. THE OLD MAN’S STORY. Adlhrilling Sketch. I never shall forget the commencement of the Tefnggrance reform. was a child at:the”time, of some ten years of age. Our home had every ‘comfort, and my parents idolized ‘me !-_—their child. Wine was often, on_odr table, and both my fither and iy mother frequently gave it to me in the bottom of the glass. 0 One Sunday at church, a startling announccivent was made to our people. I knew nothing of its purport’ but there was much whispering among the men. The pastor said*that on the next evening there wounld be a meeting, and an address on the evils of intemperance | in the use of -alcoholic drinks. He expressed Himself ignorant of the object of the meeting, and. could not say what coursc it would be best to pursue T the matter. w 0

- The subject of tlie;tﬁg'é:tiing came up at our table after thc"{‘éenice, and I questioned:my father about it with all the curious erBctness of a child. The whispers and words which had been dropped. in my hearing, clothed the whole affair with a great mystery to me, and I was ‘all cageruess to learn the strange thing. : i : My father merely said that it was some scheme to unite Church and Hinte, 5 e R

~ The night came, and greups of peo~ ple gathered on the tavern steps, and T heard the jest and laugh,and saw drunken men reeling from the bar-room. I urged my father "to let e go, but ha -at .frst vefused. Finally, thinking it would be an innocent oratification of my curiosity, he put on his hat and we passed across the green to the church. I remecwmber how the people appcared as they came in, seeming to, wonder what kind oft an exhibition was to come off. : , In the corner was the tavern-kecp-er, and around him a number of friends, . For an hour the pgople of the place continued to come in, uiitil thefe was a fair house full. All were curicusly watghing the door, wondering what wotld appear next. The pastor stole in and took a scit behind a pillar un~ der the gallery, as if doubtful of the propriety of being‘ther. atall. 2 Two men_ finally came in and went to the altar and took their seats. All eyes were fixed upon them, and a general stillness pervaded the house. - 'The men were unlike id appearance;, ‘one beirg short, thick-set in build, the other tall and well formed. The younge¥ had -the maunner and dress of 4 clergyman, a-full, round face; and a quiet, good~natured fook, as he léisurely%b’dk'2d around the audience. hag

. But my childish interest was all jo the old wat. His broad, deep chest, and unusual height; locked giant-like as he strode up the aisle. His bair was white, his brow deeply seamed with tarrows, and afourd ;his handsomef mouth, lines of calm and touching sadness. His eye was black and restless, and kindled as the tavern-keeper uttet~ ed a low jest alound. His lips were compressed, and a ‘crimson flush went and came over his pale -cheek.. One arm was off above the elbow, and there was a wide sear over his right eye. The younger finally arose and stated the gbject of ‘the meeting, #nd asked if ‘there was a clergyman present to open }witfxﬁprayex‘. Gk sl e T - Qur pastor kept his seat, and the speaker himself made a short prayer ‘and then made a short address, at the “ conclusion ealling upon:any one pres-| ent to make remarks.t . .. i | The pastor arose uuder the gallery| and attacked the. positions of the speaker, using arguments whieh T have :ﬁem‘& ginée, and cdneluded by demouncing those engaged ' in the new - move‘ment . as, meddlesome : fanatics, who wished to break up the time-honored usages of good society and injare the business of respectable men:: At the' conclusion of \&s%ﬁ, the tavern: keeper ‘and his‘friends got ap & cheer, and the" eurrent of feeling seéied fo ;ﬂw‘@“mmﬁmimi Ltheir While the pastor wa'spaaking, the old man had Sxed!His durk eye wpon : % SIS JrUy 4&4

There | wag ' depth ih that veiceym ' thrilling | pathos snd §weetness, which. riveted every heartin the house hefore the first period had been rounded. My father’s. attention had beeome fixed .on ' the speaker’ with an ‘interest which 1 had never before seen him exhibit. I ecan hitt briefly réemember the substance of what the old man suid,thongh the scene is as. vivid before me.as any that I ever 'witnessed. e ! 31

“My friends!~l am a stranger in your village, and 1 trugifl may call you friends—a new :star has arisen, and there is hope in the dark night which hangs like a pz?il ~of “gloom “over our country.” With ‘a_thrilling “depth ‘of voice, thie: speaker continued:: “Oh Grod, thou who lookest with compassien upon the most erting of earth’s children, I thank thee that a brazen sérpent has been lifted, upon whieh the drunkard can look and be healed; thafp bedcon has burst out mpon the. darkuess that surrounds him, which shall guide back to honor and heayen, the bruised and weary wanderer.” .- ® oy - Itis strange what power the*z is in some voices. ! The' speaker was slow and measured, but a tear trembled in gtery tone,and before I knew why, a tear dropped cn miy hand, followed by others like rain drops. The old man brushed one from hig own' _eyes, and, EOT TN 117 st Me dnd Chrigtians!’ You have just | heard that I any a vagrant and a fanat~ | ic. lam not. -As (fod knows my own heart, I caime ‘here to do good.
