The Wife's Gentle ReprOOf.

One day as Zachariah Hodgson
was going to his daily avocations after
breakfast, he purchased a fine large
Goldfish, and sent it home, with direc-
tons, to his wife to have it cooked for
dinner. AS no particular mode of
cooking was prescribed, the good wo-
man we'll knew that, whether she
boiled it or made it into chowder, her
husband would scold when he came
home, But she resolved to please
him once, if possible, and therefore
cooked several portions Of it in seye-
raj different ways. She,s also, with
some difficulty, procured an amphibi-
Gus animal from a brook back Of the
house, and pumped it into the pot.
In due time her husband came home;
some covered dishes were placed on
the table, and with a frowning, fault
finding look, the moody man com,
menced the conversation:
"Well, wife, dldyou get the fish l
bought?H d.a aHal.3 raa
/" Yes, my DEAR r..g

cooked it. | will bet anything you
have spoiled it for my eating. TAX

attended to, will have powerful IN
Guences in correcting this state of

q There must be more friendly inter-
course between subordinate Divisions.
Let two or three members be appoint
ed to visit the neighboring Divisions
occasionally, report the condition of
the temperance cause, the state of
their Division, invite them to return
the call, and thus strengthen the bond
Of union, and impart new yigor and
inspire new hopes, There is no esti-
mating the life-giving effect of such
interchange offriendly greeting. "Iron
sharpeneth iron; so a man sharp
eneth the eountenance of his friend"
:" He that watereth shall be watered

principle, and there will be no failure
in its application. We affeCtionately

and see if it will not produce fruit an

Profanity.

It's lamentable to what an extent
profanity prevails among the youth Of
our country. The vice seems to be
contagious. Little boys who are but
just learning the use of Language,
whose parents give them religious in
struction and who have the advantages
Of Sabbath School, mouth oaths which
would put an old sailcr to the blush.
Profanity is not only wicked but it
isVulgar, low, ungentlemanly and dis
gusting. We hope none Of our youth
full readers are guilty Of using profane
language. Il you are, quit it at once,
or you will never be agentleman or a
ct companion for decent persons of
either sex. 5aa .a1l8HHg a'8 er n

Report on the Maine Law.

We invite the especial attention of
our readers to the Report, on our first
page, made by Committee, to the
Legislature of Maine. We know not
how we could render better service
to our readers, and the public, than
by publishing this report entire. The
school Of experience is the most valu-
able, and the Representatives of the
people who have tried law of pro-
hibition, are able to speak "Jy The
book" The miserable croakers in the
political journals tell US occasionally
that "the Maine Law works very
badly" ait is very unpopular at
home," and it is absurd to think of
introducing it elsewhere. Read this
report and then judge. 1t is an able
document, and it would not hurt judges
and lawyers to examine it as we'll as
others. .@"." u" Ei1f

Marly 20, 469 livres. When the columns re-
fused to foot up without leaving deficit, she
sold her Jewels, and they too figure to fill her
money cribs. She spent, during the reign
a million and half in pocket money; three
millions and half in her mouth; four mil

half a million to pay the debts Of her father;
half q million in candles; two millions in hOr-

any many evils put together. And
in some instances has thrown its con-
trolling influence over the press and
public assemblies, and is the successful
machine through which iglorant Office
seeking demagogues, who have neith-
er morals nor ability, have obtained
important places Of profit and trust 6
And whereas, it has cast its blight
ing and whitening effects over the
private walks of life, and, retarded
the progress of education, corrupted
the morals Of community, and spread
misery and want, and premature dis
ease, decay and death on every hand.
And inasmuch as we have petitioned
the legislature to enact laws to pro-
hibit a traffic fraught with so much
evil, and that our thousands upon
thousands of petitions have failed to
induce that honorable body to give
the matter that attention so important
subject demands. Therefore,
/. ResoIved, That while the dram
shops and dram drinking are continued
in our State, we can not enjoy the
happiness and prosperity, which our
political institutions guarantee to US.
2. That we deem it the duty of
our legislature, in view of the popular
sentiment of this State, to pass a law
as near in conformity with the Maine
Liquor Law, as the Constitution and
interest of the State of Ohio will
allow.
8. That we believe it to be the duty
Of every patriotic citizen of our State
to use all proper means to effect the
above reform; we therefore will oppose
/ the nomination and election Of any
man to our State Legislature, who is
known to be hostile to the above, and
we cannot consistently support any
man for Office who is guilty Of the
above political and moral evil, and
who is known to be opposed to its re-
Il form.
