Yourself their centre and support and to estab-

this will make you many friends In the very
homes of your enemies.
XII.-Sweden dismembered, Persia van
pushed, Poland subjugated, Turkey conquered,
our armies concentrated, the Black Sea and the
Baltic swept by our feets-it will then be time
to propose separately and secretly, first to the
Court of Versailles and then to that of Vienna,to
share with them the empire of the world. If
either the one or the other fall into this scheme,
which they cannot fail to do at proposition so
Aattering to their selflove and ambition, make
use Of the acceptance to crush the other; you
may in turn crush the remaing one by entering
upon struggle which cannot be doubtful IN
result, Russia possessing already all the east
and the major part of Europe.
MILE, which is not probable, each of the
powers refuse the offer of Russia, twill know
how toexcite quarrels between them, and make
one exhaust the other. Then seeing decisive
moment, Russia will pour down her armies, alrea-
dy concentrated, on Germany, and at the same
moment immense fleets of transports, the one
sailing from the Sea of Azof, the other from the
port of Archangel, loaded with Asiatic hordes,
under the convoy of the armed squadrons Of
the Black and the Baltic Seas. Advancing
along the Mediterranean and by the Atlantic,
they will overwhelm France on one side, while
Germany will be overrun on the other, and
these two countries conquered, the rest OF ku-
rope will pass easily and INTERESTINGLY under

Morals vary with the season, as much as
fruits do Winter brings its long nights, Its
warm sings, its polka and Grim cons. Summer,
the contrary, is attended with lassitude, chol-
era morbus, sentiment, and single bedsteads.-
The same man that January finds stepped
in new wine and inquiry, will no soon
er taste ef June, than his passion for
illicit calico will be changed to love of nature
while the only lark he can tolerate, will be
the one that wakes the morning. Queer what
virtue there is in fshing-road isn't it2
The more private the consolation, the more
effective. Miss Eighty, who married Bullion
the octogenarian says she quite forgets her
misery in the caresses of sympathising COM
panion, who presses her FACILITATING bosom
against the fourth button Of his canary colored
vest. Quite likely.
To bring about a loseness of words, we know
of no better laxative than the weather. Strike
this topic out of conversation, and the mind be-
comes as caustic as lunitic 1T looks like
rain, foated many man into happy marriage;
while a casual remark on, yesterdays wind, has
often proved the first zephyr in the breeze of
success.

A Ne'c Phase IN the Maine Liquor Law-A
liquor dealer in Boston has been sued by firm
to whom he has sold some fifty thousand dollars
worth of liquors, since the passage of the liquor
law, for all the money paid and received for the
liquor. The ground upon which the recovery
OF the money is sought, is that the sale of liquor
IS illegal, the article being contraband, Or in
law, worthless. This suit will bring the ques-
ton to an ISSUE and the constitutionality of the
Maine law. Should the law be sustained, we
do not see how the defendant can escape indge-
ment. Millions of dollars are at hazard, and
once let it be established that the sale of liquor
is illegal, and that money paid therefor may be
recovered back from the payee, and every liquor
dealer in Boston will be bankrupt.
Our own liquor dealers are making no prepar.
alton for the passage of the Maine law in this
State. They say that it never can be enforced.
and they mean to buy and sell the same as usu-
al. But if those who pay their money for liquor,
can sue and recover back the money year or
two years afterwards, what will the business be.
worth? Perhaps they had better look into the
matter little before it is too late N. 7. Day
