HIGH CRIMES.

A list OF high crimes and misdemeanors
tried in the olden times Of Massachusetts,
affords some curious specimens of the penal
code Of our forelathers. We notice among
others, the following curious sentences, oc-
curing in The years sci before the cases:
1647. The court orders, that if any young
man attempts TO address young woman
without the consent Of her parents, or in
case of their absence, he shall be fined ga
for the first offence, f1O for the second, and
oe punished by Imprisonment! for the third.
= If this law should be enforced a, the pre-
seIeday our young men would be beggars
and our jais would overflow.
1649. Mathew Stanley was tried for
drawing on the affections Of John Tarbox's
daughter, without consent Of her PARENTS,
convicted and fined f15--fees 2s. sd.
Three married women fined five shillings
each for scolding.
1858. Jonas Fairbanks was tried for
wearing great boots, but was acquitted.
Now, in the first of these cases, if the
draft was accepted by John Tarbox's
daughter, we hold the sentence 10 have been
unjust, but if the draft was dishonored, then,
Of course, the drawer should be held liable.
With respect to the fine Of the married
ladies we know of no tax which would more
speedily or more surely fill The treasury, and
in case ofany danger ofna.iona bankruptcy,
we would vote for its imposition in the pre-
sent day.
In the last case. poor Jonas Fairbanks was
the victim Of prosecution, and the young
gentlemen Of 1851 will glance down 10 the'
supcrfuous curling toes of their polished
boots and thank Heaven that they dwell in.

ANCIENT TEEToTALLERs.--Cyrus,o Persia
when young prince, visited his uncle Cy-
axares, and to show that there was no merit
in being good cup.bearer. took the cup
from Sacas, who attended in that capacity.

young waiter has forgotten one thing
"Wha, have | lorgo,len?" asked Cyrus.
"To taste the wine, before you handed
it to me and your mother"
81 did not forget that, but did not choose
TO swallow poison"
."Poison!" exclaimed the king.
ayes, there must be poison in the cup,ior
they who drink oSi, sometimes grow giddy
and sick, and fall down."
"Then, you never drink your country?"
inquired lAstyages.
''Yes, but we only drink 20 satisfy thirst,
and then little water suffices."
This occurred nearly two thousand four
hundred years ago, yet il is as true as if i.
were an event Of yesterday that intoxicat-
ing drink is poison.
