A SKETCH. E. \. / I

It was the hour of twilight. In luxu-
riously furnished apartment was seated a
fond mother, r,--before her kneeled darling,
and only son, his tiny hands clasped in
prayer. IS he lisped the words "Lead me
not into temptation," the mother gave a
full and heartfelt response, and offered a
silent prayer that this her only child might
be delivered from evil, and early brought
into the folds of Christ a7a ah a "e
Time passed on. The child was now
youth, and more than his childhood pro-
missed had been fulfilled. He was the pride
and joy Of doating parents, his society
sought by large circle Of acquaintances,
and he bid fair to be one of earth's proudest
noblest sons. ..s.g .ssgasag ii, .,.#.1aiu
Fifteen years passed, when we see the
youth man. But what change has ta-
ken place Instead of the youth happy,
beloved, and respected by all, we see mis-
cradle and degraded being disgrace to
his friends The blood she g and hag-
gered countenance, the totterlng step, and
neglected dress, tell but too trulythat he is
is yielding subject to the tyrant Alcohol,
His society is not now, as formerly, cour-
ted by the wealthy and the Learned, but
he is q companion for drunken reveIs and
scenes of dissipation. His conscience is
nearly deadened, but when it does call his
attention to his present state, and memory
reverts to the time when he was man,
respected and influential, be sighs to think
what sad change had come over him
But yielding to temptation, he drinks still
deeper Of the poisonous cup, and tries to
drown his feelingsin dissipation. /, lsdlada

1t was night Of Temperance lecture.
Already had the audience been seated some
time, awaiting with imratience the lectur-
|er, when he entered, att ended by the Pres.
ident and several others He took the desk
with firm and dignified air, amid the cheers
of the assembly. AS he commenced speak
ing, every soul was husheds save that OF
the speakers voice. Not a word nor a
Whisper was heard in that large hail. a-."5
1 In his discourse he eIoquently appealed
10 all present who were in the habit of
drinking alcoholic drinks at all, strongly
warned them Of their danger in SO doing
and to prove the truth of his assertion gave
a graphic descriptions of his childhood,
youth, fall and redemption. He took his
seat amid cheers Of applause, while many
present came forward and signed the pledge.
But who is the speaker to whom we
have been listening 1t is the child, the
youth, the inebriate, bot nom the man.
