"On what grounds D" demanded the
most respectable tavern keeper in the place,
his cheeks suddenly blanching to the palor
of DEATH
The grounds are contained in this
book" said the stranger, producing good
ly looking pocket book, and parading roll
Of notes before the astonished Tyler. care
they not good grounds look at them p
"What's that you say" said Mr.. Gran
Olson, who had entered the room Just as
these words were uttered.
"What is that to you, sir, said the stran-
ger. My business is with the officer, sir,
not with you--you are the persecutor, be-
lieve, in this case. Mr.. Sheriff, am ready
to wipe off all claims against this property.
! tender you, no,c, in the presence Of those
people, a lawful tender. Are you satisfied"
I" Certainly, sir" said the officer"
"And now that this business ID happily
arranged, permit me, ladies and gentlemen,
to say few words to you in relation thereto.
You all know the situation Of my friend,
Mr.. Benson. You all knew him under
other and more favorable circumstances,
and presume you know, too, the means
by which he forfeited his position in So
ciety-lost the confidence Of the virtuous
and the good-brought misery and wretch
edness upon his family, and himself to the
verge of shameful dreadful death
the death of the drunkard. You know,
too, that he now stands a monument of
Gods mercy--for he has escaped the pit
that was dug for him. He Is one Of the
redeemed and ransomed whom the Temper
ance pledge has snatched from ruin, and re-
stored to life, health and usefulness. There
are some among you who have acted q
conspicuous part in his undoing who have,
since he placed his signature to this docu-
ment-the pledge-endeavored to induce
him, in an unguarded moment, to forfeit his
honor, violate his pledge, and sink him
@deeper than ever " in the slough Of in
temperance. What think you, my friends,
Of the man, who, under the mask Of friend
ship, would seek to bring irretrievabls ruin
upon tho head Of an interesting family
who should seek to betray him into the
hands of an enemy, who sought not only
to blast his temporal prospects, but who
would destroy his hopes Of happiness here
after. What think you of this mans He
stands among you. Let him deny it, ifhe
dare" (All eyes were turned in search of
Grandson, but he and Tyler had sneaked
away "From my soul pity him, my
friends,'' continued he. Look no more for
Benson, the intempera.e-but behold Chas.
Benson of former years--the tender father
the kind husband, and the useful citizen.
The Total Abstinence pledge has restored
him to you, and to him it has continued
the ownership of the pleasantest spot in your
town-the White Cottage. The Pledge
has done all this; and, more and better
than all, it has restored to him the glorious
hope, that when his labors here on earth
are ended, he will enjoy, in company with
the hosts of redeemed and ransomed, the
presence of the Great / Am, throughout
the countless ages of eternity.

A SONG OF MIDNIGHT.
Q the midnight time is glorious time
0 sweets the midnight hour,
When thoughts Of the past come throngina
fast,
O'er the mind with wondrous power!
0 the dreams of love, and the dreams of fame
And "ofthat which cannot die"
Like ships Ger the deep, DER the fancy sweep
As we gaze on the midnight sky.
In the days bright light, those thoughts take
flight,
That the nights calm hour may know,
When swift in the heart doth then upstart
Devoton's holiest glow.
The stars in the sky, through the wondering
eye,
Show Gods great power to me;
In the holy night, can best feel His might,
And my soul is glad and free.
The moob, like a queen, steps thsre serene,
And to earth her soft light lends;
Thus soothing love from the Heavens above
Upon my heart descends.
No sound is now heard, no wakeful bird,
Now trilleth tuneful strain,
But silence round doth spread profound.
Like a food upon the plain.
o the midnight time is a glorious time!
For thought, for love, for rest!
Though all be good, for the pensive mood,
This hour is aye the best!
