this intent she mingled with group of tourists

A TEMPERANCE SToRY.-One evening last week
we took our place at the supper table of a Gin
cinnati and Louisville packet. Supper and con-
versation had progressed some before we were
seated An animated discourse was going on
'twixt an exceedingly sober-faced lady, no less
than thirty years old, on the subject Of temper
ance.
"Oh!" exclaimed she, with horror depicted
on her thin lips, al do despise the whisky
drinker."
The gentleman dropped his knife and fork,
seized her hand and giving it a hearty shake,
we thought tears were going to drop from his
twinkling eyes.
/" Madam said he, 81 respect your senti-
ments and the heart that dictated it. permit
no person to go beyond me in despising the
whisky drinker. L have been disguised on this
very boat. and say it now before our worthy
Captains face. What, / ask you, can be more
disgusting than to see we'll dressed, respectable.
ay, yirtuous looking young men, whose moth
ers are probably even now praying that the
tender instruction by which their youth was
Illuminated, may bring forth precious fruit in
their maturity. say, to see such young men
step up to the bar of the boat, and without fear
of observing eyes. or the condemnation of en-
lightened opinion, brazenly ask for old Bourbon
or Rye, or Monongahela whisky, when in that
bar they know there is the very best of Ole
Cognac Brandy"
