A Sad Predicanlenf.

A young man writes to know how he shall
extract himself from very delicate situation
in which he has been placed through the CON-
bined influence of his girl, the recent temper
ance crusade and mince pie. The young man
was for many years reckless, rollicktng
blade, and not infreQuently found himself IN
der the influence of liquor. The women'S tenn
perance crusade came along in the nick of time.
however, and he took the pledge, and has since
lived life fun OF contentment and cold water.
Not long ago he fell violently In love with a
very estimable and banged young lady on the
South Side, who returned his affection. and in
short time they were engaged to be married.
Last Sunday night they were sitting together
interchange OF duckey darlings. &C., the con-
versation naturally enough drifted on to mince
pies. the girl saying that she had made some
that very day; while the young man declared
that nothing could give him greater pleasure
than to sample few Of them. While cutting
pie the girl told how she made it, and among
the other ingredients mentioned brandy. The
young man thereupon said that his temperance
principles would not permit him to eat any
such souldestroying brand Of pie, which re-
mark caused the girl to dive violently into the
middle of the sofa, and declare between sobs
the least bit, or he would not make fun of her
pies. No eXpOstulatfonS would satisfy her. and
the unfortunate Good Templar, and lover finally
went away with the understanding that unless
he came next Sunday night prepared to eat
that pie he had better not come at all. He ma

the other hand his temperance friends have ad-

of our readers can steer this man out of his

one Monday morning the sun rose and found

Even in her delirium she knew the day OF the

markable case OF woman living 10 days with

with the halluclnatfon that she has no stomach
which she believes has been rotted away
through the action OF dyspepsia, from which sne

who has been attending Mrs. Tumy, tells the
same story, and says that the woman has been
consuming herself since she stopped eating, and
until week ago was growing rapidly thinner
and weaker; since then, however. he has been
unable to note any appreciate change in her
co.'s :,ous by morphine, which is administered
la pills. The doctor has not expected her to

THE WOLF AMI THE NOTICE

Wolf into the wilderness one day
Bore off a stolen sheep and on the prey
Devour it to the bone upon the spot,
Resolved TIL supper time the rest to keep,
Meanwhile, the smell alured a neighboring Mouse
To creep with cautien from his tiny house.
A particle of meat he silly stole,
Then swiftly sped him back into his hole
Yet, spite Of all his care. the Wolf awoke.
And into cries and lamentations broke
Halle there! Murder! Robbery! Will none
Fetch the Policeg I'm ruined and undone.
Confound these miscreant Mice! o shame and grief,
That any four legged thing should be theft"
