better-hearted vonth lived not i n
the town; and when le took the gentle
Alice for his wife, there was many a
fair maiden whose bosom gave place
to a kindly, wistful envy.
'flaw would not have robbed Alice
of her prize, but they only hoped that
their own lots might be a fin Innate.
Why should a cloud come upon that
house? Why should Alice weep?
fior the same reason that thou
sands of our fairest daughters weep.
Fur the saws reason that hot tears are
ever crying out their silent appeals

until they make a flood that fairly yell::

she knew how surely lie was falling.

because site could think that he would

too. well. And then sometimes' Alice
looked up into Malcolm's'face, and 'she
saw that its manly 'beauty was being
slowly but surely eaten' aW o my.. The
large blue eyes were growing thin,
bleared, and bloodshot, the once fair
cheeks were becoming swollen and
bloated;•and . the lips looked dry and
crackled. •No wonder she knelt down
by her .bedside aTI 'prayed. It was
now Saturday evening, and:Malcolm
Was phi (.;•''' out.
He was going to meet, some of his
friends, and Alice knew he .was

meet them at the tavern. He had
worked only three days •duringthe
past week, and he' had the' Pay for
thOse three days' work in his pocket.
That money was needed at home, but
where would it be on the morrow!
"MtNom, 0, do lint wholly forget

. But Malcom did not answer. He
kissed his %vile, however—kissed her
not as he used to do, but kissed her
mercy because she Inid asked llim to
—and then left the cottage.
After he had guile, Alice sat. down
and wept: She could not help it. Her
darling boy crept to her side and
placed 14 arras about her bonded
neck. He asked- - nu questions, but he
asked her nut to cry. - His little. mind
seemed to have some idea of the- coin
ing calamity. it must have heeu vague,
but it was clear .euough to prevent him
from forcing the dread thoughts upon.
his mother. Once more he asked her
nut to cry, and theii his own little
heart burst, and the mother and child
wept together.
This was another" drop in the poOr
wife's cup of affliction. U, how pal-:
pable inti.,t be liar husband's course
now, when even her prattlin; child
saw and knew the danger! 'lint she
could only clasp her boy more tightly
to her pain-,.tucked bosom, and pray
more iervently. And tilt! little boy,
whoa his mother had done praying,
exclaimed, •‘Anien!"

Malcom Warren stepped out into the
street, he seemed . to ‘snake himself as

And finis speaking, the young- bus=

though he would hold on upon the
he had express'ed, and then he
hastened on: • At length he reached
