TO true temperance. Drunkenness was high crime
and deserved punishment; but 1t was necessary TO
use moral force, aimed directly at the indi-
vdual, and not by RESTRICTIVE legislation.
The great crime OF radcaltsm was in
seeking to reach an Ofenco OF the individual
by infringing on the honest right OF the vast ma
1oriy; the radicals sought to legslaIe virtue into
full and lawful pleasure. He maintained that though
as individuals they had the right TO criticize the
entire political 1eld, yet cub they could only
look to the Interests OF the general community.
Whether Ledwith was honest or not he would draw
his support from the radicals, and consequently, be

The particulars Of an unfortunate afray In which

scrupulously concealed from the public for some
days, transpired yesterday at Tarrytown, West

the accused, was committed to the county jaiI
by Justice Mann. Despite the present reticence OF
the friends and neighbors OF the accused (who is Q
respectable farmer living in the town Of Greenburg
the following details OF the tragic occurrence were
ascertained:-Not many days ago Brown called as
the house ofhis uncle and requested twenty dollars
that being part of o balance due him on
the purchase or wagon he had recently sold
to Secor. The latter, who, 1t Is said, was
under the impression that his nephew had outwit-
on paving the entire amount remaining due, and
which he accordingly handed over TO Br0wn.
Scarcely had the money been paid when Sec0r's
grown daughter entered the room and charged her
cousin with having circulated unkind re-
denied by Brown, who was about to protest his IN
nocence, when Sec0r became violently angry and
orde ed his nephew tn SIT down. so that they might
talk the matter over aud ascertain the truth OF the
accusation made by his daughter. The precise con-
versation that followed has not elapsed, but ere

ment Brown fell to the floor, having re-
ceived a charge OF buckshot in his right

procured without delay, 1t was found that, owing to
the immediate proximity OF the weapon TO the

Brown into his shoulder. where 1t en-

A Kiss at the Door.

We were standing in the doorway
My little wife and L
The golden sun upon her hair
Fell down so silently,
A small white hand upon my arm,
What could ask for more,
Than the kindly glance of loving eyes,
As she kissed me at the door?
L know she loves with all her heart
The one who stands beside!
And the years have been so JOYOUS
Since first called her bride!
We've had so much OF happiness
Since we met in years before,
But the happiest time oil all was
When she kissed me at tine uoor.
who cares for wealth of land or gold,
Offame or matchess power?
II does not give the happiness
Ofjust enc little hour.
With one who loves me as her life
She saws she Gloves me more'-
And thought she did this morning
When she kissed me at the door.
At times it seems that all the world
With all its wealth of gold,
Is very small aud poor indeed
Compared with what hold!
And when the clouds hang grim. and dark,
only think the more,
OF zone" who waits my coming step
To kiss me at the door.
II she lives till age shall scatter
The frost upon her head,
know she'll love me just the same
AS the morning We we've wei;
But il the angels call her
And she goes to Heaven before,
shall know her when ! meet her,
For she'll kiss me at the door.
