most noble causes that was ever undertaken
BY man to accomplish. Some men have been
carried away so far with liquor as to be com.
pletely under its control. The man who
drinks but three glasses day at this time, in
one year will drink six, and he will at last get
80 that nothing Is of any pleasure to him
unless he has rum to go with it. laboring
man who gets two dollars per day and spends
one dollar day for rum is no better than a
brute. He denies his family Of the neces-
saries Of life and gobbles down the hard
earned dollar for rum.
This revival of the old Washingtonian
spirit should awaken the heart Of every man
to the duty that lies before him. Let the
sound Of temperance ring in every home in
the land, and let this devil incarnate, rum, be
driven from our midst. Let it ring from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, until the heart and
hand of every man 10 united in>this great and
glorious cause. The capital of Maine now
sends forth her voice as one Of the strongest
temperance cities in the State, and we'll may
her citizens be proud. The strong arm of
the law has been extended, and let the people
take hold and drive rum from out the land.
We want the business to advance in our State,
and with rum in our midst it never can.

Having read your paper great deal for the
mast six months, and perused the pages very
closely, find that considerable space in your
columns is devoted to matters pertaining to
TEMPERANCE, and wish to make a short and
feeble allusion to this noble cause, as one
deeply interested in the affair.
Some months ago temperance pledge OF
total abstinence was started in our city, and
meetings were held for the purpose of obtain
ing signers. A large number took hold OF
the matter in earnest, and began the work
with good cheer The remark was often
made, "How long will this thing hold out Z
1t speaks for itself All honor to those noble
gentlemen who first inaugurated this glorious
cause Many poor and weak minds that we're
being led into the dark ways by that awful
demon, Rum, have been saved. Many have
been saved from drunkards grave by this
noble cause. May the proud old State OF
Maine raise her voice in the most stringent
and powerful words, 'that rum shall no
longer curse her soil, and drag down to a
deep and everlasting wreck, her noble sons. y
