AN UNEXPECTED RETORT.
One Sunday morning, Mr. Moody, the revivalist, entered a Chicago drug store, distributing tracts. At the back of the store sat an elderly and distinguished citizen reading a morning newspaper. Mr. Moody approached this gentleman, and threw one of the temperance tracts upon tlie paper before him. The old gentleman glanced at the tract, and then, looking up benignantly at Moody, asked: “Are you a reformed drunkard?” “No, sir, I am not!” cried Moody, drawing back, indignantly. “Then why in h don’t you reform?” quietly asked the old gentleman.
