Come Home!
Brother dear, why dost thou stay
From thy home so long- away ?
Knowest thou not fond are watehing,
Praying for thee ever}’ day ?
When two years ago you left us,
Withered leaves were falling fast;
‘Thickly were trie rain drops pouring,
Hoarsely wailed the Autumn blast.
Mother’s face was pale and solemn,
Father could not say Good bye ;
And my tears were falling faster.
Than the raindrops from the sky.
Just two years—how many changes
Can in that short time be wrought!
O, that we could learn to bear them
Meekly, and as Christians ought!
Brother, in our household circle
Now is seen one vacant chair;
Mother’s gone, and O, how lonely
Tjeems our household when she’s not there!
‘When she lay upon her Death-bed,
Oft ffce blessed her absent son,
Prayed that she in heaven might meet you,
AYhcn your earthly race was run.
The above lines were written by a girl only thir
teen years old, to a brother of nineteen, who two
years ago left-liis’home on Staten Island, against the
wishes of bis parents. He is now in this city.
Troy, N. Y., Oct. 18, 1854.
Liquor Laws of Georgia.
The Wilkes Republican says—“ There is a law
upon our statute book which, though of comparative
ly recent enactment, has, no doubt, been overlooked
by nine out of every ten lawyers in the State, and
of which the people, especially merchants, are wholly
ign rant, for there is not a town or village in the
State where it is not daily and openly violated. AYe
allude to the act of 1838, to regulate the sale of spir
ituous liquors, to be found in Cobb’s Digest, page
1030. It is the general impression that our penal
statutes all refer to the retail of liquors in quantities
less than one quart, which is a gross error. The act
in question prohibits its sale in quantities loss than a
gallon, except on certain conditions, a failure to com
ply with which on the part of the vender, subjects
him to “all the pains and penalties which a person
retailing without license is now subject to by law.”
It is unnecessary to copy the entire act, and we
give only those sections that hear immediately upon
the point under consideration. After reciting the
oath to be taken and subscribed, before the Clerk of
the Inferior Court, by a person applying for a retail
license, the Act proceeds as follows:
Sec. ITT. From and after the first day of June next,
and annually thereafter, each and every person who
may or shall become a vender of any measure or
quantity 7m than one gallon of distilled spirituous or
intoxicating liquor, shall and are hereby required to
take and subscribe the above and foregoing oalh.
See. TY. Upon the neglect or refusal of any person
so required to take and subscribe the above and fore
going oath, each and every person so neglecting or
refusing shall he and arc hereby made liable and sub
ject to all the pains and penalties which a person re
tailing without license is now subject to by law.
Courage—Steady.
There never was a time in the history of the tem
perance reformation, when openness of purpose and ;
union of effort was more needed than the present.—
We have moved on steadily and resolutely hitherto,
and have reached a position which a few years since j
was di cmed the height of fanaticism to speak of. Pol-;
iticinns begin to think that temperance men should he ,
respectfully treated, and that some concessions might;
he very advantageously made to them. Editors of
papers who used to consider temperance, and speak
of it, as an impertinent interfere ncc with the social
enjoyment of gentlemen, now insist upon tnc extin
guishment of ‘low groceries where rum is sold,
Members of the legislature who used to denounce the
cau-c of temperance, and openly desecrate the hail
of legislation by their drunken orgies, are now found
missing, and public opinion is fast urging them on.
We say, then, to the friends of temperance, be united,
concentrate vour power, relax r.o effort, indulge no
fearful doubts, and our word for it, the good time
coming ill 1> • here sooner than the great mass of ex
pectants have dared to anticipate.

Now we would not takemir.selvi - to affirm f at in

and unsafe to allow such a tact to s, rve as a mitiga
tion “f the crime of shedding human blood, lie who
voluntarily “puts an enemy in his mouth to steal
away his brains,” must be held responsible for his
insane acts. It would he making public justice a
mockery, to use a crime against morals as a shield,
to any extent, for crime against law. There is some
reason to appreh nd that our jurymen arc commit
ting this mistake. If it be so the public interest im
peratively demand that it should he corrected.—-Y.

Statistics of Liquor Manufacture in the Uni
ted States.
from the last census we glean the following impor
tant facts relative to the quantities of grain malted or
distilled, per annum, in the United States :
Bushels of corn distilled, 11007,(ill l
Bushels of rye distilled, 8,143 927
Bushels of oats distilled, 00,717
Bushels of apples distilled, 526,840
Bushels of barley malted, 3,787 195
Tons of hops malted, 1,294
Hogsheads of molasses distilled, 01.076
The aggregate value of these products, at average
prices, will not vary much from $14,643,727. What
! a waste!

From these products are manufactured:
Gallons of whisky. 42,183,955
Gallons of rum, 0,500,000
Barrels of ale, 1,777,924
The aggregate value of these liquors, at wholesale
prices, will be about $16,940,897.
Besides t!*e above, there are made 221,221 gal:••!
of wine, and an inconceivable amount of “had li

domestic and foreign drugs in their manufacture, hut
which are not counted in their manufacture, though
their effects are felt—sadly felt—in the u-o.
A Beautiful Blunder.
Tail’s Edinburgh Magazine, a prominent magazine
in Scotland, and supported by souk of the best tal
ent of John Bull, says, in a late number, that “a
Senator from the chivalrie South, having liquored at
the bar and successfully invited a brother Senator or
two to liquor at the far, throws hard boiled eggs at
the sacred impels-nation of Government and the j
popular will. Within the shadow of the capitol, j
thus ignominious!)’ is damaged the hat of the repre-1
resentative of the star-spangled banner. The pop-1
pulacc assembled do not calculate on making any i
demonstration of surprise. What is the use of free- j
do:ri if you can’t talrn it:-!il -rii s? But the Senator j
is taken into custody and placed in the lock-up.— j
Hi* liquor cvapor.-.i- ; s.nd L r< •••!•. a never to sur
vive the ignominy of being imprisoned i . default of
bail. Tears bona fide travellers, course down his
innocent nose, as whipping out his jam-knife the Sen
ator stabs himself —in the leg.”
This is charmingly iich. A Senator attacking the
hat. of the President of the United States and then
in remorse—no doubt for the loss of his eggs—stab
bing himself in the legs. The whole story is quirot
ised out of the drunken frolic of a young n an last
summer and made to furnish capital fir a tirade
again-1 “our Yankee relations..” The article from :
which we extract the above, is a fierce assault on i
America and American ways threatening British!
vengere c if wc do not mind our manners and our
morals. But if John Bull cannot fight with any
more accuracy than he <■• write, we should have
much to fear from his bullets.- - M ntgMftery Mail.

Drunken Women.
iho j , lice department of Washington City, (s.iy
an Exchange,) recently jiiekul up a good looking
woman who was lying drunk in the streets. With
her vvas a heautilul child just able to run about her,
and brill • tears to the ev es of thus • who witnessed
her r.ambois. flic mother lins a husband living. In
mercy to the chili!, both were sent to the workhouse.
Ui iv it not that newspapers tell the truth, and
that our observation aad our own senses hear testi
mony to similar lac'*', o • could hardly believe the
foregoing. Here is several things necessary forms
to take into consideration :
Ist. Here is a “good-looking woman drunk.'’ She
had so l alien from wliat she was designed to he, and
no doubt, might, have been, that, though good-look
in;, in the estimation of the reporter, she has lost the
“lady. Sim may, once, have been beautiful, but
has s ink a grade below—from lady to woman, and
from beautiful to “good-looking.”
22. She was “picked itji.” “ Was lying illunk in
the streets.” Poor degraded creature! Exjiosed to
wagons, horses and drays, under the weight, of which
she is liable to ho crushed.
3d. “With her Mas a beautiful child just able to
run about her.” This child, no doubt, is the image
of what that mother was before she fell from the
“beautiful” to the “good-looking.'’ Poor little suf
fering innocent! crawling about and running around
a drunken mother in the street.
411 1. This scene brought tears “to the eyes of those
who witnessed her gambols.” Well it might! Had
any of the witnesses, ft mother, a wife, a sister, or a
j daughter) But this sight only brought “( sirs to
the eyes.” How could men of sensitive hearts hold
back their tears from tracing each other in quick sue
cession,From the eyes,down the cheek, and onto the
rocks where the poor unfortunate creature lay)
sth. But “the mother has a husband living.”
Where is he? Has In- gone, like many others, to
California? Or is he here near by this scene of hu
man degradation and sulferin; ? Ila once swore -at
the altar—eternal (aithfulncss to her, who, u ilh his
child, is thus neglected. Perhaps similarly degraded. :
oth. “In mercy to the child, both were sent to
the work house.” There are degrees in disgrace and!
degradation. Though il, is degrading to he sent to
the work-house, yet it is done “in mercy;” and the
poor woman, though vet acknowledged to he “good:
looking,” shares not the sympathies “of those who j
witnessed her gambols,” so far ns to have that much
attention paid her, but merely “in mercy to the child,
both are sent to the work-house.” Poor unfortunate
creature ! She has mil-lived her friends.
7th. But this scene ol human disgrace took place |
in “Washington (lily!” The seatof Government of
these United States; while ail talk of “Liberty’s god
dess has long spread lier silver wings; where Liber
ty is said to he enjoyed by lice, independent and ban
jo,’ American citizens. Look at, the great number of
! men. Mid M idi them, beautiful “ good looking” wo
j men, submitting In take upon them the galling yoke
| of tnc tyrant, from the land of robbers.
If appears that St. Louis i , not the only city w a re
j women get, drunk and disgrace ‘heir sex. Let us
j apply legal suasion, in behalf of our country. Ladies
I look at. this, and say, will you not help ns?
Moral and Legal Rights.
Wc hear a great deal said about the rights of tlm
liquor seller, and that any restriction of the traffic is
an unjust and illegal interference with the moral and
legal rights of that class of the community. Wc de
sire to know by m hat article in the world’s code of
ethics the rutnseller claims the light of rendering
families poor and miserable, and at the same time
impose unnecessary taxes upon the community?-
Has lie a moral right to beggar the wives and cliil
dn nos his neighbors ? Has he a legal right, to blast
the fame of his fellow-men and eternally damn his
1 brother? Can the jiriuciple he recognized ?
(’an human law confer the legal right upon a mail
! to ns ■ his means to fill jail-’ with criminals, crowd any-!
Iliimsjwith idiots and paupers and load the gallows ■
vvith strangling felons? Who gives the iuuiscllcr
I the moraljfriglit to destroy the hi ightness of home
! and to hurst asunder the hopes that are anchored at
1 the fin side altar? By what right does he curse a
community vvith fights, riots, and impose on honest
men tin burthen of paying taxes to support the dig
nity of the common law?
The rights of the ramsellur have been held uj> be
fore us to deter us from the course we have marked 1
out ever since we first |<ut our nil) to jiajier against
the nun-curse. Where docs lie base his rights?—
Will someone answer? We pause for reply.

Margaret Mas dissatisfied with this state of things
and endeavored to git. her husband back ngain.
We sh ’ll see henv she succeeded:
“Now, Patrick, my honey, will yo come hack?”
“No, Margari I, 1 won’t come hack.”
“And won t ye com..’ back for the love of the

“Nol lor ihe love of the children, .Margaret.”

“Niver at all; May wid ye.”
“An Patrick, won’t the love of tho ehuivii firing

“The church to (lie divil, and (him 1 won’t, come
back.”
Margaret thought she would try one other indue,
ment. ‘I ailing a jiinf bottle of whiskey from her

said
“\A ill ye come home for tin ilr.aj) of whisky ?”
“All, me darlint,” answered Patrick, unable to

Attack on Liquor Shops by Women,
The Kalamazoo (Mich.) Telegraph furnishes the
particulars of a descent made on the grogc-erii: of
| Otsego, by the wimi.'ii of that place, in consequence
of an insult offered by a dealer to a fennio whose
drunken husband visited big house. The Telegraph
| says.
Tho womon of the village, to (lie number of 38,
armed with axes and hatchets, formed a procession
j and marched upon the destroyers of their domestic
peace. Proceeding to the hotel, they commenced a
!a, general demolition of decanters, jugs, tumblers
i aid barrels, when the proprietor, best, clung them to
d< si.-t, came to terms, and gave bond not to sell any
nwie liquor for six months, after which they quietly
withdrew. I hey then jn oe.ceeded to several gro
ve: ii . where liquors were sold. One of the keejiers,
after a portion of his stock had been destroyed, sign
ed the required tionil. Another refused, when they
poured out his stock of liquors, amidst the greatest
ox< it im ill. Dining the operation the proprietor
rudely grasped one of the females and hurled her
buck, whereupon he was seized and most thoroughly
drenched in his own liquor. II ■ received several
very severe injuries in the melee. After having ac
complished this the women quietly dispersed.
Tho Two Pictures!
The people of Oswego, New York, for two years
were exempt from the curse of the Hum traffic, by
the verdict of her jieojile at the polls. Peace reigned
in her borders, lmpjiiriess was restored to many nf
Hi ‘ted faniilie ; enine was becoming unfrequent, and
poverty a rare exception to the general prosperity.
In nn evil hour the advocates of rum again triumphed,
and thr traffic was resumed. Drunkenness once more
spread like a great cloud of darkness over the place,
and blotted out the sunlight of happiness from main
a household. Grime became rampant, cases of pov
erty and wretchedness were multiplied; and death
stalked abroad gat boring fresh victims from the haunts
of intemperance. Twenty-one victims to delirium
tremens occurred in a short time. These arc facts.
1 it a wonder tho people demand prohibition?

exclaiming, “That is the last of my drinking liquor, 1
