A TEMrEHAKCE TALE.
Rome years ngo, when the (emper
ance movement was airltatlnir ihe
minds of many my own among oth
ers I had been spending the evening
with a friend, who urged me with the
warmth of true friendship to take the
pledge?. Now, I had never been a
tippler, and it seemed unmanly (so I
thought) to do so, us it implied a want
of confidence in my own powers of
resistance (alas. I did not like to re
member how often tluty had heen test
ed and found wanting.) and I had left
him in an undecided and unsotlsfled
frame of mind. It was under these
circumstances that, while making my
way up stiver, my attention was
arrrestcd by seeing a delicate lady
like woman peering timoroiwly but
earnestly in at the door of ngreot glar
ing rum palace. I was the rribfe sur
prised, because it was a bitter cold
March evening, one o( those when
every one yon meet looks bine and
withered; and the gentle sex crowd
around thcireomfortahle fires at home;
and she was clearly no frequenter of
such places.
Feeling curious to ascertain her oli
jeer, I went in and sat down in the
parlor, where then! were some dozen
persons assembled. I was at once
struck by (he appearance of a young
man, probably about eight and twenty
or thirty, who was carrying on an an
imated argument with a gentleman
near bini. on the rival merits of Hums
and Tom Moore. The aptness of his
((notations, and points of his anecdote,
showed him thoroughly master of his
Subject, while the grace and bentltV of
his language bespoke tlie scholar and
aecompllslied gentleman. The, broad
high forehead, and the restless, dark
grey eye, told of talent if not of geni-U-,
aial a small, white hand and ex
quisitely modulated voice indicated
gentle birth and breeding, all strange
ly out of keeping with his dress,
(which was shabby and slovenly in
the extreme.) the place and his com
panions. A the argument became
more and more animated, he tossed
off glass after glass with a rapidity
that was astonishing, and apparently
almost unconsciously; but the fiery
alcohol was liegmnuig to toll, and als
ruptly breaking off the Argument, he
poured tortu a heatit mil melody.
His auditors plied him with gtaaftcr
glass of his favorite rum. and song fol
mwed song in rapid succession ! but,
alas! the fire of genius was fast fading
from the eye. and giving place to the
unmeaning vacant stare of semi-idiocy,
and the rich, mellow voice was
becoming thick and uncertain. Con
scious that lie was now as much Iv
neath his hearers as he was before
above them, he itjsc and staggered to
the door, but Ihe fatal cravings fur
stimulants was too strong lor him to
resist, and he stopped at the bar to
add one more (h op to Hie liquid fire
that was coursing watity thlWlgh hi
veins.
And now again I noticed the anx
ious, timid, peering glance of the dell-;
cite lady I had first observed outside,
but this time she had a little child in j
her arm-, a lovely little girl, of about
five or six. She had her father's rich,
brown huh', which fell iii clusterhiB !
curls around her open toivliead. and
over her fair rounded shoulders, her
soft hfllei eyes beaming with tender
ness and affection.
Tlic min was now falling fast, and
I held 0H'ii the door for the lady and
her child toenfer; with murmured
(banks she passed and tremblingly ap
proached her husband, said t
"John, dear, had you not better
come homo!' It is getting late."
An Imprecation on her and home,
too, was his only answer, as he flung
'"fife rontetits of the glass over her;
with an oath; he bade her begone, and
when she tnrueit to obev him, with a
still fiercer oath, he boiM Mr leave tlie
child. 'Ilie struggle in M Mtou
breast between fear of her ehllds safe
ty and a desire to obey her husband
was painfully apparent on her care
worn countenance; but she obeyed
placing the child by its father, return
ed to Iter weary watch outside the
door. Tiwt he was proud and fond
of his child, as well lie might be was
clear enough, but he could scarcely
stand steady a moment, and hating
taken the child up in ins arms, its
danger was evident to all. The tor
tured mother could no longer bear the
suspense, and she rushed In to take
the child. With an oath he warned
her off, and raised his arm to strike
her, but the Htttle peacemaker threw
one arm around his neck and the oili
er around her mother's, and, with)
gentle violence, drawing them togeth
er, said :
"Dear papa, kiss momma; don't
strike her."
In an Instant, the one noble feel hip
still uucoutoiuhiated by the blighting
Infiueme of drink, Hushes his check
and brow, tears, at the thought ot I he
base, cowardly act he liad so nearly
perpetrated, rise to his eyes ; drawing
ids gentle wife to him, as tlie little an
gel of peace had requested,, he im
prints a kiss on her now sunlit face,
and with one arm encircling that gen
tle, loving, long-sufieriug woman, lie
quits, let us boK! forever, tlsit danger
ous place. Xced 1 add that my doubts
were solved, and when I next saw my
friend I had taken the pledge f
Home seven years after this occur
rence I was passing tlie selfsame
bouse, and all tin; circumstances came
vividly hack to my mind; curiosity,
and perhaps a better feeling prompted
me to enquire if the same landlord
was thei-e, and if he could tell me any
thing of Hie persona who liad so deep
ly interested me. 1 briefly recalled
the circumstances, and asked him if
he lecolected them.
"Ay, ay, sir," be said, "tliat little
lass you saw, lost me one ot my best
customers, Mr. 1" I started at tlie
name, for it was one that was begin
ning to fill Fume's trumpet. "Mr.
, at the time you speak of, used
to he here every day of the week and
all day long; lie was quite a gentle
man, and uncommon smart at taint
ing ; hut bless you, sir, he would do
nothing hut drink and smoke, so peo
ple would not give him commissions ;
and I beard tell that they were very
badly off, lioor things, for it was only
when they were without a penny tliat
he would turn to and paint ajfiittle
picture or do a job of a sign or the
like; but since that night that you
and me remcinlH-r so well, lie lias
buckled to in good earnest ; he lias
got a fine bouse, nnd people tome in
their own carriages to get him to mint
them. The world's gone well with
me, sir, so I have got him to take my
two little ones ; and as you seem to
take an interest in him, we can make
an excuse to go and sec how tlic pic
ture is getting on."
I gladly assented and a cab soon
took us to Mr. door. The foot
man, recozuiziiis my companion, ush
ered us into a handsomely furnished
drawing-room, while ho went to seek
Air. lu ins studio. A lovely wo
man was seated at a table, bending
over a water color drawing, and It
was with dilliculty that I could bring
myself to believe that it was the same
careworn, timid woman 1 had seen
seven years before, on that bleak
March night at the door of the nun
palace ; yet such was the rase. Hap
piness and content, those vernal show
ers of the soul, had gently done their
genial, gracious bidding, and in the
happy consciousness ot a husband's
love regained, of a noble spirit raised
from degradation to rectitude, honor
and fame, she shone out in her true
character a high-minded, Christian
woman. Over tlie mantlepleee was
an exquisite miniat ure of a child, with
Soft hazel eyes, and clustering chest
nut curls, and underneath was written
in small old English characters, "iJwir
yjiC, kim Minima, dmi't strike her."
Need 1 say that this was tlie little
peacemaker, and that ten times its
weight In rubies would not have pur
chased the limned likeness of the dar
ling child that Cither and mother alike
loved so fondly and so well !
T.INKD. I was in a drug store in
Ellttlrn, when in rushed a fellow who
called for a pound of camphor and
downed the whole of it. It was a sur
prise parly to me. and I said, "what
the deuce did he do that fori?"
"Why." said drugs "lie is lined."
'Lined," says I, "what is that?
Then lie told me.
Sonic years since a gentleman who
was nliout to give ai dinner party,
Snt a whole week showing his ser
vants how to make mock turtle soup.
When the day came, she made tlw
mock, and the turtle, and the soup all
right, and ju-t as she was about to
pour lu a bottle of claret, a little lioy
cntered singing, "Kverylhiug is love
ly and the goose hangs high," which
distracted her attention, and she made
a mistake and poured in a whole bottle
of hair tonic.
"1)1(1 it make hair soup?" said I.
meekly.
"Alas!" said he. "the results were
sad."
"What were Ihe results?" said I.
"Darn it," said he, "didn't I just
sav they were sad t"
"lint," said I. "how did the mock
turtle wind up?"
"Ah," said he. "two went to the
Morgue, four to the hospital and all
who didn't die were called the sur
vivors, and that tellow you just saw
was one of 'em."
"What the devil does he swallow so
much camphor for?" says I.
"Well," he said, "that tonic start is I
the lmir growing down his throat, and
he took the camphor to keep the
moths out."
Said a tipsy husband to his wife.
"You need needn't bl-ame me, 'Twas
Woman that first tern-tempted mau to
eat forbidden things." "Thaji won't
do," retorted tlie indignant wife.
"Woman may have first tempted man
to eat forbidden things, but lie took to
drinking of his owu accord."
