In 18—, we were invited to address the friends of Temperance in a village of Western of Temperance bad just been instituted, and bad redeemed some of the most aban doned drunkards in the place. Legions of devils had been cast out; and noblo men given back to their families. The gentleman presiding over the meeting in the church, was a noble spec imen of a maa ; tall, finely built, polished in manner, and with an eye and voice in which the - light and tone of a full, great heart were unmistakably blended. He was dignified and commanding; yet gen tle and unaffected as a child. I loved the man before he had placed his hand in mine. Others were impressed with the bear ing of the president of the day—why so much I could not understand, he being a citizen with whom they were familiar— but a feeling of quiet, beaming joy seem ed to pervade the vast audience iu attend ance. 'There were three ladies in the an dietice who more especially appeared to labor under some deep and uncontrollable emotion. They wept like children, but their tears hardly seemed those of sorrow. I noticed that the chairman, at times, could hardly suppress his own feelings, for the lip was pale and quivering, and his voice was tremulous with the flooding of tears beneath. I saw here and there, tears dripping upon other cheeks. It was a mystery, for the exercises had not com menced and I had seen nothing to account for the tears. And yet. I was deeply af fected myself before I was aware of it. At the close of my address,'appealed to the people in behalf of th Division, and asked them if it had not wrought good in their midst? Had it not redeem ed some citizen who was once the soul of honor ? Had it not restored some erring son to a widowed mother? Had it not made some happy, and filled some aching heart with bliss too deep for utterance ? "It has ! and the widow's - blessing be upon it, and the blessing of the God of the widow and the fatherles3 !" E. Q. JONES As if one heart pulsed in that audi ence, a deep and thrilling amen, burst from every lip, the eldest of the ladies before noticed, standing upon her feet and weeping in the fullness of joy. The chairman bid his face hands, and his broad chest heaved as only that of a strong man can do, in such an hour. In the evening, the Division met, and I was pleased to find the chairman of the day, the Worthy Patriarch, filling the po sition with that rare tact which few eau boast. Twenty-three were initiated by special dispensation, and the glorious old altar glowed with the kindling of a more glorious light. Hands silently clasped hands; tears answered tears; and through all, the calm smile of a great joy shone out and warmed every heart. After the business of the evening was completed, the Chaplain asked that the Division re open under the head of the good of the order, and the doors be thrown open to the peOple who were thronging the streets before the building. " This is not tio much for the people," said he, "as for parties immediately blessed by by our efforts here, and to bring together Again in the holiest of earthly ties, those whom ruin has put asunder. Angels in bliss are drawing aside the curtains this lour to witness a scene at this altar which will cause joy ‘on earth and in Heaven." The doors were thrown open, and like a pent•up food, the people swept in and BM P 4 b° l eD to filo biltoiPles of iktto DchioeNey, aqa 148 isissekiß4tioli of . Nol-4kfy, K.ifehOlp 4qa Velps. POETRY. GONE TUE SEVRET. CIIA PEER I A Division of the Sons COUDERSPORT, POTTER COUNTY, PA., 'THURSDAY, NOVEMBER LB6O, filled all the 'vacant space save that . which I had been reserved in front (..f the altar. First in thaticrowd, were the three ladies I had noti2ed in the church. : Silence se cured, the chipliin advanced into the open space and said : "This is one of :the happiest moments of my life, for lam about to perform a duty which , an angel might well be proud to perform, "No where in life, is the effect of rum so cruel and desolating, as at the:home. Tbese.spots-which-aegood God designed should be Edens, are transformed into hells, where hopes are crushed, out, lives turned to gall, and the holiest ties which ever linked human hearts, broken in ag ony and-tears. The husband forgets the gentle keart which gave its priceless trust when he was worthy of it, and treads it under foot by the broken shrine. "But here is a pool where the angel comes to trouble the waters, and however long the years of . infirmity, the stricken ones can be healed. Here is bread ' enough and to spare, and many hunger ' log prodigals have returned. • We have seen them afar off, and there •has been singing and rejoicing here, for the lost has been found, and the dead made alive again. "We have witnessed these things in our midst. We have seen two, whom we all loved, join hands at the ma:liege altar in the light of a glorious life-promise and the fiend of - the wine-cup rend the sacred tie, and drive the wife out to weep, and the erring husband far down the ben conless way of drunkenness. We have seen one who loved as only woman can love, compelled to obtain that seperation which is a thousand times worse than death. But, bless our Father in -Heav en, the wine-cup has been dashed down, and the exile returns and knooks at the Eden from which he has been banished by the flatning sword of appetite. Let those whose love, through the long dark night of 'the last five ycars, has clung with changeless strength around the early Vow, stand forth, and once more join bands at our fraternal altar, before these brothers and neighbors here, and God and his good angles in Heaven." Pale, and reeling with terrible emotion the Worthy Patriarch stepped down and stood a moment, as if Crushed with fear that he would not be met by one whom I now understood as a divorced wife. The intensity of feeling manifested by those present, can never be depisited on paper —it was painful. The suspense, howev er, was but foi a moment. With a sharp quick, cry of joy, the lady in black tossed her veil back from. her face and sprang forward and grasped the extended hand in her own, and kissed it, over and over again. • • "Mine!" she sobbed in delicious joy, "Aline I MINE AGAIN 1 . 0 God ! how can I thank thee fol. this. Miae at last, and you will love me again, as of yore Hu bert, and we shall be so happy." Her face, the picture of innocence and trust, and of exceeding beauty, glisten ing with tear-drops, wearing a smile of indescribable sweetness and joy, was up turned to his. 'With a simultaneous cry the long severed hearts sprang together,' and locked in each other's embrace, they were one again. While thus united, the chaplain repeated the marriage ceremony. "And what God and our reform has this hour united, let not man or rum put asunder. Brothers, salute your brother and you sister." Before the rough hand, however, had dared disturb the clinging clutch of those long parted, two others had joined the weeping group. "My own loved first born !" '"Brother !- brother ! my own noble brother !" The-mbther and sister fell upon the bowed neck of the Worthy Patriarch of —Division, and neverdid the emblem of the Rod, White and Blue receive a holier baptism of joyous tears. Never wa sthere a scene on earth more touching and sublime. CHAPTER: IT As we passed from the Division room, the mother laid her hand upon my arm, and invited ine to spend the night with her. We were glad to accept the invi cation, for we wanted to learn more of what we had that night witnessed,— Taking her arm we walked silently home ward, for each heart was too full for ut terance. • - The widow was quiet, but happy', and for a long ti.ne sat by the fire dreamily, now and then wiping away the tears that would lied their way over the withered cheek. We communed with our own thoughts, and loved our cause better for working such changes in the - desolate places. While the tea-kettle was singing over the blaze which seemed to crackle and flash with the new found joy, the table was spread, and plates set for three. In a little time the sister came in, and steal ing up to the mother, kissed her tender ly on the cheek. The silent act spoke volumes—there was a happiness in their hearts which snob acts alone could ex,- preas. Wcrds could, not have - told it .as impressively. ; • Whitelwe were seated at the table, the motheispoke of the Sons of Tempirance as a'seeret society. We remarked, that the organization was not ' so really. " "But it kirsji secret," she repeated. "A inereinattei of self protection," we replied. • - • 1 "You have"anoathi which binds you to keep_thakse.cret,"-,and she looked I.l'o l '- 1 "Neroatte but that ot our promise as nien`of honor," we answered. "If I tell you what the secret of your society is, will you admit the truth ?' We heSitatinglynedded*sent and she began. "You saw that man: who presided at the meeting this afternoon, and in the Division this evening? he is my only son. Ho married one i of the noblest of women and commenced lite ten years ago with means, character, and friends.. His fall is a long, terrible history—a fearful nightmare,. which I ; hope has passed away. He forgot me, forgot wife, forgot his sister, though we all clung to him th, the darkest times of his degradation.- -None but God will ever kuow bow I suffered. rot path I wrestled in prayer, even when it seemed that God had for gotten the widow and her sorrows. Many the long dreary nights—so dreary, Mr. —, that I have kneeled by the aide of i the slumbering drunkard and prayed that the cup might pass by. My eyes have been fountains of tears, and there, have I been times when I have longed to die. Times ton—God . forgive me !=-when with clasped hands I have invoked ter rible judgements upon those—who were wringing my old heart in the ruin of my boy. "One night six months ago, he was brought home struggling with delirium tremens, and for three weeks vibrated between life and death. All this time a certain number of gentlemanly appearing young men alternately took their places at the bed-side. They were kind .and did not want to think them of those who had helped to lead him astray. "When my son -was able to sit up and occamonallv walk out, I began to tremble for I feared the worst. "Early one evening, they asked me to permit them to take him to the Village for a few hours. No !. said I, you shall not. Leave him and go: your ways, for I fear you. But they so earnestly and kindly urged me, promising that no harm should befall him, that I reluctantly con sented, and they passed out. "The hours never seemed longer than while they were gone, and the most of the time I spent in prayer. Every foot: fall in the street startled me, and my poor achin g heart was full of fearful forebod ings of coming evil.

Economy requires neither superior cour age nor eminent virtue; it is satisfied with ordinary energy, and the capacity of average minds. Economy at bottom, is but the spirit of order applied in the ad, ministration of domestic affairs; it means management, regularity, prridence, and the avoidance of waste. The spirit of economy was expressed by per. Divine Master in these words, "Gather- up the fragments which remain, that; nothing be lost." His omnipotence-did not disdain the small things of life; and even while revealing His infinite power to the mul- titade,,lie taught, :the pregnant- lessons a cnickness or'which all stand so much in' need.- Ecoilonly !also means therpower of refining present gratification - for thc - purpose of, securing a future; ,good; and in' thig: Belt it represents I he' ascenden cy of reason °Vet. the 'aniMal *dads.'

It is eminently conservative of character, of domestic happiness, and social well being. It allays irritation, and produces content. It makes men lovers of public order and security. It deprives the agitator of his stock in trade by removing suffering, and renders his appeals to class-hatred com paratively innocuous.
