Why SAM DIDN'T MARRY.-A yankee
calling himself Sam Hopeful" who has writ
ten some very good things, tells right out in
meeting" why he never married after three
attempts. He says:
81 once courted a gal by name of Deb
Hawkins. made up my mind to get mar
ried. Well, while we were going to the dea-
cons stepped into mud puddle and spat-
tered the mud over Deb's new gown made out
of her grandmother's old chintz petticoat.
When we got to the deacon's he asked Deb if
she would take me for her lawful welded hus-
band. "No" says she. "Reason," says I.
"Why," says she, II have taken misliken to
you."
Well, it was all up then, but gave her a
string of beads, few kisses and some other
notions, and made it all up with her. So we
went up to the deacon's second time. was
bound to get even with her this time, so when
the deacon asked me if would take her for
my welded wife + says "No, 1 should do no
such a thing" "Why," says Deb, "what on
the airth is the matter now?" "Why," says I,
81 have taken a misliken to you.'
"Well,it was all over again, but gave her
new apron and few other trinkets, and we
went upagain to get married. We expected
that we would be tied so fast that all natur
couldn't separate US; ; but when we asked the
deacon ifhe would marry US he said, mo, I
shan't do no such thing" "Why, what on
the airth is the reason?" says we "Why,"
says he "I've taken mislken to both of YOU u
Deb burst out crying, the deacon burst out
scolding, and I burst out laughing, and such
set of busters you never did see; and that is
the reason I never got married. My chance
has gone.

SWALLOWING FIFTEEN COWS.

"Swallowed fifteen cows" said Bertie, in
establishment, looking up from her play. Her
ears had caught the words in conversation
that was going on in the room.
EYES," answered her brother. "He drank
them all up"
"Drank fifteen COWS! I don't believe it, u
answered the little maiden, firmly.
"Hesold them and bought whisky and beer
with the money" explained her aunt Katy.
"Oh, oh, that was it. l see now. Well, it
is funny"
"No, not funny, dear, but sad," said aunt
Katy. "The man had a wife and two little
children, and he sold the milk from the fifteen
COWS and bought them food and clothing
But now, having swallowed the COWS, as we
we're saying, his wife and children 90 hungry
and cold, and he, q poor miserable drunkard
is in the alms-house. Isn't it dreadful to think
Off"
The children looked very sober.
"Youll never catch me drinking up fifteen
COWS, nor one either, said George very posi-.
lively.
81 don't know as to that" replied aunt Kate.
"The man we were talking about was once a
little boy like you, with a healthy taste for
food and clear cold water. AS to ever swal-
lowing cow, much more fifteen COWS, such a
thing never entered his head. But you see
what he came to be at last. How was it ?
He began by taking glass Of ale or beer, or
little wine at parties now and then. This
corrupted his pure taste and gave him an un.
natural thirst which only strong drink could
satisfy. After ale and beer came whisky,
rum and brandy; and the more and oftener
he drank the more his thirst increased, until
he became poor, miserable drunkard.
So you see, George, that no man can tell
what he may come to. Maybe, instead of
swallowing fifteen COWS, you will get down,
one Of these days after you become man,
forty or fifty cows, and a house into the bar
gain"
"Now, aunty, this is too bad!" exclaimed
George. "You know will not"
$50 hundreds and thousands Of little boys
might cnce have said, who, now that they
are grown to be men, are drunkards There
is only one way of safety"
"What is that, aunty," asked the boy, look
ing up with serious eyes.
"It is the way of total abstinence, as we call
1.-THE only way of safety for boys or men.
If you never drink drop of intoxicating
liquor you will never be drunkard. If you
depart from this rule no man can say to
how low depth of wretchedness and degra-
dation you may fall. The worst drunkard in
the land was once pure and innocent boy"
"I'll never swallow even calfV exclaim-
ed George, starting up and speaking with
great earnestness.
"Touch not, taste not, handle not, the un.
clean thing" said aunt Kate, "and all will
be we'll with you. But indulge ever so little
in drinking as you grow to manhood, and
none can tell into what great deep of hope
less ruin you may fall"
