some instances the supply Of cider is re-
garded Az essential as the supply OF

facts, II is to be hoped, may awaken

Methodisfs, and lead them to leav. the

Some years ago, when the writer
came West from New Engla nd, he
found in the home Of "a respected and
wealthy relative the barrel of whisky,
and on the sideboard the decanter and
glass, from which parents and children
were expected to drink az regularly as
they took their meals. This was done to
countcract the influence of malaria.

more knowledge, better thought, and a

and evils Of cider.

in one Of those wealthy rural districts
OF New York. In a conversation on
this subject, the gentleman at whose
home ! was visiting made this startling
remark : "The fact is that cider has
w"ll-nigh ruined the young men and
women Of this section Of country. They
are, nearly all, cider drunkards. "
While was presiding elder of Grand

two Others to hold temperance meet

bounds of that district. AT the close Of
the addresses the "pledge" was present

But the Rev. H., IA local preacher ofour
Church, declined td do so. He drank
cider, il did him good it counteractrd
the influence Of malaria, and he must
use it. Near by, and who had listened
to these objections, was "A very nice ap-

Freaks of FOrgetfulness.

OF all the ills to which flesh is heir.
forgetfulness is the one that furnishes the
greatest number of laughable episodes !;
and while many of them are very annoy
ing, the rnirthful feature that is their al
most invariable companion affords GER
tain degree of compensation. Near one
of our Atlantic sea-ports there resides an
old whaling captain commonly known as
Uncle Gurdon. To keep from getting
rusty, he made his home on the river.
bank, where he could keep boat, and fish
or paddle about as much as he liked. The
place was about five miles from the city,
and, as occasion required, Uncle Gurdon
and his wife would journey downward
for the purpose of shopping. Reaching
the city, the horse and wagon would be
left at the water-trough on the Parade,
and each would 60 in different directions,
carrying their bundles to this common re
ceptscle, the first through waiting for the
other. On one of these shopping excur-
sions Uncle Gurdon made several trips
to the wagon, finding each time that
additions had been made to the store of
bundles-a sign that his wife was busy.
Having completed his purchases, he I'M
hitched his horse, and the ferry-boat hav-
ing arrived, climbed into the wagon and
drove on board. While crossing the river
one of his acquaintance stepped up and
asked how he was getting on. DWELL,
I'm getting on nicely, but I'm bothered
just now" "Why, is anything going
wrong ?" Ono, nothing special but l
came down to do some shopping. and I've
forgotten parcel | was to get" and the
old gentleman scratched his head in a
perplexe1 manner. "Well, | wouldn't
worry. You will think of it next time, y
said the neighbor; and the boat having
reached the landing, Uncle Gurdon drove
ashore, and went on toward home. When
nearly halfway there he was met by
another friend, who stopped to have a
chat. " How do you do to-day, Uncle
Gurdon ?" he asked. con- nicely, nicely
though I'm bit worried just now.
"Worried? what about :" Well, you
see, I've been to town shopping, and
there's parcel of some kind that I've

Uncle Gurdon, slapping his knee with

for her." And Uncle Gurdon turned
around, and went back to the ferry for

A Rogue OutWitted.

The following anecdote is related of
MIR. James Sheafe. who years ago was a
leading grocer in Biddeford. 1t appears
that man had purchased some wool of

for, and Mr.. Sheafe had gone to the

from the shelf a heavy white oak cheese.
Instead of appearing suddenly and rebuk-
ing him for the theft, as another would,
and thereby losing his custom forever,
the crafty old gentleman gave the thief
his change as if nothing had happened,
aud then, under pretense of lifting the
bag to lay it on his horse for him, took
hold of it, and exclaimed, why, bless
me, | must have reckoned the weight

the other, staying the hands of Mr. Sheaf-

"I'll take the whole" And this he did,

with great exactness. All this, as he
knew, was copied from his own custom
Besides, he reflected. if he found it so dis
