Philadelphia.
Aud what was equally important, was
told that the funus necessary to IFS final
completion could be most readily collected
the subscriptions being of small amount, in
order to give all an opportunity of contrib

are vieng with each other, In making up
the largest contributions from their mines

How gratifying such spectacle is to the
Patriot, to see the working men of COM
munity anxious to proclaim by their united
efforts in the erection of such mementos,
their gratitude and affection for one who
has done so much to promote their own and
the universal interest Of mankind. And
let me ask, where you will find more of this
noble trait of character in the whole COM

THE MAINE LIQUOR LAW.

The following is from Workingman, without
the least literary pretensions but there is so
much of the pith ard rattle Of the old fashioned
rhymers in it that we have determined to give it
place. Ed.
For tine Fireman.
ThOughte on hearing Hon. Mel Dow Lecture
on the Maine Liquor Law.
The Rummes are fllling-theyve got to come down.
They soon will be routed in country and town,
For Dow, the reformer, is well posted up,
Aud is bound to destroy the poisonous cup.
And the people anxious the thing should be done
And when they commence they' all actas one:
For greatly they've suffered and great is the crime,
And many victim has died in his prime,
While others have lived who better were dead,
For in their blind folly the many they've have led
To commit the same error, despite of all truth
And thus have been ruined our old men and youth,
And our nation is ruined unless it refhm,
II there's no other way must do It by storm;
For old men and young continue to fall
And unless there's cheek twill soon ruin all.
Both wise men and fools caught in the snare;
And none are exempt, not the fair.
It beggars children and ruins our wives,
And then it endangers the whole Of our lives.
And showed us what course our vessel to steer,
BY which to avoid the quick>and and shoals,
So properly called the sinking rum holes
He asks pass the Maine Liquor Law,
And make it so perfect there' not he a Ihw;
Then Use our end eavcrs the law TO enforce;
.1,- A sf"ur, hat
For any man living that's been to schrol once,
will see at glance, uness he's Ounce,
That opposing that law would ruin his purse,
And character too, result that is worse,
For public. ol nion is wonderful storm,
1t moves with force that drives all along,
And unless they right they should never be caught
Opposed to the public in one single spot,
Fol if once in the current, they surely are lost,
As many too late Lave found to theircosl.
So, Runmrs, beware and commence reform,
And thereby avoid the gathering strong,
Fol there's mercy sutf, lent to pardon your crime;
Though the damage you've done will last long time;
And many living forever will culse
The men that have ruined their credit and purse;
And what is still more. have ruined their suuls,
In drinking saloons and filthy holes.
So reform, while you cln--'twill soon BE- too late
TIC die in that way would be a hard fate.
And why will you finger while just on the brink
of a stream that is rising, IN which you will sink,
For If you're enspheG you will surely BE- drowned;
And that is your end, yen will never BIZ touhd-
Tor not man living, The land or the wave,
Win ever search out the rumseller's grave.
But there's chance reform while yet the earth
To make yourselves pure as The day Of your bllth,
For God has so ordered thar we may be cleansed;
And the future be given to making amends;
And never more suffer for the wrong we have dlne,
But return to our homes like Il prodga son--
And there be restored our fnrmer goad standing,
And rejoice evermore that we've made a safe landing,
