Rum and Crime IN Roston.

The grand jury of Suffolk county, (Boston)
Mass, have made report Of their doings for
the last six months. They have been in sos-
sion 40 days. have examined 40 cases, aud
found 493 bills, having l,4G6 wilnesses.-
OF the cause Of The fearfully abundant crime
into which they have been required to exam
inc, they say:
"Of the proximate and obvious causes Of
crime, they will mention but one Grand Ju-
ries in this Commonwealth and elswhere
have repeatedly declared their conviction
that three-fourlhs Of the crime of the commu-
atty, might be attr buted, directly or indiiect-
ly. to the Incorporate use Of strong drinks.
The present Grand Jury have come to the
same conclusion. And though it does not be-
long especially to the function of the Grand
Jury to investigate this matter, it does emf
nenIly belong TO them to mention its perni-
cious inAuence.-This cause Of crime fills the
prisons faster than the community can build
them. The means Of indulgence are abun-
dainty furnished by numerous shops for the
illegal sale of intoxicating drinks-grogeries
of all sorts, from the fashionable saloon down
to the 'holein the wall, and filthy cellar, where
the air reeks With stencil and blasphemy-
the resort OF the idle, the thoughtlcss, the
proligate, the rutfian and the harlot. The
municipal authorities can remove this nuis-
ance, OF at least abate il, whenever they will (;
It is as much in their power as the offal in the
sewers. or dirt in the streets

$15,OOO,OOO Lost every
year to the State of
Ohio as the result of
the liquor traffic.

The small city of Columbus contains 1876
!ippIing houses, which employ at least 372
men in this work of death. No wonder Co.
lumbus has been the scene of Drunken broil s
upon her streets, and in our Legislative halls.
1t is estimated that in these SO tippling hous-
es there is expended annually $4,000. The
sum wasted in the same way in Cincin-
natti Judging from the population as compar-
ed with the population of Columbus, would
be $l.O2S,ooO. From these losses arising
from this source in these two cities, we are
intirely prepared for the startling announce
mcnt, that the actual pecuniary loss to the
State Of Ohio arising from the liquor traffic
is not less than FIFTEEN MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS ANN UALLY!!!l

COMFORT FOR HoMELY WoxEN.-"Beauty"
says Lord Kames, "s a dangerous property,
tending to corrupt the mind of the wife, tho
1t soon loses its influence over the husband.
A figure agreeable and engaging, which in
spires affection, without the cbri.y Of love, is
a much safer choice. The graces lose not
their influence like beauty. At the end of
80 years, vrtuous woman, who makes an
agreeable companion. charms her husband

to fire holds good in one respect, that the
hercer it burns the sooner it is extinguish-

We have always had
the right to Traffic in
Intoxicating Liquors
and a prohibitory law
will deprive us ofthis
Right.

We admit that you have always had this
right But does age sanctify crime? Does
long lifetime in the practice of wrong, make
wrong right. Great Britain from time imme-
mortal has been engaged in the Slave Trade,
but does that make it right to tear away men,
women and children from their homes, and
their native land, to enslave them forever? !?
You all answer MOI Does age or time, then
sanctify traffic that not only enslaves the
body, but destroys peace, happiness, health,
and life itself Heaven answers MOI! Good
men answer NO. Consisten honorable men
answer MOI and could devils speak they
would proclaim it from the very depth of
hell, that an old legal right to do wrong is
never claimed AMONG DEVILS! as a iusti-
fcatIon of the wrong or as reason why they
may with impunity continue in the wrong.
