that the ladies Of F.llsw ,rth We're engaged in
good earnest in the temperance rcsprm.-
l, speaks well for the ladies Individually
i, speaks well for Ellsworth, i; speaks well
for the cause OF temperance. Let them but
p,rs we're bearing the banner loce with witch
they are most pt tent and success will crown
their efforts When woman's entreaties arr
Intellectual petty fines are impotent, and IaiiS
will not suffice She is the foundation ot
our government, and in her alone is the abili-
ty to stay the tide Of incompetence which is
making such rapid strides against tho we'll
being of the people OF Maine. Deplorable
indeed is the condition Of him who bushes
the voice of conscience. an! refuses to listen
to the cntrcatics OF a priycrful mother, de-
voted wife, or a loving sister, and persists
in visiting the low GROCERY or the mere r.
spectacle hell.
The Ellsworth ladies well merit the motto
of our State, and doubt not they will prove
themselves woi thy of the motto BY inducing
many who have embarked on the road to .
drunkards grave, 10 return 10 the path Of
temperance aud virtue. Truly, u star has
arisen in the east. Gov.
