WHEREAS, it seeming to be the prevailing
opinion among vast number Of our fell
low citizens that the Good Templars en-
mGSSs are studiOusly engaged in endeav-
oring te obtain the passage of a prohibi-
tory Licence Law similar to the one now
in force in the State of Maine, in this
State, and having been actually charged
without any exceptions of being now
preparing for the election of 1856 to uc-
complish our infdelity" by a Saint (?)
who figured in the Glasgow Times of
February 9Th, 1855, over the signature
of christian" Therefore be it resolved
by the Milan l. 0. Of Good Templars,
LIST. That we as an order believe the
passage of a prohibitory Law impolitic at
the present, (if it should be otherwise in
Missouri) and that we are not fostering
Legislation on the Liquor Traffic in tbs least,
but are simply trying to win subjects of
"King Alcohol from the utter ruin to which
they are fast tending, by moral persuasion
into our order.
End. That we look upon the communi-
cation to which reference has been made in
the above preamble, as being pernicious in
its character and misrepresenting the OBJ
iects the l. o. of Good Templars have in
view.
3rd. That the above preamble and reso-
lutions be signed by our w. c. T. s. w. S.
and copy be forwarded to the Glasgow
Times for publication, and other papers
throughout the State be requested to copy
same.

From Mexico.

An earthquake on the 1st and End, did
some damage to the city Of Mexico. Some
old walls were thrown down. Much dam
age was done at Puerto Banco, and the ac-
queducts at San Cosone Belen, were split in
many places. The government thought it
necessary to have the public buildings exam
ined.
From statement which appeared in the
Vera Cruz and City of Mexico papers it is
evident that the revolutionists are gaining
ground, and q rumor is credited that a pro-
visional government had been Termed at
Acapulco, with Gen. Alvarez at IFS head
The reveutionists at Tehauntepec had de-
clared in favor of Alvarez, and it was re.
ported that the government troops had sus-
tanned a signal defeat at Childango, where
Gen. Bahimonda was taken prisoner and
shot. 1t was reported also that considera-
Bile force Of revolutionists had been defeated
at Sepotlan.
The D,ario Official publishes dispatches
announcing that Col. Francesca Sanchez had
been routed by Gen. Antonio Solgado and
his forces on the 22d, at Zaguelpa, and on
the Oath the forces under Huerto and Pa
bleto, more than 1900 in number, after a
contest which lasted about half day were
compelled to retreat before him, leaving
on the field upwards of 80 dead, their arms
and horses.

An Anecdote.

The United States Senate was engaged
on January goth, in considering a bill for
the relief of Commodore Thos. App Gates
by Jones. Commodorc Jones was tried by
Naval Court Martial and suspended from
his command without pay. The bill pro-
poses the payment of the salary thus with
held, in consideration Of the previous dis
tinguished services, and present advanced
age Of the gallant Commodore. During his
advocacy of the bill, Mr.. Clayton narrated
an interesting incident in the history of the
War of 1912. While the barbarian soldie-
ry were destroying the Capitol at Washing,
ton, an officer of the British Navy mounted
the pedestal of the Navy Monument, on tn,
West front Of the Capitol, and snatching the
pen from the hand OF the statue of History
exclaimed, that the American Navy had nc
History to write. At the battle Of New Or,
leans this same British offieer fell, pierced

The San Diego Herald has the following
very sensible remarks OH Lower Califor-
nia
A rumor has been current here, for the
past week, that the people of Lower Cali
fornia were about to make demonstration
to secure their independence of the Mexi-
can confederation. AS this rumor may have
the effect to bring down from the upper
counties horde of cut-throats and robbers,
who may consider this fit opportunity to
exercise their lawless vocations, we deem
it proper to notify such persons as may be
attracted TO this point by the of plunder, that
there is no sensible or sane man in the whole
Of Lower California who has for moment
entertained such thought as "DeclAra-
tion of Independence" Even if the people
desired it, they have not the pecuniary or
physical ability TO sustain an independent
Government for the space of six months.

KNowLEDGE.-How beautiful and exat-
ed are the following sentiments of De Witt
Clinton:
pleasure is shadow, wealth is vanity,
and power, pageant; but knowledge is &C.
static in enjoyment, perennial in fame, un-
limited in space, and infinite in duraion.-
In the performances of its offices it fears no
danger, spares no exercise, omits no eXer-
tion. 1t scales the mountain, looks into the
volcano, dives into the ocean, perforates the
earth, encircles the globe, explores the sea
and land, contemplates the distant, ascends
to the sublime! No place too remote for its
grasp, no heaven too exalted for its reach."

CoSTLY ENTERTAINMENTs.-A Philadel-
phia letter writer says: "The principal
topic of conversation here now is the mag
uifcent party given here last week by Mrs
Rush, the we'll known millionaire. About
two thousand invitations were issued, and
the entire cost of the entertainment, / an
informed, was in the vicinity oftwenty thou
sand dollars, the bare item of boquets alone
costing one thousand dollars, which were
distributed in elegant profusion around hel
splendid mansion. 1t was nothing but
one incessant revelling in luxury from be
ginning to end. AT half past four in th'
morning green tea, sweet bread and terra
pins, as the closing feast preparatory to tn
departure of the remaining guests, wer
served up"

WRITTEN AT MY MOTHERS GRAVE


The trembling dew-drops fall
Upon the shutting flowers, like souls at rest;
The stars shine gloriously, and all,
Save me is blest
Mother, I love thy gravel
The violet with its blossoms blue and mild,
Waves o'er thy head-when shall it wave
Above thy child.
IT'S a sweet flower, yet must
Its bright leaves to the coming tempest bow;
Dear mother, 'ts thine emblem-dust,
Dust on thy brow!
And I could love TO die,
To leave untasted life's dark, bitter streams,
By thee, as erst in childhood, lie,
And share thy dreams.
And must linger here,
To stain the plumage of my sinless years,
And mourn the hopes of childhood dear,
With bitter tears?
Aye, must linger here,
lonely branch upon blasted tree,
Whose last frail leaf, untimely scar,
Went down with thee?
OFT from life's withered bower.
In still communion with the past turn,
And muse on thee, the only flower
In memory's urn.
And, when the evening pale
Bows like mourner on the dim blue wave,
lstray to hear the night winds wall
Around thy grave.
Where is thy spirit flown?
gaze above-thy look is imrgcd there;
Ilsten-and thy gentle tone
Is on the air.
Oh come, while here press
My brow upon thy grave and, in those mild
And thrilling tones of tenderness,
Bless, bless thy child!
Yes, bless thy weeping child
And o'er thine urn-religion's holest shrine
Oh, give his spirited undeiiled,
To blend with thine,

A Live Administration.

The Pierce administration still retains
some vitality. Its latest evidence of power
that we have noticed is the removal from
Office of Mr.. ]. H. Lockard, Postmaster at
Buena Vista, near Madison, Ind. As Mr.
Lockard was true and consistent democrat
his dismissal from office has caused no little
indignation among men of all parties within
the delivery of the office. The reason as
signed for the decapitation is that Mr.. L.
is Nothing. The emouments oi
the office were only about sixteen dollars
per annum.

A Wise Mans Advice.

lfthere be those among US, misled by
o sympathy, or BY sudden excitement, upon
any subject, are forgetting their obligations
to the whole country, to the Constitution and
the Union, lei us use every effort Of per-
suasion and example to awaken them to q
sense of their dangerous error. If those
who, for the sake of private interest, per-
sonal ambition, or momentary political sue
cess, are willing to experiment upon the
public passions, to treat lightly the const-
tutional obligations, TO foment sectional jeal-
ousies and raise up geographical distinctions
within the Union, let the absence Of our
countennnce convince such, that the per-
sonal qualification of public service Of any
living man are not objects of sufficient mag
nitude to be gained at the expense Of the
harmony of the country, the peace of the
Union, or single letter in the list of our
constitutional duties. If among US there DO
any, which Heaven forbid, who are prepar-
ed for any earthly object to dismember our
confederacy and destroy our constitution
which binds us together, let the fate Of Ar
mold be theirs, and let the detestation and
scorn Of every American be their constant
companions until like him, they shall a.
bandon a country whose rich blessings they
are no longer worthy to enjoy,-[silas
