500 TN TIGEp

The residents of North Water street were
afforded no little amusements, few days
since, by the incidents narrated to US In
substance as follows:
A countryman, the owner of a large but
usually good -natured dog, drove in town on
Water street. Tiger fell into bad compa-
nv, and regular muss eusued. Taken
suddenly, and almost unawares, the country.
mans dog seemed hardly to comprehend
whether it was 'free fight in earnest, or
only the rough sort ofplay Of village 'hounds,
until he found himself in a throat o;:nouth'
contest with regular fighting character, in
the shape of trained bulldog and getting
the worst of it. His master, however, by
this time comprehcnded the nature of the
muss, and springing from his wagon, caught
the bulldog by his narrative and endeavor-
ed to separate the combats.
Let that dog aloEc,, or I'll lam you over

and then at the top of his voice, shouted go
in Tige!
And Tige did 'go in Instantly the tide
of battle was turned. Tige secured and was
making good use of his vantage ground when
Bulrs owner suddenly became converted to
a peace maker. Suiting the action to the
idea he made feint to release his dog from
the vicc-like jaws of Tiger.
Let that dog alone, or I'll lam you over

Tiger pursued his work in hand until the

for he relaxed his hold and the latter SUNK

guests to do as they pleased, but in my own

Tfnlperante Matter.
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE {?

This is serious question; for RESPONSE
bility rests somewhere. Such terrible evil
as drunkenness, falling so heavily upon un-
nuuabered families, and wasting and consul
ming 50 many. in Gods image, cannot exist
under the moral government Of God, without
laying at some ones door, and involving ter
rible responsibility.
I. 1t lies at the deorof the drunkard him.
self It is a neral not a natural and physi-
cal evil, for which there isn Accountability,
more than for blindness or lameness by'birth;
it is the result of choice, of grati6ed appe-
tite; and though it may seize and bind him
in its iron chains, for it he is accountable.
He has destroyed his body, and sinned a.
gainst his own soul, aud he must bear it.
II. All vendors and all enticers to wine
and strong drink. They are the tempters
They spread the snare. They say, "Conre,
drink of my wine" They allure and drag
down to the pit; and they must answer for
the horrid result.
III. All moderate drinkers But how are
they responsible? I. They set an example
which leads to destruction. They teach by
their practice, that resort to the intoSica-
ting cup is pleasant, is safe, (andw knows
not that example is more powerful than pre-
cept, especially ifit is set by the respectable
and inAuential) 2 They hinder reform. -
They set them an example which they can
not follow and be safe No drunkard, drink
ing. moderately, can possibly become re-
claimed man. And to. stem the power of
moderate drinking in all around, is almost
an utter impossiblity. Think of this mod
crate drinker! As you pass through life,
saying let me eat and drink, and be merry,
you hedge up the way of reform to the last !;
you rivet upon him chain which cannot be
broken. You are the great obstacle which
he daily encounters; and, when he lies on
the burning gulph guawing his tongue for
pain, his thoughts will follow you wherever
you 20. Remember you, he will. Yes re.
member you-your example; your teaching
your indifference, your denial of all oblga-
ton to make sacrifices for the coed of others,
and your perseverance in the way of sup
posed safety, till you saw him sink into per-
dition. 4. 4. {.

ONE BRIGHT SpoT.-Rev. J. W. Burke,

Adrocate, writes: ''This country is celcbra-

As result of this (and we would have
every religious man to make note of it,
the citizens of Liberty county are charitable
in their contributions for religious purposes,
surprising any other section. The Christian
people, too, are most commercially harmo-
