"NOT A DRQP MORE, DANIEL.” : Daniel Akin had become a confirmed drunkard. $o fully’ had he come under the dominion of thebottle, that he was perfectly miserable when he could not obtain the means of gratifying his thirst. He had neglected his tamily until his wife’s father had taken her and the children to the paternal roof. He had spent all his substance in drink and was kept from the poor-house only '‘by performing menial services for his. food and by thé kindness of Thomas Edgerton, a member of the Society of Frieuds, who had known him from his youth, and who bad a strong: hope that, in the course of time, he :would seée his folly and turn again into the right path. I G Hoskins, the leading liquor seller of the place, had let him have drink so lonig -as his money lasted, but would trust him no longer. Ie was lounging about the saloon one bright moonlight evening, pleading with the keeper to trust him for a drink. His reply 'was sharp and: unfeeling: “Not a drop more, Daniel!” He remained a while longer and then left. As the-cool air of the evening fell upon hiim he; all at once, gave -utterance to his feelings in the following strain: ; : “Not .3 drop more, Daniel. Am J drunk or am I sober? I am sober; Not a drop more, Daniel!” Did Hoskins think a drop would hurt me? No: but my money was gone. . He hus got all; got everything 1 had—even the Bible my mother gave me. Ile has got the boots which my wite, with her own earnings, bought for Jennie. “Not a drop more,. Daniel,” Daniel, ‘what say you to that? T say so, too. 1 once had good clothes, but now I have nothing but rags. “Not a drop more, Daniel,” till I have clothes as good-as when Mary and I were married. I once had a good wateh, but that too, is gone! “Not a drop more, Daniel,” till I havé a horse and buggy as good as I once had. I once had cows that furnished my family with butter and cheese, ‘but Hoskins has got them. “Not a drop more, Daniel,” tilt those cows, or others as good, are mine again. I once had this wallet full of sbills; but now not & cent have I got “Not adrop mofe,”Daniel,” till this wallet is well filled again.

By this time he had reached the place where he formerly resided, and leaning up ‘against the fence, -he mused a long time in silence. ~He viewed the desolate place by the light of the moon, and his eyes ranged over the house and farm; once bhis own. He then said to himselt: “Once I owned this house and farm. Here I was born. Here my father and mother died. I was the pride of their hearts; but I brought down their gray hairs with sorrow to the grave! Here I began my married life, and all that heart could wish was mine. Here Mary and I took comfort tegether till Hoskins eame and opened his rumshop, and now he calls it his. In that south room my children were born, and there my Jennie died. O, how sorrowful she looked when she saw me take her boots-and start for the store to. pawn them for rum, whilé she lay sick upon the'bed. And then, how she.begged me never to strike her mother again! I can see her now —her pale face, her wasted form, but she can not come todne again. And 0, my wife, how shamefully I abused her! 1t was not your Daniel that did ‘it. No, it was Hosking’ accursed rum! No wonder you was taken away from me by those who loved you and would not see you abused.— They* won't have me in the house; they won’t let me live with you. Not ~a drop more, Daniel, till' this house-is mine again.’ Not a drop more, Danie], till these broad acres are again in my possession and my wife and children that area living are in yonder rooms and we are a happy . family once more. Nota drop more, Daniel. Help me, my God, till all these things are accomplished! I thank you Hoskins, for these words. I shall not forget them.” ‘ Sa ~ He'had: become s 0 much occupied with his thoughts and spoken in a tone so loud, that he had not noticed the wagon which had Ireached the toad, in which was seated the kindhearted Quaker before mentioned.— He stopped. his horse and heard disunctly the language Daniel used. As he closed his soliloquy, he turned and saw Thomas Edgerton, who said: ° “Daniel, does thee mean to keep thy vow ?” i . - “Yes, friend Edgerton, I do.” - - * “Thee has promised a great many times thee’d drink no more. What makes thee think thee will keep thy vow this time ?” Vit i

“I know, friend Edgerton, I have often vowed I would drink no more. But now 1 feel different from.what 1 ever felt before; my heart is almost broken and 1 feel my weakness; and I velieve God will help me this time.” “God grant that it may be so, Daniel, get in and take thee a seat. Thee must be hungry; go home with me.” Ou the way the Quaker diew out of him all that bas been written, and he ad vised bitn to go toCalifornia. He told him to go to New York und work his way round the Cape. He decided to do 80, The Quaker kindly promiler} to furnish him with suitable clothing, e - ' “pnee would like to see thy wife and children before thee goes?” : ] should—butsthey have become 8o estranged from me; if I went, perhaps they would not believe me. I think it would be better they should pot know where lam. I want to.surprise them, and hope to do sv by coming back a sober mun, and with mon-

ey enough to make them comfortable. I prefer that youand your wife should be the only persons in the place who shall know ‘where I am or what I am doing.” : : : Thus, while riding toward the quiet farm-house of the Quaker, the whole thing was arranged. When they reached othe farm the horse was put into ftlie barn, and they entered the house. As they seated themselves betore the fire, the Quaker said to his wife: : e - «“Amy, thee ean put on another plate, Daniel will stay with us a few dayiz. and then lie is going to California?” B : Lo

_The. good Quaker felt confident Dan}iel would keep his Word;this time. At the end of a few days everything was in readiness. The old horse was harnessed and, before daylight, Daniel Akin was on his way to the railway station. He had not been in the-vil-lage since the night when the words, “Not a drop more, Daniel,” were uttered. He was missed from his customdry haunts; but it was suppused he had gone on a spree, so nothing was thought of his dbsence. No iuquiries were made, for all were glad that he was missing and cared not for s return. | o He had been gone semewhat more than a year, when the Quaker was in the store of Hoskins aud wished’t? hire a pasture for the coming season. ‘I have one I will let you have free if you will put jup the tences on the place,” said: Hoskins. = = i 5 “Where is it ?” asked the Quaker. “It’s on the Akin’s farm,” was the reply. i “If thee will let it at that rate, thee must have let it get out of repair.” “It is, indeed. I can not leave the store to look after it. The house is poor, and the family thatlived in it last were too shiftless to buy wood,so they burnt up all the fences; in tact, I would rather sell it than rent it.” “What ‘will the take for it?’ inquired the Quaker. - | “It cost me $1,600.” . i i “Yes;: but thee paid in goods, and charged thine’own price for them.”

“T 6 be sure I did. | Akin could not get trusted anywhere else, and I felt that I was running a great risk in letting him Hhave the ‘goods, so I charged.accordingly; just as anybody else would have done under the ciicumstances.” : 5 e “But ' thee has not told me what thee will take for the place. I will give thee $BOO for it, 1f thatis any Object tothee - - e Hoskins thought long: enpugh over the. matter to conclude that the®interest of $BOO was far better for him ‘lshz}n a farm:for the useé of which he realized scarcely anything, and at last said: “ You can have it.” S

“Very well, Hosking; thee can make out the deeds to-morrow, and thee shall- have thy money. By-the-by, does thee know what has become of Daniel Akin?” \ s "“No; he has-not been in the village for-more than-a year; at any rate, I have not seen him.” We may here tell the reader something that Hoskins did -not know. T'he Quaker had that day received a letter from Daniel Akin, saying that he was at the mines hard at work and sticking to his motio,, “Not a drop more, Datiiel;” that he had laid up & tew hundred dollars, and desired hin to inquire what 'the pliace he once owned could be bought for. - Mr. Edgerion had taken the method above mentioned to find out the views of Hoskins respecting the place, so contident was he that Daniel AkKkin would eome home a sober man, with money in his pocket, that he had ventured to purchase the place, to keep for him till his return. 20

~ Ile wrote to Akin, informing him what he had done; and about ‘three mowrths atter he received a letter from him stating that he had sent by express $5OO in gold to a banker in New York, with‘orders to sell it and remit thie proceeds to h m, to go toward the money for the tarm, : - Gold at that time-commanded a high premium, and the $5OO became $BOO berore it reached the hands of triend fdgerton. AKin requested him to draw up a deed giving the whdile property to his wife Mary, to have'it duly recorded and lett, with the relister of deeds. - :

In his letter he said: “If perchance,l should ever break my.fesolution,l shall have secured a home tor my wife aud children., I prefer, however, that they should lot know anything of this for the present. If I live to come home, I will give Mary the deed with my own hands; if not, you can do it. No'w that the tarm is bought, you had better stock it, for I still stick to my motto, “Not a drop more, Daniel.”” * Another year passed away. By this time friend Edgerton had stocked the farw with young cattle and sheep, the fences were put in repair, and everything but the house wore a tidy appearance. Anothér remittance came, which paid for all the stock and left an overplus with whiceh to repair the house. * Carpenters were . busy, and villagers' who happened to pass that way found that extensive repairs were going on; still no vne presumed to question the Quaker with respect to his plans. §hese repairs completed, furniture. found its- way into the house. A yoke of oxen ‘were seen on the farm. The villagers were astonished to see the Quaker driving an elegant horse and riding in a new buggy. He received this short note dne day: - ~ *I have arrived all safe and sound. Please go and get Mary and the childrent" o - : ; ' ’ . Friend Edgerton rode over to the next town aud called on Mary’s father, and invited her and the children to go home with him and make a visit. The invitation was accepted and they returned with the Quaker to his house. On the afternoon. of the next day, he said: . ) - “Mary, I want tu go to the railway station. Thee and the children can stay with! Amy.” T ‘ He went down to the station and fetched Daniel and left him at h s own house, where he had previously conveyed-some ‘provision, and where he was to pass the night. It was dark when friend Edgerton reached Righathe = = o 0

Next morning friend Edgerton said to Mary: o M “Mary, I suppose thee has heard I have bought thy old place? I have got, it fitted up, and thee and the children shall ride over after breakfast and see it. . I think thee wiil like i’ e : : They rode over, and Mary was surprised to see the changes which had taken plice. They looked over the lower rooms first; and ‘over the mantlepiece in the sitting room: was a frame, and under the glass, in large gould letters, were these words: “NOT A DROP MORE, DANIEL.” Mary, on reading these words, said: *O, friend Edgerton; if Daniel could have said these words and stuck to them, this beautiful place might have still been his.” ¢ = : “I'hen thee don’t know where Daniel is?” asked the Quaker. . “No, I have not heard anything of him for more than three years,”

“Thee would like to see him, would thee not?” T “Q, yes, indeed I should.” ‘ ‘“Let.us walk up stairs,” - . © - As they went up the front stairs Daniel slipped down the back ones and, took his stand in the front room. When they returned, Mrs. Akin noticed a stalwart {man standing in the room with his back to the door, and started baek for an instant. The Quaker said: | g . 4TIt is a friend, Mary.” = Daniel turned arounﬁd; but in the man with the heavy beard and mustache Mary did not recognize her husband. Daniel advanced fto the step where Mary was standing and in a voice ‘tremulous ‘'with emotion, exclaimed : z il .

*Don’t you know me, Mary?” . - We leave the readers-to imagine what the meeting was. Friend Edgerton said hie must go and see Amy, and addressing himself to Mary, said: “Mary, this house and farm are thine,” Daniel has got the papers and will give them to thee.. Thee can stay as long as.thee likes; thee. will live happily once more, for that—;,po_inﬁixffg to the frame over the man-tle-piece—¢Nof a drop more, Daniel, is his motto now, and will be as long as:helives - e Daniel and his wife fell on their knees before the Lord. Their prayers wer% mingled with many tears; but in their future lives those prayers were found to be answeéred.

. 'The Woreester yl_)fsaster. : The disaster-at Worcester was of a sort which, until very recently, has been of very rare oceurrence in this country. The water-works dam across the Lynde Brook, a stone:and piling structure built thirtegn years since abd five years ago rebuilt and raised--19 feet, and backing 'up an immense volume of watery gave way before the pressure of the late tloods. The vast torrent it held back rushed down a narrow valley, sweeping: all betore. it, and in g streteh of 9 miles tearing awady four other dams, each of which added to ‘the volume of destroying waters. Mills, factories, dwellings, and outhouses, stone, brick, and traue structures, went down before the resistless lood like card-heaps or were dashed ‘away like mere straws. The destruction of property was great, but fortunately warning was given in time ‘and but three lives were lost. Within the last two years similar dis< asters have twice occurred not tar remote from the scene of the present catastrophe, and- these were attended with loss of life and much suffering.: Throughout:New England, where the water-power has been carefully utilized, aud to a lesser extent in many o.her quarters ot the country, the hke calamities are- possible. . Whether there lis peril of their occurrence is. not known, and is precisely what should be mvestigated. There is uo chance-work about disasters such as. these. In the present state of engineering science, they are only possible thirough dishonest, chieap construction or crimdial negligence, . The requisite resistant;power for ‘such structures as Lhat at Worcester can be closely cal‘culated, as can the height to which Lhey can sately be coustructed and the strength of the material uséd. L'he immediate cause of the Worcester disasler has not;yet been made public. But whatever i¢ may: have been, the actual cause will be' found to have been | guilty negligence, more guilty niggardliness, or still more culpable blundering " ignorance. It is a reproach upon us that either of these could fetch upon community such caLatuities as it'lB that they should lead. o slaughter on raifroads and through votler explosions as they do. Some legal restraints have been imposed to guard against these latter, but against such as that at Worcester the public seews to have been left wholly unprotected. lis seasor for the endctJent of statutes that will provide againstsuch peril by rigorous inspec-. on of dams across water-courses, aud requiring the strengthening or removal of all rotten or unsate structures of such sort. That is ag last the only moral of practical value to draw from the Worcester disaster, and, if not promptly acted upon; it will be lost.— Chicago I'ribune. - .

No: Man KEver Borrowed Himselr . out of Debt. : This is an old but wise saying. It is equally true with regard to governments as well as individuals, and antil the suggestion is practiced upon in both cases, the pedgple may not expect relief. If you. wish for relief, you must work for it—economize for it. = You' must make more and spend less than you did while running in debt. You must wear homespun inste:d of broadcloth, drink water instead of champaign, and rise at four. instead of seven. Industry, frugality, economy —these are-the handmaids of wealth, and the sureisource of relief. A dollar earned is better than ten borrowed, and a dollarsaved is better than forty times its amnount in uséless gewgaws. Tiv this scheme, and see if it is not worth a thousand banks and valuation laws. . ey " The corrupting influences fof the day, the knavery and thievey so manitest in high places, in every department of the -government, have their origin in individual extravagance, and as one of the first and vital steps towards genuine retorm and Dbetter times, the people must begin themselves in the direction of strict ‘economy, and set a more worthy example to their public servants. :

THE Bremer Handelsblatt has lately given to the world a most interesting piece of iuforimation. Who is the richest man in Germany? Most persons would say ?‘1 reply—Rothsehiiid or sume other great banker, or some long-descended German baron. In both cases the searcher for truth would be wrong. The richest man in Prussia is neither banker or noble, but plain Krupp, the maker of cannons. Krupp, the gunmaker, pays more income tix than any man in Prussia. He pays nearly 110,000 marks, which represents a yearly scale of profit exceeding 5,000,000 marks, or about $l,250,000, It is true that it is whisper¢d in non-official circles that Krupp, the gunsmith, has -a partner who shures his gains and likewise contributes his quota toward the payment of income tax. This mysterious individual is known unto men as the German government impersonated by Prince Bismaick and the Emperor William. The rich man may, theretore, not be as wealthy as he appears to be, seeing that his gains are divided, as well as his outguings, with sleeping partners, whose profits are drawn from the heavy taxation borne by the.

“SENATOR”’ SPENCER.. = (' . Among the things going on ‘at tie Capital, and claiming public attention, are the proceedings had by the Committee investigating Spencer, the notorious c_zn'f)et:-bng Senator ii)iéxjepfe-. seiuting Alabama. The investigation, ordered by his fo;w.n reso‘lutioxi,‘_lms:* been (conducted under the shameful ruling of Morton, the Chairman, with sole reference to the acquittal of Spen-. cer, and regardless of common _ decency;. declaring Spencer entitled to his seat, although he committed num‘erous frauds to obtain it, dragging one poor fellow almost to death to break a quorwm’ in the State Legislature.

. PENSION FRAUDS. $400,000 STOLEN BY THE LATE COMMISSIONER. : Only the First Revelation of a Sys- /| ‘tematie Course of Robbery. ~ WASHINGTON, March 25th.—The House committee on Invalid Pensions' brought to light. to-day a swindling operation in the Pension Office, which for magnitude exceeds anything that the investiguting committees of the present Congress have yet developed. Mr. Jenks, of Pennsylvania, Chairman of the committee, and Mr. Rice, of Ohio, have been particularly energetic: in unearthing -these frauds, and it is beHeved ‘that the present exposure is only-the first revelation of a:systematicicourse of robbery which has existed in-the Pension Office for years. ‘Henry Von - Aernam, of New York, was ‘Commissioner of Pensions from 1869 -until sometime in 1871. - During his administration’ of the office C. W. Seaton,’ of; Albany, was Chief <Clerk, and . Mr. Seaton’s :testimony to-day substarntiated the circumstantial evidence that has been in possession of the committee fqr»s;)ge time. When Von Aernam was Cofimissioner 2,300 dormant ‘bounty - land-warrants for 169. acres of land each had accumulated in the office, being the warrants of persnns who' were dead or had forfeited them otherwise. Ther regulations of the office prevent any one employed therein frem-.giving ‘any information as to-theé number of persons. in'whose names these dormant. warrants exist. At this time there were three lawyers, named Cheney, of Orange, Mass.; Van, Meter, of Lvon, N.Y:; and Hill, of Dunriek, N. Y.; engaged in the prosecution’ of claims against the Government in Washington. “Von Aernam was . an'intimate - friend of this legal trio, and doéumentary evidence in thé possession of the committee shows that he gave the lawyers the information on whieh the swindle. was perpetrated. An order was made on the Commissioner by Van Meter, as administrator for the: 2,300 dormant warrants, and - without -the least investigation' they.were. ‘handed ower ‘FPhe place for the name of the administrator or guardian on the warrants wias blank,.and ithe trio ‘made thew out, ‘putting in either Cheney, Van Meter, or Hill’s names as administrator; or guardian for.the "persons: to whom- the- warrant- belonged. The' warrants - were then put upon the market in Boston, New York and oth ' er-places.” Their market value at that time, was from $l7O to SB2OO apiece, making the entire bateh worth about $400,000. The evidence| as to what portion of this sum Von Aernam received js not conclusive, but it eould not have been less than $lOO,OOO, Seaton testitied that he investigated 100 of these: warrants after they were: is-sued-and found theém all; fraudulent, proving, coaclusively, that iu no instance did the proceeds of the sale o 1 warrants go to ‘the persons to whotn they:rightfully belonged. * The -entir 2,300 spurigus ' warrants were; issued withinione year. - - ; e

. Financial Hambuggery. L ~ (From the Lagrange Standard of last week,) . Mr. Trevelick, of Detroit, and C. B Darrow, of this county; have set oul for--a canvass of this Congressiona! Distriet. Mr. Trevelick is tomake speechés on: finance, and in favor or greéenbacks, and Mr. Darrow is to sol ‘licit. subseribers for the Indianapolis Sun, and organize Greenback 'Clubs. They.held a-meeting, the first one w¢ believe in the eanvass, at the Court, House, Monday afternoon. Mr. Trevelick makes a very able presentation of the subject, mingling facts, sophistry, -and. sound.reasoning, in‘a bewildering manner, The principal cause of all our finanecial embarrassments, he traced to a too high rate of interest. demanded. for money.. The remedy: proposed was-the issue of greenbacks, to be made a legal tender not only for all débts, public and private as now, but also for the payment of duties on. imports,--and the withdrawal of all, ‘National bank” notes.’ The amount that should: be “put in eirculation he played shy upon. .. He was not clear on the:point whether he would have .the. new greenback continued as a “promise to pay,”’ or as paper stamped, “thig is a dollar.”. Thereis a-material difference between the two, and he should be definite which it is he would have. If it is to be a promise to pay a dollar, his tHeory should provide for the payment: of the dollar. = If it is to be- only stamped paper, no. provision for' payment is necessary, and an entirely different' course would be Indi_cated. ~ Acgording to his .assertions, ‘we are a nation of fools, and his finan‘cial plan, is the elephant upon which the world rests. - But an enquiry as to what ~ his elephant rests upon, would ‘raise some questions'more perplexing than any embraced in our present.fi. “nancial system. - The substance of the -plan we think he intended, is to issue a ‘promise to pay; and ‘then pay thai ‘promise with another promise bearing .interest. and then. pay that principal -and interest, with the promise to pay. i,ar‘;r? thus keep up the careless round’ Any personean try this money system tor himself, by attempting to do businessin this way. - If they find they can buy farms, horses, and merchandise, with individdal promises of this kind, it would not be improper to urge the Government to adopt the same plap. But until then it would be well “to guard against such visionary theo ries, so revolutionary of all past expe--rience and wisdom. 1 -~ i
