INTEMPERANCE, POVERTY AND
DEATH are known to have an immediate
relation to each other, and are seldom found
disconnected. We have daily proofs of their
union on small scale, which though alarming

the following facts, stated on the authority OF
the Rev. THOMAS SPENCER, minister OF the
Church of England, now on visit to this
country. Mr.. S. states that the people OF
England, Ireland, and Scotland, pay forty
millions Of dollars annually for Tobacco -
With population of about twenty-seven mil
lions, they pay annually ihirty-fye millions of
dollars in poor rates, two hundred and sixty
millions for the support of government, and
THREE HUNDRED MILLIONS FOR INTOXICATING
DRINKS He states that there were among
the 27,0OO,o00 Of people, SIX HUNDRED THOU

self-government We are old-fashioned enough

from the Bible:


"Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed
lest he fall"
