AN "EFFECTUAL TEMPERANCE LECTURE" /"
A young man called, in company with sew.
eral other gentleman, upon young lady.
Her father was also present, to assist in enter.
tanning the callers. He did not share his
daughters scruples against the use of spiritu-
Gus drinks, for he had wine to offer. The
wine was poured out, and would have been
drank, but the young lady asked,
"Did you call upon me, or upon papa?"
Gallantry, if nothing else, compelled them
to answer, "We called upon you"
"Then you will please not drink wine; I
have lemonade for my callers"
The father urged the guests to drink, and
they were undecided.
The young lady added, Remember, if
you call upon me, then you drink lemonade /;
but if upon papa, why, in that case l have
nothing to say" The wine.glasses were set
down with their contents untasted.
After leaving the house, one of the party
exclaimed: THAT is the most effectual tenn.
peraHce lecture | have ever heard"
The young man from whom these facts
were obtained, broke off at once from the use
of strong drink, and is now clergy man,
preaching temperance and religion. He still
holds in grateful remembrance the lady who
gracefully and resolutely gave him to under
stand that her callers should not drink wine.
RICH WITHOUT MoNEY.-Many man is
rich without money. Thousands of men with
nothing in their pocket, are rich. A man
with good, sound constitution. good stom-
ach, q good heart and good limbs, and pret.
ty good head.piec is rich. Good bones are
better than gold-tough muscles than silver,
and nerves that fash fire and carry energy to
ever function, are better than houses and
lands.
1t is better than landed estate to have
had the right kind of father and mother
Good breeds and bad breeds exist among
men as really as among herds and horses.
Education may do much to check evil ten
dencies, or to develop good ones; but it is q
great thing to inherit the right proportion of
faculties to start with.
The man is rich who has good disposi-
tion-who is naturally kind, patient, cheerful,
hopeful, and who has flavor of wit and fun
in his composition. The hardest thing to get
along with in this life is mans own self.
A cross, selfish fellow, a desponding and com.
planning fellow, timid, care. e.burdened man
these are all born deformed on the inside.
Their feet may not limp, but their thoughts
do.
