T*«K OI.D ( AIITMA.V AN EFFECTING STOUV I have n mind to tell a little story; a brief, yet a true one. About five years ago John Ainsley, or "Pap Ams'ey, 1 ' as' he was familiarly called, was the <Avner of a hand-cart, ami earned a living by conveying miscella neous packages from one part of the city to another, and receiving therefore the sum of fifty cents per load. I designate the occupation in the prosiest language possible, ie was a hand-cart, man and, when not employed, he could always he found on the coi'nor of Montgomery mid California streets. His hair and long beard were (pule gra> , and his limbs lee b!e ; and as he could not shove n< heav\ a load through the d« ep sand or up the p grade above him as the stalwart Teuton on the opposite corner, then by 10. ing manv a job aiid many ■■ dollar, all lie* light loads in the neighborhood fell io his lot, and Uindhearied men not nn frequently traveled a squuieor two on I «f their way to give an easy joh to old " Pap Ainsley.” Four years aeo last Scptenil er ■ 1 recoi led the month, lor 1 hud a note of loir thousand «b Hats to pay, <1 was emu pcl'.i d lo do -'ime pietty sharp finunciei • mg to meet ii,)havmg twoor three dozen viilmmp to transfer to my lodging-. 1 gave Pap Ainsley the task of li an>p..i la -11, Arriving at my room .just as lie had deposited the last urm-lul on the fa- IJe, and observing that the old man look ed fatigued alter climbing three lliiihi of stairs twoor three times, 1 invited him to take u glass of brandy— a bottle ol which I usually kept iu my room lot medical and sporilic pnrpo-es. Although gratelul for' the Invitation, he politely declined. 1 was astonished. " Ho you never drinksaid I. “ Very seldom,” ho replied, dropping Into a chair at my icquest and wipin ' the perspiration f»om i.is forehead. •* Well II you drink at mII.” I insisted "you will not find as lair an excuse in the next twelvemonth for indulging, for you appear fatigued and scarcely able to ttfoud.” "To be frank,” said the old man, “I do not drink now. 1 have not tasted In toxicating liquors for fifteen years since "Since when ?" I -inquired thought- Icssly, his hesitation The ohl man rohi me. Sixteen yenrf* imo lie wan a weM-to do fanner near Syra fuse, New York. He liml one eliilil, a daip'hter. While intending n hoalding salami in Unit elly, then a girl sixteen years oi a fit*, she tunned an attachment lor a young physician. Acquainting her lather with the clicum*la.ices, he Hally refufed liis consent to a union with u* man lie hail never seen, and removing her from school sent a note to t he young gallant wilh the somewhat pointed in formation that his presence in the neigh b'-rln oil of Ainsley farm would not meet with favor. . . The leader ofcourse surmises the re sult. for such a proceeding could have but one result in less lhan u month there was an elopement, The father loaded his double barreled shot-gun. and swore vengeance, but failing to lind the fugi tives, he look to the bottle. His good wile implored bTm not to give way to de spair, and he accused her of encouraging, the elopement. I In three months the wife died, ami at 1 the expiialion of a year, w*»en the yonng neople returned to Syracuse from Lon ueclh’Ul, wlut«- they had remained with the parents of the husband, they leain- d that th« old man hud squandered his money, and wa-almostdestnute. .Learn ing of tludr arrival, Ainsley drain* him self into a fren/y. and urm-eedLMl to the hotel where they were slop plug, allaeled the hiwhaiul, wounded him in the mm by a* pistol shot, alid.alteniuled to !.a|u* the hie of his daughter, who mippily c>- Ciiped uninjured thtoui;h the interposi tion of peisons- luou. lit to the i-poi. by the report of the pistol. • Ainslev was unv'-lid, tried and acquit ted on the plea of insanity.
