A Temperance Meet
F aifir he-g 1nE.io viiroiiBa l,n

A temperance meeting was held at
the Tabernacle, in this city, on Tues
day evening" the following resolutions
Resolved, That while we regard the
entire prohibition of the traffic in in
toxics ting liquors as beverages as
the only consistent legislation upon
the subject, and the only secrrity of
the community against the evils of in
temperance, and look upon the legal
ization of the traffic as false in prin-
ciple, and as an ab1se Of legislative
authority; we viii, nevertheless, give
our influence to, and heartily sustain,
SO much of the present Excise Law
us restricts the sale of thepoison, and
endeavor to procure the enforcement
Of its penalties against all who vio-
late its prohibitory clauses. Wed
Resolved. That in the absence Of q
strictly prohibitory law, which we re-
gard as the only effectual means OF
saving young men from the tempta-
tion to fashionable drinking, we feel it
important to throw around ourselves
such safeguards as are still lett TO us;
and, as the total abstinence pledge
has been instrumental hitherto, in re-
straining many from tasting the in
toxicating bowl, though surrounded
by powerful temptations, we will pro-
ceed to organize a society, which will
renew, and vigorously prosecute the
temperance reform, byprocuringsign-
ers to the total abstinence pledge, nm
i'll we are able to secure the ultimate
object of our wishes-the shield Of O
strictly prohibitory law. etl
Resolved, That committee Of four
be appointed, to draft some plan oi
organization and effort, to be report
cd to, and acted upon atanother meet.

TIE WEST.

Indiana and Michigan are themost
convenient to market Of all the new
States, but we consider their soil-on
the average unequal to that further
West, so that what it has gained in
the price of crop is lost in its guam
tity. Illinois is the most fertile body
of land of equal size we have ever
trayersed, and would produce, in our
judgement, more grain per acre than
any, other equal area of the globes
surface; but we should prefer more
good building and fencing timber,
more springs, more brooks, more
stone, and q dryersoil. Iowa ismore
rolling, therefore better timbered and
watered; but her grain and meat
must ultimately be sold cheaper than
those of Illinois. Wisconsin is at
once fertile and we'll timbered, but
lies a little nearer the North Pole than
we should prefer, Minnesota has
still better soil, has good timber and
healthier climate; but we couldn't
pretend to admire 40 deg. below zero
with a stiff north -wester below blow
ing, even if it didn't kill apple-trees
and render peaches impossible. Even
Kansas, with her mere southerly lat
itude, her central location, her excel
lent building-stone, frequent springs
and ample streams, has sharper winds
than we can fancy, and lies further
from pine forests and from the great
Atlantic marts than we deem prefer
able. Is there any good reason why
we should realize these various draw
backs and not state them? Can the
West desire that some thousands
more of our Eastern farmers and
mechanics should be lured across the
Maumee and Illinois only to become
disappointed and grumbling back
again to diffuse their discomfort
among their old neighbors? Is il
not permanently advantageous to all
that both sides of the shield should
be presented, so that those who re-
turn to complain of the lack Of mt.
meg in their Western toddy shall
have mono to blame bat themselves

A HOME WITHodT &, 3 3 a DAuaErEa.

A home without n girl in IT is only
half blest; it is an orchard without q
blossom, and spring without song.
A house full of sons Is like Lebanon
without its cedars, but daughters by
the fireside are like the roses in Shar-
on.
Well may the daughter of the
household be compared to the apple
blossoms, spring-songs and roses of
Sharon. When she is there, the eyes
and ears of those who love her are
satisfied; when she departs, she car
ries with her the golden treasures she
was wont to dispense.
Boys may not lack affection, but
they may lack tenderness. They may
not be wanting in inclination to con
tribute their quota to the Paradise of
Home, but they may be wanting in
the ability to carry out their inclina-
ton. The son of a household is like
young and vigorous sapling-the
daughter like fragile vine. Their
natures are different-their constitu.
tions. tcmperaments, tastes, habits
are different. We do not love Caesar
less, ii we love Rome more.
We know n home that once reioic-
cd in the sunny smiles and musical
accents Of an only daughter. She
was lovely child--womanly beyond
her years
"Full Of genteness, of calmest hope,
OF sweet and quiet joy"
A child never breathed who evinc-
cd more afiectionate reverence for
hca parents, than did she. Instead
Of waiting for their commands, she
anticipated thcm-instead of linger-
ing until they made known their
wishes, she studied their wishes out.
Morning broke not i'm that household
until she awoke-the night was not
dark until her eyes We're closed
How they loved herl did her father
and her mother; and OF how many
blessed pictures of tho future was she
| the subject. at is q fearful thing
that Love and Death dwell in the
same world" says Mrs. Hemans.-
Fearful 1t is maddening-it is O
truth that is linked with despair.
Suddenly, like thief in the night
there came messenger from Heaven
for tho child--saying that the Lord
had need Of her. She meekly bow,
cd her head-breathed out her little
life-and, at midnight. ''went forth
to meet the Bridegroom The las
minute, of the last hour, of the last
day Of the month, was hallowed by
her death She went, and came bacl
no more!
Years have worn away since then
but still there is agony in the house
hold whose sun went down when sh,
departed The family circle is incom
plete-there is no daughter therei Th,
form that once was hers reposes ami,
Z the congonial charms of nature ant

ed to cure very bad, but she died in
spite Of all i could do. / tried every
root could find, but she still grew
worse, and there being nobody there
to detect my practice, like the other
regular Doctors I concluded to try
calamus, and dug up root about nine
inches long and made tea of it. She
drank it with some difficulty, turned
over in bed and died. Still, don't
think it was the calamus that killed
her, as all the Calamus Doctors are
giving it in heavier doses than Idid."
Such was his ignorance that he did
not know the difference between cal
omel and calamus, and yet he got pa
tients. 7sse7 r
There grew out Of this root-doctor-
ing matter, another warmly contested
and exciting trial, after this wise:--
DR.. Moffit, for the purpose of ridicul-
ing Dr. Burr, spoke to one Martillow
Remington, q blacksmith, to make q
''sang hoe" for DIR. Burr to dig roots
withdrawing him to finish IL nice
ly and presnt II to DIR. Burr. The
blacksmith knew that it was intend
cd for capital joke. The hoe was
finished as bright as q pieco Of Shelf
field cutlery, and presented TO DIR.
Burr, as an insult frem DR.. Mofiit.-
DIR. Burr, contrary TO the expectations
ofDr. Moffit, not only receiving the
hoe, but returned to DIR. Moffit his
warmest thanks for the present.
Remington then called upon DIR. Mof
flt for his pay for making the hoe
The Doctor refused to pay, on the
ground that IL was all joke; but
Remington SGT up his laboron the hoe
as q consideration on his part, and
hurled the joke part Of the transac-
ton back upon DIR. Moilit. An action
soon followed by Remington against
DR.. Motif, before a justice ofthe peace.
The trial was warmly contested many
witnesses testified, all stating the ma
king of the hoe by the plaintiff, but
each giving IL as his opinion that IL
was al q Joke. Next morning the
opinion of the Justice was TO be given.
Tho office was crowded at an early
hour. Tho time for the decision TO
be deliveredarrived, when the consta-
bic ordered "Silenco in the Court
House" Squire Hazelrigg-" This
is very important case, upon which
i have thought much, and after
mature deliberation, my opinion Is,
that il was all Joke. / have looked
through the statute, Espinassc's Nisi
Prius and Pecl<'s evidence, but can
not find that an action will lie on u
Joke; judgement for the defendent,
of course" / was congratulated by
my client for my able dcfense--but
the end was not yet. The obstinate
counsel for9the blacksmith refused to
submit TO the opinion of the Court,
and took an, appeal TO the Circuit
Court. Costs accumulated, continu-
ances were had for the absence Of wit
nesses; a number of lawyers were em-
ployed on both sides. The case was
argued great length by able counsel,
and was ultimately submitted to the
Court. Judge Eggleston decided
that so far as the blacksmith was con-
cerned twas no joke, and gave judg-
ment for the plaintiff for 81 damages
and over $4,000 costs. DIR. Moffit very
good naturedly remarked, upon see
ing the amount of the cost bill, Judge
Eggliston was right; this is no joke" !"
