HE following expresses the contrastbetween what is genuine and the re-ported. I find in a paper the follow-ing: At a great meeting at which Mr. John B. Goughspoke, in America, the card of a gentleman, a judgein the place, was sent up, as he desired to speak. I beg to differ in toto with everything said bythe lecturer. I began with nothing, and worked myway up to the top of my profession, and have been amoderate drinker all my life; and if people would only follow myexample, there would be no drunkards.

Get your name up! * Sit uponhim! 370. put that man^ out. 371 And while this was going on, everybody saw that the poor fellowwas drunk.

ISTow, said he, I am a moderate drinker. Every-body knows me. I take my glass at home; I take itabroad.
