it-throws spell over the spirit Of me drsmes.
An the great fear that's to be a disturbing Of me
pace, is that the divlish temperance boord wont,
in their dscraton, faal bound to grant thin lisans.

but simply names nothing more than polite way
of exprasion of the Legislature to the boord,
rather than or,hering positively to grant thim.-
An by me sowl if that beant it, an we are hard

divl bit of fun is it he saas, Roory is amoost
afraid to put hes fut amongst ye; an besure, the
likes O. him will lave yes as suddenly an quietly
as if sent for, or somebody's seek at home.
Why bliss the swate remembrance of it 1t is
refreshing. We used to see the people rearing
and petching and toorning summersets out of
their coats and breaches, an wading into each
other like petchforks and mate axes. Oh it was
as divarting as too see blind puppies petching
round in mate house. But now-and it graves
me sowl-lvery body walks along as paceful an
soberly as if meditating the MKT world, an the
whole town is in dare mourning for something,
an may be its for the deth Of lisans. Och, an it

Oh! this temperance anovation. Why me boy,

leddys, swate cratures, are we'll enough at quilt
ings an praching, but its an innovation to give up
laker an fun at the big gatherings for thin.
An beaut it slur On shame on this fraa coun-
thry, that it has KEN to that by of this tenn
perance, that the dacent part of the North Carli-
ma whosky makers are so squamish as to be
ashamed to bring it to sell amongst us. An it has
KEN to that, that moost Of our candidates are
