The tongue loses its delicacy 6f taste, nd rejects water and. mild simple food ; the itomach grows cold and Io-s its natural vi gour, and man, under the false idea of giving iv:irm;h to his stomach, gains by degrees a pas sion for drinking, which leads him at last to 'ibitoal drunkenness. ; .. , . ,. 8C7" Wine udulterafd with any preparation .of e..u, as bBar ol lead, white lead, 8cc. is poison.

ADDRESS TO CHIDREN. , , jC7" Children, brandy is a bad liquor. A few hundred years no bmndy was not kiiown mov us. About 1000 yrafao, the ciestructrte art of aisiuiins; spintsot wine from wine was found out -and 3C0 yeirs ago, brandy w n Pst i-iljlli if Jtm corn. In the bcginningtrwiis; considered as phy sic. It did not, however, come into general use till the close of the last cenrury, or rrther till with in the last thirty yeara, thut it has become an nni versal beverage, 'to tha great detriment ot man kind. , . Ou' forcfathe'rs in forro'er timcsj'who had no idea ol brandy, were quitte uiflerent jeople from wliat we are they were much more healthy and strong. Brandy, whether drunk by itself, or at nv;ah, cannpt be converted inio . blood, flesh", or bone ; consequently, it cannot give health or strength, nor does it promote digestion it, only makes one unhealthy, stiipidi'lazy, und weakT Ii is, therefore, a downright falsehood, that brandy as a common beverage, is usvfu!, pool, and ne cessary. Our foref. thcrs lived well without it. And s experience teaches us, that even the most reason ible gi$! wny to the baneful custom of onnkme; every day more and more brandy, it is much better, in order to nvoid temptaUo'n, to drink none at all; for, heliev? rhe, children, hnndy deprives all who addict themselve to the immoderate and dtily use of it of ReliUH, rea son, und virtue. It impels us to quit our house and home, to abandon our wives and children, and entails on its wretched votaries, mispry and dis ease, which may descend to the third and fourth Kfneration. -fy: has been observed in H rountrins, in F.ne;lan,l, Scotland, Sweden, North America, and JCrerma 'ny, tnt in proportion to the quarjtiiv of U-undv consumed, wet'-, thr evils which health, strength, reason, vlrtno, industry, prosr;erity, domestic und matrimonial felicity, the education, of children; humanitv and tht hie of man had t f ncoimter.
