How to Manage Temptation

How to Manage Temptation.—Some years since, three Indians in the neighborhood of Green Bay became converted to temperance, although previously surpassingly fond of the brain thief. Three white men formed the charitable resolution of trying to draw them back. Placing a canteen of whiskey in their path, they hid themselves in the bushes to observe the effect. The first Indian recognised his old acquaintance with an "Ugh," and making a high step, passed on. The second laughed, saying, "Me know you." The third one drew his tomahawk and dashed it in pieces, saying; "Ugh, you conquer me, now I conquer you."
