The sale of intoxicating drinks tends only
to disturb the tranquility of our towns and
vilsges.to produce disease, poverty and crime,
to multiply paupers, and increase pauper tax
es. Hear Chief JUSTICE. MARSHALL, ave
think it, (says he) as competent and NEcEs-
sARY, for a State to provide precautionary
measures, against the moral pestiience Of PAU
PERs, vAGABoNDs and POSSIBLE coSvIcTs, as
it is to guard against the physical pestilence
which may arise from unsOund and infectious
articles imported in ship" Let us then use
the means the State has put into our hands.
70 Let the friends of Temperance at an
early day, in a GENITAL meeting, in each
County, agree upon three gentlemen as can
didates for this Office Who will refuse to sane
ton this bloody traffic, and let them use all
diligence in urging their election, in the sew
eral Counties.
2. BY enforcing the penalties Of the law,
if i; is violated. Let men. in their haste to be
rich be compelled to regard the interests that
are dearsr than wealth. Let the public see
that no one assumes, as source of profit,the
seducing his neighbor to learn or practice
the ways Of the drunkard, tempting him TO
that course, which brings ruin not only to the
victim, but affects also his family and friends
and society.
Heretofore, it has been at least doubtful
question, whether our Magistrates could
bind offenders TO the County Court. That
doubt no longer exists. 1t is, by the new law,
in the power Of any Magistrate, every day of
the year. to to "bind over offenders and the
witnesses for the prosecution, requiring bonds
for good behavior mednichile. ,chich bonds are
forfeited If he sell during that period. Let
not this powerful machinery fail to tell, thro'-
out this State, upon the cause Of Temper
ance.
3. Last. but not least, GRAND Jurors have
been found heretofore who would trife with
their oaths of Office and even strain their souls,
if not endanger their persons. with the sin Of
perjury, to screen rum seller from deserved
punishment. Let not such men disgrace the
community, any longer, or interrupt the prop
er administration of the laws. Ii they will
themselves indulge their own appetites, let
them drink, and paint their own folly upon
every feature OF their countenance, but let
them not pollute the fountains of justice, let
them not soil the ermine Of the Courts.
In many Counties, the most important du-
ties of Grand Jurors will have relation TO this
very traffic. In such cases the friends Of Tenn
perance should be especially careful in re-
spect TO these elections.

other views in reference to that subject, and

TEMPERANCE.
To the Central Committee Of the ". Temp.

To the Central Committee Of the ". Temp.
Society.
GENrLLMEy,-You well recollect that a
petition was prepared and circulated under
your direction some weeks since, to the Leg
islature of the State, upon the subject OF Lii
censes for the sale of into xIcating liquors, be-
ing in substance the same as was voted by the
Society at the Annual Meeting at Rutland.
Soon afterwards having opportunities for
learning the views of our friends in many and
distant parts Of the State. and being satisfied
that more thorough change in the laws
would be more generally acceptable, while
your own wishes would also be equally graf
flied, ventured to urge in my public indul-
gences. the propriety Of another course, to
wit: the Massachusetts system. Numerous
PETITIONS were presented to the Legislature,
few, for the repeal Of all laws, on this sub
ject, headed. some of them, by notorious rum
sellers, others, signed much more numerous
", being the form Of petition adopted by your
selves. and third class, with still longer
list of names, praying for the Massachusetts
system.
This question came before the Legislature
very early in the session. A select Commit
tee Of one from each County was raised, in
the House, aud another (of three) in the Sen
ate. Of the first Mr.. Button of WaIlingfoid
was chairman, and of the second Mr.. Briggs
Of Brandon The two Committees united
in their sessions for discussion and delibera-
ton, and with all possible caudor listened TO
the suggestions of any one who was disposed
10 be heard. Justice to these gentlemen re-
Puires of us this formal acknowledgements Of
their courtesy and impartiality during these
sessions. The discussion on the other side
of the question was entirely free from that
low BLACKBOARD style which marked the speech
es of some at Woodstock, in our hearing be-
fore that Court.
Both Committees reported bills substan-
tally alike, and adopting the plan Of the Coun-
ty Commissioners. With some amendments,
in respect to details. the bill Of the Senate
was passed, in that branch, with only 8 votes
in opposition, and in the House, by vote
of lis to 80.
Under this new system of Laws, touching
the question Of Licenses, it becomes us to
call upon every good citizen to secure the
highest good of the people.
l. By the election Of Commissioners who
will not appropriate to themselves the woe
denounced upon him who puts the bottle to
his neighbours lips and makes him drunken.
The traffic, if licensed at all, is licensed as
it is ordinarily carried on. This stands upon
the same footing with other rights and privil-
eyes, the mode in which it shall be managed
being established by usage, Of course, in in
creasing this traffic, we endorse all the effects
which Ordinarily flow from it, the disease,
the poverty, aud the crime. Who is willing

ONE THAT'S FAR AWAY.

When breathing zephyr wakes the spring,
And streams begin to fow,-
And birds and butterflies take wing,
And buds and blossoms grow;
feel the joy that others feel,
bless the opening May
But oft unbidden tears will spring
For One that's far away.
When summer Dathes the skies in light,
And sunbeams clasp the hills
And every vale. with fowerets bright,
Immense Sweet distils;
I take that beauty to my heart
Which "SEvEK CAN BETRAr"-
But still my spirit mourns apart
For One that's far away.
When signs the sad autumnal wind,
And clouds impetuous fy,--
When meditation woos the mind.
As leaves around me de-
] love the early closing night,
love the sombre day:
For then my spirit takes it fight
To One that's far away.
When round the wintry hearth we close,
The days employment done,
And guileless merriment outfows
From hearts to grief unknown,
listen to their artless cheer
smile that they are gay
But still ] weep for one more dear,
The One that's far away.

They took their departure. In the after
noon PeIl called upon Mr.. Sampson, and pro-
ducing the will, told him that he was the SUBJ
scribing witness, he wished him to go before
the Judge of Probate and prove the will.
tH hy,' replied Sampson, L have done
that already, six weeks ago.
what do you mean, Sampson I"
Just as l say-that about six weeks
ago swore to the will before the Judge
of Probate
'Impossibler replied Pell, taking the
will out of his pocket-but as he took it
out, his eve for the first time fell upon the
following endorsement on the parch-
ment:
Count, SIS: The within instru-
ment duly proven, and by me recorded in
Liber M. of Wills, pages 20s g. 200, this
II day of June, A. d. IS.
SOLOMON HALE, Judge Of Probate
Pell was dumb with astomshment. At
length he enquired, who had produced
the will at the time it was proven!
"A Mr.. Jocelyn.' replied Sampson.
The whole truth now flashed upon
Pell's mind. Tim it was who had so
frightened him on the evening the will
was taken away, and Tim must have been
the apparition, who had taken it away.
His rage was now without bounds: and
not recollecting how he stood affected by
what had transpired, and that his own
crime of forgery might be made to appear,
he mounted his Garage, and drove with
all haste to Farmingdell Park. On arri-
wing there, he burst into the room where
Mrs. Winthrop, Eliza and Tim we're
seated at the tea-table.
you are avery kid uncle said Eliza,
zones friends do not often call twice n a
day.
You villain ? roared Pell. And so,
Mr.. Jocelyn, you was the thief that stole
the will from my bed room table, about
six weeks ago! You needn't think to
escape You will be called on by an Off
Ger tomorrow morning,-and go to jail
'Thank'ee, said Tim, Tve no occasion.
/ only borroued the will few hours Just
to get it proved. Was it not returned the
next evening? Ask Peter
Old Pell almost foamed at the mouth.
And so you conspired with my servant
to rob me of the will, did you! Very
well, Mr.. Jocelyn, there is law for these
things
Yes replied Tim, slipping his tea
very coolly, Peter did assist'me little in
that matter. | was in his room, and stood
at the window of the door, as you were
about to commit the crime of-Forgery =
The last word was pronounced in the
same unearthly voice that had frightened
Pell on the evening alluded to. He saw
that his crime was known, and that he
was in Tins power.
Tim saw his situation, and commiserat-
ed him. He promised not to divulge his
crime, OH condition that after surrender
ing the will and estate, he would leave the
country. This was Immediately done land
Tim and Eliza soon after left Farmingdell
Park for the homestead of her father,
where they still reside, surrounded by
wealthy AMI sincere friends
As for poor Benson he never returned
to college; nor was he ever again seen in
that vicinity.
