The Dead Mariner.
pY GEO. D. PRENTICE.

BY GEO. d. PRENTICE
SLEEP on--sleep on--above thy corse.
The winds their Sabbath keep
The wave is round thee-and thy breast
Heavcs with the heaving deep;
Der thee, mild eve her beauty filings;
And there the *aite,gull Fits her wings;
And the blue halcyon loves to lave
Her plumage in the holy wave.
Sleep on-no willow DER thee bends
With melancholy air,
No.violet springs, nor dcwy rose
Its soul of love lays bare;
But there the sca-flower bright and young
Is sweetly DER thy slumbers flung;
And, like q weeping mourner fair,
Tbs pale flag hangsrits, tresses there.
Sleep on-sleep on-thc glittcring depths
Of oceans coral waves
Are thy bright urn-thy requiem
The music of its waves $
The purple gems for ever burn
In fadcless beauty round thy urn;
And. pure and deep as infant love.
The blue sea rolls its waves above.
Sleep on-sleep on-the fearful wrath
OF mingling cloud and deep,
May leave its wild and stormy track
Above thy place of sleep,
But when the wave has sunk to rest,
As Low twill murmur DER thy breast;
And the bright victims of the sea
Perchance will make their homo with thco.
Sleep on-thy corse is far away,
But love bewails thee yet
For thee the heart-wrung sigh is brcathed,
And lovely eyes are wet:-
And she, the young and beauteous bride,
Her thoughts are lowering by thy side;
As oft she turns to view with tears
The Eden of departed years.

Mr.. EDITOR - Having few leis.
ure moments, | thought would pen
a few thoughts for the consideration
of your readers. Yours being
Temperance paper, of course my re-
marks will be on that subject. The
temperance question is a hackneyed
one. 1t has been a subject for all
classes to descant upon. The school
boy of ten, and the sage philosopher
of sixty, have made this subject to
write and speak upon. The ground
appears all to have been travelled over;
the subject has been presented in all
its phases; there is nothing left for
me, then, but to present few thoughts
for their reconsideration.
That the question is an important
one, and demands a careful and can,
did consideration, no one will deny.
It is important from several consid-
erations. 1t is important, because it
very materially affects the morals of
the community. Vice of all grades
emanates from intemperance ; it is its
foster parent. It fills our State

Tribute Of Respect.

NATHAN HAYWOOD late of Goshen Cler-
mont Co. Ohio, died in peace on the night
of the 18th of June, 1853. He was born
10 the State of Massachusetts,, February
18th, l777, and about thirty four years
ago, he emigrated to Ohio and became a
citizen of this place. The popular seHti-
nent of that day, that there is'no harm in
the use of a little spirituous liquor, like
other deceptives of this enemyto temper
ance, became the source of great mortifi-
cation, but on sober reflection and deep hu-
initiation was succeed by genuine reforma.
tion. In 1912. he joined the Washingto-
nian Temperance Society, and on February
9th Of that year was elected President Of
that society in this place, in which office
he served efficiently and acceptably for
eight years. And when it was thought
advisable to organize Division of the Sons
of Temperance in the place, he became one
of the signers Of the charter of Goshen
Division No. 46, granted March 18th 1876,
and in this Order, ne filed the chair for
four terms,,an seldom if ever was out of
Office, being the Treasurer at the time of
his death.
Alta regular meeting Of Goshen Division
No. 46, S. of T, ON the 25th day Of June
1853, the following resolutions were unan-
imously adopted.
Whereas, 1t has pleased Divine Proyi-
dence to take from our brotherhood our as.

much Importance, and fraught with
SO many blessings to every member Of
society, be thrown overheard, merely
to CRAFTY our party Prejudicesl God
forbid Let every man look little
to his own and his country's interest,
and not so much to the interest of
party leaders.
Is not the question that involves
the morals Of our whole community
the question Of the prohibition Of
traffic that destroys thousands Of our
citizens yearly; that endangers the
lives, the happiness, and prosperity of
ourselves and families that creates
vast amount Of tax for the people to
pay--Of more Importance than any or
all Of the questions now at issue be-
tween the parties Reason and COM
mon sense say US. The wives and
families Of the drunkard say yes; our
interest says yes; every thing says
yes.
Then WHY SO 10th to adopt the only
means by which the evil Of intem-
perance can be removed Do you
want ofice2 The man that makes
the questions now at issue between the
parties, of more importance than the
temperance question, shows unmis-
taxable signs Of being an Office seeker.
That is in his eye he sees nothing
else; he is blind, perfectly blind, to
the wants Of the public. Self is al
ways first. Mark my word: if any
thing defeats the adoption of the
Maine Liquor Law, it will be wire
working politicians; men protesting
friendship to the cause, yet so firmly
drilled that they DARE NOT kick out Of
the traces, lest they be LAsHED in
again. 0, where is your indepen-
dence? Where is your boasted free
dom? Gone 10 the bats and moles!
would not have one party alone
adopt the temperance principle. |
would have all adopt it. ! would
have it understood that no man of
either party could get the votes Of the
FREE MEN of Ohio, unless pledged to
the temperance cause. This under
stood, there is no danger that either
party will present for cur suffrages a
man opposed 10 our principles. They
dare not do it. They love to have
their hands=in the public crib too well
for that.
Could we have the opportunity, as
did the MichigOnders. to vote for
law similar to the Maine Law, l
would have no fear as to the result.
We would pass it, as they did, but
with a much larger majority. Would
to God we had the opportunity of
voting for such law.

will therefore close with the best
wishes for the success Of the cause.

matt, an eminent speaker and veteran
in the cause Of temperance, was now
introduced to and addressed the Con-
vention. He spoke of the firm and
steady progress of the temperance re-
formation; he animadverted upon the
Legislation of past years, exposing the
absurdity of all attempts to regulate
great evil by giving it legal sanction;
he gave scathing review Of the do
ings Of the last Legislature of the State
of Ohio, which he said. had among its
members thirty-fve gamblers and
forty drunkards; he spoke Of tn 'ir dis.
regard of all the great interests Of the
State, their contempt for the petitions
of the people of their sheep-wash-
ing amendments" introduced by Les
ter Bliss, the present candidate of the
Democratic party for Lieutenant Gov
ernor, Of their ulpable squandering
of the peoples money, and Of heir
Bacchanalian orgies, at which toasts
were drank to the Savior Of the World,
more sacrilegious than the drinking of
wine out of the holy vessels at Bel
shazzar's impious feastin Babylon, in
the midst of which the King looked
up and read his political damnation on
the wall, and the glory Of Babylon
departed forever. He also spoke Of
the Maine Liquor Law-of its simpi-
city, its justice, its efficacy and its
constitutionality; he said the people
had wiIled it, and that they would
have and enforce a similar law in its
provisions tothe Liquor Law of Maine;
and in conclusion, he declared, that
although he had been a strong and de-
voted party man, yet, that in future
the temperance question with him
should be paramount to all others,
and doubted not that the same senti-
ment would find an echo in the hearts
of the people.
Then, on motion, a Committe con-
sisting of DIR. G. F. Birdsall, of Paint
ersvilIe, Rev. T. A. t.. Phillips, of
jamestown, James Johnson, Esq, of
Port William, and John Tiff, Of Cedar
vile, was appointed to select proper
place for, and to call Mass Maine
| Liquor Law Convention, to be con-
tinued two days, and to meet on the
first Saturday of Septemt er next.
And lastly, on motion, the secreta-
ries were directed to furnish copies of
the proceedings of this Convention to
the Ohio Temperance Organ, West
ern Christian Advocate, Xenia Torch
Light, Herald of Freedom, and Gin
ton Republican, requesting the Editors
of those papers to publish the same,
and to make the same request of the
editors of other papers friendly to the
cause; and thereupon the Convention

Rev. T. A. G. Phillips, Chairman oi

reported the following, which, on mo.
ton, were received and adopted by
the Convention:
1st. ResOlVed, That it is the sense
Of this Convention that the importa-
tion, manufacture, sale, and use o.
Intoxicating drinks as beverage, have
poured a deluge of evil upon ourcoun.
try, and can never be suppressed un
less we are united in our plans anC
efforts.
cd. Resolved, That the Maine Ii
Quor Law is not only constitutions
and compatible with our free and re-
publican institutions, but is also il
harmony with the teachings and in
functions with the Word of God.
Sd. Resolved, That the Legislation
in this and other States has ever faileC
to regulate the evils growing out o
the liquor traffic, and that our only
alternative is to eGtermin0te them BY
stringent legal prohibition.
4th. RESOLVED, That as citizens 0
Ohio, we feel ourselves bound BY
patriotism, by philanthrophy, and By
the solemn obligations of Christianity
to vote for no candidate for the Legis
lature who is not pledged to the Main,
Liquor Law, and in whose temperanc,
profession and integrity we have no
the security for the fulfllment of sucl
pledge.
