(For The Examiner. ) The Old Homestead.
REV. H. K. BURR, M. A., PH. D. How much I love this cherished spot, The home to me so dear ; It matters not where’er iny lot, I will this place revere. The groves and hills look green and gray, The flow’rs still blooming wild ; And everything looks bright to-day, The same as when a child.
O, happy home! 0, blissful place ! How soon the years have flown ; Half wondering in Fate's embrace, I catch the endearing tone. I try to press the friendly hand Of those I loved so well, And join once more the jolly band— Those strange quaint freaks to tell.
I step into the well-known room, And find no parent there ; Their absence casts a shade of gloom, But then they’re free from care. 1 pause to hear the merry feet Come leaping through the hall ; And think my mother’s smile to meet, And listen to her call.
But silence, deathlike silence reigns, And sorrow chills my heart ; The blood grows sluggish in my veins, And tears of anguish start. There gleams the moss-grown fountain bright And flowers just as gay, As when on boyhood’s mountain height, I passed my youth away.
The aged friends that gathered there No more on Time’s rough shore ;
And loving forms in youth so fair Will gather there no more.
I sadly quit the dear old place With slow and measured tread,
As when we kiss a marble face, Then leave it with the dead.
Farewell now to the dear old dome, The archway and the door ;
I'll ne'er forget, where’er I roam, The loving friends of yore.
Farewell’! farewell to the dear old home! The gateway and the well;
My thoughts ascend to Heav'n’s high dome, Where I some day shall dwell.
The Place of Alcohol and Some Recent Utterances as to If.
Is is seldom, nowadays, that we have any new investigation as to alcohol. No sub- ject has more elicted the attention of those who must rank as able investigators. In the domain of medicine especially the methods of physiological and pathological research as applied to therapuetics in general has been fully applied to this article. Beside no one medicine has been subjected to more careful observations of clinical experience. While the result has not been to settle the question as to the breadth of its application it certainly has been to retain it as an article of materia medicia but greatly to re- strict it in the extent of its application. The testimonies of Sir James Clarke as well as of hundreds of others might be adduced in this direction.
There has recently been a congress of German physicians held at Wiesbaden, re- inforced by investigators and special practi- tioners from all parts of the empire. A re- cent notice thereof, in the London Lancet, says that the feature of the congress was the paper by Dr. Binz, of Bonn, and the debate that ensued on alcohol as a remedial agent.
It will be remembered that Binz is the most recent authority and most frequently quoted as contending for the value of alcho- hol as a food. It is refreshing to hear from his own lips a precise expression of his views on this subject. It is not to be con- cealed, that he clings with great tenacity to his view of the medicinal value of alcohol, in which, no doubt, most physicians in vary- ing degress are in accord with him. But physicians are not the class by whom he is chiefly quoted, but rather by those who be- lieve in wine for dinner, in an occasional dram when you feel like it, and in beer very frequently.
We therefore give the following extract and cal] special attention to his use of the the word “‘ sick-bed as denoting the kind of invalids that may need it :
‘‘ Dr. Binz set himself to prove (I) that aJco- hol has a value, not represented by any other agent, in heart failure and lung disease ; (2) that it is a Sparmittel (economic factor) in the organism, because it is consumed therein; and (3) that it operates as a controller of pyrexia and fever. On the sick bed its virtues are in- valuable; but in the healthy subject it is diffi- cult to define where its abuse is not felt. For the man in good health needs no stimulation, no artificial economizer of energy, or replacer of albumen, no depressant of temperament. All that can be proved in favor of alcohol in such acase is its power of renewing cerebral energy when lowered by mental work. Even
use in medical prescriptions. Dr. J. J. Ridge, of Enfield, near London, has recent- ly collected similar testimonials.
A recent eminent authority speaks thus :
“The medical man that does not see that alcohu! is a very two-edged tool must be igno- rant of the literature of his profession and destitute of the lowest powers of observation. He must also be uninformed of the best prac- tice of the leading physicians of his time, which we may without immodesty suppose to be a better time than any anterior period. When men like Dr. Hughes Bennett have treated 150 cases of pneumonia with scarcely any mortality and a very small amount of alcohol ; when men like Dr. Gardiner tell us that fever, especialiy in the young, does better without alcohol; when men like Dr. Wilks tell us that in bronchitis he has repeatedly séen improvement where a stimulant has been left off, and that he is convinced that the mis- chief done by stimulants in heart disease is immense. (Zhe Lancet, Vol. 1. 1867 ; p. 406) —those are without excuse who think its in- discriminate prescription in undefined ‘and large quantities a light matter. One other great improvement in our estimate of the uses of alcohol is to view it in regard to the state ot the glands and blood-vessels of the patient. If these are blocked, and if the powers of elimination is impaired, it can be easily under- stood that in more advanced age, when alcohol is thought to be more admissible or even necessary, it must be given with much judg- et as to form and dose if harm is not to be one.
While we fully maintain the inestimable value of fermented liquors in certain cases of disturbed circulation, of impairment of lung tissue and in fevers, and perhaps in a few other cases, we must strictly hold to the distinction between medicine and bev- erage, and not allow the physiological chemist or physician to be quoted as au- thority in a direction against which he fully protests.
The Moderator of the “ Kirk ” Gen- eral Assembly .on Church At-
tendance.
Dr. Gray, the Moderator of the General As- sembly of the Scottish Established Church, in his closing address gave utterance to some plain and much-needed remarks, as applicable to this side of the Atlantic as to the other. Onthe matter of church attendance, for in- stance, and of the ‘increasing numbers who never enter a place of worship, he said that:— ‘* While much of this state of matters was due to poverty in its various forms, still, dis-
guise as we may, the plain truth is that a very great deal of the lapsing ,is due to church- goers themselves. We have. so acted that many do not believe in church-going. They do not see any good it does. Christianity is preached in the church, but it is not practiced in the world. It is heard in singing and pray-
ing on Sabbath, but it is not seen in daily life. Chureh-goers do not seem to become better men and women by their church-going. Some who are most regular and prominent as Sab- bath worshippers seem to look on the primary virtues of Christianity, not as truth and jus- tice, chastity and Temperance, honesty and love, hatred of evil and love of goodness; but rather as church-going and church-giving; and all that their devotions seem to do for them is to make them self-righteous and self-com- placent, more narrow-minded and uncharitable than those around them. Whatis needed therefore is that Christianity, on the part of church-goers should be made audible and vis- ible during the week as wellas on the Sab- bath day. Dr. Gray went on to trace the ori-
gin of the growing indifference to the services ot the Church, and gave as reasons the rest- less spirit of innovation which is a character- istic of the age, the freedom of thought and ex- pression which prevails, and the havoc which literary and historical criticisms have wrought in regard to the contents of books, including the Bible.”
ene Love and Business Mixed.
A judgment was rendered in the Supreme Court, Montreal, a few days ago, which cannot possibly fail to be of interest to the young men and women of Canada. It ap- pears that a gallant young French-Canadian named Jean Baptiste Desmarais, of Berth- ier, had been paying attention to Miss Marie Louise Maillet, of the same parish, and, in fact, the love-making went along so well that in due time the young couple be- came engaged, and the two were to be made one in a Very short time, so went the allegation. In the meantime Desmarais, who, it appears, was of a practical turn of mind, invested quite heavily in presents, which were in due time transferred to his fair fiancee. It must be understood that these precious gifts did not consist of bon bons, finely carved work-boxes, silver- lated bracelets, or anything of a similar character. By no means, as Jean Baptiste had his eyes open to future necessities, and had made his supposed future wife the grateful aud blushing recipient of a stove, a cast iron pot, a set of dishes and a rolling pin. But alas there is many a slip between the cup and the lip. The fickle girl here changed her mind and married a prepossessing rival,
