CooL.-Ifyou see your creditor across the
way, march boldly up to him-face to face !;
if he is about to stop you, show that you
wish to stop him, and don't forget to hope
his gout is better. Remember that he will
remind you that you promised to pay him a
fortnight ago, don't let him catch you nap
ping-hint to him that he neglected to send
in his bill, and that it mast be presented on
the fifteenth pror. You needn't stay at home
that day-an urgent call in the country to
see sick relative should claim your atten-
ton, &c,

ENEMIEs.-Never mind; go straight for
ward and pay no attention to them. If they
crowd In your path, walk round them with"
out notice. Bless God that you have ene-
mics; if you have not you are not worth
leather cent-ynu're made of wet mSd and
can be worked by all manner of filthy hands,
A man of golden worth-one who dares to
think for himself, is sure of host of enemies,
they keep him alive and awake. An emf
nent author used to say of his multitudinous
enemies: "They are sparks, which if you
do not blow, will go out themselves" Let
the poor, envious fools talk till they are hOarse
as screech Owls-do you go straight forward
IN an upright course and in after years somo
of the most virulent will cover at your feet
penitent minions.

"The Maine LIQUOR Law"

Under this head, the Editor of the Raleigh |
spicuous place in his editorial columns, two
extracts-one from editorial in the New
York Express, and the other an editorial
from the Boston Transcript-both declaring
the execution of this law in the State of
Maine to be a failure, that 3" its effect upon
the community is bad" and that I" there is
now more general use of intoxicating drinks
throughout the State than was ever before
known" We have not been in the State of
Maine, as these Editors have been, and are
therefore unable to say whether these start
| ling assertions arc true but we can in all
truthfulness add-sucA testimony Is at utter
Uariance aoth euery statement aCe haze seen IN
our Temperance exchanges acith regard to the
operations Of the laW in the State Of Maine =
We are determined if possible, to learn the
true state of the case, and have therefore for
warded to the Mayor of the City of Portland
a copy Of these extracts, and asked Of him a
candid response as to the truthfulness Of
the assertions contained therein. We dc
not know whether the Mayor is friend OF
opponent of the law but as an honest man WI
presume he will give US the .tactsin the case
we therefore forbear any comments on tn,
subject until we receive the Mayors answer
When eread the extracts in the Standard, WI
could not help asking ourself this question
:" IF the testimony of these Editors hac
been in favor Of the faithful execution of tn
law, and of the great good it was accomplish
ing in the State, would Mr.. Holden hav
been as ready to give it prompt and conspic
uous notice as he has been in this instance9'

Needwe appeal to the philanthropist and
Christian to throw their influence in favor Of
our cause? If the wo which exists in this
land of plenty, the distress which canalways
be seen in our cities, all the offspring of the
licensed sale Of ardent spirits-be INSULT
cient to touch your hearts, we should appeal
in vain. More eloquently than the dumb
mouths Of Caesars bleeding body, these objects
cry for relief.
Need parents be solicited to join the great
army of temperance reform? Your sons
walk amid snares and hidden pit falls
While you hesitate, they may be lost to you,
to society, to their country. Can the patriot
hesitate which course to choose? Intemper-
ance is sapping the foundation Of the state.
The ballot-box is no longer pure. Legisla-
ton is conducted under the influence ofthe
inebriating wine-cup. Where will tho end
be but public, national ruin, if present GUS
oms are not overthrown?

An Appeal.

In rejecting upon the present condition of
the Temperance cause, its friends and its op-
ponentS. we are reminded ofa great reforma-
Bacon, loud sounding. boastful philosophy
prevailed. Among its disciples were Socra-
tes, Plato and others, whose names as men
of genius will be forever held in reverence,
but who, though spending their whole lives
in discussions on the dignity of human ma
ture and the ennobling and exalting influence
of the doctrines of their several schools, con-
tributed little to the improvement of the mass
of their immediate disciples. 1t was reser-
we'd FOR Bacon to ovcrturn those false systems
and substitute III their stead philosophy,
founded upon facts. upon actual perception
and knowledge. and adapting itself to the ca
pacities and wants Of man. Bacon's object
was the relief Of mans estate, the multipli-
cation of human Onjoymehts, and the mitiga-
ton of human sufferings.' We claim that
the Sons of Temperance are advancing in tho
road marked out by that great English phi
losopher, whilst we are compelled to class
many by whom we are surrounded with the
followers of those exploded systems. From
these last, we hear constant eulogies on our
institutions, encomiums on the high stand
of our literature, and professions of devotion
to our divine religion; and yet they stand
aloof and survey, some with Indifference.
some with aversion, this movement which will
contribute much to perpetuate our institutions,
chasten, elevate our literature and remove
barrier more formidable to the progress ofthe
Christian religion than the combined powers
Of infdelity. To all such we would say, join
with us in our plain, simple device for anne
liorating the condition Of our fellow men, and
we will style you benevolent assist US in re-
moving from our country's mantle the only
h stain which darkens it, and we will style you
! patriotic; lend US your aid to prepare men
O for the reception of divine influences, and we
will style oufriends of the Christian religion
