THE TEMPERANCE PIG.-There was n coun-
trymaH in the north, who met friend, whom
he had not seen for some time previously, and
matter of course, he invited his friend TO go
into the first public house they met, to take
share of noggin of spirits, to which he made
objection, saying "that he did not like that
house." on which he brought him TO the next,
bnt he made the same objection also; OH which
the countrymAu stated he would 20 with the
friend wherever he pleased, and accordingly
brought him To the first shop where milk was To
he sold and bought quart of new milk and
shared 1t with his old acquaintance, who, howev-
err, thought tina; he was mad but before they
parted, he explained that he was temperance
man, aud that lie had an utter dislike to public
houses, and made the couniryu.an promise to
pay him visit at his house, at some future oc-
casiou, which the counryman having done C.
coriing to promise, his friend pointed out the
comforts ofhis dwelling house, and then taking
him out to n snug pig sly, in which there was
nice fat pig, told him that he got that pig from
the temperance society, and that it always be-
slowed something profitable or its faithful mem
bers. 'Oh. oh, }" said the cnuntryman, then if
thar be the case will be member too" On
this his friend explained in what way the socie-
ty had bestowed on him the pig, namely, by
teat hing him that it much better to lay by
any port ion of his earnings thar he could spare,
than to spend it in public house.-"I bought
this pig said he "when a slip with the shilling
