The mother did not speak-she knew
Maria was resO.ute; and now that her excl

she could callthat exemplary woman daugh-

Maria continued her quiet, meek. un.

William came home one day about sun

He had thrown himselfupon a chair, with

TO break the chains Of habit, and slay the

Friend OF my youth, OH dash to earth
The damning howl. and be man,
Ii IS the grave Of human worth
Within It's wave thy ruin scan.
Touch not the wine cup or the bowl,
Serpents within their darkness dwell,
That soon will sting thee to the soul,
And make thy happy heart a hell.
Think Of thy wife who weeps alone,
Think of Thy children's happiness;
Think OF their woes, thou must atone,-
Can they a drunken father bless?
Wilt thou give up thy blessings all
Fame fortune, friends, and all we prize,
For draughls that soon must bid thee fall,
And die the death the drunkard dies?
Canst thou give up thy vile to tears2
Canst thoJ neglect tby chidren's home2
Blast al the hopes Of future years,
And be wretch for WHAT for Rum!
Remember. at the altar, thou
Didst promise never TO neglect
The fond confiding one.-Thy VOW
Was long to love and TO protect.
Oh! God, It's cruel 10 resign
All, all thor lov'st for maddening drink;
Forsake it then, and bliss is thine,
Forsake, and fly from ruins brink.
Think not that would triumph now,
Or yet insult thy dangerous soul,
Oh! no, I've drank as deep as thou,
The dark damnation of the bowl.
Where are our friends Of earlier years2
The generous gifted and the brave;
Alasl full many have, in tears.
Drank deep. and fill a drunkard's grave
Oh! then refrain, nor to thy boy
a dark example set apart;
r ign the bowl, and fill with Joy
Thy aged Sire's and mothers heart.
Full many moon hath wax'd to wane,
Since have known the demons SPELL
And LIE shall end ere l again
Shall feel again that mental hell.

ct is worthy of the deepest consideration

virtually TO drive them from their trades
Besides it cannot be Otherwise than revolt
ing TO the sensioility of honesG mechanics
to have from ten TO fifty convicts discharged
from the penitentiary annually. with the
rivals for employment II is calculated too
to bring discredit on that entire class ofour

think this State ought at least to make
an experiment IN the manufacturing of
rope and cotton bagging from coarse cot

labor of the convicts TO the fabrication OF
those articles. If the experiment succeeds, |

ful application Of mora! means that private
duties should be enforced, Temperance
had not made n greater progress in the
States where the laws had been changed,
with a view to its advancement, than in
some others where no material alteration
of the laws had taken place, All our OBJ
servation and experience Showed US that
moral means were e(licacious for the Ell
ect, and as a siglal instance and poof OF
it he pointed to Ireland, and the career of
the great apostle of temperance, Father
Mathew That great benefactor of his
age and country had rescued thousands
and hundreds Of thousands from SIN and
miaery; but had he done it by promnIga-
ting to the people that it was against the
statue in that case made and provided
Was mis- triumphant path strewed with
acts of Parliament and bin Of Indictment!
Did he menace the Irish people with tenn
pora pains and penalties, with fines and
Imprisonment? Far otherwise. He lift
ed up his voibe to the ignorant and de-
based, and like the Apostles Of other times,
went forth TO preach, not the law, but
the Gospel; to arouse the dcadened con-
sciences of men, to summon them TO a
jgst sense Of responsibility, to impress
them with The fear Of God, and new con-
viclions of the duties which they owe
themselves, as intelligent, moral, and i'm
mortal beings. He had seized the human
heart, not with the grasp of the law, but
by the power of religion, and Of that con-
seriousness of being born for something
higher, which is possessed even by the ig-
norant and the dcpraved, His success
had proved that he had not mistaken his
means.
The argument has terminated in the
case, and the court will probably soon de-
eide upon it.

Destructive FIRE IN N. YORK
At four o'clock on the 9th, the Herald
inform US, a terrible fire was discovered
to be raging in the block Of buildings oc-
cupicd as the Tribune printing establish

fire companies to master the raging elc
ment, but to no purpose, and in the course
of a couple of hours after the first notice
Of the blaze, the Tribune newspaper con-

lshcd in New York for the last three
years, with large stock of books, &C.,
were totally consumed with all they
contained. Mr. Graham lost not only
his stock, but 5 100 in cash and his gold
watch, and narrowly escaped with his
life by lcapng out Of an elevated window

lie NATURALIZATION LAWS. -.M'
B~ricn's Bill. The leading features of
the bill reported by MIR Bcrrien, chair
man of the committee on the Judiciary, IN
the U. S. Senate, are given in the Ma
ional Intelligcnccr The bill proposes
to enact that Collectors of the revenue at
all the ports of the United States shall
keep books Of registry, in which any
alien arriving in the United States shall be
registered, and certificate ofsuch regis
try granted to the said alien. The Clerks
of Courts in the United States, on pre-
scntaton of the certificate at least three
years after the registry, may read the
declaration of the intention Of such alien
to become permanently citizen of the
United States, and grant him a certificate
Of such declaration. Two years after
the record of such declaration, and five
years after the registry, such alien may
admitted to become citizen of the Uni
ted States on certain conditions, the
most important of which appear to be
"That he shall have resided one year
at least preceding the application in the
State or District in which the court is
held. No duplicate OF such certificates
of citizenship or registry shall ever be
issued, except upon proof in court and
public advertisement Of the loss of the
original. Children under sixteen years

Since last wrote to you, on the state

yersed with several Senators, and oscer-
tanned the views OF others, and find that
the joint resolutions from the House wli
not pass in the Senate; that no measure
for Annexation will pass the Senate, at

Senators who will vote against the House

TIE OFFICIAL VOTE OF THE,
STATE FOR LICENSE COMMIS-
SiONERS.

SiONERS.
Presenting that our readers would be
DESTROYS ofbeing informed of the true
vote Of The State for Commissioners,
we have taken pains to procure the
official returns from the several Coun-
ty Clerks, which we give below.
We have taken the vote of the highest
candidates on the tickets, run, which we
suppose the faircst method Of arriving at
the true state OF the vote.
In Grand Isle Co. the County Clerk
informs US, "therc were two nominations
for Commissioners. The first for cutting
down all retailers, and licensing a suita-
bic number Of iar0ws for the accommo-
dation Of travellers.
The second for licensing generally.
The result was the election of two of the
first and one of the second ticket by a
vote of about 100 to lG5.
From these facts we think we have a
right to infer that Grand Isle Co. is unan-
'itnously in favor Of the license system
and opposed to Gnlirc restriction, and we
have so given the vote of the county in
the table.
1t will be seen that the counties range
themselves 9 Liberals, and Piukeye,
and that the Liberals have AGO majority
on the popular vote.
