[CORRECT PRINCIPLES-SUPPORTED BY TRUTII.j
HUNTINGDON, PA., TUESDAY, MARCH 14, 1848.
A TIPSY PARSON,
BY T. 8. ARTHUR.
IN a village norn hundred miles from
Philadelphia, resided the Rev. Mr. Man
lius, who lad the pastorial charge of a
very respectable congregation, and was
highly esteemed by them ; but there
was one thing in which he did not give
general satisfaction, and in conse
quence of which many .excellent mem
bers of his church felt seriously scan
dalized. He would neither join a tem
perance society, nor omit his glass of
wine when he felt inclined to take it.—
It is only fair to say, however, that such
spirituous indulgences were not of fre
quent occurence. It was more the prin
ciple of the thing, as he said, that he
stood upon, than anything else, that
prevented his signing a temperance
pledge.
Sundry were the attacks, both open
an secret, to which the Reverend Mr.
Manlius was subjected, and many were
the discussions into which lin was drawn
by the advocates of total abstinence.
His mode of argument was very summa
ry,
“I would no more sign a pledge not •
to drink brandy than I would not to
steal," was the position he took. "I wish
to be free to choose good or evil, and to' .
act right because it is wrong to do oth
erwise. Ido not find fault with others
for signing a pledge, nor for abstaining
from wine. If they think it right it is
right for them. Bit as for myself, I
would cut off my right band before I
would bind myself by mere external res
traint. My bonds are internal priori
pies. lam temperate because intern
peruses is sin. For men who have abu
t sed their freedom, and so far lost all ra
tional control over themselves that they
cannot resist the insane spirit of intem
perance, the pledge is all important.—
, Sign it, 1 Say, in the name of Heaven;
1 but do not sign it because this, that or
I the other temperate man has signed it,
but because you feel it to be your only
hope. Do it for yourself, and do it as if
you are the only man in the world who
nets thus. To sign because another man
whom you think more . respectable, has
signed, will give you little or no
strength. You must do it for yourself,
and because it is right."
The parson was pretty ready with his
tongue, and rarely came off second best
when his opponents dragged him into
controversy, although his arguments
were called by them, when he was not
present, "mere fustain."
"His love for wine and brandy is at
the bottom of all this hostility to the
temperance cause," was boldly said of
him by individuals in and out of his
church. But especially were the mem
bers anther churches severe upon him.
"He'll turn out a drunkard," said
ohd.
"I shouldn't be surprised to see him
staggering in the streets before two
years," said another.
"Ele does more harm to the temper
ance cause than ten drunkards," alleged
a third.
- While others—" Isn't it standalous!"
"He's a disgrace to his profession !"
"He pretend to have religion !"
"A minister, indeed !"
And so the changes rang.
All this time Mr. Manlius firmly main
tained his ground, taking his glass of
wine whenever it suited hint. At last
after the occurrence of a dinner-party
given by a family of sonic note in the
place, at which the minister was pres
ent, and at which wine wns circulated
freely, a rather scandalous report got
abroad, and soon went a buzzing nll
over the village. A young man who
made no secret of being fond of Eis glass,
and who was at this dinner-party, met,
on the day after, a very warm advocate
of temperance, and a member ota differ
ent denomination frotn that in which Mr.
Manlius was a minister, and said to him,
with mock gravity—. We had a rara
avis at our dinner party yesterday, Per•
• Indeed, What wonderful thing was
that 1"
"A tipsy parson."
"A what V'
The man's eyes became instantly al
most as big as saucers.
~ A tipsy parson V'
4 , Who 1 Mr. Manliusl" was eagerly
inquired.
"I didn't say so. I call no names."
"He was present, I know; and drank
wine, I sin told, like a fish."
. _ .
- 4 wasn't aware before that fishes
drank wine," said the man, gravely.
I , It was Manlius, wasn't it V' urged
the other,
"I call no names," Was repeated.—
`All I said was, that we had a tipsy
parson—and so we had. I'll prove it
Loforn a jury of a thousand, if neces
sary.,
"It's no more than I expected," said
the . ..temporance man. " He's a mere
winebibber at beet. He pretend to preach
the Gospel ! I wonder he isn't struck
dead in the pulpit."
The moment his informant had left
him, Perkins started forth to communi
cate the astounding intelligence that
Mr. Manlius had been drunk on the day
before, at Mr. Reeside's dinner-party.—
From lip to lip the scandal flew, with
little less than electric quickness. It
was ull over the village by the next day.
Some doubted, some denied, but the
majority believed the story—it was so
likely to be true.
This occurred near the close of the
week, and Sunday arrived before the
powers that be in the church were able
to confer upon the subject, and cite the
minister to appear and answer for him
self on the scandalous charge of drunk
enness. There was an unusual number
of vacant pews during service, both
morning and afternoon.
Monday came, and early in the day a
committee of two deacons waited upon
Mr. Manlius, and informed him of the
report in circulation, and of their wish
thot he would appear on the heat after
boon to give an account of himself, as
the church deemed the matter far too
serious to be passed lightly over. The
minister was evidently a good deal sur
prised and startled at this, but he neither
denied the charge nor attempted any
palliation, merely saying that he would
attend of course.
g , It's plain that he's guilty," said Dea
con Jones to Deacon Todd, as they walk ,
ed with sober faces away from the min
ister's dwellinn._
"Plain Yes—it's written in his
face," returned Deacon Todd. .So much
for opposing temperance reforms and
drinking wine. It's a judgment upon
him."
But what a scandal to our church,"
Deacon Jones.
4 , Yes—think of that. He must be
suspended, and not restored until he
signs the pledge.
I don't believe he'll ever do that."
Why not 1"
He says he would cut off his right
hand first . ."
' , People are very fond of cutting off
their right hand, you know. My word
for it, this will do the business for him.
He will be glad enough to get the mat
ter htMed up so easily, I shall go for
suspending him until he signs the pledge.
"I don't know but that! will go with
you If he signs the pledge he is safe."
And so the two deacons settled the
matter.
On the next day, in grave council as
sembled, were all the deacons of the
church, besides sundry individuals who
had come as the minister's friends or
accusers. Perkins, who had put the re
port in circulation, was there at the
special request of one of the deacons,
who had ascertained that he had as much,
or a little more to say in the matter than
any one.
Perkins was called upoh, rather unex
pectedly, to answer one or two questions,
immediately on the opening of the mee
ting, but as he was a staunch temperance
man, and cordially despised the minister,
he was bold to reply.
"Mr. Perkins," said the presiding dea
con, as far as we can learn, this scan
dalous charge originated with you ; I
will, therefore, ask you—did you say
that the Rev. Mr. Manlins wns drunk at
Mr. Reesides dinner-party 1"
"I did," was the unhesitating answer.
" Were you present at Mr. Reesidesl"
" No, sir."
"Did you see Mr. Manlius coining
from the house intoxicatedl"
" No."
" What evidence, then, have) you of
the truth of your charge 1 We have con
versed this morning with several who
were present, and all say that they ob
served nothing out of the way on the
occasion of which you speak. This is
a serious matter, and we should like to
have your authority for a statement so
injurious to the reputation of the minis
ter and the cause of religion."
"My authority is Mr. Burton, who
was present."
"Did he tell you that Mr. Manlius
was intoxicated 1"
" He said there was a drunken minis
ter there, and Mr. Manlius, 1 have ascer
tained, was the only clergyman pres
ent."
" Was that so 1" asked the deacon of
an individual who was at Mr .Reeside's.
"Mr. Manlius was the only clergyman
there," was replied.
"Then," said Perkins, " if there was
a drunken minister there, it must have
been Mr. Manlius. I can draw no other
inference."
g , Can Mr. Burton be found I ft was
now asked.
An individual immediately volunteer
ed to go in search of him. In half an
hour he was produced. As he entered
the grave nssetnhly, lie looked around
with great composure upon the array of
solemn faces and eyes intently fixed
upon him. He did not appear in the
least abashed..
"Yon were at Mr. Reeside's last week,
at a dinner-party, I believe 1" said the
presiding deacon.
I was."
"Did you see Mr. Manlius intoxica
ted on that occasion Vs
" Mr. Manlius! Good Beavens ! no!
I can testify, upon oath, that he was as
solemn as a judge. Who says that I
made so scandalous an allegation 1"
Burton appeared to grow strongly ex•
cited.
"I say," cried Perkins, ifi a loud
voice.
" You say so 1 And, pray, upon what
authority 1"
"Upon the authority of your owh
words."
"Never !"
"But you did tell me so."
Perkins was much excited.
"When?"
On the day after the dinncr•party.—
Don't you remember what you said to
me."
"Oh, yes—perfectly."
" That you had a drunken minister at
dinner I"
" No, I never said that."
"But you did; lean be qualified to it."
" I said we had a ' tipsy parson.' "
"And, pray, what is the difference 1".
At the words 4 ' tipsy parson," the
minister burst into a laugh and so did
two or three others who had been at
Mr. Reeside's. The grave deacon in the
chair looked around with frowning won
der at such indecorum, and felt that es
pecially ill-timed was the levity of the
minister,
" 1 do not understand this," he said,
with great gravity.
"I can explain it, remarked an indi ,
vidual, rising, "us I happened to be at
Mr. Rceside's, and know all about the
tipsy parson.' The cook of our kind
hostess, in her culinary ingenuity, fur
nished the table with a dessert which
she culled tipsy parson'—made, I be
lieve, by soaking sponge duke in brandy
and pouring a custard over it. it is
therefore true, as our friend Burton has
said, that there was a tipsy parson' at
the table, but as to the drunken minister
of Mr. Perkins I know nothing."
'Never before, in a grave and solemn
assembly of deacons, was there such a
I sudden and universal burst of laughter,
such a holding of sides and vibration of
bodies,
as followed this unexpected
speech. In the midst of the confusion
and noise, Perkins quietly retired. He
has been known, ever since, in the vil
lage, much to his chagrin and scandali
zat ion, ho being still a warm temperance
man, as the " tipsy parson."
" There goes the tipsy parson,' " lie
hears said, as lie passes along the street,
a dozen times in a week, and he is now
seriously inclined to leave the village in
order to escape the ridicule his over
zealous effort to blast the minister's
reputation has called into existence.—
As for the Rev. Mr. Manlius, he often
tells the story, and laughs over it as
heartily as any one.
MECHANICS' WIVES,
Speaking of the middle ranks of life,
a good writer observes There we
behold woman in her glory ; not a doll
to carry silks and jewels ; not a puppet
to be flattered by profane adoration—
reverenced to-day and discarded to-mor
row ; always jostled out of the place
which nature and society would assign
her, by sensuality or c,,atempt; admi
red but not respected; desired but not
esteemed ; ruling by passion, not affec
tion imparting her weakness not her
constancy, to the sex she should exalt ;
the source and mirror of vanity ; we see
her a wife, partaking the cares, and
cheering the anxiety of a husband, divi ,
ding his toils by her domestic diligence,
:Treading cheerfulness around her; for
his sake sharing the decent refinements
of the world, without being vain of
them, placing all her joys and happi
ness in the man she loves. As a moth
er we find her the affectionate and ar
dent instructress of the children whom
she has tended from their infancy, train
ing them to thought and benevolence;
addressing them as rational beings;
preparing them to become men and wo
men in their turn. Mechanic's daugh
ters make the best wives in the world,"
Ton celebrated Ezra t)oolittle, says
that a pretty gal is enough to make a
feller forsake father and mother; twist
himself right up into a double:breasted
molasses doughnut; and have warts on
his disposition as large as pertater bulls.
The above was taken front the Mil
ford (N. H.) Mirror. The editor propo
ses the following rather salty question
for debating societies.
"How much molasses will it take to
sweeten the Atlantic ocean, so as to
make it palatable?

THE BULL AND THE TAILoa.,—A few
years ago, a man who lived at Allentai,
near Liverpool, by trade a tailor, but
who could occasionally handle his fiid
dle as well ns his needle, on his way
home from where he had been exerci
sing his musical talents in entertaining
his country neighbors, on passing
through a field, about three o'clock in
the morning, in the month of June, was
attacked by a 1).411. After several at
tempts to escape, he attempted to as- .
eend a tree ; not, however, succeeding
in the effort, a momentary impulse di
rected him to pull out his fiddle, and
fortifying himself against the tree as
well as he could, began to play upon it,
by Which the enraged animal became
totally disarmed of his ferocity, and
seemed to listen with great attention to
the affrighted tailor: Finding his fierce
and formidable enemy so touch appeas
ed, lie began to think of making his es=
cape, left off playing, and was moving
forward. This, however, the bull would
not suffer, for no sooner had the tailor
ceased his fascinating strains, than the
hull's anger appeared to return as vio
lently as at first. He was therefore
glad to have recourse a second time to
his fiddle, which instantly operated
again as a magic charm upon the thin.:
ged animal, who became as composed
and as attentive a listener as before.—
He afterwards made several other at
tempts to escape, but all in vain, for no
sooner did he stop his music than the
bull's anger returned, so that lie wad
compelled to keep fiddling away till
near six o'clock, when some one of the
family came to fetch in the cows, by
which he was relieved from a tiresome
labor and frightful situation.
This is is perhaps, the first man on rec
ord who may be really said to have fid ,
died for his life, and who so truly fulfill
ed the poet's idea, that " music bath
charms to soothe the savage breast."---
It is proper, and further; curious, to ob
eerve that this man lodged nt the farm
house where the bull was kept ; and that
as he frequently played upon the fiddle
of an evening, to amuse the family, ho
had observed the bull, who always at ,
tended the cows borne to be milked ;
constantly endeavoring to get as near
as possible to that part of the house
where he happened to be playing, and
always appeared to listen with the great
est attention, which fortunately struck
the tailor with the idea of having re
course to his fiddle, and in all probabil
ity saved his life.
TIAIE OCCUPIED IN EATING DURING ONES
LIFE.—We were philosophical the other
day, as we lazily sat at the dinner table,
reluctant to leave the nice things spread
out on the board before us. Our good
angel suddenly appeared behind our
chair, and bade us reflect upon the
amount of time, in a human life, spent
in eating. Knife and fork were instant.;
ly adjusted on our etnpty p)ate, and the
plate itse•f pushed to the centre of the
table, and thus we runiinated : If a man
eat three Meals pet' dicta, and occupy
thirty minutes to each meal, he spends
In one day, an hour and a half ; which
is the one-sixteenth of twenty-foUr
hours. If then he lives to the age of
seventy ; one-sixteenth part of his life
he devotes to eating, which sixteenth, itt
seventy years, makes the sum of four
years, four months and a half!
ily," we exclaimed, as we started for
dur sanctum, time is precious, and for
the future we will allow our half hour
to contain but twenty minutes."—City
