HOW WHISKY TASTES,

HOW WHISKY TASTES.
The editor Of the Boston Olive Branch
says, that at IL recent session of one OF the
western conferences Of the Methodist Eris-
copal Church South, the venerable Bishop
Soulc, in making some observations OH the
subject OF Temperance, is represented as
having sail-" Though l have passed the
scventy-fiIih year Of my age, have not
yet learned how whisky tastcs!!' True to
the letter. We were present on the occa-
sion, and heard, as the old people used to
say, with my own cars" the statement rs
it fell from the lips Of that eminent minis
ter Of the Cross of Christ.
And here it should he known and well
understood by all concerned, that as the
legitimate result Of this rigid adherence to
the tota! dsusc Of ardent spirits, the Bishop,
though now :erg.rg towards the cicht:eth
year Of lis age, is possessed Of much
larger share Of physical energy and muscu-
lar strength than usually falls to the lot of
men i'll the prime of life nor car his most
intimate and intelligent friends and ac-
quaintances perceive the slightest aLatc-
ment in the hcrculean force and viyor of
his mental faculties. lie stand" "as up
rightly, walks as LriskIv, cats as heartily,
sleeps as so"ndly, talks as ilucntly, breaches
rs powerfully, prays as fervently, and feels
;ls deeply and intensely for the interest and
prosperity of the church, as he did torty
gears ago.
In addition 10 his inccssant and ,lduous
labors, within the limits of the several
States and Territories of this great confed-
cracy, for the last half century, lie has
twice crossed the Atlantic, performed the
tour OF Europe, and preached the glad It'd
'ngs Of salvation to admiring thousand in
nearly all the principal towns and cities of
the British Empire. Bcsiles this, within
the last twenty-iour months he has twice
visited California, superintended both ses-
sions of the Pacific Conference, and trav-
eIed extensively through many portions of
that f;'r-distant land, procaiming "Jcsus
and him cruciiicd," rs the only hope of a
wrctched and ruined world, to the vast
crowds that everywhere hocked to hear
him, in the wide wastes, as in the cities
full.
But not having yet filled up the measure
of his obligations to the church and tue
world, he is even now holding himself in
readiness to pay California a third visit,
should no one of the younger members of
the Episcopal College find it convenient to
enter upon the performance of this impor-
tant mission.
Such, in brief, is a rough outline sketch
OF the physical intellectual, moral power
and efficiency of the man-and the only
man-who can in truth say, at the ad-
vanced ago of seventy-five years." Ihaw
not get learned ho,o a0hisky tastes!"
Order Never leave things lying about
a shawl here, a pair Of slippers there,
and bonnet somewhere else-trusting to
a servant to set things to rights. No mat
ter how many servants you have, it is a
miserable habit, and if its source is not in
the intellectual and moral character, it will
inevitably terminate there. If you have
used the dipper, towel, tumbler, &C., put
them back in their places, and you will
know where to find them when you want
them again. Or if you set an example of
farelessness, do not blame your servants for
following it. Children should be taught to
put things back in their places as soon as
they are old enough to use them; and if
each member Of the family we're to observe
this simple rule, tho house would never get
muchse cut Of order, and a large arnouns 3of
ve1atioas and useless labor would Be
avoided. 3, &
