The New York Courier and Enquirer says friend
who has Just returned from the interior of that State,
where mo license" prevails, relates some amusing
shifts which resorted to to crafty the thirsty
souls whose supply of nectar the law has cut off, In
one tavern, the landlord has caused box to be put
I'D In his barroom which painted in bold let
tiers, For the widow and orphan fund of the village
f." The thirsty traveller who should be so
foolish to ask for glass of liquor is promptly
fused for the law orbids the sale of It, but pointing
to the box, the charitable landlord says: "if you
contribute sixpence that fund, don't mind treat
ing" Very few are so dumb not to understand
this hint and fewer still uncharitabe to refuse
their mite to such excellent fund. The sixpence
contributed, and the landlord keeps his word and
treats.


In another place, landlord refuses to sell any
liouor but he demands from each traveller sixpenct
for backing his horse under the shed, the liquor o.
course being gratuitous-others sell nothing but tho
extracts of sarsaparilla, lemon or the ke-at leas
the labels all say so, and the law does not allow
one to go behind the labels, they drive thriving bu
siness. The striped pig is quite poor animal afte
this, and would think of giving sixpence fol
a sight of one, when with the same sum he can con
tribute to an excellent charity fund, and get treat
the bargain.
