Hosf. D'ErtlVA. We had the extreme
pleasure, on Friday evening last, of lieing
I present at an entertainmcnr. given in .n.
j John's church, Altoona, by the alsive named
I lady, who is indeed well worthy to he called
! the Queen of Song," a title l stowed ujon
; her, if we mistake not, by no less a person
1 age than Empress Eugenie herself, before,
! whom, as we'l as before several members of
j the roval f.iwily a-td others of the nobility
I in England and elsewhere, she appeared with
! unbounded success on a.ivcral occasious in
her great redo of vocalist and pianist a rolo
i in wlih-li we certainly have never heard a iy
1 wi.e to equal, much less excell her. She is
i indeed the lortunate possessor of a fine voice
i ,.f great compass and power, which has been
J so well cultivated that it mavbe said to have
reached perfection itself, tt is not, how-
ever, to our mind, a very sweet voice, though
! grand and pleasing in an eminent, degree;
i nor is her erunciation by any means free
i from objection, her prominent if not her only
failing seeming to be what is generally
' Vnncvii as "moiithintr the words." At the
piano anil parlor organ, however, on which
tdie played accompaniments, and also er
f or tiled several fine arias, nhe is simply sulk
lime, and we doubt whether it is possible
tor anv but he most accomplished to con
ceive c.f Mich enchahling music as was pro
duced br the magic manipulations of her
daiuty, dexterous fingers. Having also had
the pleasure of forming her acquaintance,
we must say that we were much impressed
...in. l.-r .....tes! and unassuming deport
ment, as well as with the very I'ommendable
' later than heretofore, i l.ih honors so fiequently and so fiitinijly
l-sWiwed upon her by eminent personage
in the old ud new world.

are riot so rare or unusual as to need any very
full or explicit explanation, yet tt Is flttinir that
in order to preveut any mtuunVrsta!riliitr and
avoii any misconceptions as to motives and
acts a brief resume of the purticular ends to be
accomplished by th's society should be present

In the flrt place, then, be it fairly and fullv i
understood that this society Ims no enmity with I
either as a body or us individuals the bust- j

No, It is not ot'ifunizcd for t tie purpose or an- I

in skiving that thus far our society will have
the t-ytupiithy and endoi tuniciil of all good
c:t izens.
And truly Is not the object a grand and praise
worthy one? Nay, more, could nny one de
serving the name or possessing the common in
stincts of Immunity feel otherwise than Iriend
ly towards the effort to reform and upraise the
fallen of his fellow men from the degradation
mid misfortune attending as handmaids upon
the terrible evil of intemperance.
A lus, my friends, who can g:ize around him
at the appalling train of evils it produces and
not feel concerned and interested in the awful
picture of woe, destitution nn i destruction pre
sented by the crime ,f frequent intoxication
mid drunkenness. Yea! let us took ut tlmevii
from whatever standpoint, or in whichever of
its varied aspects we choose, and a moment's
reflection cannot help but cau.w us to shudder
at the dire results, both for the present and for
the future, that dance attendance at itssl.lc.

of time upon the scene presented In tin. t ine-briat.-'j

stair, ay give way beneath your feet, yon ln ur
th awful curses of the phrenzie.t husband in
at gry reproaches tnd recriminatioris with her
who should tie 10 him as the apple of his eve
the fond wife of liishosoui--h.il who, it would
seem from Ids drunken ravings, was to him
mere like the vampire of evil or tho curse of
his cxi-tence. S-iu.l dei ing ly and hesbatingly
J 01 continue until you arr've at th- door, and
as vou rtp for a-im-.tianee the weaken".! and
fjiinl r -.i,-cs t-t starving. Inicishliiw children
greet your cur, d'-s(ai:tuly bcM-eehing ttie
broken-heurted mother for bread, and she dis
mally replying she has not a m r?el to give
them. The door at length opens and you are
met at the Sitme instant by the bloodshot eyes
and besotted countenance, of Uie THving hus
band and the verkiiig. sickeuingodorsot pollu
tion, filth, sickness ami disease intermingled,
and appalled to tho heart you enter the door
ol t tie wretched abode. Once inside tiie dreary
walls what a Fight meets jour attention. In
raws and misery the remains of a once hand
some and beautiful woman present themselves
a living spectre ss territ.le as death itself.
Three children in squalor and dirt, rendering
them scarcely recognizable as human beings -and
tn one corner the lifeless remains of a
fourth stark and cold in the embrace or death,
brought on directly by starvation. t,ut indirect
ly by the poisoned chalice of strong drink.
As you gazo upon the attenuated form you
shrink back in horror at the sigd.t ; but. alas!
this is but a Single instance one only of the
many thousands of cases of indirect murder
unused by intemperance. A ml, oh, (lod ! is it
n.'t a sight ut which angels and men might
well weep, to see the insensible, craz-d, stupi
flev father standing in mute disregard over the
inanimate form ol the child of his loins, un
heedit.T the lesson it so silently yet so t-'o 1 ucnt
ly preaches. Vo l turn to administer a word
of eoinfovt to the famishing and broken-hearted
mother. In., your heart sickens at theeCfort,
for. alas! whit word of consolation can you
utter in her err? Turning, you enquire into
their former history', and you Ilnd that a few
yi-urs ago ttie husct.'d and wife were the hap
py heads ot a family, ihe happiest or the happy,
full of trust and love aod fond hopes for a f u
lure promising bright and full realization a
household respected, lo dig and affectionate
a wife idolizing a husbtind in every way
worthy of her esteem and veneration, gifted,
affectionate and kind. Hut "'Jdst this one even
ing" he ws induced to Join a pari y of convivial
friends, and, as in thousand of c.i "if. "jutt this
oiu-r" was but the beginning, and night after
nighl be went out, airain and again repeating
"Just (his 1. nee," until at length the fond wife
tiegan to observe the heartstrings of conjugal
nflection gradually loosen, the tics of love
slacken, the prattle of children less pleasing
and attention to business less prompt and earn
est. With fears and entreaties tried she to re
cad him to himself and to the forsaken path of
virtue and duty, but the fatal blindness that
ever attends the down ward career of the drunk
ard had fastened Itself upon bim, nnd he. could
not see himself tailing off day by day from his
habits of duty and diligence, until all at oiifa
disgrace and ruin hurst upon his crazed and
blinded senses. Then again the fatal cup is
resorted to. now to drown consciousness of
dishonor and disgrace the same cup which
was first raised to his lips In Joy and conviviali
tyand at length the fatal drauirht becomes as
necessary to his existence as the sweet, pure
air of hoe ven. Home, too, with all its former
endearing ties, becomes a mockery and re
proach to him, and the idoliicd wife and chil
dren are transformed into slaves of a druuk
uni's whims and brutal passions.
But a few davsmore ailcr the death scene
we have witnessed and the new mound of earth
In the "Potter's field' marks the last resting
place of "only a drunkard." and tho bright
hopes of an immortal soul have sunk in the
deep darkness of everlasting despair. But let
us quit this scene of anguish and misery; yet
it is no fancv sketch, for only Is it too deplora
bly true in hundreds and thousands of cases.
Alas.no! we cannot disguise it, for shut our
eyes to It as we may, tho giant truth still re
mains. Intemperance la the enemy of health and the
destruvc-r of wealth. It is the demon that lures
to destruction the high and the low, the rich
and the poor, and it careers in its untrammeled
course tbrouirh t he palace halls of thn great as
well as runs not in the cottage of the poor or
the tenement of the outcast. It drives to ruin
the king on his throne and Invades even the
very sanctuary of God's holy temple, and it
knows not remorse or sorrow. It det-troys
energy and wrests from Industry its reward,
while it seduces from virtue the good and
drives to madness and death f heevil tendencies
of the wicked. It Nils the almshouse ami the
Potter's field and it populates our penitentiaries
and erects thegallows. Itsuppilesoiir crltnina!
calendars and fills up our court records, and
while it robs our schools and churches it creates
proselytes and ministers of the dvil and drives
headlong its hordes of maddened souls to etern
al perdition. It insinuates itself into the house
hold of love and peace and Joy, and by its syren
voice turns the happy and lovintr household
Into the home of wretchedness and the haven
of oespair, while it undermines the health and
wrecks the senses r.s well as the Intellect.
Oh I then, why should we not "unite in a con
certed endeavor to abate the dreadful evil?"
Nay. I ask yo j, is not the aim and object of our
society a noble one. a Just one, a praiseworthy
ne one indeed that is every way worthy of
j our sanction and approval, of your sympathy
t.n assistance ? And it not, why not 1

conraire and not frown upon any and all efforts
that will tend to rescue from so horrible a fate
as a drunkard's death and a drunkard's grave

In the good cause, our efforts should prove suc

And will we not, tort, draw upon ourselves the

we wi.l not look back," mid with the hp-sting of

"unless lie build the house they labor in vain

ihe ierfmijfr iuk Awake opens w ith an

fully sustain the re.-ntation Wiie Awakf.
has earned for publishing fine poems.
"Carrier Pigeons," "A Turkish Wedding."
ami "A Rare exotic," give entertaining in
formation. Madge Elliot has a capital story
of some street children, entitled "Cinders,"
and "Whit Happened to Kathicjaud Lu,"a
funny story by Miss Farinan, is worthy the
attention of bi folks as well as little. " Tiie
Serials, -Nan." bv Mrs. S. C. Hallowell,
(the editor of 77n? Xew Century,) and " tod-for-noihing
Polly," are deeply interesting,
although both are home-stories, with no per
nicious tendencies. The "Behaving Paper."
upon liehaving at a party, will le a blessing
to many a bashful girl and awkward boy.
The Miiull people get their share in the
Large Print pages, "Learning to Count,"
and "The Little Pigs that went to Market."
The latter pages of the Magazine provide
generously for the home amusements of the
children. Besides the "Doll's Fair" for !
which all the girls are dressingdolls, and all j
the boys are manufacturing toys, there nre
a dozen Puzzles to sol ve, for each of which a

for Christmas eve, and a prt-tty Marching

lips, the present memiier. The State elects
three members and the First, or Mr. Fenlon's
district, embraces thirty of the counties in
the western part of the State, considerably
more than one-third of tho whole number in
the State, every county butoneatVheeleelion
two years ago being Republican. This was
not a very inviting political field for even so
well known, popular and energetic a Demo
crat as Mr. Fetilon is admitted to be in his
own State to enter with any hope of success,
but the nomination having leen generously
tendered hin he accepted it in the same
spirit with which it was given, and made, as
lie is abundantly competent to make, an
active and vigorous canvass of his almost,
lioundless district. But as he well knew,
from his intimate knowledge of Kansas Re
publicanism, and as he wrote to his friends
here, he was not at all excited or enthusias
tic about his election ; but, as a good Demo
crat, was willing to take his chance and
sacrifice himself for once for the integrity of
his party. Mr. Fenlon came within 12.382
votes of being elected. 1 1 was not large., to be
sure, but still it was enough ; and he may
now say of Phillips, a lioohy and a fool, as a
distinguished ancient General said of his
obscure but victorious opponent, ''Great let
me call him, for he conquered me."
