A BOY'S LOGIC
A
LITTLE
Band of Hope boy not six years old, recently
went to visit his grandmama at Southport. She had been
in the habit of daily taking a small quantity of ale under
the false idea that it would help to restore her health. On the
day of their arrival the ale jug was sitting upon the dinner
table. The little fellow-who had been carefully trained by his
parents to hate all these evil drinks-on taking his seat, and
seeing the jug, quietly rose and without uttering a word, went
and removed it to an adjoining closet, closed the door and, on
resuming his seat at the table looked earnestly at his grand–
mama, and with the simplicity of a child, slowly addressed her
thus: "Grandmama, I cannot eat my dinner with that abomin–
able stuff upon the table."
From that day the ale jug was entirely banished from the
table; the noble yet respectful rebuke of that
l~ttle
boy did it.
