1t reaches abroad TO others; invades the
family social circles, and spreads woe and

The Maine Li1uor Law.

Mr.. Stevenson, of Boston, iii the Massachu-
sets Legislature, in his speech on the Maine
Law, uses the following language:
portray the evils of Intenperance did
say? He does not live that can tell the whole
story of its woes. Exaggeration there, is i'm
possible. The fatgued fancy fancy falters in
its flight before it comes up to the fact. The
minds eve cannot take in the countless miseries
Of its motley train. No human art can put into
that picture shades darker than the truth. Put
into such picture every conceivable thing that
is terrible or revolving; paint health in ruins,
hope destroyed, affections crushed, prayer ST.
fenced; paint the chosen seats Of paternal care,
of fial piety. of brotherly love, of maternal de-
voton, all, all vacant; paint all the crimes of ev-
cry hue, from murder standing aghast over the
grave, which it has no means to cover, down 10
the meanest deception, still confident of success;
paint home a desert, and shame tyrant and
poverty the legitimate child OF vice in this com
munity, and not its prolific mother; paint the
dark valley Of the shadow of death, peoples
with living slaves; paint landscape Of freed
whose fruit is poison and whose shade is death
with mountain torrents tributary TO an ocean
whose waves are fire; put in the most distant
background the vanishing vision of blessed
past, and into the foreground the terrible Ger.
tainiy Of an accursed future; paint prison door:
that only open inward; people the scene Will
men whose shattered forms are tenanted by
tormented souls, with children upon whose lip,
no smile can play, with women into whose
cheeks burrows have been burnt by tears wrunl
by anguish from breaking hearts Paint such
picture, and when you are ready TO show it, d.
not let in the rays of the heavenly sun; but il
lume it with the glares ofinfernal fires and still
you will be bound TO say that your horrible pic
lure falls short of the truth" ..-
