A TEMPERANCE STORY.


when / was little girl, we lived among
the hills of Scotland, where my father had a
large sheep-farm Temperance was never
heard Of then, and every day for dinner we
had homemade beer, and all drank as much
as they wanted; aud no friend ever came in
without being asked to have some old whisky.
On market aud fair-days have seen meu
come home sick, as the little folks were told /;
aud all the remark that would be made about
it was, Folks must have a little fun, some
times" used to think that getting sick
was queer fun; but as grew to understand
that it was the whisky that made them sick,
| would wonder how people would take so
much trouble to brew anything that made
them sick and cross for a long time after they
drank it.
Zone day | shall never forget we were in

had stopped to rest and beg cup Of milk.
Mother felt so sorry for the old woman that
she brought gas, of hot whisky aud offered
it to her. In an instant, glass and whisky
were hurled to the back of the fire. How her
eyes sparkled She screamed out, How
dare you give me drink of fire--fre, say ? "
We did not know what TO think, and clung to
mother, who tried to quiet the old woman
but it was of no use. " ! want to warn you

PLEASANT ADJUSTMENTS.

e
want to have some kind of amusement that i
new. They get tired of the old ones. And
then the question comes up
/ Who knows new plav9r
Let me tell YOU about some plays very
common at the West. among children They
NAV be new to some of YOU at least.
/ One /. called Guess.n Ii affords a fine
chance for the di,play of "yentriloouistie"
mowers and i mite Amusing
The children form circle. each one ioin.
ing hands with those on each side. Then
some one Il. detailed to act as " Gnesser. "
This one takes his plaee IN the ring. and ha,
TO he blindfolded He IL then qiyen a stick
He then saws. " March," and the circle
moves around. until he saws HALT" He
then reaches ont his stick and touches some
one in the circle. The person touched takes
hold of the stick. The "Guesser then
asks Who is it?" And here the fun
comes in.
The person who holds the other end Of the
stick must respond to all questions asked him
by the " Guesser," but must try to alter or
disguise his voice in such a way as to deceive
theother. If the Guesser" fails to name the
right person. after asking FIVE questions. the
circle marches again, aud another member has
to 20 through with the examination. If.
however. the 3. Guosser calls the name of
/ the person he Is questioning. before the five
questions are asked. this person takes his
place in the ring, and he becomes " G uesser."
Another very popular play. aud very
amusing one is called "Stage-C Coach"
/ The children sit around the room, taking
care that every seat is occupied so that one
/ boy or girl is left to stand in the center
! The person thus left standingproceeds to give
each person in the room the name OF some part
of the coach For instance, one is given the
wheels. another becomes the axle. another the
tongue, one the reach, another the tire, and
so on. If desired. some one can be called
the horse, another the tugs, and the different
parts of the harness be divided among the
children. 1t affords much amusement to give
some one the name Of grandma. another that
of grandpa, aud another grandma's snuf.box
or grandpa cane
The person remaining standing then begins
in something like this way
The drirer got up one morning aud hitch.
ed up his horses. He got out his coach and
examined the tire, looked at the suheels, the
hubs, and the aries fixed the reach, cleaned
the tongte and put ON the horses. He then
drove down to the house and got grandma aud
grandpa and her snuff and his cane, and
started of. He went about a mile, and theu
the stage coach tipped.over p
Now the fun is like this If you had the
name of drirer and was hub, and Johnny

stands in the centre calls our names,---that is,

He is truly prudent who looks upon all
earthly things as nothing, that he may gain
Christ.
We deceive ourselves when we fancy
that only weakness needs support, Strength
needs it far more. A straw or a feather sus-
tains itself long in the air.
1t is not good plan after you have
driven nail in a sure place, instead of just
clnching and leaving it, to keep hammering
away till you break the head of or split the
board.
The depths of the soul are labyrinth,
and dark without the torch of religion. Leii
to ourselves, we are. like subterranean wa.
ters--we reflect only the gloomy vault of hui
man destiny.
