The Right of Prohibition

The Right OF Prohibition
The first grand objection which the
friends of temperance meet with, in al
tempting to use legal means in put
ting down the liquor traffic, is that it
is an Infringement upon liberty; and
so strenuously is this objection op-
posed to the work Of reform that it
becomes serious impediment, and
candor and fairness require that the
objection be fairly met, in spirit Of
kindness, but frmness; for if there
ever was case of public policy that
required a desperate remedy to reform
it, we have that case. One thing is
very certain, and that is, that the
right to enact prohibitory law either
exists or does not exist. IF it does
not exist, then the whole fabric Of hui
man laws and governments is without
foundation. But, in order to arrive
at conclusions in a shorter and plain
er way, let us inquire little into the
y nature of this thing called liberty.

A Man Buried in a Well.

In reading recently an excellent article
from the pen Of Mrs. Gage, entitled, f" A
man in the WE'LL" we were reminded of
startling incident that occurred in this city
q few months since, and that we had made
a minute Of at the time, with the design of
further comment.
We were passing from our Office to our
residence, and noticing few people gath
cred in a yard ON Main street, but suppos-
ing the cause matter of ordinary interest,
made no stop. A hand from the Office soon
came in with the startling intelligence that
man was buried in a well. We shall
never forget the sensations that crept over
US like freezing chill, and then into the
heart, with choking, almost suffocating
force. Twelve feet Of sandy earth upon the
victim Hope died within us, and we in
voluntarily shut our eyes upon the scene
which flashed across the mind. Buried
alive The tale was too horrible, and yet
clung like nightmare to every thought.
The news spead with lightning speed, and
on our return, dark masses of people were
wedged around the spot. And still the
brief but terrible words flashed from lip to
lip, and the wildly excited living mass
poured into the yard and broke like waves
around the dense crowd. We leaned upon
the fence and watched them as they came,
for we have not the brass to run over men, !,
women and children, when we can accom-
plish no good by such rudeness. Old and
young, the officer and the citizen, the cold
featured land-shark and the labOrer-moth-
ers, wives and children, catered with a
startled look. Little was said, but the
compressed lip and the eager eye told how
much all felt, A son of the buried man was
walking the yard in restless agony. 1t was
scene which We never wish to look upon
again.
In the mean time, strong arms were ply
ing the shovels with that energy which ever
honors our common humanity on such Oc
casiOns. The hot sun beat fercely down
and the sweat rolled from the bronzed fea.
lures, but hundreds of hands were ready tC
relieve, and every mans soul throbbing in
the blade. The yielding sand would Otter
break in, and an audible sigh would stil
the silent crowd. Timbers were put in
and the work continued INCREASINGLY. 81
eager were the freuzied and foolish people
to obtain a view of the spot, there there wa
constant danger of filling up faster thar
the shoVels could throw out, and no effort
could beat them back.
After hours of hard digging, there was
low, yet strangely distinct murmur raj
through the crowd, and the dense mas
swayed like waves lifted by some magi
power. We shall never forget the moment
He's Gtiue--they hear him speak" We in
voluntarily Strengthened up from the fenc
where we were leaning, and with glanc
heavenward, drew deep, long breath
"He's aLiUe" The excitement was sti
more intense. The son wept afresh as b

From The Wesis n Eengelis
Ny Cottage Home.


~ dreamed dream the other night,
WheA everything waa stu,
/ thought saw my cottage White
Upon yon floWry hill
The rr.ss-nlOt green before the door,
Tho porch with vines o'ergrouh,
Were lovely as they were before,
when that home was my own.
Oh Rumseler,
That home, that home Of thine,
That pleasant home, that happy homes
That cottage home was mine.
The gravelsd walk, 80 white and straight,
with flower banks on each side,
That led down 10 the wicket gate
where Willie used TO ride
The lOcusts DER the path that grew
The willow bOughs that sWayed,
All told me with a tongue e'er true,
That there my Mary played.
Oh Rumseller, &c.
The silver lake, 90 calm and clear.
Along whose banks I've strayed
So often with my Lucy dear
To watch the sunlight iadei
The brook that, purling, sWeetly ran
The garden foot along,
And murmuring iount, as bright as then,
Still sung the same loved song.
Obi Rumseller, &c.
The window towards the garden gate
That looked out on the west,
Where that lov'd being used to wait,
Who made my home 80 blest,
Was closed--the sombre curtains hung,
And no loved face was there;
Nor voice, the evening song that sung.
Or breathed the morning prayer.
Oh Rumseller, &c.
Silence hung round that happy home,
Where once so light and free,
My laughing children used to come
And dance upon my knee;
Where she who was that homes dear Light,
In constant beauty shone-
Around that cheerful hearthstone bright,
ALI now was still and lone,
Oh Rumseller, &c.
Yes, that loved wife has gone to rest,
In death her heart is bound;
Her babes are sleeping on her breast,
Beneath yon grassy mound;
And am wandering lone and stranged,
Nor master Of my will,
My home, my cottage home ID changed
To hut behind the still.

OUNCE the above advertisement was inserted, ,
~ the Department has determined 10 modify the
terms OF the proposed contract as follows, to wit:
The raft shall not be considered as removed
until the river, throughout the entire space now
obstructed by it, shall have continued open and
navigable by steamboats, during at least one entire
high water season. The final inspection of the
work shall therefore not take place until one year
after the same shall have been reported as appa-
rently completed. If, at the expiration of this
year, the officer officers char ed with the in
spection shall report that the river has continued,
or has, by the Efforts of the contractor been kept
open and unobstructed by the raft, the twenty per
cent. retained as above shall be paid over to the
contractor. But if, at any time during said year,
the navigation should be INSTRUCTED by the raft,
the contractor shall be bound, at his own EXPENSE
to remove said obstructon and if he fail to do So
the Department shall have the right to apply the
twenty per cent, or SO much thereof as may be
necessary to effect said removal
All papers which have inserted the fret adyer
tsement, will insert this in every issue until the
