Everything animate inanimate upon the face Of our
globe, is stamped with that unelaceabe MOTTO change
1t is with mingled feelings of pain and pleasure that we
observe this phenomena, and in many instances do
ponder upon the manner in which this change shall ter
inmate In our State and in most others, it is the
tom of young men when they arrive the age of eighteen
twenty years. to launch their ai bark upon the wild
and unecng waters of the world and little do they think
that habits then formed will such lasting influence
their future welfare Let go to the paternal
mansion and mark that young man about to leave his
home. His kind mother with fearful eyes, and bis father
in affecting Tone allure him not to be ledby disspat
ed companions or wine bbbers lie tells his parents not
to give themselves any anxiety about him, for he
shall indulge in such habits. But let follow him to
his home in the city There surrounded by vice and i'm
morality his pure heart still remains untainted. He
soon becomes acquainted with the clerks in the same es
tablishmen with which he is connected and having for
med good opinion of them he in their society and
they introduce him into the various places of amusement
They 90 into saloon and call for wine but he refuses to
drink Still they urge him till the fatal glass is poised
hs lips He thinks of his promise at home and views it
in the light of idle restraints then drinks and from that
time change is perceptbe But need not trace its
course for is too well known to need description Suf
fee it to say that young dies drunkard and fills
drunkards gravel. Young men, your prospects may
be fair but remember from the time you take the first
glass there will be a change.

Temperance Vote of Brattleboro.

Mrs Nichols, I think the friends of Temperance in
Brate6oro may feel quite encouraged at the result of the
recent vote the Liquor Law-the vote being 296 yeas
to III nays, giving majority of 119 in favor of the law.
For it is to be remembered that not than half
of the adult Inhabitants of the town expressed their opn
ion of the law at the ballot box The entire vote was
ALB. Now Of the other not to say bcter half of the
inhabitants. If the town who did not yote may safely
reckon nne-enths friends of the law The real ma
ority of persons twcnyone years Of age in favor OF
the law may therefore be set down at 49 for had that
othx portion of the inhabitants of the town been at the
ballot box express their opinion (and who in every
respect much interested in the law those who
there) the vote would have stood 721 yeas 224 nays
And may safely calculate that in every part of the
State the result would have been similar, had all the
people of lawful age given their votes
Thus do see that the people Of Vermont in favor
of the Liquor Law recently enacted by the Legislature,
by an overwhelming majorty there being than
three to in favor of it. This certainly is Il most en-
phac expression of public opinion. And with such
majority in favor of the law who doubt that it will
be faithfully executed, and be an exceedingly popular
statute with the independent and intelligent citizens of
Vermont? MEMO.
