Judge Westbrook, in a late charge to the
Grand Jury of the Ulster county On. W Oyer
! and Termincr made powerful arraignment
of the liquor-tratlic, from which we quote as
| follows:
I'VE are also, gentlemen, required by the
statute to charge you in regard to the violation
of the laws of the state known rs The Excise
Laws and which regulate and control the sale
of intoxicating drinks. have purposely left
this for the last Of the special charge which /
am now making to you, because deem it to
be perhaps the most important of all things to
which your attention can be called. No prac-
tee tends more to the violation and breaking
of all law than the habit Of drinking. II is
useless to talk about it. If you have eyes you
can see it. If you have ears you can hear it.
You can go anywhere in this county, or any
where in this state, and the evils springing
from this traffic will meet you at every step
wherever you may he. Ii has stricken down
many an individual and sent him to an un-
timely grave 1t has broken up many a house
hold and sent many person to the Jail, to the
prison, and to the poOrhouse This has been
said to you again and again, and yet, strange
TO say, it is almost Impossible SO to quicken
the conscienccs of grand jurors that they will
see that these laws which regulate the sale Of
liquors are enforced. Why is this so? Is this
thing which the law cannot reach and cannot
control Are you a merchant? You expect
to observe the law in your pursuits Are you
farmer. You obey the mandates Of the law.
Every avocation everywhere is governed and
controlled by the law, but, strange TO say, this
traffic taunts itself right in the very teeth and
eyes of justice, and justice seems to be para
,! lyZed IN its presence-paralyzed in its pres
ence, when all the evils of this traffic are be-
fore us continually, and when we know that OF
all the evils With which the land is afflicted, it
Is the greatest curse which exists and rests
upon it,"
He pointed out the many and fragrant viola
tons of the law by liquor-scllers, and exhor,cd
the Grand Jury in very earnest terms to tideli'
ty to their oaths in dealing with this class of
offenders.
In sentencing prisoner convicted of the
crime of arson, committed under the influence
of strong drink, Judge Westbrook took occa-
sion to say
For myself, am prepared to say, and do
say, that am opposed to dealing in lntoxica-
ting drinks under any and every form. The
! bar shall not, with my cOuntenance, tempt men
to ruin and crime, whether it be in the gilded
tavern or the filthy corner grocery. Looking
above for help, | pledge my official and per
sonal action against it, and invite the CO-opcra-
ton and the prayers of all God-fearing men
and women in the same direction"
Such n judge is an honor to the judiciary
of his state, and a powerful ally for the cause
of temperance, righteousness and good order.

The following is related to us by one of our
most successful farmers in regard to corn
planting: The great trouble with us all is
that we plant our corn to deep. The advan

the planter wheel outside of the corn rows are

Bars and Boxes.

Some student Of political and domestic econ
omy lately suggested that, rs barkeepers pay,
on IN average, 80 per gallon for whisky, which
they sell to poor men at the rate of ten cents q
glass, for $650-that is So tor the whisky and
$3.50 to man for handing it over the bar
that the wives al such men should bccOm"
their bar-keepers, and thus save for themselves
and their families the accruing profits, and be
enabled, when their drinking husbands can no
longer support themselves, and are stunned
and despised by all respectable persons" to
have money enough to take care of them till
they get ready to fill drunkards' graves
Better however, than this plan of home bars"
Is that Of an English country doctor, who, in
a letter to the Bury tEnglandD Free Press,
writes that he was so much impressed with
one of Canon Farrar's sermons, which he read
on the 18th of March 1877, that, after thinking
the matter over he resolved to become an alb
stainer, and that for period of twelve months
he would put in box regularly every morn
ing the equivalent of what he had hitherto
hocn accustomed 10 paw for beer. wine, etc
On the 18th of March 1878 he opened the box,
and was greatly surprised to find so large an
amount as f36 los. (S1S250) He says: Il
could hardly believe my own eyes But what
about leaving off the stimulant? All can
say is never felt better in my life. | work

THE DISENTHRALLED.

EY JOHN q. WHITTIER.
He had bowed down to drunkenness,
An AFFECT worshipper,
The pulse Of manhood's pride had gone,
Too faint and cold to STIR
And he had given his spirit up
Unto the humble thrall;
And, bowed to the poisoned cup,
He gloricd in his fall.
There came change-the cloud rolled of
Aud light fell on his BRAN,
And, like the passing of dream
That cometh not again,
The shadow Of the spirit fled;
He saw the gulf before,
He shuddered ut the waste behind,
And was q man once more.
lie shook the scrpent's fold away,
That gathered round his heart,
As shakes the sturdy forest oak
Its pOison-vine apart;
He stood crect-returning pride
Grew terribly within,
And conscience sat in Judgment on
His most familiar sin.
The light of intellect again
Along his pathway sh0ne,
And reason, like q monarch, stood
Upon its golden throne;
The honorcd and the wise once more
Within his presence came,
And fingered oft on lovely lips
His once forbidden name.
There may lie glory in the might
That trcadcth nations down
WreathcS for the crimson warrior,
Pride for the kingly crown;
But glorious is that triumph hour
The disenthralled shall find,
When evil passion boweth down
Unto the God-like mind.
