Drunkenness.., Lord Chief
Justice Hale, nearly two cen
turies ago remarked: fThe
places of judication, which I
have long held in this king
dom, (England,) have given
me an opportunity to observe
the original cause of most of
the enormities that have been
committed for the space of
nearly twenty years; and by
a due observation, I have
found that if the murders
and manslaughters, the bur
glaries and robberies, the
riots and tumults, the adul
teries, fornications, rapes,
and other enormities that
have happened in that time,
were divided into five parts,
four of them have been the
issues and product of exces
sive drinking, or of tavern
and alehouse meeting."
Judge Rush, in a charge to a
Pennsylvania grand jury,
nearly echoes this: "I de
clare in this public manner,
and with a most solemn re
gard to truth, that I do not
recollect an instance, since
my being concerned in the
administration of justice, of
a single person being put
upon his trial for manslaugh
ter, which did not originate
in drunkenness; and but fevr
instances of trials for mur
der, where the crime did not
spring from the samp un
happy cause."

Steam. The almost incredible fact
has been stated that an increase of pro
ductive power through the aid of steam
and improved mechanism with other
scientific appliances, during the last 40
years, is equal to an additional supply
of six hundred millions of men.
(jyThe number of ministers in the
Presbytarian Church, according to the
- j j
speaking of the times, stated
that his wife had lately ex
pended fifty dollars for a
habit. His friend replied,
here in the country, we
don't allow our wives to get
into such habits."
A gentleman asked ano
ther how his friend, who was
involved in debt, came to
drown himself: "Because,
he cculd not keep his head
above water," wasthe reply.
