The columns of tho Proltibilianist bear ample testimony that the cause of Temperance is being advocated with fresh spirit in the stats of Texas. For a country which was lately known as “ The Paradise of Rogues," the following will be allow- ed to be prr-uy.toned Christian ethics, as applied to voting. The article is from the ltriltiavt Atl- oocats, a paper ptlllllsllul in that State. .

-' Gan we hallow the name’ of,‘ our Father in heaven,’ by voting for men who lav-tr the sale of rum, Ilia use of which, as a ltt:\'t'I’ut1e, tends to de- base the m.-ml of beings niatfe III his own image, and to cause them to curse his sacred nanie?

-‘(Jan we .ince ely pray, ‘Thy ltingrloiti come,’ and vote for turn who favor the sale oflhst which as :t hcverzue. builds up and peoples the kingdom of the prince of evil, the great enuny of God and man?

“Can we pray ' Thy will he done on earth as It is in or-avert.‘ if we vote for men in favor of this traflic 3

" Can we pray, in sincerity. ‘ give us this day our daily bread,’ and vote for men in favour of a trallic, which can only be sustained by taking the fruits of the earth. intsiulorl by the bountiful Giver to local llis creatures, and convert them into a poison to dsoase Ills image

‘-' Forgive us our trespssaos, as we forgive those who trespass against us.’ Have we not greatly trespassed, in so long,vottng for men fav- oriotz s ea a sum .

'- ‘ Lead us not into temptation.’ Ifvte no to the polls and vote for men who favor the tralhc in ‘mm. thus putting temptation in our path, can we without the tlscksst liypvu-ris_t, pray to God to ‘M Lead us‘ not into tern alion !'

" ' Deliver us from evil.’ Shall we, with this petition on ottr lips, go to the polls and vote for men who will r'us:|in one of the most tremendous engines of evils ever triads by the devil to break down the kingdom of God, and build up the king- dom of unriglateoanesr

,“ How can we peruse the Lord's Prayer, every petition of which strikes at the root of sum dealing~,-‘and yes vote for men in favor of its con- titiunncel

“ Christians. philanthropists-men of sense- all who love God, and desire the best interests of man, ponder well those principles, and see ifyuu can, directly or indirectly, give your name or in- fluence, in the remotest degree. to place men in power who will use it to sustain one ofthe greati

est causes of temptation to sin in the whole odd." "

.- ..

To the above appeal, which one would suppose no Christian heart could resist, we add the sol- ctrtn sanction ofthe verso (Mat. 7, 2l,)

" Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that rloeth the will of my Father which is in heavsu.”-~N- Y. ' 'lI'0?|I'll

——_——o___: HUSBAND sun Wtrt-:.—Tlie Legislature of Georgia has passed nn act to define the liabilities of the husband for the debts of the wife, and to define the liabilities of property received through the wife for the debts of the husband existing at the time of the marriage. It provides that “ hereafter, when persons intermarry, the husband shall not be liable for the debts of the wife, and that the property receiv- ed by the husband through the wife shall in no case be liable for the debts, de- faults, or contracts of the husband ex- isting at the time of the marriage.” Seve- ral otlicr States have looked into and secured woman's rights in this import- ant‘ particular.

MACHINERY IN frat: HUIIAN Fiutru.-— Very few, evcn mechanics, are aware how much machinery there is in their own bodies. ot only are there hinges and joints in the bones, but ‘there tire valves in the veins, tt forcing pump iii the heart, and other curiosities. One of the mus- cles of the eye forms ti real pulley. The bones which support the body are made iprecisely in that form which has been cul- culated by mathematicians to be strong- est for pillars and supporting columns— that of hollow cylinders.

Sir,-—(;‘ratitude compels me to make known to you the extraordinary bonetit an aged parent has deriv frotri the use of your Pills. My mother was,aliIict ‘V for upwards of four and twenty years with asthma and spittin of blood; it was quite agony to see her suffer and our her cough; I have often declared, that I would give all I eased to have her cured ; but although I paid a large sum for medicine and advice. it was all to no purpose. About three months ago, I thought perhaps your Pills might benefit ‘her ; at al events I resolved to give them a trial, which I did; the result was marvellous: by slow degrees, rn mother became better, and Ifler pcrssveriug wi your remedies for pine weeks, she was perfoctl cured. and now ettjojs the best ol health, although seventy-five years ol . I remain, Si ',

It was then, that I thought of trying your Pills, and immediately sent for it quantity and commenced usin em. The result I can scarcel credit even now. although true it is. After using! em for four weeks, I felt much better. and by perssvering with them, at the expiration of two months, I was completely cured. l have since an. joyed the boat of has th. I am, '
