TBE Cow IN THE oBoG-sHoP. The Rev.
Mr. Hunt, in an address TO the farmers of
Delaware county, said a sight of their beau
tlful fields and fine animals, reminded hun
of the purchase he had just made Of very
fine COW. Having some little children to
feed, and accommodated with small pas
ture adjoining the house he had taken, he
thought she would be great blessing. And
while getting his COW home. he asked the
man who was driving her, The had COW :
He replied he bad not. "Well," said Mr.
Hunt, "you have had one, and can tell
YOU where she is--she is IN the grog- shop"
"Why how is that ?" said the man. IL will
tell YOU" replied Mr. II. How much grog
do you drink ; Ten cents worth day =
--"Yes sir" "Well, that Is thirty SIX dollars
a year as much as gave for my COW"
"Now, YOU got in debt at the grog shops,
and other places, aud had to sell your COW
to pay your debts didn't YOU ~ He could
not deny il. "There," said |, "your COW
is in the grog shop. Aud when you carried
home your rum bill, and your wife asked
you where your COW was, and you had &c

the grog shop. itwould seem impossible
that any man, possessed of particle OF
kindness or moral sensiblity, would take a
COW from starving family, TO pay drunk
ard'rrum bill. But we have yet to learn to
, what state of hardness and enslblity, the
traffic in ardent spirits will reduce even a
professor ofreigion."
