HOW IT PAYS

The license system, says the Richmond Era,
+ regarded In some quarters as the perfec-
on of human wisdom, the ne Plus ultra of
kgislation. To make the sorry dram-selIer
Fntribute more literally to the support of
gFernment than the rich farmer, is consid-
ED to be the snatching a grace beyond the
reeh Of art, and decking the State in robes
OF plendor at the cost of a class who deserve
more favorable encouragement from the com
munity. But, is this thefact Do these dram
return more into thepublic Golfers than
the a~grCulturist or even the laboring man
aeS a spot OF gruunusar-aaHa4her
~@y1xy.@W TrOWAnot. For eV-
uorlAc these dram-sellers throw into the
Treasury in the way of taxes, they take out
three In the form Of criminal expenses, in
creating drunkards, knaves and murderers,
o~rphanage, widowhood and poverty-all of
which are entailed upon the people and the
costs of which they are taxed to defray. A
in point, in which the State made a few
cents and the county lost upwards of a thou
sand dollars
"a grocer in Clinton county, New York,
sold a drunkard a pint of rum according to
law and made two red cents clear profit
The drunkard shot his ~son-in-law while In
toxicated and his apprehension, confne-
ment IN Jail, execution, &C., cost the country
more than one thousand dollars, which tenn
perate men had to earn by the sweat of their
brows 2"
This is not an isolated case. We can a
this moment refer to a dozen cases, In which
crimes have been committed under the infu
ence of ardent spirits, which have cost on
own State, in the prosecution and punishment
of. upwards of this amount.
Are taxpayers willing to endure this evi
any longer?

ALCOHOLIC AND VOLCANIC FIRES.

The liquid fire of the distillery has rolled
over the surface of this bright planet, wherever
civilization has opened the way, whelming
in its burning wave every thing that was
every thing that was of good report.
Not more steadily or more surely does the
mighty lava torrent, belched forth from the
bowels of an Angry Etna, pursue itsmde7
stroving path to the sea, consuming every
green thing and swallowing up every fair
temple in its wasting progress, than has the
frightful alcoholic wave swept over every
country, every continent, every island, inhab-
tied by civilized man.
This striking similitude may be pursued
still further-let us hope with equal truth.
The lava torrents encounter the ocean at
last. The fiery and the watery wave meet
in fierce and angry contention. The pillows,
driven back by their terrible antagonist, re-
turn again and again to the charge. Vast
volumes of vaporous cloud rollup above the
scene ofthe conflict and all the heavens are
black with the smoke of the furious battle
But the tide of fire, though hkea raging beast
of prey, it resists the first efforts TO arrest its
sullen and formidable progress, answers, by
degrees, more and more feebly, to the continf
nally renewed assaults of its perseyerlng ad
- SvnIIn9tic1
dies away; and silence reigns where the ele
: ments were contending. The heavy clouc
floats along the breeze and disappears re
vealing the sparkling water proudly reposinl
upon the field of victory.
And thus too the lava of alcoholic fire. nov
! devastating every fairest spot that the SUI
ever smiled upon, has been opposed, in on
time, by asimilar ocean as exhaust
less, as persevering, as ~unconquerable, a
ever quenched a river of volcanic fire. II
waves are oyerspreading all our land, an
gathering force and volume with each SUI
; ceeding day. That ocean is our glorious o.
, der-those waves its countless Subordinat
Divisions. The contest is here likewise b.
! tween the water and the fire and, we frml
! believe, that if there is one thing written i
) the book of destiny more surely than any oil
er, it is that water shall here likewise be tt:
