Gov. Parsons has officially an.
nounced the ratification by the people
Of the Maine Law, recently adopted
blythe Legislature. The vote stood:
for the prohibitory law, "a, 449; against
prohibition, 23,Ot4. There were 383
defective ballots. M W d3s d
Of the hour, he drank little too much
wine. He had not become intoxicated.
He was not in any respect dissipated
man. His character was lofty and
noble. But in that joyous hour he
drank glass too mach. He slightly
lost the balance Ofhis body, and ofhis
mind. Bidding adieut to his colnpan-
ions he entered his carriage. But for
that extra glass Of wine he would have
kept his seat. He leaped from the
carriage. But for that extra glass of
wine he would have alighted upon his
feet. His head struck the pavement.
Senseless and bleeding he was taken
into beer shop and died. The extra
glass of wine overthrow the Orleans
dynasty: confscated their property Of
800, 100000, and sent the whole
family into exile.
How true it is, that the traffic in in
toxicating beverages not only brings
misery and sorrow to the poor, but
also to the wealthy and affluent. II.

1t dishonors the gray hairs Of age, all
beauty it turns to corruption, and con-
quers the might of the brave" The
king on his throne, the wealthy in his
palace, the beggar in his cot, alike feel
the devasting influence of its sirocco
sweep. Look not upon the wine.

There is a good storyltold in Scot

Kelso, had recently erected a shower
bath in one ofhis rooms, part ofwhich
was fittedup as a sort Of bar, or tap

One evening an Irishman, who hap
penedto be drinking with q few COM

for the purpose Of ringing for more IL

E "Ah! this beautiful world.
Indeed I know not what to think Of it.
Sometimes it is all gladness and sun
shine, and Heaven itself is not far off.
And then it changes suddenly, and is
dark and sorrowful, and the clouds
shut out the sky, In the lives Of the
saddest of us, there are bright days
like this, when we feel as if we could
take the great world in our arms.
Then come the gloomy hours, when
the fire will neither burn in our hearts,
or on our hearts, and all without and
within is dismal, cold and dark. Be-
lieve me, every heart has its secret
sorrows, which the world knows not
and oftentimes we call man cold
when he is only sad" ."--LOngtelloW.

About the workings Of the law in
Vermont, a Mr.. H. +. Smith says:
"Onarecenttour through Vermont,
I made frequent and careful inquiries
touching the operation Of the law, and
without an exception. received unhesi-
tating and unequivocal responses in
its favor.
On the Fourth, | attended a Cele-
bration in a Village among the noun
tains, where thousands were gathered
from adjacent towns, besides a large
number Of former residents Of the
town, assembled in reunion and not
drunken person was seen, nor as l
could learn, drop Of intoxicating
liquors exposed for sale. The Maine
Law is not only a fixed but a glorious
factin the Green Mountain State"

a Landlord foorninst me, I'd soon tache
him better Manners
There are times when the attention
Of all men is powerfully drawn to the
results of intemperance. Foes as well
as friends Of the temperance reform,
innocently, and perhaps unconsciously
utter a similar verdict in regard to the
fearful danger of excessive indulgence
in ardent spirits. The presnt is one Of
those periods in the history Of our city
when this unity OF sentiment prevails.
We do not mean to assert, that the
friendsoftotal abstinence are increased
but even the liquor dealers, in their
daily conversation, advocate, unknow-
ingly, the abolition Of the damning
traffic.
The Yellow King of the tropics,
holds this city subject his dominion,
Our population is hurried with fearful
rapidity to the grave. Contrary to
the predictions Of the hopeful, there
is no stay in its march Of desolation;
but it sweeps onward, with sure and
certain victory, over the whole city.
Having exhausted its subjects in one
quarter, it is found remorseIessIy deal
ing desolation in the districts that
hoped to escape.
1t would be untrue to state that in
temperance was the cause Of yellow
fever, but it is a lamentable fact, that
the sick are increased, and the dead
multiplied by the habits Of continual
dissipation. The laboring population
have hitherto been the greatest suf-
ferers. During their working days,
they, with a few exceptions, daily pa
tronise the grog-shops-eyer open for
customers. On the Sabbath, day
mostly spent in recreation, they gather
in crowds at these foci of ruin, and
prepare themselves for the remorseless
destroyer, now rioting in our midst.
We venture the assertion that Of the
5000 dead now reposing in our ceme-
teries, one third might have been saved
but for the habitual use Of ardent spir-
its. 1t is a common remark, when an
inebrlate, or even q moderate drinker,
is taken, "His chance is SLIM" Fever
riots in hisveins with an awful violence,
and when the paroxysm is over, the
shadow of death settles upon him.
We know not, nor probably will it
ever be revealed, how many are now
victims, whom habits of the strictest
temperance night have saved; but
when the day arrives when all things
will be made known, we doubt not
fearful account Of destruction Of hu.
man life will be entered to the account
Of the grog-shops of our city.-New

SiNGULAR--On last Saturday morning,
the nhibtanfs of CarroIltOn woke up to
witness strange phenomenon. Rain
haf ftl en- during the night, and the earth
was covered with yellow substance re-
sembling su phur in appearance, hut with
out its odoriierous or igniting qualities.
What it was we could not say, further
than il was a very strange occurrence
Carrot (O) Free Press. ..,.s
This falling of yellow powder re-
sembling sulphur, mentioned above, on
the night of the 9th ult., seems to have
been quite general over the west and
south " est. Ii wars noticed ut GAINESVILLE,
Cincinnati, Louisville, ST Louis, NatcheI
and New Orleans. The Louisville Jour
nal poeticalIy speakes of the phenomena
as "rhe pollen of flowers which Spring
had despatched from the parterres Of the
south, " here she is now gamboling. as q
nssive to inform Us, that she, with all her
bright and beautiful train will be here in
a few days, to fill our hearts with joy,
and our valleys and hill-sides with ver-
'hure and with Howers.'1

The CoLUsA SETTLER DIFFICULTY
We saw IA private letter yesterday whic
stated that after the u S Marshal was re-
pulsed the settlers had returned and burned
the houses of Dr. Stoddard 1t "A so con
tanned the information that the rioters hid
defiance ro the officers Of the law. They
had handed together; expressed deter
mDation to fight it out if an attempt were
made To take them, and shou Il surrender
only with their lives. There were in the
original associati n about two hundred
men, as we are informed, but about one
hund ed had withdrawn from the cOnibl
nation. a sufficient number remain TO
make desperate resistance, as they are
Western men and well armed But MI
the resistance which can be offered will
prove fruit ess, un ess, indeed, the settlers
in the country should make common
cause, which would, in fact, be revolution
or civil war. AS it is, it presents the fea-
lures of New York anti-rent movement
and may prove as troublesome TO the
