undergoing an examination, of which noth-

Newark Dziiiy Advertiser relates the follow-
ing capital anecdote:
lVe learn through a gentleman who was
present at a late public meeting of the Mor-
ris Countv Teinpcrance Society, that a lead-
ing Van Buren politician during the course
ofa speech in behalfofthe benevolent object
ofthe society, ventured to express much sor-
row that a certain political pa rty, which had
adopted the use of‘ Hard Cide.i',sliould pur-
sue a course that must prove disastrous to the
Temperance cause and probably throw it
back sortie years. with other i‘e,rnarks of the
same purport. The distingttishe-:l President
of the Society rose when the speaker sat
down, and remarked that i had neither time
nor inclination to follow him with a reply,
btit begged leave to relate the following anec-
dote. A few dsys since said he, a gentleman
whose feelings appear to be sorely grieved
that certain politicians should pursue a course
to render ‘hard cider’ palatable, dined in
Morristown. As there was nothing on the
table to drink stronger than cold water, this
political temperance man called for a bottle
of brandy, and drank repeatedly and freely
during his meal; and this brandy drinker
continued the President, is my worthy friend
whose stomach has been so turned against
‘hard cider.’ The effect of this simple an-
ecdote upon the audience may be readily
imagined. The gentleman started to his
feet under evident crribarrassment, ejacula-
ting—“I mite Zn'a.ii..rZy on’g/ as (L 7)t0(l'Z-62:718.”,
