Iu IS vrc wtre Invited to addiess the
friends of temperance in the village of
Yu-rn . A Lodge of (rood Templars
JsaJjusi been instituted, aud had redeemed
tuifcc ot the most abandoned drunkards in
the place. lA'gions of devils had been cast
cut an I noble Uien given back ro their fam
ilies. The gentleman presiding over the
Lk-ctiiig iu the church, was a noble specimen
of a man ; tall, iineiy buiit, polished iu man
i.er, and with an eye and voice in which the
iL'Lt of a fu!!, grc-at heart were unuii&laka
l y blended. lie was dignilied and cc.in
n.aii'liiig, i"t-t gentle and unallotted as a
;.i!J. I ioved the man Lefore I had ever
tjhiced hii hund iu mine.
t.tht-rs were impre.-sed with the beating
r'iiie president of the day why sj nni -it I
could not understand, he being a citizen
wiiii whom they were familiar but a feel
int' of quiet beaming joy seemed to pervade
the va?t audience in attendance. There
wtre three ladies in the audience who more
e-1 eeia'ly appeared to la!or under some un
controllable emotiop. -They wept like, chil
dren, but their tears hardly seemed those of
orrow. 1 noticed that the chairman at
times oxil J hardly suppress his own feeliiiLS,
for his lips were pale and quivering, and his
voice was tremulous with the tiood ol. tear--beneath.
I saw here and there tears drip
ping upon other cheeks. It was a mystery,
lir the cxercices had not commenced, and L
l ad seen nothing t account for the tears.
Ati'l yet 1 was ware of it.
At the close of nv address, T appoaled lo
the people in behalf f the Lodge, and ak
ed tiicm if it had not wrought g'ett gjod iu
thei iniJst? Had it not redeemed some
kiz--n who was once the soul of honor?
Had it not restored some erring sou to a
viJ.jwcd mother? Had it nit made poms
1'aj'py. and filled some aching heart, with
11'ns iv) d?ep for utterance?
' It itaf! and thi widow's blessin? be tin
mi it, r.nd thejje-oinsis of the God of the
wihiw and the tatherlesi."
As if one heart pulsed in that audience, a
H?p and thrilling amen burst from every
1 p. the eldest of the ladies, before noticed
fas standing on her feet and weeping in the
iu!irics of joy. The ehairinan hid his face
in his hands, and his broad chest heaved as
fn!y that of a strong man can do, in such an
Lour.
In t'ie evening, the lodge met, and I was
pie sed to find the chairmain of the day the
VVurdiy (;hief, tilling the position with that
lire tact which few can boat Twenty
three were iniatcd by special dispensation.
;vl 'he glorious old altar glowed with the
kmdln: of-a more glorious ligb Hands
"ilt-ntly clasped hands ; tears answered tears;
si d through all, the calm smile ot a great
j''y shone out and warmed every heart.
Alter the business of the evening was
fo;i;,L'ted,the chaplain asko.l that the lodge
re-optti under the head of the good ot the
ord.;r. and the'tloors be thrown open to the
pc-ople who were throming the streets in
ir.int of the building. "This is not so much
for the people," Taid he, "as lor parties im
mediately hissed by our effort-here, and to
trim; together in holiest ties those whom
Mm has put asunder. Angels in bliss are
drawing aside the curtains at this hour to
witness a scene at this altar which will cause
jov on earth and in Heaven." '
The doors were thrown open, and like a
P'-n'-up 9 od, the people swept in and filled
"P the vacant space save that which had
pe.-n reserved. in front of thj a.tar. First
m that crowd were the three ladies I had
tK'Uoe.1 5m the chnrch. Silence secured, the
chajihin advanced into the open space and
f aid :
' Nowhere in life is the effect of ru.:i so
Sniel ainl desolating as it is at home. The
f'pts which a good God de-imed should be
Liens, are transformed into hells, where
hopes arc crushed out, lives turned to ga'l,
and the holiest ties which ever linked human
hearts, broken in agony and tears. The
piisland fercets the gentle heart vshh li cave

"Uut litre is a pool where the antel comes

be healed. Here there is bread enough and
to spare, and many hungry prodigals have
returned. We have seen them afar off. apd

whose love through the long dark night ol
the last five years, has clune with change
forth and once more join hands at our fra
ternal altar, before these brothers and neigh
bors here, aud God and His good angels in
Heaven."
I'ale, and reeling with terrible emotion,
the Worthy Chief stepped down and stood a
-moment as it crushed with fear, that he
would not be met by one whom I now under
stood as a divorced wife. The intensity cf
feeling manifested by these persons, can
never be pictured on paper; it was painful.
The suspense, however, was but for a mo
ment. With a sharp cry of joy, the lady
in black tossed her veil back from her face.
sprang iorwaid and grasped the extended
hand in her own baud and kissed it over
anct over pgfdn.
"Minoi" she sobbed in delicious joy.
"Mine I Mine ag;i:n ! O God, how can I
thahk Thee fur this? Mine at last, and j-ou

we shall be so happy."
Her 1.1, the picture of innocence and
trust, and nt exceeding beauty, glistened
with tear drops, wearing a smile of inde
scribable sweetness and joy was upturned to
his. With a simultaneous cry the long sev
ered hearts sprung together, and locked in
each other's embrace they were one atain.
While thus united tlifc chaplain repeated the
mania se ceremony. "Ac-d what God and
our reform has this hour Uni.'.ed, let no man
or rum put asunder. JJrothers, .salute your

"Brother! brother! iuv own, my noble
brother!"
The mother and sister fell upon the neck"
of the Worthy Chief of Lo die. and
never did the emblem of the Red, White
and Blue, receive a holier baptism. of" joyous
tears. Never-was there a scene on earth
more touching and sublime.
As we passed from the LoJa-a room, the
mother laid her hand upon my arm and in
vited us to spend the night with her. We
were g!aI" to accept the invitation, for we
wanted to learn more of what we had then
witnessed. Taking her arm we silently
walked homeward, for each heart was too
iu'! for utterance.
The widow was quiet, but happy, and for
a long time sat by the fire dreamingly, and
thea'wipwig away the tears that would find
their way ever the withered check. Av'e
communed with our own thoughts, r.nd lov
ed our cau-e better for wo: king such changes
in the desolate places.
While the tea kettle was sinking over the
blaze, which seemed to crackle and flash
wit h the new found joy, the table was spread
and plates set for ihree. In a little time
the sister came in. and stealing up to the
neither, kiVs:;d her tenderly on the cheek.
The silent act spoke volumes there was
happiness in t'teir hearts which such acts
alon : could express. Words could not have
told it so impressively.
While we were seated at the" table, the
mother spoke of thi Order ot Good fem
piars. as a secret society. We remarked that
the organization was not so really.
"A ucre matter of self protection," we
replied. -
"Vou have an oatlr which binds you to
keep that secret," and shedooked inquiring
ly into our eyes.
' oath but -that of our promises as
men of honor," we answered.
"If I tell you what the secret of your so
ciety is. will you admit the truth?"
Y e hesitatingly nodded asseut and she
began: ,
"You saw that man who presided at the
meeting this afternoon, and in the Lodge
this evening? He is my only son- He
married one of the noblest ot women atid
commenced life ten years ago with means,
character aud friends. His fall is a long,
terrible history a fearful nightmare which
1 hope has passed away. He forgot me,
forgot wifo, forgot sister, though we all
clang to him in the darkest times of his

I've suffered. For years I wrestled in

forsaken the widow and her sorrows. M any

him from the cradle, and sobbed aloud.
" 'Saved mother! do you hear that ? A

will you not, mother? And Amy shall not

"Oh, what an hour; was that, We have

The old woman had guessed it ; tire secret
was out.
A Word to Wives. Little wives! if
ever a half-suppressed sigh finds place" with
you, or a half- uuioving word escapes you to the
husband whom you love, let your heart go
back lo some tender word in those first love
days; remember how you loved him then,
how tenderly he wooed you, how timidly
you responded ; and if you can feel that you
have not grown unworthy, trust him for the
tame go:d-luck now. If ou do feel that
you become less lovable and attractive than
you then were. t urn by all you love on earth
or hope for in h .'ever. :ur l la k and hi the

and doubt not, the lover vou admire will !
live forever in your husband. Nestle . by
bis side, cling to bis lave, and let las confi
dence iu j-ou never fail ; and my word for it
the husband will be dearer than the lover
ever was. Above all things, do not forget
the love he gave you first. Do not seek to

Osrs MoTHEtt. Around the' idea of
one's mother the mind of a man clings with
fund affccTdon, It is the first dear thought
stamped upon our infant hearts, when yet
soft a'i 1 capable of receiving the most pro
found impressions, and all after' feelings are
more or le.-s lig! t in comparison. Our pas
sions and o;ir wilfit iiess may load us far
from the object of filial love; we may be
come wild, bcad-trong. and angry at her
counsels or opposition; but, when death
has stilled her monitory voice and nothing
but calm memory remains to recapitulate
her virtues and good deeds, affection, like a
flower bea'en to the ground by a rude storm,
raises up her bead and smiles amidst 'our
tears. Round that idea, we have faid, the
mind clings with fond affection; and even
when the earlier period of our loss forces
memory to he'silenf. fancy takf3 the place
of remembrance, an l twines the image of
our departed p irent with agarlandof graces,
and beauties, aiid virtues, which we doubt
not that se possessed.
Swiss Br.iDAi. Custom. A correspon
dent, travelling in Switzerland., writes that
the custom of making gilts to the bride pre
vails there, as everywhere, but he thinks it
is better legulated. The bride makes out a
written list of things she will require in be
ginning to keen house, especially those that
are over and above what would naturally be
furnished by her friends; and one of them
says, "I will aive her this." and marks that
as provided f r; another will give her some
thing else, and sometimes two or three more
will combine and furnish a more expensive
present thau any one would give alo'ie.
After the wedding the couple usually start
off on an excursion, and on their return
i they find their dwelling filled with these
! presents, each marked with the giver's
. name. -
