CouLpN'T CURE IA good story is told
in an eastern paper, Of the treatment of drunk.
Ell husband BY his amiable spouse. After try
ing various cxpedients, all to cure drunkenness,
she at last bethought herself Of another plan Of
making reformed drunkard of her lord.
She engaged a watchman for n stipulated
reward, to carry Philander to the watch house,
while yet in state of insensibility and to frigh.
ten him a little when he recovered. In conse.
quence of this arrangement, Philander walked
up about eleven o'clock at night, and found
himself lying on pine bench, in a strange and
dim apartment. Raising himself up on his el-
bow, he looked a ound until his eyes rested on
!. man seated by stove smoking segar.
"Where am ?" said Phlander.
"In medical college," said the segar smo-
kcr.
"What doing there"
"Going to be cut up"
"How comes thatP'
"Why, you died yesterday, while you were
drunk, and we bought your body to make Il
natomy."
dts Iie-Pm not dead"
"No matter-we bought your carcass from
your wife, who had right to sell it, for it's all
the good she could ever make Of you. Ifyou're
not dead, that's no fault Of the doctors, and
they II cut you up dead or alive"
"You will do it, ch 2" asked the old sot.
cay, to be sure we will, now directly" was
the resolute answer
''Well, can't you let us have something to
drink before you begin ?"
This last speech satisfied the watchman, that
Philander was hopeless case; and as his re-
ward was contingent on his successful treat
mcut Of the patient he was not little chagrin-
ed at the result; so with no gentle handling,
he tumbled the irrelormable inebriate out OF the
watch house.

jeopardy III our system. 1t conveys
no idea of the formation of this gov

oi equals and sovereigns, for the mu-
tHal safety and convenience; on the
contrary ii leaves the impression that
there are no STATES, no sections, no
local interests, "no North, no South,
no East, NO West-nothing but the
Union" g consolidated centralisn,
grand, gloomy, and pecular," and
about the worst form of government
that was ever devised, when the
States and their reserved rights are
tfamp!ed under foot. We worship
no such government as that, The
obvious tendency of system is TO cen
tralism. Every enlightened man con-
cedos this Not only moral but phys
ical causes tend in that direction.-

annihilator Of time and distance, con

If Governor Walkersdoes not i'm.
derstand the theory OF abe govern

A child should not play with edged
tools. If he does comprehend The
principles and the philosophy of our
system, then we say he sentiment he
