A GOOD EXAMPLE,

Colonel was Il man of
amlable manners, aud well informed
mind. Being much employed in public
business, which called hin from place
TO place, ardent spirits was often set be-
lore him, with an Invitation to drink.
AT first he took social glass, for civil
tvs sake. But at length a habit was
formed, and appetite began to crave its
customary Indulgence. He drank more
largely, and once or twice was qnite
! overcome. His friends were alarmed.
lie was upon the brink of a precipice,
from which many have fallen to the
lowest pitch of wretchedness. In his
sober hours he saw the danger he was
in, Said he to himself, one day when
alone " Shall Col. b rule ?-or
shall rum? If Col. B. rule, be and
his family may be respectable and hap
py, But II rum rule, Col. B. is ruined,
his property wasted, and his family made
Wreiched" At length, said he, set
down my foot, and said, '!Col. B. shall
rnle and run obey And from that
day Col. Z. did rule. He Immediately
broke of, his Incorporate habits and liv-
ed TO good old age, virtuous, respect
ed and happy. Let every one who has
acquired, or is acquiring a similar hab-
it, 50 dnd do likewise. N. II. Repos.

-" If do, (replied the witness) hope
to show more Of the Gag than you do. :"
The retort was felt, and the learned gen
tleman became, as the witness humor-
sasly observed, quite chop fallen. Il.
