ON BAD LIQUOR AND OTHER

MATTERS..

The human race drinks a good deal too much and the world's old maiden sunt is harassed thereby. The teetotal cause is vastly atmager than it was ten years ago, and at the some time the national drink-hill is a great deal larger. The demand for anti-liquer legislation and the demand for liquor keep on growing together. There is a constantly increasing trade in those good little books and snuffle-busting paraphlets, in which Thomas Jones is represented as home to his once happy domicile, and ruming dmok among the furditure with an axer but they appear to leave no perceptible effect behind them. Yet the attractions of drink, ao far as they are visible to any intelligent understand ing, are rather diminishing than increasing Whisky, as a rule, is partly kerosene and the rest liquid fire, and to the person who meets it for the first time, it resembles nothing so much as a live lobster swallowed with the claws foremost. Brandy and the rich old wines of Europe labour under a serious disadvantage, inasmuch as the quantity openly produced is only one-third or thereabouts of the amount consumed, and where the balance comes from no one knows. The vine-clad slopes where most of the world's liquor is produced are situated up three pairs of stairs

The publican, regarded as a man and a brother, is a failure; he is unwhole- some, pully and fat, and not calculated to adom a summer landscape. His bar is generally dingy and gritty, and the malarious loafer who hanate it is unpicturesque and offensive, and the barmaid who attends to it is a hopeless and heartless deceiver. Liquor, in general, is a curse, and tectotalism is another. The prospect of a world that is filled with biccups and whose feet are ded up in a hard knot is eminently offensive, the dream of a world of teetotal drivel and cold ica is, if possible, a shade worse.

At an early period of his life he chose the law as his profession and he was admitted an Agent and Soiletter of the Court of Session is Scotland in February, 1851, his career having therfore lasied over a period of exactly bitty years.
