THE OLD arAN's STORY.

TALE OF THE TEMPERANCE REFORM.
shall never forget the commencement
of the temperance reform. / was child
at the time, of some ten years of age. Our
home had every comfort, and my parents
idolized me, their child. Wine was often
on the table, and both my father and moth
er frequently gave it to me in the bottom
of the glass.
One Sunday at church, startling an
nouncement was made to our people.
knew nothing of its import, but there was
much whispering among tho men. The
pastor said that on the next evening there
would be a meeting and an address on tho
evils of ntemperance in the use of alcohol
ic drinks. He expressed himself ignorant
of the object Of the meeting, and could not
say what course would be best to pursue in
the matter.
The subject of tho meeting came up al
our table after service, and questioned my
father about it with the curious eagerness
of child. The whispers and words which
had been dropped in my hearing clothed
the whole affair in great mystery to me,
and l was all eagerness to the same strange
thing.
Ny father said it was some scheme to
unite church and State.
The night came, and troups of people
gathered on the tavern steps, and l heard
the jest and laugh, and saw drunken men
reeling out of the bar room. / urged my
father to let me 60, but he refused. Final
ly, thinking it would be an innocent gratifi-
cation of my curiosity, he put on his hat,
and we passed across the green to church,
| remember we'll how the people appeared
as they came in, seeming to wonder what
kind of an exhibition was to come off.
In the corner was the tavern keeper, and
around him number of friends.
For an hour the people of tho place con-
tinued to come in until there was fair
house full. All were cautiously watching
the door wondering what would next ap-
pear. The pastor stole in and took seat
