Prohibition is working wonders in Dallas and Paulding county. Men who, when whiskey was sold her*, w.re half the time under its influence, are now total abstainers, and instead of spending their time in revelry, are industrious ci izens. Not only this, but tjic moral and religious sta'us of the town and vicinity is a hundred per cent, above what it was before prohibb tion went, into effect. This is all apparent to outside lookers on, but we ar m t prepared'to say how juirrh the hnpf inesfe of wives and children, fathers and mothers, has been uicreised. Pauldb g New Er.-.

We are approaching a crisis in the histo ry ot our county. The test will soon be made. We shall soon know who are the friends o temperance, of morality an 1 Re'i'ion. The ilques are too vast the responsibilites too great for anything like a teaipor sing policy. As advocates of the righb as the friends of our race, we would not. be derilect in this hona of trial. We would not be unfeeling to the anguish of wives and mothers- We would not close our eyes to poverty and rage and the unvoiced sorrows of the widows and theorpbant. With heart and soul we enter I into tiie conflict- .’’Thrice armed is he who . bath his quarrel just.” Tnen on ye braves.” i the sua or AusterUts is iu the ascendant. We I expect to sneoee Iby fair mian*. Shall use no specious argument. It is the cause of God anil humanity. And when our work- is accomplished we shall havetie thanks of a graatful people, of wives and mothers the smileof approving heaven, and the plan dits of posterity,We are making histo’y, and coming will feel the influence of what we none. The signs are encouriug The moral Seud meats of the age is increa - ing. Legislators S.re les» timid to approach the sublet am. 1 grapple with the mammoth eviL Evon men Addicted to intemperance are anxios <vr prohibition. They wish the temptation removed, they know how hard it is to resist. The b< rning thirst which has so often unsettled thsir purposes, and turn* ed topsy turvy every good promise and reso" lutlpn. Shall we fail to help them.—Shall wedisopoiut their hopes have we no heart that beats responsive to the pitying heavens Nerveless should be the Arm that doe, not t ry to snatch these brands from the burning. We must succeed—we m ust not fail. The Christian the Patriot, and the Philanthro pist may well stand appalled before the great evil o' the age. The unblushing crimes which were not partic ilaized in the burning Decalogn —the trooping diseases, and deaths in multiform ways that follow in its train. One vision of the Apocalypse puts it in a strange form, when he saw death on apalehorso md h’l fallowed with him-There is no time for studied arguments, for elab orate discussion, you have but to open your eyei ai d see, and facts are stubborn things. Wnat is it tbatfihsyourj ails & penitentiaries that crowds your courts with trials for mar der.au i vexitioni iitiga’ion, increasing ex penditures and the burden of heavy' taxes Wnatis it th v blights the hopss of the young and crushes the he »iti of the prrents. What is it that paralyzes the Industries of t e country, and clogs ths wheels of progress, and which like a gri rding despotism is death to all the Institu ions for wbifih Wash ington fough L , and Leemen died. The great factor & parentage is found in the mauutacture wholesale and retail of ar dent spirits. There is the box ot pando—the fruitful worao of death. In oar head, of hearts, we would save sueJ men if wecouldi but the pitying Angel has Its; uncounted thousands to their doom. How many have grj<n rich and left their victims in want and wrathedness, T ieir ai.is are illgotteu and sraute with the curse of beuven, In the language of scripture their Go d & Sti ver la cinker-id--S allied With blood ami | wet with the te rj of the innocent, Yoil may cell mean enthmast nor, but yotTY will not in thepsry of J b’gtnenh "And mourn at the >fc»t whtn tuy flesh and thjß|| body are consumed and wy. h*»w have I hated vistruotio i and my heart re proof.” In thia airugle we exp*nt to bava thesyni pathy and help of worn v » The' are thesnff. erers.
