The history of our lives furnishes some few particular pages which, above all others, we are wont to remember ; some few striking events which outlive a multitude of others, and which cling to us consecrated to memory, with their pleasant or painful reminiscences. During the winter of 185-- the writer of this was teaching a district school in a small country town in one of the New England States. It was a pleasant and agreeable neighborhood, made of thrifty farmers well to do in the world, intelli gent and of a high, social character ; which is so much towards smoothing the rugied path in ateacher's life. Nothing is Bo discouraging and disheartening to one who takes upon himself or herself the responsibility ofleaching, as to have an ignorant, a meddlesome and fault finding class of parents and guardians, anxious to make trouble and contention out of the slightest pretext. The fami lies in this district, with which I had to deal, were, all sociable, pleasant and hos pitable, with one exception ; and this household consisted of father, mother, a boy of fifteen, and - two little girls, one five and the other seven years of age, The father had once been wealthy ; had once been highly respected; but habits of intemperance had gradually grown upon him until, no longer able to control himself, he began to sink rapidly under this destructive vice. The farm was soon mortgaged, the fences were no longer repaired, disorder and ruin began their reign over the premises ; while around the fireside poverty, brawls and wretchedness began to creep in upon the unguarded genius of domestic life. Af ter I had become comfortably situated and acquainted with the people in the district, I heard this story with feelings of mingled sympathy and sadness, and ri calved to bring a new influence to bear upon this unfortunate family, and en deavor to arrest a further descent into the depths of misery. The boy of fif teen was a brave, intelligent lad, of a manly bearing, but always wore a sad and dejected countenance. Ile keenly felt the disgrace which his father had brought upon them. He was a good student; loved his books, and these were his only society, for he never mingled in the games or sports of-the boys. I made him my confidant in many things, in order that, in time, he would make me his. I admired him for his'in tegrity and for his ability ; I pitied him, too, from the bottom of my heart, for upon his head the blind and infatuated father seemed to pour the vials of his drunken wrath. I visited the family, but was treated by the father with provoking insolence. I was told to go about my business and let his alone. I could accomplish noth ing. I grieved over their unfortunate condition, and Ralph ( for that was the boy's name) had informed me that the father abused them all, and that his own life was one of deep and bitter misery. The mother was almost broken down beneath the weight of her cares, and was dragging out her existence through moments of misery and despair. Mat ters thus went wretchedly on, and seem ingly no hope, no consolation offered itself to them. The neighbors, the min ister, relatives, friends, and acquaintan ces, had all tried, but in vain ;,apparent ly the grave alone could bury the defects of this husband and father. One evening towards the close of the term, just as I was preparing to retire, there was a slight rap at my chamber door; I opened it, and Ralph entered my room ; bis'head was bleeding from a bruise, and be was agitated and excited from a late conflict with his father ; he bad come, he said, to bid me good-bye for he bad determined to leave his wretched home and strike out into the world for himself; he had only one re gret, and that was in leaving his mother and little sisters, but he could stay no longer, he was decided and nothing could deter him. And, as I could offer no inducement for him to remain, I made up a deficiency in hie clothing out of my own wardrobe, gave him ten dollars in money and bade him God spend upon 's unplanned journey. As he was cour- ageous and ambitious, I felt assured that a I even young as he was, he was well cap able of starting forth, and eventually of gaining some laurels in the battle of Ura nia next day the neighborhood were alarmed at Ralph's sudden disappear ance; I never intimated that I was knoiviog to hie departure, but felt rather disposed toleave the problem to solve itself. The father felt it keenly, for he was not yet a brute, and this rash act towards his own son invoked all the pa. ternal affection which had lingered dor mantly in his bosom. It brought him to his senses. It caused the scales to fall from his eyes, and enabled him to look upon his own deplorable condition. But, to leave the family fora moment, I closed my school after a pleasant term of four wouths, and in the spring, having previously been admitted, entered the practice of the law in a flourishing city dew En s it.uti about a Luuured miles tzlU %;. f ops %tiara I Lad lately tue4:ll.

During these ten years I had grown into a large practice, and had bisconio so much absorbed in my p:ofet•sino, and lost in worldly ambition as to ul.ow the circumstances just relat ed to be almost entirely forgotten ; not en e'y, however, for it needed only the el:ghtebt, mention to bring them again fresh as ever to memory. One evening, after a hard day's labor over a compli• cated case, involving questions of the nicest law, just as the sun was sinking beneath the western horizon, I was sit ting in my office, puffing the smoke from a fragrant Havana, and trying for the moment to dismiss the care and vexa tion which had borne down upon me through the day, when some one rapped and I replied for them to come in, when an intelligent and well dressed young man entered, and, after serutiMzing me for a moment, reached out his band with considerable familiarity. I refused it, lawyer-like, until I should know Whether he were an intruder or a friend ; he gave his name and -referred to the circum stance which I have just related. I then recognized my old pupil ; he had come back to me after an absence of ten years, and now for his story. After he had left me that night after the abuse from his father, he walked all night to a neighboring town, and there he procured employment until he. Shad earned money enough to take him still farther from home, when about three years from the time of his leaving he found himself in California, and soon getting into business, became successful amassed a large fortune, and now return ed to the scenes of his boyhood, and to learn the fate of his parents and sisters. He had found me without difficulty, but I could give him no information con cerning his old home ; but the next morning we both started in the cars for the village where I had once been his teacher and he my pupil. We arrived ebout noon, and having satisfied our selves by inquiry that the family lived in the same old place, we proceeded thither, which required a walk of about a mile. We got to the house as the family were sitting down. to dinner. Everything about the premises bad changed for the better since I saw them last; the father had Wormed, but had not regained his injured health nor re covered his property. I entered first, while Ralph remained in the entry. They had not seen me often enough while teaching in the neighborhood to remem ber me now. I inquired if I could get dinner, and was cordially invited to be seated with them. The meal was a plain but substantial one, everything ap peared neat and tidy; there was an air of comfort, yet an atmosphere of sorrow. Gradually shaping the conversation, I soon asked for Ralph, and remarked that, roll was once his teacher, I knew of his being a member of the household. The tears trickled down the mother's cheeks, and - the father heaved a heavy groan as he said he would die with pleasure if he only knew whether Ralph were living or not ; he continued that the absence of that boy was the sorrow of his life, and if be could but hear from him it would lift a burden from his soul. I replied to him that his cup of happi ness was full, and immediately arose and opened the door,. when father and son stood face to face. 1 will not describe the scene that followed ; everything was, mutually forgiven and forgotten, and a . happier family never was sheltered be. neath a roof. I remained all night - and returned the next day. And not far from my office is the counting room of a wealthy banker, well known as Ralph —, and occasionally an aged man, gray and wrinkled, gives me a call at my office, and I notice he always weeps when I refer to my four months' teach ing in the little village of N. • "A well spring ofjoy," has been open ed in the house of our cotemporary, the editor of the Lagrange ( Mo.) American and the consequence is the editor is so delighted, he don't know which end he is standing on. Just listen at him ; - "Last Wednesday afternoon to us a child was born, but not a son was giv en.' We feel proud of our baby, its so pretty and sweet, so ourbetter half says. It's a girl of course, our wife wanted a girl, so we gave up to her—the times being too hard to split the difference, and have a boy and girl both at once. Our time will come next—see if it don't. Our baby weighs eight pounds, and all the ladies say that its such a pretty lit tle angel, and looks just like its papa. Of course everybody will know it- is pretty when it resembles us. It.bas black eyes, dark hair and the sweetest little face, and the way it can cry is a caution to a Calliope--but then its little voice ie so charming, producing such harmony of sweet sounds. It was the first time we ever heard our baby's voice, and what a thrill of happiness did that little voice send through oar bosom. "But we are too hippy to express our feelings. We are at least two feet tall er than we were before our baby was born, and think ourselves good enough to become a preacher. We pity every body that hasn't got a baby, and as for old bachelors we entertain a sovereign contempt for them, and intend to lam the first one that presumes:to have the effrontery to speak to us. Poor old maids, from the bottom of our heart we feel sorry for them. Oh, that they could realize the happiness of a young mother with her first born. Young men and young ladies, too, our advice to you is, 'Go thou and do likewise "—it will make you feel so happy to have a baby. ' We warn everybody not to insult us, for we feel big enough and strong enough to whip every one of the seceded States back into the Union, and "a single man wouldn't be a taste for us. We are doubly sound on the Union issue now. We never intend to secede from eur baby." t,t TUE BEAUTY OF OLD PEOPLE.—..Men and women make their own beauty or their own ugliness. Sir Edward Bnlwer Lytton speaks in one of his novels of a man "who was uglier than ha had any business to be," and, if he could but read it. every human being carries his life in his face, and is good looking or the reverse as that life has been good or evil. On our features the floe chisels of thought and emotion are eternally at work. Beauty is not the monopoly of blooming young men and white pink maids. There is a slow growing beauty which only comes to perfection in old age. Grace belongs to no period of life and goodness improves the longer it ex ists. I have seen sweeter smiles on a lip cf seventy than I ever saw on a lip of seventeen. There is the beauty of youth, and the holiness—a beauty much more seldom met, and more frequently found in the arm-chair by the file, with grandchildren around its knee, than in the ball room or the promenade. Hus band and wife who have fought tile world side by side, who have made com mon stock of joy and sorrow, and grown aged together, are not unfrequently found curiously alike in personal ap pearance and in pitch and tone of voice —just as twin pebbles on the beach ex posed to the same tidal influences, are each other's alter ego. He has gained aleminitte something which brings his manhood into full relief. She has gain ed a masculine something which acts as a foil to her womanhood. ear A royal wedding—the marriage of the Princess Mary of Cambridge to Prince" Teck—took place at Kew, Eng land, Jane 12, in presence of the Queen and almost every member of the royal family. The church was crowded with the haute monde. The ceremony was performed by the B/hops of Canterbury and Winchester. „fter the services and a superb dejeuner, the happy pair took their departure for Ashbridge - Park, the seat of Earl Brownlow.

VOL. XII.-NO. 51. For the Mariettian. Lager Beer as a Medicine Those that recommend the use of beer 'as a medicine, maintain that it not only affords nourishment to the feeble and 'debilitated, but also supports vitality in periods of great prostration. We have already shown, in a former article, that the nourishing properties of Grain, be come disorganized through malting, and are not only unfitted to sustain life, but become, through this changed condition, potent causes of disease. Food nourish es by the changes that it undergo.. in the process of digestion; it is absorbe?, transformed, and assimilated ; substat.' cea that do not undergo these changes in the body, cannot afford it any nour ishment whatever. Alcohol enters the -stomach and is quickly taken out by the absorbent vessels and carried by the circulation, unchanged, to the lungs and other outlets; to be thrust away. In every stage of its removal it retains the identity by which it is detected an the exhalations of the drinkers breath. The autopsy of persons who have died in a debauch, always indicate alchohol in the circulation of the brain, in so dis tinct a form as to be indicated by the smell and by burning. Bat beer con tains but six to tea per cent of Alcohol, say its deferders, this is trae—but its other elements exist in such an impala. table state of decomposition, that to withdraw the Alcohol, would leave a nauseating slop that the most devoted drinker would repulse with disgust ; it is, therefore, the Alcoholic property alone, that popularizes it as a medicine, as well as a beverage. And it is this property that occasions vital resistance, when introduced into the human system, and upon this effect of its presence has been established the theory that liquors support vitality, this is one of the most caluntitous delusions of the present age -one that is sweeping from the earth more victims than barbarism and pesti lence combined. Life consists of a succession of chem. gee, the tissues of the body are constant ly wearing away, while °there are being formed ; so there is an unceasing build ing up and wearing down as long as life continues; any substance that, when introduced into the system, obstructs or arrests these changes, does but injure. Liquors possess that antiseptic property that prevents change, this animal or veg etable matter, if placed in alcohol, can be preserved for years. This antiseptic quality it possesses when in the human body as well as out of it, hence when it is used, great activity follows on the part of all the organs surrounding the seat of the stomach, to expel! it, and this excitement is regarded as an in crease of strength, when it is simply an augmented expenditure of power. An excited condition of any bodily function is not health promoting, but is disease producing, whether t be caused by ter ror from without, or obnoxious matter within ; for in either case there is a pro portionate depression tbat follows the preternatural excitement or disturbance. The feeble feel stronger from the use of beer, for a time, because their remaining vitality is being rapidly consumed, but the vital powers soon become exhausted in the struggle, and then the alcoholic medicine is said to have lost its effect, and other preparations are experiment ed with, until the entire fund of life is wasted away, and the victim finds relief in death. " But some persons who are suffering from debility use beer and re gain their health," this is the result of a large fund of vitality, sufficient to cast off both the original disease and its ally, but the recovery in such cases is lees complete, and always is at the expense of a greater expenditure of power than if beer were not used ; those that get well when it is used, would be sure to regain their health much sooner without it; and in cases where there is barely sufficient strength to cleanse the system of disease, the additional burthen of the liquor invariably turns the scale and the patient cannot recover, Lager beer cannot, therefore, afford strength to the human system under any circumstances, and is always a cause of disturbance and injury, and imperils health and life when ever used. B. S. or A story is told of a native of the "green isle of Erin," who with a neigh. bor had just landed from en emigrant ship. Noticing a brass button on the sidewalk, be picked it up, and, turning to the other, exclaimed " See here, Jamie ; what a due country this is, to be sure, where you git guineas wid bundles on ''em I" He bad doubtless found'a difficulty in picking tip guinea* before.
