01" Such is the Kiligdoiiii of iieaireni
An infant sits upon its iiiother’s knee,
And laughs and prnllles in its happy glee;
Now with a sudden start it wildly loaps—’-
Anon behind the chair at “brother” peeps-
Till, tired at lo-iil_:tl'i, it lea us upuii the breast
\Vhc.re oft its intinit cares are hushed to rest‘.
And then so lovingly the mother's arm
Is gently i:l:i:ipe(l iirouilvl its tiny fliriii § _
And from tlidso eiii-nest eyes a hallowed light
ls shed upon the llabe so f':'ii_l' and bri,ght.
As, smiling n’o'i"v. it gases in tlfdse eyes,
An image tliere the \vond‘i'ing babe descrieéi ‘
That ne'er it saw, though oft and oft before
It. thus had gziiicil, mid leiii'ife'gl the mystic lore
Deep hidden llierr_a——il‘s se‘ci'els rill uiiltnolvii
To iuan—-i-cvealed in lniiocenc'e alone.
But now an angel from those orbs so mild.
Smile answering smile, looks_iloivli upon the
An angel face, so tiny. yet so true, [c-hild;
Willi eyes of inidni_2lit‘s deepest shade ot‘bl'ué.,
And cheeks and lips that shame the r'ose’s liu‘e'.
As, smiling still. the child. willi sweet surp'i'is‘e,
Buhoids ils smiling iinage in those eyes‘, _
A sudden wondersniootlis the dinipling ‘clfeokfi,
And st raight the angel's face the same liespoaks:
And should ii lliousand cliziiigos come and go
Al.lii'\"iil't its face, those cliunges still woiilifsliow
\Vitliiu that mirror bright, where o'on.a tear
On its soft cheek would still be imaged clear;
No more surprised. its gaze more languid growszi
And soothed lb sleep. its eyelids gently close,
As leaves of lii°ee'):e-i"d‘cl.ed flowers at eve repose.
Its slumbers light the angel still attcnds——~
The wul-;iiig with tun sleinpiiig vision lileiiris.
Anon it starts and stretcllcs forth its hands,
And as its nioiher by the cradle stands,
The "angel ii"oi'n those gentle eyes looks down,
And soil reliirns each smile or pa s-sing frown ;
And lJUl'lllll.< the baby in its laugliiiig glue
The angel in lh‘e_inothér‘s eye to see.‘
Years swiftly pass-—:iiid like an opening rose
The lovely babe to blooming childhood groivs;
Time c’en more swiftly passes, and at length
He stands revealed in mauliood’s pride and

The benign, operation of THE NLiiNi:-:
L.t_w is 'vei'y properly attracting attention
throughout the Free Slates. Hitherto the
current cavil has be-1-.ii-—“ You never can
l'epi‘ess lntemperancc nor Tippling Houses
by lt‘-g’lSl;lll0ll—-—Ci[lel’lenCe proves that ou
are far more likely to increase both." To
this cavil M.\.f.:\‘i: has furnished a conclusive
refutation. lnlelbperance, indeed, is not en-
tirely rooted out of the Slate, but gr,lg-shops
are. Thci'a is not a place where Alcoholic
l_.iq‘ii'Ors are l‘£iiow‘ri to be sold, except for
Mediciil purposes. within the bounds of the
Slate, rvliicli is as large as all the residue of
New Eiiglaind. There are doubtless some
drinl—:ers lull. in the State, but they have
hard work to find the means of gralifyin,«_r_
their depraved appetites, ininzl do so by
sleallli, if at all, and with much larger inter-
ilals between drinks than they would prefer.
Even the iiiimcdlflle influences are iinmensc-
ly bcrieficienl. The fountains of intemper
:mc‘c are drying up; old soakers are refor-
ming; inoderato tlrinlrcrs (as they sllppdse
llicin.-selves) are deslstng from strong drink
almost as a niattcr of course, Noiic other
than a man who really loves Liquor-—wbo
has acquired a devour-iiig, raging thirst for
it—-will sncai-2 around into the hack collars
and benigliled, fililiy dens in which alone it
is izow to be found.
The saving to the State in the bare cost
of Liquor alone must amount to hundreds
of thousands of dollars per annum, while
the saving in lime and Ill morals is of far
greater, of inesliinable value. Pauperism
is drying up; Crime is scarcely known;
the Police of the cilizviis of Maine finds
very little to do; and Taxes, hitherto quad-
rupling every few years, may henceforth be
gradually diminished. But, better than
even this, the Youth of Maine are no long-
er tempted in the way ivbicli leads down to
[lE3l‘(illlCll. The youth who shall henceforth
be solicited for the first time lo drink must

have done lhcirbest to prevent. If there is

that ll'io*.tsands, thus seusoiiably waru'e'd, will
shun it and choose to walk on in the paths
of righteousness and peace? -Who can so-
berly doubt that this l\‘I_aine Law is doing
more to form the children of that 'State to
lives of virtue and happiness than all the
other laws on her statute-book?
The Legi:-lalui-e of Maine ils'now_in _ses-
sion, and an effoi-t lb rcpeill this noble law is
zlnticipulcd. As yet, l1owever,'we see no
move made, and our friends in‘-that State as-
sure is lllat it cannot succeed. A
But we must not ask our expect iilaine to
stand up for years alone. The contest is
unequal and unfair. The wliole-aale liquor
dealers of Boston alone could richly afford
to give the average price of a Legislature to
insure the repeal of this law. The Ram-
selliiig interest generally might better con-
tribute One Milllon Dollars to procure the
repeal of the Maine Law than have it staiid
stirring, the legislators of other Slates in the
face and pointing ilie_in to the path of duty,
forgeven three years. _
V9 iiiitst keep the enemy on tlie defensive
VVe rhusl attack him on his own ground.—
We must carry the war into Africa. The
Rum-selling interest of Boston, of Ports-
mouth, of Neiv-York, must be_supplie.d
with plenty of work at home. VVe mun
make a (lfilernllllctl struggle for the Maine
Law in New York and in all the New-
England Sliil. s, preparatory to a demonstra-
lion on the Center and West. VVe shall
lhiis escape all da‘nger—lhe danger of_ re-
peal in l‘i'!aiiie-—by meeting it fully half
way. _ , ,
VVe believe the present Legislatures of
both Massachusetts and Rhode Island are
likely to pass Laws identical in principle
and purpose, and scarcely dissimilar in de-
tails, to the Maine Law. If eithei‘, should
disa ppuint us, lbc next election \Vlll_bC plet-
ty certain to set the matter straight; That
the People ofthese two States are right on
this inorricntous subject, we have full confi-
dence. Vermont now prohibits the sale of
intoxicating beverages, andber People have
said “Well done!” in several ,-'-Elections
held expressly to pass on this question ; and
their last majority for No License was, if
we do nol,misr‘e'collect, largerthan any pre-
ceding. That she will soon modify. her
present probibilory law so‘ as to conform its
provisdiis and penalties very nearly to’ those
of are Maine Law, is morally certain.
Connecticut will require hiore determined
effort. The Rum interest is very Strong in
her cit.ies,and Alcohol has iiiauy_,devotees
among her people. A strong effort will
be made forihiivith to place Rum in this
State under the continued proleclioti of what
is called Democracy; and ihus shield it from

Ciirious Mode Of Getting A \Vifc.
One little act of politeness will sometimes
pave the way to fortune and prefernieiil.--
The following sketch illustrates this fact.
A sailor, roughly garbed, was sauniering
through the streets of New Orleans, then in
a rather damp condition, from recent rain
and the rise of the tide. Turning the corner
ofa much—freqnenled and narrow alley, he
observed ilyoung lady standing in perplex-
ily, apparently lnBuSlil'lDg' the depth. of the
muddy water between her and the opposite
sidewalk, with no very satisfied countenance.
The sailor paused, for be was a great ad-
mirer of beauly,and certainlv the face that
peep‘ed.oul from under the little chip hat,
and the auburn curls banging glossy and un-
confined over her muslin dress, might temp:
i1'Cu|'l0L'S, 01’ an admiring glance. Perplex-
ed, the lady put forth one little foot, when the
gallant sailor, with characteristic impulsive-
uess, exclaimed, “That pretty foot,’ lady,‘
should not besoiled with the filth ofiliis lane ;
z
‘wait for a moment only, and I will make you
-a path.” 4
So springing past her into a carp'enter’s
shop opposite, he bargained for a plank board
that stood in the doorway, and coming back
to the shilling girl who was just coqueitielr
enough to accept. the scrflices of the b -nd-
somc young sailor, he bridged the narrow,
black stream, and she lr.ipped- across vi ill) a
merry “ ihank you,” and a roguish smile,‘
Alas! our young sailor was perfectly char-'
med. What else would make himcatcli up‘
and shoulder the plank, and follow lhe'llltlé
