MISCELLANEOUS.

AN AFFI.CTINU STORY. It wn? in the year 183-that a gentle man distinguish'! for his talents and intellectual abilities, suddenly resolved to abandon the habit of intemperance, to which he had long been addicted. He was a remarkable and extraordinary man. His talents were of the first order, and hi attainments were of the mostcxtensivecharacler. In person he w as handsome, and possessed of every exterior erace that could please or at

tract ihe eve. His manners weic of

the most pleasing and fascinating kind, and his conversation was of that varied and eloquent nature, that his company was in every condition of society desired. No man was more deeply versed in classical learning; and in the various branches of scholastic philosophy lie was deeply profound. In the lighter -branches of polite literature he had considerable acquirements, and indeed in every branch of intelligent knowledge he was thoroughly read, lie had been

compared to Bolingbroke, who it was

well known by the profoundness of his

philosophy and the elegance. of his manners, could grace imd give a charm to

toe drawing room, as well as teach lessons of wisdom in the Academy or Lyceum. At an early age he had married n beautiful and charming woman, and from the union of two persons so well adapted to each other, it might readily be supposed that the stream of happi ness would continue uninterruptedly to flow; but alas! it was soon discovered that the possession of the highest attainments, and the most exalted genius a (lorded no security against the encroachments of vice, whose course is marked by misery, and whose end is death. For yeais he was a complete victim to this degraded and unhappy vice, and from a considerable loftiness of reputation, had sunk into the ( haiaeter of a common drunkaad. Poverl) had entered his domicile, and he was frequently the subject of the most piessingwant. His wile's jewelry had long disappered at (lie pawnbroker's, and his own extensive and valuable library had met with the same fate. Article after article of furniture had disappeared, and nothing now remained but that which was secured by the law. His wife, who in her person had presented all the cn-bon-point of appearance which marks health, had wasted away to a mers shadow. Her disposition, which had formerly been lively and vivacious, was now sorrowful and mel incholv,and the children exhibited that raggedness cf dress, which distinguishes the offspring of intemperance. A more affecting scence can hardly be imagined than that which occurred on a cold and bleak day in December when the mother was seen piessing an infant to her breast, crouching to a few embers which still remained on (he hearth. Several small children surrounded her, crying with the coid and begging their mother to give them some bread, but alas! she had none to give them. Alongside in one corner, covered with a worn out rag, lav the husband in a beastly sta(e of intoxication, with a jug of the fatal poison at his head a more distressing and heart rending scene, cannot possibly be conceived it was one calculated to draw tears from the most obdurate heart and soften the most adamantine soul. There lay the man whose lofty intellect and splendid talents were well suited to adorn a Senate, or rule a Nation, a victim to the intoxicating draught which has destroyed thousands. What is just described is no fiction; it is truth w ithout the aid of imagination or the colorings of fancy. Twelve months from (he period at which our

story commences, on a cold winter

evening, might be seen, in a beautiful and snug little parlour, sitting on a sofa the same gentleman, dressed in a costume which indicated that he had not fallen entirely a martyr (o that poverty which always results from (he habit to which he had been addicted. His brow was thoughtful and an acute observer might perceive a shade of melancholy pas over his countenance. In the same room, sealed at a center table, was his wife, attired in neat and tasteful dre reading otic cf (hose beautiful annuals of the season. Several beautiful children were playing in the room, and their cheerful looks and comfortable clothing indicated that poverty had no residence there. This little pallor displayed indeed no tokens of wealth, hut evidently showed signs of comfortable enjoyments. Two beautiful vars -i-

dorned the mantlepicce,and underneath wa seen the vivid light of an animating coal (ire, before which, on a rug, lay a favorite dg, who seemed (o participate in the happiness which appeared to pervade the apartment. The wife looked up, and casting a glance at her husband, observed a gloominess of countenance which at once excited her attention.

She closed the book w hich he had just been reading, and going to him, threw her aims around his neck, and tenderly inquiiied if any thing disturbed him. It was some moments before he made her any reply, and then he said, my dear, I must have half a pint of brandy. The. wife became immediately agitated, and in solicitous accents, besought him not to sei d for that poison w hich had formerly been nearly his ruin. She who but a few moments before had been realising the feelings of perfect seem ity, was now convulsed with sorrowful anticipations that a renewal of her husband's former pernicious habits was to lake place. Her bosom heaved withalarm and as the tears gushed fiom her eyes, she implored him whom she had loved and adhered to with a devoted fidelity, through good and evil report, in disgrace and in poverty, that he would not a gain tempt, by a single indulgence, a recurrence lo habits which must destroy their present felicity, and forever annihilate (heir future hopes. The children partook of the sorrow of their mother; they left their innocent amusements, and with tears in their little eyes, begged their papa not to get any more of that s i u 11 which had made them poor and (heir mama cry. But the husband appeared lo be insensible to the affectionate remonstrances of his wife and the artless persuasions of his children. His oldest daughter, who on former occasions had gone on this errand, was now compelled to perform this; the brandy was obtained, and his wife looked with a fearful and painful foreboding upon the decanter which contained the fatal poison. He looked upon the brandy, and approaching the table with a chair, he sat down and took the decanter in his hand: he held it up (o the light, and observed how beautiful its color. He (hen apostrophised thus: 0 how I h ave loved thee, thou enticing and misery-dispensing spirit; thou hast been my bosom companion from morn till night and from night (ill morning. 1 have loved thee with the love surpassing (hat of a woman, and I have grieved as a modier grieves over the dead bodv of her child, when I found (hat the spirit of the bottle had departed ; but 1 have found thee deceptions and ungrateful; thou didst destroy my reputation thou didst rob my pocket. You gave me disease instead of health, and made the heart of my wife pulsate with unhappiness. My children wept at the ruin you entailed, and my house you made desolate and sorrowful. Twelve months have I parted from you, and I now renounce (hee forever, thou agent of destruction! thou demon of despair! thou accursed alluring poison ! With that, he hoisted ihe window, threw the bottle into the street, and declared (he victory was won. His wife rushed into his arm?, joy beaming in her countenance ; she could only utter my husband! who tendeily embraced her, and sealed her forehead with a kiss. The children ran to their father, climbing his knees, and their cheerful prattling told how well they partook of the sympathetic joy. Even NeptiK!o,on the hearth rusr, raised his "head, gave an encouraging look to his master, and wagged his tail with evident delight. Philad. Amer. Sentinel.

'Hlsh a Da by' On the second night after the conflagration, a couple of gentlemen observed a stout Irish woman making up Fearl street, near the corner of Wall, w ith a large bundle under her cloak. When she saw the gentlemen looking at her, she immediately commenced singing: 'lluh a buby still a baby, Hush a baby by.' The gentlemen thinking that Ihe poor baby was quite troublesome olfered al

so ijieir aid to quiet its infant restlessness. 'Oil! bless vonp'lmnnrs. she's

asleep now.' The gentlemen still persisted in having a peep at (he blooming little cherub. She resisted but it was no go. On opening the cloak, they found the dear little creature in the terror of the moment, had actually changed into an armful of the richest silk and satin goods, .lightly burne'd at the ends. The affectionate mother was instantly secured. .V. 1. Herald.
