Coffee for the lnebriat1.

A traveller has made the observation
that coffeedrinking people are very
seldom given to drunkenness. In
Brazil, for instance, where coffee is
grown extensively and all the inhabi-
tants drink It many times a day, in
toxication is rarely seen. The effect
is rot only noticeable among the ma
tiyes, but the foreigner who settles
there, III ough possessed of ever such a
passion for strong drink, gradually

quires the coffee-drinking habit of the

The morning. cane ana Luther Rice
was up bright aud aarIs. My father
and mother pleaded viii him not to
think Of going ollJ. The roads were
well-nigh inpassable, owing to the
great heaps OF snow and the storm
was yet raging and likely to continue
and the heeht OF folly to face the
fierce beating winds and the growing
heaps Of Snow which made travelling
almost an impossibility. My father
said: brother Rice. You cannot pos
sibly reach your appointment, and in
such weather there would be no one to
hear you preach But Luther Rice
replied i must go-theres S no use
to talk about it.
He then asked if he could not get
back to the Charlottesville road with
out going back to Trevilian's S, where
he turned out to come here. Yes"
said my father. Going across my
plantation and Mr.. Crawfords a mile
to the Charlottesville road would save
you three miles. for it is two miles
back to Trevilian's and two miles far
ther UP the Charlottesville road,
hence you would save three miles by
going across the fields, but you would
have to pull down two fences Rice
caught at that and asked: Haven't
you got an oxcart that you would let
me have to break a track in the snow,
and whose driver could pull down and
put up the two fences Of which you
speak?"
That arrangement was finally made.

thinks, and his horse and buggy in
due time reached the main rOa which
leads from Richmond to Charlottes-

few hours later the oXcart return
ed and it's driver reported that no vo-
hicle had gone along the Charlottes-
Vile road, and that there was not so
much as the track of a horses foot in
the great unbroken heaps of snow as
Mr. Rice resumed his journey. Then
It was that my father became so
alarmed thinking that Mr.. Rice might
perish in this attempt to fill his en-
gagement to preach and to raise
money for Columbian college. that he
ordered his horse to be saddled and
rode after him.
On reaching the main road he saw
q man on horseback and inquired Of
him if he had passed a man in a
buggy SsYes." said he, i passed a
man who answers to your description,
and he was leading his horse and
breaking a nath for bin in the snow,
and seemed to be very happy in doing
so. o.'-The Rev. Dr. A. e. Dickinson in
