MARIETTA, PA., SATURDAY, JULY 27, 1867. For The Mariettian startling Facts. Mr. Editor :—Who can read the fol lowing alarming statistics, without shud dering—without feeling a stronger de termination than err to help in putting down the sin of drunkenness? Rumseller I Rumseller I I call upon you in the name of the countless thous ands now dragging out a miserable existence from the effects of strong drink, to stop and think before you sell. or drink another glass of this abominable stuff. Parents, I beseech you not to put the intoxicating cup to your chil dren's mouths. Read the following thrilling narrative of the downfall of an estimable young man, caused by a glass CLICLECE Among the closest and most intimate friends of my early youth there was a young man, whom I will call, for present purposes, Thomas Lovejoy. Both of his parents died while he was very young, and left him under the guardianship of his uncle, a man of means and very easy habits of life. Thomas gained a very good common school education, and, as he bad con siderable natural talent, and not a little ndependence of spirit, he became, very early in life, to do for himself. So staid were his habits and so' correct his gener- al deportment, so careful was he of the interests of his employers, that he rose very rapidly, and before he was well oat of his teens, he Was put in charge of the books of the house in which he had la. bored so faithfully. At this time our aquaintanceehip was formed. Although not identified with any church organization, he was strictly moral in hie habits. Ido not know o a single vice of which he was gailty. So correct were hie pripciples and so pre cise hie conduct; that he formed very ew friendships. Young people shunned him, because he was not "fast" enough ; he was too old fogyish to suit them. I remember that he was a radicalist, so called, upon the. Temperance question —a thorough teetotaler. One could not more easily or deeply offend him than, to invite him to take a glass of liquor. A New Year day came, upon which, with two or three friends, Thomas went calling ; more, really, to please his com panions than for his own enjoyment or pleasure. The first one upon whom he called was his aunt ; a very amiable lady, and a member of Dr. A.'s church. Here he was not a little surprised to find liquors upon the table; and, after a very short stay, he was about to withdraw, when bis aunt urged him to take a "little something" before he went. At first he stoutly refused ; but upon being pressed to take just a small glass of wine with her, as it was her birthday, and not wishing to be uncomplimentary, he yielded, and drank his first, and, as he then resolved, his last glass of wine. Alas it was not so to be I He was carried home that night drunk. From that day he was another man. His morals were loose, his company less select, and not 'infrequently was he to be seen staggering home in an intos- icated condition. Delirium, tremens finally Bet in, and he was placed in the Oity Hospital for medical treatment. This hard experience was not calcula ted to reform him. So confirmed was the habit, that a second, and a third, and finally, a fourth attack of the deliri um came upon him. Previous to his last attack be became quite straitened in his circumstaucee, and, having no means in hand with which to gratify his strong passion for drink, he became a thief. He robbed his employer's safe of 801110 $5OO, and then, in one of the dens of the Five Points, he lay for nearly two weeks, all the While drinking by the bottleful the poison that was so surely working his ruin. The Sabbath after his conveyance to the Hospital I received word that he was dead. I hastened with a sad heart to see him, scarcely able to realize the fact of hie death. I never shall forget my feel ings as I looked upon hie face. Can it be, I said, that this horribly bloated figure is the remains of my friend ? Is this the end of one for whom I had in dulged such fond hopes? Alas 1 it was too true I He had found a drunkard's grave. Reader, candidly what think you ? Upon whom rested the responsibility of the ruin of my friend ? At whose door ties ,the guilt of plunging his - soul down deep into hell ? Alas that the example of a Christian woman should have led such an one down to an untimely and disgraceful end. My friend, are you a moderate drink er ? Let me be a little plainer—a tip pler ? If you are, beware 1 The eyes of many are upon you. Your example is quoted extensively as an excuse or _license for others, and it were better for you that -you had never been born than that your example should lead an immortal soul to present an immortal ruin I GL AL C.

A regiment was there about to leave for Mobile, and our massive friend had business to transact with the Colonel. So, puffing and blow ing, be came np a few minutes before the train started. As he came up a soldier spied .him, and hallowed out: "Boys, here he is." Instantly the whole regiment was on the alert, and shout after' shout went tip—''Here he is, here he is I" Looking, dumbfounded, the fat man said: '" What's up gentlemen ? What have I done?" "You're the very man that stole our big drum and,swal lowed it"—went up simultaneously.— Struck with surprise he did not know whether to laugh_or get mad, but finally said : "Well, boys, if you'll stay till evening I'll eat you." A YEAR'S WORK OF RIIMSELLING. Carefully compiled statistics show that 60,000 lives are annually deatroyed by intemperance in the United States. 100 - 000 men and women are yearly sent to`prison in consequence of strong drink 20,000 children &miserly sent to the poor house for the same reason. 300 murders are another of the yearly fruits of intemperance 400 saicidee follow these fearful cata logues _of miseries. 200,000 orphans are bequeathed , each year to private and public charity. $200,000,000 are yearly expended to produce this shocking amount of crime and misery, and as much more Idat froln thd same cause; The oldest piece of furniture is the multiplication table. It was construct ed mors...,thten,two thousand years ago, and is pet as good as new. The Exact Witness. A man was sued by a livery-stable keeper for the price of a horse which died shortly after its return. The de fence contended that the animal died of disease and not from being overheated. and that a sufficient time had been allowed to travel that distance with ease. Then it became necessary to show the jury the time of starting and the time of arrival. Many citizens were brought forward and among them a tall, bony, slabsided: lanky sleepy-looking fellow who officiated, as ;hostler it the stable. Here is the substance of the examination-- "What time did you say it was when the horses were driven to the stable?" "Just as I was going to dinner." "What, time was it when you went to dinner the day before—by the clock?" "4nrit twelve." "To a minute, sir ?" "Yes sir." "And what time did yon go to dinner yeeterday--by the clock ?" "Just twelve." "To a minute?" "Yee sir." • "What time did you go to dinner the day before that—by the clock V' "At twelve." "To a paiante, sir?" "Yes sir." "And what time did you go to dinner a week previous—by the clock 2" At twelve." To a minute, eir 7" "Yea eir.7 "Now, sir, will you be good enough to tell the jnry what time you went to dinner three months before the hot date—by the clock ?" "At twelve." "To a minute, sir 2" "Yes sir." "That is all, sir," replied the counsel, with a gleam of-satisfaction on his face and a glance at the jury, as much as to say, "That man has settled his testi mony." And so we all thought till, just as he was leaving the stand, he turned to his questioner and with a curious, comical expression on his face, and drawled out: "That 'ere clock was out o' kilter, and has stopped at,twelve for the last six months." There was a gen eral roar in the gallery where I sat. Mr. Clark sat down, and I noticed that the Judge had to use his handkerchief aet then. MUSTARD PLASTERS.—Take the finest flour of mustard, the home-ground is generally so coarse as to be worth little or nothing, a sufficient , quantity. Add sufficient tepid water to form a moder ately thin paste. Spread it on a thick piece of muslin, and put over it' a thin piece previously wetted in tepid water. Now apply it to the desired surface, having the thick dry muslin outside. If the mustard is of good quality, a brisk redness will be obtained in ten to thirty minutes, and the object for which it was prescribed will thus be accomplished. The adimixture of flour or meal is im proper. Vinegar is not so good as wa ter to wet it. WORTH KNOWING.-A poison of any conceivable description and degree of potencf, which has been sWillowed in tionally or by accident, may be tendered speedily harmless by swallowing two gills of sweet oil. An individual with a strong constitution should lake twice the quantity. This oil will neutralize every form of vegetable or mineral poi son with which physicians and chemists are acquainted. PREPARATION FOR. THE TEETH;-.DlE solve two ounces of borax in three pints of writer; before quite cold, add one teaspoonful of spirits of camphor; bottle the mixture for use. One wine-glass of the solution added to half a pint of te pid water, is sufficient•for each applica tion: This solution, applied daily, .pre serves and beautifies the teeth,extirpates tartarous adhesioii; produces a pearl-like whiteness, arrests' decay, and induces a healthy action in the.gunis. To SHARPEN RAZORB.—The simplest way of sharpening razors or other edge-tools is to place the blade for half an hoar in water containing one-twenti. eth of its weight of sulphuric or muriatie acid. Upon taking the razor out, wipe it oil' lightly on a piece of soft nig, and in a -few hours nfterwards "set" it ha a . strop. The acid' supplies, the place'of whetstone, by ettirnding the entire sur face uniforaly, so that nothing but a good polish is afterwards needed. This process never injures.good razom while poor ones are often improy9d by it. VOL. XIII.-NO. 51. Stuff for Smiles. An editor, in drawing attention to an article against ardent spirits in one of the inner pages of his paper, says : "For the effect of intemperance, see our inside. An Irish recruit was asked by his officer, "What's your height ?" to which Pat replied, "The man that measured, told me it was five foot ten, or ten foot. five ; I am not exactly sore which—but Domes one or the other." "There, John, that's twice you've come home and forgotten the lard." "La, mother, it was so greasy it slipped my mind. In the garden of a certain nobleman's country house there happened to be fixed up at different spots, painted boards with this request : "Please do not pick the flowers without leave.' , Some wag got a paint brush and added s to the last word. What is that word in the English language of one sylable, which,"if two letters by taken - from it, becomes a word of two sylables ? Pi-ague. A gentlemen having presented hie church with the "Ten Commandments,'. it was wittily said that he gave them away because be could not keep them. "What brought you to prison, my col ored friend ?" "Two constables, sah." "Yes, but I mean, had intemperance anything to do with it 7" "Yes, ash, day was bole of 'em drunk." Somebody who writes more truthfully than poetically, says : "An angel with out money is not thought so much of now-a-days as a devil with a bale of greenbacks." Why is a man ascending Vesuvius like an Irishman trying to kiss a pretty girl? Because he wants to get at the crater's mouth. What medicine does a foolish man take for a scalding wife? He takes an elizer. (He takes and he licks her.) AllUshman says he sees no earthly reason why women should not be allow ed to'bucome medical men. One of the editors of a New Orleans paper, soon after beginning to learn the printing business, went to court a preach er's daughter. The next time he at tended meeting he was taken down at hearing the minister announce as his text : "My daughter is greviously tor mented with a 'devil." "What do you mean by bringing me these bones 7 I ordered mutton chops." "Well, sah, in die establishment a mut- ton chop is de bone ob de sheep from which all de meat has been chopped off." A young gentleman named Harry Turn, recently married his cousin of the same name. When interrogated as to why he did so, he replied that it had always been a maxim of his that "one good turn deserves another," and he had acted accordingly. "Why don't you wheel that barrow Of coals, Ned ?" said a learned miner to one of his eons. '•lt's not a very hard job, there,is an inclined plane to relieve you." "Ab," replied Ned, who had more relish for wit than work, "the plane may be inclined, but hang me if Lam." A dandy, strutting about a tavern, took a pair of green spectacles which lay on the table, put them on his nose, and turning to the look-glass, said : "Landlord, how do these become me Y Don't you think they improve my looker "I think they do," replied the landlord, "they hide a part of your face." Patrick, when he applied for a license to sell ardent spirits, being questioned as to his moiul fitness for the trust re plied : "Ah, sure it's not much of a character that a man needs to sell rum." Biddy used to live out at service. A former'employer met her the other day, and said, "Well, Biddy, where do you live now ?" "Blaze, ma'am," said Bid, "I. jist don't live nowheres now, ma'am ; I'm married, ma'am." A western editor has placed over his marriages a cat representing a large trap, sprung, with this motto—" The trap down—another ninny hammer caught 1" Patrick, in writing his autobiography, says : "I ran away from my father at an early period of my life because I discov ered that he was only my uncle.
