To you the sight of that drunken beast, possessing the form of a man, but none of the noble attributes that comprise true man hood, is suggestive of nothing but the fear ful curse of 'drink,' bat to me the sight of that degradation briers to life old memories of a pale, spirituelle face—long since laid be neath the sod—of a patient, broken heart; that hopefully waited to lie pulseless beneath the ever green live-oaks of Louisiana, Think not that those bleared, leaden eyes always had that dazed, blank expression; that those matted locks and that unkemp, beard were always thus. I remember when that man was a well to-do architect and build er, dressed -neatly, and was a highly respect ed, promising young man, whose only fault was the love of 'drink,' That one fault was his own damnation, and wrecked as pure and true a woman's heart as it was ever the good fortune of a man to win, or his curae to crush. C. N. BEAVER'S As if she stood before me now, do I see her as she appeared when I saw her—a small, delicately formed creature, with deep, earn est, blue eyes, and goldec hair, upon whose pale features ever rested a shadow that was apparent to the most careless observer. At a casual glance it seemed an ever present dread of death from consumption, upon the first stages of which she seemed entering; but it was not that dread consumption of the lungs that left its impress, it was the decay of the fondest dreams and hope of a trusting womun's heart, that had so grown and en twined themselves there, that they bad be come a part of herself, and in fading their dust had buried forever the 'germ of hope within. The shadow seemed to say that the light of her life had gone forth never to re turn this side of the tomb. This expression was So marked to me that I sought an op portunity to learn her history and know the secret that was sapping her life at its fonn tale. She had met and loved that brute you see lying there in the torper of beastly intoxica tion, when be was respected as a gentleman, and seemed on the high road to wealth and honor among his fellow men. Then she heard of his fault, learned of his love for drink, bat with a woman's strong, confiding love ; she hoped to win him from his curse, to lead him from its debasing paths into a higher and better life. But beneath . all this was a Christian heart, in which the love of God was first in that heart, an altar upon which was offered up to Heaven the first incense of a loving soul; and when be would have married her, she replied To.' love you better than I love the world— better than I love myself—'better than I love my life and its hopes—better than every: thing beneath the stars; but Dove my Heav enly Father, too, and ho Cannot smile on my marriage to a man of your habits of life, and I cannot neaept you. Oh, Henty, be a man! Assert•your manhood's power over this ap ! petite for drink ! Then gladly will I lay my hand in yours, and be unto you a true and lovios wife; . • WAYNESBORO', FRANKLIN COUNT%, PENNSYLVANIA, THUR,SIMI MORNING, AUGUST 18, i€7o. 1 3 '03:0 1 1'1C311.3Le.

If ever the yearn ings of a heart were reflected from the lea turea,l they were from her's ; but as he pass 7 ed from view, she dropped almost hi4lessly, semi-lifelessly into a chair, and after a long, lingering gdzo in the direction he had disap. peared, there came a sigh from the heart with which it seemed a soul was struggling to escape. . _ and' boo: to But the physical system could not always stand this fretting and chafing of the•soul, and gradually her health and strength failed. Despite the kind attention of sympathising friends and the surrouniings of we•llth . and luxury, she faded from life as gradually and quietly as the light of sunset fades from the sky Being taken to the health-giving springs of Virginia, she protested, saying that no earthly remedy would reach her disease.— W hen she felt the end had almosit Como she was brought home, where she wished to die. At last, when the icy band of death was laid on her brow, she shuddered not—she shrank not from his cold embrace; but wel comed him as the friendly turnkey who was to release her soul from out its prison cell of clay. Then Et be sent for that man, to whom she had not spoken for years. Every ves tige of manhood had not left him yet, and he invested his last dollar in suitable apparel, and making a presentable toilet, knowing full well that ho was to meet the sundering, of the hat tie that bound him to a single hu man being. Though perfectly sober, he had nerved himself for the interview by potions of bran dy, the odor of which he smothered with perfumery, and entered the room as though it were himself who were there to feel the icy Angers of the fell destroyer abnut his heart. With a glance and a faint wave of the hand she beckoned him to the waiting chair by her side. 'leery,'—his name, pronounced thus fond ly by those lips, convulsed the frame of that strong man as if in the throes of death.— She observing it; laid her thin band on his bead as caressingly as a mother entertwiaes her fingers in her baby's curls, and proceed. ed : 'Do not look that way.

These petty slanderers deserve the lesson that was recently given to one of their number in Davenport, lowa. A story had been for some time circulated respecting the character of a wealthy young lady there, who waited patiently till some tespausible person could be implicated in aiding . to circulate it. This pyoved soon to hem° less a person than - the - mayor of-the city, who had thoughtless ly told the story as it came to him, and told as de tlorio it, if it were true. The lady promptly sued him. She Wag cleared of slaider dtuiog the progress of the trial, but, because ititts thought that the mayor had •no thought of vile intent in what he said, the verdict was in his favor. Since the trial the lady published a card in a local paper, in which she says: 'First of all, the failure of the jury to agree does not and can• not terminate the suir, and should the *best years of my life be spent in the endeavor, I wi,l not rest until a verdict has been given for or against me, and, either st this court or a higher one, an example sot not only to me, , but to all slanderers for in briniiiiiii — thiad ; • it:-I have not been unmindful of the many innocent girls whom I have seen injured as shamefully as I have been, and much less able to defend themselves.'- To Young Men.
