TEMPERANCE JoKE-A COOP One. Joe Har-
ris whole-souled, merry fellow, and very fond
of glass After living in New Orleans for many
years, he to the conclusion of visiting an old
uncle, away up in Massachusetts,, whom he had
not seen for years. Now, there is difference be-
tween New Orleans and Massachusetts,, in regard
to the of ardent spirits, and when Joe arrived
there and found all the people run mad about
temperance, he felt bad, thinking with the old
song, that keeping the spirits up by pouring the
spirits down. one of the best ways to make
time pass, and began to fear, indeed, that he was
in pickle. But on the morning after his arrival,
the old man and his sons being out at work, his
aunt came to him and said
Joe, you have been living in the South, and,
no doubt, in the habit of taking little some
thing to drink about eleven o'clock. Now keep
some here for medicinal purposes, but let no one
know it, as my husband wants to set the boys a
good example"
Joe promised, and thinking he would get no more
that day, took, as he expressed it, "a buster. :"
After that he walked out to the stable and who
should he met but his uncle.
"Well, Joe, says he, I" expect you are accus-
toned to drink something in New Orleans, but you
find us all temperance here, and for the sake of my
sons, don't let them know that have any brandy
about; but just keep little here for my rheuma-
tism. Will you accept little?"
Joe signifed his readiness, and took another big
horn. Then continuing his work, he came to where
| the boys mauling rails. After conversing
awhile, one of his cousins said
| "Joe, l expect you would like to have drink
and as the old folks are down on liquor, we keep
some out here to help us on with our work"
Out came the bottle, and down they sat, and he
says that by the time he went home to dinner, he
was as tight as he could we'll be- and all from visit
ing temperance family.
