At length his soul was stirred within him as he witnessed the increasing evils of intemperance, and he wrote and published his celebrated essay upon "The Effects of ardent Spirits upon the Human Body and Mind, with an account of the means of preventing them, and of the remedies for curing them." This is said to have been the first temperance treatise ever published--the beginning of a temperance literature. One hundred years ago, just one pamphlet of less than fifty pages; now, whole libraries of bound books, besides scores upon scores of pamphlets, leaflets and many periodicals devoted exclusively to the cause of temperance! and nearly three quarters of a century after this good man had gone to his rest, men and women from all over the land thronged the city of his birth "To recount the victories won in the war--and to strike glad hands of fellowship."

IF the young readers of THE PANSY had lived forty years ago, and had been readers of the _New York Tribune_, they would, without doubt, have been interested in certain letters upon art and literature written by Margaret Fuller; or, if you are so fortunate as to belong to a grandfather who stored away his files of the _Tribune_ in some now long-forgotten chest in the attic, you may find in the old, yellow and musty papers these same letters, and may read them now. I do not like musty old papers very much! What's the use, when we have fresh ones in such numbers that we cannot begin to read all that are taken by the different members of the family?
