SATURDAY" MOl;M\a, JULY ■> 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.
