exebange of remtalaeensea of the blltzard
week Just a year age. And when the
weather tople gave out tha discussion
turned upon tbe starting of a Down Town
Tobaeoo club. Whata blessing such a club
would prove In snob dull times aa there !
Our merchants could prolong tbelr luneb
meala by a game et pinecle or sole, or that
meat faseinattng et all games, the great
Amertean game, poker. Time would then
net bang tee heavy en them ; grumbling
would atop and bus house wives would
net be disturbed by a tee early presence at
home et their Idle spouses By all means
let us have sueb a club, If for no ether pur
pose than as a preventive for our merebauta
irem dying of ennuL Tne animated tenor
of theae dlacnsaiens was only broken by a
few transactions of nete: A aala of 400
cases el Wisconsin te en up town manufac
turer, and the shipment of nine ear leads or
Pennsylvania bed leaf te San Franolseo.
There were aeme ether aalaa of Wisconsin
amounting te abent 200 eases, and a bun
dred eases or se et Little Dutch. The '67
Wisconsin is gettlug te be a tuitce artiele
in enr market.
The best baremeter of the market Is the
Havana business. It that Is dull there Is
certainly net mueh te de in any ether leaf,
And the Havana business Is exceedingly
dull. With the exception of a few leta of
old tobaeoor, whleh are new mere than
ever In demand for fine iced and Havana
r.lgsrs, hardly any inoutlenable transac

Tbe ealea In Sumatra amounted te about
300 bales,- Ptnall paicula el which aeld as

pljen must think our market bare

an Inscription already for next Monday, tbe

put up for sale, but they will give at least
an idea nt what te expect et the new crop
Meanwhile, there are 8 000 balea of the old

The market atlll continues In a very dull

the Intelliqenckk, that tbe purpose of
tbe Prohibitionists Is net only unjustifiable
by tbe teachings of tbe Bible, but in dtreet
defiance et the clear lnjunollena et that

The question I lieu arises, Is liquor a
blessing or a curst! It must undoubtedly
be considered lu the Istter place or station;
else why tbe great hue and ery about de

harbor tbe wish or Intention of destroying

1 would bore slate that 1 de nel wlsb te

te upheld the free and Immederate use or
Intoxicating liquor el any kind; net at all ;
net by any re6ans. On the contrary,
without wishing le be egotistical In any
respeet whatever, I would say that my
Individual use et lntoxleatlng liquor of any
kind has ne: amounted te one gill par year
up te the present date, wbleb has recently
oleaed In years the third score; and though
my location has frequently been wbore

such a uat urn, having been blewcd with a
numerous family el eons and daughters,
tbe majority of whleh having arrived at
maturity, the free and Immoderata ute of

In the extreme. Hj that It willboelairved
wltb but a moment's rtilec'len that tbe
writer of tbla has Inducement, aeven, yea,
seventy limes greater, ter having the Irsllle
and use of intoxicating liquor pat down
than be baa for having it sustained. 1
unbcsltatlnKly say that 1 will bull wltb Jey
and tallitaotlen tbe day when tbe dire evil
arising from the Immederate end Impreper
use et lutexlcatlng drink will be baulshed
from our beloved land,
Tbe reason mere particularly ferspeaklng
la that I cannot extend approbation te tbe
measures at present made use of te accem
plish thla great purpose ; but, en the con.
trary, belleve them te be very wrong and
improper.
L-jt us impartially examine the mailer,
taking the Werd et Ged as our instructor ;
It being a clear, correct and Infalllble gulde
In all matters et doubt. Let us come for
ward wltb unprejudiced and unblaaed
mlnda either way, aud learn tbe matter as
it Is unlelded te us In tbe sacred pages et
Hely Wilt.
We will epin that bleassd lioek at
Deuteronomy, H.b chapter ; we will make
use of Ave veraei or that chapter, com
menelng with tbe 22 1
"Tbeu ahalt truly tithe all tbe Increase cf

"And thin s'jalt eat before (he Lord thy

that thou mayest learn te fear the Lord thy

And If tbe way be tee long for tbce.te aa

leg tbe Israelite while In' bondage In tbe
land of Egypt, until hla death, tha Lord's
mouthpiece unto them. He waa authorized
and Instructed te unfold te them tbe sev
ersl duties they were le perform, relative
te themselves, and also their duty te Ged,
relative te His worship."
In the part or passage el Scripture above
alluded te, we find deserlbed tbe course
tbey were te pursue, and tbe artlelea or
substances tbey were te make use el In the
fulfilling of tbe name. Among the artteles
babe made us of In se doing, we notice
that Ged permlta atreng drink.
Mew, wbat are we le underatand by
"strong drink" here alluded teT it evl
dently la something different from wine,
for wlne Is also required In the same In
structions or order. In Ged's enumerating
ever wbat things wero te be used, It could
net with propriety be said that among these
articles mentioned that a number, or even
any et them, oeuld be a curse te man, and
Ged require that curse te be made use
etia His worship?
We find the Hebrew bore toldtetaUa that
money ent el bla pocket or from where be
bad It aeeured away ; te spend It for atreug
drink, for him and bla family te make use
of tbe liquor, and that they were te rejoice
In the using of If.
Uew deea that compare with the Prohi
bition party, wltb the Injunctions of Uie
Weman's Christian Tempsranee Uoleo et
tbe preaent day ? Directly tbe reverse I He
tbatwa aee that both Institutions" are
acting directly oentrary te the word of Ged I
Bat tbe objection may be here made by
aema that Ged did net than knew that
liquor would become ae Injurious and
destructive hereafter. In reply, I would
aay that Ged knew all tblnga from the
beginning, It should be here stated that
Ged's fore-knowledge of all things waa
notes mau'a finding ent," but that He
knew all by one 'Intuitive glance, die die
tlnetlvely, comprehensively and Infallibly,
and lu every circumstance r apeetlng them
as though all had Just passe J before Him.
He bad tbe whole panorama or pro pre
gramme el the world laid out before blm,
se that be knew el all tbe evils that ever
would occur from tbe use or Intoxicating
liquor of any kind; and that, notwlth netwlth
atandlng all this, he required It te be made
use or in bla worship. He that we find that
It was net a curse, but a blessing, for Ged
requires the utmost purity In alt thlnga
oenneoted with hta worship. It was con
sidered by tba Almighty as a blessing, te
be used In moderation, and, If It waa net a
curse then, neither la It a ourae, new, II
made uae or In a proper manner.
I would bere atate tbat te any objections
brought forward, or Inquiries made retative
te the matter under oeasldoratlon, prier le
our having completed our remarka ea the
aame, I will give no attention. But te all
aueh made subsequently, will promptly
willingly and wltn pleasure reply. All
Inquiries made, te be at all time accom
panied wltb tbe real name and address;
otherwise they will reeelve no attention.
