The liquor sellers are being frustrated in
all their designs. Right opposite to US in
Canada, they are building a city called
Windsor, the liquor sellers boasted that
they would set up there, and make ferry
boat stock the best in the market, but we
have received word that the Canada Parlia-
ment have passed law prohibiting liquor
selling, within distance Of seven miles
from all railroads. They are building
railroad to Windsor, and their faces are al
ready elongated.
God is working for US. They may call

pass in Ohio, and hope the time is not

laborers to day. The Maine Law has just
passed the Wisconsin Legislature, so we
learn by telegraph, to. be submitted to the
people in November. This was unexpected.
Let us hope on, the day of your redemption
is drawing nigh Not long after our law
goes into operation, on the first Of Decem-

Il DR.. Jewett, of Massachusetts, was intro

perance. There WGs a popularity about
our discussions, for they were all on one
side. Our opponents have nothing to say,
for they never use these arguments but
once. Sometimes in the grog-shop hap
py argument is presented to their minds,
SO at least they think, and they hurrah
over it, and think it unanswerable, but
when it is presented to sober men they
laugh at it, and they find it won't do. It
is kind of hot house plant that won't
live out Of the atmosphere Of the bar-rOom.
tlsIS Mas sometimes provoked my sympathy
to think they have no arguments. Once,
in Maine, was so moved by their poverty
that helped them to an argument The
best one they ever had, one drawn from

In every department of nature we find an
imals who destroy the weak about them.
There is the shark among fishes, and it by
divine appointment destroys the smaller
of the inny tribe, and no one must find
fault with it, The vulture and hawk prey
upon the beautiful singing tribes of birds;
the lion and hyena among beasts the spi-
der among insects; he weaves his fine web
in the corners, and when the trap is pre-
pared he hides away waiting for his VIC
tim. Now we would suppose there were a
like class of sharks among men, surely
there ought to be to carry out the analogy
of nature. Yes, we have our sharks, our
vultures and hawks among men. We
have two legged spiders who rear up fine
saloons, decOys his victims, and devours
their lives. We have hyenas gloatiug over
dead men. We had better be careful what
we are doing, or we may break up the
analysis of nature by breaking up the
liquor traffic. Nov, although l furnished
them this argument, the best they ever had,
yet they never had the kindness to pass me
vete of thanks, and although am poor
man they never made me donation.
