A Monkeys Sense VS.. n DrunlSard's.
The story goes that an Italian showmlu
once had monkey that rode on tho back
of hound while four dogs dancel. One
lay the little show was passing through "a
park where there were some deer. The
1ound saw them, aud, tcue to hisinstinct,
le tore after them. Poor Mr.. Monkey was
chained to his collar, so he had to go aoug,
much ms he wished not to. Hs chattere1
md screamed, but all in vain. The hound
Kept up the chase until tho Snowman
dnally succeeded in stopping him and took
:hc frightened monkey OF his back. No
,oaxlng or threatening could ever induce
:he monkey to get on that dogs back
again.
Compare, now, this MONKEYS conduct
Tith the conduct of the man who is being
:utned by strong drink. He gets drunk,
'obers off, regrets his having been so
oeastly. vows he will drink no more, and
chen goes back to his cups again.
Truly, Sam Jones was right when he said
that. considering how some men behave,
:he Darwinian doctrine OF evolution Is a
terrible reflection on the monkey.
We once read OF monkey on board a
ihip that the sailors induced to drink
whisky until he became very drunk; but
after he had sobered OF, when they brought
put the bottle again lie instantly skipped
,way to the very top OF the mast, and
could not be induced to come down as long
Is the bottle was In sight. Would that
nen and boys had as much sense in this
'esard as monkeys.-Religious Telescope.
