Judge" Ko.o lived in Ik-llville, on the banks of a great river in the West. Every year he went to Washington and Ins voice was often beard in the halls of Congress. Yet though he was called great, he was not good, because he was very fond of drinking wine, brundy, &c-, and frequented the gambling room.-, so numerous in the city. 1 hese habits gain ed upon him daily, until they conquered all his moral strength. His townsmen refused to send him as their delegate any longer. dodge Kosc had an amiable wife and throe pretty daughters. Mary, the eldest i daughter, was his special pet. lie thought ! more f her than he did of himself, and i nr wish of hers went unsalaried. She ! was of a sweet disposition, arid so obedi ; cut and respectful to her parents and kind i to every o ie about, that she was beloved ! by everybody. And though her father's i dwelling was the most elegant, and they had beautiiui grounds and servants, and horses and carriages, and fine clothes, she never put on airs as many do, but was modest and retiring. Mr. Kose and his wife and daughters were all members of a Christian church I Ie was often suspended from Ids fellow ship, und on promises of repentance re ceived again. His influential position m society, and the pious conduct of his wife and daughters, caused much pity for them. and elicited much patience. They hoped i by lovo and forbearance to restore him wholly. 15ut all the love of his family and of the church, could not stop this er ring man in his downward course. At last so low did he fall as to lose all self-respect, and frequent the lowest whis key hops in town. Daily he went out unshared, unwashed, ragged and almost naked, and when drunk would sing a low song which would draw around him a crowd of boys, to jeer and. laugh, and scorn the once dignitied Judge. In per sonal appearance he was now the lowest of the low. It is not to be supposed that Christian and temperance men allowed such a man to ruin himself without efforts to save him. rfarnest and persevering endeavors were put forth, prayers were offered up, and his family left no avenue to his heart unentered. But all were alike useless and hopeless. His wife and daughters wept and prayed, but despaired entirely. Mary, his pet, often labored to save her father from open disgrace, if not from private sin. She became very sad, and refused to attend church or go into socie ty. When her father was sober he had sense enough to see the sorrowTul change in his once happy Mary, andseemed to regret his course more for her Bake than for his own. One morning he started as usual for the drinking shop. He was a horrible object, indecent to look at, as w;ell as filthy. His wife tried to hold him back, and get him, at least, to put on some decent clothing but h would not yield- Mary made bej jirlctt JJoftrg. appearance by his side bare armed and bonnelless, with an old whiskey bottle in her hand. Taking her father's arm she said : ' Come, father, I'm going too." "Going where?" said he, starting at her if horror 6truck. "To the dram shop. What is good for j'ou is good for me." Then she began to flourish her bottle and sing one of the low songs she had heard him sing in the streets. " Go back, girl, you are crazy. Mother take her in." " But I am going, father, ' with you to ruin my soul and body. It is of no use to me to be good, while you are going off to the bad place. 1 ou II be lonely there without your Mary." " Go away, girl, you II drive me mad. "But you have been mad for a long time, and I am going mad too. What do I care, my father is only a poor despised drunkard, his daughter may as well drink and lie in the gutter too." So Mary pulled away at her fathers arm and went on to open the gate. He drew back ; still she dragged on and sung the louder. A few boys began to run towards them, and then her father broke from her hold, and went into the house. There he sat down, and putting his face in his hands, wept and sobbed aloud. Still Mary stayed out. "What is the matter?" asked Mrs. Kose. " Mary is crazy, and I made her so. I wish I was dead. Do go- and get her in, T won't go out to-day." Mrs. Hose went out and told Mary w hat her father had said, and then she went in. She sat down with her bottle in her hand, and all day kept on the old rags. Mr. Kose was in a terrible state for the want of his accuntouied stimulant, and frequently would go to the door, but Mary was ready ai Lis side on every oc casion. Mrs. Rose prepared her meals with extra cxyy, and gave her husband two cups of coflle, and the latter part of the elay lie laid down to sleep. When he woke up Mary was still there in her rags, and her bottle by her side. With much trembling and shaking he put on a good suit of clothes, and asked his wife to send for a barber. Then after tea lie said, " I am going out." "Where!" " To the tcmerance hall. Go with mc and see if I don't go there." So Mrs. Kose went with him to the door of the hall, Mary still saying: " I must follow, for I'm afraid he will go to the whisky shop without me." But his wife saw him go up stairs and enter the meeting room and the door close upon him. Then she and Mary went home to r.-joice, in trembling, at the result of the stratagem. Surprise, joy and some distrust pervaded the minds of the assembly of temperance brothers when Mr. Kose walked in.' He was invited forward and asked to speak whatever he wished. lie rose, and told the tale of the day and added, " when I saw how my angel daughter was transformed into a low filthy creature ; when I knew how much lower she would have to descend if she went with me, I abhorred myself. She vowed to go everywhere I went, and do every thing I did. Could I see bcr do that ? Her loveliness stained, her character ruin ed ? No, sir! if it kills me, I will leave oiT, and never touch, taste or handle more from this night henceforward and forever. And now, gentlemen help me to be a man again." The building vibrated with the cheering, and stamping, and clapping, and a gush of song arose from those manly hearts which might have been heard for miles. Oh ! " there is joy in heaven over one sinner that repentcth," and should their not be joy on earth 1 We hope God converted the soul of Mr. Kose, for he became a good man, and his family were very happy, But we hope no other daughter will have to resort to so painful a remedy to save a father. r3- Two men, the other evening were talking in McClelland" oil exchange in this city. Said one : "Well, Jones, how are you!" " I'm anything but well ; I am terribly troubled with biles. Do you know any cure for them V " Why, yes; I have heard that crude oil is good. That is an outward applica tion." " Well, it's simple enough, and we have plenty of oil here. I shall try it." At this stage a third party steps up, and whispers : "Don't you do it, stranger; for these oil smellers going around will have a pump on the places afflicted before threo days ; don't do " Amnesty.
