'Many .a wid ow looks to those haunts of infaniy aa the scene where heiltusband forgot her plight ed vows„and entered the path that led him to a drunkard's grave. Many a ,mother still mourns over buried hopes, which but for those scones. ,of dissipation might have been the support and comfort of her &di mug .years.: . .. Early in the Washingtonian movements, this place became the theatre of active op eratiens among, the friends of the temper-- mace reOilin, and earnest, and noble efforts wore made to arrest the. ,progresa of the evil which was sending such numbers to a drunkard's. grave.. Among those who were ithltieed to sign the pledge was a man whom I had regarded as being utterly be fond any hope of a partial reform. L— was notorious for his intemperance. The tavern was his constant resort, where ho I spent his time and his money. Scarcely a day p3Fsed, that he might not bo seen there, hiS unshaven face, his Matted locks, his fie - useless and atratiga eye, his reeling form, a fitting testimony to the work of ruin that was there curried on. It had scarcely entered the mind of the most sunguinc fricud of the cause, that Ito could beinduced to attempt, oveu,ll, reformation, or if so, that any permanent change could be effected. llis old friends boasted that ho would bo back with thorn before the ' wecli was ended. To the surprise of all, kept his pledge, and indicated a manly determination to break off from his hateful and ruinous practices. Fora long time I missed from the street the poor and :wretched inebriate, but was told that ho was at work steadily,nud remained' 'faith ful to his promises. One Sabbath "noticed ameng my con gregation a. tall, well-dressed stranger. a gentleman iu appearance, and a serious and attentive listener to the services of the hour. At the close of worship I in quired who he was, and was asked in re ply, Why don't you know L—? I could scarcely believe my eyes, the transforma tion was socomplete. The pledge had worked wonders, though is - needed ; , some thing more to perfect the work, by renew• al. of the heart. On inquiry, I learned that he had wholly deserted Me tavern, anti avoided passing it, if possible, for fear of relapsing into his old habits. needless to say how this change was telt in his family, to which tar years ho lad been the source only of sorrow and shame. Several months after, I was called upon by tt former companion of this man,. him self refor med drunkard, and asked me to go and , who was tick and probably dying. I wds.sliocked to hear of his illueas, and more so when I learned its cause. For nearly a year and ,a half he hail been free from his old habits, and firmly resisted all attempts to draw hitu back into his formei associations. The had of the tavern at whose bar he had for years fed his appetite, end sipandered the means which . ought to have been given to his family, boasted publicly that he would make him break his pledge ; and hod often tried without success to necntoplish his fiendish purpo ses. One fatal day, as ho was passing , his old hauuts, he was told that a person wish ed to see him within, on 'Special business. Tie entered the bar-room, unsuspecting any mischief. As he looked around hint, he saw many of his formerissociatits, Still pursuing their career of vice and 'sbaMe i while at the bar, stood the, man who' had lung, supplied him with the draught of death, and who now: approached him with a glass of brandy, whieltlmasked. 1.1/111 to drink. The unhappy mattfirinly, and no bly replied : q.,have been,free from this habit for More than a year. I. have seen my family restored to happiness. I ant Once more respeeti3d:' •'A single glass wind& bring on my old appetite and ruin With an oath, tho tavern' keeper re plied : "You shall drink - it .'" and pour ) fug gut, some upon his hand Morced it a- I gaiust his lips., The poison was thus tAlt. I ed, and the wnrk was done. The slum bering appetite awoke again, and , revived with tenfold intensity. In Idea than three months he was prostrated ,with delirium tremens,' and I was called to see 'him Fe lowing-hie friend, passed on to a poor and dilapidated house, and' ascending a pair of stairs that cracked and tromblod at every tootstep,'l entered 'the hence of the 4dnkard.- Everything showed that the Work of ruin was complete: The evil spirit, for a time banished from his boioth, had returned' with "seven' others' worse than the first." In three months' 'all hiS earnings had gene, to fatten mew whom the law had licensed,for the public Rood to ruin the peace and happiness, of society. On a miserable bed, lay the victim of a traffic that is evil end only evil ;; his eyes starting from their , sockets; his, limbs trembling with an, uncontrolled agony; his hreath short and convulsive ; his , countenance denoting an unearthly horror, and his'groans seeming like the prelude to the sorrows of hell. By his side stood his broken hearted wife, with her children pale and war, ; and over a few brands that smouldered upon the hearth, a half drun- ,, ken associate was trying to warm some gruel for his food. It was- a scone for an artist's pencil, that desolate room, affairist whose broken and patched wiudows howl ed the winter's wind, and whore death was doing its fearful work. I could do nothing for the` unhappy_ Matt.

''To converse with him was useless ; he •heard me not. I could only koeetand commend his afflicted family to God. Two days af ter, I was, called to officiate at his 'funeral. His pall-bearers were twelve of his oktas sociates. I felt that on such an occasion my duty was to tho living and not . to the dead ; and so selecting for 'my text, the warning of the wise man : "And thou shalt mourn at the last, when thy- flesh and thy body aro contained, and say how have .I hated instruction and• despised reproof," I sought to set befoto his coin pantoos the bitter element's of sorrow they were preparing. for 'themselves in death and eternity. I have often thought of that scene, What was the act but mur der, that Sent that luau to tho druukand's grave ? And yet around. jam as, whe;o bar his appetite was fed, and by whoie horrid not he was drawn twiny .front the paths of virtue, the law threw ita protee4 tion, and sanctioned his waholy traffic.- 0 could it have no pity and care for ,the helpless family of his victim: Must lib erty and' the Cinistitittfon — be forevee pressed into the service of men whose on ly work is ruin and death.

Tito Groatnotto of Little things. In Lieut. Maury's recent work on the Physical Geography (Atilt) Sea, ho the result of microscopic examinations of some shells drawn up from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean where it is more than two miles in depth. Theie• shells are so minute that to the naked - eye they:appear like common dust or clay, altbough not a grain of sand is among .them ;. and yet are so presertimPthat their most delicate edges are perfect. It' would require a larger graie to hold all the small insects of the world than all the elephants: Thu smallest insects of. the ocean, Um* larg est, are .the most important occupants, and the microscopic shell-fish create more im portant changes than the whales. It haS been the great error'of historians, statesmen and politicians, to loose sight of this truth. They look entirely at the whales, the big fish, and t wain' to consider these as the monarchs of the deep sea of politics, and they alone have a right to swim:..., there.., If .;he .French Emperor .
