Consistency, Thou Art Jewel. %

consistency, Thou Art a Jewel. %
1t is little singular to see the turn
Of affairs that have taken place in the
minds of certain pseudo temperance
men. In times past, when an effort
was being made to restrain the sale of
Intoxicating liquors by the experiment
of law, these men were Mortified; they
said it was "preposterous; you can't
force men to be temperate; you have
NO right to prescribe to men and boys
what they shall eat, or what they shall
drink" "The best way" said these
men, sis to urge moral suasion."-
Now that the women have taken the
matter in hand, and ARE using moral
suasion, pleading and praying with
men to cease the traffic in Intoxicating
drinks, and begging men to quit usin g
these drinks, this same class of pseu,
do moral suasionists say to these
pleading women, ''you are mob; you
can't stop whisky selling and whisky
drinking by praying, singing and
pleading. Why don't you enforce the
lawH there is law enough to do the
business" Now, if we understand the
womens' movement correctly, it is
first for the women to use moral sua-
sion until they are satisfied that that
effort is failure, and then hand the
hquor.sellers over to the men and let
them apply the legal remedy Can
there be any well-founded objection to
this mode of operation ? First, moral
suasion, and when that fails, legal
suGsioN.

We have not told our readers
how Judge Ashburn deals with men
who are proven to be guilty of selling
Intoxicating liquors in violation to
law. Judge Ashburn holds court in
Clermont, Adams and Brown counties.
The Ripley Bee gives the following
little incidents that transpired two or
three weeks since between the court
and convicted whisky seller;
ga gentleman just from Batavia, in
forms US that the liquor sellers there
are beginning to feel the terrors of the
law. Judge Ashburn fined three or
four to the amount of S1700 COSTS
One man was fined $1,000, and in
amazement he inquired of the Judge if
he meant it 81 do" sand he "Well.
but have not got the money" ''Then
you must go to JAIL" said the Judge.
The poor fellow than asked for the
privilege of going out and borrowing
the money. This was granted, and
the money was paid over. Judge
Ashburn then told them he had given
them but part of the law, and if bro It
before him again and convicted, they
must expect him to come down with
the full penalty. The women of Bata-
via, to the number of hundred, have
banded together to see the law exc
cuted on all liquor sellers who vio-
late it."
If all our public officers were to deal
thus snmmarily and rigidly with these
whisky sellers, there would soon be
an end to the traffic, and to drunken
broils on our streets.

What is a Nuisance?

Brother Mackley, of the Jackson
Standard, makes some good points in
the following article which we take
from his paper (the Jackson Stand
ard last week:
just before VIM. II. Stafford, of Chill
licothe, went out of the office as
Judge of the Court of Common Pleas,
he granted an injunction against
large number of the women of Hills
boro, restraining them from singing
and praying in front of the drugstore
of man named Dunn, holding that
such singing and praying constituted
a nuisance. 1t is said that he also
held that the women had no right TO
pray for Dunn, even at distance from
his premises.
Now we believe it is unlawful to as
semble in front of the business house
of any one against his will, and re-
main there with the avowed purpose
of destroying his business, if that be
not prohibited by the Statutes of the
State. But how far can this principle
be carried? Can that be done indi-
rectly which cannot be done directly !?
According to Judge Safford's theory
of the law, a man must not have his
traffic in liquor injured or destroyed
by women praying for him, either at
his room, or at any other place. 1t is
admitted by the liquor sellers of Jack
son that their business is ruined, at
least for the time being. 1t cannot
be denied that this is brought about
by the great religious revival. If
Judge Stafford is correct, cannot any
liquor seller, keeper of a gambling
hell, or house of prostitution get an
injunction compelling the preachers,
and all those who are conducting the
revival meetings in Jackson, to cease ?
Why not? And every man who makes
an effective temperance speech,' or
writes an article against drunkenness
or prostitution, is aiding in the injury
of those who are engaged in the liquor
snd social evil business.
We would like to have Judge SAT-
ford's opinions in regard to another
point. The public have a general
right to the use of the sidewalks in q
city or village, for the purpose OF
| passing for legitimate business. A
man sells beer, whisky, &c, and a
crowd of rutfians congregate in his
room, and on the pavement in front
and by their blasphemy, obscenity,
quarreling and fighting, prevent per-
sons, and especially women and chill
dren, from the use Of the sidewalk
does not that man keep nuisance P
Have honest, sober, men decent peo'
pie, those who pay the taxes which
pave the streets, no rights in the prem
ises? Whisky sellers open up these
new legal questions, and they had best
be answered as this matter progresses

ERANKNEss IN LOVE.

One of the most essential things in all
love-aflnlrs is entire and perfect frankness.
Both parties should be frank-true to them
selves, and truthful to each other. How
many uneasy, troubled, anxious minds
how many breaking and how many broken
hearts there are to-day, in which content
and happiness might have reigned supreme
but for want of frankness! A little con-
Gealment of existing love IA little covering
up of doubt or suspicion. which mo-
ment's explanation would have romoved-a
little affected but unfelt partiality for third
persop-a little cold disdain, put on for effect
IA little act of any kind done merely to tor
ment and see how much true love will put
up with-causes like these have estranged
those who might otherwise have remained
friends for life, connected by the closest tic
which can bind human beings together:
Repentance comes, inevitably, for all these
things; but it often comes too late, and only
when the evil produced is incurable. In
love, rs in everything else, truth is the
strongest of all things; and frankness is but
another name for truth. Then, be always
frank. Avoid misunderstanding; give no
reason or occasion for them. They are
more easily Stunned than cured, they leave
scars upon the heart. You are less likely
to be deceived yourself when you never try
to deceive others. Frnnkness is like the
light of the clear day, in which everything
may be plainly perceived. Never part with
your lover for a single day or night with any
unexplained mystery lingering between you
to obstruct the course of true love. BE
frank.

LUDIoRous SCENE in A PULPIT

A South German paper relates the follow
ing:-
In Bavarian town of the most pronounc-
ed Catholic orthodoxy the priest preached
lately against the Old Catholics, and related
such horrible things about them that his pi-
Gus hearers were literally horror stricken ut
old Catholic impieties.
At last the preacher cried out, "The Old
Catholics are so vile that they will all be
cast into the pit, and if what say is not
true may the devil take mo now on the
spot!n
His excitement was terrible, and he so
struck the cushion that the book fell from It,
Not far from the pulpit was seated AN
American, who had n negro servant with
him. to whom he beckoned to take the book
up to the priest, who, perhaps, had never
seen one of those sons of Ham in his life.
The negro at once obeyed, and rs he mount
ed the lowest of the pulpit steps the clergy
man repeated his wish, that the devil might
come and take him if what he had said
against the Old Catholics was not true.
Although the negro went softly, the
preacher, heard his footsteps, and turning
round, saw Il black object solemnly, steadi-
ly, surely approaching him. He gazed at
him with terror, and believing that the next
moment he would be collared by his Satanic
ic Majesty, he cried out, with trembling
voice.
ut is, after all, possible that there may be
good people among the Old Catholics"
Then turning round to see if the object
had disappeared, he saw it steadily mp.
preaching. The perspiration burst out upon
his brow, and full of dispair he called out
There are even many good people among
the Old Catholics!" .tfAt
Thinking that this would suffice, he turned
round, but what was his horror to find thai
the object was close Mt hand. Imagining
himself in the very grasp of Beelzobub, turn
ing partly to the negro and partly to thu
congregation, he cried out:
"May the devil come and take me if nj
the Old Catholics are not better than WI
arer
The terrified priest tainted from the fright
and it was only after some time that he re
covered
