A favorite temperance lecturer down South used to relate the following anecdote to illustrate the influence of a bad example in the formation of habits, ruinous in their effect: Adam, and Mary, his wife, were very good members of the church, good sort of folks any way, quite industrious and thriving in the world. Whenever the minister called to make Mary,a visit, which was often, she contrived to have a glass of good toddy made, and the minister never refused to imbibe. After a while Adam got to following the example of the minister to such an extent that he became a drunkard?drank up everything he had and all he could get. Mary and Adam became very poor in consequence of his following the minister's example so closely, but the good minister continued, still to get his glass of toddy. One <1. y lie called in and told Mary he was going away for a. week?should return on Friday?and handed her a book containing the catechism, and told her when he returned he should expect her to answer the questions. Mary said yes, and laid awn}* the hook car fully. But Mary, like a good many others, forgot it until the very Friday lm + -flirt ivnnil m:r?:efrtv \V??C in Vn Hill L UH/ 1JUHI47 1V. I "??
