The keeper OF a "Hoiel," named after
Saint-Sl. Charles heads an adyertnmenl,
"Oysters for the Million" and says, "public
attention having Of late been called 70 the SUI
periority Of this house over others Of the kind
by my friends in the Temperance cause, have
found il requisite 10 extend my facilities for
meeting the wants oI my patrons BY engaging

partment OF the house." @ ia's


Now, every one knows that no friend in the

the las! six weeks, Mcconnell committed sui

was concocted between two drunken bloods;

We have no objection 70 good eating, as our
market basket will always exhibit, but we

the traffic in ardent spirits, And we believe
that il the proprietor OF the 81. Charles would
abolish his bar, he would make just as much
money as he does with an additional bar-keep
er, and we advise himto make the calculation.
Men who drink much lose or impair their ap-
petites-men who drink do not make as much
money as those who are teetotalers, and, as a
consequence, have not as much to spend. If
