RARB ‘ABILITY.
A ritvr Ir the Ckiiti<tn Noes, n-latas
he f. 11 wing incident, which came under his own
observation;
“ A young woman ].|v in the agonies of death ; she
■ ‘vs a poor, b nicked drunkard; one was trying to!
lea l her to t’ie G ‘viour;,ani.--g other Sentitiienfs \
vhh h foil from l a Tfi -, was this, ‘Strong drink bus |
ruin- Ir - ti.’ ‘ Fes,’ replied her mother, ‘strongdrink j
Mu been her min.’ The civ in * woman, on hearing
- ! -'r u-t eni u-k, mn.-tcrod al .he strength .-lie could
- possi iy conunjm.’, and. ligki rup bur hand, said,
‘M.ijth ,il t-,i you lel.o barfial me to drink,’ and
’ lied sag; by , “-itl.o-.it God and without fiop .”
‘v -. m ’.-.-ho Warned me to drink i” lVlnt a
voice ofrccneut'oii for. a ntol’irr to hear, from the
• ips of *i dying child I But how often utlm-d—ifnot
by. the li| • of the mined me, yet by the “still, imail
oicc”.of coii£( ience, speaking to the heart of the
a.-.ntl ’f'here are, in this city, imndicds of lads
and youths, t::k*ng their first iensons in di unketiness
11. e fit'wa - h tub!., or ; t Hie brilliant Mitertainnicnt
given by flu.ir neighbors and friends, wliero the wine
‘ cup.each freely, and lends its Uoiiiiuui to intensify
| the bikir ty of the occasion. Thousands of the young
on . f our land ev> ry year stagger into dishonored
raves, (leaving behind litem a -.s.m-.nv more bitter
ihgu i-foit whichnvourtis tin.: da:d,) whoso first step
from tho path of strict sobriety uas taken in the
pure tul liome, and under tho sinction oi’ parental
! exa-iple. Ah, how many pan-nls hnvn heard, how
’ many more are doomed to hear, from the lips o!
drunken 39ns, sometimes uttered with a low wail,
oim times spoken in tones of fierce reproach, and
.gain shrieked wildly in the frenzied accents of d.di
ium tfeuvens, —“It w,ts you mho learned me to
drink!”
Something more is due to, children than food, clo
thing, shelter, social and educational privilege;.—
; Right example should, il nstrate ,uii 1 enforce light
j precept. Hoiui ics against drunkenness, and prayers
i for deliverance from teinpt-ition, from lips that arc
redolent of wine, will avail hut little. What right |
has any father who ignores tho temperance ruforiua- j
i ion, to ( spent that it w ill bless his eon ? What rca-;
-on lias Lie to hope that that son will escape the 1
: blighting curse of inebrioty, if his ow n example is|
-ach as naturally encourages in the child those indul-;
ycuciv-s that form tho drunkard’s appetite? There
1 are temptations enough in tho path of youth, without |
i addition to their number by parental hands.
Parents! give to your childron not only wiso coun
is is, but puro aj’pelitcti. Upon tho latter may de
! pend a lifts of happiness, of usefulness, and of honor.
: fhc drunkard’s appetite, however formed, is a ter-J
ible legacy to leave to those you love. But if you
sanction, at home or abroad, by your own example,
the use of intoxicating Loverages, this may ue the
inheritance which you will cave to your children—
m inheritance to whoso horrors, wealth can prove
| no alleviation, and poverty scraccly an aggravation.
Beggary, without this, A infinitely better than
rmcity revenues with it. Neither riches, nor
learning, lwr Itonoialde connfi-t oim, nor hiih so
cial position, nor potuica distinctions can compel:-
ate for the wrctolieducsa that such an inheritance
uuißt entail upon its posstasor. Vet, all flint is

NO RIGHT INVADED.
’ -'C clamor about “invas On of rbjits,” raised by j
I £ ’ u ’ i: ‘l l ’* l ”v interest a ainst the biimds of p-ohibitimi, i
I is tints calmly and condvisiveiv met l.y Mr. Co*mib--, j
; n bis “ Appeal to Voter The a---giiti".'iit is soutul 1
! logical, complete—and we venturi’ to prrdict that it ■
“id remain nn.n-w ired, f r the vety good rgawm |
that it is unanswerable.
“ I’he first argument of tho liquor party is, that |
itnliruluul right* ieoul.l he inraded. If this wen
true, it is no argument against pro', ii di-m, provid- and
the public good requires it. It is a well- •tiib'b.K-d
I rinci;! ■ of government, that indTrititinl rights mint
yield to the public good, but, public good must never
be .sacrificed to private tights.
“The position Ufhbe. No right would bo inva
did. Tho rights of men un er government lmv.
their o'riein in one or move of three kinds qflaw, viz; 1
natural, common, 0 statute law.
“‘Natural Jaw,* says Bhickntono, ‘requires that \v
should live honestly, hurt nobody, and render to !
every one his due.’ Can any man sell liquor and rmt
hurt his customer.*.? Can he take their in one v and!
render then* an equivalent? He cannot; and there
fore has no natural right to sell.
“‘Common la-v,’says th . same author, Meclm ,
that no man h b a light to use his property to tin ‘
injury of another, and that the consent of the 1 ait\ 1
injured is no miHg ition of the offe.net.’ No man
can rent his house for tho side of liquor without ♦fil
ing it to iifinre others.’ No man can Hull liquor as a j
b. vgrngo, and not injure those who con nt to tak< •
it. Common'liT'', therefore, gives: no man the right I
to Kell.
“Statute law, as it now stands, does give men r
!eg and right to sell. The Legislature has done wliat f
neither natural orcofrunon law would allow. Tin j
liquor rellor's right is only a leyUlathe right. Hi 1
holds it nt the trill of the legislature. Tho powcu :
that (fare, can tale the right away. When this so 1
j done, the right censer. Is it not tho duty of tin ‘
j legislature to take away privileges, which expci iene. !
i declares to bo destructive to the best, interests of so- j
duty ? Gambling and lotteries were once right, ■
according to law; they have been prohibited, because
i perniglou". Tho.liquor traffic is a thousand times!
j more destructive, and should bo prohibited also,
; No right will bo invaded by doing this.”

* ANECDOTES OF DANIEL WEBSTER.
Th following characteristic and amusing amedotes
nu undeniably antlivntic:
Si’ui” four or five years ago, he paid a profeUßional
visit to Noi tluimpton, Massachusetts, one of the plea
-1 •* irtcst inland towns In the State. Ilia presence there
! expected, and being the political idol of a largo
1 j.oitirin’ of the community, preparations had been
| maefojo give him a cordial reception, by eminent pri
, vatc citizens. Tho landlord, too, of the principal inn,
had prepared a very handsome suite of apartments
1 for irs express accommodation, and had made ar
(ranpcnienta to linvc tlio great man occupy tliem.
At, length Mr. Webster arrived, and stopped at the
: bet !in ’question. I/e was shown to his quarters,
| with which lie exnre sed himself well pleased, until
It was incidentally 1. marked, by some friend pn.sent,
j that “Northampton was a temperance town, and
hiit that ivas a tetiipcianie house.”
“Won’t you ring the bell for the landlord *” asked
Mr. Webster of a gentleman who stood near the bell
j pull.
He rang the boll, and the landlord soon came up.
“Mr. Brewster,” said Mr. Webster, “can you di
: reel me to General L ’s house? I think I will
! take up my quarters with him.”
Tlio landlord, with groat disappointment express
ed in Ids face m and manner, said :
j “Why, Mr. Webster, I was in hopes my rooms
[ would meet your entire approbation. We had taken
: great pains to have their arrangements such asshould
j please you.”
“Four rooms, Mr. Brewster, arc excellent every
j way. Nothing need bo more, so ; and I understand
1 vour table is abundantly supplied with w< 11-cookcd
viands. Hut, Mr. Brewster, I understand that your
house is conducted upon rigid temperance principles.
Vow, sir, 1 am an old man; my blood is thin, and
; now and then l require a little stimulus. Have you
1 my pure old brandy, Mr. Brewster?”
“I have some of the oldest and purest in Massa
!ci msettf. I think,” answered the landlord.
“Well, Mr. Brewster, have the ki idncrs to bring
me up a buttle, and place it on the little stand be
! bind that door.”
Mr. Brewster departed, and soon camo back with
the desiderated fluid, which lie deposited as directed.
“Mr. Brewster,” continued Mr. Webster, “have
you any fine old Madeira?”
“Yes, Mr, Webster, of the oldest and best vintage.”
“Do yon know bow to ice it properly, so that it
hail bo oniyjiM gratefully cool?”
Tin landlord an,jo to ed m the affirmative, and went
• down to the r filar for the bottle. When became
| buck, lie pi seed it, be i le the other bottle, in a grad
is'ed codfer, nnd was about to retire, when Mr.
I Webster said:
“You nod b : under no apprehension, Mr. Brew
ter, that th “ infraction of the temperance law of
our toon will be discovered. I tiiu-t needs honor
| tii'v, being one of its humble ministers; and would
not exhfik *vra justifiable emufon of its command*.
*'■>, Mi. Brc-stcr, you lea*e those bottles there,
| where they will he unobserved; and in a *h rt t'tne
| [will-pul hciu where ?>a human eye can ice them.’”
Tin* 1 econl mioodoto to which wc have alluded is
vouched for by a correspondent of the Boston Daily
I I’rann ript;
‘,n the Miinmar of 1823, when I was a mere lad,
Iv,ns at SwiliY, in Sandwich. My then school-mas
t 1 v. .*■ i there also, and from hi 11 I had the story :
“John T out ‘*. the well-known wbriqnet of the
rWuTtusn who attend.'/ the amateur anglers on their
X'-u’; iou*. John was not remarkable fir his veraei
jiy: quite othei is , when the success of his hook
:.iid line was flip subject of his story.
“0 a day tic was ‘out’with Mr. Webster. Both
j “ ‘.re standing in tie’ brook waitirg patiently for a
Mute, when Mr. Webtfor {old John in what manner
h ‘-‘id caught n very large trout on a former occa
j Ton:
‘ ‘Yi/ur ; ono -,’ said John, ‘that was very well for

bush ynd I took a fish that weighed—’
| (“I forget, how much, but of course many ounces *
jlr.rg r than th* ataltstnan’e big fish.) *
‘“Alii John! John!’ interrupted Mr. Webster,
’you nr. an lu'.-phib iou~ animal: you lie in the tea- h
Ur, aid you lie out of it /” |
