'I do not question Ole fitness of the name; I only ask why it was given her She is by Tar the most beautiful girl in the room' 'Yes, she is beautiful,' replied Paul, 'but' as heartless as she is pretty.

Warren Dagon was introduced, and was seen floating with her through the intricate mazes of the dance. He paid her the most assiduous attention throughout the evening Mira knew him by report to be a gentleman of unbounded wealth and extensive travel. In his company, as the hours swept swiftly by, her interest deepened all the while in her noble admirer. her young heart beat as it had never done before. She listened, spell-bound to his conversa tion, thereby awakening a jealous indignation of a dozen other less fortunate admirers.— They felt themselves igrievei, for she al ways treated them with such cool indiffer ence. One lady, resplendent in brocade and diamonds, muttered through her shut teeth, 'The marble-hearted is warming it last.' Mira drank in the tones of his softly mod. elated voice, taking no note of time. When supper was announced he led her. to the ta ble. During the repast she watched him narrowly, and when wine was served her face became pals with excitement. She offered him a glass with a smile , ; he gave her a searcbing•.look,. refused it, calling for water in its stead; Turoitig to her, be said : vannotyledge yon,with wine, for -I do not drink- tr;-but with this glass of water, Nature a purest beverage, I drink to you.— May love and happiness be your _portion in life.'

Elsie was but seventeen when she gave her beafl to Atwell Chandler. He, loved the wine cup better. He was no ordinary man; many and rich were the gifts bestowed upon him by nature, He was a dark-haired man, in eyes of rare depth and feeling He was very handsome; in manner he was gentlemanly and pleasing. We all loved him; father loved him like a son; and so gave him Elsie. They were married and went to dwell in hie beau- tiful home in the South, and for a few years they were , very happy. " 'Then Atwell began to neglect his business for a downward path, which ended in a drunkard's grave. Five years from her bri dal day Elsie came home a heart-broken wid ow; still young but broken•hearted. At well di - e - d - b - y - his --- own — hand, for-they-foand him in the summer-house with his brains blown. out by a pistol shot; and any dear beantiful_sister,datuelto,her_girlhoo_d's home • : • I__ 1 Llio-nrf 'lt was just such a night as this, 'a bean• tiful night ib midsummer, when Elsie died.

As I stood by her bedside, moistenini,-her lips with water, and wiping the cold dew of death from her forehead, her long silken eye. lashes were lifted for a moment, and fixing her eyes upon me with an expression ear nest and tender, she said : Mira, prowiso iiv II ut yuu .11 never - mar- I wi ry a man who is not strictly temperate, for lutemperance is the foundation of misery,— Think how many bright homes aro made des olare by it.

'I am going to sleep; good night dear sister.' It was a very lung nig•hr. to me. fur ere the rising of the morning star, Elsie, my beautiful sister, had gone to meet her God. 'There was not one of my circle of friends and acquaintance who refused wine in the festive halls, and many of them imbibed free ly of stronger stimulants. I turned coldly from them all There was nothing to at tract my love, and I could not marry any one of them and keep my promis9 to Elsie I kept my promise sacredly unbroken. and my coldness to all who whispered of love, woo. for me the name of marble.hcarted.' "nil I came,' said he, drawing her nearer t o his boson). `Yes, tilt yon came; and though I loved you dearly, had you drunk that glass of wine I should have refused to marry you. Oh, Warren, you can never know what unutter able joy t experienced when you refused the cup I offered you.' 'May Heaven and the spirit of' your sweet sister help me to be worthy of your love, for it was the happiest hour of my life when I met with Mira,. the marble hearted,' said be. smiting. 'Yea, it wasa happy hour. and I know by the sweet content of my heart to-oight, that the spirit of Elsie is smiling upon me for having so faithfully kept my promise.' Few Drunkards Reform. The following solemn words are from the Christian Secretary. Facts show that of the vast army of the intemperate—of the 500,000 in our land, who are wending their way toward a drunk • ard's doom, comparatively few are reformed —only here and there one is saved. The deceptive power of appetite and habit. like some evil spirit, blindfolds its capeives, lead ing them speedily to utter ruin. o..anpao ions in dissippation encourage and embolden one another, and present a united front a gainst saving influence. Together they drown the voice of admonition in the cup, together they cheer the way to death with songs of revelry, and fortify their hearts against God and salvation by ridicule of true and serious things. Thus they are held fast under the bonds of iniquity. The mother sees her son in• the path of the destroyer, and goes after him with prayers and pleading tears, but alas, the bands of sin have already grown too strong for the ties of filial affection. The son revels on, though he knows be is mingling for her the cup of unutterable anguish.— The sister'a gentle and, tender entreaties are added, but. only to be spurned for the cup of intoxication. With all her blessed mioistries she cannot lead him back to life. KEEP IN GOOD HUMOR —lt is not ca lamities that embitter existence, it is the petty vexatious, the small jealousies, the little disappointmonti, the minor miseries, that make the heart heavy, and the temper sour. •Don't let them; 'Anger Is a pure waste of vitality:., it is :always foolish,. al. ways dispioeful, except in "soma rate t:ases, when itle kindled by seeing wrong done to another sod even that noblo rage. seldom mends the matter.

'My poor children.' • 'Once I was young, and now am old,' sol emnly said her husband, speaking in the words of the psalmist, •yet' never have I seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.' As if in answer to this pious ejaculation, there came a sudden knock at the door. All _th e_whilthe=minister=and—his=svi-fellad,be - a tog-a-s orm hird — beetr - ra - gibu si On opening the door, a traveler quite wet entered. was coming through the storm from _ aysvi le, said, 'and venture , to - stop at the first rouse I saw. 31y horse is in the shed Do I take too greet a liberty.' 'Not it alr eaiiF he mac of the - house.— giNe have a poor shelter, as you see, there is a good fire at any rate.' For it was in the kitchen that this oonver. saPion took place. Indeed this humble house boasted no parlor, and the kitchen was di. ning room, drawing room, living room and all.

'He means it for us. Thanks be - to the Lord ! Did I not say, my dear, Ile would provide ?' His wife burst into tears 'God for ,, ive sho said. will never doubt again. The Lord surely sent this stranger to our aid ' 'And ho will provide,' replied her hus band. 'Whatever my lot may be, here or elsewhere, io Him I trust,' A month later a letter, a rare event, came I to. the 'Rev James Spring.' It was as tol lows : •Rev. and dear sir—The church at Marysville has unanimously called you to , its pastorate. The salary is fifteen hundred and a good parsol , age house.

It was a far fitter sphere of labor for a man of the minister's abilities than the wild village in the moun tains. So a young man as yet without a family took the missionary church among tho bills. and the Rev. James Spring accepted the call. Bat he does not forget the past, and of ten when people, show a want of faith, tab them the story of his Last Dollar, An old lady, who was in the habit of de- Oaring after the occurrence of -an unusual event that she had predicted it, was one day very nicely sold by her worthy spouse, who had got, tired of her continual told you so' Rushing into the house,• breathless with excitement, he dropped into his ()hair, ele vated hie hands, and exclaimed, 'Oh, wife, wife—what—what—what do you think The old brindle cow has gone and ate up-our , grindstone The old lady was ready, and hardly wait ing to hear the last word, she broke out et the top of her lungs; 'I told yon so !

Fight Your Way Up• The many who have to take th't world rough and tumble ore prone to envy the few who roll through it unjolted in cushioned ve hi,les on parent springs. The toiler, us ,he stumbles through its thorny thickets and olimhs over its foot-hlisterine gravel, is apt to curse the ill luck that placed him on such a hard road, and to sigh for u seat in ono of the splendid equipage that glide so smoothly over Fortune'-s ruccadainizei turnpike Born with a, pewter spoon in his month, he covets the silver one which was the birthright of his well-to-do-neighbor. Occupation is the *immediate jewel' of life. It is true that riches are no bar-to exertion. Quite the re verse, when their uses are properly under- stood. But th e discounted worker who pines for, wealth, without being willing to la bor for it, regards the idleness in which it would enable him to live as the acme of tem poral happiness Ho has no idea,of money as a great motive power, to he applied in en terprises that give healthful employment to mind and body All to loaf luxuriously.— We have no sympathy with such sensuous longings. People who indulge in them nev er acquire wealth. They lack the energy to break their way to the worldly indepeodeuce for which they yearn and whine They don't know bow much more glorious it is to tear affluence from opposing late by main strength of will and idfleitibility of purpose, than to rebeive it as a windfall. There is infinitely more satisfaction in conquering a fortune than.was ever experienced by a ~'incky heir' in obtaining the golden store which some thrifty hand had accumulated.

YttAus.—The Lannister Express says : A very singular ease of wakefulness has just been brought to our notice. A man named flerr, a cabinet maker, residing in Lampoter Square, and about sixty years of age, has not had a half• hour's continuous sleep for nearly four years. The case was thus stated to us: About four years since, a daughter of Mr.. Herr became ill, and Mr. ff. watched at her bed.ide, day and night, for six week's, when she died. All this time he took no sleep, stating that he felt no drsire for it. A few days- after the death of his slamibter he ran a nail into his foot, and this orto&necl him to his bed for seven or eight weeks, not an hour of which time could, he obtain sleep. After re; covery from biti wound he still failed to Obtain rest from sleep, and so the matter continues: , to go on from week to month, and from month to year. His health has suffered, and he complains of great debility.... Re nO , plied to a leading physician of ,this city, who prescribed for him a strong opiate, but it had no mere effect upon him. as ha. asp, than a snap of- his finger. Re again ap plied to the same physician, requesting that the dose be increased. To this the physician, objected, stating that it would be dangerous. fie said he did not care, and another opiate was prepared strong enough, it is alleged, to put three or four ordinary men to sleep and never wake up again. This had no better ef fect than the first,, and the p'kys'cian refused to administer any more doses of that _kind s but advised his patieer,as-a last resort; to get - on a 4 iitgh old bender.' This experitisetit has not yet been tried, and it may be a ques tion whether he can swallow enough liquor to produce intoxication and ioPoriferoustiess. Mr. Herr is a sober and industrious man, but io consequence of his rnal idy is unable to do any kind of physical Ishor, It is certaialy a strange case.
