Testimony of a Venerable Clergyman.

In 1889, the Rev. w. Jay declared: 81
believe that next to the glorious Gospel,
God could not bless the human race SO much
as by the abolition of all intoxicating IL
quors." In his autobiography he says =
"In looking back upon the years have
passed through, for nothing am I more
thankful than the caution was led to ex-
ercise with regard to drinking. Iknew the
danger of increase with regard to spirituous
liquors; knew what temptations young
minister of some considerable popularity is
exposed to in his frequent dinings out, es-
pecially in great towns and cities, at the ta-
BILE of professors who vie with each other in
extravaganza, for the faithful do not always
ad to their faith Temperance As far
as it was in my.power, by word and deed
always discountenanced such needless anc
improper 'feasting of themselves without
fear 1 commonly used water principally
and for years back only; and [ am full,
persuaded that it has befriended my diges
/ ton, preserved the evenness of my spirits
and added to my comfort, especially in m,
feeling cool and fresh in the relaxation AM
llassitude of warm weather, while other
were deservedly painting and burdens t
, themselves. My natural wants were S
many, that / never thought of adding /
them the cravings of fictitious appetite

SMART BoY.-When Lieut.. Gov. Pat
terson was speaker of the Legislature of
one of our States some dozen boys presented
themselves for the post of messenger, as is
usual at the opening of the house. He In
quired their names, and into their condition,
in order that he might make the proper se-
lection. He came, in the course of his ex-
animation, to small boy, about ten years
old, a bright looking lad.
"Well, sir" said he, "what is your
name 2"
esJohn Hancock, SIR replied the boy.
"Whatl T. said the speaker, 'syou are not
the one that signed the Declaration of In.
dependence, are you 2"
s'No, sir" replied the lad, stretching
himself to his utmost proportions, "But ]
would if I had been there"
"You can be one of the hemessengers," sait
the speaker.

A guest so terrible a. T. L.
Quite temperance lecturer is Miss Gran
ville' exclaimed Charles Oscar to his very
dear and fashionable friend, Mrs. de Rush,
the morning after the soiree. Twas really
surprised to hear young lady of her sta
ton speak as she did, l acknowledge 1t is
very laudible in the lower order to try and
Danish intemperance, but in the name of re-
finement keep the nauseous theme from being
debated within our sphere. Why should we
trouble ourselves about them? If they choose
to engage in midnight brawls and debauche-
ries, let them do so.'
True enough agreed Mrs. de Rush, but
Emily is a spoiled child her foolish, fond
father has always allowed her to have her
own way. The idea of girl like her setting
herself up as mentor; why it is preposter-
GUS exclaimed the indignant lady.
But mamma interposed Miss de Rush.
you know that Emily is girl Of strong in
telleet; she has no doubt reflected upon the
subject, and acts according to her precon
ceived opinions. / can see no reason why
she should he censured for avowing her prin
ciples In my poor Judgment she continued
archly, Il think that we are In as much dan

mind her, Mr.. Oscar, she's jesting'
The young lady smiled, and, like goo
girl let her aristocratic mamma have her ow
} way.

THE SULTAN DRUNkARD.-The Lon

THE SULTAN A DRUNKARD. The Lon
don correspondent of the New York Tri-
bune, writes:
The Sultan, noble minded, but weak,
has, in his endeavors to become civilized,
taken fancy to wine drinking, and bis
health is now entirely PROSTATE in conse-
quence of habitual drunkenness. Should
he happen to die, the succession might
be contested between his uncle and his
brother, both of them pretending to act as
guardians to his son, who is minor. A
struggle might easily ensue, giving han
die to Russia, as we'll as to England and
France for interfering. The condition OF
Europe is really not to be envisd, since the
continuance of peace all over the continent
rests upon such slender grounds as the
health and life of Napoleon in France, and
the Sultan in Turkney.

A BEAUTIFUL THoUGHT.-As in the
light of cultivated reason, you look abroad
and see wealth of beauty, profusion of
goodness in the work of Him who has
strewn flowers in the wilderness, and pain
ted the bird, and enamelled the insect, in
the simplicity and universally of his laws
you can read this lesson. An uneducated
man dreams not of the common sunlight
which now in its splendOr floods the fir
mament and the landscape he cannot COM
preheud how much of the loveliness of the
world results from the rejecting propensi-
ties of the most physical bodies. If, in
stead of red, yellow and blue, which the
analysis of the prism and experiments of
absorption have shown to be its constituents,
it had been homogeneous, simple white,
how changed would all have been!
