For often, in obvious dudgeon,

And once when said, 1--WE can hardly afford
This extravagant style, with our moderate hoard"

Again when it happened that, wishing to shirk
Some rather unpleasant and arduous work,
begged her to go to a neighbor,
She wanted to know why l made such fuss.

TEMPERANCE AGITATION. The Temperance
movement is again assuming public and p0iti-
cal Importance. \ National Convention has
just been held at Saratoga, where other than
moral mora means were reconnnsmded to sweep
drunkenness from the land. They think that
prohlhitory liquor laws will do this, and Gov
ernor Dutton, of Connecticut, recommended
the liquor law OF his State a. Il model, though
he admitted that it was Il partial failure,
through the NEGLECT oftcmpnrancc men to see
II executed. There probably Eevrr was more
intempemnce than at the present time, not
wlthstanding the duty Of 81 gallon On whi>-
Ky. The tax forms an important item in the
receipts of the internal revenue. but patriot
ism is probably not the prompting motive for
the great CONSUMPTION and abuse in the use Of
tins article. The temperance advocates well
argue that tie saving to the people from ab>ti-
hence in drink. will enable them to pay high
cr rate Of duty to the Government to make up
the loss Of duty on whisky.
