Fellow Crrrzms - That intemperance, in this part of the country, is a great and growing evil, all are ready to admit - When we look abroad and examine into the state of society, we find the number of those who are in the con stant and habitual practice of an excessive use of ardent spirits, to be alarming. We see the efl'ects that they pro duce among our friends and our neighbours, but the evil is so common, and it is so fashionable to drink, and, I had almost said, to drink to excess, that the sight of it has lost half its terror, and we look upon an intemperate man with out those feelings of disgust and abhorrence which his real situation and character are calculated to produce. This 18 the natural result of things. - The mind becomes familiar with the contemplation, the eye accustomed to the sight; we pay but little attention to the object - he passes ou - we laugh at the exhibition, and grow callous and indifi'erent to the guilt. Our pity is not excited, our hearts do not ache, at the 'scenes of intoxication that are almost daily ex hibited around us. But, if for a moment we seriously te flect upon the i'eal situation of the habitually mtemperate if we call to mind what they have been - what they now are; if we cast our eye to the future, and realize what, in a few years, they will be if we go further, and examine into the state of their families, of their wives and their chil dren, we shall discover a scene of misery and wretched ness, that will not long sufl'er na to remain cold, and indif ferent, and unfeeling.

If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
