THE FKRE-SHDE.
From the Hampshire Herald.
An old Story New Vamped,

Old Elias Reyes, formerly first Judge of Windsor
County, Vt was strange composition of folly and
good sense, of natural shrewdness and want of cult
walton. The following sentence pronounced upon
poor ragged fellow for stealing pair of boots from
General Curtis man of considerable wealth IN the
town of Windsor
We'll, said the Judge, very gravely, before pronoun-
cling sentence of Court undertaking to read the young
villain lecture, you are fine fellow to be arraigned
before Court for stealing. They say you are poor
one doubts it who looks at you, and how dare you,
being poor have the mpudence to steaa pair of boots
No body but rich people have a right to take such
things without paying for them they say you are
worthess-that is evident from the fact that one
has asked justice to be done you; all, by
mous consent pronounced you guilty before you
tried. Now you, being tcoheSS, fool to steal,
because you might know you would be condemned.
And you must know it was great aggravaton to your
offence that you stole them in the large torn Of Hind
sor!-ln that large town to commit such act is most
horrible And you not only go into Windsor to steal,
but you must steal from that great man, Gen. Curtis
This caps the climax of your iniquity Base wretch!
why did you not 90 and steal the only pair of boots
which some poor man had or could get and then you
would have been let alone nobody would have troub-
led themselves about the act! For your inquity in
stealing in the great town of Windsor and from the
great Gen. Curtis, the Court sentences you to three
months Imprisonment in the County Jal,and may God
give you something to eat

broken, But does this fact show that we have no
need of law? The absurdity of this argument is gar-
ing We do not persuade the thief the robber, or the
murderer The terrors of the law are held over their
heads Why not actupon the principle that San ounce
ofpreventon is better than pound of cure?" Alas
"man is as prone to do evil thesparks to fly upward
The understanding may be convinced but Incidence,
or some other cause, will keep him quiet, while ruin
stalks around.
When shall we awake and rid our land from the
ravages Of the monster intemperance?
Yours truly, A. H. B.
