the young ‘ball’s eye’ flashed along the street. 1 had stopped a short distance from the rroup, uncertain at first whether I should terfere,as I was afraid it might produce irm instead of good, until my anger at the young man’s unfeeling conduct im- pelled me to interpose. The watchman, however, had unexpectedly appeared upon the scene and as he heard the sound of weeping, quickened his steps.

‘Come, now, doa’t make any noise here but be off home!’ be exclaimed in the rather gruff tone of his calling, and wife and husband rose, the babe still in it’s father’s arms.

‘Oh, sir don't do anything to him! It wasn’thim; it wasn’t him; it was only me erying. Don’t do anything to him,

r wife overcame his anger | at the druuken husband. Yes, there lay | the secret of the whoie scene. Yet the young workman—a decent, comely look- ing young man, was not so much under the influence of the horrid curse but that he could walk steadily along, his gentle wife walking beside him, and pleading with him to give her the ‘baby;’ but when they turned the corner of the silent street and were hid from my view, the | child wes still in the arms of its father.

They reached their home, a humble one in a lowly quarter of the town, but the | neatness which reigned around betokened the presence of woman’s gentle hand. He | lay down to sleep of the effect of the drink | which he had taken, while his loving wife | after seeing him comfortably reposing, with a sad and sorrowful heart attended to her ehild.

One would have thought who had heard the storm of abuse which William Mal- cholm showered upon his wife,in language which at tmes was horrible to hear, that | he was was a brutual wretch, devoid of feeling ; but he would have been mistaken. When sober, he was one of the kindest of | husbands, and loved his babe with an | almost womanly love. But when the demon DRINK had taken possession of |

pity for the }

soul, ah! then—alas! that so many should | know the horid brutality which the poison | instils into the heart of its victims.

The hours sped slowly on. In the! of the night anxious mother was awakened by a strange noise whith she had never before noticed in her child’s ithing. The mother's heart was alarm- and in her anxiety she awakened ker hush ind.

‘Willie, Willie, dear, there’s somethiag the matter with the baby .

‘Oh, it’s only a slight cold she’s got. She’ll be better in the mornin’,’? he mute | tered, half awake and rather angrily at | being disturbed, and then turned to sleep. Sleep visited not the mother’s eyes ; anxie- ty for the child was above all other thoughts. She lay awake listening to the hoarse noise, and half afraid again wo dis- turb her husband, Even she thought it was only a cold which the child had got, in ailment to which it was rather prone. in the stillness ot the night, and with all her feeling strung to hear the slightest note of alarm she fancied the childs breath- ing was getting hoarser. Yes, there was no doubt of it; her Labe was getting worse.

‘ Willie, dear Willie, do waken dear! Baby’s very ill.’’

‘What? Who says baby’s ill ?’ he ex- claimed, starting up.

‘ flush, Willie,do you hear that strange noise ?’

The father was now thoroughly awake and in his right mind. Yes, he heard the noise—a hoarse, croaking poise which accompanied the child’s every breath. He was alarmed now, and love for the vabe was the uppermost feeling in his heart.

‘Hadn’t you better go for the doctor, Willie?’ asked his wife gently.

‘Oh, yes, Jessie! I'll go at once, and the father hurridely prepared to epart.

‘ Don’t be long, Willie dear.’

‘ Never fear, Jessie, I'll be as fast as I

can.’

Out into the night ; the wind blew right in his teeth, as if it would shiver his very frame. But what cared he for the wind ? Was not his child ill—perhaps dangerous- ly ill? The thought sent a thrill of agony through his heart, and he rushed on faster than before. The nearest doctor must be sought. He reached the house and rang the bell.

‘Is the doctor quivering lip.

‘No, sir, he was called out some time ugo;’ aad the servant maid, none the more civil because she had been awakened

in? he asked with

He must go for his own doctor then. ‘Oh that he would be in!’ he rushed through the street, the watchman, as he walked his weary round looking saspicious- ly at him as he passed. He rang the bell. Minutes seemed to pass, and still no one answered. At last the door opened.

‘Is Dr. Smith in?’ He was almost afraid to look the servant in the face, lest he might read the dreadful answer in her eyes.

Te,"

Strange that that simple word should have such power to lift such a load from his mind,

Wiliam Malcolm was ushered into a room and the doctor presently came in. The father hurriedly described the sym- ptoms of his child’s illness—the croaking

too lew a tone, however, for the parents to hear him. Various remedies were tried , ali that a skillful physician could do was lone. but of no avail. The child was past all human help, and reluctantly and soothingly the kind doetor told the agon- ised parents. The mother sat tearfully down to watch her dying babe the father stood as if stunned ‘he could not at first take ja the full extent of his sorrow. the bitter thought became fully realized in his mind he caught the doctor by the arm, and with wildness in his tone cried out—

Oh! doctor! save baby; save her— save her! She must not die, doctor! If she dies doctor, I’ve killed her. Ob, save her! save baby! Oh, doctor can’t you save baby?’

The doctor quietly placed him on a chair, ‘William, your child is past all human aid—no power on earth can save her. Do not forget this: ‘The Lord wave, and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord?’ Bea man, William, and don’t give way thus.’

Oh! it is difficult to comfort the heart when the object of its dearest affection is convulsively breathing the last breath, and nothing can saye—not all the gold on earth, not all the love in the most loving of human hearts.

The doctor spoke comfortingly to the sorrowing tather, who hung over his dying child, watchiog every motion of its little frame with intense earnestness. A sudden paryoxsm, a short struggle, and the first- orn lay asleep in its mother’s arms. Asleep in Jesus, at last! No more should the feeble breath be painfully drawn, por the little limbs racked with convulsive pain; po more should the bright blue eyes

| look lovingly into the mother’s face nor

the sweet voice lispachildish welcome to the welcomed father.

The kind doctor had departed, his last words directiug the sorrowful hearts to that future where they might meet their

eloved one, and the parents were left alone in t's presence of the dead. The poor mou oked a last fond look on +; the father buried his head in his hands and wept—strong tears such as only a man can weep.

The sun rose in all the sparkling bril- liancy of a winter morning, and the warm suulight streamed into the desolate dwell- ing, making it still more desolate. Why did the sun shine on sorrow like theirs ? Ah mourner! does it not lead the weary soul from this sin-clouded world, to where thy babe rests lovingly, in the sunlight of its Father’s smiles,

And still the sorrow-stricken father sat there, his head buried in his hands as if to shut out all recollection ot his loss. The tears were bitter tears that trickled thro’ the claspen hands, but they were sweet in the relief they brought to a repentant heart. And when his wife went and knelt beside him and gently whispered ‘Willie,’ the husband raised his head, and saw the sweet face looking lovingly through its tears into his.

‘ Oh, Jessie !’

The strong arms were thrown round her neck, and the bereaved ones im their deep sorrow clung to each other with a stronger love—a love knit by the bonds of death.

By the side of their dead babe, in the presence of Him who ean heal all sorrows the husband and wife knelt loving to- sod prayed—a deep and earnest prayer that God helping them, another drop of the accursed drink should NEVER AGAIN TOUCH THEIR Lips. And although the bright blue eyes were closed, 2 sweet smile hovered over the dead child's face,

/ an angel’s testimony that the prayer had

been heard in its Father’s house.

One night a trombone player wished to be absent from the orchestra in a New York theatic, and, as there was another trombone, instead of asking leave of the leader he resorted to the expedient of getting a friend to go in and take his seat. Watch the other trombone,’ said he to his friend, ‘puff out your cheeks well, keep your fingers active, look alive, and you will pass muster.’ All went right until a passage for two thrombones was reached. Not asound from the instru- ments was heard. It turned out that both thrombone-players has resorted to the same ruse.

A charming aneedote is told concerning the late Felician David. <A little time be- fore his i he applied to be admitted to the Ac ny of fine arts, and pefore- hand every member formally promised to support his election. When the day ara rived no one voted for him. One of the vow-breakers called upon him immediate~ ly afterwards. ‘Perhaps you have been astonished,’ he said to David, ‘ at what has taken place.’ ‘Certainly,’ replied the artist.’ ‘ Well, the fact is,’ said the Ac- ademician, ‘ that we had a prize of 20,000 franes to bestow. We could not give it to one of our own mémbers, and as we thought it might be of more use to you than a nominal honor, we did not elect you.’ The following day David received the money, which was very welcome to to him, as he was very far from being a rich man.

On the first of the Isst months a gentles man well known in Boston, and a dealer in tea there, came to this place to see a cousin be had never before the pleasure of meeting, and was prevailed upon to stay over night After all had retired the family heard the stranger walking the floor above them, but supposing that be would call them if he was unwell or needed any ass stance, they soon fell asleep. In the morning he told his friend that he had a very singular dream, not only once, but several times over. He dreamed that he had cut a man’s throat from ear to ear, and so vivid was the picture he cou!d not sleep. After laughing over the matier a little he took breakfast aud proceeded to the depot, assuring the wife of his friend taat upon arriving in New York he would tele- graph to her upon what day she might look for a small chest of tine tea that he had pros mised her. ‘The telegram came as agreed, saying it wonld be at the express office the next day.

Supmisston.—There comes a terrible mo- ment to many souls when the great move ments of the world, the larger destines of kind, which have lain aloof in newspapers and other neglected reading, enter like an earthquake into their own lives; when the slow urgency of growing generetions turns into the thread of an invading army or the dire,clash of civil war, and grey fathers know nothing to seek for but the corpses of their blooming sons, and girls forget all vanity,to make lint and bandages which may serve for the shattered limbs of their betrothed hus- bands. Thon itisas if the Invisible Power that has been the object of lip-worship and lip-resignation became visible according to the imagery of the Hebrew poet, making the flames bis ehariot and riding on the wings of the wind, till the mountains smoke and the plains shudder under the rolling fiery visitation. Ofien the good cause seems ‘o lie prostrated under the thunder of unre- lenting forces ; the martyrs live reviled, they die, and no angel is seen holding forth the crown anil the palm branch.
