TEMPERANCE STORY.


The following address sent to us
by friend in another county, sew
eral months past, with a request
that we publish it in the HERALD,
was by some means mislaid, and
has not until few days since been
visible, hence the great delay in its
publication. We trust our friend
will pardon us for this seeming in
difference to his request. The sto-
ry is founded upon facts, and
transpired not great many miles
from this town, as we are reliably
informed

BE TRUE.-Be true to the world.
Benevolence, like music, is a uni
versal language. 1t can not freely
utter itself in dialects that belong
to nation or clan. In its large
significance the human race is to
thee a brother and a friend
Posterity needs much at thy hands,
and will receive much, whether thou
art aware of it or not. Thou mayest
deem thyself without influence and
altogether unimportant Believe
it not. Thy simplest act, thy most
casual word, is cast into "the great
seed field of human thought" and
will re. appear as a poisonous weed,
or herb medicinal, after thousand
years.

Proud MEN.-A proud man is a
fool in fermentation, swells like a
porridge-pot. He sets his feathers
like an owl, TO swell and seem big
ger than he is. He is troubled with
an Inflammation of self conseit,
that renders him the man of paste
board and a true bucl1ram knight.
He has given himself sympathetic
love powder, that works upon him
like a dotage, and transforms him
into his own mistresses most pas
sionate court, his own dear perfec-
tions, and worshiping spongy sub
stances, occupying much space, as
feathers and cotton will stuff a cush-
ion much better than things of per
feet and solid,proportions.

My love for thee has well been tried.
know the poison Of the shades
Where are bought and sold those liquid
Fires of Hell by Satan's whelps
In respectable drug stores"
A few years ago, it was my pleas
ure to spend few weeks in West
ern village in the Southern part Of
one of our Western States. Ny
boarding house was situated in the
outward limits of the town, which
necessarily compelled me to have
to pass nearly through the whole
distance of the village, in order to
reach the Post Office. This made
my walk invigorating as well as
pleasant and agreeable, and gave
me an opportunity to scan the
many faces of the passers.by, that
one would meet with, in their per
ambulations. Among the many
faces which thus met, and the one
which attracted my attention, was
that of meek and lovely child-a
little girl. l usually found her seat
ed on the steps, or prattling, with
empty chatter, on the sidewalk, in
front of what had, at one time, been
one of the finest residences of the
village; but now, sadly on the de-
cline. 1 tried to win her sympa-
thy. This partly succeeded in
doing. In her disposition, she was
somewhat reserved and cautious,
which made my task the more diff
cult. There was upon her face q
smile of playfulness and buoyan-
cy of spirit, indicative of more than
ordinary talant. She was indeed a
lovely child, and one which one
could only behold to love and ad-
mire. Her forehead was high and
intellectual, while smiles, radient,
beamed from her rosy face and
kindling eyes, and long ringlets of
dark, curling hair fell gracefully
upon her shoulders, reminding one
of the white robed daughters of the
ancient Temple of Fides, in the
country of the once proud Albins.
But was soon doomed to a sore
disappointment. I learned that this
fair and lovely child, in whom l
had become so much interested, was
the child of a drunkard. A man
who had stood high among his
friends and neighbors as a physi-
clan, and who had been blessed by
nature with more than ordinary
talent. Talent, which would have
enabled him to have been an Orna-
ment and a blessing to the commu-
nifty in which he lived, and to have
filed with profit and trust any Of
fee within the gift Of the people, if
it had not been for that one fell de-
stroyer, curse and blight Of the hu-
man race, Intemperance! But this
one bane or poison of society, had
been his ruin; and that fair fabric
for the in-dwelling of a noble soul,
had been demolished, and had
placed him almost on an equality
with the brute creation. For all
that now remained of that once
mighty intellect, was dethroned
reason; and the tabernacle in which
t dwelt, was a reeling and polluted
wreck of humanity.

gained the ascendaney over him
and they laughed at what they call
ed the folly Of temperance men
who were powerless. That mad
dening demon, intoXication, haC
taken possession Of his soul; anC
in his last freak he was seen riding
through the streets Of the village
upon two horses, with his littl,
girls hat upon his head, and hi'
wife's vail over his face, in imita
ton of a circus rider. And as ht
passed those dens of iniquity, ere
spectacle Drug stores" in his wilC
and needless flight those fiends in
carnate, laughed at the flend they
had made. But good men follow
ed him and carried him home
They watched with him through
the night and quieted his fears
and soothed his wife and little
ones. "Respoctablc Drug Stores"
have made him their victim, and
fearfully have they done their work,
and on them we will let the respon-
sibility rest.
This, my friends, is no fancy, idle
sketch. Within your own quiet
little village have 1 witnessed all
this. The face of lovely woman
have l seen bathed in tears, while
she stood at the bar of justice,
Pleading for justice and the ex-
ecution of the law upon those
who had made her husband a
polluted wreck of humanity, and
herself the wife of a drunkard.-
For her there was no redress. The
law, from the multiplicity of its in
consistencies, was a medley. And
the arm Of him who stood ready for
its execution was palsied. Direct
proof was out of the question:
Circumstantial evidence in her case
ives no evidence; and that strong
faith of assurance, which caused
her to exclaim, in language. I'M
Il know that there is
where he gets his liquor!" is by
your statutes debassd as evidence,
and void.

enough, and will close in the Ian

Rowena, in the days of olden
Templars, knelt at the feet of her
King to bid him wassal, while, ac-
cording to the custom of the times,
she held in her hand a goblet whose

court the health and wisdom which
her prayers besought for them
Templars have been wont to meet
to councils of violence and blood
but cur mission is peace among
ourselves, and safety and happiness

who call on us for aid. No Tenn
plars of any age have ever cham
pioned nobler cause; no knights
have ever fought deadlier or more
leartless foe-one whose track is
marked with pools of costlier blood,
with deeper walls of woe, with
more complete and permanent ruin
Of all that men hold dear-that civ
Ilization and christianity depend on
for their progress. Philosophy and
history-sacred and profane-have
damned with no blacker infamy,
and cursed with no more porten-

our race than those we have band

CASTLES IN THE AIR.

a breath Of rich perfrme
Came drifting on the air,
From roses crimson bloom
And waXen lilies fair,
81 Along the asure height
We're banks of snowy clouds
Which quivered in the light
And fastened on in crowds.
Upon the grass We lay.
And built IN every drift,
And paved a golden way
every shining rift,
We pictured kings and queens
And stately courts and thrones,
And wales and mountain scenes,
And notes and messy stones.
We built of fabric fair
a house for each alone,
A "castle in the air"
Which time has overthrown.
And there were mirTored all
The hopes and high desires
Which youthful hearts enthrall
And burn like vestal fires.
From idle visions wake;
To labor let us turn,
For we can win and mako
The best for which we yearn.
Disrobe of needless glare,
And strive with all our might,
And "castles in the air.
Become abodes of light.

= The last method OF cOmbin-
ing style and economy occurred at
Albany not long since. A man
went to an undertaken to borrow a
valuable casket, covered with vel
vet, to use at the funeral Of his
brother, proposing to take the body
out after the funeral, place it in a
plain pine coffin and return the
casket to the undertaken. The un-
dertaker was near sighted and
couldn't.

accordingly lifted Butler completely off his
pins by making the explicit charge that he
had been paid the sum of $4,000 for advo-
eating the claim of Rollin White in the
House. This attack was totally unexpected
by Butler, and in his excitement and
rage he substantially admitted all that is
necessary to prove the truth of Farnsworths
assertion. Butler stated that the amount
was paid to him for arguing the case in the
Supreme Court. Farnsworth, however,
estopped this plea by citing the statute that
declares that member of Congress who re-
ceives any fee for a matter pending before
Congress, or in any of the departments, CON-
mits misdemeanor, punishable by indict-
ment, and he then went on to show that the
member from Massachusetts, had made a
vigorous protest against Whites claim when
it was first brought before Congress, but
that after having been retained as coun-
sci in the Supreme Court he adopted another
view of the matter, and now appeared upon
the floor of the House as the advocate for
allowing the claim despite the Presidents
veto. Thereupon the ire of Butler became
excessive, and he had nothing to say in reply
except that Farnsworth had more beard than
brains This of course did Mr.. Butler no
good, and the result of Farnsworths attack
was that the House believed the truth of his
assertion, and sustained the veto of the Pre-
sident by large majority.
This case is interesting as it gives very
clear explanation of the manner in which
members of Congress are purchased by
lobbyists. There is, perhaps, very little
downright bribery, but there are few persons
who will be able to see much difference be-
tween the out-and-out purchase of Mr.. But
ler's voice and vote in this instance and the
payment of a fee to argue case in the
Supreme Court upon which he would also be
called to sit in judgment as a member
of the House of Representatives. Butler
admits that he took the money, and now it
remains to be seen whether there is sufficient
virtue in the House to expel him as White
more was expelled. 1t will not do to make
fish of one and flesh of the other,
and of the two offenses that
of Butler is the most entitled to condign
punishment. The moral effect of the action
of the House in Whittemores case was un-
doubtedly very great, but Whittemore is a
miserable scalawag about whom nobody
cares the toss of a sixpence, but the prompt
expulsion of the redoubtable member from
Massachusetts would do more for the regene-
ration of Congress than all other influences
put together, and it is to be hoped that there
is enough virtue and self-respect left among
the members to serve him according to his
deserts.
