Anti.LiquOr Laws.

Many persons who desire to sec the Ii
quor traffic abolished, express doubts of the
constitutionality Of laws which abolish it.
The following written opinions of members
of the United States Supreme Court-the
highest judicial authority known among us
AS to the power of the several States to
control the sale Of Intoxicating liquor
within their limits, ought to settle this
question. It will be seen that the decis-
ion embraces all the Judges of the Court.
including the Chief Justice -
Chief Justice Taney said. " If any State
deem the retail and internal traffic in ar
dent spirits injurious to its citcz ms, see
nothing in the constitution to prevent it
from regulating and restraining the traffic,
or from prohibiting it altogether"
Mr.. Justice Mclean said, "No per-
son can introduce into community a
malignant disease, or any thing which
contaminates its morals or endangers its
safety"
Mr.. Justice Catron said, IF the State
has the power of restraint by licences to
any extent, she has the discretionary pow
er to judge OF prohibiting sales altogether y
Mr.. Justice Daniel said of imports that
are cleared of all control OF government,
They are like all other prop rty of the
citizen, whether owned by the importer or
his vende,, or may have been purchased
by hogshr ad, cask, or bottles" In an
swering the argument that the importer
purchased the right to sell when he pays
duties to government, Mr.. Daniel cont nucs
to say" " No such right is purchased by the
importer; he cannot purchase from the
government that ich it could not insure
to him, a sale independently of the laws
and policy of the State"
And Mr.. Justice Gri,r said, g 1t is not
necessary to array the appalling statistics
Of misery, pauperism and crime, which
have their origin in the use and abuse of
ardent spirits. The police power, which
is exclusive in the streets, is alone COM
petent to the correction of these great evils,
and all measures Of restraint or prohibi-
non necessary to effect the purpose, are
within the score Of that authority"

"Too late 20 The burden of destiny

That travel stained letter told its story
only to the unsympathising hearts OF the
proud household, and not lip ever open

receptacle of family reserve, and was lost

me. Heavy aristocratical carriages from
distant towns and cities, drapcd in black ,

country about turned out its entire popu-

borne slowly along, while young girls of
her own age, dressed in white, with long
shoulder-scarfs of black, held the pail on

green mound of the small cemetery was CIR,

small chrystal pond mirrored the twilight
sky. Not breeze dimpled it then, and

have devoted their lives and all that makes
life dear for the beneftting of their race. And
yet how much more ready are mankind to
award the need Of praise to those great war
riors and scourges of mankind who have spent
their lives in Wholesale slaughter of their
kind and in spreading destruction and desola-
ton far and wide, than to such martyrs to the
cause Of benevolence and religion. Alas, that

BOOk-Cran.

Mr.. Frederic Saunders, whose father
was long bookseller in London, where
the son received his initiation in the " art
and mystery" of Book Graft, is penning
series of sketches on the subject, for the
columns of the ". Y. Recorder. The fol-
lowing paragraph from his first sketch in
dicates the numerous processes through
which every book must 60 before it has
form and life. Mr.. s. is now connected
with the house of G.. p. Putnam, Broad
way, New York.
How potent and enduring is the influ-
ence of a genuine book! Ages after its
author has cease to write, his recorded
thoughts will continue to awaken respon-
ses in the bosoms of the living. Says the
author of Peldam,'-
" The past but lives in words a thousand nges
We're blank, if books had not evoked their ghosts,
And kept the pale, embodied shades to warn us
From feshless lips"
Few, Will, perusing the pages Of a
lpicdoahe Uooh, pduSc W tulnh now many
skillful hands have been busted in it's curl
GUS fabrication, or how many hours, or
months, or years of studious toll have been
devoted by its author to it's mental pre-
paration. Its mere mechanism is worthy
of note. It's paper is produced from a
beautiful furious plant, called linum, or
flax the leaf of which is 'rotted' and pass
ing through various processes, becomes
cotton cloth this again is reduced to fluid
pulp, is then dried and pressed, and be-
comes paper. The thoughts that breath
and words that burn are spelt, letter by
letter, by the compositor, and the pages
Of the volume receive the impress by the
agency Of steam. In this its chrysalis
state, the book is submitted to the several
processes of folding, sewing, and glueing,
previous to its being put into covers, when
it receives its decorations from the finish
er. This complex creation of head and
hand is most cunning and delicate piece
Of handcraft. 1t is that necromancy by
which the pearls and gems of genius are
Transmitted into the literary currency, and
thus they become the common property
Of mankind. 1t has both a bodily form
and an intellectual life, that diffuscs
!, abroad the light of intelligence by its lu-
minous lines.

caused it to rise in the scale of civilization
and expand on every sidc-when I see it
growing, swelling, roaring like a spring
freshet, cannot resist the idea, sir, the day
will come when this great nation, like a
young school boy, will burst its straps,
and become entirely too big for its boots.
Sir, We want elbow room--the continent,
the whole continent, and nothing but the
contincnt-and we will have it. Then
shall Uncle Sam, placing his hat upon the
Can adas, rest his right arm upon the Ore
gon and California coast, his left upon the

freeman, upon Cape Horn! Sir the day
