THE QUAKER'S METHOD.
An inveterate drunkard once asked :i
Quaker whether he knew of a method
Whereby he could cure ins dominant
vice.
"Friend," answered Broadbrim, "it
is as easy as keeping thine hand open."
"How is that ?" said the drunkard ;
"every man can keep his hand open,
but as to abstaining from liquor, that's
quite a different thing."
" 1 will tell thee," quoth the Quaker;
" when thee has gotten a glass of gin in
thine hand, and before thou dost raise
the tempting liquor to thy lips, open
thine hand W keep it open ! Tbee
breakest the glass, but thee bl eakest not
the law s of sobriety."
That indefatigable worker, the pub
lisher of the WEST SllORB, Portland,
announces what he calls a "mammoth
number," to appear in July. Special
pains will be taken to render this issue
brimming full of rare attractions. Prep
arations are already being made for the
fulfillment of this grand project, and
we expect that the WEST SHORE for
July, iSSo, will eclipse anything of its
kind ever published north of San Frnn-
CISCO. Original essays, poems, scien
tific selections, and engravings of local
interest, will make up its sparkling
pages, I'nlike many other popular
journals Of the day, this periodical is
just as essentially a magazine for the
lamtly circle as the general reader and
savant, Mr. Samuel is the acknowl
edged pioneer in this field of literary
work on this part of the const, and
