What though in the gloom of moral death TV inebriate long hath lain V There’s a power abroad witha quick’ning breath Theta’s a cheering voice which ever saith “ Thy brother shall rise again.” Wl.at though lie lies in a prison dark;* Past bound with on iron chain! Thera’* an arm that can his prison shako — There's a power that can bis fetters break— “ Thy brother shall rise again ” W hat though the poison is at work. The fi ,'onsumes his brain 1 Therein an antidote supreme, There ever flows a cooling stream , •'* Thy brother shall rise again.” What though he totters on his way. And groans with ceaseless pain 1 There is a friend to lean upon,— Whose ear will hear the suflfrer’s moan, *' Thy brother shall rise again.” Poor fallen one ! raise up thy head! Ifthou wilt but abstain, Prom the poison thou hast loved too well, From the fire that lights the way to hell, Thou’lt surely rise again O, sign the pledge—and trust in God—- It will not be in vain; There is a rainbow in the sky— A pledge of hope—to signify— That thou shalt rise again. But if in sin and sorrow still Thou ehoosest to remain, Alas ! alas! I mourn thy fate! Ere long thoul’t find it is too late For thee to rise again ! Charleston, July VJth, 1843 Intemperance and Crime in New York. An official report of some interest to legislators and philanthropists, was re cently submitted to the New York Legis lature. It relates to the convictions in that State, throughout the year 1842. We avail ourselves of its prominent facts as condensed by the editor of the Roches ter Democrat. During the year alluded to, there were 1602 convictions in the various courts of record in the State. Os this number there were 1491 inales and 111 females. The punishments were by line in 670 cases. State Prison, 539. County prison, 244. Fine and imprison ment,6o. House of refuge, 52. Deaths, s.—Sentence suspended in 31 cases, and in one case a new trial was ordered. Os the 5 sentenced to death, 3 were executed, l commuted to imprisonment, and one commiUou suicide. Os the 1602, 100 were colored persons and 2 Indians. Tho reports show the following results as to their habits in the use of ardent spirits : Temperate, - - - GSO Intemperate, or occasionally so, 559 Unknown, 82 Tho number of convictions in courts of special sessions, is set down at 2741, of which 2355 were males, and 386 fe males. For petit larceny, 1561. Assault and battery, 1048. In these courts the convictions have been as follows the three last years: 1810, - - 2680 1841, - - 3054 1842, - - 2741 Os tho last number, their habits are classed thus: Intemperate, or occasionally so, 020 Temperate, - - • 603 Unknown, - - - 106 We subjoin a synopsis of the number of convictions in the courts of record for the last thirteen years : 1830 1059 1837 1091 1831 956 1838 1086 1832 960 1839 1118 J 833 1113 1840 1343 ■0 : 1834 869 1841 1515 1835 1076 1842 1602 1836 963 Tho crimes of those convicted in 1842,! in courts of record, may be classed as fol lows : Offences against property, 504 Forgery, 66 Selling liquorwitkout license, 128 Riot, - * * 61 Trespass, - - - 23 % Keeping disorderly house, • 54 Gambling house keepers, - 11 Horse racing, - - - 5 Nuisance, - - -12 Perjury, - - 9 Publishing obscene papers, 8 Selling lottery tickets, - 5 Bigamy, - . . -9 Usury, ... 2 Os the 1336 persons convicted by the courts of special sessions of the cities, there were, Bakers, 11 Blacksmiths, 24 Boatmen, 35 Butchers, 10 Carpenters, 23 Laborers, 247 Marines, 34 Masons. 17 Sailors, 33 Seamstresses, 16 Servants, 26 Shoemakers, 27 Spinsters, 41 Stonecutters, 10 Tailors, 28 Printers, 0 ‘’Gentlemen,” of no occupation, 583 A useful lesson may be drawn from i.. j. j—«i i I tips table.

Reg. bj Reduced consumption of intoxicating liquors in the city of Baltimore : | Importations from July Ist, 1842, to (July Ist, 1843, for home consumption: | Irish arid Scotch Whiskey, 282 galls. Cordials, 11 “ Rhenish Wine 3» 512 “ Light Wines, chiefly claret, 841 “ Madeira Wines, not exported, 414 “ ;Holland Gin, ‘ 2263 “ i German Refer, 288 “ | English Ale, Beer and Porter, none | Brandies, none Rum, none 5150 galls. of all kind, (above 50 hhds.) During the same rear the entire fees of the public guager for the inspecting of intoxicating poisons, amounted to only sl9 69, where jas his predecessors for a long series cf (years in no instand? averaged less than SIOO per month. Such a result must be (highly gratifying, not only to the early • laborers in the cause offi’emperance in ; Baltimore, as well as to the noble army of | Washingtonians. i At a great meeting held in London, j(Earl Stanhope presiding,) the most as tounding disclosures took place relative to the use of various poisonous drugs, in the ! rnanuiacture of wine and malt liquor. It | was ascertained that one druggist alone sold 2500 .bags of coculus indicus in a single year to the brewers, while not aj bag of that pernicious drug, during several! “ years, had passed through the custom I house under that name. At a great Temperance Festival held in i Staffordshire, Dr. Sewall’s Mammoth Drawings of the Hftian Stomach were ■ exhibited to a great assemblage with as i tonishing effect; after which, upwards of thirty colored colossal drawings of other 1 sections of the human system were also exhibited and explained by a distinguish i ed physician—all of which depicting the ■ ravages occasioned by what is termed the temperate, as well as the intemperate U3e of alcoholic poisons. At a public meeting in London, a reso lution was passed to place Dr. Sewall’s colossal drawings in places of great public resort throughout the Kingdom. We extract the following from the So. i Ca. Temperance Advocate : ‘ Phenomenon In the history of assemblages. At Adamsville Muster Ground on the * first Saturday instant, a scene was enacted worthy the admiration of all the friends of 1 the Temperance Reform. There were assembled at that place about one hun dred and twenty-five to fifty persons. I Among them three men with cider, pre pared to Retail. But they were woiully disappointed, for the good people of Ad -1 amsville have determined that King Alco hol shall reign over them no longer, not even when he conies concealed in a barrel of Bill George, (Hard Cider.) One of 1 the cidor men sold seventeen cents worth! in discount. He returned with a long! face, saying lie would carry no more cider; to that place. Another of them sold the! amount of twenty cents cash for his trou-| bio, —and the other, we think, perhaps j ‘ sold two quarts on a credit. Consequent ly, when Muster was over, the people re turned soberly and quietly to their peace ful homes and families; and as they went, they looked exactly like the same good ‘ orderly and quiet citizens, who left their • pleasant homes in the morning. | So much for the Temperance cause— jand we fondly indulge the hope, that the cause may progress, until no man will be | foolish enough to insult our citizens by carrying a barrel of Cider, or jug of ofd j ßald-face , to any of our Muster grounds. ! Hum-Selling Abandoned from Principle. ■ ; In an Obituary notice of the late Capt. John Pierson of Bangor, (Me..) we find the following passage.—6’. C. Tp. Adv. “The cause of temperance found him !an early, firm, consistent friend. He once dealt largely in intoxicating drinks ; but ! when the light reached him, the traffic was abandoned, and he labored diligently to undo the mischief he hand done. The writer once heard him say, ‘he did not doubt that through the medium- of this traffic, he had caused the death of more than a hundred men; and the tone of his voice, the tear in his eye, as he said this betokened the deep sorrow of his heart.” There’s an example for you! “When the light reached him, the traffic was ) abandoned!” Rum-seller, has not the , light reached you ? If you wish to die ir. peace, relinquish your business, and re pair as far as possible the injury it has caused. A Curious “ Wav.”—A large import er of spirit in our goodly city, advertises thus:—“S. A. Way has just received b\ the Hollander, Holland Gin and Gola Watches.'' What a curious medley!— Who that drinks “ Holland Gin” will long l own a gold watch ?—{iV. Y. Wash. ll The Two Cents. A Grocer in Clinton County sold a drunkard a pint of new rum according to law, and made two red cents clear profit. I The drunkard shot his son-in-law while intoxicated; and his apprehension, oon -’finement in jail, execution, &c. cost the jCountj more than one thousand dollars— • which temperate men had to earn by the sweat of their brows! What say you. Tax-payers ? Are you willing to pay a thousand dollars to enable the grog-seller to make two red cents ? But the Larabee case is comparatively! nothing when contrasted with a recent; transaction about the Ist of July, 1843.; An Indian, one of those half-civilized rum loving creatures who abound in the West stepped out of Cattaraugus County into the • State of Pennsylvania, where, it seems, ymen sell, indulgences to sin, as well as in = ithe Empire State ; and then filled his 5 pocket-bottle with real ‘Red-Eye,’ and • the seller of the poison made two red cents clear profit again. h While under its maddening influence, ; ,he went into a farmer’s house near by ' with whom he was totally unacquainted ' and murdered a mother and five children ; ! all that comprised the little family, except i !the husband and lather who was from’ I home. When he returned to his little ’(interesting family what a sight met his! ■;eyesjr—enough, it would seem, to curdle! qhk blood, and change the man to stone. There lav the mother and her five little , -j, f * ' ones:—from ten years of age down to in- I fancy, stretched upon the floor—swim -1! ming in blood, and all dead! Oh! what ‘Jdesolation was there!! j“No more for him the blazing hearlh shall burn 1 | Or busy house wife |>ly her evening care; ! X"o children run to lisp their sire’s return, And climb his knee, the envied kiss to share.” Shall I say it! Yes, I must, if it does disgrace God’s image. The Legislature legalizediheaodeof the reason-destroying diink—the town officers sold the indul gence to kill—and the pauper maker cleared two red cents. —[ Clinton Countu Whig. ‘There’s the Darrel, and there’s the Man.’! So said, the reader will recollect, a poor;, drunkard of Mr. William Prentice and hit barrel of rum. “There’s the barrel, and there’s the man that made me drunk, and sent me to your jail.” And so may multitudes say of rum-sell ing as the cause of their suffering. Mr. Rumseller, indulge your fancy, or rather ! your recollection, a little. Visit some home, the tenant of which has been for years your customer. Once |in good and happy circumstances, that 1 family are now plunged in poverty, dis-i •!grace and ruin. The wife is broken- 1 ! hearted—the children are in rags—squal . lid misery broods there—and, what is .worse than all, he, who was once the protector ofthat happy family, in a peace [fill and plentiful home, now often comes to it, in its desolateness, a raging maniac, i Whence comes all this? We might go to your shop and say, “there’s the barrel and there’s the man” that have done it. ■j Just step over to that house opposite.— J There lies a man who has a broken limb. J Who broke it? Ah, he could point at, you, and say “there’s the man” and if he j could go to your shop he could say ; l-‘there’s the barrel.” Now go a little farther on, and we will' I enter the dwelling of Mr. A., one of your! ! best customers. .Mrs. A. sits there bind-;' ling shoes. She has done this and other ‘ | kinds of work for years, to support her!, little family, while you have put all Mr. < A. earnings into your drawer for rum— ' in other word -for poison. Ask that poor \ woman why she works so hard, why her ; cheek is so wan, why her sighs so often! i as she plies her needle. Monster, you 1 know the reason. She has often prayed - you with tears in her eyes, to sell her hus band no more rum ; yet, whenever she thinks of your shop, she can say, “there’s , the barrel and there’s the man,” that are the cause of all our wo. See that ragged and shoeless boy run- . ning along the street. Troops of such | boys could say, “there’s the barrel and! there’s the man” that have torn our clothes and covered us with filth, and! sent us out to disturb and corrupt the community by our noise and our oathes, our roguery, quarrels and petty thefts. There goes Mr. C. staggering along. I thought he had signed the pledge. Yes. | you say, with a rum-seller’s sneer, but he; has broken it. But how ? You need not j tell me- It was you, with your accursed! barrel, that tempted him to break the! pledge. !, Well, let us turn down the lane, and! go into the miserable hovel at the end of it. There lies a customer of yours ( with the horrors of delirium tremens.— As you enter the door he looks aghast, and cries out “ there’s the man” thal sent these devils here to torment me, and , goto his shop, and “there’s the barrel” that he keeps them in. Do you remember your customer, Mr. j- B. that hung himself, or your other cus • tomer, Mr. £>., that went straight from ; your shop, and fell into the river and j drowned—-or the wife of another custom- 1 I lef, who was murdered by him after drink i; ing your rum ? If their ghosts could rise ) and visit you, they would freeze your lit . tie, cruel, money-loving soul with horror, tins they said, “’there’s the barrel, and -'there’s the man’ that killed us.” i [Norwich Spectator.
