THE TERRIBLE DIME
Oh, the drink, the.terrible drink,
Making each city and town a sink
Of mistily dire, and fearfid to tell
Of the numberless victims sent to hell
Swearing,
Killing,
Crimes no tack,
The tel able drink makes night so black ;
The curse of youth avd decrepid age,
Adding to thirst instead of assuage ;
Continual drink, the drunkard's crave,
Till it drags him down to an early grave.
Oh, the drink, the horrible drink
See the child from its father shrink
As he staggers home from his night's de
bench,
Ills soul on Ste from the demon's torch.
Blindly,
Wildly,
UZI
Stun bli ng along,
Cruzed with think, Larne , wrung;
And evoithe dogs, with a mid abound,
Growl at the man as he gr.. around.
This is the picture, deny it -4o can,
Of the downward steps or fallen man.
Once he was free from the vice,bm be fell=
Fell, like the angels, from heaven to hell—
Fell, to be mocked at, scoffed at, and beat,
Mingling with filth in the horrible street.
Pleading,
Cursing,
• Dreading the worst,
Drinking still deeper, yet greater his thirst,
Till he sickens and falls, degraded and low.
And death is preferred to this abyss of woe!
Merciful God! in thy zoodness save
Thine own Image from a drunkard's grave
DORSONIAN CHRISTMAS GIFTS
"'Tway the night before Christmas, when all
throngh the house,
Not a creature was stirring, nut even a mouse,
And mamma In her kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had Just settled our brains for a long winter's
nap."
This muck of the old Christmasabary was
extremely true of the Dubsons at the par
ticular time I am going to tell you about,
for It was the night before Christmas, hav
ing just struck eleven on the parlor mantle
piece by the clock that made so much noise
about all its performances. You could bear
them distinctly in the room overhead—and
Mr. and Um, Dobson wore respectfclly
kerchief and cap—presuming the words to
designate the masculine and feminine of the
same noun—Mrs. Dobson's with a high
crown, and nicely tinted, tied beneath her
chin ; Mr. Dobson's of many colored silks
curiously netted together, with a lengthy
tassel depending on one side.
I have omitted some.of the intermediate
lines of the poem, because there were no
little Dobsona nestled snug in their be s,
while visions of sugar plums danced in their
kende, and, consequently, no stockings were
hung "by the chimney with care, in hopes
that. fit. Nicholas soon would be there-"
They had had their little talk after the light
bad been put out, and Mr. Dobson taken
the flying leap necessary to land him in the
heap of leathers that, with an old-lksitioned
love of comfort, they patronized instead of
hair maul-tsars; they had said good night
and "turned over," in fact, had settled them
selves for It long winter's nap, when—yes,
the clatter came, but not the minattire sleigh
and reindeer—it was a loud rap on the on t
door. Of course the good people were con
siderably startled. To them, in their quiet
way of life, any one out at eleven and com
ing to their house fur a call was a thing in
credible, and not to be entertained for a
moment.
"What's that?" said Mr. Dobson.
"Speak softly, dear," whispered the lady
"They don't knock softly," he answered
"I suppose I must go down and see what It
is. Ugh!"
This exclamation was not whollynncalled
for, as, be iltmderstood, it was a very cold
night, and there was no lire in tLe room.
"My love, I positively declare you shall
not go I" cried his wife. "It isn't safe—and
in your condidonatoot\ Think of the pains
in your knees, the neuralgia In your left
shoulder—besides, it may be thieves."
Now, Mrs. Dooson,having for many years
had sole control of her own life and limbs,
was very apt to think, since they shared
their flesh and limbs in common, ahe had,
and of right should have, equal control over
the life and limbs of Mr. Dobson, who gen
erally permitted such control unless the
cause 'seemed urgent. In this instance the
cause so seemed, and be showed a celerity
in his movements in leaving his resting
place that vats quits astonishing in a man of
his years, for he thought if the thing had to
be done, it was one of those that had better
be dyne at once, since jumping out of bed
on a cold winter's night presents more hor
rors to the imagination the longer the idea
is dwelt upon, as some among my readers
may certify if they will recall the remem
brume of a refractory window-shutter and
their sensations as they lay and hoped (need
I say bow vainly 9) it would fasten itself
either backward or forward, and they re
main undiluirbed. Mr.Dobson knew very
well thieves would not make so noisy an en
ance,,and felt no fears on that score, but
lumbsgo presented terrors he dreaded to face
—or bitch., "At any rate, lixxit out of the

In a tdoe she was ready, and steeled off

with great admiration for her self-inuncds-
Lion and suddenly-acquired courage. But
ah !--poor Hrs. Dotvon was a heroine in
dress. Little did he guessof the flutterings
of that heart as she crossed the hall and laid
her band on the-door-knob. However, she
cast a glance back at her liege lord, so en
couragingly near, bravely drew the bolt,
and looked forth.
"I hope she won't see it,"he mutters
At first she does- not; but at length she
exclaims: "Yes, here is a basket ! I veri
ly believe it is a baby after alit" She
stoops down, examines the contents- eau
.tiously, and then retreats inside and locks
the di or.
"It is a baby, I'm afraid. for I felt straw
and cotton, as true as I live. And nnw,
Mr. Dobson, what would you do ?"
He replied cooly: "Come back to bed
by all means ; it's quite cold," and he look
ed really relieved.
"But the baby—you Said it would freeze."
"I've thought better of that. Moat like
ly It is a baby, but if so, somebody is wait
ing ogle, and they'll know soot enough
we haven't taken It in, and then they wont
leave It there." Alter a moment's pause,
with an animated countenance, he contin
ued :
"It strikes me, Lelino, this is probably
some confounded joke of the neighbors.
Don't you see? 'Bending a baby to you
and me. Likely enough It's a hoax ; and
isn't a real baby at all, and they are on the
watch to laugh at us, if we don't show
them we can see through a thicker stone
wall than that, any day."
This was quite convincing to Mrs. Dub
sdn, and she willingly reascended the stair
way, remarking only she thought it is very
poor joke: First in, she was soon tucked
down most comfortably. "Ebenezer, why
don't you get in and put oSt the light, and
don't stand shaking there ?"
"I think—perhaps—my dear, I'll go
down and get warmed by the dining.room
fire. I have got thoroughly chilled ; and I
noticed quite a warm light shone out in
the hall "
"Nonsense!"
"Well, well,' never Mind, then !" and
out went the light, and in went the sub
missive Dobson, but with strenuous efforts
he tried to keep his eyes open, for, thought
he, "when she gets asleep I'll jest run
down and take the basket In. There's no
use in its being left out all night. I don't
think It is quite safe. "
While he with great exertions tried to
banish sleep, she vainly sought to yield
herself to its embraces; and so it happened
that when at length she found oblivion, his
exhausted nature could endure no more,
and Morpheus' fingers were on his closed
eyelids—not to be removed till daylight
dawned. His first thought was of that bas
ket, and his first act to look at Mrs. Dobson,
Rising with the utmost caution, he stepped
on tip toe out of the room, leaving the door
ajar. The pale glimmer of early dawn shed
a mysterious gray light over everything,
just sufficient to guide his steps.' He reach
ed the bottom of the stairway in safety, and
commenced crossing the ball, still watching
every footstep with the most anxious solici
tude, that no loose board or unwary stum
ble rouse the sleeping beauty overhead.
But suddenly he pauses. Through the half
opened door of the dining room, in the dim
light, he clearly distinguishes the figure of
a man.
At first be thinks he has been seen, sad
his limbs treretble beneath him, but Ina mo
ment becomes swam that the man's back
is toward him; and, with great presence of
mind. he turns quitely wound and retraces
his steps with equal care and nicety. The
Fates are propitious ; the wife of his bos
om lies wrapped in unconscious slumbers
still Tpe heroic Dobson lays his hand
with trembling e.{citement upon his pistol
on the mantle piece and then bravely
marches back to the encounter. Vnluokily,
in his nervous haste, he trips at the fist
step, but recovers his balance, and no one
seems to have heard the noise, for when he
reaches the doorway again he sees the fig
ure still In the same position. Be raises
the pistol, fires, and at the same moment
hears the voice of Mrs. Dobson calling :
"Ebenezer, what are you about ?"
Awakened by the noise he made in his
second exit, she bad rushed out to see where
he was going, and arriTes Jest in time to
behold him strike an attitude, and send a
bail through the unconscious robber,—
Even in momenta of intense excitement,
habit will assert it control, and, before
looking to see the effect of his Are, Mr.
Dobson 'tarns his horror-stricken coon-
tensuce toWerd the surprised lace of his
wire.
"I'm afraid I've killed him—he doesnt't
move!" said he, la an awed tone of voice.
With a wounin's titeitness ors. Dobson
understands the situatiOn at a glanci„and
reviles, while at the same moment her face
&presses pity,amusement,an44egret—pfty
for Mx. D"hson's evidently terri4l depres
sion of spirit, amusement of his , nsistake,
and regret at the conseqUences. 'Why,

Illy this time'She had descended to his
side; and together they walk into the room,

Sho has him at an advantage as far as his
'comtbrt is concerned ; Ibr be had unwise
ly seated himselVto enjoy his laugh in
turn, but with so tight a clasp around his
throat he can only return geaps for the
affectionate utterances of his wife.
"You dear good old fellow 1 Just what
I wanted I But to think of leaving them

At length he findi a chance to say:"Why
you see, decry, youwouldu't let ino take
that baby in while you were swake, and
you were so confoundedly lung getting
asleep. I hadn't a chance till morning."
Then they fall to examining their respec
tive gills again. Mrs. Dobson setting the
pretty china tea-set all out on the table, and
wiping each piece with affectionate care,
while Mr. Dobson is actually trying on all
the artich a given him, and pronouncing
each and every one an exact fit. At length,
with O. pang of remorse, he remembers the
damage he had unwittingly done; but on
searching no hole can be seen, and finally
they find the bull lately lodged in the die
place.
Thus it was that Mr. and Mrs. Dobson

TIIE DEACON . AND 11718 WANTS. —A
worthy deacon In a town of Maine was re
markable for the facility with which he
quoted Scripture on all occasions: The
Divine word was ever on his tongue and
all trivial as well as important occurrences
of life furnished occasions for quoting the
language of the Bible. What was better,
however, the exemplary man always made
his quotations th standard of action.
One hot day he was engaged in mowing
with his hired' n, who was leading off,
the deacon following in his swath, conning
his apt quotations, when the man suddenly
sprang from his place,. leaving the swath
just in time to escape from a warp's nest.
"What Is the matter ?" hurriedly inquired
the deacon.
"Wasps," was the laconic reply.
"Pooh !" said the deacon, "the wicked
See when no man prusneth, but the right
eous are bold as a llort ;" and taking the
workman's swath, he moved but a step
when a swarm of brisk Insects settled
about his ears, and he was forced to retreat,
with many a painful sting, and In great
discomfiture.
"Alt !" shouted the other, with a chuckle,
"the prudent Dean forseettt the evil and
hideth himself, but the simple pass on and
are punished."
The good deacon had found his equal in
making applications of the sacred wntings,
and thereafter was not known to quote
Scripture in a mowing field.
LAWYER TArrAN'S boo.—A certain
butcher of Steubenville (call him Mr, B.)
had been much annoyed by a large dog
which had several times stolen meat from
his stall. Quips to lawyer Tappan, be pre
sented his case thus
"Mr, Tappan, 1 have had my beef stolen
at various times by a dog in the towil. What
shall I do ?"
"Sue the owner of the dog and recover
the price of the beef," was the answer.
"Mr. Tappan, it was your dog," said Mr.
8., exultingly." •
t`Ap 13t was—well, what is the value of
the beef?"
"Three dollars," replied the butcher.
"Very well," said Mr. Tappen, and paid
the money.
With a /milling countenance the butcher
was closing the office door, when he was
startled by :
"Hold on, Mr. 8., I charge you five dol
lars for consultation."
Tuskratcat. Agscogra.—There was one
occasion, when Mr. Forrest received froiu
ono of the supernumeraries of a theatre
"an answer which seemed to satisfy him. It
was the man's duty to say simply, "The
enemy is upon us," which he uttered at re
hearsal in a poor whining way:
"Can't you say it better than that r
shouted Forrest "Repeat it as I do," and
be save the words with all the force and
richness of his magnificent voice.
"If I could say it like that," replied the
man, "I wouldn't Pe working for three
dollars a week."
"Is that all you get ?"
"Ye„
"Well, then, say It as you please."

Captain Joseph had bunt . 4; the west of
Midas; not to steal the colored man ; his
was a more harmless traffic ; he •bought
mahogany, gold dhat, and' other things.—
Bet, more Important fur ay story,' lie
brought home with him, as a pulient to his --
fiat girls and their bisli)' inether, an
Afri
can monkey.
Jacko was larger, broader, sponger, even
uglier to look upon time hisyMing relations
are,—his forty green& cousins, who wear
the tartan plaid, dance in our streets to
street music, tl-o pistols, threw up their
caps, catch pennies, and do everything but
talk. Jacko looked out, float those deep
set eyes, below the narrow forehead, with
even a nvire human look titan the street I „
monkey. At times, ton, there wag a vici•
ous, cunning leer utioa his face, that did
net please .eur great-grandmother; even
though he was everjo ready to rock the
baby, she feared that he would trove but a
treacherous nurse, wishing him, many
thins, back among the juugles of Africa.
Captain Joseph kissed, sailor-Illation, his
wife% pretty cheek, shying: - Ay, sweet
heart! Jacko is unfortunate; he is not
good-looking enough to pletosi the ladies. --
He has not the pretty ways of a more gen
tlemanly monkey, therefoni neither you
nor Dinah can ethic him." And Dinah,
from amid the fragrant meal she was pre
;raring for the johnnycake, showed her
albite teeth, and said she. "believed Jacko
was a toper, and as often dru'hk as Billy the
boatswain was."'
Our grandmother, too, had *mite gray•
suspicions. She detected the fragrance of
her choicest Jamaica, whenever her-ke)s
were left in the store-room door ; and the
contents of the captain's punch bowl sank
sometimes as mysteriously as water does in
wells before the earthquake shock. Plot
Jacko was a sly fellow, and the captain bad
a liking for him, treating every such report
as feminine slander on account of Jacko's
ugly looks. The sailors had taught Jacko
many a
: trick, on that rough homeward
voyage,—!we expect he knew the sound of
the fiddle as well as Jack the tar, but our
grandmother did not approve of dancing,
and never invited Jacko to the minuet.
And he did love beer. Ala! there was
Jacko's ruin,—another trait, too, whereby
ho touched humanity. Nobody, In that
day, objected to the beer barrel,- -It was be.
fore the temperance movement, and Cap
tain Joseph kept his well tapped, down in
his comfortable cellar. Jacko knew it wis
there. Down stalls he ran, one day, all on
the sly, and drank himself so drunk he for
got to turn the tap again, and all the con
tents of the barrel ran out upon the cellar
floor. Janke, surly and dumb, went and.
bid himself from the whipping; but he
could not escape the master's vigilance.
Captain Joseph was not one to spare the
rod upon his child, still lon upon his mon
key.
Very dark-looking for days afterwards
was ',Tacko; hiding about and biding his
time. One day the baby was missing, and
Captain Joseph saw a sight that made his
stout nerves quiver as never they had done
before the blast or billow. He saw Jacko
on the house top with his son, boUnding
over On slippery roof, and coming, as he
met the Captain's eye, defiantly, with that
dear baby, down to the very eaves.
Our young readers may have heard of
William Tell, who parted the apple on his
lee's head withan arrow. Captain Joseph
did something quiteas brave. Kind neigh
bors came to the rescue, with ladders and
feather beds. 'tCaptain.Joseph took his gun
crept up to the scuttle, and then, while
Jacko dangled Mb baby over the eaves, he
shot the monkey dead. The baby dropped
into the pile of teethe/ beds tmhurt,—our
grandfather was saved. He had not been
as frightened in that dance of death upon
his father's roof as the agonised hearts who
watched him had been. To the baby it had
been a wild sort of play with Jacko.
This baby, u we have said, grew to be
an old man, and lived to see his children's
children to the fourth generation. The
quaint one-story-and-a-half house,—gable
end to the street,--still stands, as it stood
then, in that old New England seaport.—
The sea-toga come in and cling to ,it lov
ingly, as they have done for mote than a
hundred years, preserving it from. decay.—
Births, and deiths, and marriages have oc
curred beneath its roof, bat never again, as
guest or playfellow, has gone in or out over
that hospitable doorstep the monkey,
It is customary, we believe, to have a
moral to the story, There should be one,
we are sure, to this bit of history.; and as
such, our young leaders may draw the con
clusion thii Jacks) would 'probably have
lived out all Its days In peace, plenty and
honor, If be tad not been so aly a thief,—
and so fond of the Dm barrel. .
