TOTAL ApsrlxEScE.-A young lady who
vas firm advocate of total abstinence, when
riding from her fathers country seat to g
mel eghbori#g village, met young man on foot
who was carrying a suspicious looking jug:
She at once reined in her horse and asked
him what be had in "that jug"
Locking up with a comcal leer, he Simply
wnked one eye and smacked his lips, to indi-
cate that it contained something good. The
young lady supposing he meant alcohol, I'M
mediately began to talk temperance but hel
auditor requested the privilege Of first asking
her Just one simple question.
"What is it?" she inquired.
at is this he replied. Why is my jug
like your sidc.sadde :"
Shc could not tell.
aIt's because it holds gallon !" said he
"What trilingp exclaimed the indignant
Young lady, and then continued, Young
man, you do not perceive"
"Just one more question" interrupted bel
auditor, "and then I'm done. Why is my
lug also like the assembly-room OF female
seminary at toll.call? ?"
"Tm sure I don't know" petuantly replied
tie young lady. :,
swell, it's because it's full o lasses," said
the incorrigible auditor.
