A TEMPERANCE ANECDOTE.
A favorite temperance lecturer, "down
South" used to relate the following anecdore.
10 illustrate the influence ofa bad example in
the formation OF habits, ruinous in their eff
fects:
Adam, and Mary his wife, who lived in one
OF the old States, Were very good members of
the church. good sort of folks any way. quite
industrious and thriving in the world, and Mary
thought great deal of the minister, and the
minister thought good deal of glass Of good
toddy.
Whenever the minister called to make Mary
a visit, which was pretty often, she coutrived
to have him glass of toddy made and the miu
lister never refused to imbibe. After while
Adam got following the example of the minis.
ter TO such an extent, that he became drunk
ard-drunk up everything he had, and all he
could get. Mary and he became very poor in
consequence ofhis following the minister's ex-
ample SO closely; but the good minister con-
tinued his visits, and poor Mary continued
still to give him glass of toddy. One day he
called in and told Mary that he was going
away for aweek-shouId return ON Friday
and handed her book containing acatechism,
and told her when he returned he should ex-
pect her TO be able to answer some Of the
questions. Mary says. "Yes," and laid away
the book carefully. But Mary, lie good
many other church members, thought no more

"What shall do?" says she, athe minister 10

book he gave me . How can l answer the
questions?"

| quarter and let me go overto Smife's and get
some good rum, and you can answer his ques-
tions with glass Of toddy.''
| Mary took the advice-gave Adam quar-
| ter and jug, and offhe started. After get

Adam concluded to iasts the rum. One TASTE

ofrocks and broke the jug and lost the RUM
But Adam mansgedto stagger home.
Soon as he gotinto the house, Mary inquif-
| ed anxiously for the hof,le of run1.

| Poor Adam managed to stammer out "that
he stumbled over pile ofrocks, and broke
the bottle and lost the rum"

the man OF God to see Adam drunkl" so she for
| the want of better place to hide, sent him un-
| der the bed. BY the time he was fairly under,

ments, be asks Mary il she thought she could
answer the question, show did Adam fall"
Mary turned her head 6rst one way and
