Eating and . Dinners.
In the Herald of Health Rai. Mr.
Frothingham has an article entitled "Eat
ing and Drinking Damnation," from
which we make a few extracts:
•
If the statistics of gluttonY had been
as carefully looked up as the statistics of
drunkenness have been, their would, no
doubt, be a fearful tale to tell on that side.
The-evils of excessive and unregulated
drinking, though appearing in different
form, they make less—impression on so
ciety. An enormous burden of
debt is • pressing upon our people,
relief from which would give an
impulse to every working faculty,
and every industrial interest; and a sum
of money, equal to three-fifths of the
1
whole of it, is annually spent by tb peo
ple in a way that cripples those fac ties.
aiminisbes the working power in the in.
mutiny, and aggravates every depre sing
and disabling influence. In the m nu
facture of the stimulants thus consn ed,
there are used grA,OO,OOO wo -of
grains. all brimful of divine bent 'ty,
rich with material for happiness, teething
with future comfort, increase and nobili
ty, big with the coming civilization, of
mankind. So much -nourishing' force of
blood made a cause of corruption in the
bloodl Is not that drinking damnation?
To the value of food products, add the la
bor that is withdrawn from useful Chan
nels, and practically wasted in the manu
facture of this desolating power, and we
have $2,250,000,000 per year, a sum suffi
cient to pay the whole interest bearing por-
I don of the public debt. Is not that drink
ing damnation? Consider that this im
mense consumption is a consumption not
of values only, but of that which creates
values, ofmuscle, tissue, nerve andbrain;
consider that these drinking habits tend
steadily, invariably, inevitably to blunt
Sensibility, deaden conscience, paralyze
affection and will, that they mean w.iste
of time, effort, and opportunity, carte
exprcis too strongly - the conviction iliat
something very like damnation results
from them? The dinner table is in the
way of reform. It is wound about with
such meshes of ceremony and etiquette,
it is so asscfated with manners, there
goes along w h it such a mass of opinion
on all subjeo :4 affecting society, it is the
rendezvous for so much conventionality
of mind and feeling, that to break away
from it is a task the strongest shrink'
from, and to remember that the soul sits
down at it, requires an effort of imagina
tion too severe for ordinary men and
women to make; but if it could
be made, such weight would be
added to the self-respect of the
he.,or classes and the word—the better
cl4.vcs would be inspired with such ear
nestness, the worst would be shamed
into sue'i moderation; the better classes
would become so alive to their duties;
the worst would become so alive to their
interests; such an amount of right mind
edness and sound heartedness would be
generated, that a kind of salvation would
begin to dawn, on the spot—the salvation
of personal health and wealth, domestic
peace, parental nurture, filial education,
of social quietude and peace.honest deal
ing, pure speech, gentle manners, and
that reign of law which promises abetter
age. The depressing thought is, that our
unconscious habits undermine our hu
manity. The .stimulating thought is,
that by a change in these habits, we
might effect a radical change in the social
constitution.
The bearing of these daily habits on
social ethics is very wide. They all go
together. Eating and drinking work in
company with dress, and find in dress a
valuable auxiliary. . The social aspects of
costume, the spiritual, bearings of appa
rel, present material sufficient alone for a
long treatise. It is no light considera
tion, that of clothing, seeing that on ;it
depends the •freedom, of our breathing,
the.erirmiess of our bearing, the liberty,
•of ,our physical action, and through them
the,comfort of our minds, the evenness
of our tempers, the character of the soci
ety we cultivate, and the cost of the in
terests wepursue. We imagine that the
world is kept back by some nameless, in
visible'intangible monster of depravity,
who has his seat In regions above our
will t and can'De dethroned by '.nothing
less potent than the special` grace of God.
It is not so. The world is kept back by cooks
and bar-tenders, by ta and boot/oaken.
The reformers must ever face an army Of
milliners. • The most formidable enemy
the anti-slavery cause had to confront
was the gentility that could not wear
tweed or calico, or associate with those
that did. Pine' hate stopped the win
dows that might have let in light. Con
fidence waited on cloth. Patent leather
antidelicate kid suppressed conviction.
The conventions brought together every
kind of men but the well-dreased men,
The dress was a livery that could not be
disguised. The man might be willingto
go, but the broadcloth was backward, and
the broadcloth was the person. To over
'-come the consciousness of apparel
I was to overcome' tne consciousness
belonging tOylk particular class in society.
Could ,peoplff have been put into blouses
and felt i lusts, , we should have seen.them
marching -off in troops to the rendezvous
of radicalism. The political• party which

of gentlemen,„ is certain if election day
