The Philosophy of, Drinking
~,,,„ -••
' Drinakenness.
All intoxicating drinks aro ding :rollS
in the proportion in t' Melt„ they icoti
thin alcohol.. The etliet of alcohl-up
on the brain is to dist,trb its acti n at
the very time it is necessary' to itit a'
restraint on the qualty. '!Some !then
cairand do continue t drink mod rate
ly,,lbut othqs cannot! do this . xe the
temperament is of a certain quality, al:
cohol has an effect Which Fenders 'the'
eraVibg of :stimulants nneontrOlable.
And tbr this reasenthe appetite for
drink is unlike any Other appetite. It
differs in degree even! froOthe "appetite
for opium or tObacco.l It is unlike the
appetite for food. A.lman may ave a
strong desire for a pertain kind o' ' food
and may put hinisel ' to Weeny nience
to get ' the dish ' he) u
refers ;; bu -in its
i
absence he is couten ed to taknanother
article to relieve his (hunger. Let , his
appetite for alcOhol IS not only theerav
lng-of the stomach br the pala:e ; in
soinueuses it is DOA er, but is t ti craw
ing of, the nerves for stimulants
,; The
effect of 'alcoholic drinks up in
,the
nerves ' and the brain is thUe use of
their all but universal use. 'Th -"eireet
wanted is not fill /the stoma It or to
give inoisture to the body ; but o carry
'the feeling beyond what "is ntittiral, to
-give sensation like Pleasant dr ants, to
drown , care, to bring forgetf ness of
pain,'and to raise tizefeepug t a high
er elevation. ,
Intoxicating drinks are so called ; be
cause' they 'intoxicate. 'lntoxication is
a state of the nerves'Which • make's , the
.man,feel out of himself—aboveldinself
—beyond himself. - -At first it, gives a
pleasing sensation, a sense of relleilfrom
the cares of life; and to attaini 'his qui
eting, sense—this ecstatic teeth.' r—is the
mdesire of all who drink. ,It y not lie
l,
to themselves alt'ays appar ait, but
nevertheless it is he exactiu motive
to drink. It ; is pr duced by u 'natural
action of, the nerve t , which uses tip . in
a short time . the surplus
,power lying
dormant, a prOViSion for the' healthy
action• of the system. , This action has,
therefore, always a corresponding reach
Lion. For example, if it is supposed
that the nerve power.Was•helifin a, tube
of twenty ' , inches, each inch being
marked` like a theromometer, and the
normal or healthy state was at ten, a
glass of spirits might raise thd. nervous
state to eleven, wil;en the great enjoy
ment sought would be attamed r' or a
short time. The reaction would Cause
the fall to go below ten. It would fall
down trenioo—it Moot do so, as the al
cohol does not impart nerve powe r, nor
does it create it. , it only calls that
calls
which we possess into action ;
' the re
action must - , therefore, alwaYs i .be in ex
act ratio to the action excited.
If taken, therefore, for daily health,
the action must be a daily waste of Pow
er—aially using of the surplus power
provided by a bountiful Providende for
the emergencies of life—and a waste to
be mourned when an accident haPpens
or an epidemic rages in the' neighbor
hood ;
,then the accident will not he so
easily managed Without the reserve
nerve 'power, and the want of it may
also make Ole uses of strong drink the
more susceptible to the poison if the
recuperative Power of nature lias been
used up by daily nerve excitement. If
taken for more than this---fe the en
joyment of intox cation—ho danger
ous !, The man raises himself in the
scale (keeping in mind the tube 20
inches) to 11.--1 t may be he goes higher,
to 16—which may'represent e 'him as the
poet, the orator, or the jovial compan
ion ; or to 17,.which we may suppose to
represent forgetfulness and reckless
drnnkenness.. From this stater ow low
heanust fall ?. During - night ie has
kept himself up ; whenever , he flag
-11
ging - energy took place, anothy , dram
brought it up again,,and his night of
enjoyment has been bought by the
morning's price. Re is now down to
s—to 3—it may be to the bottom of the
tube ; it' so, Clod pity him. Ile is In
that state when the nerve power is ex
hausted, when alcohol ceases to touch
the iprings of volition. - He `wills, but
has no power to command.• He is now
in the agony of delirium tremens.
,Aleehol, be it then observed, causes
increased action without adding the
powerte sustain the system: t the stim
ulated point; tionsequentl9 - reaction
must follow. Tits reaction demands
more stimulant; given, more reaction
follows, to be again suceeded by a strong
er desire for the stimulai t, until a
seeming absolutt necessity Ii r the drink
is created. In 'he niodert to drinker
this feeling is represented by a feeling
of sinking, or diScomfort, w deb. •is of
ten clinical. to Overcome • ut in the
drunkard it exiks as' a d'is ase before
which, all restraints seem powerless,
and he-will do at ything and uffer any
thing rather tint 1 the atigui h spring
ing trout the desire for alcohol which is
now beyond his control, ' .1
At this stage, taste, so faeas 'the pal
ate is concerned, has little ',to do with
MS thirst. It is}the eravingjorAlie man
for more nerve excitement. Re wilt
sacrifice, his all forldeliverance for a few
monteats from the tibsolute depression
Which he feels. '
The man'of .eventemperrunent whom
nothing ruffles, offends or puts about,
may.continuesto drink and, drink mod
erately all his life without seeming
'danger ; but even he, when some Sharp
calamity overtakes him may seek
short-lived forgetfulness in the bottle,
and may in a short time astonish all
his friends by the swiftness of his fall.
Under circumstances to:which all are
liable, the naturally well-bahrneed
mind may-succumb, but this fiery na
tures, the impulsive, the open hearted,
and he_generouS, are as the gun cotton
which ne.ods but' the pressore or the
spark to ' become uncontrollable, and
demand more drink with all the agony
of unstrung nerves. Thesis are they
who become drunkards all at once.—
They stand an astonishment 1- their
friends' and to , themselves. In vain
may you plead with them. Nodiieture
can present to them in greater homers
the agony' which they themselves feel.
What the man 1101 V MUMS is a way 'to
escape ; this the ,Tempertince move
ment OtrA'S to him. The drUnkard may
be punished ,or frightene , with putt
ishment withoutany °fleet; but he toil

Passing along

his best piece and we bid him • good

trying to find his way' to the ,house.

wit and humor. On one occasion he
entreated the oftle,er at Port George to
pardon a poor ibllow that was sent to
the halberts. Thu officer offered to
grant his request if he would in return
grant him the savor ho would ask. Mr.
Morrison agreeded to this, and the offi
cer immediately demanded that the
'ceremony of baptism should be per
formed on a puppy. The clergyman
agreed to it, anti a party of gentlemen
assembled to witness the novel baptism.

Mn. EDITOR : I I ave reason to be
lieve a great many of your readers
would like to know - here they can find
cheap farms. Alany men with limited
means would .like ' "go West" if
they only knew rig , t where to go with
a certainity that the could secure good
homes when they g )t. - there, but they
fear to start off wit! a family. without
knowing *here the are going. Farms
and farming lauds ar , uncommon cheap
here. A man came 1 n here from - Tfoga
County last sunnily' by the name of
Willitun Farr, and bought a farm of 126
acres with two smalf cheap houses on,
fifty-five acres m der improvement
and twenty bushels of wheat sown, for
$4OO. He asks $lOO forit now and it
would be cheap elicit gli at that. Anoth
er man ;botrght eigl ty acres with. a log
house on, 30 acres u tier fence for $lOO.
and the man who st id went to Minne
sota and stayed ab ut a year and then
moved back to this County quite con
tent to stay here. 'tewart Dailey came
on also from Tiogt County, bought a
line well improv d farm with good
buildings, orchard -e., for $l6OO or $l7OO,
