Any body would do it. You're as dacent a

With a smile that she meant should be a
brave one, but with eyes streaming with tears,
she babe her beloved brother farewell. He
embraced her with vehement tenderness,
and, with a deep sigh, returned to his silent
labor. But the weight was taken of his
heart, and his step was lighter fJr

And Lore looked in upon his solitude"

lain' ever watching the gloomy walls of Sing
sing. When her brothers. term expired, she
was at the prison door 10 welcome him, and
lead him forth into the blessed sunshine and
free air. The chaplain received them into
his house. cheered and strengthened their
hearts by kind words and iudicious counsel.
and sent them 10 the office of the Prison AS.
ISOLATION, No. 10, Pine street, New York
AS James brought certificates of rood con.
duct while in prison, The Association lent him
tools, TO be paid for if he should ever be able
10 do so, and recommended him 10 a worth 9
mechanic. At this place he would have re-
manned, had not his employer needed a Jour
neyman thoroughly versed in his trade. II
is The policy at Sing Sing not to allow the
prisoners to learn all branches of any bust
ness, lest they should come into compe-
tltion with mechanics out of the prison.
W hat James had been accustomed to do, he
did with great industry and expertness but
he could not do all his employer required,
and was therefore kindly and honorably dis.
missed.
Had he been dishonest, he might have gone
of with the tools but he went to the office
of the association, TO ask whether they were
willing he should keep them ill he could OBJ
tain work elsewhere, and earn enough to pay
for them. They consented very cordially,
and told him to remember them as friends in
need, so long as he behaved well. His sis
ter was with him, like his shadow, and their
earnest expressions Of gratitude were truly
affecting.
Her good-natured honest countenarce and
ind habits, attracted the attention of a
thriving young farmer, who succeeded in OBJ
tanning the treasure of her warm and generous
heart. She who made so good a sister, can
sc freely fail to be an excellent wife. James
continues to do well, and loves her with SUI
perabounding love. The blessing of our Fa-
ther be with them! They are Two OF the
klndest hearts, and most transparent souls,
among that reverent, loving, confding, and
impulsIve people, who, in their virtues and
their defects. deserve to be called the little
children Of the nations.

turned a deaf ear TO the sad condition OF that
drunkard. 1t had been the false idea, that
the moderate drinker, and he only, could be
saved and he who had INDUCED to excess,
was considered as being beyond the pale OF
all human reclaim. But these men stood
there that evening, putting TO flight all such
old notions, which the enlightenment OF the
age had condemned as unchristian and unbe-
coming the true spirit that should excite men
TO action in the holy cause of Reform. There
they stood, making glad the heart Of the mo-
ralist and philanthropist.
What would have been the fate of these
twenty reformed men, had they continued in
their wild career Of dissipation, can easily
be imagined.
The following beautiful and touching sto-
~ was related by DR.. Schnebly Of Mary
land
"a drunkard who had run through his pro-
perry, returned one night to his unfortunate
home. He entered its empty hall-anguish
was g%nawing at his hearl-strings, and Ian
guage is inadequate to express his agony as
he entered his wife's apartment, and there
beheld the victims Of his appetite-his love
~ wife and darling child. Morose and sui
len. he seated himself without a word-he
could not speak, he could not look upon them.
The mother said TO the little angel by her
side. Come, my child, it is time TO 90 TO
bed" and that little babe, as was her wont,
knelt by her mothers lap, and gazed visit
fully into the face Of her suffering parent,
like a piece Of chiselled statuary, slowly re-
peated her nightly prison and when she had
finished. the child (but four years of age)
said to her mother, g Dear Ma, may ] not Of
fer up one more prayer?" Yes, yes, my
sweet pet, pray; " and she lifted ZIP her tiny
hands, closed her eyes and prayed--"O,
God, spare, oh spare my dear papa !" That
prayer was waited with electric rapidly to
the throne Of God. 1t was heard on high
twas heard on earth. The responsive
"Amen " burst from that fathers lips, and
his heart of stone became a heart of flesh
Wife and child were both clasped to his boz
SON., and in penitence he said, my child,
you have saved your father from the grave Of
a dlunkard. III sign The pledge!"

A Touching Scene.
A scene Of intense interest is thus de
scrihed in the New York Tribune

A scene Of intense interest is thus de-
scribed in the New York Tribune:
A crowded audience WAS assembled at
National Hall, on last Sunday evening, at
tracted there to hear the evidence Of trenfu
reformed inebriatcs, given in favor Of sbsti-
nence from intoxicating drink. The address,
es were only five minutes each in length /;
but there was a great deal said by each speak
er in those five minutes. 1t was, indeed, a
novel sight to behold so many of the once
d~espised and unfortunate class of individuals
coming forward on the platform, one imine-
diately succeeding the other, pleading in elo-
quent tones the cause of their suffering fell
low-creatures-those who were still bound
by the chains of a degrading appetite-chains
which were riveted around the brightest in
c~entives Of their being-boldly proclaiming
the evils Of the monster-curse, lntemperance !;
pointing to themselves as living proofs of
what they asserted, and exhibiting in their
present condition the happiness of a life Of
sobriety. As each one OF those redeemed
men made his appearance and spoke of the
misery and awful suiIerings-the inevitable
attendants Of a career Of intemperance. and.
as each speaker left the stand, it seemed that
it was like "Pelion on Ossa piled" in favor
