people talking bidding each oilier good

Amongst them was an old gentleman I
knew by sight, or.e of the shareholders ;
he was bidding two timid girls adieu.

A sad example ot the power of the ap
petite for intoxicating drinks, was brought
to oar notice, a few days since. Iu 1SGI
a young man recently married, in a 5t of
mania it potn. killed his father for tefm
in him liipuor. The murderer was tried
and sentenced to perve a term i f twenty
years in the State prison. His y.inn
wite and mother interceded with the
autboriiies to obtain his pardon, on the
ground that lie was itifjiie. The Jud'e,
the jury, which convicted him, the At-torney-Oeiieral
were all by turns entreated
by the wife, who rarely forsakes her hus
band, aud by the mother wiio cever for
sakes her son. These; two uoliring sup
pliants were discouraged by uo refusal cr
repulse ; but persisted for ye;:rs in thuir
entreaties. Iu the meanwhile the convict
awakening tt n sense of his guilt iu the
seclusion of the Penitentiary, to which ho
was doomed f-r the flowe;' !, i life,
showed Mns JJCJ't'L't'S3-8.,21 upblied
himself so faithfully aud industriously t-
his tasks, that he wa? tha favorite of the
keeper. Finally the case was brought be
lore Governor Ilrowulow. Nearly six
years had already beeu spent in prison bv
him. whose pardon was asked for by the
wife and mother. Afier careful examina
tion the Governor released the prisoner
ou condition that he was to abstain from
all intoxicating diinks, wiih ihe warning
that if he fhould break his pledge be
should be taken back to prison. The maa
kept his promise, and remained s-oer for
six weeks, and was then taken up by the
peiice iu a state r-f intoxication. The
Governor hearing of his relapse, in order
to preveut the miserable man frmi taking

immeJiutelp tciuauded him to prison.
