AMERICA.
This great power is spreading her eagle wings far and wide. Her gold, her timber, and many other valuable commodities float upon all seas. But one thing which America has done, will especially call forth the admiration of our native readers. We refer to that good law prohibiting the sale of "intoxicating drinks.'' This is not the first time that America has signalised herself by enacting laws affecting the high interests of mankind. Many great national acts are on record which are duly appreciated by every thoughtful mind, for it is as true now as it ever has been, that "righteousness exalteth a nation," whilst sin is a reproach to any people.
