I had no objection to this law ;l- it was very casv to | evade its penalty by taking advantage of that w ord ; “nitriiilsil “ There was as much liquor drank as though it had not been in force In 1811 your own legislature took the matter in hand, and amended the act of 177D. The people had discovered that liquor .sellers wuv generally what the world call- had people, ami they thought to rectify this matter < poor innocent*) h\ law. They enacted, therefore, that any person applying for li cense,, should “satisfy the court that he or she is of sufficient probity and not addicted to any yrom im oiornhty. W:t not that rich? This act also made jit an intfulitblf offence to sell without license, and proposed to punish the offenders by a fin,.; Ul „| made it the r -peeiiil duty of the constable to inform against and prosecute the violntois of the law l laughed at them all More liquor was sold, and more drunkards were made than before. Thefts and murders, and all varieties of crime, were rife all over the country. T he. drinking hou.-es became (he gambling houses, and the focus of all the vice nnd immorality in their vicinity. And the legislature thought they could rectify this by making the rum seller take mi oath. I In, bn, ha’ a nuuseller’s oath! But then was not he a man of “probity V” uml wn.s be not free from any “gross immorality . ” Well, in : 1817 they amended the law so as to nuiki him foL ; on oath in open court that he w ould not permit “any I gaming of any kind Intake place in hi- house.”- 1 That was rich. I had him before, but now his per jured soul was doubly damned; lor, though gaming was made more private, it was a- common as he t fore. The Legislature discovered t.hi- offer a time, and ! thought it must be owing to th. character of the ; men who sold the liquor. \itd o it was. They were men after my own heart, sir, Those who en gage in this business are not apt to he eery pntlicu bir about o.’iths. The work ol death went on—vice i and profligacy increased, and the w ise men of Ten | ticsse.e, alter six years trial of this irnpioveuient. dr-; ter mined to make sure of goad men to sell liquor for them; and so in 182:’. they enacted that “hereafter no t’minty court shall grant license to any person j hatsoever, unless -iich person -hall prin t in oprii j l oori , by creditable witnessc.-, that such person so; applying has a good morn/ rlntntrUr. “And in no j case shall license be granted, il the Court be of the | opinion that the retailing of spirititou- liquorsi- the; principal object of obtaining license; and il -hull U>; the duly ol the Clerk, whenever application is made | for license, and before the testimony is heard, to j read this net in the prenencc ol the court,” Now, from this law, I did fear a flightdioiirmtionl of mv business and influence; for, if in any case the} court happened to be ternpcraiire men, (and by this j time they had begun to form temperance Societies) I j there might have been some little difficulty in gef- j I ting license for the men w fioni I preferred. Though, j ias to that, it would he only a little while before the } loisintnn itrelj’ would have made them ju-t w hat I 1 would hate them Hut I thought it best, on the ’ whole, to counteract the force of this law, and I | therefore intimated to some of my friends that it was a burning ,-hame that they should not have the privilege of making their constituent- drunk on election day - 11 f haul, ami that they probably lost many a vole by having no liquor about the pollx. Anti they, in 1827, secured the passage of a law p( i milling “Iho i persons at who’' 1 hoii-t elections i arc held, should have the privilege oi -riling oit/i- out license on election and inn-u r day-.’ Then, j you see, I Men elected lltider Sltcli ail pice-would not Ik* <vr// decided temperance men. And accordingly, in 1831, they Weight down the license to twenty-live dollars; and tie- nest Legisla ture, 183 b, finding that these men who had “ptoml i ;,i typen court” that they loci a “ijuml mood rhnrac \M” would ell liquor to the situ- and make them I drunk, required them to take another oath; “I.

I his law was fried for eight years. 1 did not ex actly’ like it, for it made retailing a disreputable business, by taking away from it the sanction of the law. 1 consequently exerted myself in 1840, and obtained its repeal. I knew it was not worth w hile to try any longer to keep up the fiction that liquor seller.- were men of good moral ehmaeler. I feared that people might object to men coming with their witness into open court to prove a good moral char acter, when the vi ry objrrt sot which they came wus such, that no dm at mini, as the temperance men counted decency, would ho willing to engage in it. This Legislature was therefore content to ordain “that it should lie lawful fur any person” (scoundrel ,or villaini “to sell, etc ,by paying R State tax of ’ but that the county or incorporation town might impose an additional tax of the same amount. It farther ordained that the retailer, his clerk-and agents should take the same oat.lm about selling to negroes, Ac., that were required by the Acts of 1817~:i l and off and further prohibited Jim nr , if roe* from getting license, and forbade all selling on the .Sabbath day. This law made it Injut to sell, but it did not try to make it tnoialor respectable, f did not cure for that, however. 1 merely suggested to in y friends and part ners that they would put a m-rmi just inside their door when ii opened on n public (reef, so that they need uot Im i.ipomd to tire gaze of the w orld; and ia large Hotels, I advised that the “liar” should lie re moved to tin basement, and have a.separate entrance, that it might do its work of death as effectually as ever, without affecting the respectability ofthc house.

YVo accordingly started, and, after sailing about 1 1 live miles, a young lady of the company declined going further, and requested tis to land her on otic of the small islands in tho hat hn, where she proposed to remain until our return. My little hoy, then about four years old, preferred remaining with her. Accordingly, we left them, and proceeded six miles further. W’c continued out much longer than we intended, and, a.s night ap preached, a thick fog sol in from the sea, entirely enshrouding us. Without a compass, and not know ing the right direction to steer, wo groped our war along for several hours, until finally wo distinguish ed the breaking of the surf on the rocks of one ol the i-lnmN, hut were at, a loss to know which one ot them. I stood upon the stern of tho boat which l had been steering, nnd shouted with all my strength 1 listened a moment, and heard, through the thick log, and above the tweaking of the surf, the sweet voice of my hoy, calling. “t’ome this way, father! steer for me; I’m fieri waiting for you I” We Steered by that sound, and soon my little boy leaped into rny arms with joy, saying; “1 knew you would hear me, father!” and nestled to sleep on my bosom. The child uinl maiden are both sleeping now.—- They died two short weeks after the period I now refer to, with hardly an interval of time between their deaths. Now tossed on tho rough sen of life, w ithout a comps:: or guide, enveloped in fog nd sunomided by rocks, I soern to hear the sound ot the cherub voice, calling from the bright shore, “(’ome this way, father! steer straight for rnol” U hen, oppressed with sadness, I take my wav to ooi ipiict cctnctei v, Rtill, an I stand by one little mound, the >amc miwictd voice echoes from thence “f’otne (hi way, father’ I'm waiting for thee!” | Mother'll Mitqiltim OlllUl.t 01 VAHIOI'S TRk’JJIi, PLANTS AMR NHIUbS.
