How “Prohibition” Works in
Massachusetts-
Massachusetts, as everybody knows,
has a most stringent prohibitory li
quor law which is snpposod —theoret-1
icallv -To have made that State the
model temperance commonwealth in j
the Union. But a writer in the Bos
ton Gazette tells a strange story—one
rather calculated to shake our faith
in the law. He says ?
We at length reached the hotel
again, and I proposed a glass of bran
dy and water. Mv friend looked at
me and then at the landlord; and
then t! e landlord looked at me and
then at my friend. Perplexity over
spread the conntenance of both.
“Such a thing as a drop of liquor is
not to be bad in the place, said the
landlord.
“Bought you me an,' retorted my
friend.
“Bought, I mean,” was the answer.
Then both eyed me significantly.
I could not explain how badly I
wanted it, and could only give vent to
my feelings with a sigh.
“Without a word the landlord dis
appeared within the recesses of a
small room behind the office desk, and
presently came forth will) two empty
tumblers in bis hand. These he placed
upon the desk.
“But where is the -liquor ?” I in
quired.
“The law forbids me to sell it, he
said, “and I dare not disobey the law'.
If you can find any here you are wel
come to it,” saying which he accident
ally turned back the breast of I)is
coat. The neck of a bottle peeped
forth from the inside pocket. He
w’inked his eye at me, and I winked
my eye at him, after which I drew
forth*the bottle. He faintly struggled
to prevent the daring robbery upon
which I was bent, but I proved inex
orable.
“My private bottle kept for medic
inal purposes, and not for sale, ho
moaned, as he poured out the liquor
for myself and the worthy Chairman
of the Parish Committee. “Have
some water, gentlemen ?’ he added
with alacrity.
We drank, and I replaced the bot
tle in the repository whence I had ta
ken it. Then I put a dollar in his
hand.
“What is this for!’*’ ho asked, as he
deposited it in his waistcoat pocket,
and gave me a half dollar in change.
“For a bushel of oats,” I answered.
“Keep them until I send for them.”
“Ah, sir,” said the landlord, with an
air of virtuous resignation, “the pro
hibitory law has done a world of good
in stopping the sale of liquors. It’s
a severe law on us, but its a good
one.
t&T A woman cannot be too cau
tious, too watchful, too exacting in
hex 1 choice of a lover, who, from the
slave of a few weeks or months —rare-
ly years—is to become the master of
her future destiny, and the guide, not
only through all time, but perhaps
eternity.
• IST - We should spmetimes pause to
look back on the landscape behind us,
to see its colors softening with the
veil of distance—to recall “the tender
grace of a day that is dead.” There
is a great and subtle charm in retro
spect. Pleasure s are remembered with
out the accompanying drawbacks,
pain has lost much of its sting, and
scenes and circumstances long past
are often far moie clearly apprehend
ed than at the time when we took
part in them as actors or spectators.
Dyspepsia Remedy.— The following
remedy for diyspepsia is said to bo
very effective in some case: “Sweet
cream or sweet milk,the richer the bet
ter; use as often as convenient. When
ever any burning or sour sensation at
the stomach appears, drink half a pint
of sweet cream or milk, and relief is
evident. Use it freely at meals. To
tal abstinence from the use of tobac
co, coffee, strong drink, or anything
very sour, must be strictly adhered to.
Coffee being the worst of all things
for dyspeptics, must be entirely avoid
ed.”
Deadly Effects of Absinthe.—Du
ring tlie session of the Medical Con
gress at Lyons, a clay was set apart for
the study of alcoholic stimulants.
On that occasion the physician of the
St. Anno Asylum, Dr. Magnan, com
paring the chemical action of alcohol
and absinthe on man, drew the con
clusion that the former acts more
slowly, gradually provoking delirium
and digestive derangement, while ab
siutlie rapidly results in epilepsy.
Then, producing a couple of dogs, he
treated one with alcohol and the other
with the essence of absinthe, this lat
ter being the active principle of the
absinthe liquor which is commouly
drunk. The alcoholized brute could
not stand up, became sleepy and stu
pid, and, when set on his legs, trem
bled in an inert mass; the other dog
experienced at once frightful attacks
of epilepsy. Analogous etlects are
produced BiM lord.
