Articles and Notices under tho above heaj are furnUbed bv the Ladies ot the aadthe editor claims no part or credit; time. above head w, o, i;. TJ edit foe the High and Low License. We are determined opponents of the whole saloon system from beginning to end. As between two evils, the high- license system possesses some prtf^renoes such as fewer saloons, more easy in police surveilance, and more revenue. It goseesses ,• some curses. It makes the usiness more respectable. It induces more young men to begin thedrunkard's career. It makes the State a cc-pertner in the profits derived from the ruin of its citizens. Our conscience will not allow us to agree to any license. The whole business is wrong, a sin against God and human­ ity, and ought to be extirpated. Intemperance. V 'Doth not in temperance,'\aid Soc* rates, "rob us of our reason, tnfrt chief excellence of man, and drive us on to commit the very "greatest disorders? Can he, who is immersed.iu pleasure, find , time to turn his thoughts on thing* that aro useful ? But, if he .could, his judg­ ment is so far overborne by his appe­ tites, that, seeing the right path, he de­ liberately rejects it.

Fill a bottle or common water glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours ; a sediment or settling indicates a diseased condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is positive evidence of kidney trouble.
