DEAR FATHER, DON'T DRINK ANY MORE.

Sung to the tune of ‘ Dear Father, Come Home’

BY MRS, M, A. KIDDER. Dear father, dear father, why are you so sad, And why are the tears in your eyes?

Best of Liguos AlWayS OM aM, ave asney nat poor prther Bow:y dead

nd gone to hia home in the skies ? Let yeur own little Mary cli:nb up on your knee As she has many evenings betorey And 'f you would make mother bappy again, Dear father, don't drink any more,

Dear father, dear father, O! sing us the song That used to soothe brother to sleepy

And wake darling nether so smiling and glad— She lately does nothing but weep.

Let me lean on your breast as you sing, “Ilome

sweet Home,”

As otten you've sung it before,

And I'm sure it will seem like old bappy times; Dear father, doa’t drink any more.

Dear tather, dear father, don't go out to nigkt, "Tis stermy, and rains, as you see,

The table ie spread; and tie tea is poured out— Sit down between mother and me

rails We'll close up each window and door; How heppy wed be if you'd only stay bhome— Dear father, don’t drink any more,

A Miicuzre in Spite of Himself

‘I say, Edith, about this young Gladman |’

‘ Well, father dear, what about him ?’ said Edith Bellmore, while a teli-tale bicsh mantled her fair brow.

‘ What of him? Why, his visits here are quite too frequent.’

‘Not more so than many others, father. |

There is his friend Mr. Wheat, for instance.’ _ ‘ Quite a@ different person.

* Why, father, how can I do that, when he has never asked me!’

‘Nonsense! You girls know well enough how to give a fellow the cold shoulder, so as he never shall ask you. You know what I mean. Young Gladman is a lazy, good-for- nmthing fellow. Never will be worth a collar ahead. Not fora moment to be thought of asa proper suitor for you. Svuciety ex. pects and demands « brilliant match tor my daughter.

Frequently Sam Wheat visited Mr. Belle | mere's, and managed each time to get from

dith some little message, eome word which whispered hope to the soldier's lonely heart.

Accounts of young Gladman’s bravery and swiftly rising career often reached his friend; and befor? eix months had passed, he had reached the command of his company. | Regularly were theee good tidings convey- ed to Edith’s ear by the devoted friend.

One day, on his return from one cf those visits, he found seated in his office. waiting for him, one of the Assesacrs cf the Internal Revenue

‘Whoare you spraking, of Mr. Belle more?’ asked his wife.’

‘ Why, young Gladman !’

‘ Father did you not tell me I must—’

‘No, Mss. Yes, Miss. I mean, I did tell vou, you must not treat him sorudely. You xnow I did!’

‘ Is he not the young person that you said would be very good food for powder?’ asked his wife

‘No, madam. I am speaking of Captain Gladman a man of great patriotism and im- mense wealth. You refer toa very differrrt perecn I presume. Look here!’ and seizing up the paper, he pointed to the revenue te port.

‘ Almost a mililonaire. A noble feilow. Such bravery, too. I sball call on bim just as soon as hoe gete home, to express my precistion of bis services in behalf of hie counrty.’

‘ He returned yesterday, father. So Mr,

‘ Indeed! Then I shall order the carriage and cali this morning. And I think, Edith, if you have any patriotiem you will eecom- pany we. We should show him that his countrymen and women too appreciate him. I s!.all be ready in an hour.”

Eduh was glad enough to bave the per- mission to go And while ber father was directing the removal from the carriage of seme rare old wines, she found opportunity to bend ever the wounded man and whisper earnestly :

‘ Thank God for giving you back to as again. We will soon have you well and strong.”

Mr. Bellemore’s kindness was really op- Sam Wheat's eyes danced merrily. Every now ard then he would be seized with a vivient fit of coughing—a ruse to hide bia explosion of mirth.

‘ What is the matter, Sam; what are you laughing about?’ asked hie friend after the gucs's had gone.

‘On Ned, my boy, it is such fen to eee old Bellemore doing the patriotic. Hai ha! ba!’

‘| far I've done him injustice. I theught he had no thought exeept for gold and gain. Indeed, it is worth while getting wounded to fied out the value of your friends,’ said Gladman.
