By nany,asof more importance TO The
people generally than Ill the balance Of
the proposed New Constitution.
Isis said with SONS show OF reason,
chat the majority might live under the

ssalising the difference between that and
che old one, except In the matter NJ fewer
elections. but that the adoption OF rejsc-
don Of license deeply interests almost
every voter.
There srs perhaps more men hesitating
to-day about how to vote on license, than
srs hssisasing how to vote on she New

A better class Of men would have
charge of the business. The worthless
men who now do most OF the selling
could not establish moral character,
they could not pay for the license, and
they certainly could not tgiye the requi-

The very worst feature Of our present
situation is, that the liquor business is so
largely in the hands Of the lowest class Of
men.
If the liquor seller be required, as he
undoubtedly will be,to give heavy bonds,
he will incur heavy pecuniary RESPONSE
bility by violating the laws, in addition to
the forfeiture of ills license. Further

that he did not involve them by illegal

that no evils would result from selling

look facts squarely in the face. Liquor
will be sold, and evil, great evil, will re.

genuity ever devised. Our present laws
have not prevented it, prohibitory laws
have not prevented it, and no one need
hope that license will prevent it but what

FROM DARKNESS UNTO LIGHT.
z At Evening Time it shall be Light"
By j. N. GOLDMAN.

Earth and her born were wrapped in
night, night
More dense, Of gloom yet more profound
Than natures night, offspring of elder
dark,
Within her darkest midnight bound.
And eyes were closed, save few whose
sleepy stare
Forbade them scan the cldritch face
Of the deep dark, which close had tuck
cd its gloom
Within the folds Of earthly space.
The horrid form of dark oblivion spread
It's banking pinions, on the page
Of time, and widowed form upon the
mind
Of holy prophet and Of sage.
While faded minions from the lurid glare
Of flame illucid, gath'ring, ridged
Themselves within the land of Faith and
Hope,
And Ioosed the stream of death I'M
bridged.
And bound in chains Of Hate, fair Truth,
And sealed her dungeons lock with Hell,
And placed the withered form of wan
Despair,
Stern iailor, at her prison cell
And bid Distinctions bleaking buzzard
furl
It's wasting pinions on the field
Of eden Earth, that it might bear, none
else,
But ruin and decay, full yield.
Ere while lonely star bound earthward,
shot
Athwart the wizard gloom on Earth,
VoicefuI, its scaling blaze to prophets
words;
Announced the Heaven Strangers birth.
And watching throngs from court on
High, beheld
Rejoicing the blaze of that lone light,
Lurial set amid the mournful gloom
OF darkness, chained in dismal night
Then did the wretched gloam, all borrow
plumed
And wan and pale in trembling fright,
Behold the fiamingTwings that bore the
star
With arrowed speed thrice blazing
bright
And then the shepherds on the dewey
slopes
OF Bethlehem and meadowed plains
Of Jud'a, watching heard, "gOod will

And peace on earth, - in seraph strains.
