The Katldldos Answer to Katy.
Oh, Katy, dear, you know you did, at midnight'.
silent hour,
Stool sofily thro' the moonlight, to this my pleas-
ant bower ;
Ard here, beneath its vines and braves, by blush-
in* mom
You met the er►n •ou love, Kity, you did, you
know you did.
And here you leaned upon his breast, his art•
was mend your waist,
Yost band was locked in his, Kau, and when he
stooped to taste
The nectar that was on your lip, how gentle was
he chid;
You loved to hear his whispered vows, you did,
you know you did.
The moon was in the sky, Kate, the stars were
watching there,
The genuine breath of summer right was sporting
in your hair ;
I listened to dour words, Kate, though soft and
low they fell,
I heard them every one, Kate, and if I would,
could tell.
Bat never fear me, gentle one, nor waste * thought
or tear,
Lest I should whisper what I heard in any mortal
ear,
I only sport among the boughs, and like a spirit
hid,
I think on what I saw and heard, and laugh out
'Katy did.'
I are among the leaves here, when evening zeph
yrs sigh,
And those that listen to my voice, I love to my►•
tify.
I never tell them all I know, sltho' I'm often bid,
I laugh at curiosity and chirrup 'Katy did.'
I would not make you blush, Kate, your innocence
I know,—
I knew your spotless purity is like the virgin
Mow,
And yet you'd better not, Kate, although you
think you're hid,
Steal to my bower by moonlight, as once you
know you did.

THE TEMPTATION.
"Mary, he stands upon a fearful brink,"
said Edith Warner, as she clasped iu love
the hand of her friend.
"I cannot calmly see him pursue the
downward path, without one word from
you to check him in his career."
" Why, Edith, how serious you are,"
said Mary Ellis, with a light laugh.—
"What effect would all I eau say have up
on him 1 Aud, besides, I apprehend no
danger in his takinga little generous wine."
•'lie who raises the wine-cup to his lips
once," said Edith, solemnly, "is in danger.
However cautiously he treads that mazy
path be will find a stinging serpent amid
the flowers. Could you bear to see him
going the way of the inebriate, and at last
lying in the drunkard's loathsome grave ?
Oh, Mary, think seriously of these things
before it is too late."
"If I could see the peril you fear, I con
fess it would give me greet sorrow; but,
no," said Mary, with animation, "he will
never debase his noble intellect with ine
briety. Ile is too generous to crush the
high hopes of his friends ; too ambitious
to trample all his bright prospects in the
dust ; too good," she contiued, blushing,
"to destroy the happiness of those that love
him."
"Are they only the weak, the unambi
tious, the unloved." said Edith, "who are
laid low by the fell destroyer Alcohol 1—
Ah, no ; often, oh, how often, the young,
the lovely, the good, fall recklessly into
the fatal snares. Look at the foulest blot
in our village. Life to him was once all
sunshine. My father knew him in his
youth, as a man of great promise, esteem
ed and beloved ; but did his bright hopes
save him from the abyss in which he lies 1
Oh, Mary, delay not. Throw all your good
influences around Harry ; for, alas l I fear
you do not realise how heedlessly he is
hastening his own destruction."
"I will ponder what you say," said Ma
ry, thoughtfully, as she arose to accompany
her friend to the door.

It was a resplendent evening, and the
two friends seated themselves beneath the
trees, to enjoy for a few moments its beau
ties. But few words passed their lips,
for the remarks of Edith had made a deep
impression on the heart of Mary ; they
had loft a weight there not easily removed;
and Edith had no wish to disturb the
thoughtful mood, that might result in her
own and Harry's good. Well known, fa
miliar voioes came wafted on the still night
air to their ears, in earnest conversation,
as too young men passed along the street.

GETTYSBURG, PA., FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 11,1853.
night rose before her like an accusing an
gel, when she offered the wine cup to Har
ry's lips.
"Mary," said ho with a smile, as he
waved it from him, "I shall never again
quaff that dangerous beverage. Help me
to be firm in my determination."
The thoughtless girl wet her lips in the
syarkling foam, and again proffered it to
him. Could he refuse it then ? The
tempter stood before him, in the form of
her he loved. Ho yielded, ho foil.—
Where was that godlikepurpose, earnest
of a glorious fruition ? Quenched in the
foaming nectar.
0, she would lay down her life to recall
that hour, but, "too late, too late," rung
like a death knell in her ear. Despair
fell like a great shadow on her spirit. A
lone in the darkness, with her concionce
and her God, she plead for forgiveness
and strength. With the morning light
oame soothing words from Edith, "Even
in the eleventh hour there is hope," ands
hope, faint and feeble, like the glimmer
of a lamp to the s hipwrecked mariner,
sprung up, that she mightyet save him.
With her whole soul she wrought for
his salvation, and hope would rise and
rise again, on buoyant silver wings, to fall
into utter darkness. Again and again did
she promise to risk all, in his keeping, if
after a few short months of probation, he
still remained in anstinence ; and as often
would that cherished promise be unavail
ing, to keep him from the toils of sin.
Once more he sought her forgiveness,
and gained it, he knew for the last time;
and valiantly he fought with his insatia
ble appetite. Eight months passed—the
goal was almost won. Their sun of life
brightened, and shed a warm glow over
their hopeful future. Castles, with gold
en turrets, gleamed in their imaginations.
Glorious visions danced daily before them.
A thousand plahs wore discussed, that
seemed almost aceotnplished.
Must that radiant sun go down in dark
ness? the glittering castle sink in clouds?
those glorious visions pale in despair?
One evening Mary sat listening eagerly
for the welcome sound of his foot-step, her
fancy wreathing for futurity a chaplet of
brilliant gems, when, hark, it is his step,
but—O God, it falters, it waves I—"Savo,
0 save me from this hour," cried Mary,
with ashy lips and clasped hands.
He entered, and with unnatural hilar
ity commenced bantering her on her
forlorn appearance. Sli stood' for a mo
ment, bereft of utterance, then with wild
and frantic energy exolaimed
-0 Harry, 'tie past; my dream of happi
neer is dead. The hope that I have dared
to cherish in my heart has recoiled, lihe
a venomous serpent, and poison'tid its
life springs. Life has no smile for me,

LUC .
Ile stood gazing into her face, with a
vacant stare, as if not comprehending her
vehement words, and then his awful situa
tion came rushing upon bin' with the
force of a thunderbolt. Overcome with
wine, passion and grief, he caught her hand
in his iron grasp, and showered upon her
head the most dreadful - reproaches. He
placed his promise of happiness in time
and eternity, in the seal3 . against her cruel
temptation. He cast the wreck of all his
prospects, his principles, his love on her
hands, and left her forever, with a curse on
his lips.
He left his native State, and became a
wanderer. Little did she hear of him, but
that little was ever the same, onward and
downward, till at last she lost all trace of
his existence.
Had life one gleam for her ? not one.
She oared not to live, she dared not to die ;
but the tide of misery surged on and on,
enveloping her in the cold, dark waves of
despair. Years passed, and she moved on,
her eye robbed of its light, her step ofelas
tioity, aimless, without a joy, unable to
catch one glance of the white-winged dove
of Peace ; when the wailing of thousands
in the land roused her from her lethargy ;
a cry to 'come over and help us,' a cry for
assistance in the battle against the demon
ALcOOOL.
Then her heart beat with new lite, and
she vowed herself a champion to fight with
the Philistine. Her soul was arrayed in
Ibis battle of the Lord's, and be bleat her
efforts. Though life's pleasures had all
drooped and faded, yet shit had a holy put
pose for wbioh to live sod struggle, a glori
ous end to gain, and she rested trustingly
on Ills all-saving arm.
Ten years had .wheeled their circling

My all-merciful father heard the prayer of

and his voice again sunk almost to a sob,
'oh where is she ? Perhaps long ago laid
in her grave—a longed-for place of rest—
or perhaps she lives, remembering that
night but as a dismal dream, and the
being who cursed her, but with loath

He ceased, when a wild cry pierced the
silence, and emote mauy a stout heart with
fear—and Mary Ellis, forgetful of all save
the glorious being before her, like one ris

the speed of an arrow, and in one moment
