Temperance Freedom.

Master of mySclfili be,
This nj least is liberty
proclaim to all around
itow true freedom | have found
Free all good things to select,
Free MI poison to reject,
Free from pain and free from debt,
Free MI honest gains to get
Free 10 ride. or row, or race.
Free to walk with sober grace
Free from pipe and free from bowl
Free in body, mind ana soul
Free from clamoring appetite,
Ruling all my habits right,
Free 10 serve the God | love.
Free to seek my home above.

We believe that the hereditary evils of
beer drinking exceed those proceeding from
ardent spirits: First. because the habit is
constant and without p%aroxysmal inter
%uptions which admit Of some recupcration
second, bccai.sc beer drinking is practiced
by both sexes more generally than the
spirit drinking; and third, because the an
mailing tendency Of the habit is more
uniformly developed, thus authorizing the
presumption That the yicious results are
more generally transmitted Rtrgic Hsdi-

We are Of opinion (. That q very large
proportion Of human misery, including
poverty, disease and crime is induced by
the use Of alcoholic or fermcntcd liquors as
a beverage. 2. That the most perfect
health is compatible with total absti-
ncncc from all such intoxicating beverages,
whether in the form Of ardent spirits, or as
vine, beer, ale. porter, cider. etc. B. That
persons accustomed to such drinks may
with perfect safety discontinue them entire
Iy, either at once OF gradually after a short
time. 4. The total and universal absti-
nencc from alcoholic beverages-pf all sorts
would greatly contribute TO the health, the
prosperity and happiness of the human
race.-s000 physicians Of Great Britain.

As far as the newspaper reports go, however
there Is nothing to show that he is innocent.
His trial was apparently conducted according
