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 PruovicALJOKE.—Daring the late

General Johnston, lay encamped near
Dalton, the following rich scene occur
red : There was a very popular dealer
in newspapers there, a perfect Bobdig•
nab in size, reveling Daniel Lambert in
rotundity of stomach. 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."

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.
