side, of ithe bars,and heprayed,and I prayed
for I could not help but pray. And there's
my wife+God bless her—God_forgitC me
=She is praying--"
Mr. Hartley was broken down. He si
lently pressed the hand of the pastor, and
went on i bis way wdeping.
_How like a
rainbow of promise gleamed the light in
the window,as he saw it through this tears.
"I'll not go to the front door," he said
to himself, "and then she will know that
the parson is not bringing me home drunk
to-night. She will heat my sober step.
and that will prepare her for the surprising
news." •
He then opened the side gate, and walk
ed on with a firm elastic step, when
,the
dog muttered his caution. "Why Prince,
Won't you know me?" said he, much af
fected because of the watcher's suspicion.
The dog was at once assured and leaped for
joy in the path. "Poor fellow, said Hart
ley, for his wife's benefit; didn't know your
master. Been so long since I came home
sober, that you didn't know me, because I
wasn't staggering along, and talking like a
ro6l. That's right—be as happy as I am."
Mrs. Hartley was sitting in her room,with
a foot on the rocker of a cradle, in which
an infant was sleeping, and with an ear in
tent upon every sound in the street. "0
mother I there's a robber coming," exclaimed
her daughter Ellen who had persisted in
staying tip until her tither came home.
"Be calm, my child," replied her mother
rising up; "old Prince will frighten him
away. you rock the baby, while I see
that the doors are safe."
She went to the side door, listened and
recognized her husbands' voice. Instantly
the key was turned, and they met in tears
of gladness. And shall fie intrude upon
the scene, and tell the world how John
Hartley told the, happiest' tidings, that she
had ever' heard concerning himself? Shall
we tell how they prayed together that he
might have God's grace to keep his -volt
at the ba'rs f
Early the 'Mkt morning' the Sheriff
entered the office of lawyer Edson, and.laid
upon thd table a paper headed "Sheriff's
Sale," saying, . "please look it over and seo
if the pr9perty is correctly described."
The ldwyer began to run off such pimi
ses as these: "To be sold on the premises.
two large lots"--"a two story houso"—"a barn
and carriage house"—"other improvements
—the garden well planted with choice
fruit trees"—taken as the property of John
Hartley, at the suit of Pitt Edson, Esq."
The Sheriff stood thinking of what disa
greeable duties his office imposed upon him
and seemed to be in no haste to perform
them.
lqt, is hard to turn Jelin Hartley out of '
'house and home," said the lawyer, "for he
is one of the cleverest men living, when he
is sober. But drink will drive him to the
wall, and I must have.my money. Those
who have mortgages On his mill will take

It was a favorite notion of Mr.Edsan y ttat
he was the-most merciful lawyer who' ever
gave work to a Sheriff. In the present
case he had the justice of the law on, his
side. John Hartley has brought himself
to the verge of financial ruin/The lawyer's
eye kindled with a bright / idea,and he said
to himself; "I'll tide int? the country, and
fairSilade my friend Allen to make the
highest bid for the property. He wants to
move into town."
:"Wmild you /belieVe it?" exclaimed a
neighbor; as be hastened into the office
"John Hartley has reformed! That is all
the talk 'np• / street."
.
"Teo much fel' me to believe,"replied the'
lawyer / "Can't take lieresay evidence in
this court."
IVolin Hartley' has cpiit drinking!" said
,
another nappy; over the evert.
Until he gets over the preeent disc
guSt,o said 111r.EdStri: • "Such reformations'
(requite down - non after an election -day."
"Perhaps you would have more confi
dence if you had pegged by his licarse last
laight as I did, and heard him preying like:
one grasping for the'last hope."
"Drunken men often take a religious
tune; you would think them Models-of
piety: if it were not for the odors of rum."
"It was never so with .Hartley. ' He be
carne humorous, then coarse in song and
anecdote."
. .
"But never profane," said the I.4.N. , iyer.
"We must give him credit for that. Wireti
most drunk, he, would lash a man with the
keenest rehukes for profane swearirrg."
Thus ran the conversatiotO upon John
Hartley's virtues and vides, wail 1 5 drson
Blake and Deacon Watson* came and drew
the lawyer into another loom: They talked
half an hour right earnestly.
I "Just try him,"
.entreated Watson ., ,
"Spitre him—spare his Wife and children.
Qive him time: Yon know his brisiries
talents.' If you ask it, I will be his secu
rity for every dollar that he owes'you.'

"Good security," said the !Oyer: F "I'll
take it, I like to be merciful, ydi know."
"Bring the papers,and I will endorse them
at once."
,
aft is not necessary , Yotir WOW) DeacOrt
is as good asyou bond. But will you hur
ry after the sheriff, and tell him that, all
further process is to be stopped?" The
Deacon never:went on a gladder errand,and
Parson Blake; hastened to tell Mr. Hartley
of the happy i results in the matters of law.
"I was just writing to Edward," said
Mra.Hartley,so happy thatshe could scarce
ly keep a secret. Edward was the eldest
child, eighteen years of age, who could not
bear his father's treatment, nor the taunts
that he was a drunkard's son. Seeing that
his father was likely to squander all the
property, he had gone from home,with her
consent, to earn something for his mother
and her children, agaiast the day of adver-l•
sity. Right Manfully had he struggled on,
often writingl to her to be brave and full of
hope, for she.had a son on earth and a
Father in Heaven to provide for the evil
day.
"And he will come home.,now," said she
"when I tell him the good news." I was
sving that his father had gone,to
this morning before breakfast, broke every
jug and demijohn; and advised 'every . man
I who , works for him to sign the pledge.
They all did it, when he asked ;hem to do
it, for his sake, lest their example might
prove to him a fearful temptation. Ed
ward never liked Mr. Edson, bth his heart
willlchange when he learns the mercy of
the
"'And the mercy of God,"
,added the
pastors as he stood in the beautiful home,
and thought how nearly the fires of intern-
Penance had consumed it. It was saved to
thejfamily by the vow at the bars.
Edward's welcome a few days after was
likel the meeting of the prodigal son and
his father. except that the father was now
thelpcnitent prOdigal, and the on the re
joicing Christian: Was notthe father also
a christian ? He had begun a riew life, 'at
the, right point—that of his own heart— ,
and with a new powerthat of God,
Over the door or the mill was a new sign
"John Hartley and'son." In the mill was
a new order of things no more tipplers
loun g ing there lid rildte drunkards stagger-
ing forth at night ; no more thieving and
wasting. And the workmen who boarded
at the house of their employers, found h.
a house of prayer. Edward led in worgliip
in the morning, and his father in the even,-
ing. The fences were repaired, the shrub
berry trimmed, the walks put, in order and
the garden made to blossom as the rose."
"Edward,l have this to say to you," 'said
Mr. Hartley one evening, when•the son was
about starting to
l a social entertainment,.
"My first glass was given me at a wedding
in the house of a member of the church.,
We were at the,table, where the blessirie.
of God was implored by the minister. The
mother of the/bride urged me to take one .
glass of wine, just for her sake, as she had
made the/wine. The bride protested with
her entreating eyes and a shake of the head
but I ' drank the wine. That bride was
your mother.. I never took another glass
in her presence: But I was easily tempted
to take my second glass at a public dinder
given to the neWly elected governor. After
that day I needed no temptation; my only,
difficulty was tcf find an excuse. The ar
gument which made me a. drunkard was
learned from the lips of a mart in the pul
pit, It was dna, "It is not, a sin in itself to
drink wine." Grant the statement, yet
it made me a sinner in drinking of death.
I bless God that our pulpit now rings with
a more certain. sound.
"M, last glais was taken in the bar-rdchti
last gt,
of a disreputable tavern. 'There was no
wealth, nor elegance, nor fashion, rior purl
ty around me, as at fast There was no
man of God, there to engage our respect
and reverence. A curse was uttered over,
the decanter by the, landlord. The air reeked
with the vilest utterances, Arid we bilked'

staggered forth the slave I 'd the destroyer:

"But in the tavern I saw intemperance
as a giimt ii hissireugth, repulsive to the
sight, disgusting in his habits yet a tyrant
over me. 1 Fashionable society spurned him
from its doors, where, he found his slaves
crouching for his smile.: He) gave it, and
then cast them into the'ditch. What mut , '

"Lincoln' iireling."
This fat/State phiage of the Democratie
politiciims has gone quite into disuse. Two
or three years ago; When they were in the
field, defending the G,overnment tvgainst
traitors and iebelet it was the epithet most
commonly tiestowd do the soldiers by a
certain class of pi:ilitidiatis. Id dptidsing
the draft, they said let Lincoln's hireling
fight out the war.. When they Attempted
to prevent the soldiers from, voting; they
said: If Lincoln's Iliteling want to vote,they
should stay at home,as we do. Their creed
was expressed in a few Woids c "not a man
and not a dollar .for this war," and they did
their best to make their iiractide conform to
it. •
How different new The change is Won
derful. How sweet they now are, on the
boys in blue. Soldiers are all the go. A
soldier's funeral is d windfall. WEat long
faces and long speeches! Before election a
soldier's bones will be relics to this class of
politicians, and they'll sing, "John Brown,"
in their meetings. , It is funny to. see the
tricks, twists and turns of the poor politici
ans. It is funnjekban a •hand-organ and
monkey. But it won't do. Brevet con
scripts of the Clearfield Corps may be
caught by it, but not old soldiers,honorably

What Are You Crjidg At?
Two Irishmen, on landing in this coun
try, and sitting down to their first dinner
on shore, found on the table a dish of pre
pared mustard, which neither of them had
happened to meet before. One of them
took A spdonful at a venture; which quickly
brought d del die of twits to his eyes.
"What are you Crying abdut" asked his
companion ; I •
"I was drying at the feel:Acetic:in of iiiy
p)or father who was hung about twenty
years ago."
The dinner Firoceeded, and soon the oth
.3, made a dip into the mustard, with a
similar result. • I -
"What are you Cryidg aboutt" was the
grave inquiry of his comrade.
"I am crying because you were not hung
when your father was." 1
