An Effective Temperance
Lecture.

"What will you drink ?" asked wait
er of young lad, who for the first time
accompanied his father to public dinner.
Uncertain what to say, and feeling sure
that he could not be wrong if he followed
his fathers example, he replied, ''I'll take
what father takes.''
The answer reached the fathers ear,
and instantly the full responsibility of his
position flashed upon him. And the fa-
ther shuddered as the history Of several
young men, once as promising as his own
bright lad, and ruined by drink, started
up in solemn warning before him. Should
his hope be blasted, and that open-face
boy become burdenl But for strong
drink they would have been active, earn
est, prosperous men and if it could work
such ruin upon them, was his own son

Elephants Revenge and Grat~
itude.

The elephant, with sort of humoro1s
justice, is given to return injuries or In
suits in kind. In Madagascar, an ele-
plants cornac, happening to have cocoa
nut in his hand thought fit, out of brava-
do, to break it on the animals head. The
elephant made no protest at the time; but
next day, passing fruit stand, he took d
cocoa nut in his trunk and returned the
cornac's compliment 80 vigorously on the
head that he killed him on the spot.
If vindictive, the elephant is also grate-
full. At Pondicherry, soldier who treat
ed an elephant to a dram Of arrack every
time he received his pay, found himself
the worst for liquor. When the guard
were about to carry him off to prison, he
took refuge under the elephant and fell
asleep. His protector would let no one
appear, and watched him carefully all
night. In the morning, after caressing
with his trunk, he dismissed him to settls
with the authorities as best he could.
Both revenge and gratitude imply in
telligence; still more does the application
of an unforeseen expedient. A train of
