Mr.. Rayner's Address.

We have received pamphlet copy of the
Address delivered before the North Carroll
ma State Agricultural Society, on the 10Th
of October last. by the Hon. Kenneth Ray
ner. The manner in which it is spoken of
by all the presses we have seen, is suth-
cient testimony of the high chaaacter OF the
work
We have room but for short extracts.
He speaks of our State as follows:
To come nearer home, as North Carroll
mans, we have no cause to feel ashamed
but rather to feel proud of the position we
occupy, in the great drama now being en-
acted on the theatre of christian civillza

weak, alike bow, men feel that they are
equals-that they are brothers. She arose
and offered him chair. He did not seem
to notice her, but advancing to the bed, he
gazed long, and anxiously on the ashy fea
lures Of the sufferer, while the tears chased
one another down bis cheeks then turn
ing away he threw himself into chair,
and wept with uncontrolled emotions.
This the reader may have guessed was
Mr.. Carlton. He came into the neighbor
hood, and inquired for William Carte,

probable cause The good woman where

Mrs. Carter stood gazing in silent aston

placing heavy purse in her hand, said:
take this, and let no expense be spared
for your husbands recovery | will cal

Before she had time to express he
gratitude or surprise he was gone.
The next morning William was better
the crisis had passed-the fever was gone
but he lay weak and helpless as babe
and but for the many comforts which tina
purse had procured he might have died
He grew stronger day by day; and at tn
end of week, he was sitting supported b
pillows in large arm chair. Mrs. Carte
approached the window and exclaimed:
There comes the stranger who gave yo
the purse ?
A minute more and he entered the room
Approaching William he grasped his han
and said earnestly y
'Thank heaven you are yet alive-th
you will live! If you had died | new
could have forgiven myself [ have con

DEAR SIR In my last promised to
consider in this letter, the various features
Of the present system of licensing men to
sell intoxicating liquors as beverage.
shall now attempt to fulfil that promise
It would be we'll first to ask why men have
to obtain license to begin this work. Men
are allowed to retail candy, sugar plums,
apples, oranges, tobacco, snuff, pork, beef,
snear. molassss, and all such things with
out the trouble Of getting license from the
County Court to do so. Why is this Isl
it not because of the great amount of evil
connected with the liquor traffic, that such
regulation has been introduced ! And
was it not with the view of throwing re-
straints upon the vice? As one evidence
that this was the case, an applicant IS
required to prove himself of good moral
character A saint was sent to watch the
devil lest sinner might let the chain play
out too long and the mischief be done IN
too short time. Now what has been the
practical working of the system An aris
tocracy in vice has been established. The
law has sanctifed the traffic by placing
good men (?) as its guardians Hence We
so often see the sickening sight Of SOM
: good man leading into Court a requisit
number of bloated inebriates, fresh from
their compotation gratis, to prove himse
a man Of good morals Yet the Coul
knows, and every body knows, that tn
good mans house has been, and will eor

: ouarreling, fighting, murder, and the rece
e ton of stolen corn constitute but sma
l. part of the evils Of this good mans hous

Q to build his fortune by making shipwre

O. tempt to iudict him for nuisance; 10 tn
N are met with the glaring fact that he we;
n a legal badge And this badge is e'
d, and anon used by the dram-seller as atok

tined to be the means Of disseminating IL

'On an occasion ike this, it should not
be forgotten, that it is to the benefcence
of kind Providence we are indebted, for
every blessing we enjoy. To His goodness
we owe the plentiful harvest that has du-
ring the present year, crowned the labors
