“ Easy enough,” .said James. “ Intoxicatinn was
the worst part of a whiskey drinking habit; but it
was not the only bad part. It spent time, and spent
what well managed lime always gives, money.—
Now, though they say—mind, I’m not quite 'sure
about it, for they ma^j put things in it they don’t \pcrance cordial at ho
own to, and your eyes look brighter, and your cheek pie prosperity by
more flushed than if you had been drinking nothinnr
stronger than milk or water—but they do say that
ginger cordials, and ail kinds of cordials, do not in
toxicate. 1 will grant this; but you cannot deny
that they waste both time and money.”
“Oh, brother!” exclaimed Andrew, “I only
went with two or three other boys to have a glass,
and I don’t think we spent more than a half an hour
—not three quarters, certainly, and there’s no great
larm in laying out a penny or two pence that way,
now and again.”
“ Hal fan hour even, breaks a day,” said James,
‘and what is worse, it unsettles the mind for work ;
and we ought to be very careful of any return to
old habit, that has destroyed many of us, body and
soul, and made the name of an Irishman a by-word
and'a reproach, instead of a glory and honor. A

NORTH C^ftlOLlNA:
Charlotte,
A very heavy shadow passed over James’ face,
for he saw that there must have been somethin^
hotter than even ginger in the ‘ temperance cordial,’ as
It is falsely called, that Andrew had taken, or else
he would have endeavored to redeem lost time, not
to waste more; and he thought how much better the
real temperance cordial was, that instead of exciting
the brain, only warms the heart, °
“ No,” he replied after a pause, •• I must go and
finish what I was about; but this evening at seven
o’clock meet me at the end of our lane, and then I’ll
be very happy of your company.”
Andrew was sorely puzzled to discover what
James’ cordial could be, and was forced to confess
in himself that he hoped it would be different from
what he had taken that afternoon, which certainly
had made him feel confused and inactive.
At the appointed hour the friends met in the lane.
“ Which way do we go ?” inquired Andrew.
“Home,” was James’ reply.
Oh, you take it at home?” said Andrev.'.
“ I make it at home,” answered James.
“ Well,” observed Andrew, “ that’s very good of

‘•And do you bottle it or keep it on draught

dial’ question.
James laughed very heartily at thi?, and answer
ed,
• “ Oh, I keep mine on draught—always on
draught, there’s nothing like having plenty of a
