A GOOD STORY.

From Ohio comes a capital temperance
story. Judge Quay, the temperance lectur-
er in one OF his efforts there, got of the
following;
All of those who in youth acquire hab-
It 0fdrinklug whiskey, at forty years of age
viii be total abstainers or drunkards. No
one can use whlskey for years in modera-
ton If there Is person in the audience
before me whose own experience disputes
this let him make it known | viii account
for it, or acknowledge that / am mistaken
A tall, large man arose, and folding his
arms in a dignifed manner across his breast.
said:
L offer myself as one whose experience
contradicts your statement
Are you a moderate drinker 2 said the
Judge.
Il am.
How long have you drank in modera-
ton p
Forty years.
And were you never intoxicated p
Never.
We'll, remarked the Judge, scanning
his subject close from head to foot, Yours
is a singular case, yet think it is easily ac-
counted foI. | am reminded by it of a
little story. 4 colored man with a loaf of
bread and flask of whiskey, sat down to
dine By the bank of a clear stream. In
breaking the bread some of the crumbs
dropped into the water. These were eager
ly seizedand eaten by the fish. That cir
cumstanee suggested to the darkey the idea
of dipping the bread in whiskey and feed
ing it to them He tried it. 1t worked
well. Some of the tlsh ate OF IL, became
drunk and foated helpless on the water. In
this way he easily caught 4 great number.
But in the stream was a very large fish very
unlike the rest. 1t partook freely of the
bread and whiskey, but with no perceptible
effect He was shy Of every effort of the
darkey to take it.
He resolved TO have it at all hazards, that
he might learn its name and nature. He
procured net, and, afrer much effort
caught it, carried it to colored neighbor,
and asked his opinion Of the matter. The
other surveyed the wonder moment and
then said "Sambo, l understand dis case.
Dat fish is q mulet- head. 1t hain't got any
brains. In other words, added the
Judge. alcohol effects only the brain, and
Of course, those having none may drink it
without injury
The storm of laughter that followed
drove the moderate drinker from the house.

BILL SIMPSONS LEGAL ExPERI-

Many years ago the Legislature of Ten
nessee passed an act 10 organize the county
OF McNaIry. At that time the county en-
traced In the limits of Snake, was occupied
by sturdy set of backEoOdsmen, totally
uhacQ Qualnted with courts, iails, etc. The
county assembled at the appointed site for
the purpose of cutting legs, making boards
etc The only theme Of daily conversation
when the men were assembled, was the
court None ofthem had ever seen court
IN session as yet developed. Each one
would give what his idea of court was.
None, however, were entirely satisfactory
until BIl Simpson was called on to give his
ideas. He said he knew all about court
that be had had lawsuit in North Caro-
llna. One of his neighbors' hogs kept com
ing when he fed his hogs until it got fat.
One morning he got so alfred mad that
be shot the hog. He thought it would not
DO 70 throw 1t away, so he cleaned and salt
ed 1t. Shortly after, his neighbor and a
mai Game ~ his huuse, examined The

after that, this man came and took him 10

ABOUT a dozen tne dressed men set in a
place that was paled around. The man put
me in pen just behind them.
He then called in twelve men they took
seats in box in front Of the fine dressed
men. The man that was writing gave the
twelve men a book and said Something
about Bill Simpson and the State. Then
one OF the fine men read something about
BIZ simpson and the hog, and he and
another of the fine dressed men had the
biggest quarrel you ever heard. | thought
they. would fight every minute, but they

and the hog and Bill Simpson, and some
times Mr., Simpson, but devilish seldom.
After they had quit quarrelhng, the big
man talked awhile to the twelve men, and
they went out and staid short time, and
came back and said something to the man
at the desk. The man on the bench said
something to the man that put me in the
office, and he took me out and tied me to
perslmmon tree and commenced fighting
me with a eowhide, and it made me 50 ali,

LAYING UP FOR CHILDREN.

Parental affection naturally inquiries what
it can hest do for the welfare of its children
in future years, and when the bosom which
now throbs with love to its offspring shall be
cold in death Many plans are laid, and
many DAYS and hours of anxious sOlicitude
are spent in contTiying ways and means Of
rendering children prosperous and happy
in future life. But parents are not always
wise in the provisions which they seek to
make for their children nor do they always
seek direction and counsel from God in this
matter The pest inheritance for children,
beyond all contradiction IS true piety to-
wards God, the salutary truths and princi-
pies Of religion laid up in the hearts of chill
dren-a good eiucaiion-go0d and virtuous
habitS-uubeudin principles of moral con-
duct-the fear Of God, and the hope OF
heaven This is the inheritance fol children,
and which all parents should be most anx-
ious to lay up for them.
Many an unwise parent works hard and
lives sparingly all his life, for the purpose of
leaving enough to give his children start
In the world, as it Is called. Setting young
man afoat with money left him by his rela-
tives, Is like tying bladders under the arms
Of one who cannot swim ten chances TO one
he will lose the bladders, or go to the bot
tom Teach him to swim, and he will not
need the bladders.
Give your children a sound education;
See to it that his morals are pure, his mind
cultivated, aud his whole nature made sub
/ servient to the laws which govern man, and
1 YOU have given what will be more valuable
than the wealth of the Indies. You hav'
given him a start which no misfortune cal
