Experiment en a Drunkard.We find in the Bangor Commercial Ad*vertiser the following remarkable account

of an experiment on a drunkard, perform**]by a medical student at South Berwick.The fact which it describes is a remarkableone, and is apparently well authenticated,

fc. It is worthy the attention ofthe physiologist,and must strike terror to the drunkard, it heis susceptible of any feeling. * [Landmark.]

Ig.nition of 11cman Blood. We observein the Morning Star, an interesting expCrimentwhich was performed by Jacob C.J lanson, a medical student ofSouth Berwick,Me., v>n the blood of a Common drunkard,who was a resident of that village in Augustlast. The circumstances were briefly these..Mr. Hanson had some time previous to hisIrving the experiment, read in some of thephysiological authors that on the dissectionof the cerebrine of a defunct drunkard, a

fluid was discovered in its frontal sinus,which on being extracted and ignite*! bv theanatomist, burned with a bllie flame, r romt lis circumstance* Mr. II. was induced todraw the conclusion, iba durii g a protractedAt ofintoxication, the blood must bo stronglyimpregnated with alcohol, and a favorableopportunity soon occurred for testing thetruth of his conjecture. An habitual andconfirmed drunkard, came staggering intothe office of the physician with whom Mr.11, was a student. This object of pity anddisgust was inhaling an oder mote resemblingalcohol than the breath of a humanbeing. His eye was inflamed and flushed,and his whole system had been saturatedwith rum for a fortnight without cessation;during the time he had taken little food huthad swallowed tito gallons of Rum, in thecourse of the previous five days. Mr. II.remarked that there was some danger of hisperishing by spontaneous combustion, andobserved to hirn that he might derive considerablelienefit from being bled, giving it as

his opinion that the blood was much encumberedwith alcohol, and that he could igniteit, or ir. the words which he used to tin?.drunkard, " set it on fire.''

This last remark was followed by a requestfrom the drunkard that he should bebled, which was performed without delay.From the odor which was perceptible to allpresent the moment the fluid followed thelancet, it was evident that it consisted of amixture of blood and alcohol. This was

fully confirmed by the epxerimcnt which followed.A pint bowl filled with this fluid washanded to one of the spectators who igliitcda match and bringing it in Contact with thecontents of the bowl, a conflagration immediatelyensued: burning with a blue flamefor the soace oftwentv-five or thirty seconds.Mr. IT. concludes his accouu: of this curiousand interesting experiment in the followingwords:.The above experiment which resulted in

a phenomenon thus brilliant, aftd which I hadnever noticed either by observation or inauthors, was not only witnessed by myself,and the subject of it who sat mute, astoundedand in breathless silence, but by severalrespectable gentlemen,together with a worthyand respected physician, my tutor, who were

present and who in the subjoined certificatevouch for the authenticity of the fact I notesubmit to the public.

Jacob C. Hanson.to the public.

We the undersigned, residents of South'Berwick, Me., do hereby certify that we were

present and witnessed the experiment abovedescribed.

We cannot conclude our notice of thissingular pltcnomcnon without urging on thevotaries of intemperance a serious considerationof the truth which it developes. Canwe wonder that while a liquid fire is thustraversing the whole system, and scorchingthe fiuost tissues of the human frame.thatdelicate sensibility should be lost? With a

scorpion, like aleolio I, stinging the brain andfiring the whole nervous system, need we

he surprised that the unfortunate victim ofthis cursed poison ie frequently impelled toacts of madness and desperation. It would

iiwl>v>/l if ,1m ft«IC U'lliph tK»U«^viaugv iiiuwu it wuv in vo «*»»vi» v»w

smoulder in the system, shculd never stingthe miserable sufferer into deeds of tlie dorkestdye, and urge him forward in the madcningcourse of debauchery and blasphemy.We trust that this experiment will have theeffect of waking up the philantliropist, andurging on the friends of temperance to wagean unceasing warfare with this overpoweringand desolating evil, until the u bine flame"which has risen from the blood of a fellowbeing, light the repentant drunkard back tothe path of temperance* and serve as a bea*con light to those who would avoid the horriblelife and miserable end of the confirmeddrunkard.

THE DRUNKARD'S PROGRESS.A FACT.

1^..S was the son of respectable]>orents. His lather dying while he was

voung, left in the hands of his guardian forhis son, a handsome property, sufficient tosupport all his wants. He was apprenticedto a trade, aivl served faithfully, givingentire satisfaction to his employer, whodreaded to liave hiun leave, and made himan advantageous offer to enter into partnershipwith him. He accepted, and commencedbusiness under the most flutteringprospects of success. Possessiig the confidenceof his partner, the love and affectionof his customers, no one's prospects forfuture usefulness were brighter than his.Business flourished. Money came as itwere, like dew. He secured the good willo£h» companions.rose high in the estima.

. ticn of all who kuew him.held responsibleoffices, rind was considered one of the firstmen w* the pfcice. By his perseveranceaod industry > » a few years he acquiredenough to retire from hid business and liveat ease. He seemed to be satisfied with

. this world's ttea$uroe,& looked forward withpleasure to the quiet retirement of domesticlife,' wlien in the bosoin of his family liecould 3[>end his days in peace, free from the^caros and, turmoiJS of business. But alas!

how vain ami futile were Ins glorious an-

ticipations of future bliss and enjoyment,when moving in the circle of his friends, apattern ofhonesty, frugality and temperance,lie should hear his name spoken with plea- jsure by his associates and receive their approvingbenedictions.The destroyer came in the shape of the

friendly treat. Fashion worked his ruin.It was the fashion of the day to pass thesparkling bowl around when friends metto talk over the news' and spend a fewhours in each others society. Temperateat first, he slowly acquired the habit offrequentdrinking, and was occasionally foundsuffering under too much spirits, lie littlethought to what an cntl his course was

leading,'.what fearful results, were soon

to burst upon his vision! Remonstrancefrom his friends had no effect. His formerstanding in society,1>md the fall into whichhe was hastening, checked not, but ratheraccelerated his doom. Gambling lent itsaid to complete his ruin. The companyofthe respectable wasjbrsaken 4\>r that ofthe vile and vicious.the pleasures of thedomestic circle, for the companionship ofthose \v!k> revel in the lowest sinks, ofpollution and folly.whose deeds love darknessrather than light, and who glory not inspreading abroad the benevolent principles ofvirtue, science, and religion, but only thoseof a coruptinsr, demoralizing and debasinginfluence. His possessions passed away,like the morning cloud, falling into thehands of the gambler and seller of Rum.His friends forsook him, and he held communiononly with the workers of iniquity.From the resectable standing he once heldin society, he fell to the lowest and most degraded,a curse to 'himself, and sorrow tohis friends. His career of folly and madnessat length came to an end. His propertywas gone; and Af, who could once

boast of being in j>osscssion of thousands,now a tenant -of the poor house, a miserablevictim to intemperance, thrown lor his subsistenceupon the hand of charity, with a

constitution worn down by the dissipationsn i l

oi mannoou.

When I asked him wlwt had become ofhis companion in dissipation, his reply was,one is in the same condition with myself, inthe poor house; another became a confirmeddrunkard, and in a fit of intoxication,jumped from a window and was killed..Another and another have died miserablevictims of intemperance.

Reader, this is not a fictitious narrative,but a true one. as told me by the individualabove mentioned. IIow many thousandcases similar to this there are in our coun.

try, we know not. Undoubtedly many ofa similar nature have fallen under our ownobservation. This is not a solitary one.Would to Heaven it was,.that our earswere not -daily pained with die recital ofsucli melancholy events^ and eyes sinkenedwith beholding them,.that we were not obligedto sec the immortal spirit of man so

degraded and faHen ; that rational and accountablebeings will suffer themselves tobe enticed into the paths- of dissipation bythe wily artifices of ihe Votaries of sonsualpleasure. Yet human nature is weak. Wearc too willing to suffer our appetites to gainthe ascendency over our better feeling, andlead us from the correct road of our moralobligations.

That our country may be freed from thewithering and bHghtning effects of intern-pcrrncc, it is necessary for all who lovemankind and desire to sec them prosperousand happy, to aid in expelling tlus Arabianexile from-the land of the 4<Dra\eand thefree." May all be willing to enlist in thecrusade against crime and iniquity, whowish to see advance the glorious principlesof mortal rectitude and right. Let us restnot, until we arc free from this annoyingevil; this curse and scourge of nations andmen. This cause appeals for support toevery age and sex, for nil arc exposed to itsdestructive etlects. Let us strive to hastenon the long wished for day \then there shallbo no more drunkenness in the land, but allbe enlisted uncter the wide spreading bannerof temperance and her kindred virtues; andthe reward we shall have for our labors,will be the consciousness of having doneour duty to ourselves and those around us.

AN INCIDENT.In an obscure village in the State of Vermont,there lived an aged man, friendless

and without connexions, for he was one ofthe early settlers and came here alone. Duringthe revolution he took up arms with therebels and gave his nronertv for the benefit

o M M *

of the revolutionary army. lie endured allthe privations which chartcterized that strugglefor liberty, he signalized himself in severalbattles, and after the efforts ofthe friendsof freedom were crowned with success, heretired to private life. He became very poor,and was compelled to earn his daily breadby working one day here and next there.His wife died; children he had none. Inthis state, alone in the world, divested of pro__. j j:. r i .1..

few little effects that he had, and committedhis body to prison. Some of his acquaintancesbailed him out to the " liberty of theyard." He remained within "the limits"twenty-seven years; sometimes working forone person, and sometimes for another, atsuch work as he could perform. Garden,ing in the summer, and doing chores in thewinter, were his usual occupations. Finallyhe mode a bargain with tire village tavernkeeper, and bound himself out during life,;for his board and clothes. He used to takecare of horses, make ffres, <5cc. At thisperiod of his life there was a conspicuouscharacter travelling through the country, jreceiving the congratulations and attentionof all classes of our citizens. As he hasten-ed through our village, his fame went before jhim, and the people turned out en masse to '

bid him a heart)- welcome. He arrived atthe village where the " old soldier" lived andstopped over night in the same house.The old man knew him, and often tried

to get access his apartments, but withoutsuccess. The aristocracy of the place, theruffled shirty the silk gowns, 'he little mas-tei and pretty mfescs," must first greet the [

stranger. However the old man made interestof one of his village acquaintances to

reqttest an interview with the stranger."Tell him," said he, "that Captain B. ofthe .. Regiment of Infantry, wislics to

see hint at his leisure." The stranger waselectrified. " What!" said he, "is he alive ?Where is he ?" at the same time leaving hisrulllc shirt company, he went into the barroom in search of the "old soldier." Hefound him. " Is it possible," said the stranger,

"that you are alive?" They embracedeach otlu r, and were so affected thatneither could give utterance to one syllable.The sjiectafors wondered, gazed, and were

confounded. The best feelings of humannature gained the mastery of the whole assembly.At last, said the stranger to the" old soldier," conic with me. They retiredto a room alone and conversed about bygonetimes ; about the battles they had foughtmfft.thr.twnud the hardshiDs thev had encouu-

ten d. Eacli gave a particular narration ot

his iife since their separation, and that oftheOld Soldier was heart rending to the illustriousstranger. He told him ofhis poverty,his troubles, and his incarceration in j>rison,his jH-esent means of subsistence, &c."IIow much do you now owe?" said thestranger. " I have been on the limits ttceniy.seven yearsfor nineteen dollars. The costs

and interest may now amount to one liundred."" Tl»cre are two one hundred dollarbills," said the stranger, " pay what thouowest. I shall leave a deposit in theBank, whereyou can draw for two hundreddollars a year as long as you live." By thistime the j>cople without were impatient andcould not divine the cause of the privacy be.twcea the two heroes. They went out,took sonic refreshment; the strangerreturn,cd to his company, and the old soldier wentto the lawyer's office and paid his debt. Hethen went into the tailor's and procured a

suit of clothes. The next day the old soldierand the strangerdeparted together, leavingthe people to conjecture the cause ofthe metamorphosis ofthe one and the strangeconduct of the other. The old soldier, how-ever, returned to his native village in a fewweeks,and the pcopl j who before wouldscarcely sj>eak to him, unless it was for thepurpose oftelling him to get out oftheir way,were all glad to see him. He, nevertheless,pursued the even tenor of his way. Thatstranger was General LAFAYETTE.
