with the rest, till at length he discerned
that he had taken one sip too much. He
was a little over the hay.; and on returning
home he could not navigate quite so well
as he wanted to. 13ut though his potations
had made sad work with his physicalsys
tem, his mind was not so-affected-but that
he perfectly 'Understood his situation, nor
were Ids moral sensibilities so_ perverted .
but that he felt itcartily ashamed of him

.dened countenances of his. wife. and daugh

hoW . bitterly - painful to ihe soul it . wasto.
hav a.husband - and a father come hone
drunk. He sat down and mused awhile in
silence. -At length he roused hinikelf front
his stupor, and with a determined tone, de
inaitiled—'Where'S my : inch auger?' . So
strange a question in these circumstances,
only added to :the sorrow of the efflicted
family, and they thought it. best - to let it
pass in:silence - . The-question was soon
repeated in a still more determined tone- -
'Where is my Well auger?' 'What-in the
-world-do-you-want-oc---your--itmitmnOrn,
inquired bis '1 want it,' was
the reply. The inch auger was priduced.
He took it and commenced boring with all
the energy of which he was capable; in his'
:wooden manile4ree.'• The work was - loon'
completed, and ;the chips were!' soon drop
ping from the - further side into the fire.
'l'herei wife,'-said he, 'l,ll drink no more.

•-.There-maa . his :pledge—and-having 'it I

beloved family, the inch auger-hole in the
wooden mantle-tree was undoubtedly the!
most valuable chimney ornament that could

Now, Mr. Flitoi, I would not take the
trouble to reason with a man who ; .on read

,it
Would not have been more virtuous, and
more worthy of a „man, to- have resisted
