And it's look was sweet and gay;
But ere its tones had died ON the breeze,

TIE murmurs sweet of its dying waves
Fall softly on my ear.

AS it gently wandered on:

A moment more. and am gone.
The birds sang sweet in the shady grove;
Their songs were wild and gay;
Yet they seemed to speak, in an under tone,
We soon shall pass away.
looked again, but heard no song
From the birds that had warblei there;
Old Boreas came, with mighty BLAST
And left that grove all bare.
The soft wind famed my burning cheek,
And signed that it could not stay;.
For a moment 1t fingered to cool my brow
Then passed like dieam away.
All things around me seemed to speak
To nv heart Of their certain COON.
As they wended their way, with fearful eyes,
To the dark and silent tomb.
All things are destined to depart;
Flowers have their time TO fade;
Tho fairest forms all pass away,
To slumber with the dead.
Fen earth and heaven shall pass away
Gods word shall live alone,
Linked by the cords Of love and truth
To his eternal throne.

New Liquor Law Of Main.

The Legislature Of Main at its last session,
passed severe liquor law. Iflaw can prevent
the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors
tho Maine folks will accomplish the work.
1t is said the dealers in the article, in Portland
are sending off their stock TO Boston-in despair
of their business.
The law prohibits the sale Of intoxicating IL
quors, except for medicinal and mechanical pur-
poses. And for these purposes II is to be sold
only by an agent, appointed by the town or
city in which he resides, who Is to receive pay
for his services, not by the profits Of the sale,
but by stipulated salary. Any individual who
shall sell, other than the agent Of tho town and
city, is made liable to forfeit and pay for tho
first offence Sl0-for the second $40, with cost
for the third and subsequent offences $2e, with
imprisonment not less than three, nor more than
six months. Forfeitures to 90 to the town for
the use of tho poor.
For the manufacture and sale, tho law pre-
scribcs the penalty of $lOO, with cost for the
first ofiencc-$200 for the second and commit
tai in both instances till paid-for the third and
subsequent offences, $500 fnc, and costs with
imprisonment as part Of the ponslty. Any Ii
quors imported into the State, Except under
such restrictions as the laws Of the U. s. ex-
prcssly warranty or stored with intent to- sell,
may be seized by the officers, and afterduu pro-
cess shall be by them publicly destroyed
Any person offering intoxicating liquors for
sale at any public assembly of tho people, agri-
cultural, military, &C., is liable to. have his IL
quor seized and destroyed and in addition to
be fined, and imprisoned. All contracts
for the sale of liquors, except suohl ne aro
provided for in the act, to be null and void.-
And the Courts are prohibited from entertaining
suits for the collection of debts for liquors sold
Such are the general outlines of the law. 1t
is positive prohibition of the sale of alcoholic
liquors, except for scientific, mechanical and mo-
dicinal purposes, and is more stringent than any
other we have ever seen on the subject Ifpub-
lie sentiment will execute it, we cannot sec how
the traffic can be continued to any great extent.
And yet as law cannot destroy the appetite Of
those accustomed to its use, there will be do
mand for it as drink. And it will be strange
if yankee ingenuity and love of gain--be not
moro than o match for the law, and still afford
a supply.
Since writing the above VIC see that twenty
casks of Liquor have been seized in Portland,
under the law. There was much cxcitcmcnt.-
The officers were resisted, but succeeded in ta-
king the liquor.
