GJ7 The editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, referring
the late action of the Legislature of Ohio prohibiting
tie sale of intoxicating liquors, says:
We have expressed opinion against this law.
We believe it will do mischief than it will do good
Such has been the experience of all such laws. The
late Legislature also framed law to prevent newspa
pers publishing advertisements of loeres and We sup
pose If these laws can be carried into effect, we shall
have laws passed forbddng theatrical amusements,
circus amusements and such like and making 1t penal
offence for advertising notices of such amusements In
large cities like Cincinnati the only true courses in our
opinion is to regulate these establishments To regu
late where YOU cannot eradicate what may be deemed
an evil is the proper and sensible direction for legsla
tive action To produce moral reforms OF matters not
considered criminal in themselves and which refer to the
sumptuary habits of individuals something else than
bayonets or penal laws be used Such things may
be used in some Of the tyranncal governments OF Eu
rope but in this country where men think for them
selves and where public opinion is the great lever oil
advancement and reform. One man may lead horse
to water but an army make him drink, so in this
country with thinking, independent man, as to his
morals religion or habits He may be persuaded to do
thing he NAV be reasoned into it, but he cannot be
forced into it. and is for that that think the
law orbidding the retailing of liquors, will prove to be
failure, and will in addition produce mischief instead
of good.

To Good to be Lost.

A friend Of ours relates the following sto-
ry, which is good one:
A traveller, whom we afterwards knew,
once arrived at a village inn, after hard
days travel, and being very tired, requested
room to sleep in, but the landlord said they
were entirely full and it was utterly i'm
possible to accommodate him--that his wife
had to sleep on the sofa, and himself on the
floor; but that he would see what his wife
could do for him. The good woman, on be-
ing applied TO, said that there was one room
which he might occupy, provided he would
agree 10 the conditions, viz: to enter the
room late, in the dark, and leave it early in
the morning. to prevent scandal, as the room
was occupied By lady. This he agreed to.
About two o'clock that night, an awful
noise was heard in the houSe, and our friend
the traveller, was found tumbling heels over.
head down stairs. On our landlords arriving
at the spot, and enquiring what the matter
was, the traveller CALCULATED, as soon as he
was able to speak, "Oh, Lord, the woman''
deadw know that" said the landlord
" but how did you find it out?"

While Jenny was at Niagara, as we gather
from the Tribune, the servant maid of her
room In the Clifton House attracted her at
tsntion by her beauty, aiIability and fidelity.
It SO happened that this young lady, by name
Margaret Atkinson, was about to be mar
ried, and the news reached the good vocal
lists ears. She Immediately purchased for
her a becoming and beautiful irousseau-ear-
rings, gloves, bonnet, &C.. ami with her own
hands, offended to her toilet ON the morning
of the ceremony. This done. she took her
in her own carriage, having first read to her
and her future husband the beautiful and
affecting passages applicable to the occasion,
conveyed her to Lewistown, entered the
Episcopal Church, and there oficiated as
Margarees bridesmaid.

One Of the Witnesses.

The late J. s. a man of infinite wit and
humor, and who had probably seen as much
Of life in Ame rica as any one, used to tell
!he following story which is too good TO be
lost, though probably no one but he could
do such full justice to it. If we err not,
il ran thus:

boat shares are in the West. and as almost
