OUR OUNTKY-FIRST.

We have seen that the preamble and con-
stitution OF the United States not only rec
ognizes the manhood and brotherhood of
the human race but also the equality and
rights of each one both man and woman
under the law. The constitutional law of
our country places all men irrespective Of
race or sect in the exalted sphere of man.
hood, all having endowments and rights in
common which each one is bound to respect
Man, using that word in its general and
specific sense, stands before the law in our
country disenthralled, unshackeled, a free
man-each one so far as the law is con-
cerned, having the same privileges and re-
strictions. We have also noticed that this
constitutional provision in our code Of laws
which gives to each man and woman an
equality before the law, exposes our coun-
try TO iminent peril. Ignorant and despOt-
ic men may come to the polls and enter the
halls of legislation, enact and execute un-
constitutional laws. Foreign governments
have taken advantage Of our liberal inSti-
tutions to transport paupers and criminals
to our shores. Then a sort of mistaken
liberalism has permitted the same class Of
paupers and criminals to grow up from
childhood under the very shadow and
within reach of our common schools. 1t
becomes every lover of his country to
look these perils square in the face and
to apply a speedy remedy. But do not
let us use remedy worse than the disease.
Perils removed in that way entail an ad
ditional and more grievous peril. In the
removal of wrongs it is well to guard
against greater wrong. There is an net
before Congress to fix limit to the imi-
grafton of Cinnamon. That act il it be-
comes law will endanger if it does not
nullify one of the fundamental laws of lib
erty. viii the constitution of the United
States permit Congress to pass a law to
limit the migration of Englishmen ?-to
say to any honest man or woman who wants
to enjoy our liberties you shall not land
OH the shores of the United States? Sup
pose China or Great Britain should say
that to Dennis Kearney or to Mayor Kali
loch Tor to any other honest working man
Of our nation? Again, Chinaman works
cheaper and lives cheaper than the Irish
man or American. Is that crime? One
merchant sells goods cheaper than another.
What then? Ostracise him? Send him
to Botany Bay? If that's to be the order
of the day our farmers better be careful
how they under sell each other in the mar
ket. Competition is one of the direct and
inevitable results of liberty. Men under
bid and over bid each other. If the Chi
maman can out-wit the Yankee let him
go ahead. The Goddess Of liberty has
ever said as she stretched forth her hand
over this land OF liberty and will forever
say "open field and fair play and God
speed the right" Our aspirants to polit-
ical honors will do well to heed the sent
| iment. Nor.

The Filthy Wced-COntinued.

ED. JOURNAL In my last communica
ton reference was made to the influence Of
tobacco, upon the physical and mental be-
ing, &c. Investigations made by able and
experienced persons of it's effects, to whom
shall be indebted in my communication.
When that part of your male membeis are
passing through that critical period Of
their lives, from hoy to manhood, feeling
they are no longer boys, wishing to be men
by putting on manly airs, how natural to
suppose that to be seen with cigar they
will have safely passed the line, and will
be recognized as men. But how little do
they realize what fearful habit they are
enslaving themselves with, if they thus in
duge. A writer in the Buffalo Medical
Journal puts on record the following warn
ing: "The use of tobacco is bad enough
when began in mature life, but it is inf
nately worse when the foundations OF the
habit are laid in early years as it seems to
be the case here" A distinguished French
physician (M. Decaesne) has Investigated
the effect of smoking on thirty eight boys,
between the ages Of nine and fifteen who
were addicted to the habit. Twenty.seven
presented distinct symptoms OF nicotine
poison. In twenty-five were serious disoI.
ders of the circulation, indigestion, dulness
Of intellect, and marked appetite for
strong drink. In three there was heart
affection; in eight decided deterioration Of
blood in twelve there was frequent epis-
taxes or bleeding at the nose; ten had dis
turbed sleep, and four had liberation of the
mucas membrane of the mouth. All as
sert that its use is most injurious to young
persons. Even the" Organ OF the Tobacco
Trade" admits that few things could he
more pernicious for boys, growing youth
and persons Of Uniformed constitutions, than
the use Of tobacco in all its forms. While
il is plain that II has its pernicious inilu-
ence upon the young il will follow that il
has its perniciOus influence upon the older.
There are some constitutions that are less
affected by It than others. There are many
that feel its depressing influence, some not
conscious OF the cause, while others are sat
isfied tnal the very thing to which they are
enslaved, they more than kiss while il robs
them of their health. The French Gov
ernment directed the Acadamy OF Medicine
to inquire into the influence OF tobacco on
the human system. The report OF that
commission was that tobacco affected the
nervous system, depressing the faculties
and influencing the nutrition of the body
the circulation Of the blood, bad digestion
benumed intelligence and clouded memory
personal HOLINESS"
Four verses from onr Lords sermon on
the mount will be sufficient reply to "Al
spices" rejoinder. Blessed are they
which do hunger aud thirst after righteous.
/ ness. for they shall be filled" Blessed
are the pure in heart for they shall see God. ,
"a good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit
neither can corrupt tree bring forth gooC
fruit" "Judge not (rashly) that ye b.

MILLBURY ITEMS.

ED. JouRNAL:-The farmers Of this !
section are improving the fine weather we
are having now. Most Of them have their
oats sown, and plowing and other spring
work is going on at lively rate.
The erection OF Ames 4 James new
slave and heading factory has been com
menced and as they have goodly number
Of men working at it, the progress is very
rapid. They expect to have it in running
rider by the goth Of May.
l find Unnecessary for me to speak Of an
other fight in our little town. This time
France and Germany were represented,
but, unlike the battle across the waters
few years ago, France gained complete
viu ry The Marshal arrested and took Il EN-
before Mayor +. A. Grove, who soon came
to the conclusion that the victory was worth

wherewith, furnished BAIL and both we're
released. The row started in saloon, as
usual.
Our schools here closed on last Thursday.
Each school passed through its regular
order OF exercises during the forenoon. At
noon two tables the whole length of the
high school room were put up, and filed
from the great baskets OF good things
brought there during the forenoon by a
host Of the school patrons. After the mic
had been picked" and all had eni ,yed u
short time in visiting aud social enjoyment,
the bell was rung and all gathered in the
school house. Miss Wight dismissed her
school after distributing cards. But the
exercises of the higher department, con-
sisiing of singing, select and contest read
ings, class drills, &c, continued until about
four o'clock, after which Mr. Brim, mem
Der of the school board, and Mr.. Bailey
made few very appropriate remarks
The reading deserves special mention as ii
was very good. The same teachers, Mr..
McCrearY and Miss Wight, have been en-
gagged to take charge OF the schools during
the summer.
Miss Emma Downing and Mrs. Carrie
Youngs, have opened II millinery and dress
making shop in one of Mr.. n. NJ. Chap
mans rooms on Main St. They are doing
a good business and deserve the patronage
of the people of Mlbury and vicinity.

Fire near TOntogOny.

ED. JOURNAL last Saturday after
noon the home Of Wm. Benn, farmer
living about two miles north Of town, was
destroyed by fire. The origin Of the fire is
unknown. Mr.. Il. was absent at the time
of the hre, aud Mrs. Il. and four little
children were alone. Neighbors hurried
to their assistance, aud they succeeded in
saving few articles of furniture, but most
OF their household goods aud wearing APP
parel were destroyed. The oldest child, a
boy about II years old had narrow escape
from burning to death; he went up stairs
to save some bedding and threw it down
stairs, where it caught fire from below and
shut him up stairs alone. Putting hi
hands over his eyes to save them he rar
and jumped from a window to the ground
below. His hands are badly burnt, and
his face and one ear are scorched.
Our citizens wont to work to aid them
and so far as | can learn over $40 in money
has been subscribed. A donation wa
given at Whitmore's Hall last night, ant
many bundles of clothing, bed clothing
&c, and some furniture were brough
there, so that it will prove quite a sub
slantial aid. INCoG.
