lis the Law Constitutional?U

Is occasionally askedinregard to the Maine,
Massachusetts and Rhode Island laws pro-
hibiting the sale of liquor. Now we say that
it requires only a moderate share Of common
sense to answer it. And we arrive at the
conclusion that it is so, on this wise: Society
has a right to protect itself. Drunkenness
occasions more crime pauperism and taxa
ton, than all other causes combined; there
fore society has a right TO remove the cause.
This our present license law proves-that pro-
hibits seven-eights, or nine-tenths, from en-
gagingin the traffic. All have equal natural
rights-therefore, fit is constitutional to pro-
hibit one, it is equally so to prohibit all. If
it is right to prohibit one, or all, it necessa-
rily follows that it is right and constitution
al to impose penalties for violation of such a
law. Gambling is injurious to the morals,
the peace and prosperity OF society therefore
it is right and constitutional to prohibit it,
and to enforce such prohibition by pains and
penalties. We utterly repudiate the idea
that there is anything doubtful in this matter.
or dificultto be understood. Society possess
es the inherent right to suppress any prac-
tice which is injurious TO it, and endangers
its existence. The people say that the liquor
traffic is injurious, endangers their persons
and property, and renders taxation necessa-
ry, and for these injurious effects they receive
no equivalent-no corresponding benefit
and, acting onmere common sense principles,
they say it shall not exist. And we ask
where, in a government of the people, IL
there apowerabove the people that can thwart
the expressed will of the people? Horse-ra-
cling, gambling, wearing concealed weapons,
and a variety of other prohibited acts, are
prohibited on the same ground, although for
: reasons lighter than a feather, when compar-
; ed with those that demand the suppression
of the liquor traffic. In a case 80 plain and
simple it would be a waste Of words to make
: the right to prohibit by legal enactment, more
perfectly ~palpable.

A little word in kindness spoken"


What a pleasing halo does a trifing kind
ness oft cast Ger the weary path of life! OBJ
iects and obstacles that looked ominous and
terrible are made to shine like hopes halcyon
star by reason Of one little word Of kindness,
and clouds that grew heavy with sorrows
tears are chased away and the sky of life
beams brightly again.
When the heart grows sad with the secret
sting of unutterable woe when the living
joys Of life within the bosom struggle, and
faint, and die; when dependency sits at the
door Of the soul guarding its portals with
stern vigilance; when the wing shade Of
the Angel of melancholy hovers Ger ffe's
ftful way, then, in the darkest hour, "alit
tie word in kindness spoken" is capable d
driving the darkest clouds away to the lee
ward, and lighting the path of life with pleas
ant and cheerful beams.
Lives there a being who will refuse to d.
a kind act ? 1t costs the donor nothing, b1
to the sorrow stricken heart its price is fal
above rubies. 1t e~leyates the spirit that ha.
grown sad with dependency from its tryin;
agony, and feeds the soul afresh with thos,
hallowed blessings of Paradise that were los
with Eden's bloom

DIG.

Right, my brother, you have the word now /;
dig, and keep digging. Not for the perisha-
ble phantoms of life; its silver, its gold, its
gems and its glittering toys, but dig for men
tai riches for the good of Heaven and your
race. The ~incalculable riches of Gods i'm
mutable truth arenot foEndin the superficial
strata of humanity, but deep in the hidden
recesses of the humanintellect, requiring dill
igent labor and labor with care to gain and
possess the priceless gem. If you would ac-
quire it you must dig for it and dig in the
right place. Do this and you viii not have
cause to regret it, neither viii your labor be
in vain.

Ignorance,

Ignorant men, as is justly remarked by the
Richmond New Era, are always fond ofcon-
ftr9Eersy. They are afflicted with an itch for
disputation, and aFe-neXer SO happE-as when
an opportunity offers for the indulgence of
this propensity. And their pertinacity is
generally equal to their ignorance. An opin-
ion once expressed is adhered to, however
subsequently ascertained facts may be in OPP
position to these hasty utterances.
The history of legislation for the prohibi-
ton Of the liquor traffic. strikingly illustrates
this truth. Whenever it ha6 Rn noised
abroad, that the temperance nj ire seek
ing to alter the laws with refeS &c to the
sale of Intoxicating drinks, there Mas been a
host of self-important pigmies, ready to op-
pose the movement. And their opposition
was none the less virulent, in consequence
Of their utter ignorance ofthe scheme propos-
ed. It was enough that some change in the
existing laws was mooted, and forthwith they
execrated the movement, and heaped oppro-
blum upon those engaged in the agitation.
And yet, they were u~nacquainted with the
principlesi lved n the contemplated change
: and uttered the basest SANDERS whenever they
had occasion to speak of it. Theirs was the
opposition ofignorance and folly. They con
iured up a demon and fought it with fire.
! They constructed a man Of straw, and ther
deliberately set to work to tear their creation
in pieces They opposed the friends Of hu
S manity for the want of knowledge and 9
e brains.
. Argument with such men is ofno avail
Had they never vouchsafed an opinion, thel
L might you hope to win them by the voice o
: reason. But their position once defined
, pride of opinion chains them to the suppor
> of the falsehood. How can they surrende
! their position. To do so, would be to adm
" their liability to error, and to do this woul
# be surely affective to self conceit. And b.
le sides, it would divest their opinions through
Dr. out all coming time Of all authority, anon
~ those by whom they are now regarded as OF
id acles. Honesty may demand their acceI
re lance of the truth, but policy urges them
IS supportthe lie. No alternative is left. The
ID must adhere to the faIsehood or sink in POI
4 ular esteem, and when such is the fact, trut
must yield to circumstances.
n Is there any plan by which these person
i can be reached? Let them alone, is the n
# Spouse of common sense. Let them alon
until their former declarations are forgotten
~ and then you may succeed in your approach
e, es to them. Opposition only renders theI
= more stubborn. Like their long cared prot
at types, every effort to move them only rende.
ay them more determined In their resistance.
~ ~ Only be patient and presently the fit willie
~ When they see all men forsaking them the
- persistent obstinacy will give way, and tn
will rush into the ranks and fight in t
X, thickest of the fray.
