RESULTS OF A
TEMPERANCE LECTURE.

New York Times.
Two maiden sisters of mature
years had been to temperance
lecture. To demonstrate the dis
astrous effect Of alcohol upon life,
the lecturer had poured aportion of
whisky into a glass, which contained
water and 4 mass Of lively animal
culae of different unsightly shapes
and sizes. The result of the mixture
was that the shoals of ugly-Iooking
fishes were soon bereft of life and
were seen floating helplessly in the
water
On the way home, when nearing
saloon, one sister remarked to the
other:
..Mary, will you go in and get
some whisky"
"Some whiskyw astonishingly
remarked the other.
''YeS, dear, for l really can never
again drink water with all those
horrible things floating about. I
would rather drink them dead than
alive"
