In an article several weeks ago entitled
"What is in Name" we stated that the
same principle is involved in stringent H.
cense law as in our present law. They are
both in sense prohibitory. But whether
one would accomplish the object better than
the other is not the whole Of the question.
An objection to licensing evil will still be
felt by many fair.minded men. In some
cities prostitution has been licensed, but
this method of treating it is revolving to
pure.lninded people. Chastity rests upon a
sentiment, aud any course Of public or pri-
vate conduct which weakens the sentiment
Of purity encourages vice. The same may
be said with regard to intcmperance. 1t is
Of the utmost consequence that men should
feel that drunkenness is an evil, that the un.
necessary use of intoTicants is an evil, and
everything in our laws which violates the
sacredness of this feeling makes the evil
more likely to exist. 1t is better to conceal
the fact so far as possible, that wo are
brutes If that is what We are. The senti.
ment of purity is none too strong in any one
of us. 1t has taken long period OF years
to develop the feeling which is now quite
common, that the use OF Into Ticants is de-
grading to manhood. To say that law
should be repealed because it is not Obeyed
or in all instances executed, is 4 practical
surrender of everything to the outlaws, and
an acknowledgement that We are, not men
assembled from beasts, but beasts descended
from men.--RutlaAd Herald,

uNHALLoWEp RESIGNATION.

What habit we have of crediting all our
ills TO Providence! We are never willing to
admit that our own inactivity, folly, and
self-love have wrought out the dire results

Like snowdrops on her breast,
As once she lay at sunset,
In calm and rosy rest,
Yet now her gentle beauty
Is touched with holier grace;

Hath settled on her face.

The storIR-king blows hls icy breath.

And now it blooms in beauty there.

Like lambkins sporting on the lea,
Emblems Of innocence and love,
When the great Shepherd Of the sheep,
The holy just and great am,
Whose watchful eyelids never sleep,
Called to his fold our tender lamb.
We miss that pure and gentle one
Now shining in the realms affair,
AS earth would miss the MONDAY sun
Or evening miss the evening star.

Her footstep and her laugh, we misi,
We miss her pleasant voice and face,
Her "good night" and her fond, sweet kiss.

Upon her forehead fair.
