Prohibitory Law.

The opponents of the Maine Law offer but
two arguments. They say the law cannot be
enforced, and the attempt to enforce it only
enhances the evil it is intended to cure; and
that it should not be enforced, because it Vi
olates personal liberty. To the first the reply
is OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES it has been enforced
to some extent and that just so far as it has
been, crime and poverty have decreased
Vague and generalcontradictions of this state
ment are plentiful enough, but to no purpose.
Wherever the Prohibitcry Law has been en-
forced even incompletely, the statistics of
Crime uniformly show diminution in the
use of intoxicating drinks. This great stats
teal fact is not fortuitous, nor of doubtful
cause. 1t is not TO be silenced by contradlc-
ton. Figures must be met by figures. If

only one case out of score of others, for
several are in the same prediciment If we
do not have rain soon, there is no knowing
where the fires will end. Cattle are said to
be roaming about in search of food and wa

Gt5 HORACE GREELEY, concludes thus
beautifully, his address at the late Indiana
State Fair:
AS for me long tossed on the stormiest
waves of doubtful conflict and arduous en-
deavor, have begun to feel, since the shades
of forty years fell upon me, the weary, tenn
pest-driven voyager's longing for land, the
wanderers yearning for the hamlet where in
childhood he nestled by his mother knee, and
was soothed to sleep on her breast. The So
Der down hill of life dispels many illusions
while it develops or strengthens within us the
attachment, perhaps long smothered o, over
/ laid, "for that dear hut, our home" And so
/, in the sober afternoon of life, when its sun
if not high, is still warm, have bought me a
few acres of land in the broad still country,
and bearing thither my household tire; S Tres,
have resolved to steal from the City's labors
and anxieties at least one day in each week,
wherein to revive as a farmer, the memories
of my childhood's humble home. And al
ready | realize that the experiment cannot
cost so much as it is worth Already find
in that days quiet antidote and a solace fol-
the feverish fostering cares ofthe weeks which
environ it. Already my brook murmurs a
soothing eyen-song to my burning throbblne
brain; and my trees, gently stirred by the
fresh breezes, whisper to my spirit something
of their own quiet strength and patient trust
in God. And thus do family realize, but
for brief and fitting day, the serene JOY
which shall irradiate the Farmers vocation
when fuller and truer Education shall have
refined and chastened his animal cravings
and when Science shall have endowed hin
with her treasures, redeeming Labor from
drudgery while quadrupling its efficiency
GROWING with beauty and plenty, our boun
teous and beneficient Earth.
