boys hear that, for just here is your
mistake. The poor wretch suspended
from the gallows has no invitation in
the yelling crowd that surrounds him.
There is no one there to whisper in
the ear of the next victim, Of how
few steps there are between small
vice and great crime. The miserable
drunkard who staggers and reels in

young men are making prisoners for
the execution by your indulgence and
your assumed appearance of impOr-
tance, and by advocating moderate
drinking, are helping some down to
ruin, perhaps the nearest and best
friend you have.
The boys will be manly, and you
are fixing the standard for them.
When you meet them with a cigar in
your mouth, take the other side of the
walk. Don'tlet the perfume of the
curling smoke reach their nOstrils, lest
even that kindle a desire for some

away their brains. Do not let them
see you degrade your manhood by
frequenting a place where alcaholic
drink is sold. If you go, go at mid
night when the silent stars keep their
vigils and we have the little boys safe
in their trundle-beds, kneeling by
their sides, praying-"Our Father in

ed you may be in the art for if he
sees you are verdant or embarrassed

whom you have summoned to witness
some trivial affairs, I assure you if
he is a boy of metal he will not imi-

It may be that you may think I ain

Mrs. Browning, writing Of the toll

early and late in factory, cOlliery and
other places of labor, says:
eco out children. from the mine and from
the city:
Sing out children as the little thrusheE do.
They look up with their pale and Sunken
faces, ... ... .
And their look is dread to see, +
For they mind you Of their angels in high

With eyes turned on deity. .

Will you stand to move the world on achiId's

says the Chief Magistrate of this State,

upon Congress to suspend the writ uf
hd6eds corpus throughout the State. We
declare there is no sufficient cause for
this extraordinary action of Governor
Holden. There is and has been no
armed resistance, no uprising of the peo.
pie, no outbreaks to disturb or hinder
the full administration of the civil law.
We assert that there is not County in
the State In which any sheriff or other
peace officer may not go, unattended,
and with perfect safety, and execute any
process upon any citizen of the State
1t is true that murders and other out
RACES have been committed, but thcy

locality or any political party; and when
Gov. Holden represents to the President
and to Congress that these acts are evil
denccs of disloyalty, he is guilty of a
wilful libel upon people whose rights
he has sworn to protect.
