A bot named Frank, who had heard a
(Jreat den I said about the evils of intem

kept by a man who drew a pood deal of
custom by his agreeable manners, and the

lord, doing, his best to kt-ej) up the little

yFrsnk did not say this pertly, nor im
prudently, as most boys Would nave done,
but. with such grave good humor that il
fst impossible for any one to be offended,
he landlord was taken by surprise, and
before he could recover himself and renew
the attack, Frank bade him a good morn
ing and retired.1
. A"day or two aller, wnite Frank was
(Musing Hirtley's tavern again, the landl
ord happened to be at the dooK He had
been good deal amuse'd hy the lad's off

lalion to drink, and although sensible that
he had obtained rather the worst in his en
counter with the cold water boy, felt very
much inclined to have another passage of
wils with him.
"Good morning 1 Good morning !" said
Mr. Harsley. How are you my little
cold water friend ?"
"Right well, I thank you," replied
Frank, in a cheerful good humored way.
''Won't you walk in?" said the land
lord. "No, I thank you," returned Frank.
''We've got some first rale Adam's ale.
Won't you have a glass ?"
"No, I believe not 1 I'd rather take it at
the pump."
"From he old iron ladle?"
"Yes. That does'nt taste nor smell of
brandy.','
"As my glass did ?"
"Your glass smells rather strong, land
lord," said Frank, shrugging ins should
ers and making a wry face ; '"and the taste
of lite brandy completely spoiled the wa

therefore, ihe mind of ihe hitler (lid not
become confused by passion. After a pause
of a few moments, he sail, speaking half
to himself,
"li'a not as bad as that, surely."
"Oil yes sir, a great deal worse," spoke
up Frank, earnestly ; "for death is in itself
a small matter compared with Ihe dread
ful , sufferings in the drunkard's family,
and the loss of his soul in Ihe end."
The landlord's face became serious;
for the Cold vvoier boy had given his thol's
a new direction. While he stood musihg'
Frank said,
"Come down to the hall to-night, and

world, you wouldn't sell another drop of
brandy. Won I you comer"
"Oh yes, I'll come, if its just to please
you. It can do no harm."
And Hartly vas as good as his word.
The result, however, was more than he
expected. He had never read a temper
ance document, and was, therefore, igno
rant, lo very great extent, of the true
facts in regard to the great moral devasta
tion that wss sweeping over the land. It
so happened, (hat a lecturer was exhibit
ing the 'appalling consequences of intem
perance, and he rcad'sluleinenl after state

ment, from men in all positions, bearing
upon the evils of drunkenness. Having
done lhis, he went on to show, in the
clearest manner, the responsibility of those
engaged in the liquor traffic. The good
natured landlord, who had never permit
ted himself to relied upon his calling, was
forced lo think now, and he thought until
his knees trembled.
The cold water boy was there, and bis
eyes were, for scarcely a moment at a time,
off of the landlord. With pleasure did he
observe the effect produced. But how
gladly did all his pulses bound, when, af
ter the lecturer sal down, Mr. Hartley
deliberately arose to his feet, and while
the most perfect stillnss reigned around
him, said, in a slow, distinct and serious
voice:
"I have sold liquor or Iwenly years;
aid il all that I have f'enrd to-night be
Irue, I have been (he means of doing more
evil than the repentance of a thousand life
limes can alone for. lint my eyes are
now open, and seeing the dreadful conse
quences that follow this traffio, I do here
solemnly pledge myself lo pour all the li
quid poison in my bar-room and cellar in
to the street at sunrise to-morrow morn
ing." .
Mr. Hartley sat down amid shouts of
joy-
I rue (o his word Ihe landlord did as be
had said; and you may be certain that

by sunrise to see the first good work of
