The Fate of a Drunkard. I=l When the dim and misty light of a winter's morning penetrated into the narrow court, and glinteggled-through_the begrirnard window of the wretched room s Warden awoke from his heavy sleep, and found himself alone. He rose and looked round him; the old flock mattress on the floor was undisturbed; everything was just as he remembered to have seen it fast, and there was no sign of any one, save himself, having occu r pied the room during the night. He inquired of the other lodgers and of the neighbors; but his daughter had not been seen or heard of. He rambled through the streets, and scrutinized each wretched face, among the crowds that thronged them, with anxious eyes. But his search was fruitless, and he returned to his garret when night came on, desolate and weary. For many days he occupied himself in the' same manner, but no traces of his daughter did he meet with, and no word of her reached his ears. At last he gave up the pursuit as hopeless. He had long thought of the probability of her leaving him, and endeavoring to gain her bread in quiet elsewhere. She had left him at last to starve alone. He ground his teeth and cursed her. • lie begged his bread from door to door. Every ' halfpenny he could wring from the pity or credu lity of those to whom he addressed himself was spent in the old way. A year passed over his head ; and the roof of a jail was the only one that had sheltered him for many mouths. !le slept under archways and in brick fields—any where, where there was some warmth or shelter from the cold and rain. But in the last stage of poverty, disease, and houseless want, he was a drunkard still. At last, one bitter night, he sunk down on a door-step, faint and ill. The premature decay of vice and profligacy had worn him to the bone.— His cheeks were hollow and livid ; his eyes were sunken, and their sight was dim. His legs trem bled beneath his weight, and a cold shiver ran through every limb. And now the long forgotten scenes of a mis spent life crowded thick and fast upon him.— He thought of the time when he had a home—a happy, cheerful home—and of those who peopled it, and flocked about him then, until the forms of his elder children seemed to rise up from the grave, and stand about him—so plain, so clear, and so distinct they were, that he could touch and feel them. Looks that he had long forgotten were fixed upon him once more ; voices long since hushed in death,-sounded in his ears like the music of village bells. But it was only for an instant. The rain beat heavily upon him; and cold and hunger were gnawing at his heart MEI He rose and dragged his feeble limbs a few paces farther. The street was silent and empty —the few passers-by, at that late hour, hurried quickly on, and his tremulous voice was lost in the violence of the storm. That heavy chill again struck through his frame, and' his blood seemed to stagnate beneath it. He coiled him self up in a projecting doorway, and tried to sleep. But sleep had fled from his dull and glazed eyes. His mind wandered strangely, but he was awake and conscious. The well-known shout of drunken mirth sounded in his ear—the glass was at his lips—the board was corered with rich food —they were before him, he could see them all— he had but to reach his hand and take them— and though the illusion was reality itself, he knew that he was sitting alone in the deserted street, watching the rain drops as they pattered on the stones; and that there were none to care for or help him. Suddenly he started up in the extremity of terror. He had heard his own voice shouting in the night air, he knew not what or why. Hark! A groan! Another! His senses were leaving him—half formed and incoherent words burst from his lips; and his hands sought to tear and lacerate his flesh. He was going mad, and he shrieked for help till his voice failed him. He raised his head, and looked up the long, dismal street. He recollected that outcasts like himself, condemned to wander day and night in those dreadful streets, had sometimes gone dis tracted with their loneliness. He remembered to have heard, many years before, that a home less wretch had once been found in a solitary corner, sharpening a rusty knife, to plunge into his own heart, preferring death to that endless, weary wandering to and fro. In an instant his resolve was taken ; his limbs received new life; he ran quickly from the spot, and paused not for breath until he reached the river side. He crept softly down the steep stone stairs that led from the commencement of Waterloo bridge, down to the water's level. He crouched into a corner, and held his breath as the patrol passed. Never did a prisoner's heart throb with the hope of liberty and life half so eagerly as did that of the wretched man at the prospect of death. The watch passed close to him, but he remained unobserved; and after waiting until the sound of footsteps had died away in the distance, he cau tiously descended and stood beneath the gloomy arch that forms the landing place from the river. The tide was in, and the water flowed at his feet. The rain had ceased, the wind was lulled, and all was, for the moment, stall and quiet—so quiet that the rippling of the water against the barges that were moored there, was distinctly audible to his ears. The stream stole languidly and sluggishly on. Strange and fantastic forms rose to the surface, and beckoned him to ap proach; dark gleaming eyes peered from the water, and seemed to mock his hesitation, while hollow murmurs from behind urged him onwards. fie retreated a few paces, took a short run, a des perate leap, and plunged into the river. Not five seconds had passed when he rose to the water's surface, but what a change had taken place in that short time in all his thoughts and feelings ! Life, life, in any form ; poverty, mis ery, starvation, anything but death; He fought and struggled with the water that closed ov'r his head, and screamed in agonies of terror. The cum of his own son rang in his ears. The shore—hut one foot of dry ground—he could al most touch the step. One hand's-breadth nearer, and he was saved—but the tide bore him onward, under the dark arches of the bridge, and he sank to th • bottom. Again he rose, and struggled for life. For one instant—for one brief instant—the buildings on the river's banks, the lights on the bridge under which the current had borne him, the black wa ter, and the fast flying clouds, were distinctly visible—once more he sunk, and once again he rose—bright flames of fire shot up from earth to heaven, and reeled before his eyes, whilst the water thundered in his cars, and stunned him with its furious roar. A week afterwards the body was washed ashore some miles down the tiwcr,a swollen and disfigured mass. Unrecognized and unpitied, it was born to the grave—and there it has long since mouldered assay. Origin of Odd Fellows The origin of the Order of the Odd-Fellows is of an ancient date. It was established by the Roman soldiers in camp after the Order of the Israelites, during the reign of Nero, the Roman Emperor, who commenced his reign A. D.. 5.3, at which time they were called Fellow-Citizens. The name of Odd-Fellows was given to this Or der of men (A. D. 79) by Titus Cmsar, Emperor of Rome, from their singularity of notions, and from their knowing each other by night as well as by day; and for their fidelity to him anti their country. Ile only gave them the name of Odd-Fellows, but at the same time, as a pledge of friendship, presented them with a Dispensa tion engraved on a plate of gold, having the fol lowing emblems, viz : the Royal Arch of Titus Cmsar, the Ark of the Covenant, the Golden Can dlesticks, the Golden Table, (weighing one great talent,) the Sun for N. G., the Moon and Stars for V. G., a Lamp for Secretary, the Lion for Guar dian, the Dove for Warden, and the Emblems of Mortality for the G. M. It is very probable that the first Odd-Fellows I made their appearance in North-Wales about that time, as an invasion was made by one of Titus Cassar's Generals (Agricola) on North-Wales, and shortly afterwards on the Island of Mono, now called Anglesea. The first account we haveof the Order spread. ing into other countries is in the fifth century, when it was established in the Spanish Domin ions under the Roman Dispensation, and in the sixth century by King Henry in Portugal, and in the twelfth century it was established in France, and afterwards in England by John DlCevilie, attended by five knights from France, who formed a Loyal Grand Lodge of Elonor in London, which Order remained until the reign of George 111., when a part of them began to form them selves into an Union, and a portion of them re mained until this day ; on this account the Lodges which remain, and are very numerous through out the world, call themselves Loyal Ancient Independent Odd-Fellows, being a portion of the original body. $1;00 PER ANNEII, IN ADVAIVCE.

Dr. Cumming said, at the annual meeting of the London Missionary Society— Another fact is that science has been lately com ing to its right mind. Some time ago, every man who had a smattering of science, discovered among its first axioms, that Genesis was a fable, and Christianity a dream. Some peering fool, using a very imperfect telescope, peeped into the sky, and saw vestiges of everybody in the uni verse, but none of God. Another dug into the bowels of the earth, and brought up beautiful gems and sparkling ores; but upon none of the gems could any one discover the autograph of revelation—on none of the ores the beauty and glory of him who made it. Another person proved that mankind have some half a dozen-. or perhaps twelve dozen—original parents, and the notion of our being descended from Adam and Eve was a perfect joke, a mere myth, the vagary of a doting person, called Moses. But what is the fact now ? Lord Rosse, an Irish no bleman, has directed his " monster telescope" to the stars, and the vestiges which he saw there, which others supposed to be the vestiges of everybody, have proved to be the foot-prints of a present God. Another has descended into the bowels of the earth; and instead of geology being found to be in dissonance with Christianity, it proved to be one of the strongest evidences of its truth. Others have penetrated, into the pyra mids of Egypt, and mummies have come fort*" from their sleep of two thousand years; bulls and monsters •net, as we had never ceived, have been dug up by the enterp,,,:: g Layard, from the ruins of Nineveh ; E2Cre:.ed fragments of antiquity have com 2 to us frJ:r. Herculaneum! and all with d:•ci.:ro that God's Word is true—: nic 13 , 1,1 e hoc "God for its aut:,or, its ,!nrlterlt, P.:.d everlasting happiness 1 . .}1 and object." The Great E!er:Ler.t el' za icr:. We speak of our civiiizat ion, et: ails, our free , dom, our laws—and forget entirely :argc a share is due to Christianity. Blot lout of man's history, and NV:i.lt would his laws have been, what his civilization? Christianity is mixed up with our very being and our very life ; there is not a familiar object around us, Iwhich does not saciir a different aspect, becanse - the light of Christian love is upon it; not a law which does not owe its truth and gentleness to Christianity; rot a custom which cannot be traced in all its holy, beautiful parts to the Gos pel. Education, to be permanent and true in its influence, must partake largely of Christianity as an clement—and our institutions, to be abid ing and trustworthy, and to work out all the good beginnings and just expectations of our fathers, must be leavened with the Christian ele ment of preservation. Dom' The human mind has an insatiable curl ' osity ; there is no end to its speculations and re- I searches. (lad God, to meet its difficulties, I given a rule of faith consisting of as many vol umes as there are chapters in the Bible, it would still have advanced its conjectures. Instead of setting it at rest, this would, therefore, only have thrown it into greater agitation. The bet ter way of arresting the flight of presumptuous reason, ever disposed to go beyond its proper limits, and at the same time to render its know ledge more sure, was not then to enlarge the volume of revelation, but to oblige man to re nounce his curiosity and pride. On this account it is the will of God that a great part of religion should consist of humility. 117 — In reading the Holy Scriptures, we cannot be too thoroughly penetrated with a lively sense of our insufficiency, as this will place us in deep dependence on the Spirit of God, and induce us fervently to implore his influences to abide upon us.' Even then, we shall really know the truth only so far as we experience its power. To ad vance in knowledge, new light must be dispensed by Him who is its inexhaustible source. That will be given us if we draw it down by profound humility, and a faithful improvement of grace already received. We shall lose that which we have if we proudly ascribe it to our own efforts, if we neglect prayer. 17:7 - It is an exchange, marvellously advanta geous, to give up the little one hes in order to acquire an inexhaustible source of riches. Put otr self, and God will clothe you with his grace.
