How He Kept the kIeGse.

Oiu Dou was Il JolIy OIu SOUL, and
much addicted to the use of intoxicating
drinks. He was very well known about
the neighborhood where he resided. and
was most generally to be seen in .slight-
ually corned" condition As NAV be sup-
posed, this genius had a number of boon
companions who followed him as leader.
and were, under his able tuition, already
adopts in the various arts of Smiling"
"imbibing," etc.
1t was just about the time of which VIC
are writing that the temperance cause was
creating great sensation through the vii
lage where lived our hero Meetings were
held, the public mind was excited, and
numbers signed the pledge
Now Ben, hearing of these meetings,
determined to attend one, just to see what
1t was like; and, accordingly, the next
evening found him and his companions
seated in the lecture room awaiting the
issue. The lecturer that night was unusu-
ally eloquent and Ben, who was of verv
excitable nature, became so enthusiastic
that when the usual invitation to sign the
Piled ge was given out, he rushed up to the
stand and affixed his name to the document.
His example was contagious, and all his
lIlclluS NeuI anu likewise.
The temperance folks congratulated
themselves on having achieved so glorious
a victory; for all knew thai Ben was man
of his word and would do as he said. On
the other hand, as may be imagined, 3en's
situation was, if not absolutely unbearable,
very disagreeable; and, now that his ardor
had cooled, he began to deplore his rash
act. But what was he to do? He had
signed the pledge forbidding him to drink
any Intoxicating liquors; and his honor
| (Ben was great stickler for honor would
not allow him to break it.
A few days after this, Ben and his
friends were going on fishing excursion /;
and the prospect of hot day, added to
their long abstinence (three days) was
uncomfortable.
"Pl tell yer what it Is, Ben," sagely
remarked one of these worthless, "we've
been and gone and done a foolish thing in
signin' that ar consarn. Our fun Ii all be
spilled to-day because as how we amt got
nothing to drink"
"Hold on bit, boys, replied Ben, ,"Pve
got an idea Wait here till / come back j"
And without waiting for an answer, off
he ran to the village store. Presently he
returned with two or three loaves of fresh
bakers bread and gallon of ''red-eye'"
"What are you goin' to do, Ben ?" asked
his astonished companions. "Remember
you've signed the pledge!
81 know il" returned Ben, as he pro.
ceeded coolly to cut the loavcs in two, die
out a small place in the center, and pour
in the liquor, which the bread absorbed
like sponge; 81 know it I've promised
not to drink any more rum ; but L didn't
say anything about eating it j."
They all saw the ruse, and gladly avail
ed themselves of it; and, as may be sup
posed, they returned that night, rather
"wet"
This coming to the ears of the society
Ben was arraigned before them-where
after having told his tale, he had the secre
satisfaction of seeing his name scratched
off the list.

A THRILLING STORY.-"Is is just twen-
ty years ago, yesterday" said our narra-
tor, ''that a party of us fellers went up
the river on a skatin' match. The day
was colder than ten icebergs all stuck to-
eether, but the ice was as smooth as glass
and we made up our minds to have heap
of fun. Bill Berry was the leader of the
crowd. He was tall, six-footer, full of
pluck, and the best skater in all creation.
Give Bill Berry good pair of skates, and
good sailing, and he could make the trip
to Baffin's Bay and back in twenty four
hours, only stopping long enough to take
a drink at Halifax. Well, we got to the
river and fastened our skates on and af-
ter taking a horn from Joe Turner's flask,
started off in good style, Bill Berry in
the lead As | was tellin ye, it, was a
col dogoned cold day and SO we had to
skate fast, to keep the blood up. There
were little breath-holes in the ice, and
every now and then we would come near
goin' into 'em. My skates got loose, and
[ stopped to fasten 'em. just as | had
finished buckling the straps L heard a
noise. 1 looked around and saw some
thing shooting along the ice like light

been going it like creased electricity, and
before he knew it, went into one of them

to cut his head off against the sharp cor

words out of his mouth, | looked at Bills
