ADDRESS
dF'TilE Rev. DAWD E. GARDENER,
Delivered on ttai -1th of July, 1843,t (he
fSahbalh School and Juvenile I:etnper
'ance celebration, in Stroudsbufg.
- ify young Temperance Friends-:
Krise (o encourage you'in the great
iand-inoble enterprise in xvliich you are
now engaged.
I am confident in vp residing to you en
tire success; and anticipating great happi
ness if you do not become weary, but re
irnain nlvvnys zealously elected in this good
vause. However, like espousing every
other truth, you must in this anticipate op
ipo?in'on anb! persecution. The groundof
kII opposition o Temperance and Tem
pfrance societies, arises from two causes,
viz:. Interest and Appetite. The latter,
'though the most prevalent, is the least for
midable. Under the government of this
'firet Tyrant, are to be found, the temper
ate drinker and the unfortunate drutikard,
whoso inlluence diminish with the great
increase of light and information shed up--on-the
public mind by the Temperance
agency.
The second Despot, "Tyrant Iriterefr,"
which is opposed to this good cause, being
surrounded with his allies of professional
dignitaries, cannot be subdued as readily
as Tyrant Appetite." Hi' professional
classes are distinguished as Doctors, Law
yers, and Liquor" Sellers. The first class
contribute to his support because of the
great increase of "heir own emolument, as
Their living is obtained from the pains of
The afflicted, which is produced too fre
quently bv the use of intoxicating drinks.
They find it to theic advantage not to dis
courage, but rather, to encourage its tree
-and intemperate use.. However invidious
1his remark may appear, it isjicvertheless
true. There are, "however, and we are
glad that it is so, a few honorable excep
(ions in this class hut they are as rare as
the white black hird.
Thcl 5 am not mistaken in the origin
and increase of disease by the use of Alco
holic drinks, 1 invite your attention to the
testimony of Doctors Sewal, Rush, and
Bronson :
1. Dr. Sewal, of Washington city, in a
letter from New York, states that of two
hundred and four cases of Cholera, in the
Park Hospital, there were only six tem
perate persons, and those had recovered ;
while one hundred and twenty two of the
others, when he wrote, had died, and that
the facts were similar in all the other hos
pitals.
2. Dr. Rush says, Ardent spirits pre
dispose to every form of acute disease.
They also predispose to them in all cates.
Even the moderate use of them, like a
bold invader, seizes the very vitals of the
constitution.
3. Dr. Bronson, of Albany, who spent
some time in Cauada, and whose profes
sional character and standing give great
weight to bis opinions, says, Intemperance
of any species, but Intemperance in the
use of distilled Liquors, has been a more
productive cause of cholera than any oth
er, and indeed, than all others.
The second class of scientific gentlemen
whose inGuence'is against you, are they
whoee interest is greatly augmented by the
feuds, broils and riots, which have their
existence in the immoderate use of intoxi
cating drinks, but have their termination
in ciunitsal prosecutions in your different
courts. Tim cause you are labouring to
promote, is laying the axe at the root of
the tree, and with one stroke it must cut
otr every vestige of this ill-gotten gam.
Peihap- it is this truth lhaf leads to that
spirit of apathy and indifference which is
manifested by this class of Professional
men towards )ou. I need only to bring
forward one case to substantiate this posi
tion : This was the case of a man who
committed crime while in a state of intox
tcation, but who was advised by his coon
t-el to feign before the court insanity, and
when prevailed upon to speak he should
invariably answer "Spoons." By this
ftiatagern he was discharged, and when
the client returned to the Lawyer's office
he told him he would now take those ten
dollars, to which the client immediately
responded "spoons" but the wise coon
el told him it was not Spoons now, but
ihe money must be forthcoming.
Thus you perceive, my young temper
Hiice friends, it may be spoons to gel drunfo
and spoons to fight, and spoons to be pros-
rv.uted. and snnnns to firnnloV a Lawyer
-J J- - - - 1 J
but it will require Doilar to-settle the ac
count 1
Th:it the origin &b4 commission" of
crime has its existence in intemperance I
refer you In a few authentic accounts,
found in a Temperance text book :
J. In August, 1834, of eight hundred and
ihirty four prisoners in Jhc bmg Sing State-Pi-Ikoh.
M. York, four hundred and eiphtv
- - --13 J
five had been habitual drunkards, and about
one third of the number actually committed
(lirir repectire crimes when intoxicated.
2. Of ix hundred and seventy convicts in
jIik Auburn Siate prison, N. Y. fire hundred
and three were intemperate, and one hundred
and fifty-nine what had been called temper
ate drinkers, leaving but eight out of tho
whole numberwho were total abstiitehls.
3. Judge 'Edwards, in passing sentence
upon Catherine 'Cashiere, convicted of the
murder of Susan Anthony, in the city of New
York, said that it is undeniably true, that a
very large proportion of tho crimes that are
committed, are traceable, either directly or in
directly to tho influence of spirituoUsMiquors ;
and I will here add that the poverty and
wretchedness which prevails in society, are to
be ascribed more to tins than all other cause's
united.
The influence of the third class called
Liquor Sellers, is to bo overcome by your illus
trious example and precept. Our Fathers did
not see in their great struggle with moral evil,
as we are blest to ee, or victory would have
been ours long before this. The Divine pre
cept they neglected altogether in this respect
that parents should 'lay up for their children
and 4iot the children for the parents. The
only effectual way to stop this current of moral
evil, is to dry up the fountain. This is fully
anticipated, my young friends, in your temper
ance organization : gijd on the whole armour
---equip yourself for the war and in the name
of the God of Battles, go forth to certain vic
tory ! While ihis ihree-fold combined influ
ence is against you, and will be presented by
the enemies ol Temperance to discourage,
still let yeur motto be Onward ! For remem
ber thai those thai are for you, are more and
stronger than they that are against you. You
are sustained hy a mighty host whose very ap
pearance -is clear as the sun, fair as the moon,
and terrible as an army with banrjers. You
have, for your encouragement the well discip
lined company of Volunteers, known as VVash
ingtonians or Reformed Drunkards. These
strike terror into tho ranks of the Liquor Sel
ler. In the next place you are surrounded
with innumerable Temperance Societies ;
whose very appearance make the hearts of
your enemies weak and faint. Next to these,
you have the Cavalry if the intelligent Edi
tors and Printers will allow mo the comparison
1 mean, my young temperance friends, the
influence of the Press. With the aid of this
tremendous power, your success is certain.
But in addition to all this, you have the support
of the Church her prayers and alms are offer
ed daily before God in your behalf.
You have also the influence of the ministry,
who under God, are mighty to the pulling down
of this strong hold of sin and the Devil. You
have still greater encouragement ; for Angels,
those shining ones from Heaven, are sent to
guard your interest in this great cause !
But lastly, my young temperance friends-,
you have the approbation of Almighty God
for while his word declares that " no drunkard
shall enter ihe kingdom of'God," yet for your
encouragement it is said, that " ihey which
give a cup of cold water to the needy and
perishing, shall not lose their reward."
Iron Bedsteads.
One of oitr last English papers says, "iron
is daily becoming an article of more common
use, and we are glad to see that lately it has
been adapted 10 a purposa which will tend
much to the comfort and cleanliness of all, but
especially in the humbler classes of society.
We allude to the new patent iron bedstead,
which cannot fail soon almost entirely to su
persede the wooden ones now commonly in
use. The great advantage of iron over wood
is, that it does not harbor vermin, and in con
sequence of this excellent quality, many land
lords are now in treaty with ihe patentees and
their agents to have their collages furnished
with bedsieads as fixtures, in order that vermin
may be prevented from accumulating in their
houses. When it is borne in mind that articles,
suitable for cottages, may be had for about 30s.,
we should think that landlords would most
gladly follow the plan already adopted by
some, in order that their property may be kept
in a state fit for the accommodation of respec
table and cleanly, though humble- people' .
The brave litlle Brother-.
The Montreal Transcript relates a
Dleasinsr instance of courage and at-
fectionale devotion in a child. Some
children were Dlavinor in the St. An-
J. o t
toine suburb, when one of the boys
missed his little sister, and thinking
she had hid herself behind the wood
work that supported the windlass for
drawing water, proceeded to look
there, when he heard her voice' from
the bottom of the well. He called
his companions, when they distinctly
heard her cry out, "I shall be drown--ed
-on which the brother seized the
chain, and without hesitation jumped
in io her rescue. He of course went
doWn what the- sailors call "bv the
-
run? but he succeeded in getting the
little p-irl to lav hold bv the iron swiv-

bottom- The brother was let down
after her,- when he bade her get infer
the bucket', and this done, they were
both raised. The little girl was un
hurt, except in hey hands; but she
made bittsr lamentations after one of
her shoes, which she had lost m the
water. The well is 20 feel deep-
