the ex-barkeeper resumed, « in rum-selling
atid drinking—for I have done a great deal
of both in- my time—that would be rather
too long to tell to-night, and one that 1
would much rather foigpt than. Relate. It
makes me tremble and sick at hearfe;-when
ever I look npon the evil that I have done;
I therefore usually look ahead, with the
hope of doing some good to my fellow men.
But there is one incident 1'will relate.
For the lari, five years, a hard working
mechanic, with a wife and seven small chil
dren, came regularly, almost evory night,
to my place, and spent the evening in my
bar-room. He came to drink of course, and
many a dollar of his hard earnings went in-
to my till. At last ho became a perfect sot,
working scarcely one fourth of the time,
and spending all he earned for liquor. His
poor Wife had to take in washing to support
herself and children, while he spent his
time and what little he eould earn at my
bar. But his appetite, for liquor was so
strong, that his week’s earnings were usu
ally gone by Tneaday or Wednesday, and
then I had to chalk up a score against him,
to be paid off Wheh Saturday night came.
This score gradually increased until Tt
amounted to three or four dollars over his
Saturday night’s pay. When I refused to sell
him any more liquor until it was settled.—
On the day after 1 had thus refused him, he
name in With * neat mourning breast pin*
enclosing some hair, 1 thought, of a deceas-.
ed relative. This he offered in payment for
What he owed. 1 accepted it, for the pin 1
saw at once was worth double the amount of
my bill. 1 did not think, nor did 1 care,
about the question, whether he owned it or
not; I wanted my own, and in my selfish
eagerness to get it, I hesitated not to take a
little more than my own.
1 laid the breast pin away, and all things
went on smoothly for a while. But he grad
ually .got behind. This time he brought me
a pair of brass andirons, and a pair of brass
candlesticks, and 1 took them, and wiped off
the score against him. At last he brought
a.large family Bible, and I took that too-
thinking, no doubt, I could sell it for some
thing.
On the Sunday afterwards, having noth
ing to do—for l used to shut my bar on Sun
days, thinking it was not respectable to sell
liquor—1 opened this poor drunkard's Bible,
scarcely thinking of what 1 was doing. The
first place 1 turned was to the family record.
There it was stated that, upon a certain day
he had been married to Emily . 1 had
known Emily when 1 was a young man
Very well, and had onee thought very seri
ously offering myself to her in marriage.
I remembered her happy young face, and,
seemed suddenly to hear a tone of merry
laughter.
Pool creature! I sighed voluntarily, as a
thought of her present condition crossed my
foind, ahd With no pleasant feelings.
I tamed OTer another leaf. There was
tbe record of the birth of her four children;
the last had been made recently, and was
in the mother s hand.
I never had such strange feelings as now
come over me. I felt that I had no busi
ness with this hobk; bat 1 tried to stifle my
feelings, and turned over several' leaves
quickly. A: I suffered my eyes to rest upon
an open page, these words arrested my at-
tention:
« Wine is a mocker, strong drink is rag
ing; whoso is deceived thereby is not wise.”
This was just the subject that, under the
VMrf I foe* bad, 1 wished to aVoid, and
ao I referred to another place. There I read:
- < Who hath woo r Who hath sorrow r—
Who hath wounds l Who Hath babbling;—
Who hath redness of eyes i They that tor-
ty long at foe wine. At lost it bitoth like
nksrpent and stingeth like on adder.'

beggared families. In the'brief sleep that
I obtained, I dreafried that 7 saw a long line
of tottering drunkards with their wives .and
children fn Vags. And; a loud Voice said :
< Who hath done this ?’
The answer, in a still louder voice, direct-
ly it felt to me smote ilpon hly ear like a
ptal of thunder—
«Thou art the man V
From this troubled slumber I awoke to
sleep no more that night. In the morning
the last and most powerful conflict came.—
The question to be decided, was—
< Shall 1 open my bar, or at once abandon
the dreadful traffic in liquor position ?’
i
Hapily I decided never to put any one's
lip to' the cup of confusion. My next step
was to turn the spicket of every keg or bar-
rell of spirits, wine, beer, or cider, and let
the contents escape on the floor. My bot
tles and decaqtors were likewise emptied.—
Then I signed your Total Abstinence Pledge;
and what is better, never rested until I had
pursuaded the man whose bible has been of
so much use'to me, to sign the pledge like
wise.
Fear not Uach sudden sound and shock,
Tis'of the ware and not the foci:!
’Tis but tlie flapping of foe sail,
And not a rent mad* by the gale!
In spite offook and tentpo'st rcaV, ■
In spite of false lights on the shore,
Sail oh, nor fear to breast the sea!
Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee ;
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our
fears,
Are all with thee—are all with thee!
And now, Mr. President, I am keeping a
temperance grocery, and am making resti
tution as fast as possible. There are at
least half a dozen families, to. whom 1 fur-
nish .a small quantity of groceries every
week, to many places equal to the amount
tluit used to be spent at my bar for liquor..
Four of my Oldest and best customers have
already signed the pledge by my persuasion.
I am not going to rest until every man 1
helped to rain is.restored to himself, his fam
ily, and society.*
A round of hearty applause followed this
address, and then another of the reformed
drinkers took the floor.
From the Chronicle & Sentinel.
Tiie Vice of intemperance!
The alarming increase, of intemperance,
nnd the extraordinary amount of crime and
vice growing out of it, are creating a pro
found sensation in tbe minds of the lovers of
order and morality throughout the land,
and everywhere people are canvassing in
their minds foe means to be adopted of abat
ing an evil of so great enormity. That it is
a nuisance of extraordinary enormity, no
candid, unprejudiced man, whose opinions
are of any value,.and who has taken any
pains to observe the Course of events and foe
amount of crime resulting from intemper
ance and drunkenness, can or will pretend
to deny. It becomes then the highest duty
of foe citizen, patriot and philanthropist, to
deliberately investigate and calmly resolve
upon (he most available means of abating
such a nuisance. That they have the pow
er and that it is their duty, we entertain no
more doubt than we do of their power to-a-
bate any other- nuisance, and we all know
that they have plenty power to abate many
uuisahees hot ofie hundredth part so destruc
tive to life, liberty, and the good order,
peace, dignity and morals of society, as that
of intemperance.
We have been led to these remarks, by
reading the following extract from the Pre
sentments of the Grand Jury of Gass coun
ty. Similar sentiments had previously em
anated from a Grand Jury of foe same
county, and also trum Monroe county. The
question presented is, of grave importance,
and must sooner or .later be met by the peo;
pie, to be 'decided upon its merits. ’ Let

If they are patriots and philanthropists,
they can arrive at but one conclusion, to
abate the nuisance, by prohibiting foe sale
at retail of intoxicating drinks.
We are not unmindful of foe fact that foe
utterance of this sentiment will excite among
tbe demagogues of foe day and foe ale-house
politicians, He little clamor. We are pre
pared for all this. We have surveyed foe

deep anxiety foe progress ot drunkenness,
and the-doily increase of crime foe immedi
ate consequence of it, and we are prepared ,

A Brim Woman.
We find in the Havana correspondence of
the N. 6. Picayune, the following acount of
a heroic woman, a brief notice of whom has’,
been before published:
Several women, said to be implicated I*
these schemes, are also under arrest. One
of these a Senorita Guerra, a young lady of
eighteen years of age, of surpassing beauty,
was brought here recently from Puerto
Principe. Its said it was discovered that
she was in correspondence with some, expa
triated relative in the North, and at the
time of her arrest was found embroidering
the lone star flag of Cuba, besides having
been overheard to indulge rather too freely
in her opinions of the Spanish authorities.
The conduct of this girl, since her confine-;
meht here, has created a general feeling of
admiration, even among the detested Cata
lans, from her indomitable courage and in
dependence. When asked if she was not
very sorry for what she had done, and if she
wonld be willing to abandon the pernicious
ideas which she had been disseminating at
Principe»she replied that her own conscience
exonerated her for anything she had done in
Venturing openly tt express her opinions in
regard to her country’s oppressors, and that
those opinions would never change. Belong-
ing to a respectable family, and the cell in
which she was placed in solitary confinement
being without any kind of furniture, the
governor of. foe jail, a very human sort of
person, felt some consideration for her, and
offered to make foe place more comfortable.
‘ You may,* said she, if you choose, send ine
a table, a wash basin, looking glass and a
bottle of pomatum.,—Would yon not also
like to have a cot to lay down upon ?—
(there being only a raised stone bench for
the prisoners to sleep upon.) < Just as you
think proper, governor,’ she replied. ■< I
would undergo greater hardships than this;
sleeping on cold stones would cause me no
inconvenience if my poor .services could in
any way conduce to the liberty and inde
pendence of my adored country.’ Two or
three other females were brought from Prin
cipe about the s ime time, charged with simi
lar offences.”
Ail Editor iff the Bines.
The editor of the Saratoga Republican,
ours forth his lamentations in the IbIMwins
pours forth 1
indignant strains:
Printing Establishment for Sale..—.
Having made precisely money enough ai tbe
printing business, £he subscriber is satisfied
to give up and retire to the poor house. Un-
der these circumstances, he is induced to of
fer the Saratoga Republican for sale! The.
paper has a circulation of about 1000—one
fourth of which may be called paying, and
the other throe-fourths non-paying patrons.
Tlie office has a good variety of lob type arid,
a fair run of work of this description, pro
vided the work is done at the reduced New
York prices, and the printer will take •< cats
and dogs” for pay. This vil'kge is one of
the prettiest places in tbe world for a news
paper publisher. Every body wi II find fattltj
dh the best yon can, and the editor. who .
pliases Himself will stand but a slim chance
of pleasing any body else. The subscrip
tion list arid good will of foe office will be
thrown in if the purchaser will take the
type, presses and materials for what tiny
are worth, and pay for them, so that there,
will be no probability of the present preprh
eior being obliged to take foe establishment
back and return to the business.
