His forehead became moist and iiis throat dry, as he followed tlie plow iicross the field. Over in the corner where the bushes cast a shade lie had [)l;u*ed a jug full of a drink that never tailed him when thirsty. He drank from it several times during the day. On the other side of the fence a young nuui was lying on the ground in the shnde. He had been asleep. Ilis eyes were red; he looked w retched. He was thirsty. He awoke just as Farmer Wel- den left his liorses and went over to I lie corner near where he was lying He saw him lift his jug to his lips and take froni it long draughts. It made the young man feel still more thirsty to see the farmer enjoy his drink, lie jumped up q.iickly and shouted: “Hallo! What have you got there to-d rink ?” The farmer turned quicklj’, meeting the ej’es of the young man eagerly fixed upon him and his jug. He felt sure however, that the drink that satisfied ' Mix':."-fa - This is why 1 would not drink with you.” All present admired the man’s self- control and learned a striking lesson on the danger of putting temptation in a orother’s w'ay.—The Quiver.

Never drink, never drunk. Swim in sin, sink in sorrow. Duties are ours, events are God’s. There is no evil without ti remedy. Two glasses t)f beer are two too many. Look l)efore you leap, the diteh nuiy be deep. Beer is never as flat as those who drink it. A drunken night makes a cloudy morning. Saloons are toll-gates on the waj' to perdition. What soberness conceals drunken ness reveals. Wine smiles in the cup, but stings in the conscience. Often drunk, never sober, falls like leaves in October. Drunkenness is midnight, moderation is twilight, abstinence is daylight.

A man who lately came over from America told the writer that on board the steamer one of the passengers went lip to another in the smoking-room and asked him to have a drink with him. The man thus invited continued read ing a newspaper and made no reply. The other man again asked him to irink with him. No answer again. A third invitation was then given in these words: “Sir, I have asked yoxi in as friendly a w ay as possible to drink with me, and each time you went on with your read ing, and had not the civility to answer !iie. Now I ask yoti for the third tiinr if you will drink wine, whisky, or any thing else with me?” The man then i>ut aside his paper and answered quietly: “Do you see that glass, sir? Well, if 1 were to take even a quarter of it, I could not leave off un til 1 had drank all the liquor on board. IT IS ONLY PUKE ADAM’S ALE. him would not satisfy the younger man. He beamed upon his visitor a kindly smile as he rej)lied: “OhI it is nothing that will hurt man or beast, 1 assure you, if it is in a jug. it is only ptire Adam's ale, brewed this morning under the elms you see over yonder. Wiil you have a i)ull?” Then he rested tiie jug uf)on the fence, and the young man drank as if he was l)urning with thirst. When he had linished the fanner said to him: “You’d better drink more of this kilnd if ale. young man, and less of ’tother, li;i(in’t you?” “Yes, sir, 1 had,” was his reply. “1 wish with r.ll my heart that I had never tasted anything stronger.” “Well, then, young man, take an old man's advice, and stc>p at onee. I e.'xn drink as nuich as 1 {ileaseof my Adam’s ale and feel none the worse for it. In stead. it frcsl'.e.ns me up, ajid nuikt'S me strong and steady for work. 1 reckon you eannot say the same of j'ours.” “No. sir, 1 cannot. J am wretched this morning.” “Yes, 1 see you are.” After a few more kind words and good advice, which were listened to be- t!ause given so kindly, the older man swung down the jug into the shade, gathered up the reins and said to his horses: “Come, lads, get up! Go ’long there, Hill I What are j'ou about there, Doll, old girl? W’e must be after them this tles lively.” His advice is just as good for us as it was for the young man.
