"Como, Ady and Jane. it's time you were in bed," said Mrs. Freeman to her two little daughters. about nine o'clock one evening. Ady was nine • years old, and Jane but a year and a half younger. The two children had been sitting at the work table with their mother, one of them study ing her lesson, and the other engaged on a piece of fancy needle-work. •"l'apa hasn't come home yet," answer ed Ady. "No, dear, but it's. getting late, and it is time you were in bed. He may not be home for an hour." Ady laid aside her work and left the table, and Jane closed her books and put them away in her school satchel. "You can light the little lamp on the mantle piece," said Mrs. Freeman, after a law moments, and looking round as she spoke, she saw the children had both put on their bonets, and were tying their warm capes close about their necks. She under stood well the meaning of this, and there fore did not ask a question, although the tears came to her eyes, and her voice trem bled as she said "It k very cold out to-night, children." "But we don't feel it, mother;' replied Ady. "'We will run along very quick." And the two little ones went out, before their mother, whose feelings were chok ing her, could say a word. As they dos ed the door after them, and left her alone, she raised her eyes upwards, and murmur ed, "(40(1 bleats and reward the dear chit dren." i was a black winter night, as the little adventurers. stepped into the street; the wind swept fiercely along, and almos t drove them ba , di into the door. But they caught each other tightly by the hands, and bend ing their little forms to meet the pressure, hurried on the way they were going as 6ist as their little feet could move. The streets were dark and deserted, hut the children were not afraid. Love filled my heart and left no room for fear. D.HEAGA They did not speak a word to each oth er as they hastened along. After going for a distance of several blocks, they stop ped before a house, over the door of which was a handsome ornamental gas lamp bear ing the words, °Oysters and Refresh ments." It was a strange place for two little girls like them to enter, and at such an hour; but after standing for a moment they pushed against the green door, which turned lightly on its hinges. and stepped into a large and brilliantly lighted bar room. "Bless me !" exclaimed a man who sat reading at the table, •here are those babes again." Ady and Jane stood still near the door, and looking all around the room. But not seeing the object of their search, they went up to the bar, and said timidly to a man who stood behind it, pouring liquor into gl asset. "Has papa been here to-night The man leaned over the bar, until his face was close to the children, and said in an angry way-- 1 don't know any thing about your fath er. And see hitre 1 don't you come hero any more. If you do, I'll call my big dog out of the yard and make him bite you." Ady and Jane felt frightened, as well by the harsh manner as by the angry words of the man, and they turned back from him, and were turning towards the door with sad faces, when the person who had first remarked their entrance, called loud enough for them to hear him— • Come here, my little girls." The children stopped and looked at him, when he beckoned for them to ap proach, and they did so. •Are you looking foryour father ?" asked. "Yea sir, replied Ady. "What did the man at the bar say to you ?" • "lie said that papa was'nt here; and that, if we came any more, he wont(' set hid. dog 'on us."' "fie did 1" • ' • " "Yes sir."

"No; and I !lever Wish to again, at lout in this place. Who their father 1" "Freemen, the lawyer." "Not the one who a few years ago con ducted with to much ability, the case a gainst the Marine Insurance aompany I" "'l'he same."• "Ia it possible'?" A little group now formed arqund the man, and a good deal was said about Free man and his fall from sobriety. One who had several times insen Ady and Jane come in and lead him home as they had just done, spoke of them with mud' feeling, and all argued that it was a most touching scene, "To see," said one, •how passively he yields himself to the little things when they ecnne after him. I feel sometimes when I see them, almost weak enough to shed tears." "They are his good angels," remarked another. "But I'm afraid they are not strong enough to load him back to the paths he has forsaken.." "You can think what you please about it gentlemen," spoke up the landlord. "but I can toll you my opinion upon the subject : I would'nt give much for the mother who would let two little children like them go wandering shout the streets alone at this time of night." One of them who had expressed an inter est in the children, felt angry at these re marks,and he retorted with some bitterness, "And I would think less of the man who would make their father drunk !" "Ditto to that," responded one of the company. 'And here's my hand to that," said s oother. The landlord finding that the majority of his company were likely to be against him, smothered his angry feeling, and kept silence. A few minutes afterwards, two or three of the inmates of the bar-room went away. About ten o'clock on the next morning, while Mr. Freetnani who was generally sober in the fore part of the day, was in his office, a stranger entered and after sit ting down, said : must crave your pardon before hand for what I am going to say. You will promise me not to be offended!" If you offer me an insult I will resent it," said the lawyer. "So far from that I come with the de sire to do a great service." Very well--say on." "I was at Lawson's refectorylast night.', "Well?" "And I saw something there that touch ed my heart. If I slept at all last night. it was only to dream of it. lam a father, sir: I saw two little girls, and I love them tenderly. 0, air 1 the thought of their coining out, in the cold winter night, in search of you, in such a poluted place. makes the blood feel cold in my veins." Words so unexpected, coming upon Mr. Freeman when he was comparatively so ber, disturbed him deeply. In spite of all his endeavors to remain calm, he trem bled all over. Ile made an effort to say something in reply, but he could not utter a word. "My dear sir," pursued the stranger, "you have fallen at the hand of the mons ter intemperance, and I feel that you are in great peril. You have not, however, fallen hopefully. You may yet rise, if you will. Let me, in the name of the sweet babes who have shown in so won derful a manner their love for you, conjure you to rise up superior to this deadly foe. Reward those dear children with the high. est blessings their hearts can desire.— Come with ine and sign the pledge of free. dom. Let in, though strangers to each other, unite in this good act,--Come !" Hall bewildered, though with a new hope in hie heart, Freeman arose, and suf fered the man, who drew his arm within his, to lead him away. Before they eel). ['rated, both had signed the pledge. That evening, unexpectedly; and to the joy of his family, Mr. Freeman was per fectly sober when' he came home. After tea, while Ady and Jane were standing on either side of him, as he sat near their mother, an arm around each of them, he said in a low whisper, "You will never have to come for me again." The children then lifted their eyes quickly to his face, but half understanding what he meant. "I will never go there again," he added; "I will always stay at home with you." Ady and Jane, •now coinprehending what their father meant, overcome with joy, hid their faces In his lap, and wept for very, gladness. LOW as all this had been said, every word reached the mother's ear; . and while her heart yet stood trembling , between hope and fear, Mr.,Freentan drew a paper from his pocket and threw it on the table by which he was sitting. She opened it hastily. ft was a pledge with his well known signature subscribed at the bottom. With a cry of joy, she sprang to his side, and his arms encircled his wife, as well as his children, in a fonder embrace) then they had knoWn for years. The children's love had saved their fath er. They were indeed his good angels. Tim Susses Twiss..+-The death of the Siamese is contradicted. The N.

May his solemn words be treasured up by all who desire the peace, the happiness and the perpetuity of our Tree institutions I May sectional jealous y. fanatical rage, the accursed ambition for notoriety and power, the low appetite for place and its emoluments, and the spirit of political rivalry. be banished forever from the Conned Halls of the nation.
