A TRUE BTORY RELATED BY 11.18 NEPHFW,
On Christmas day Uncle William rs-
ceived a card inectibed as fulluwr:
William Bunting, Esq, debtor to
his nephews Alexander and
Fred and to Ilia nieces Nurall
and Dorthea, fur money ex-
pended in his behalf ............ $0 16
Uncle William paid the money at
once, but lie wrote to say hula be
should like to know how it happened
that lie owed as 16 cents. It was
Alexander who sent the bill id—foe a
boy of twelve he really is most busi
neaslike—and we deputed hien to an-
swer Uncle William's letter, lie did
go. He replied that the 16 cents wee
the sum spent in excess Of the Sum
subscribed by Alexander, ti'rod, Norah
and Dorothea for the purpose of giv-
ing Uncle William aChristmas present.
Then Uncle William wanted to know,
how, if this was the case, it happened
he never got the Christmas pre-
sent from us. Alexander said
than he did not fool iucliued '
to go to any more details. lie
sent Uncle William back the bill
properly receipted and a little note to
say that the correspondence on this
subject must now terminate.
Perhaps the thing does Seem a little
strange, but the explantation is perfect-
ly simple, and I give it. •I am Norah,
and Alexander Bud I are twins. The
other two are quite young. It was 1
who firdt had the notion that the ought
to give U-ucle William a Christmas
present. When any of us has a notion,
she or he calls a meeting of the others,
That was what I did.
I said that Uncle Wil'lialn was al-
ways giving us prnouts land yet we
never gave bitit allohiug, it was true
that lie had -said nothing about it, but
I was sure that ho must have felt it.
Christmas was noNVuear, and it would
be a good opportunity fur UR.
This was agreed. Alexaudor and I
each contributed 30 cellt,13 10 001116
more than Fred or Dorothea, Thus
'the total sum was $1, for which a very
gond present might have been bought
—something which would have Shown
untie every time lie loulted at it that
his'nepbews and uieces thought about
him a good deal and tried to please
him, even at some personal sacrifice to
themselves, We'did not docldo -what
i 'Ilie pratont %vas to be at once, because
Alexander said that would have been
grosaly irregular. We were to have
committee meetings every day about it
and discuss it thoroughly. Fred was
appointed trenadrer of the fund. .He
pat it all in a waistcoat pocket and got
me to sew the pocket up for him in
case of accidents.
At the next meeting Dorothea sug-
gested that we 4hould buy chocolates
(French) in a box. Jt was objectetj.
that Uncle William never ate Choc, -
lates. "No," said Dorothoe, he doean't�,.,
but he sometimes gives them away.
Then next time he wanted'to give any-
body any he wouldn't have to. buy."
Fred thought that it would be disholi•
orable give chocolates, and ive
agree with him. We than decided
to buy a tobacco pouch, which certain-
ly would have been a suitable prelIbut.
There are very few shops,in our vil-
lags, so Alexander and I took the train
next afternoon to a larger town, in
order to buy the pouch. Alexander
was to pay everything and to be rain.
burled out of the fuud.
The two return tickets were 20 conte
and we had refreshments at the station
which came to 16 eta, Mexandar said
that this was uulal and committees al-
ways had refreshments. We were
left with 64 cants to spent on the
pouch. However,' we found that we
could get. very good pouches for 50
cents each, i wauted to get a black
one and Alexander wanted brown,
So we decided not io buy either yet,
but to take the votes of the whole cum•
mittee on it. We spout the odd 111
cents on a white Java, mouse. We
feltaure uncle Williaut would like it,
The man in the etote said that people
often came in offering as much as 25
cents each for mice of that particular
kind. When we got backs "thr mouse
travelled in Alexander's pocket—we
at once held another committee meet-
iug.
Dorothea said that if Aloxander and
I had refreshments the rol;t of tho eonl-
mittee ought to have theta also. Su
we had chocolates -10 ,outs worth,
We agreed to purchnso the black
pouch. Fred suggested that there was
just a possibility that uncle William
would riot care about th`o mouse.
Alexander' Said that Ile would tele•
graph about it and did. This was the
telegram:
UNCLE WMLIAA—llo you like
white Java mice? ''acne. Pats any,
thing.
Int about an hour the answer cam
back:
'Moet certainly not.
This caused us some consternation
It was thought better to go to tow
again on the morrow and see if the ma
in the store would take back the mouse
In the meantime Fred's pocket was unT
picked and the entire fund handed ove
to Alexander in order that he migh
reimburse himself. Alexander said
that he would keep acconnts, and i
there was anything over he would ge
some very cheap present—perhaps
card. The pouch was, of course, nov
impossible. •
He and I went together as before

THE CURSE, ' -
Th.e effects of alcohol are a .crown
itig curse. Its horrors bave never
been fully portrayed. No pencil is
black r.nougit to paint the picture and
do it full justice. \io tongue is elo-
quent enough to tell the sad story in
all its dreadful details. The use of
alcohol is a wide and withering
scourge. , It is a physical, mental and
molal curse.
. You cin never remove the curse by
legalizing the cause. Tile colossal
curse of drunkenness will continue as
