WHILE THERE SHALL BE A WRONG UNRII3HTED, AND UNTIL “MAN’S INHUMANITY TO MAN" SHALL CEASE, AGITATION MUST CONTINUE. VOL. VI. THE PAUPER LIEUTENANT. I did not like to see him there. He was too young and His phrenologi cal developments good. He had a fresh complexion, bine eyes, light curly hair; but lack of decision characterized his counted nance—want of firmness was apparent in his manner. Ho was reading a newspaper. “That is not one of your paupers ?” said I to the gentleman in charge. “I am sorry to say that h«sjs sir,” he re plied. ‘■So young! so promising' in appearance— I reaUjroannot it,”waB pay'reply. Nor ctfuld any one not acquainted with his history ” was the reply; “but let- us resume our walk. By-and-by come Uris Way; ho will enter into conversation wilh you; he is hot backward about it I don’t know what to make of the man really.” “But how old is he “Twenty nine yeara;'helooka even younger, I fear he has lost all proper ambition, and it may be, he will end his life in the workhouse.” He wandered along from one to the other. The establishment was perfect; most of the paupers were old and infirm; many of them looked shamed-face on being noticed. Poor old men! I suppose they bad no children to care for them. In one of the offices was the model of a ship. It was a splendid thing. From keel to, mast head there was no fault in her. The guns were beautifully carved. Officers stood on her quar ter-deck, sailors ih her rigging. Every coil of rope, every shroud was exquisite in finish and proportion. The boats were secured, the sails all set. Truly, she was a regular object. Be hind this vessel was a painting representing the distant ports. My natulra. question was, “Who did that?” “The tfobr feUow is dead,” was the reply. “He was a genius and a scholar. The noblest looking man, sir, that you ever laid eyes on. You have seen that fine stone mansion on Sedg wick street? Well, sir he built that house ton years ago, and paid thirty thousand dollars for it, and yet, five jgarAfter, he was in the poor house.” “What did it sir?” “Rum.” That was the brief reply. Expressive, was it not ? “Yes, sir, rum. The last time ho went out (his eyes were very much inflamed) the doctor of the institution handed him a dollar saying, ‘Boh, if you drink any more, you will lose your eyes.’ ” Bob looked at the dollar, then turned to the doctor with a most expressive glance, as he said: “Then farewell the eyes !” “Horrible, wasn’t it? In a month’s time they were it was iu liio corner of the church-yard. Nobody followed the miserable body. It laid in a pine coffin, and we only said, as we heard of it—‘poor old Bob 1’ That’s all the epitaph a drunkard gets, sir 1” Fifteen minutes after, I was hunting up the personage who had interested me so much. 1 found him in the garden hoeing potatoes. We talked together on agriculture. His fine languge astonished me. I felt that he had an intimate acquaintance with boots, with men, with nature. We walked along, he showed me the products of the soil. Presently we camo to an arbor overhang with grapes, and sat down together. “Pardon me,” said I, “If I take the liberty of asking you what brought you here at so youthful an age ?” His eyes dropped, he raised them again as he answered— “Rum!” That brief word! In my mind it is associa ted with the horrors of hell. Presently he continued — ; “I have disgraced an honorable name) sir; I am bringing my family to shame, and yet—l have not the nerve to be a better man.” I was indignant at this confession. He saw it and continued— “Do not blame me, sir; you have not had my trial. I have fallen from a high place. Eighteen months ago, I was lieutenant in the navy, sir.” “Is : t possible 1” I was startled, shocked. “Yes, sir, possible ; a reality, sir.” Ilis lip quivered a little as he added—“l have a brother in the pulpit, sir; a fine preacher, a man loved and respected. How do you suppose he feels? I have a rich brother in New York. They both tried to save me. “I was ruined in my youth. There is a large oil store on the corner of M. and L. streets. — You have doubtless seen it. Before his death, my father carried on that business. I went there regularly after it was closed for the day, stealing from my home, often from my bed, for the purpose to carouse with three young fel lows of my own age. We told stories, we drank wine together till midnight, then with a false key I had made, I would steal into my house and. sleep off my carouse. I began that sir, when I was but ten years of age. Do you wonder I was a drunkard ? Of these boys, I alone am living. One of these boys shot him self, another was drowned drunk, and the third was hung for murder only two months ago.— The fourth you see, is not much better off,” he added with a sickly smile. “JXy habits began to be known at last to my parents. It came near killing them. Before X was eighteen, I had been brought home drunk nearly a score of times. Sir, I fought with my habit, but it mastered me. The fiend had me by the throat. “Strange to say, once when I was in liquor I performed a daring feat. I caught a runa way horse, and by sheer strength succeeded in arresting his mad course. Would that some power could have held me so. I was much ap plauded for my heroism. But better than all the praise I heard were the Sweet smiles upon the white face of the girl I had saved from a horrible death. She was driving alone in the city, as had been her wont for months. I claimed the privilege of driving her home, as she was most thoroughly frightened. You smile, sir; but the exertion, her graceful thanks, my own impulses of gratitude, had sobered me. I sprang into the vehicle, and in a short time we stopped at her father’s door. She invited me in. I thought I would at least describe tbo WELLSBOM, TIOGA COUNTY, PA., THURSDAY MORNING.

It Was the aged grandfather. Childish in his joy, he tot tered towards me, and throwing his trembling arms about my neck he kissed me on my cheek. “Many times have I felt that kiss, sir. I was unworthy ofhso pure an ovation fr im such “ Mytpan. unworthy of that dear- angel’s as the sweet [Annette came in a few'vnoments after still trembling, still pale, and with misty blue eyes and gentle lips thanked me again and again. In that house that day, I was feasted like a prince.

I lost my relish for vulgar dissipation, and preferred her society to that of my con genial mates. If I drank—and I t was secretly, and I alwaye. slept it off. My friends and those of Annette prophesied a match—you 1 qee my father was wealthy—l had goojl expec tations, intended to study for the law and was deemed a desirable catch. j “I believe I worshipped Annette. She was scarcely more than a child, but such a glorious, gifted creature. She was fifteen, I wenty; five years between us. We were engaged in twelve months from that time, whil i going through college. “For a year, I had successfully resifted my old disease. I called It a disease; I t o now. Remember Idid not let the cursed draught alone, as X should. loniy kept the app elite in unwholesome the knife, but not to the right place, an3~thetecane dis grace and downfall. “One night the students had a frolic. I was~ the foremost reveler. They tempted me with devilish pertinacity to drink to excess I did so, grew quarrelsome and raised a row. In the melee two of the students were injured, and I made so much noise that we were discovered in our revels. The blows that were given were proved upon mo falsely ; I never remembered that I gave them. I was convicted, (spelled and published. The disgrace was overwhelming, I -tried to X jtl kill myself when I heard that Annette's friends had cast me off forever. A note was pr tin my hands one day just as I had determined on the means to rid myself of existence. It re* ,d thus: “Dear Richard—l am mi-.T/U *.«», all thcj say, and surely a mun is not to be cast off for one false step. Come to Aunt Martha's this afternoon. They have forbidden mo to receive you at the house, but I will sec you there. Yours, as e ,r er, Akni tte.” inf “0! sir, that made my heart leap ilnto my throat with joy and grief. She did not know that this was far from my first ‘false sl ip.’ ” “Dear angel, she had faith in me and wanted to comfort me. Besides, she was young, im pulsive, loving. At three in the afternoon I went to the place she had designated. It was a poor, plain house, for her Aunt Martha was far from rich, and, as I sat in the little parlor. Annette came in and made it all alight. “Her low ‘dear Richard ! ” was the jsweetest music I ever heard. Then as I caugljt her to my bosom, she pressed back my hair with her loving fingers, and said with a smile thajt seemed angelic. "They can’t makej me believe you wicked, dear Richard, while I look on that face!" 1 “Her voice inspired me; her perfect faith for the time elevated my manhood. I silently vowed that such a thing should never happen again—that I would not die, bat make myself worthy of her. “You do not believe all they say of m 3 then 7” I asked. n ’• “No, Dick,” the beautiful eyes were raised ( lovingly to mine. “No, Dick, and I wouldn’t believe, though they have made you appear guiltier than you are. You know, Dick,” she added, as if to apologize for, to soften the ap parent reproof, “it is very, very wicked to drink at all." “But I did not injure the students,” I said evasively, “I distinctly saw Hal Burl and Joe White strike at them. It is all done through jealousy.” “I knew it; I told them so at home,” said Annette, triumphantly. “Said I, Dick is smart, and the foremost of his class, and they hate him for it. They will injure his good name if they can, but never in my estimation!” “God bless you, my love,” was all I could say. There were tears Ih my eyes and promi ses in my heart! O! she was so beautiful! so good that afternoon ! I can see the dear eyes that I have made shed so many bitter tears, looking up at me now with that same] soft, lov ing, pleading, yet trusting glance. I can seo the dear red lips with my name trcmtling upon them. *‘\V<- Itr "o to —■ disgraced home We parted. .togoto my disgrace note to meet cold, averted looks ; she to b( sheltered and petted and loved by all who kn:w her. — My father, with incredible exertion procured me a situation in the service. It the worst thing that could have been done for me, though as there was soon to be fighting, promotion—if I lived—was possible, nay, almost certain. But temptation was on that vessel, on d:ok and in her cabin. I took leave of Annette and went to sea. Once on the ocean. I forgot prudence, love, Annette, all things pure and g)od, in my devotion to the cup. There was wine at table. A dashing young officer who “took” to me had supplied himself with champagne and various liquors. 1 was always, to a certain extent, drunk. Our destination was Mexico. There, for the exhibition of drunken valor!, I was ap pointed second ’ lieutenant —before 1 had been third. Ah 1 sir, I lived a gay life. *ll dare not tell, nor even think of my excesses—they were horrible. Once again promoted, aodpame home with the honors of a first lieutenancy thick upon me. Then I was lionized. I Annette's friends forgot my weakness. The glitter of my epaulettes filled their vision. They could not see a drunkard in a uniform. X went to An nette’s home as I listed. “One night I called upon her. 1 had been drinking freely, and was not sensible of my situation, or I would have shot myself before I had ventured in her presence. She never looked more beautiful. What I said or did that night I never knew distinctly. I remem ber her wild look af affright—hot hands, push ing me frantically from her—her springing away and my chasing her—her cries of affright —finally her locking herself in her room, which I made fruitless attempts to enter, then my leaving the honse with the door open, and then comes a blank. “The next morning dawned upon me in the chamber of a friend- ’ As I looked up with 0 aching brain, a noble face bent over me, the face of one who had been a fellow collegian, and who was studying then for the ministry. \ “I asked feebly where I was, “ ‘Horace and I found you prostrate in the street a few rods from here. You were utterly helpless. We lifted you against your most im precating struggles ; you cursed us with every breath,'but we finally brought you here, and here you have slept till now. It wants a quar ter to eleven. I closed the blinds that you might sleep it off/ “I did not ask what be meant by it. I was ashamed ; too much ashamed to look at him. “I hinted at the effects of a southern fever, but from under my nearly closed lids I saw something like a sneer on his face. i “He sat down by my bedside, and he plead with me for an hour. For God’s sake he be sought me to break from this ruinous habit.— He held up the very flame of hell till I shud dered. Then he spoke of Annette, and I knew by the tremor of his lips, the huskincss of his voice, that he too, loved my darling. I had suspected it before, but now I was certain, and it roused the wildest feeling of jealousy. Madly I boasted of her unconquerable attachment, fool that I was 1 With a course, unskillful hand hared his own heart to his view, till ho shrunk agony. Then I arose, forgetting "'rjiis great favor in bearing ' as I was, from the me from all ingratitude" me senseless, disgus& clutches, of the police or watciiml the shame of opening ray eyes in house, and having my name bruited about in the public prints. “I went to the dwelling of Annette. I was ushered into a side parlor, where she lay upon a lounge, her cheeks as colorless as the dead, her largo eyes shining fitfully and looking as if they had been closed in sleep. A As I bent over her, she said, softly:— “ ‘Please don’t come so near me, Mr. Isling ton l mat as if 1 baa oeen suoi. mr. Islington 1' “I repeated my own name, looking at her with a wondering glance. “Oh ! if I could believe it was not you, but some other,’’ she said sighing in a weary way, and shutting her eyes tightly though not so as to prevent the tears that would ooze through. “What can you mean ?” I asked ; and my look of extreme increduality must have aston ished her. ■j “ ‘0 Richard, Richard, you don’t know what you said last night,” she cried convulsively, passionately. “You don’t—you can’t know what you did. 0, Richard, the very recollec tion crazes me.

Then, she caught my hand with impulsive tenderness, drew her head on my arm, as she said in a toue that haunts ma yet’: *.* ‘I will tell you a little, and then you must go. It will be for both of us, Richard— for both. It may break my heart; but it would be broken some time, you know. Richard, I cannot say in words what you said to me.— Now it would kill me to hear them. Oh 1 I never thought this would happen—after all I have said—all I have ielt for you. Richard you revea'ed some horrible things to me. Oh 1 were you so wicked in that foreign country- ? Did you love and deceive that poor Spanish girl? 0, God help you, poor Richard 1 God help you if you did.” “I sat stupefied—pale with horror. She looked once in my face, and shuddered as she said, brskenly ; ' “ ‘I could forgive all but that.” “I folt like a condemned criminal. For a while I sat there struggling for voice, and then I told that, however wicked I had been, I had* been, I had never deceived woman. “ ‘O, I am so glad 1’ she iaid, sinking from my arm to the pillow of the lounge. ‘But Richard, how can I forget last night. Don’t get down to me in that way. I know now—l knew then that you were not yourself; and for that reason, because yom will not conquer that fatal habit, we must part. Don’t say another word, my dear; weak and yielding as I seem, I can be firm. Remember that your own hand thrown the cup from your lips. I have tried to beleive’—her voice grew broken and sobbing— ‘l have tried so hard to believe that you were everrthing good and worthy. You don’t know how I have idolized you, looking on you as the saviour of my life. That is what I have said so often when they have reasoned with me—‘Fath er, he saved the life of your child. How can I help loving him ?’ O, yes, they all knew it, ev erybody knew I loved you. I never took pains to conceal it; but —now —l must.’ ” “I walked that floor in anguish of body and then went to her and said,— “ ‘Annebte you loqa that canting George Her rick better than you do me. Don’t dissemble; I know it all—know what bo thinks of you, the hypocrite!’ ” “I had lashed myaelf into a fury that was not to be calmed by hergentle repetition of my name—her pleading looks. “ ‘Yes, it roust be so.'

Again and again she essayed to speak, and again fresh tears and choking sobs followed. I was almost dying with shame, and the hot tears, pressed to my burning eye-balls, but I bit my lips and kept them back. My whole frame was shaken, but not alone with anguish. There was a scene held up before my soul —a black, digraceful scene. . “ ‘Only to say, dear Dick/ she gasped forth at last, ‘that if I live, I shall never, never marry anybody else; and if at anytime I know that you have thoroughly reformed, oh I then, if you will take me, and love me still, I will be yours; yours through all eternity.” “I kissed her many times, and, desperate, maddened, bating myself, and cursing mankind, I left her, for what?” His manner startled me ; his voice was hoarse and fierce. “To come to be a beggar and a pauper at the age of twenty-nine, through love of rum !” Another moment and I was alone. A fear ful page in the book of man’s history bad been unfolded to me. I shuddered as 1 left the ar bor. He who talked with me was no where to be seen. * * * * * Three years after that I was travelling in a stage coach, when an accident happened of a somewhat serious nature. The coachman was dragged from his seat and trampled upon by the horses, till hia body was in a shocking con dition. He was carried to the nearest house. I was somewhat injured, and not thinking it advisable to go on, applied for shelter at a pret ty cottage pointed out to me. The dpor was opened by the same young man who had told me the dismal story in the N poor-house. At first sight we recognized each other.

The reader can judge whether I was unmoved. Then he told me the history of his* finding Annette an orphan and; poor, earning a livelihood by her needle ; of his waiting and working three years, and now they were just married. “My Annette,” said the proud husband, pre senting her. “She has come in from a sick neighbor’s.” “Your wife is a lovely creature.

God. had written him “Greater than those who taka kingdoms.” Color and Drcssh_ You ought never to buy an article because you can afford it. The question is, whether it is suitable to vour position, habits and the rest of your wardrobe. There are certain clothes that require a carriage to be worn in, and are quite unfit for walking in the streets. Above all, do not buy wearing apparel because it is miscalled cheap. There is no such thing, and cheap clothes are dear to wear. The article is unsaleable because it is either ugly, vulgar or entirely out of date. One reason why you see colors ill-arranged is, that the different articles are purchased each for its own imagined virtue, and without any thought of what it is to be worn with. "Women when shopping buy what pleases the eye on the counter, forgetting what they have got at home. That parasol is pret ty, but it wilbkill by its color one dress in the buyer’s wardrobe, and be unsuitable for all the rest. An enormous amount of money is spent yearly upon women’s dress ; yet how seldom is a dress so arranged as to give the beholder any pleasure. To be magnificently dressed certain ly costs money, but to he dressed in taste is not expensive. It requires good sense, knowledge,- refinement. We have seen foolish gowns and arrogant gowns. Women are too often tempted to imitate the dresses of each ocher, without considering the differences of climate and com plexion.
