WHO WJLI BE TIIE NEXT VICTIM?
Each anniversary has its victims for
Bacchus Besides tho reeling multi
tude who prostrate their intellects be
fore the king of Alcohol, there are usu
ally recorded deaths from intemper
ance at such seasons. Out of the
'modern high places' devoted to his
special service, immortal beings stag
ger forth to perish by the way side or
meet the last enemy upon beds of un
consciousness. How awful the thought
of meeting the Judge summoned out
of a last debauch and revelry' How
dreadful the idea of reeling into eter
nity—of being cut off in the act of self!
destruction ! Yet every season of fes |
tivals record several such cases. This j
and that one have been found cold
in death from intoxication. Nothing j
more is thought of the matter. The
modern places of the Tipplers' Resort
drive the same trade without compunc
tion ; and as one class of victims dies
off another class is ready to lake their
place Fresh victims for the shrine of
tho great desfmver are over ready
From all ranks of theeommnnily these
are furnished, and over the blasted re
mains of many might be inscribed:
"This is the grave of the drunkard."
The alarming extent of degradation
and crime that follow the use of spir
ituous liquors, is a terrible blight upon
the peopio of America. It is home in
struction, the example of the parents,
and by making impressions upon the
child, imparling a full knowledge of
the danger that follows the frequent
use of ardent spirits, that is tho most
potent to their salvation. There have
been many good laws enacted in sev
eral of the States to suppress its use,
but they have partly been deprived-of
their power, for want of proper instruc
tion in the family circle
Who 6kall be the next victim? Fath
ers, mothers, the question is for you
Shall it be that hopeful son, on whom
you dote so fondly? or shall it be that
lovely daughter, the present joy and
pride of your heart? toil do not think
it possible, or you could not initiate
your offspring in tho use of the dan
gerous cup. You could not, 1>3 T vour
own example, show them the way to
tho great Pandemonium. You could j
not encourage them in the drinking
customs of the passing seasons. "Be
not deceived; evil communications cor
rupt good manners;" and evil customs
undermine morality. Many, who, like
you.'oneo thought the danger of in
temperance impossible, have lived to
fall through tho seductions of the sub
tie demon, or to see their dearest
friends within the evils of its fatal net
N e are appalled when wc read of the
horrid sacrifices of idolatrous nations
V e are amazed that any human being i
could bo so debased as to prostrate ;
himself before the destructive car of j
Juggernaut; but alas, the monster of :
intemperance is really destroying
more victims annually in our gospel
land than even the ponderous wheels
ot the Indian Idol. Parents, beware !
of the seducing wiles ol the tempter !
Many as hopeful as yon have lived to ,
lay their children in the inebriate's
grave, or have themselves went down '
in sorrow to the tomb, without the'
hope ot meeting their loved ones at j
the right hand of the Judge.
Even admitting that the use of in-!
toxicating drinks is lawful, is there
benefit to be derived with the risk of
bringing ruin upon your posterity?
To those engaged in the traffic of
strong drink the risk to themselves
and their children is fearful. Count
up the traders ot the bygonegeneration,
and tell me how many such have sunk
into a drunkard's grave? To be draft
ed lor tho field of battle, and to perish
in tho ranks of war, is a thousand |
times more desirable than to have tho
biuin poisoned, the intellect destroyed, j
the moral senses obliterated, the heart!
divested ot affections, and the whole
soul debased beneath even the beasts I
that perish. Could the trader in strong
drink only follow the course of those
victims, whom, in the way of business,
be has helped on to perdition; could he
too the tears that bedew their paths; !
could he hear the cry of wives and !
children, ruined for time, and neglect 1
iul in regard to eternity; could he feci
tho pangs of remorse in the drunkard's i
soul, which seem as if tho torments of'
perdition were transferred to earth- '
could he lift the veil and lakeoue look
upon the condition of lost souls in ev
er las ting burnings, who have perished
through intcmperanco—would he dare !
to de.ii out, as he does, the destroying
elemet tto his fellow men ? Wo think !
it impossible for a Christian to do so !
Would ho not blush to look the Re
deemer of men in the face, or to seek
an interest in his blood, while decora-!
ting tho shrine, and preparing the
ahar, where so many victims are peri 1
odicaily immolated 1 How dangerous
to be 'partakers in other men's sins.' j
it is unsafe to deal out intoxicating
liquors to any one in tho way of trade
or friendship. We do not insinuate
that such have any idea of increasing
the dark catalogue of drunkards. We
do not suppose for a moment you I
would identify yourself with those,
whom the prophet denounces, saying,
, , u " Lo ilitn that giveth his neigh
bor'drink, thai putteth thebottleto him
and makeh ii m drunken also.' But
such isl the pe version of the ideas of
friendship and generosity, that m-inv
without thinking of the
lay a snare for tho infirmities of their!
fellows. At the time of Festivals how i
many became intoxicated, through the
customs of each one lor whom any
pieco of service is done, or upon whom
a call ot friendship is made? Other
friends do the same thing with the
same motives and feelings. Yet the
result is, that the multiplied acts of
seeming kindness produce intoxica
tion, and occasional tasting cause a
craving for spirits—intemperate use
spirits brings death and eternal destruc
tion. Any one might shudder at the
thought of doing personally what is
effectually done by many; yet each
one taking part in furnishing the temp
tation and tho means by which the
final, fatal catastrophe is reached.
Let it not be forgoten that the Sixth
Commandment requireth all lawful en
deavors to preserve our own life and
the life of others, while it forbids what
soever tendeth to the taking away of
the lite of our neighbor. Does it not
become all Christians to avoid the dan
ger of incurring this guilt? The ous
toms of the seasons are very ensnaring.
Tho habits of society aro such as to
foster intemperance. But the ques
tion, " Who shall be the next victim f"
ought to lead all to the renunciation
of those customs by which victims are
continually furnished. As we know
not what a day or an hour may bring
forth, let us hear tho warning voice of
our Lord, " Take heed to yourselves,
lest at any time your hearts be over
charged with surfeiting and drunken
ness, and cares of this life, and so that
day come upon you unawares." Luke:

Orange Alil/e. —Take two dozen large
ripe oranges. Cut them in two; re
move tho seeds; and squeeze the juice
into a very large and clean stone jar.
Never tiso earthen ware, to hold any
thing acid, as the lead glazing may
produce the most deleterious effects.—
Have ready four pounds of the finest
loaf-sugar, dissolved in a gallon of the
best rum or brandy. Pour it into the
jar that contains the orange juica;"stir
the mixture well, and add the yellow
rind of the oranges, cut into little slips.
Cover the jar, and let it stand four
days; stirring it frequently. Then
take a gallon of new, unskimmed miik,
(the morning's milk of that day,) boil
it, and when it has como to a hard
'boil, pour it, hot, into the mixture.—
Cover it closelj-, and let it stand till it
gets quite cold. Then strain it into
another vessel, through a lincu jelly
bag. Bottle it immediately, and seal
the corks. It improves by keeping,
and will continue good for many years.
To use it, mix a sufficient quantity
in a tumbler, with ieo water; or take
it, undiluted, in a small cordial glass
Orange Syrup. —Take large fine ripe
oranges, with smooth thin rinds, and
roll each orange under your hand upon
the tablo to increase the juice. Set a
very clean sieve upon a large bowl, and
cut the oranges over it; first halving
them, and then notching each half to
lot out as much juice as possible when
squeezing them. Press them with all
your strength in a wooden squeezer,
lotting the juice drain through the
sieve into the bowl. To each pint of
juice allow a pourdand a half (a quart
and a pint) of tho best double-refined
loaf sugar broken up. Put the sugar
into a preserving kettle ; pour the juice
upon it; cover it, and let it stand till
all the sugar is quite soft, and can be
easily mixed with the juice Next set
the kettle over a moderate fire that has
no blaze or smoke, and boil it slowly;
skimming it carefully till the scum
ceases to rise. Then take it off, re
move the syrup from the kettle, and
when it is milk-warm, put it into very
clean bottles, (new ones will be best. N
cork them tightly, and seal tho corks
Keep it in a dry, cool place. It is very
fine for flavoringcakes, puddings,sweet
sauces, &c. Or for mixing with ice
water as a pleasant beverage. Also
for ice-cream or water-ice, when oran
ges are not to be had. Or for mixing
with powdered sugar to make the con
fection called orango-drops. Some
persons, to increase the strength of
orange syrup, add the yellow rind of
the oranges grated on lumps of the su
gar This will do very well if the syr
up is to be used up soon. But by long
keeping, the peel will give it a very
disagreeable taste and odor, resem
bling turpentine; unfitting it for all
purposes.
Vernon syrup may be made as above.
To this the addition of tho yellow rind
of tho lemons grated on sugar will be
an improvement, as lemon rind never
acquires a turpentine tuste.
