PLEDGED WITH WINE..
Wnnt the Beautiful Bride Saw la the
Crystal Gohlet.
"Pledge vrith'vvino pledge with
wine!" cried the young and thoughtless
Harry Wood. "Pledge with wine," ran.
through the brilliant crowd.
The beautiful bride grew pale the
decisive hour had come she pressed
her white hands' together , and. the
leaves of her bridal wreath- trembled on
her pure brow; her breath came quick
er, her heart beat wilder From her
childhood she had been most solemnly
opposed to the use of wines and liquors.
"Yes, Marion, lay aside-your scruples
for this once," said the judge, in a low
tone, going toward his daughter; "the
company expect it, do not so seriously
infringe upon the rules of etiquette in
your own home act as you please; but
in mine, for this once please me."
Every eye "was turned toward the
bridal pair. Marion's principles were
well known- Henry had been a con-,
vivalist, but of late his friends noticed
the change in his manners, the differ
ence in his habits and to-night they
watched him to see, as they sneeringly
said, if he was tied down to a woman's
opinion so soon.
Pouring a brimming beaker, they held
it with, trembling smiles toward Ma
rion. She was verjr pale, though more
composed, and her hand shook not," as
smiling back, she gratefully accepted
the crystal tempter and raised it to her
lips. But scarcely had she done so.
when, every hand was arrested by her
piercing exclamation of "Oh, how ter
rible!" "What is it?" cried one and all,
thronging together, for she had slowly
carried the glass at arm's length, and
OH! HOW TERRIHtter
was fixedly regarding it as though it
were ome hideous object. -
"Wait,? she answered, while an In-,
spired light shone f rom, her dark eyes,
'twait and J, will tU you. ,1 see" she
added, slowly pointing one jeweled-finger
-at the sparkling ruby liquid, "a
sight that beggars all description; and
yet, listen; I will paint it for you if I
can. It is a lonely spot; tall moun
tains, crowned with verdure, rise in
awful sublimity around; a river runs
through, and bright flowers grow to the
water's edge.: There is a thick, warm
mist that the'sun seeks vainly to pierce;
trees,-lofty and beautiful, wave to the
airy motion ofthe birds; but there, a
group of Indians gather; .they flit to and
fro with something like sorrow upon
their dark brows, and in their midst lies
a manly form, buthis cheek, how death
ly; his ej4 wild with the fitful fire of
fever. One "friend stands beside him; I
should say kneels, for he is pillowing
that poor head upon his. breast.
4?0enius in ruins.- Oh, the high, holy
lookingbrow! '"Why should death mark
it,' and . he' so young? Look how he
throws, the damp curlsf See him clasp
his hands! Hear his thrilling shrieks
for life! Mark how he clutches at the
form of his companion, imploring to be
saved! Oh, hear him call piteously his
father's name; see him twine his fingers
together as he shrieks for his sister1
his only sister the twin of his soul
weeping. for him in his distant native
land.
"See! " she exclaimed, while the bridal
party shrank back, the untasted wine
trembling in their faltering grasp, and
the judge fell, overpowered upon his
seat; "see! - his arms are - lifted to
Heaven; he prays, how wildly, for
mercy! hot fever rushing through his
veins. The friend beside him is weep
ing, awe-Btricken; the dark men move
silently, and leave the living and dying
together. . . -
There was a hush In that princely par
lor, broken only by what seemed a
smothered sob from some manly bosom.
.4 -clFSW'''
The bride stood yet upright, with quiv
ering lip and tears stealing to the out
ward edge of her lashes. Her beauti
ful arm had lost' its tension, and the
glass, with its little troubled red waves,
came slowly, toward the range of her
vision ":. She spoke again t every lip was
mute.-Her voice was low, faint-, yet
awfully distinct. She still fixed her sor
rowful glance upon the wine cup. j
. "It is evening now; the great white
moon is coming up, and her beams lay
gently on his forehead. He moves not;
his eyes are set in their sockets; dim
are their piercing glances; in vain his
friend whispers the name of the father'
and sister death is there. Death, and
no soft hand," no gentle voice to bless
and soothe him- His head sinks backl
one conclusive Shudder! He is dead!" "
, A groan ran , through the assembly,
so vivid was her description, so inspired
her manner, that what she described
seemed actually to have taken place
then and there. They noticed also that
the bridegroom hid his face in his hands
and was weeping. '--'--. '
"Dead!" she repeated again, her lips
quivering faster and her voice more
and more broken, "and there they scoop
him a grave, and there, without. ' a"
shroud they lay him down in the damp,
reeking earth. The only son of a proud
father, the only idolized brother of a
fond sister, v And he sleeps to-day in
.that distant country, with no stone to
mark the spot. ; There he. lies my fa
ther's son my own twin brother, a vic
tim to the deadly poison. Father," she
exclaimed, turning suddenly, while the
tears rained down her beautiful cheeks,
"father, shall I drink it now?"
The form of the old judge was con
vulsed with agony. He raised his head,
but in a smothered voice he faltered:
"No, no, my child, in God's name no."
" She lifted'tbe glittering goblet, and
letting it suddenly fall to the floor, it
was dashed into a " thousand pieces.
Many a tearful eye watched her move
ments, and instantaneously every wine
glass was transferred ' to the marble
table on which it had been prepared.
Then, as she looked at the fragments of
crystal, she turned to the company, say
ing: "Let no friend, hereafter, who
loves me, tempt me to peril my soul for
wine. Not firmer the everlasting hills
than my resolve, God helping me, never
to touch or taste that terrible poison.
And he to whom I have given my hand,
who watched, over my brother's dying
form in that last solemn hour, and bur
ied the dear wanderer there by the river
in that land of gold, will, I trust, sus
tain me in that resolve. Will you not,
my husband?"
His glistening eyes, his sad, sweet
smile, was her answer.
The judge left the room, and when an
hour later he returned, and with a more
subdued manner took part in the enter
tainment of the bridal guests. ; No one
could fail to read that he, too, had de
termined to dash the enemy at once and
forever from his princely rooms.
Those who were present at that wed
ding pan never forget the impression
so solemnly made. Many from that
hour foreswore the social glass.

Three Ways to Deal with the Evil.
Mr. Charles Eliot Norton, of Harvard,
who during the past summer has made
some wholesome utrterancesin regard to
town and village hoodlumism and re
sulting crime, commenting upon the re
cent wholesale butchery by rum-crazed
ruffians in the town of Gorham, N: H.,
said: "The conditions that produce
such crimes should be met in three
ways. .
"First, a quickened sense of the re
sponsibility of parents for the restraint
or control of their children. i
"Secondly, a quickened sense of the
responsibility on the part of the town
officers for the checkingof evils at their
very beginning.
"Thirdly, a quickened sense of re
sponsibility on the part of the law
obeying and church-going portion of
the population in respect to the condi
tions and character of the community
to which they belong." " '

Intemperance threatens our .homes,
its labor, our manhood and our souls,

self-defense to protect ourselves from
the abuses by which evil threatens all
we hold dear. Mgr. Conaty.
