TEMPERANCE.
(From the American Messenger.]
“Touch Not, Taste Not.”
The late Governor Briggs, of Mas
sachusetts, was a well known and able
advocate of “total abstinence from all
intoxicating drinks.” Jlp told me
that ho was once accosted by a lady
at a large and fashionable party, who
said, as Ife declined a glass of wine:
“Really, Governor Bnggs, I think
you a little fanatical on this subject.
What possible harm can a glass of
wine do, taken at parties and wed
dings, with one's friends?”
Governor Briggs replied, “If you
will go by yourself in some corner
here, and spend half an hour thinking
over the families of your acquaintanc
es and friends, and count the number
of victims to intemperance in each
family, and can then come back tome
and say you think me fanatical in try
ing to avoid so great a danger for my
self, ami doing ail I can to keep oth
ers from an end so common ancj so
dreadful. I will take tyjijg with you,
if you wish me to do so, for I know
you are q, Reasonable wqnjan ; but I
feel very sure that you will comeback
agreeing with me that. 5‘ touch not,
taste not,” is the only safe rule.”
She replied, lauglung, “Ofcourse
I'll do it, or anything else that you
request, but don’t expect me to be
converted; for you radical reformers
always exaggerate dangers.
She went, arid in half an hour re
turned, pale, her eyes filled with tears,
exclaiming: “Oh, Governor Briggs,
how could you ask me tP do such a
thing at a party? lam appalled; it
is so dreadful to find that I do not
know a family that does not number
one victim, and some have had all
their brightest and best fall by it—
fathers, husbands, children ; it is too
dreadful to think of. I would not
have believed it. Yon arc quite right,
and I will never ask you to drink
wine, nor ever call you fanatical for
not taking it."
Let any one think over the victims :
of intemperance he has known, and he
will be convinced that Infinite Wis
dom wrote this warning, “ Look not
thou upon the wine when it is red,
when it giveth its color in the cup,
when it moveth itself aright. At the
last it bitelh like a serpent, and s4ug
etli like an adder.”
While I write this. I remember that
my father, the late Major B——, who
was also a warm advocate of “ total
abstinence,” told me about a dfinierha
once topji with Judge a man of
uncommon ability, and a?J that time
honored and esteemed. There was a
decanter of wine on the table, and
when Major B declined it, saving,
“ I am a believer in the “ total absti
nence rule,” the judge replied. “How
can a man of your sense and modera
tion adopt such an extreme opinion ?
One glass of wine a day never hurt
anybody yet, and never \yill;” and he
drank his “one glass,” and so did
each of his three noble, promising
sons who sat wit!) Rim at the fable, —
My father’s years were not prolonged
to threescore; but long before he
died Judge and his three sous had
gone down to that grave over which
our heavenly Father has written, “No
drunkard shall inherit the kingdom of
God.”
To be saved for reference. —W e pver
ent below a table carefully compiled by
an accomplished statistician, who has re
vised and revised it until there can bo
no possible doubt of its perfect correct
ness. It points a moral and is worthy
the deliberate consideration of all who
come u der its bpad.—Draw your infer
ense frqjn it, young men. Calculate it as
you please but you cannot falsify it in
any.particular, unless, take as exceptions,
which by the way only proves thp rule,
members of congross. Here it is :
Ten loafers make one grog shop.
One grog shop makes fifty drunkards.
Fifty drunkards ruins fifty families.
• Fifty families fill one poor house un<f

One poor house and jail mates one
great bill of costs.
Oue great bill of cpsts make one poor
town.
One poor town drains the country
treasury.
One bankrupt treasury is a great Stsis

One great State tax exhausts the na

Two looks"make one wish.
Two wishes make one call.
Two calls make one invitation.
Three invitations make one dram.
Four drams make one non scruple.

Lilly and Fred were playing,
at house keeping, with a family of '

saving :
“ Now you must stay in your room
half an hour.”
“ You better 'pank jt, Lilly,” said
li*tie Fred, “’cause she can't

“Mr. Jones, have you not a match ?”
“Y r es, sir, a match for the devil; there

4 “ greene un” who had never before

marked, “I am no prophet.” “True,”
replied a lady present, “no profit to your
