disguised, ditched the engine and baggage car, by which the engineer was -killed, then drove tho conductor, fireman and express messenger, back to thc coaches then robbed the express stfe of 1,700, aficr which tho despera does rode away. The sceue, at the timeot tho robbbery, is said to have been a fearful one. The stoutest hearts quailed, as with oaths the robbers fired into the train. A number of the passengers who left the coaches aud started forward, were driven back, and it is said that as there were no fire arms with which to make resistance, the robbers had things their own way Great excitement prevailed all over thc Stato of Iowa, at this bold game. Thc govcrtULCiit has offered a reward of 500 for the apprehension of the des peradoes; and tho railroad company have also offered 5,000 for thc same purpose. It is. thought that the robbers will be caught. Kvery woman may bo said to XL at forty. I MIND YOUK OWN UUSlNliSS. Written for the Fireside Friend Theerrors of a every man's life are mora than he can answer for ; and titers is more in the world for eyery man to do for himself than ho is capable of ac complishing in a life-time. If a man is anxious aud truly $rab"- . i tious to get along in the world, tho great lesson for him to learn, in tho commencement of his career, is to mind his own business. To sek for him self some honorable and legitimate calling, or occupation, and to make the best use of his time in faithfully following it. Such men rarely fail, and, w'.th them, worldly prosperity is not only certain but sure. One great secret of a man's ill sue cess in life is a failure or negligence to attend to his own affairs. He wastes so much valuable time in seeking to find flaws in the lives and characters of his neighbors that he, unconsciously, suffers his own concerns to go to ruin. Even with good intent, it is no man's business to be praying into other peo ple's affiirs. It is a profitless and 'thankless undertaking; and he who engages in it, reudtrs himself both of fensive and ridiculous. Men, as a rule, prefer to be let alone iu the man agement of their business, and if they wish for counsel or aid, they are not generally bashful nor backward about askiog for it, and they prefer to do so rather than to have such assistance gratuitously volunteered. All people have their defects and imperfections, for. to be human is to be Gallible, and the less there is said about them, the bettti for society, so long as they have no injurious ioflueuce upon the lives of other people; and, if every man would strive to know himself, to seek out his own failings and endeavor to mend thorn, with half the zeal with which he goes to work to find fhws in the habits and characters of others, he would do more to create worthy, social reforms, and torefiue aud elevate so ciety than all the intermeddling and fault-finding he could do with others in a life-time. All accountable beings arc more or less envious, selfish, covetous and uu grateful; many may not openly exhibit these odious attributes, but they have them all, down deep in their human nature, nevertheless, and from time to time, they feel and exhibit their influ ence and their power. If one, then, would get along in tho world, wou'd hope to win prosperity, friends and fortune, would hope to make for himself a proud and enviable namo and a lair fame and worthy reputation, let him mind his own business, let him concentrate all his powers and his whole energy upon his work, aud with strong hands and an active mind, push forward to the successful accomplish ment of all his undertakings. Let him livo anf so far as he is able, Jact in dependently of others, aud let his amis be lofty, and his opinions be unbiased by all conflicting ideas that tend to lessen his usefulness or power for good iu thc world. Let him meddle with no man's business concerns, save in con nection with the faithful ' performance of his own, and he will prosper aud be respected and esteemed, where hun dreds of others fail, simply bocauso he ininded his own business. Pusy not yourselves, then, in search ing for errors in other m- u's lives, fur you cannot afford to wa?to your time, your powers, and your best opportu nities iu such a useless and profitless undertaking. It is of greater concern to a man to mend oue little fault of his own, to overcome oue error and correct one failing, than to seek out nd expose a hundred iu the life and char acter of his ueighbor for the error's of every man' hie are more than ho can answer for, and there is more in he world for hin to do for himself, than he h c ablo f accomplis ling iu a lifetin o.
