aSsA7 What calamity it would visit upon
an Intelligent christian community if the law
was to put contraband seal upon the door
OF the den where the licensed death dealer
hourlshes the toddy stick! Why grass and

unless dram drinking public marks out a
beaten track to the tippling shop-so some
people seem to think.
we wonder, now if our blessed country,
