SOCIAL WINE DRINKING.

Alta Christian convention a dis
cussion on Temperance brought up
the "wine question" A part of the
clergy advocated its entire disuso
and part took the other side. AT
length an influential clergyman arose
and made vehement argument in
favor of wine, denouncing the radical
reformers for attempting to Danish
this token of hospitality from use.
When he had assumed his seat, a
layman, trembling with emotion,
rose, and asked if it was allowed for
him to speak. The chair having sig.
nifed that he would be heard, he
said:
"Mr. Moderator, it is not my pur.
pose, in rising, to answer the learned
argument you have just listened to.
My object is more humble, and |
hope more practical. ] once knew a
father in moderate circumstances,
who was at much Inconvenience to
educate a beloved son at college.
He, the son, became dissipated; but
after he had graduated and returned
to his father, the influence Of home,
acting upon generous nature, actu.
ally reformed him. The father was
overjoyed at the prospect that cher
ished hopes other of days were still
realized. Several years passed, when
the young man, having completed
his professional study, and being
about to leave his father to establish
himself in business, he was invited
to dine with neighbering clergy.
man, distinguished for hospitality
and social qualities. At this dinner
wire was introduced and offered to
this young man, who refused.
Pressed upon him; again he refused.
This was repeated, and the young
was ridculed fer his singular absti.
nence. The youth was strong enough
to overcome appetite; but he could
not ridicule. He drank and fell, and
from that moment became a con.
firmed drunkard, and long since has
found a drunkard's grave. Mr..
Moderator" continued the old man,
with streaming eyes, 81 am the father;
and it was at the table of the clergy
