INTEMPERANCE AND EXCISE.
In preceding article the Inference has been
drawn, from the experiment made in u. Brl-
tain, that the imposition of heavy taxes on VI
nous or spurious liquors, affords no adequate
remedy for the vice of incompetence. In addi-
ton 10 this, it may be stated that in those coun
tries whore good wines and even spirits are
most abundant and most within the reach OF
the poorer classes there the disposition tor in
temperate drinking least prevails SO much
Cor facts, let US now attend TO that operation OF
excise and impost duties on liquors which pro-
duces an effect so different from that for,which
in moral point of view it is intended.
1t may be laid down we believe as first prln-
ciDle on this subject, that the vice in contem-
pation is not to be controlled or prevented by
coercion.
Governments, indeed may lessen.the consump-
ton, or prohibit the importation of any particu-
lar species of liquors; but this course Of pro-
ceeding, so far from checking the inclination
for Incorporate drinking, may, and often does
drec, the taste, and coerce the appetite to o.
lher objects of the same Indulgence, more at
tainabe and more destructive.
We universally find, that wherever liquors,
comparatively wholesome, are procured with
QlfnCuilV, we are Will HtdVy ldAtS,
substitutes of more ,unwholesome and more
intoxicating tendency are introduced; and in
proportion as it is difficult TO obtain the given
quantity, the potency of the quality. must be
augmented, while, at the same time, what is
wanting in flavor must be made up in pungen-
cy Hence the formation of tina, depraved APP
petite, which is so much to be deprecated, and
which is so uniformly considered IN every IN
temperate person the certain indication o. rum
Possessed Of such an appetite, the unhappy
wretch not only progresses in his haoit' from
the use of one degree OF stimulus TO greater;
but that very puneeucy OF taste in the liquid, in
which he has learnt to delight, produces on
his stomach a craving thirst for more, that ne

CAV DO WITHOUT IT,"

This is one OF the best mottos in tie

the meaning attached to it; which will
appear from the conduct of two young
people who were acquainted with each
other; each OF whom happened TO take
the above sentence into frequent use.
Eliza dlsIiked and ridicued the manner
in which it was applied by Ruth and
Ruth could not but disapprove of the
way in which it was used by Eliza

she came TO adopt them as her motto,
shall be explained in the present paper.
Her parents were persons ofsuperior
education, but their income was limited
and narrow SO thai they were compel
led by their circumstances. as we'll rs
inclined by their good sense, to study
economy. Ruth entered into the pru.
dent and sensible views of her parent:

that on the day she was fourteen, heI
mother informed her that from tina
time, she should be entrusted with The
purchase and entire management of he
own dress, and that her annual allow
ance would be increased accordingly
The sum now allotted TO her was sucl
as her mother considered sufficient
with prudence and management, t
meet all her real wants and REASONABLE
wishes.
When Ruth received her first quar-
