I felt like throwing the book from me. But

once more I turned the leaves, and my eyes

rested on these words: 'Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink, that pntteth the bottle to him. mid maketh him

drunken. 'I closed the book suddenly, and threw it

down. Then for half an hour I paced the; room backwards and forwards in a state of; mind such as I never before experienced, ij

THE INTEMPERATE. Inebriate ! pause in thy career, Heed not that maddening bowl; Its contents have caused bitter grief To many a sorowing soul. Ease and contentment was thy lot, A happy home was thine;

These heavenly gifts thou cast aside, And sought the tempter wine. And. tell me where's the lovely bride Who shared thy joys and woes. Alas ! the green earth covers her, The grave's her dwelling now. Deceived by him she prized too well, Her spirit took its flight, And in the bosom of her God She dwells an angel bright. These 'vords I heard addressed to one, Whose form in early prime, Seemed high resolve's fit dwelling place, A great and noble mind. Intemperance, the tyrant strong, Enchained him with his power, Until his mind a reck became, And reason fled her bower. Oh '. the sad close of life to him, . , , ,

'I have been a tavern-keeper.' At this announcement there was a movement through the whole room and an expression of increased interest. 'Yes, Mr. President,' he went on, 'I have been a tavern keeper, and many a glass have I sold to you, 'and to you, and the Secretary

ahead with the hope of doing some good to my

fellow men. But there is one incident that I will relate. For the last five years, a hard working mechanic, with a wife and several small children came regularly almost every night to my tavern, and

spent the evening in the bar-room. He came

to drink of course, and many and many a dol lar of his hard earnings went into my till.

not going to rest until every man that I have helped to ruin, is restored to himself, his fami

ly and society. Water Bucket.

At last he became a perfect sot,working scarce-, ly one fourth of his time, and spending all he earned in liquor. His poor wife had to take in washing to support herself and children, while he spent his time and what little he could make ot my bar. But his appetite for liquor was so strong, that his weeks earniugs were usually all gone by Tuesday or Wednesday, and then I had to. chalk up a score against him to be paid off when Saturday night came. This 6core gradually increased, until it amoun

ted to three or four dollars, over his regular

Saturday night's pay, when I refused to sell

him any more liquor until it was finished. On the day I had thus refused him, he came in with a neat mourning breast pin, enclosing some hair no donbt I thought of a deceased relative. This he offered in payment of what he owed. I accepted it, for the pin I saw at once was worth double the amount of my bill. I did not think, or indeed care about the question, whether he was the owner or not, I wanted my own, and in my selfish eagerness to get my own, I hesitated not to take a little more than my own.'

'I laid the breast-pin away, and all things

went on smoothly for a while. But he gradually got behind hand again, and again I cut off his supply of liquor. This time he brought me a pair of brass andirons, and a pair of brass

candlesticks, and I took them and wiped off

the score against him. At last he brought a large family Bible, and I took 'that too thinking no doubt I could sell it for something. 'On Sunday afterwards, having nothing to do, for I used to shut my bat on Sundays, thinking that it was not respectable to sell li

quor on that day 1 opened this poor drunkard's family Bible, scarcely thinking of what I was doing. The first place that I turned to was the family record. There it was'stated that upon a certain day he had been married to Emily . I had known Emily , when I was a young man, very well, and had

once thought seriously of offering myself to

her in marriage, I remembered her happy

young face, and seemed suddenly to hear a tone

of her merry laughter.

Poor creature!' I sighed involuntarily as a

thought of.her present condition crossed ray mind; and then with no very pleasant feelings I turned over another leaf. There was the re cord of the birth of four children; the last had been made recently, and was in the mother's hand. I never had such strange feelings as now come over me. I felt that I had no business w ith the book. But I tried to stifle my feelings, and turned over several leaves quickly. As I suffered my eyes to rest upon an open page, these words arrested my attention: Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging; whoso is deceived thereby is not wise.' This was just the subject that under the feelings I then had, I wished to avoid, and so I referred to another place. There I read Who hath woe? Who hath sorrow? Who hath wounds? Who hath babbling? Who hath redness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine. At the last it biteth like a serpent, it tingeth like an adder.'

them authrs of the highest standing.
