Adnlterated Liquors.

We suppose we can hardly get a hearing
from a liquor-seller few ifany O them read
lineage, though every page of it would be
sod for their health. 1t ought to be gene
rly known, however, that our last Legis-
lasre passed a stringent law against the man.

llquos. The bill provides that persons adul-
%teratine liquors. sp~irituous, vinous or malt

or offering to sell recipes for adulterating IL
quors, shall be deemed guilty ola misdemean-
or, and on conviction shall be fined and i'm
prisoned, one or both, at the discretion of the
Court.
Now, we are anxious that the whole tribe
of liquor-dealers in the State should under
stand this, and that they should be careful to
avoid its infraction. We suppose there are
few in the State, who have engaged in the
business of adulterating, yet there are many
not too good to go at it, and the means of do.
ing so are within their reach. But how
much of the liquor imported into the State
and sold, is unadulterated Can there be a
on~e-hundredth part of the large quantity
brought into and consumed in the State. pure
liquor? We doubt it. Perhaps ninety-nin,
one-hundredths of it is impure, unwholesom,
and contrary to law. But who cares? 1
will all make drunk come, and the vender
will make the money. Yet the law positivel,
forbids it, and subjects every violation to
severe penaly. The vendors of this misera
bic stuff may not knoU it, nor do they car
to know, yet it is important to the>health
our people, that the law shall be enforced. =
The law is a severe one, and makes the busi
ness of dealing in liquor hazardous, but tn
State is full of dram-shops and liquor hole
where many will carry on this traffic wit
out stint. What if thousands are made drunI

What if it beggars women and children, ar

For the Spirit of the Acc.
ALONE.

The night was calm and pleasant, and eve
ry thing was huShed and still. A soft heecy
cloud which had obscured the moons bright
rays, disappeared, and a flood of silvery light
bathed IN glory that fair and beauteous scene.
A youth and maiden upon whose countenan-
ces the radiant light of hope and happiness,
beamed brightly, were talking of the future.
They were betrothed lovers, and then about
to be separated. They felt sad, yet they look
ed forward with delight to the hour when
they should meet to part no more.n At
last he must leave her she has pressed his
last lingering kiss upon her cheek, and he is
gone! Now indeed, gentle girl, thou art all
alone. Long years will pass ere you behold
him whom you now love so fondly, and then
another may claim the love that you would
give a world to possess. "Such is life p
kneeling beside a newly made grave sits
a lone woman listen to her as she utters her
%agonizing prayer. "Father, mother, husband,
children, all are gone and | am left alone
with none to love me, and no one to love-
Oh! God, be merciful to the widow and or
phan take me-, oh Father, take me to thee
Once she had been a beautiful happy GIRL
No cloud of sorrow cast a gloom anon her
spirits but at last her mother, and then her
father was taken from her. Then her chill
dren dropped and died, and now she had seen
him buried, upon whom she had bestowed
her hearts hottest treasure. She had made
an idol of him, and God, in his jealousy. took
him away. She had worshipped him as only
the Creator should be adored, and now she
was left alone, all alone!
Away back in an old rickety building, on
a bed of straw, lay a still young and beautiful
woman. The brilliant light in her eve, and
the hectic flush, told too truly that the de-
stroyer was at work. The hand of death was
upon her, yet ever and anon she appeared TO
listen as if expecting some familiar ~footstep.
At last in despair she exclaimed-ssto die SO
young, and oh ! God to die all alone! No
loving hand to clasp mine no friend near to
whisper words of tenderness, or to cheer me
as ! pass down the dark valley Of the shadow
of death" Oh! Intemperance! this is your
work; to this you have brought me-"
Young, beautiful and talented, she had
been the reigning belle in her circle. She
became acquainted with one, whose ~fascina-
ting manner soon won her gentle heart. For
a time all went well. Soon alas! the tempt
or came, and in a few short years her hus-
band was a %penniless drunkard. And there
IN that lowly room, the once proud belle. was
! dying. Dying all alone! with none to hear
her breathe her last sigh, while he who sbould
have been by her side, was disappearing his
Maker or drinking that ''liquid fire. which
consumes both body and soul.

The Hardships of Woman.

1t is a universally admitted fact, that in the
uncivilized and semi-barbarian conditions of
our race, woman is a degraded being-a slave,
a serf to the sterner sex. 1t has been the
boast of Christianity, that wherever it's be-
nign influences have been felt, there woman
has been elevated to her true position, and
placed on terms of equality with man. This
has especially been assumed as the position
of woman, in Great Britain and the United
States, as well as among other nations where
intelligence and refinement prevail. But
stubborn facts show, that this assumption
must be made with much qualification, even
in our land, where her position is perhaps
most elevated, and where the laws of the
State and the conventional rules of society,
give her most protection.
A small class of our American females. are
, csrt"inly held in high position. Those who
gence, nigh pretensions to birth, to position
and personal outward attractions, are too fire.
quently made puppets or demi-goddesses of,
who come readily to perceive they can use
the sterner sex to their purposes, and whose
lives are spent in the whirl of fashion, and
alas too often exc out their existences with
out accomplishing one useful purpose; pollu-
ted and polluting, they end their days in sad
ness and remorse. Another class, reared un-
der good influences, endowed with intelligence
and adorned with virtue, they take their true
position in society, and become the honored
wives and mothers of the land; blessed and
blessing, they live to be good, to be useful
and die beloved and lamented.
But how is it with the million, who arr
doomed to perjury and hard labor? We speal
not of the vicious and the vile, whose crime,
have enslaved them to suffering and want; Blu
of the ~virtuous poor. What a large numbe
of poor girls and married or widowed women
whose hard lot it is, to till the land and pur
sue the harsher avocations of men, in tn
country portions of our land? How man,
of them, for the protection of their virtue an,
for sustenance, are doomed too often by
drunken husband or father, to toll and swea

are wOrking women and should be honored
but it is a hard lot, for which as yet, the e

the male sex.

The Campaign Over.

The din of battle is hushed and the victors
are rejoicing. What has been gained is hard
to calculate, but who estimates the loss? In
some of the Districts it has been a close, fiery
contest. Money has been expended without
stint-bets have run high, and worse than
all, Alcohol has been poured out and drank,
sufficient to make a ship float. And how
many who were perhaps sober and industri-
Gus, are from this time to be numbered among
the drunken and the vile. These are items
which never enter into the calculations of
men bent upon party success. If defeat be
their lot, then perchance they will rue their
folly for a week, but at the return of the next
conflict, it is quite forgotten.
Let these facts, occurring at every election,
be turned to good account by the friends of
humanity. We must continue to raise our
voice against this unholy and destructive
practice. Whiskey must be banished from
our elections ere we can be freemen. So
long as Alcohol holds its sway, the poor must
be poorer-the more dependent and down
trodden. True liberty demands its Danish
ment.

Hail to the Chief

We heartily endorse and adopt the follow
ing from the Virginia Conductor. The
'Chief' here alluded to is the wisconsin
Chief temperance paper edited and pub
lished at Fort Atkinson, by I. w. Brown,
whose war plume has always been seen tossing
in tie thickest of the fight against the old
enemy. How we would like to grasp him by
the hand:
In copying the annexed extract from a re-
cent number of the CHIEF, we say to brother
Brown, that should his childhood dreams be
realized in a visit to our State, he will find a
welcome, not only in the mountain home Of
brother Wartmann, but also down in the
"Cockade' city, that will more than realize
his fondest imaginations, and the Oaks may
possibly lose the master-hand that now so
s~kilfully trims its flowers and gratis its lus-
cious fruits.
We would like to transplant. not Temporal
rily, but permanently, this Chief from the
'Tougher elements" of the Northwest to the
sunny climes of the South, where tie soul Of
man Is as full of generosity and as appIccia-
tive OF noble daring in defence Of right, as her
flowers are redolent of the sweets that render
al uChSLllung hd5lahh' 49,
CHIEF says:
From afriend in the "Old Dominion" him
self one of the noblest, truest and ablest de
tenders Of the faith" and a cotemporary also,
we have a note, with a subscription enclosed,
and a regret that be cannot send us one hun
dred, instead Of one" He adds:
IF a kind Providence should permit you
to come into our State, you will please recol-
lect hat our cottage home is at your service
as long as you can favor us with your pres
ence."
Since childhood, we have dreamed of visi
ing Virginia and the South. The more we
have learned of our co-workers in that sec

Non ALL IN BRINGING UP."-As the twig
IS bent the tree is inclined, we are told. And
education has a great deal to do, no doubt,
with mans follies and sins, his habits of good
and evil Still, there is an innate principle
in every human being, urging him on, at all
times, and often without apparent reason, to
acts of msanness or generosity, of virtue or
depraVity. Education may warp, but it can
not destroy this principle. There is much
truth in the ~doggerel saying:
"Ohtit isn't all in bringing up"
Let folks say what they will
Neglect may dim a silver cup
1t will be silver still"
A very silly rhyme, we trow, and yet preg,
nant with honest meaning, we opine, and
therefore worth remembering.

Sir Walter Raleigh.

Everything pertaining to this "Sir Knight
Of the olden time" after whom our own good
ly little city was called, possesses some pecu-
liar interest TO its denizens. Porting over an
old volume recently, we came across a beau
tifdl poem picture of Country Recreation"
which we subjoin for the benefit of our read
ers. Sir Walter Raleigh, although not class
ed as a poet Of the first order, contributed
numerous minor poems to the literature of
the age in which he lived. He attained emf
nence thereby, and was also appreciated for
his talents in active business pursuits. He
was carly distinguished for his acuteness of
intellect and daring disposition. We find
him, at the age of seventeen, when the great
Reformers were battling, with tongue and
pen, against the aggressions of Church of
Rome, maintaining the Protestant cause with
the sword. In the year 1897, he accompa-
MED Sir Humphrey Gilbert on a voyage to
Newfoundland. The expedition did notprove
fortunate; but it served to familiarize Raleigh
with maratAme life, which subsequently made
him fHanouH ns NnA~Sl ofhcer. BY his shrewd
S.-s 80 30 Ssss: ~ sssssssa ss a leSs si%s tss
and bestowed upon him large estates. An
anecdote is related, as illustrating the gallan-
try by which he was characterized, thus: -
"One day, when he was attending the Queen
on n walk, she came toa miry part of the
road, and for a moment hesitated to proceed.
Raleigh, perceiving this, instantly pulled off
his rich plush cloak, and by spreading it be-
fore her feet, enabled her to pass on unsoiled
This mark of attention delighted the Queen.
from whom, it has been faceticiously remark
ed, his cloak was the means of procuring for
him many a good suit" The following is the
Poem above alluded to:
Heart-tearing cares and q~uiv'ring fears,
Anxious sighs, untimely tears,
Fly, fly TO courts,
Fly to fond worldling's sports;
Where strained sardonic smiles are Glazing still.
And grief is forced to laugh against her viii:
Where mirth's but mummery,
And sorrows only real be.
Fly from our country pastimes, fy,
Sad troops Of human misery!
Come, serene looks;
Clear as the crystal brooks,
Or the pure aEur'd heaven that smiles to see
Tho rich attendance Of our poverty,
Peace and n secure mind,
Which all men seek, We only end.
Abused mortals, did you know
Where joy, hearts ease, and comforts grow,
You'd scorn proud towers,
And seek them in these bowers;
Where winds perhaps our woods may sometimes
shake,
But clustering care could never tempest make,
Nor murmurs e'er come nigh us,
Saving Of fountains that glide by US.
Best silent groves! o, may ye be
~ Forever mirth's best nursoryi
May pure contents
Forever pitch their tents
Upon those dotns, these meads, these rocks, these
mQuntairs,N
And Peaoe StiI siumber by these purIing fountains,
Which we may every year
Find when we come a-hshing here.

BEYOND THE RIVER.

There is a land of life and light,
Where all is lovely, fair and bright,
But oh i. lies just out of sight
Beyond the river.
A land, where flowers perennial bloom,
Afe ,tion's garland wreathe no tomb
For in that home of bliss; no gloom.
Is felt beyond the river
A land with Eden's bowers replete,
Where kindred spirits, spirits meet,
And hold eommunings long and sweet
Beyond the river.
Where beings 'reft of earthly dross,
As gold refined, sustain no loss,
But like the stars pursue their course
Beyond the river.
Methinks my spirit plumes her wing,
For that fair land of which I sing;
Come, ~noiselsss angels, to me bring
Release beyond the river
I fain would join the host on high,
With lightning pinions cleave the sky,
And be with Jesus ever nigh,
Beyond deaths river.
My golden harp attuned to praise,
With saints redeemed, my voice I'd raise,
And through Eternity my lays
Would echo-past deaths riy err
