Having in several previous instances pre-
f ‘rsentc‘d . few {figmentar‘y suggestions to your
"readers, and hOped, but in vain, for the ap-
pearance of more brilliant advocates and
defenders, or more able pens than this, the
writer wishes to call further attention to
some great Scriptural truths, and the tracing
out insome degree the harlnony involved
therein; the vindication of the great Creator
touchiag the plan of creation, support, best
3006. accountability of thehumaa race, and
the correction of what seems to be some
Popular, erroneous opinions regarding the
question of Temperance; and if unfounded
and imperfect is open for further correction
from any one. In all our researches and
inquiries after truth, the sovereignty and
, , supremacy of the Almighty should be fully
1-.
conceded and recognized ; that he is self-ex-
istent, omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent;
that he cannot err, cannot change, makes no
mistakes or failures, exists without a shadow
of turning; pure, perfect, upright, holy,
just, infinite, eternal, and in the great plan
of creation and redemption he is the great
Architect and Creator, and as such saw fully
and completely thy end from the beginning,
in all its parts and progress, see Psalms 90:2.
The great harmony of the whole, that by
him all things ‘which exist, were created,
that he still upholds the world and retains it
in its orbit, which in all its magnitude to
us is but a In. re speck in the great universe
of worlds; is the Great Preserver of all things
created, is n It in any sense the author of
evil; and further concede that the Three
Persons of the Trinity are co-existent, equal
in power and honor, possessing all the attri-
butes of God, and that we should place
ourselves in aposition to receive all the leash-
ings and truths of the Scriptures, instead of
some abstract or isolated principle—no part
. to be ignored or set aside as unsafe—and
that there also exists an infinite wisdom,
perfectiOn and'harmoay iii-the plan of salva-
tion, embracing every minute detail, involv-
ing the best good of mankind, whether we
concede it or not, or can in our limited com-
prebenaion and finite wisdom, be able to
measure its extent or fathom its depth. Still
the Great Truths remain the same, under-
lying the whole structure of the universe.
In short nothing can have place in our theo-
'ries'or conclusions which clash or conflict
with the fundamental truths and constitu-
tional principles of the Revealed Word as
set forth and given to us. If so,have we not
reason to suspect we are in error ?,Is it not
an element of success in all great questions,
Ito firstacquaint ourselves with leading prin-
ciples before attempting to execute minute
minor details? In looking at the condensed
account of the creation contained in Genesis
fat, in the light of these truths and principles
we cannot avoid the conviction that alcohol,
so much denounced and defam ,‘must have
been brought into existence among the list of
productions of the third day's creation, re.
ceiving the approval at the 010%. “And
God saw that it was good,” see Genesis, 1, 11
12, -notwithstanding the logical theories of
these modern times to the contrary. If
doubted, whence then its origin; Satan does
not appear upon the' scene till the creation is
complete, the first Sabbath past, and the
man and his wife placed in the garden, and
could have had no hand in its production.
Had not the great .law of nature, of cause
and eflect, already been called into existence
and firmly established? Must it apt be also
conceded that it is beyond the power of man
to create-himself being created? If then
we have reason to believe God the Father is
the AuthOr, then we have equal andabuud-
ant evidence and proof that God the Son, in
the person of Jesus Christ, was cooequal' in
the creation, see John 1st, 1, 2, 3, 10,—1st
Cor. 8:6. Ephe. 3:9. 001. 1:15, 16, 17. Heb.
1:2, 3, 10. We look further: was there any
organic want or appetite implanted within-
the human system represented by Adam as
he came direct and perfect from the . hand of
his Maker—or in his fallen posterity—awhich
could only be supplied by alcoholic stimu-
lants to embitter and degrade all after years?
We read that the wickedness of man was
great, and in the progress of- timc that God
determined to destroy man" from ofi the face
of the earth, by a flo'od, except Noah and his
family. But in all their wickedness we
nowhere read of drunken debaucheries as
among their sins, .
modern generations of the race.’ How is it
the antedeluvians for _a period of about
sixteen hundred years from the creation, did
not discover the need and constitutional
. requirement of nature—if such it be —aud that
f the curse (so-called) was so long in manifest-
ing itself,rcmaining dormant and uneffective?
If, after a trial and test for that period of
years in the history of the race in its wicked
and fallen state, and without special divine
restraint-of which we so lunch r—did
maintain a temperance record, shall we assert
and demonstrate the same is not within the
reach of the generations of the} nineteenth
cont“ ? Is not the time of trial 21f sufficient
lung satisfy any reasonable mind 1’ Does
not théievidence also strongly indicate that
the creator did not implant within man,
even in his present fallen condition, appetites
so great as not to be easily held in subjection
by his own will, or surround him with temp-
tations too strong for his resistance, and is,
in nessnse accountable for the 'misery and
degradation resulting from the use of alco-
hol 2 Are we not then forced .to look else-
where for the mischief? Does it not really
originate in the will and persistent determina-
tioninthe formation of habits contrary to no.
tut-em the influences with which he chooses
to surround himself.and for which he individ-
ually is held accountable, in the rauvan-run
m nxcrssrvn use AND anus: of one of the
aims or GOD ? - If so, the inquiry airses,
where then is the practical and efficient rem-
edy} If, as we have seen, the wants of the
human race in the early ages were fully met,
and-satisfied—proof of their longevity is
also ample—by the provision of the Creator
in'the gifts of water and of milk as bever-
ages, suilicien't in his wisdom; shall we con-
tinue to assert theyare insufficient in these
modern times? Are .they not within easy
reach of silt. Has notevcry temperance man
and woman, at least throughout the land, the
power to banish from their households, one
and all of the minor beverages, and pet
indulgences to which they cling, and
so much cherish, also to avoid the fashion-
able saloons, though perhaps not intoxi-
cating, but all of which, are responsible for
the formation of habits, in those offender
yeArs? -Is,n6t the first‘beginning the im-
portant picketed outposts to bé specially
guarded? Where is the progress, either
forgoodor for evil, without a beginning?‘
Did not Solomon observe, “Train up a
child in the way he should go, and when
he is old he will not depart from it? Prov.
' 22:6. If the battle of the rising generation
is fought on the plains of childhood and
youth, under the guidance‘and protection
of the parental hand, at the domestic
board, is not the conflict in after years of
manhood and mature life.—like Samson
of old—shorn of its strength, and an easy
conquest the result ? Would it not prove
an efiectual “No Lianne: Law"? Will.
it involve agigantic stretch of imagination
to anticipate the fate of the liquor saloons?
Did not Solomon in his day observe that
“where nowood ls-the fire goeth out? Prov.
26:20. Would it _in- the least interfere
with the progress already? Is there any
hindrance to its immediate adoption
or toits lnfixsible adherence, by every
temperance advocate at least, and even
without blaster or expense, but quietly like
the falling snow flakes? "Would not the
Towering Citadel of intemperanceshske to
the foundation? Is it not the corner stone '
of hope, and the foundation of success ? Is
the sacrifice too great? If the remedy is
ignored, passed by in neglect as unimpor-
‘tsnt, or unwillingness to do that which lies "
as characterize the -
fl ..
in our power, will not the cries and pe-
titions Ifor Divine Assistance lusfily merit
the rebuke, as did the Israelites of old on one
occasion of their murmuring, “Wherefore
criest fliou‘ unto me? Speak to the Chili'-
Ieu of Israel that they go forward" Did the
servant in the parable with the one unim-
proved talent, afterward receive live or ten
talents as auinduccmcnt to labor:l Is it
not an established principle of success in
any matter to do first that which comes
inance in the Divine Economy, that the
Almighty will not do that which he has
placed within the reach and power of man
to do for himself? , What says Paul in
Gal.- (iz7, “Be not deceived, God is not
mocked; for whatsoever a man sowcth,
that shall he also reap.” If We by our in.
fluence and example, sow the seeds of in.
dulgencc in the children of the rising gen-
eration in the first formation of habits, and
which in the mature years beyond our
control. crave 'greatcr indulgence and strong-
er beverages; is it but the development of
the seed ,sown‘and the assurance finally of
the bitter harvest? . Are these Suggestions
practical truths, or'are they only idle fan-
cies? Is the temperance reformation really
and practically beyond its infancy ?. Much
might be said on other important points not
introduced; in revealing and tracing their-
connections and their harmony with the
attributes of the Creator; his plans and
principles as unfolded to us in the Scriptures
extending to all that practical bearings, and
minute details of the questionfbut will
leavc'it for the reader to anticipate and par-
sue. . C. P. T.

The Meriden folks are quite sanguine that
the coming U, S. Senator from Connecticut
will hail from their city. They say that Mr-
Platt’s chances are continually improving,and
that he will certainly stand next to Marshall
Jewell on the first ballot, if he does not re-
ceive an equal number of votes. The Meri-
den Rezmblz'can says :—
' ‘It is gratifying to noticewith what uniform
kindness the suggestion of the name of -Hon.
0. H. I’latt as a candidate for United States
senator has been received by the press. Very
many papers have endorsed the suggestion,
and have spoken with enthusiasm in his_favor.
Others, fcttered by locality, have, while ad-
vocating the claims of other candidates, rec-
ognizeder. Platt's fitness and strength, andd
have agreed that the state would be honored
and the party solidified by his election: From
no quarter has one word of adverse criticism
been heard. _We are in receipt of suflicient
information from the people of the state, to
know that the position of the newspapers
only echoes the sentiment of the masses. It
is the general, and still increasing opinion on
all sides, that, under all the circumstances,
Mr. Platt is the man at this time ; that on
him all sections can unite, and be satisfied;
and that his election will put out of sight
forever all. strife and heartburnings. These
facts‘do not surprise those who know Mr.
wPlatt, and we believe that, in view of the
situation as we find it, we are warranted in .
rophesying that the Legislature will .not be
Ring in arriving at the conclusion which the
people of the state have already reached.”
_
Female Freemasons.
ReCently the Observer, after referring, to
the fact that the Hon. Mrs. AllsWorth is sup-
posed to be the only .female Freemason in
the world, divulged the fact that Mrs. B. B.
Babiagton, who was at one time a resident
of this state, was also a member of the an-
cient and honorable order. The Observer’s
article has brought out the Shelby Aurora
to the front, and in its issue of yesterday
the editor, Mr. J. B. 'Babington writes as
follows: “Inasmuch as the lady referred
to in the above article is our mother, we
deem it our duty to publish it and make‘
the necessary corrections. The story is
correct with the exception of places and
ages. The lady's father was a native of
.New York, and moved to Greenup county‘
Ky, where our mother was born and rais-
ed. The place where she was made a
Mason was in an unfinished church room.
She secreted herself under the pulpit, going
in at an entrance from the side, and was
eventually discovered while leaving her
hiding place after the lodge had adjourned.
'She was about fifteen years old when she
was made a Mason, and our father did not
join the order for nearly twenty years after
they were married. We do not belong to
the order,-but we have it from men who
do that she is brighter in Masonary than a
large number of men who have passed to-
the third degree. Our mother is still living
and is now in Boyd county,,Ky.,y a few
miles from whereshe was first initiated
into the mysteries of that ancient order of
Masons.”
Cause of!“ Health and Mortality
In Massachusetts.
"We eat to live, and live to eat." So says
an old proverb. The report of the Massachu-
setts Board of Health on the subject lets a
little daylight into the cause of so much
premature death in this State. Bad diet is
the cause of half the mortality in Massach-
setts. 0a'e-—half of the people of the State
support the other half. Writing from a
farming town, a correspondent“ says: “If
people die of consumption, acquired here, it
is because they sleep in little, close, impure
bedrooms on the ground floor, never bathe,
and eat but little meat,except fried salt pork.
The butcher runs through the town once a
week, and the baker just as often? What
with fried salt pork and heavy browh bread
and poor butter and bad air and closed pores,
it is only a wonder that they live as long as
they do." From shoot and shoe town: “The
same unvarying round of pics, cakes, tough
meat peorly cooked, boiled tea and muddy
coffee, is repeated day by day. Too much
salt fish and meat are used and too little fari-
n ous food, As a general rule the niodes
0 cooking are semi-barbarous. Frying is
universal. 'Soups are almost unknown, except
among the Canadian French. The majority
of families in this town eat pic at every
meal. Doughnuts and ‘turnovers’ fried in
lard are _also in general use for supper or
breakfast” Many families use crackers as a
substitute for bread, buying a barrel. ata
time." The time devoted to meals by one-
half of the population of the state averages
from ten to fifteen minutes. Persons employ.
ed in mills, shoe-shops and other manufac—
turing concerns, “eat on a jump.” These
people filltheir months with great “wads" of
food, swallow them very rapidly, and soon
find their digestive apparatus out of order.
The impaction of food in the oesophagus of
these people must be embarrassing, and still
the people wouderwhy it is that they are
troubled with dyspepsia. The teachings of
professed cooks will never avail the people
of this State. Then there is no inventive
faculty in the preparation of food. Its pre-
paration is regarded as a species of unmiti-
gated drudgery, ”and would not- make life
happy and healthy. Good'flour is spoiled,
nice beef is sacrificed, and the material that
is eaten is despatched with as little delay as
possible. “When bread, the staff of life
in all countries, is found to be as good in
Massachustts as in Europe," it will then be
a sign that the State is advancing in the
refinements of life. The relation of food to
man is well illustrated in the fact that the
finest looking men in the State are the fisher-
men, and the finest children are those of
Scandinavian parents, They are robust.'with
great capacities for endurance. In agricul-
tural communities in the State there is not as
much variety in food as there was half a can.
tury-ago, while the quality is not so good and
the cooking of the name greatly deteriorated.
Gebgraphically considered, Cape Cod and
Cape Ann live upon“ difiercnt food and cat
differently from the people of the mountain
section of the State. The Irish make the
best bread and cat the most vegetables. The
underfcd women of Boston‘ and the large
cities constitute the great nervous class of
the State, who consume more boiled cheap
tea than they do of bread. It is quite evident
that the Massachusetts stomach is badly out

THE NEW YORK SUN FOR 1879.
TEE SUN will be printed every day durin g the
year to come. Its purpose and method will be the
same as in the past: To present all the news in a
readable shape, and to tell the truth though the
heavens fall. , , _
Tun SUN has been. is, and Will continue to be
independent of everybody and everything save
”he Truth and its own convictions of duty. That
s the only policy which an honest newspaper
, need have. That is the policy which has won for
his newspaper the confidence and friendship of a
wider constituency than was ever enjoyed by any
other American journal. ‘ '
THE 8111' is the newspaper of the people. It is
not for the rich man against the poor man, or for
the- poor man against the rich man. but it seeks to
do equal justice to all interests in the community.
It Is not the organ of any person. class.scct. or
party. There need be no mystery about its loves
and hates. It Is for the honest man againsttbe
rogues every time. It is the honest Democrat as
against the dishonest Republican, and for the hon-
est chublican as against the dishonest Demo-
crat. It does not take its one from the utterances
of any politician or political organization. I
gives Its support unreservedly when men or meas-
ures are in agreement with Constitution and with
the principles upon which'this republic was foun-
ded for the people. Whenever the Constitution
and constitutional principles are violatcd— as in
1876, by which a man not elected was placed in the;
President’s ofilcc, where he still remains — it
speaks out for the right. That is THE SIIN‘s Illrll
of independence. In this respect there will be no
change in its programme for 1879 ‘
Tits: SUN has fairly earned the hearty hatred of
rascals, frauds and humbugs of all sorts and sizes.
It no es to deserve that hatred not less in the v car
1819 s an in 1878*”. or any your gone by. 111':
SUN is printcdi the men and women of to-day
whose concern is chiefly with the affairs of to-day.

readers the promptsst. fullest and most accurate
intelligence of whatever in the wide world is

The Domestic Cat.
“This is.a cat. Do you see the beautiful
curve'to his back? If you continue to be a
80:11.1)” you shall some day have a thousand
ca s.’
“Are cats a useful animal ?"
“Yes, very.. If it wasn’t for the eat every
house would be overrun with canary birds."
“Are cats very brave?"
“Yes. They’ll hang round a corner for
four hours to get their claws in a poor little
mouse, not one-fortieth part their size.”
"What food do cats prefer ?"
“A $20 mocking-de is their first choice.
If the family are not able to keeps mocking-
bird the cat must put up with an oriole or a
German canary. It is only when suffering
for feed that a cat will accept of a sirloin
steak.”
“Cats can't sing, can they ?"
“No, but, bless ’eml they keep trying to
learn how! they have got so they can sound
the first four notes on the scale, and they are
determined to get the rest.”
“What time do they sing the sweetest ?"
“Atnight between the hours of 11 p. m.
andd a. in. You have probably read items
about bold, bad men flinging boot-jacks, sticks
of wood and other missiles at singing cats.
Don't ever associate with such people. Cats
have as much right in America as anybody
else, and it is only the meanest kind of folks
who will try to keep ’em from riseing up in
the world."
“How long do cats liev ?”
“Nobody knows. as no‘ cat ever had a fair
show to see how many years he could put in.
After he has hung around one neighborhood
for 15 or 20 years some one murders him in
cold blood."
“’Does the fur (if the cat contain electrici-
ty ? '
“Yes, and it is a great wonder why some
of these scientific men did not make use of
the fact ‘of searching for the clew to the tele-
phone. There isn't much doubt that the day
will yet come when a cat in Detroit, con-
nected by a clothes-line with one in Chicago.
will form a perfect telegraph line. "
“Do cats suck children's breath 2"
“They do. Mothers should let their child-
ren eat unions as preventive. Plug tobacco
will answer the same purpose."

A Hau-Frmsuan WitDDINo.-—The young
people of Cincinnati are excited over a prom-
ised wedding that didn't take place. The
youngmanandyoungwoman had known each
other from childhood. and were prominent in
society circles. The wedding: guests were
assembled, and the loving couple were on the
floor. The minister propounded the usual
question to the bride as to whethershe would
take the man for her husbgand,etc.,when,much
to the surprise of all present, she answered
“No." Thinking be misunderstood her, the
minister Asked the question again, and again
she answered “No." This stopped the cere-
mony, and the story came out. The young
man, addicted to the use of intoxicating
liquors,had promised reform if the lady would
con sent to marry him, and had signed the
pledge. He had been on trial for months,but,
as the bride turned to him as they stood side
by side before the minister, she caught the
odortof whiskey on his breath, and detected
signs of incipient intoxication. She closed the
extraordinary scene by stating that she could
not trust her future to amau who had broken
a promise so solemnly made. Expostulations
and entreaties were all in vein. The wedding
did not take place—Ohms Infer~0¢ean.

ings frbm other parts—as regards air, ef-
fiuvia and sound-by means of twin doors
conjunction with suitable mechanism, that
is, in such a manner that they will clase or
open simultaneously, and without any care
or trouble beyond the ordinary construction.
When such doors are closed, an automatic
arrangement immediately opens a valve and
allows a, free circulation of air to pass at
once—this being effected by, means ofa
suitable channel provided for the purpose,
from the outside of the building between
the doors; or, in the case of efiiuvia and
the like, or germs of disease, being supposed
to be present, the valve is employed for the
admission of fumes, 'vapors or gases of a
disinsccting nature, these being produced in
the chamber in which substances capable
.of evolving such fumes, etc, are placed.
The doors thus. employedare kept at a
suitable distance from each other, and the
valves are inserted in the upright linings
or jambs—an outlet ventilator being placed
in the upper part under the Iintel to create
the requisite current of air.

The Congregational“ says :-‘-The fe-
male members of our churches have other
duties besides going to the ladies’ prayer
meetings, one of which may possibly be to
avoid display "in dress at church. One of
the finest thing; we have for a long time
heard was the- k that a certain lady
saves the congregation where she worships
ten thousand dollars aoyear! A women
of wealth and of high social culture and
position, she yet makes 'it a rule to dress
for church in a manner so plain and inex-
pensive as‘to throw her whole influence
against any undue ,expenditure in that di-
rection, thus helping to make everybody
feel satisfied to attend Sabbath worship with
such, and only such outlay as can fairly
be afforded. Such women are greatly need-
ed iu many congregations, and the good
which they may thus accomplish is beyond
estimate, especially in these times when so
many in every community are obliged to
exercise the closest economy,”
