POET RY

THE GOLDEN LADDER.
The children watched the sun 60 down.
And in its cleaning changes,
The West seemed first q sea of hre,
Then golden mountain ranges.
And Fannie asked, "what are the clouds7
They look like hills of glory"
'sThe steps of Heaven" Frank replied,
ut is q sweet old story:-
"A guardian angel, every day,
To each of us is given,
And everything we do or say
They carry up to Heaven. ..,-
"When we do wrong, they writhe with tears /;
When good. their hearts are gladder;
And every night they climb to Heaven
Up DER that golden ladder.
sand then the gates of pearl swing back
Upon their cleaning hinges,
And all the sky seems melted gold,
With red and purple fringes.
"But when the doors are closed again,
The guardian angels gather
In solemn silence with their books,
Around our Heavenly Father.
How, in that sinless dwelling,
VIII sound the story of the life
My angel must be telling.
~'Some days know my angel takes
The record of my SHINING;
But then always try to make
The next a new beginning.
$50. when at night our Father calls
Nu hoo o1o
And be the first to climb to Heaven,
Up o'er the golden ladder"
KNOW NOT.
I know not what my work shall be,
Nor where my lot may soon be cast,
Nor yet the scenes 1t may De mine to see;
Ny future home is unrevealed to me;
Ny coming days-how they'll be past
God knows. His will be dene!
I know not when nay friends shall 60.
Nor where we'd say the words 'sgood-by,"
But all must part; tits fate that makes 1t SO;
Friends separate. but tits a joy to know
That friendship true can never die.
God knows. His will be done!
I know not what new friends I'll make
While crossing "life's unresting sea-"
IT'S Natures plan that each of us should take
Congen1al souls as friends to keep awake
The love that breathes of deity.
God knows. His will be done!
I know not who observes my ways,
My life, to pattern his by mine.
Each influence is, through life's uncertain
maze,
A guide to some one, and each life portrays
A picture, human or divine.
God knows. His will be done!
I know not when my life shall end.
How long or short shall be my stay;
There's time enough right causes to defend,
And to the needy helping hands to lend.
Ere called to quit this house of clay.
God knows. His will be done!
What know not should teach me this:-
To prize Alright my present time;
To watch, to pray, to never be remiss
In what know is duty. 'Tis bliss
To thus insure ones life sublime.
In all Gods will be done!

FIGURES.
PORTLAND, April 3.-How best to deal
with drunkenness, that parent of so
much poverty, disease, and crime, is
not peculiarly the question of this age.
1t was q problem proposed at the be-
ginning of political organization. 1t
was as difficult to solve it in the past az
1t is to>day; and many methods have
been tried, only to strew the pathway
of human progress with their ruins,
The present mode, and one which its
supporters would have as believe to be
"the sovereignest balm of all,n is to
forbid by law the manufacture and sale
of alcoholic drinks. This plan has been
tried persistently in this State for thirty
years. 1t is day the fetish of the ru-
raj districts of Maine. AS it is pro.
posed to extend this statute over other
political communities, and even to
make it part of the fundamental code,
its results where 1t has long been tried
are subjects of legitimate Investigation.
But an inquiry of that kind is to be
made by consulting trustworthy Off
cial records, and not as Neal Dow con-
ducts it, by compiling the general state
ments of individuals, and adding mere
assertions of his own. Nor is an honest
inquiry to be averted because the apos.

In Neal Dow's Results of Prohibi-

law, Poverty, pauperism. and crime
have been greatly diminished by it,"
We have also extracts from resolutions
adopted by one political party there.
which assert that the law has "added
intellectually to the sum of virtue and
prosperity among the people, (" and then
endorse 1t las contributing to the mate
rial wealth, happiness. and prosperity
OF the State" To support this, we are
also told that the other political party,
In convention, repudiated the policy Of
license, and "is therefore virtually COM
mitted to prohibition" There are no
facts given to sustain these assertions.
for the very simple reason that the facts
show them to be utterly untrue. Pro.
hibition has not decreased pauperism
and crime in Msine, for pauperism has
not decreased here perceptibly since the
enactment of the prohibitory law, ex-

MR.. BAYARD'S LETTER.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. March 8, 1881.
My Dear Sir Il do not like to in
trude my opinions unasked for upon
members of the Legislature.
agree with you in thinking ''local-
option" laws of very doubtful constitu-
tionality, and positive inexpediency.
AS I understand them, they submit a
law to popular cote in local districts,
and this defeats the principle of our gov
ernment, which is representative in it's
character, and places the aUhole law
making power and discretion in the
Legislature, and not in the people, in
their mere numerical force and primary
capacity.
If punishment of criminals was to be
adjudged and inflicted by 'local-op-
tion," instead of through acts of Legis-
lature executed by judges and juries, it
would be held wholly at variance with
our theory of government, and yet to
apply such rule to so widespread and
daily habit as the use of alcoholic or
fermented beverages is in my judgment
quite as unsafe.
So far as my experience goes, a we'll
regulated system of licenses, whereby
revenue is largely brought into the pub
treasury, coupled with severe penalties
for illicit sale, has proved the most eff
cient check upon the abuse of the liquor
traffic.
In many respects the question is a
sunaptu0sy one, and laws attempting to
establish sumptuary regulations become
inquisitorial and impossible of execu-
ton, 80 that in those communities in
this country where they they have been
enacted, they have either aggravated the
evils they were intended to prevent, OF
have fallen into contempt and useless
ness, and been repealed.
The statements I have seen OF the real
condition of those communities in which
total prohibition has been attempted
have impressed me very strongly in
confirmation of these views,
Personal influence and example and
precept, and the recognition of the great
truth that 1ntemperance in the use oi
stimulants of all kinds is a morbid
physical fact, both in cause and effect
ls, In my judgment, the proper view to
commence with. Statistics abundantiy
prove that that the attempted suppress
sion by statutes of the use of olcoholie
st1mulants ls accompanied by an in.
crease in the use of opiates: and thai
open drinking being stopped. secre1
drinking ensues.
1 do not believe any man has greater
horror of intemperance than 1, and my
appreciation of its dangers and evil ef.
fects grows with my experience of hu-
man affairs, but the graver the evil thu
more essential to apply the right princi
pie to its cure, and for the reasons have
stated and many others I hope the ex
pertinent of ''local-option" will not bt
tried by our Legislature, but increased
checks under the license system may
be continued.
Yours, sincerely,
T. F. BAYARD.

Antiquarian Discoveries in Greece.

The Aion states that an archaeological
discovery of considerable Importance.
has been made in the northern part Of
the Eubea, a marble column, much in
jured at its base, bearing the names of
the donors, together with the amount
given by each, for the restoration of
the temple of Artemis and of her statue,
having been dug up at ST. Georges.
Some peasants, noticing II number of
stones upon the surface, thought that a
treasure was concealed there, and upon
making excavations brought to light
the column in question, together with
the number of large tiles, an earthen-
ware lamp, and the statute of a dog.
beneath which "a engraved the letter
A. This column is interesting, mas
much as it is looked upon as settling
the exact site of the temple of ArtemiS
Proseoa and the premonitory of
Artemision, off which took place the
naval engagement between the Greeks
and the Persians. Modern geometers
have hitherto believed that the Cape
Artemision of the ancients was identi-
cal with Paleocastro, near the village
Of Castri, which is more than five miles
from the place where this discovery
has been made.
