Campbell has started Graham paper at
Boston. This Campbell is an ultra
ultra ouhodox-uItra moral rrformer-
ultra aboIitionist-ultra Grohamite--and
he keeps a boarding house on the bran
bread principle, which goes by steam, and
is liked by-those who like it.
When Murdock, the actor, first went
to Boston, he was looking about for a
boarding house; and in the course Of his
search, came to the one in question and
rung the bell, when tall gaunt man,
who looked as il he might have been the
apothccary i'll Romeo aud Juliet, came
and asked his pleasure.
Can you accommodate small family
with boari few weeks, until can find
house 10 srit me There's only myself,
wife. and Two children.
In high toned, attenuated. husky. or
rather branny voice, Mr.. Campbell re-
piled:
"Why, yes. we take boarders, but we
board on the Graham system
The Graham systeml what 80. isthat"
"Why, wc have no meat, no tea, nor
coffee"
sly no more, my good man-say no
mole. That fact, with your appearance
TO eorroborate it, is amply sufficient to
induce me to look further. wish You
very good morning, sir, and an appetite
for your dinner. You should have that
sauee at least. for i seems you get no
other."-N Y Herald.
The foregoing ribaldry is perfectly in
character, coming as il does from a man ~
who, because he is too much Of voluptuory,
epieure and gluttou to have any regular
boarding place, goes from " Clinton Lunch"
10 "Custom House Hotel Refectory," and
iron the latter to "Floyds"-from grocery
to Rroeey--from surfeiting to drinking, and
from drinking to surteiting, BY night and
BY day.
Here Is part Of a "bill Of fare" at one
ofthis editors places Of resort-we find itin
bis paper, the Herald:

Rundy"-of Champaigne"-of Cordials

Otherwise"
No wonder that the man who swills an
gormandizes at such places-who lives
cat and drink, instead Of eating and drink
inr 10 live should make war upon the Gr'
ham system. .. ....
We can afford this article no more tim
OF room, ut preseut--only to assure the ed
tor of the Herald that Mr.. Cambell, witho'
"mcat tea, or coffee" is neither so "tall
nor 50 agGunt" mar as the editor of q
Herald, with all his cups, from "Maders
to "Cisret;" and all his fesh-pots, fro
"Turle Soup to Fried Tripe."
wmE.-A fact for the confederation
those sAo are afraid that T'emperan
eforts piH be pushed TOO fast and TOO ia
A friend Of ours, resident Of New-Yo
city. now on visit to his relatives in {
country, has just given US the follows
fact:
A grocer, in Ncv-York, lately inform
him that he wa. now in the habit Of putin
up casks or gin, ram, brandy, &c,
country merchants, and At their directic
marking them, "VISE."! -..
This fact st once suggests various spe'
Iations and suspicious, some Of which n
be indicated BY the following queries
Do srumsellers begin to be ashamed
mark q RHm,r on their rum casks Or
do any Of those merchants who profess
have excluded ardent spirits, for drink, u
among their articles Of traffic, take
