TAVERN LIOENSE.


Mn. EDIToR:-The 9th Section of " An Act
regulating the sale of intoxicating Liquor ;"
passed at Dover March Sd, 1857, provides til at
g no person shall keep a tavern, without having
first obtained license from the Governor;
which shall be granted on the recommendation
ofthe Judges of the Court OF General Sessions,
setting forth that the person recommended Is a
fiji person and well qualified to keep a tayern.-
Such recommendation shall not be granted, unless
the person is SO qualified" &c. -..-
In this section it Is manifest that the 'sbetter
law" makers overshot themselves, and ancOn-
sciously gave tho Judges of the Court the entire
control of the question Of granting license. Not
so with the other vendors of intoxicating drinks,
in stores or groggeries whose licenses are gran
ted by the Clerk of the Peace. lie has no dis
erection, but upon the payment Of the license
fee, sit shall be the duty of the said Clerk of
the Peace to issue license" &c.
We shall soon see what our Judges will do
with the application OF those notorious oHt-ldiOs,
when they apply to their Honors for SO recon-
incubation +" to the Governor as fit persons to
keep tavern. viii their Ionors consider
men iii to execute the law of tho State, whose
bOastit was for period Oftwo entire years, that
they disregarded the awl Be 1t remembered
that tavern keeper is nothing more nor less,
than anexccutive officer, appointed by the gov
Grnor to execute the laws OF the State. llappi-
" our Hon. Judges are not Ignorant Of this fact,
for there were IN lictments enough for violations
OF law before the Court to roof houses, there
fore there llUnors will act in this matter with u
acknowledge Of tho character OF such out laws.
Is mau a lit subject to have intrusted to his
keeping the lives and property Of his fellow citi-
2ens, who only so far regards law as his interest
dictates! Let our Hon. Court answer this ques-
ton, when such men come before them for re-
comm incubation. SOBRIETY.

WALL PAPER PorsoNous.-Dr. Kinds, of
birmingham, England, has lately called atten-
ton, through tho London Lancet, to method
of accidental poisoning, which should be gen
orally known, and from which he was himself
the sufferer. He Glanced to select, for the
adornment of his study, particularly bright
tinted wall paper, tho pattern of which was
confined to two shades of green. About two
days after it had been applied, he first used the
room in the evening, sitting thOre and reading
by gas light. Whilst thus engaged he was
seized with severe depression, nausea, abdom-
inal pain and prostration. The same chain of
symptoms ensued on every subsequent evening
when he occupied the room. This led to an
inquiry into the cause. He scrlptd Oft a little
of the bright coloring matter from his pretty
green paper, and by sublmation, produced
abundant crystals of arSenious acid. The pa
per was eOlorcd with arsenita Of copper
(Scheele's green.) DR.. Kinds remarked that
the presence of the arsenica! pi-rRsR, may be
recognized by its brilliant and beautiful hue,
and by a little running OF the color at the
edges of the pattern, as though it did no; take
freely to the paper.

DANISH DIrFICuLTIEs.-By the last foreign
mails we have some intelligence from Dem
, mark Of an interesting character. 1t seems that
| the complication respecting tho Dnchcs mas
reached crisis. Austria and Prussia have
sent notification to the Danish government to
the effect that unless their demands are COM
piled with in a specified time, they will APP
peal to the German Diet, which being altogeth-
er against the Danish view of the question, will
Of course, decide upon war.
Denmark is thus placed in q very critical
position. While, ON the one hand, the Germans
in the Duchiesar are b Snt upon eparate Urgani2a-
ton, and are supported in their course by the
great powers before named, ON tho other the
Danish people of Scandinavian origin are
thoroughly opposed to all Germanzng in-
iiucnces, and will listen to nothing but tho unity
of tho kingdom irrespective Of the races COM
posing it. A very considerable portion of the
Danes are also believers in the theory Of Scan
dinavian union, and are thus looking to IN III
innate annexation to Sweden.
In all probability the source of this trouble
was the arrangement made some years since
relative to the succession to the Danish crown.
This was secured to Russia in II certain contin-
gency but, now that Russian influence over
Prussia and Austria has been destroyed by the
Turkish war, the governments of these Golln-
tries begin to perceive the Inconvenience of
the Russian succession to tho Danish CROWN
various blows nave since been aimed openly
at this succession, and there is no secret about
tho feelings of all the continental governments
OH the subject. 1t is felt to bo dangerous
More especially, the Danishpeople arc alarmed
at it. To this may be ascrib0d the restless
agitation for Scandinavian union, while Mt the
same time the Prussian and Austrian govern
mcnts take advantage Of tho Duchies question
to intervene in Danish affairs, and preserve at
least the German provinces from falling into
the grasp of Russia.
The position of Denmark in the waters of
Northern Europe is of so much naval impor-
lance that it is probable this difficulty will have
to be settled by conference of the great
powers Denmark is right in her endeavors to
consolidate all her provinces under one central
government; but her opponents, thoush hay
ing no business to moddle with the Duches on
the ostensiblc grounds of Intervention, havo, in
fact, duty imposed upon them to look after
their own safety, which would DO materially

the liberal support due to the minister of. in"

tianS seem to suppose comprises their Whole
duty to Inn, there are other things as Justly his

l. You owe Inn your gratitude. Estimnte
u you can the tremendous responsibility Resin"
on nm who ''watchcs for souls, - and the yaIno
of these souls, and say whether uarnestn..s
ana luellty III the work OF winning them to

affection. Perhaps, too, you have been con.
ycrted to God under his ministry.

is no easy one. Many crosses he must ham
and bear in silence for his Masters sake mnpv
veXatiOns and perplcXities to which others nrr
strangers, he must daily meet. Few know the
deep heart-trlals which mingle in the eype-
riencc Of every faithful ministers; the struggles
with sin and with peculiar temptations The
wreStlngs with the Angels for blessing on
his flock. His silent study and his God ara the
only witnesses TO these but the tried servant of
Christ, though leaning on an almighty arm.
needs also to feel that he possesses the syInpa-
thy Of his people.
.. You owe him your prayers. II you are q
Christian you know the value of microscopy
Pl"yel5 ulu WIN ucHlunhS your prayers more
than your pastor, tral man with an an
gels message to proclaim, and comprised about
with inirlnity, needing constantly the presence
OF the holy Spiritwhich your prayers may gaini
Would you have faithful minister, You must
pray for him. Would yOu as a Christian be
prolited by his miniStrations, would YOU see
sinners locking to Christ, yOu must bescech
the influences of the spirit to attend the prroch-
cd word. The promise, free us it is, is only to
them that ask. Perhaps you think'yOur minis
ter is growing dull and unintercsting, and Won
question whether ii is not best to procure nnu-
Their But before you sever the tie that binds
him to you, let me cntrGat you to pause mo-
ment. Have you done your duty in PRAYER for
that minister If not can you hope to profit
by his ministrationsl Can God be cXuectrd
to bless church with faithful preaching, that
does not seek such blessing from llm}
am persuaded that if u church nthis condition
would try the experiment of prayer, they wonld
gain new baptism from on high upon their
pastor, or at least prove themselves guiItless in
the matter.
4. And if you earnestly pray for yourpastor,
you will surely not refuse him your cO-Opera-
ton in every enterprise for the welfare of Zion.
You will be ready to assist him in the prayer
meeting and the Sabbath School, and instead
of seeking TO excuse yourself from posts OF
duty in the church, you will be cheorfuIly as
Stunning them cndeayor to tighten his burdens.
And this care for your pastor will be rewarded
in your own soul by growth in grace and spirit
