THE VICTORIOUS LITTLE BOY.

| had the following anecdote from gentle
man OF veracity. A little boy in Connecticut,
of remarkably serious mind and habits, was
ordinarily employed about mechanics shop,
where nearly all the hands were addicted to the
common use of intoxicating liquors. The lad
had imblbed temperance principles, and though
often invited could never be induced to partake
with any of the shops crew. AT length his
teacher in the Sunday School, in conversation
on certain non resistant texts OF Scripture, had
awakened his mind to that subject, and he
very conscientiously avowed his determination
TO try to live in accordance with this great
Christian doctrine. Three or four of the harder
drinkers of the shop, somewhat piqued at such
precocious piety and scrupulOusness of con-
science, resolved to humble the lad, or at least
put his new notions to the test. They resolved
to force dram of rum down his throat by some
means. Selling an opportunity when he was
left alone in the shop with themselves, they In
vted him to drink. He refused. They then
told him they should compel him. He remain
ed calm and unmoved. They threatened him
with violence. Still he neither seemed angry
nor attempted to escape, nor evinced the least
disposition to yield; but insisted that it was
wicked, and he could not do it. They then
laid hold of him, man at each arm, while the
third held the bottle ready to force it into his
mouth Still their victim remained meek and
firm, declaring that he had never injured them,
| and never should, but that God would be his
friend and protector, however they might abuse
! him. Tho who hold the fatal bottle, up
to that moment resolute in his evil purpose,
was so struck by the non resisting dignity and
innocence of the lad, that, as he afterwards
confessed almost with tears, he actually felt un-
able to raise his hand. Twice he essayed to
lift the bottle, as he placed the nose of it in the
child's mouth, but his arm refused to serve him.
Not the least resistance was made in this stage
of the proceedings otherwise than by meek,
protesting look yet the ringleader himself was
overcome in his feelings, and gave over the
attempt, declaring that he could not, would not,
injure such an innocent, Conscientious, good
hearted boy. Such is moral power. Such is
the strength by which evil may, sometimes at
least, be overcome with good.-.4din Baliou

ANEcDorE OF KoscIUsKo.-The celebrated
Polish General, Kosciusko, wished to send
some bottles of good wine to a clergyman at
Solothun; and, as he hesitated to send them
by his servant, lest he should smuggle a part,
he gave the commission to young man OF the
name of Zelteur, and desired him to take the
horse which he usually rode. Young Zeltsur,
on his return, said TO kosciusko that he would
never ride his horse again, unless he gave his
purse at the same time. Kosciusko asked
what he meant2 He replied, :" AS soon as
poor man on the road lakes off his hat and
asks for charity, the horse Immediately stands
still, and will not stir till something is given to
the petitioner; and, as had no money about
me, was obliged to make motion as if was
giving something, in order to satisfy the horse"
A higher eulogium could hardly be pronounced
on the Polish hero.
