Cherishing an Illusion.

The last tale of mans unfaithfulness
to man, comes from Selma, Alabama.
On the 1st of January, 1871, a syndicate
of young men was formed, one of whom,
the most trustworthy of them all, was
appointed treasurer. They then signed
a temperance pledge and agreed to de
posit on the first day of each month $40
each, to be divided at the end of the
year among those members who re-
mained faithful to their obligation.
One by one they tainted and fell, until
at the expiration of the specified time
there was only one who had not yielded
to the liquid temptation. He repaired
at the hour of noon on New Years
day to the appointed place of
rendezvous, to receive the 81, 440 which
he had so nobly earned. But the other
eleven were not there, so, full of fiery
thirst, he fastened to a neighboring
saloon to take his first nip for twelve
month! He had partiaIly y swallowed it
when ten of his colleagues entered, and
revealed to him the horrifying fact that
his watch was twenty minutes too fast.
He, too, had fallen, and the vision of a
well-flled pocketbook vanished. The
eleven then repaired to the office of the
treasurer, only to learn that he had lost
all the money playing draw-poker with
ono of the church trustees. An effort
is now being made to. keep the sorrow
full story out Of the newspapers. Troy
