Dr. Andrew (lark lately delivered an eycuint address on alcohol, in the Great Pot tlaml street school -roots, London, to a crowded and deeply interested audi- ence. He said he proposed offering a few informal remarks upon the influence of alcoholic brinks upon health, upon work, upon disease, and upon the suc- ceeding generation. This question of aloohol was Of the first importanceoto us as a nation and as individuals, attd hence a great responsibility rested upon those who professed to speak upon it without authority. He ventured to say that he knew something about this question. For twenty-five years he had been phy- sician to nue id. the largest hospitals in this country. (the London Hospital), and there, as elsewhere, it had been a part of his business in life to ascertain the influence which alcoholic drinks exer- cised upon health, and he had with deep interest and attention striven to get at the truth of :he matter. In the first place let him distinctly say that alcohol was a poison, as were also strychnine, arsenic, and opium; but as certain small doses of strychnine, arsenic and opium -were useful in special 'circumstances and in vary minute dosaa, alculiod could also, be used n.thout any ohyieus prejudicial effect upon health. He was not going to discuss what these Minute dioses were, save to say that they were very mlinlite. A perfect state of health :811(1 it was rarely tebe fouti11 c,uldnot lebenetitted by alcohol i;i any .e•!ree. and in nine ti.uei nut Ot tell ir' 1:a! illi .it,l by it.

Cif secondary health issse.ssed 1 v 'nest of us, and what slid ;sleeted do for this ! . He had tw•i, :;tswet•t to give - that this sort of health 1- t>. apparently with alco- hol better than the ,other. and seemed to if bt•ueti:tees Ly it ;and this ::as exactly the sort of health that formed the great 'debating ground of different peoplerwith respect to the use of alcohol. Secondly there were Boum nerveu! people always ailing, yet never ill, for whom he had a profound sympathy. who seemed to de- rive great coif, it from alcohol, and to these he had sometimes said, "Take a little beer or wine, but take great care never to go beyond the minute dose." He did not e!eft'nd this, but simply stat- ed it to avow what he tho^ght. As to the influence of alcohol upon work, Dr. Clark went on to encourage his hearers to try the experiment of total abstinenee, and observe the result in regard to work. Letthetn, however, try it fairly, and not allow themselves to be deterred from it by the evil prngnusticatiotu of friends. He was certain that if this experiment were tried each individual present would come to the conclusion that arci,htil t►iit not a h'lper of work, but on the con- trary. a hindrance. Now as to the effect of alcohol upon disease. He went through the wards of his hospital to -day and asked himself how many cases there were des to natu- ral and unavoidable causes and how many to drink, and he came, after care- ful thought, too the conclusion that seven out of ten owed their ill -health to alco- hol. He did not say that thew were ex- oeasire drinkers or drunkards --in fact, it ase not the .lrunkarls who suffered mostly from alcohol, but the moderate drinkers who exceeded the physiological quantity. The drunkard eery often was an abstainer for months together sfter a periost ,d intemperance, brat the moderate drinker went steadily to work undermtnmg hu ^+onto uion. and preps: . TH1.

He had no mean. of Brading out how many victims alcohol claimed ergo year, but certainly more thea ta-1 fourths of the disorders of fashions life arose from the drug of which he was speaking. 10Anally, Dr. Clark dwelt up- on the heredity of the alouholic taint, and dosed by saying that eoinetimes when he thought of all ibis conglomera- tion of evils he was disposed to rush to the opposite *stream --to give up his profession, to give up everything, and to enter upon a holy crusade, preaching to all men everywhere to beware of this enemy of the race. s Warning. Jennie Cramer is the nameof a young, beautiful and attractive lady whose dead body was found mysteriously floating in a stream at New Haven, Connecticut, a few weeks ago. She was the petted child of fond pa- rents and a popular companion among the young then a her home circle. She was allowed to select her own compan- ions and to have the utmost liberty of conduct in her associations, She was not "fast" as the term goes - she was like thousands of other girls, only "gay." She accepted promiscu- ously the company of young men who were fond of sport and a "good time," without regard to their character,or the place or kind of amusement to which they led,her. Her parents never seemed to have con- ceived the idea of her falling under evil influences, or much leas that her reputa- tion or life were in danger until called to drag her dead body out of the stream. How she came by such an end is an inquiry still shrouded in mystery. By some she is supposed to have been foul- ly dealt with by her male companions, by others that she committed suicide. But an equally important inquiry is suggested by her fate; aild that is, ' whether there are not thousands of young ladies in almost every community who, like Jennie Cramer, are left by their pa- rents' entirely without supervision or care as to the companions and influences surrounding them ? Th?s fact is pressed home upon any nue who observes of thousands of young men and ]idles promenading the public itreets of our city at all hours of the evening -we were about to say all hours of the night. Young ladies in their "teens," with their arms'apf'ectionately clasped by the hand of gushing young men, who seem to make special effort to advertise to the public by their attitude and their airs that they are admitted to special familiarity with the ladies they have in charge. Many young ladies who submit to and permit such manners, or ill -manners, on the street front their escorts don't know any better; they don't know that such familiarity on the part of a gentleman is gross; that it is positive evidence on the par: of the utau who practices it either of grosanesa, stupidity or criminal du- plicity'. .i young m.811 has no business to grasp the feria of a young lady for the purpose f escorting her through the street. Such • Manners, to say- the least, are "loud." A nice sense of propriety will not sug- gest or permit it. .l young lady. wdp' has mit iliscreiiiin enough to repulse Seel. :41 :cache- ought to have her father oto Lig brother about to e•itnlnantl "hands off. ' Toe great Clanger of the tinges is this growing lack of a sense of propriety '-n the part of young ladies. They may think to enhance their personal attr'ac- ti"iii :811,1 win the affections of the oppo- site sex by a ireedom, and certain degree of abandon itt their manners, but they more often lose the respect of those who are really worthy of their regard, by a lack of maiden bydignity and propriety. There is always danger to daughters who are mingling in promiscuous society without this l gh sense of propriety which every lady should possess and en- force on the part of her companions. Jennie Cramer's fate will become a more frequent event when parents hare ceas- ed to observe and inform themselves of the companionship and conduct of their daughters who are mingling in society. - MRS.

' But if the reply is ieteIded to be emphatic, then the intonation is such as to throw the emphasis nn the word "sir' - the reply is "yes, Air." or "no, a;,." In passing, I may note that I have never heard an A u•erican waiter reply "yessir," as our English waiters de. The American use of the word "quit" I is peculiar. They d„ not limit the acrd, Ai we .lo, to the sigr,itit'ation "take leave -in fact, I have never heard an American use the word in that sense. They generally list it as a' e- i i 'anent to "leave /fl" or 'stop.'• In passing. one may notice as rather strange the cir- cumstance that the word "quit," which prig/elle- menus "to go away 'rola," and the word "stop," which means "stay should booth have come to he used as signifying tit "leave off, Thus Ameri- cans say "quit foling" for "leave off .playing the fond," "quit singing," "quit Laughing" and so forth. Ti English ears an American use of the word "softie" sounds straws -viz., as an adverb. An American will say, "I think some of buying a new house," or the like, "f: it I have seethe idea of buying," &c. I have indeed heard the usage defended as perfectly correct. though assuredly there is n"t an instance in all the wide rause of English litera- ture which will justify it. So, also, many- Americana defend as good English the use of the wird."god" in such phrases as the io!dowins: ''I have written .that o.s1 Cor "well "that will make you feel ti1, her "that will do lou 'nu al ' and in other way's all equally incorrect. ttf Curse. there are instances in Which adjectives ;ie allowed ley' custom to he used as eerie:, as for IIl- stance, "right" for "rightly," ."c., but there can he no reason for sit!'.tltuting the adjective "good- nod" in Mace of the ad- verb "well," which is as shoe n word and at least espial!). ear:al:Mole.
