A GIFT FROM THE DEITY.

The veneratiOn in which the Natives Of
India Formerly Held the Precious
Fluid.
Very sad accounts we're sent in from
India Of the havoc which rum is maxi
ing among the native population. DR..
Pringle. for many years connected with
the British army in India. said some
strong things on this point He de-
scribed the inhabitants of India, before
the avaricious liquor dealers of En-.
gland sent In rum, as q nation OF teeto-
talers. They looked upon water as q
special gift from the Deity. The word
which they use to designate intoxicat-
ing liquor signifies ''shame water"
He gave legend which beautifully IL.
illustrates that passage in Isaiah:
Therefore with joy shall ye draw
waters from the wells Of salvation" A
poor man lay dying of thirst by the
waysidc, while in the field near by a
husbandman was drawing water quiet
ly and scattering it ON his seeds and
plants. When the Deity learned what
the poor man had suffered. he ordained
that hereafter when any one draws
water he must sing, that all who
thirsted might know that there was
water. He told also of rich Hindoo
who left in his will a sum sufficient to
dig and otherwise prepare five hundred
wells along highway one thousand
miles in length, that as the people
travelled that way none might suffer
from thirst. When an English COM
pany wanted the right to build rail.
way all that was asked was that the
company should furnish water free to all
travellers, putting at each station lad
with cup and pail, saying, as he
walked about among the passengers:
