WASIIINGTON. It has fallen to our lot, within, the Adet week, to notice 'some remarkable instances of the blessed effects of die •Total Absti nence system,•upun individuals who were knewn•id this community, not more than a year ago, as wretched outcasts in society, habitual drunkards, and miserable •inlnate§ of our city prisons. . •; . '- . • . ' 'l'o one of these instances we cannot help adverting and calling the attention of those persons.more especially (if such there be it our community) who still doubt the efficacy and reforming ,qualities of the To tal' Abstinence system. What we are about to relate came within - our official notice; and we honestly confess that it has made a yery.deep impression on our minds in fa vor of the Temperance cause. ', _ oi - e Morning, in the early part - of last week, a police magistrate in one' of the largest and most populous wards ofthis city, was visited at his private dwelling by a police constable •and another person, who, said they had called for the purpose of pro curing the release of a man who had been ri 'coMinitted es , a vagrant and disorderly per son a few nights previously." The . perso accompanying - the officer, remarked to t lre Magistrate - that the poor fellow in confine ment had seen his error and 'acknowledged i„ and , was now fully resolved to leave off drinking intoxicating liquors, which had brought hiininto. his present difficulty, and which, - irt time past, had caused . him so . miich s'errow,lnisery, and shame,, ,On the! magistrate intimating to the person thus, pleading for the prisoner, that security . would be required for • his good behavior, and that some costs had already accrued,' the rkind-hearted fellow • declared that, al though he was a poor man himself, he was able and•Wonld willingly become the secu rity and pay all the costs, for he had full confidence, in the prisoner's assurance of amendment, inasmuch as he had proinised to take the pledge of Total Abstinence, and was anxious to join the society of those who had abjured the use of all intoxicating drinks. "Do you think;" said the magis trate, "the prisoner will abide by his pledge after he has,tsken it?" "I - do, sir,"' said the inan„emplistically ; " and I am.deter mined to release him and stand by-him-tin \l til he becomes a otally changed man. I feel •confidept that will not. deceiye me ;' ' and, if he does, why then I shall have the satisfaction of knowing and feeling -that I have done my best to reclaim from beastily intoxication one who is 'a good workman and a-good felloW whenever he is d sober and in•his right' senses." ,Struck with Si lent admiration at the speaker's friendship, Christian philanthropy,-,and noble leenti- . -mentsohe-magistrate-paosed-foriilew mo ments, and,then said he would accompany the generous man to the. prison, and there make 'outthe.prisoner's release. • • .'
