A Good Temperance Story.

From Ohio comes capital temperance
story. Judge Quay, the temperance lee.
4urer, in one Of his efforts there, got Oh
the following:
Gan those who in nyouth acquire habit
of drinking whiskey, at forty years Will
be total abstainers or drunkards. No one
can use whiskey for years in moderation.
Ii there i, a person in the audience before
me whose experience disputes this, let him
make it known. / Will account for 1t, oI
acknowledge thai | am mistaken.
A tall, large man arose. and folding ms
Arms in q digniied manner across his
breast, said:
81 offer myself as one whose own e1'
perience contradicts your statement.
care you q moderate drinker :, asked
the Judge.
"I am"
"How long have you drank in modera-
toni
"Forty years"
"And you we're never intoxicated Z
"Never."
"Well," remarked the Judge, scanning
his subject close from head to foot, "yours
il singular case, yet think it is easily
accounted for. am reminded by 1t OF a
little story. A nego man, with loaf Of
br, . and q flask of whiskey, SIT down to
dine by the bank of a clear stream. In
breaking the bread, some Of the crumbs
dropped into the water. These W, We're
eagerly seized and eaten by the fish. That
circumstance suggested to the darkey the
idea of dipping the bread in the whisky
and feeding it to them. He tried it; 1t
worked well. Some OF the fish ale it, be-
came drunk, andlay helpless on the water.
By this stroke of strategy he caught a
great number. But in the stream was a
large fish very unlike the rest. He par,
took freely of the bread and whiskey, but
with no perceptible effect ; he was shy
of every ofFort of the darkey to take it.
"He resolved TO have it at all hazards,
that he might learn it's name and nature.
He procured a net, and after much effort
caught it, carried it to negro nei:;hbor,
and asked his opinion of the matter. The
other surveyed the wonder for moment
and then said, " Sambo, | understand di:
case. Dat fish is q mullet head, it hahn
got any brains"
In other words" added tie Judge
"alcohol affects only tie brain. and %
course those having none may drink with
out injury Z"
The storm Of laughter that followed
drove the moderate drinker suddenly from
the house.

GENUINE HONESTY. - Some men are
honest because they dare not be otherwise.
The man who is honest when honesty is
the best policy is not really an honest
man. Honesty is not swervins policy.
but stable principle. An honest man is
honest from his soul, nor designs to stoop
to meanness, though great results hang
on the petty fraud.
