That ever soothes ray weary heart to real
And comes, my longing soul's most welcome

Life robbed of love is but a wilderness
Where anxious hearts o'erburdened with dis-

Forever seek content and peace to know " .
And only find unrest and pain and woe. , ;
weary love, of earth's unceasing far,
"Where hope is but a dim, half-hid den star,

Then let me hear thy loving tones repeat
Soft, melting tones, with tenderness replete,
Bay "but I lore thee" and all lire shall be ,
A glowing dream of perfect joy to me.

"Thftre must be alcohol in it." said
Eirdie, with soft wondering tones.
Judge Alston chuckled audibly.
"Undoubtedly." he answered.
"But

mixed with fine honey, mafces a drinK nt

stimulant.".
"Let me taste it," said the young girl, J
who had replaced the cut-glass decanter i
upon the sideboard, and' was watching
her uncle slowly stir the beverage she
had minded for him. She ladled some
crushed ice into a champagne glass and
held it out to her uncle, who responded
to her invitation bv pouring a few tea-
spoonfuls of his beverage into her glass.
"It is delicious." she said, slowly sip-
nincr the dilated tipple. "I could be
come very fond of it, I am sure in
lime. Perhaps I could even accustom
mvself to drinking it as you do yours,
with only a dash of ice to intensify the
flavor."
Judcre Alston glanced at his pretty
niece as he eet down the goblet he had

tones, rather than her words attracted
his attention. The fine, thoughtful
face was turned slightly, revealing the
delicate profile of oval cheek, drooping
evelid and blue-veined temple over
which the glossy brown hair waved in
soft folds. The short upper lip betok
ened the quick wit of the owner, while
its sweet, sad, down-drooping curve gave
a pathetic expression to. a countenance
"wholly fair."
Judge Alston, as he scanned the quiet
face, was conscious of a vague sense of
wonder as to whether or not he fully
comprehended its fair owner. eing an
astute man he did not attempt to inter
ret unspoken thoughts. He contented
limself with answering the expressed
word. ,
"Yes, it is delicious," he said, and,
moreover, strengthening.
"For the present time, l suppose you
mean." replied his niece. "All alcoholic
stimulants, I have heard, are like bank
able notes they discountt the future.
"Perhaps, perhaps," assented Judge
Alston, conscious again of a vague sense
of mystification. "A man's note of hand
for ninety days is a great strengthener
when money must be forthcoming
whether "or no. It tides one over, as we
say and so, when a man is run down,
or hard pressed, mentally or phjaically,
a draught of good spirits steadies his
nerves and stimulates him to an activity
that he could not have exercised without
its influence."
"xes, said the young girl, her eyes
still fixed on the dissolving mixture in
the glass, with which she toyed absent
ly, and from which she took an occasion
al sip. "I remember to have heard
Uncle Aleck say something like that. He
once thought it wise' -3d well to take a
glass of brandy just before beginning
any important operation. He fancied
the unusual stimulant steadied his nerves
and increased his energies. But he hard
ly understood how to regulate this re
markable influence, and once it failed to
serve him. It mastered him. Under its
influence he committed an error of judg
ment, that cost the life of his patient. I
think Unole Aleck has .never been the
same man since. I am very certain that
he has changed his views in regard to
the beneficial influence of alcoholic stim
ulants. He refuses to use them himself,
and he will never prescribe them."
The judge moved uneasily in his easy
chair,
"Yes," he answered, "that was an un
fortunate affair of Aleck's. ' And it has
had a bad effect upon the fellow made
him a fanatio on the subject. He runs
to extremes."
: "He has a burden on his conscience,"
said the young girl, lifting her eyes from
the glass and letting their wide open gaze
fall straight into her -uncle's face. The
judge was uncomfortable. How very
unpleasant his pretty niece was making
his after dinner leisure hour. And all
the while without saying anything that
he could gainsay or refute. In spite of
himself he was forced to give assent to
all her words. ." ; '
"Yes, yes; a most unlucky affair it
was," he said, "in more ways than one.
More's the pity."
Jessie slowly tilted her glass over and
drained the last drop into the teaspoon.
"It is very nice indeed," she said, as
she raised the epoon to her lips.
Her uncle seemed much relieved anti
laughed aloud. ,
"I see he hasn't inoculated you with
his teetotal fanaticism, he said. You sip
the beverage with the dainty gusto of a
connoisseur." ?
"Yet I am not a connoisseur, uucle,""
replied his niece. "I am only a tyro.
This is my flf s glass and my last so
help me God," she added; with a solemn
ity of voice and manner that startled the
judge, used as he was to the familiar
phrase. ' ' ;V , .-
"Why, bless me, Birdie, what ails
you?" he asked, with a slight" shade of
asperity in his tone. "You seemed to
enjoy your glass mightily." '
"It was very enjoyable," answered
Jessie. "Peach and honey is certainly de
licious to the. taste. I understand now
why Harry is so crazy after it."
"Harry?" exclaimed the judge, in tones
of surprise. "Harry?"
"Yes, sir; he has often coaxed me to
mix some peach and honey for him. He
says he likes brandy very much better
than wine."'"", ;:y-. 1 -t :" . -'".
"Harry? my Harry?" asked the judge,
incredulously.
"Yes, sir; my cousin Harry. I sup
pose you know that he has his glass of
wine with his governess at dessert."
"Yos; I allow that. It is light wine.
There is no harm in it, . In fact,it assists
digestion. But what does the boy know
of brandy?"
"He says he has often drank from your
glass after you have left it."
Jadga Alston frowbed.
I do not allow this," he said, posi
tively. "Will you oblige me, Jessie, by
ringing for Jeff? , We will see into this
matter. I am obliged to you, iiircue,
for bringing it to my attention. I shall
reprimand Miss Delange for her negli
gence." j
"Jeff, he said to tne waiter wno ap

"Perhaps Miss Delange may not de

may not know of Harry s habit. It is pos
sible that he has not confided in her as
he has in me." '
"We will ascertain ," said her uncle,
briefly, and. sat silent until the appear
ance of Miss Delange and her charge. .
"You have sent for us, sir?" asked the
young lady, entering the room, holding
master Harry by the hand.
"I have. Pray be seated, it is on a

which the gathering had been seated.
The lodge turned and saw bis son, a
jad of eight years, with his head thrown
back and both bands clasped over the
goblet that had held his beverage.greed
ii draining the small portion that re
mainea in it. .
"Harry Alston I, cried his father, in
tones of wrath, "how dare you?
And he struck; the glass from the
child's hands. It fell, shivered to atoms
by the blow.
"How dare yon? he repeated. The
astonished boy made no reply, but stood
with wide open eyes and parted hps,
looking from one to another of the faces
about him. Then bursting into tears he
ran and hid his face in his cousin Jessie's
lap.
"Can yon give me any explanation of
this, Miss Delange?" asked Judge Alston
almost sternly. "How came the boy by
this taste?" i
innocently, "I can only Buppose that he
has inherited it. g
The quick flush that rose to the judge's
face showed plainly to Jessie, if not to
Miss Delange. that the candid answer
had struck a blow.! ,
"Pardon m8," ho answered. "I should
not have put my question thus. Have
you been aware of anything like like
this before, Miss Delange? The boy has
swallowed at least a tablespoon ful of
brandy, taw, except as diluted with a
little strained honey. It is enough to
craze him." j
"1 have tnown nothing oi it, sir, re
plied Miss Delange. "You know, sir,
that he is sometimes sent for by you
when you have mends dining with you.
I suppose he has acquired the taste for
brandy while enjoying theso little treats.
It is possible that the has done before,
unseen by you, what you have just wit
nessed. Certainly, to my knowledge.be
ha3 taken nothing stronger than the
light wine furnished with my dessert.
Jbut I havo heard! him say that papa s
brandy was very nice indeed far better
than our wine. I supposed that you
must have given him occasional tastes
of it." j
Judge Alston opwed. "lour suppo
sition was natural J but it was erroneous.
Brandy is not for children."
Then turning t0 the child, who had
dried his sudden tears, and was listening
eagerly to the conversation, he said
gently, "Come to papa, my boy. Tell
me where you gotlfiisfc your taste of this
vile stuff." j
"Ho, ho! shouted the child.reassured
by the change in his father's manner.
"'Tisn't vile stuff. It's jolly good
stuff. You said so your own self. Don't
you remember? You told Dr. Merry it
would make a new! man of him; and you
coaxed Qen. Thompson to drink some
when he didn't want it a bit, 'cause you
said it would cheer him up. You said
peach and honey was the best of all good
drinks; and so it is. I've tasted it out
of the company's glasses when you all
went into the smoking room. I like it.
I think you might! let cousin Jessie give
me some." He stopped suddenly. His
quick eye detected the chamgagne glass.
"Did you have some peaoh and honey,
cousin Jessie?" he asked. "Aha ! You
said it was deadly poison. But I knew
better. I knew papa wouldn't drink
poison. Papa drinks it, and I mean to
drink it."
"Stop, stopl" said his father.
"Why, you said it was good "began
the child, looking; up with bold confi
dence into his father's face.
"But not for little boys," the judge
made haste to say as he reseated him
self and drew the child toward him.
"Papa is very sorry that his little son
has ever tasted of lit. It must never hap
pen again. We must put a stop to it."
Harry amused himself by toying with
the seals that hung from his father's fob.
To his dying day Judge Alstone could
never forget the, air and attitude of the
innocent child, as with the nnconscious
graoe of childhood he resting his cheek
on one dimpled palm, leaning his elbow
on his father's knee, and looking hp into
his face with large, lustrous eyes, shin
ing with unwonted brilliancy already im
parted to them by the subtle stimulant.
he answered, with a slight shake of his
golden-tressed head." "I believe it is too
iate for
that.
like it just as well as
you do."
Was it the vain and meaningless prat
tle of a baby? Alas, Jndge Alston tried
to persuade himself to believe it only
that.
He sternly and peremptorily forbade
the child to touch another drop, and he
called the servants and charged each
with the duty of seeing to it that no
chance of obtaining any liquor other
than the light wine used at the gover
ness' dinner table, should be permitted
the child; and then, with an admonitory
caution to Miss Delange concerning her
added duty in this respect, he dismissed
from his presence 'all but his niece.
But he could j not dismiss from his
mind the happenings of the hour. His
motherless boy, the pet and pride of his
house and hearli, was in danger. He
could not rid himself of the conviction.
"What can we do, Birdie?" he asked
his niece presently, as he turned to her
with ""an air of increased respect, since
comprehending her motives and her
action. j - -
"Shall I answe you honestly, uncle?"
asked the youngj girl. "There are two
things that may be done in order to save
Harry." . I
"One is?" said per uncle.
"Banish all liquor from your table
and sideboard, jand by your own ex
ample " .
The judge shoolkhis head. - '
"Then send Harry to Uncle Aleck. He
had bettor become ft f aaatlo than
drunkard.
Judge Alston's face crimsoned. "
"You use needlessly harsh language,
Birdie," he said. "A man may enjoy
his fine liquors temperately, as a gentle
man should enjoy all his pleasure
There is no need to apply degrading
epithets, my dear. I cannot be separated
from my boy.
"Then, said Jessie, rising, "I sup-
pose he must tajce his chances, jr oor
Harry."
She passed out of the room, her uncle
making ho effort to detain her.
"How exceedingly uncomfortable th3
girl makes one," he muttered, as a few
moments later he roused himself and
looked about him.
"After all, what does it amount to?
The boy has a few sips of good spirit
and smacks his lips over it. Doubtless I
did the same thing at his age. Yet I am
none the worse for it .He is but a chip
of the old block. Birdie has lived under
Aleck's gloomy influences until she has
become saturated with his fanatical no
tions. But what a shrewd little person
She is, withal. And what forceful mea
sures she would employ. They are
equal to the terms she uses."
A slight scowl contracted his brow as
he recalled the objectionable word-
drunkard. Then, still bearing his niece's
sharp, incisive speech in mind,7 he re
peated her. last words and endorsed
them in the repitition.
"I suppose he must take his chances.
Poor Harry."
Ten years, later the chances had been
all taken, and Harry Alston, in the first
flush of youth was brought to his lath
er's bouse, as he had been brought many
times before, for the last time. In a
drunken frolic he had received a fatal
wound. Dying, he uttered words that
never for an hour left the tortured
memory of his heart-stricken father.
"Ob lather, if yon had only set me
the example! If you had only tried to
save me! If you had only told me truly,
before it was too late!
And so, with wailing and upbraiding.
his young life ebbed away. Poor
Harry!
Ijorg, lonely years passed over the
head of Judge Alston. At the mouth of
the boy's grave he abjured King Alcohol,
and ny a supreme eflort broke loose
from his thralling chains. But though
for years he lived, a useful and honored
member of society, he lived his life in

clouds and darkness settled around his
soul. He walked apart from the world
that had known him so long; and of al
the memories of a crowded experience
enly one remained the memory of a fair
haired boy, whose innocent eyes looked
up into his with trusting love, but
whose presence had vanished, he knew
not whither.

remands of a
Fashionable Marriage.
Tom is m love. He thinks it will be
easy to economize his expenditure when
he settles down with the "dear little
girl" in a home of his own. "A fellow
spends such a deuce of a lot on rushing
about giving fellows breakfasts and on
suppers after the play," he thinks.
"Gertrude's father is giving us the house
and f urnitnre and we shall live quietly
for a bit. We've invitations three deep
for autumn and winter already, so that
will save us no end of expense. By the

thos9 bothering Jews."
Gertrude is not quite so much in love
as Tom is. She has accepted him more
for the sake of having a home of her
own aud for release , from the thralldom
and narrowness of domestic arrange-
ments consequent upon the existence of
six sisters and three brothers, the latter,
as usual, being extravagant in propor
tion to the restricted means of their pa
rents. '
"It is perfectly awful to be the young
est sister," Gertrude has often said. "I
hardly ever get a chance to go out, and
as to a really new dress, I seldom, expect
it now. Now Tom has heaps of money.
I shall have as many Dew dresses as I
like and a new bonnet for every new
dress. We shall give at least two dances
every season and a few nice little din
ners and so on."
While reading the Morning Post Tom
chances upon an account of the wedding
presents given to his bride by Sir Some
body Something diamonds enough to
stock a small ehop, with a goodly cata
logue of sapphires, emeralds and rubies.
He feels a little uneasy. "I .must give
her some little thiDg," he says, "but it
can't be much." A pair of diamond ear
rings and a lace pin to match accompany
him on his usual visit in the afternoon.
Gertrude is delighted with them; but.
alas for poor Tom! He little knows that
now he has begun to give her jewelry
she will expect a fresh installment every
few days up to and inclusive of the wed
ding morhing. -
"The girls think they would like
bracelets," she tells him one afternoon!
"Oh, do they?" he asks, a little mysti
fied. "Yes. Gold would do, with our anited
monograms in brilliants. It will have to
be seen about at once, for they muBt, of
course, be made to your order."
Gertrude's six sisters are to be supple
mented by two of his cousins and two
bosom friends of his bride, in the bridal
traid. Tom orders the bracelets- the next
morning and on leaving the jeweler's shop
jumps into a hansom and after a quarter
of an hour's ride, out of it again at the
door of a shabby " house not a hundred
miles from Leicester square. Here lives
the chosen gentleman who negotiates
loans for him at ruinous percentage from
"his friend in the city." '
The wedding day comes and goes.
Tom has looked ? pale and nervous
throughout " the ceremony. His male
friends think that; by calling him "old
fellow" an enormous number of times
they are doing him much service. The
best man knows what is wron'g. Last
night his friend had said to him:
"If I bad known then what I do now,
I'd never have done It or at least I'd have
waited a year, or two. I'm in no end of a
mess. 4 That fellow refuses to advance
any more money. The last 300 pounds
was at; 70 per cent. It'll barely see us
over the wedding trip. Gertrude wants
to go on to Borne and stay a few weeks
there. Money runs out like water when
one is traveling. I can't see my way.old
r. I was an awful asa to think or mar
rying."
This may be an extreme case and it
may be hoped that few end so disastrous-
y as did this but a few months since. It
was as a smose in the nostrils of society
or some small part of nine days. We
ive too fast now for wonders to be re
membered so long as they used to be.
Some sensible persons have inaugur
ated reforms in more tban one expensive
particular of the wedding ceremony. A
high-bred girl, courageous as lovely,
walked to the altar one sunny morning,
unattended by a single bridesmaid. On
another occasion there was no Redding
breakfast and consequently delightful
immunity! no speeches Wedding-trips
hat last three days, or almost a week,
are immensely in favor. All these are
improvements upon the stereotyped old
customs.
There still remains much to be done.
Not manv days aco an ambitious little
lady determined that her twelve brides
maids should evidence in their appear
ance the possession of both riches and
generosity by the bridegroom. They
did. Huge boquets of oicuids and other
rarest hothouse flowers were earned by
the twelve, the blossoms outshining in
their southern brilliancy the exquisite
pendants of diamonds of the first water
that formed the bridegroom's more per
manent gifts. That lady proved her own
selfishness in the same moment that she
managed that her husband should dis
play his wealth, which is by no means
excessive. Yhitehall lieview.
Ready Writing.
The recent practical reform in compo
sition writing which has been introduced
in our schools will be beneficial beyond
estimation if it succeeds in teaching
young people rules of punctuation, how
to spell an enough of paragraphing to
separate ideas on paper. Any editor,
whether of a daily newspaper or leading
magazine, will tell you that out of the
100 manuscripts which he handles, very
few are ready for publication without
careful supervision. The ignorance of
how to Bpell and of good grammar, not
to speak of smooth English, would as
tonish one who had not opened these
same packages which contain the ambi
tion and hope of the aspirant.
The road to literary fame is slow and
tedious and marked by few white stones;
for in this age of sarcasm and liberty of
the press, the iron must pass through
the very soul of the writer if be would
persevere and toil on. In order to com
pose intelligently one must be conver
sant with arts and sciences; have a gen
eral knowledge of literature. iand take
steady and unremitting portions of pure
English; far no matter how bright the
youth be, he must strive far style. The
boy with ready wit, who handles' a clever
pen at school will eventually disappear
from the literary world unless lie reads
regularly and sy sterna' ically. He cannot
afford, even if he may be very clever at
composition writing; to continue to give
without absorbing, for there is an end
even to a generously filled store-house
Composition writing, liKe good gram
mar, is very dependent on home tram
ing, and although the school knay ac
complish much, it cannot create, inde
pendent of individual assistance.
Beading, then, must be considered as
inseparable from composing, j George
Eliot is said to have read a thousand
books relating to "Daniel Deronda,"and
we are well aware all our great, writers
generally have been classical scholars.
There cannot be too much learning
where there is a constant drain cn the
imagination.
"Of mating many boons there is no
end." and the young student who would
climb the ladder of literature must re
member that everything has been said,
and in order to obtain a lasting hearing
he must speak very correotly ijd very
originally. There is always room for a
young writer, if he or she has decided
talent, but at best the road is weary and
tedious.

The Way to Success.
The surest road to success in life is
that of persistent and thorough work.
Speculators, who make money - rapidly
generally lose it with equal rapidity. It
is the patient, steady plodders who gam
and keep fortunes. William H. Webb,
the great ship builder of New York, is a
good example for the young men of the
Unit 3d States. His father had won a
large fortune in ship building, and, like
many loving fathers, wished an easier
life for his favorite boy. But the young
man preferred his father's trade, and de
termined to master it. He went into the
shipyard like a common workman, bo
ginning at the foot of the ladder, and ac
quired great skill in the use of all tools.
Soon even the experienced hands did not
equal him in nicety of work. He was
still a young man whtn his father died,
but he continued the business, and won
in it a high reputation. He was the first
man in the yard in the morning, and was
the last to leave at night, With his own
hand he drew the model of every vessel
built therein; wrote in a book every spec
ification of the building, and marked on
the frame the place for every stick of
timber. No better vessels, either for war
or commerce, were built in the world
than came from Webb's yard, Of the
140 built under his own eye not one
proved a failure. Sir Titus Salt, the
great English manufacturer of alpaca,
used to boast, when he was a millionaire
that he could, at a moment's notice, take
the place of any workman in his vast fac
tory. He was master, not only of the
financial, but of the mechanical part of
the business.
