I When I knowed him an first there was suthin' A sort of a general air That was very particular pleasin, And what you might call debonair. I'm aware the expression is FrenIiy, And rather high daddy, perhaps; Which accounts that I bare tho acquaintance Of Bercml quality chapa. But he got ta increasin' his doses, And took 'em tnoraj.often', h did, And it prowed on liirn faster and faster Till inter a bummer he slid. I was grieved to observo this hero fellow A shovin' himself down the grade, And 1 lectured him onto it sometimes At the t isk of spiliu' the trad. At Inst lie got thnnderin seedy, And he lost the respect for himself, And all his high uotioil of honor Wast bundled away on the sbolf. Bur. at times he was dreadful remorseful Whenever he'd stop for to think. Anil he'd swear to let'orm hir.iself frequent, And eud it by taking a drink. What saved the yotmp feller'' A woina ! Pho come it the siEgloresr. way. lie come ino the bar-room ohm crctiin (He hadn't been driukin' that tiay.) And he tot himsulf down to a table With a terribie sorrowful fai-e, And he sot there a groan iu repeated, And uallin' Limselfa gone case. ITe was thinkin and.lhrik.in and thiukin', And cussin' himself for his fate. And ha ended Ids thirkin' at usual - By orderin' a Bourbon straight. IIo was holdin' the glass in his fitiKfrs, When into the place from the street There came a yonug gal like a spirit. With, a face that was powerful srft. Atid she glided right up to the table And took the glass gently away. And she said to him, "Gsorge, it is over: I am only a woni:.n to-day ! I rejected you one? in ray anger, But I come to yon lowly itnd mek, For I can't live without you, my darling, I thought 1 was strong, but I'm weak. "You are baved into ler.i'ol bondage, And I come, love, to shar it with yoti: Is there shrtnw in tho deed? I can bear it, For at last to my lore I am true; I have turned frm the home of my child hood And I come to my lover and friend, Leaving comfott, contentment, ami honor, And I 11 stay to tha terrible end. "Is there hunger and want in the fUrnre? I will share it with you and not shrink 1 And together we'll join in the pleasures, The woes and the dangers of drink." T1,b Vi raised nn i,ie glass Arm and steady , But her face wn-n Pa9 as the dead Hero's to wine and the Joy of caronmlH, The songs and Ihe laoglner," she naid. Then he viz wr, his face l'ko a tarn est. And took the glasa out at her baud, And slung it n'vuy, Ptern and s.ivago. And I tell yon Irs manner was giand ! And he say : "I hnve done with it., lly; And I'll i-arn from the ways I have trod, A. id I'll live to be wrthy if you, dear, Ho he'o me a merciful God ! "You have saved me, my love and my dar ling, On a noble and womanly r.lan; G back to your home tt1! I ok you In the gavu and the strength of a maul" I seen that same feller last Moaday, Lookin' nobby ad handsome aud game; He was wteelin' a veh' le, gcu'lewien, And a babv was into tho same. j'uj swr-co louj:i suit. I scarcely know bow it happened. ' timber must h ! "iit-- arid struck me ..J.HII the head. Tho first thing that I icalized was tliat I was straight and it'll upon something hard, and when T tried to move myself and speak, I found it impossible tw do so. I concluded that 1 must bo in some very tight, daik place; for I could not sec : in fact I soon learned that,' though conscious, I could do nothing but hear. A door one ned and footsteps ard vo;cos approached ; 1 feli, a cloth taken from my face, r.ud a voice which I recognized as that of Mr. Jones, the father of my wife tliat was to be, said : "lie hasn't changed anicb," and bis companion, whoso voice 1 knew to be that of the villaft undertaker, llcpkins by name, s.'.id lightly: "Bettor looking dead than alive. How docs Jcrnsha feel about ii ? take on much?" "O no, she had her eyo on another fel low any uow, and a bcttcc match loo, ex cepting the money part. '1 hough I had nothing aaii-st Ben, oidy he didn't know nn -hj-a.id was aoout ll:o home-best ma.i I ever knew. Such a mouth ; why it .x-ally seemed as though he was going to swa'low knife, fork, plate anel all, when he opened it ai, dinner." "Well." said the cheerful vo;ce of Hop kins "he'll never open his mouth agaiu, that's certain ;" and then he proceeded to measure n.o for my coflin, for it seemed that I was dead, or they thought I was, w lrch was al' the same to tho greetly pocket of the undertaker. I had hea -c"! of undertakers who always whistled joyfully when they got a measure, btiv I never believed 't before. But that man actually whistled a subdued dancing tune while mcasir ing me, and it seemed to me that three or four icicles were rolling down my back, to the music of his whistle. IPs duty done, they covered my face again and left mo to my own retlections, which, were not particularly comforting, al'hough I often heard it remarked, that meditation was good for the son!, and this Was the best chance I had ever had for it. An hour must have passed when the door agaiu opened, and two more persons came whispeiing along to where I lay, and the voice of my promised wife fell upon my car : "I dread to look at him, Bob ; he was so mortal homely alive, he must be fright ful, dead." I ground my teeth in imagination, as 1 remembered how often she bad gone into j have helped it if they had chucked me into 1 bewts in Paudunk, on' hituvlf in ,,. raptures, or pretended to, over my noble my coflin which the undertaker was just tiny ofore ht'd fariy got rttrttir to t(.:rt brow, and expressive mouth ; and how she had often declared that if I were taken from her, she would surely pino away and io- ! One of them raised tho cloth, and I knew ' they were looking at me. Bob was her i se'eotad consin,. ind I knew he wa that "ether fellow," whom her father had j mentioned. . . "Sceras to me yon don't feel very bad , about his. dying, 'Husha," remarked Bob, ' meditativcly ' l "Well, to tell the truth," said my dear betrothed, "1 don't care very much about it, If he had lived I should have married him, because he was rich, and father wanted me to ; but I was getting about sick of my bargain, - foi 1 should always be ashamed of him, he looked 60 much like a ba'joo.?." "But you loved him," remarked Bob, "Xa 1 didn't ! My affections were wp.sted lonj ago upon one who never reuned osy lovo ;'' and my faKt-fading idl sighed hervily. T'ley had covered my face by this time, and were standing n, few steps from where ; I lay. j "About ho w long ago, 'Iuska7" asked ' Bob. J "A year, or such a matter," with an- i other deep sigh, which ended in a fit of j sneezing. "About the time T went away," intero gated the cautious Bob, coughijg a little. "Well, yes, somewheie's near," assent ed my dear affianced. "Now Jerusha, you don't mean to insin uate thai, I "I dou't mean to insinuate anything, Bob Smith !" and the angelic sweetness of her voice was eomewhat sharpened. "Now, see heie, 'Rusha, I've loved you ever since you wore knee nigh top. gouner, but, i thougnc whea 1 came home, that you was sweet on that other ciiap; but, I swan, I believed you bked me the best all tho iiine." "O, Bob !" said my was-to-be, in a gush ing sort of way. "Mine own Jernsha," remarked Bob. Then I heard a subdued rush accompa nied by violcni, l'p explosions. I tried io kick, or grate my teeib, or do somet'ii ig to relieve my outraged feelings, but not a wick or a f rale could i raise. It was an awful fix to be in, but there was nothing io do but to stand it or . ather to lay it, so I laid still and let 'em kiss uulil they got tired of It, and Ihcj they went out, and I was agaiu luft to my own pleasant reflections. Ni,jLu came, and so did "a- lot of young fellows wi h tlieir girls, to sit up with me ; aud tliey had a jolly time of it, ah hough it was pgainst my principles to enjoy it, ou so solemn an oocasion. It seemed an age till morning, but it' cainc at hist and they went away.

Chronicle, was a cit'zen of Augusta county, and it has not been a decade since lie emigrated to the "undiscovered country." Mark was somewhat, eccentric, as an evidence of which we may state that ho procured his second wife byjpurchase for the extravagant sum of $5, and was married iu a full suit of red flrttinel. Tho money for the spouse was paid to the agent who did the courting, and not to too fair dame, who gave hei self up without, money and without price." As may be readily imagined, Mrs. Kallar was not the most exemplary of wives, and a brief aquaintanfle demonstrated tho fact that f-lie was as fond of the bottle as Mark himself.

"It would servo you rightly for your impertinence if you never saw it again, but consiueting you have been at so ui'ich trouble to get it out of the stream, I suppose I ought to let you have it," and she extended it toward him. Tom ignored the vinaigrette entirely, but taking bold of tho fair, shaj-ely hand, he laid his cheek against it for an instant, and then kissed it softly.

The dog had his place in the baggage car, and kept it ail the li.ne the train w as in motion; but when the train stopped at a station ho would step out to take a look al things, and when the bell rang lie would resume his place in the car.
