Carryl so beautiful,
Shi seems no child of Earth—
And where the lovely never fade,
She most have bad her birth.
Her he r ad that's tossing gaily,
Theblest abode might be,
Of faniies, each as angel's love,
In their blissful purity.
Her ringlets that are golden,
Willi can compare—
Rarest Of necks they're shading,
And sloping shoulders fair.
Her forehead's alabaster,
Where light blue veins are seen—
Her cheeks hare two sweet dimples,
To cradle roses in.
Her eyes—sparkling, yet tender—
.l cannot well decide,
If their light is morning's beaming,
Or moonlight on the tide.
Her tose, and chin, are fashioned
With exgaisiteness if grace—.
Her mouth has an expression
On which 'tis bliss to gaze.
Her voice 's a trill of music,
Loved most. when oft'nest heard—
Her heart with Love is freighted ;
And she's merry as abird.
Bat I fsai ; s.he is a fairy,
With her tiny wings concealed,
And only here will tarry
Till oar, hearts to her we yield.

For a fetrdays after leaving his bed, *if.

begun to return, his , old habit exerted , all its
former power, grid 'regardless of the terrible
warning he had had, he yielded to it.
Two - weeks afterifis reeovery,he was stiell•
ing about in search of work. His . face was
bloated and disfigured, and the haggard :ex
pression eaused by his siCkness, had not ;en
tirely left it. His dress was . a full and cern
plete uniform of the regular army of Alcohol.
A pair of coarse,:cast.off, satinet pitriS, that
were all - pockets; a dirty shirt of checked
calico, crossed by a single leather suspender,
and a faded cotton' cravat, that agennied no
sash responsibility as n collar, a torn glazed
cap surmounting his long, matted hair, ragged.
shoes, and a forlorn peen baize - jacket" con-1

that his .beard had been permitted to grow in
utter deknee of soap and razor for n-eeks,
and tew would have recognized in him, the one
whom. oar first chapter introduced.
Ho happeped to enter the street in which.he j
had formerly resid - ed,and walking on, before
the door of the very house_ which had once - ,
been his own, hp_ saw a heap of coals lying.
His last cent was gone, he must have more
liquor, and -he:rap*at the - basement door.
'Do you want these coals shovelled- in r he
asked the servant who canio.''.'
'Wait a moment, aird ni see: She returned
very shortly, told him yes, and handed him a
shovel. .He pulled off his apology forajacket,
and commenced the work. He could, labor
but slowly, for his strength was not yet entire
y recovered, and when it was about half done,
he seated himself 'upon the door step to rest.
A few moments after; a gentleman turned ,
adjacent corner, and came towards him. ' 1
-Is
this B.—street?' asked he of Wilmot.
It is, sir.'
The stranger would have passed without
s.aying more, but as Wilmot spoke, something
in his appearance attracted his attention.=
Coming closer, and looking steadily. at him.
'ls your name Wilmot?' he asked. .
Yes it is.'
'Frank! is this your• and ho gripsed the
wretched drunkard by, the hand, who then re
cognized his old friend and classmate—Eaton.
But he could say nothing, and turned hishead
away entirely overcome.
'l've been looking fOr Yon, for some days:
said &ton et length: 4 you be here half
an hour hence i I velsit very much to see

quick, for though his soursharp was defaced
and rusted, though" there was searcelya'string
that was notunstruag, and its music had alt
gone, since palsy had seized the hand .of the
player, yet there was one Chord which would
thrill, and did;to the touch" of kindness.

said Eaton. •
Very *ell, I'll be heie.'.

The speaker' seated 'himself very quietly

to court observation. • Ile was _dressed ip - a
plain suit of, black. His eyes, as he, lilted
,them now and then, were seen to be largo:and
expressive,-but their strange fire Was not yet
kindled.. His hair was black; and lay smooth
ly upon his broad and preniaturely wrinkled
forehead. Upon his fieetherawns n thought-

Exercises - commenced with a few introduc
tory remarks by' the.pr3sident A - prayer was
then offered by a elergyman; thm an odo ivas
sung, and afterit an address was delivered. by
another clergyman, and two or three brief
speeches followed. - "They were all excellent.
and contained - much which was new and ;in.
teresting to Wilmot -But they were made' by
individuals who had never suffered from 'in

he was not less so 'when the speaker:coin

was alinest brokendown with excessive bbor,
and one would almost wish the audience might
not breathe too 'hard -less it should Wow his

His introduction was very brief, expressing
a perfectly simple, modest manner his thanks
= to the nudfance for their kind reception; and
his increasiug determinStion to battle with the
fearful foe Intempemncewhililife and strength
were given him. Gradually his eye' began to
kindle, and his frame seemed acquiring strength
