JOE VISITS TEMPERANCE FAMILY

Joe Harris was whole soued, merry fel
low, and fond of glass. After living in New
| Orleans for many years, he came to the con
clusion of visiting an old uncle, away up in
Massachusetts, whom he had not seen for
many years. Now there is difference be
tween New Orleans and Massa chusetts, in
regard to the use of ardent spirits. and when
Joe arrived there, be found all the people
| around about temperance, he felt bad, thiak
ing with the old song, that, ''keeping the
the spirits up, by pouring the spirits down."
was one of the best way to make time pass,
and began to feal indeed that he was in a
pickle. But on the morning of bis arrival,
the old man and his sons being out at work,
his aunt came to him and said:
"You have been living in the South, and no
doubt are in the habit of taking little some
thing to drink about eleven O'Clock. Now i
keep little here, for medicinal purposes,
but let no one know it, as my husband wants
to set the children good example,"
Joe promised, and thinking he would get
no more that day, took, as he expressed it, q
"buster." After he had walked out to the
stable who should be meet but his uncle.
"Wcll Joe," said he, 81 expect you are
accustomed to drink something in New Or
leans, but you will find US all temperate here
and Tor the sake of my sons, don't let them
know that have brandy about but / just
keep little out here for Rheumatism. VIII
you accept little 2"
Joe signifed his readiness, and took an
other big horn. Then continuing his walk
he came to where the boys were mauling rails
After convcrsing awhile. one Of the cousins
said: aH
"Joe, expect you would like to have
drink, and as the old folks are down on liquor
we keep some out here 10 help Us work"
Out came the bottle, and down they sat,
and he says that by the time he went home
to dinner he was as tight as he could well be,
and all came from visiting temperance fam
iLy.

Fourteen Great Mistakes,


1t is great mistake to set up our own
standard of right and wrong, and judge peo-
pie accordingly.
To measure the enjoyments of others by
our own.
To expect uniformity of opinion in this
world.
To look for judgment and experience in
youth.
To endeavor to mould all dispositions
alike.
Not to yield in immateral tIihss.
To look for perfection in our actions.
10 worry ourselves and others with what
cannot be remed ed.
Not to alleviate all that needle aleVation as
far as lies in our power.
Not to make allowances for the infrmatios
of others.
To consider every thing impossible that we
cannot perform.
To believe only what our finite minds car
grasp.
To expect to be able to understand every
thing.
The greatest Of all mistake is to live only
or Time, and that when any moment may
aunch us into eternity.

fed shirt bosom. and buff kid gloves-plain
fiat fiilt buttons of rich quality on the coat
and vest, The bridesmaids were dressed

colored gloves. The novelty of the ceremony
attracted large crowd of the neighbors -
After the ceremony was over, the bridal
party rode to the residence of Mr.. CrandalPs
mother, where the formal wedding feast took
place. The bride and bridesmaids wore their
riding suits throughout the whole day.
