for aid, in Him who presides over all. But
let me say to those who unlawfully deal
out intoxicating liquor {" their fellowman,
to quit the ungodly traffic. and turn their
attention to same honorable and useful
occupation. The rumseller dares not raise
his voice to high Heaven, and ask God TO
prosper him, while he with his traffic is
destroying the present, future and everlast-
ing happiness of his fellowman.
The liquor traffic i, spreading broadcast
over our land, misery, proverty and death,
burdening the people with taxation, filling
our land with paupers, our asylums poor
houses, criminal courts, jais and prisons
with its drunken subjects, all for the sake
OF money. But when the last trump shall
call US into judgment, who on his earthly
footstool would wish to own that they
were instrumental in sending unprepared
their fellowman To meet an all wise and
just God.
The past year has not been as favorable
on this coast FOR farming. stockraising and
mining as we would wish on the account oi
the drought, but Of late our state has been
visited with refreshing showers, which
hatter Us with the idea that the year 1878
will be favorable one on this coast.
Respectfully Yours,
GEo. BROWN.

He saw the pearly gates and jasper walls

From tar and near, In rhythmic palpiiaiions.
Rose on the air the noise Of shouts and psalms
And through the gates be saw the ransomeJ

And white within the thronxing Empyrean,
