ments Of this specimen Of aristocratlcal legisia-
ton:
"A regular passport enables Noble to reside
five years out of the empire; and; non-NoDle
three years.
If any one exceed this time, without express
permission, his property is to be placed in the

the remainder of the income is to be applled 10

Temperance Prospect There needs uothiDs,
more to convince our readers of the rapid marcel
Of Temperance, than the fact, that at a grea,
number of the festivals on the late anniversary
Ardent Spirits were excluded from the table -
We repeat il, it isia subject of warm congratp-
lation for every friend ofTemperance or of the
human race. Fen years ago, what would have
been thought of the man who would have pro
posed to celebrate the day on Boston Common
provide entertainments for more than tuo thou
sand persons, and yet Danish ardent spirits from
the company2 He would have been pronoun
ced an alarmist, fanatic, mailman. At the
late Wing celebration, ardent spirits were ban.
ished, and OF the wine provided for the occasion
hundreds of bottles remained untouched II
is idle to assert that if ardent spirits are exclu
ded on such occasions, the consumption of wines
will be the greater. Such an assertion is NOT
borne out by facts. Distilled liquors act as "a
Met. and create burning thirst, and c,a.
wing appetite for wine. BY rejecting the use of
agGeat SPIRITS on our days Of jubilee, one great
step S tas.en in the march towards the perfec
toa .. ..,e Temperance reform. And We ar.
dent.y nope that the time will soon arrive, when
the curaG.Jn''y will be convinced Of the propri
ETY. of ~ -lng another step, and dispensing with
irtori,2f g liquors Of erery description, on
such occasions. For it is humiliating to human
nature 10 admit that such stimulus is necessary
on any occasion.-Boston Mer. Jour.
