He "will not uiark the hemlock dark.
Nor stay 'i'vltei'e the iiight-shade spreads;
He will not say, ’ti3 the s'onibi'e yew,

For it li'i'igliiter leaf sheds d‘eep‘e'i_' grief.
And it faii‘er‘ti'e'e is the 'ti‘e‘e‘of death.
But, wiiere the ',*;i'ee‘n, rich sftiiiks are seen,
Where ‘iiipie ‘fruits gush and shine.
“ This. tliis." "cries he, “ is the tree foi"it‘t‘e--
The ‘vine, tire b‘ea'titi‘fu.l 'viii‘e.
I crouch tiinong the eniertild leaves,
Getiiin'd with the i'ut'iy gi‘ii'pes,

And he is strong that escapes. _

For the iiraitiac lifiiglt. the ti'ein|iling frame,
The idiot. spec-ch and pestilent liieiith,
The sliattered mind, the blasts-d fiante,
Ate wtouglit by the vine, the tree of death.
Fill. fill the glass, and let it pass;
But ye who quiitf! oti. think
Tliiit even the heart that. loves must loiith‘e
The lips TIMI. "deeply drink.
The breast iiiay inourii o‘er a close link torn,
And the scultlitig'di'ops may ioll;
But ’tis better to iii‘uui"ii o’era pulseless form

respecting the crimes there charged upon the
prisoner? A
Wit.—-I can, sir, for I suffered very much
from him both personally and in my family;
for the prisoner alvi ays was even in my fath-
er’s lifetime, :1‘ frequent visitor at his house,
and always professed great friendship for
him and for his children. when the Old
gentleman died he c’-tune to the funeral to of-
fer his consolation: to the mourners;-' and he
staid with us most of the time for several
weeks,‘ My wife was then in feeble health,
and as he said he was the possessor of. great
medical powers, and in the neighboiliood
was so reputed. I employed bun to cure
her.

him, for he died ofilie disease at last.
An. Ap.—Yuu said be, my client, tnatle
your wife a driinkai-(l; now witness upon
your oath do you venture to say this?
Wit.—-l do, sir, and I will give you my
reasons
An. Ap.—Reaso-is will not answer, sir,
you lllllal testify to facts. Do you knew he
inatle her it tlt'lll'lIfaiI'(l’.2
Wit.——Well,sir,I know this‘ that when
I married her, She had no relish for any in-
toxicating l.qiior, not rvc-n wine, but “hr-n
otir (’l(l(‘Si'(.'llllll was born, the prisoner was
sent for to visit her, and only thing adminis-
lered. was some strong sting. And then af-
ter iny f=ither’s death W bet) he l)F‘CHfli('2 her
regular atieridartt, lie pursuaded her in take
bitti-rs, and syrups maidcstrtiitg with brand_v,
till she cariie to ielish spirit and was very
frequently intoxicated. These are the facts
and tliese lucts are the reasons why I say he
uizide her :1 drunkard.
"An. Ap.~—-\Vi:ness have you not been
much in the praétice of frc-qtleullng the pub-
l.c. house. and till you and Mr. Alcohol had
the difficulty about the payment of a bill
which you had tun up at a store were you
not frequently seen in his company?
Wit.—-I was, it is true, but I had not then
learned his bad character. As soon as ldis-
covered this, l~d8cllnc(l all fainter intercourse
with him; _ .
An. Ap -—iVfell, sir, did you not for a
length ufiime encourage your sons 10' fre-
quent the company of Mr. Alcohol; and did
you never tell them to invite him home with
them .. .

well as I do now. g .

to a llUl‘at’ race, :iml there they iiinst drink
with all his particular friends. T'tie,;e are‘
some ofihe niany ways he has do-.vlsed and
practiced to seduce young men and obtain
their property. When their money was;
goiie, and want came upon them, their idle‘
habits ft.itl)2ld(! their :iilt’lItllfl'.‘_’ to any labor,-
and their froqiieiit fits of diuiiketincsv had
destroyed their sense of sliaine, so without
