We were glad to hear that the bulk

We were glad to hear that the bulk Of
victims were not our own townsmen and
yet there are too many of such who lose
their money at cards, and throw melatit
choly pail over the happiness of an entire
family. Night after night the poor wife
sits alone, waiting the return of her truant
husband. Each knock at the door-each
jar or jingle of the bell-alarms her, until
she becomes nervous from solitude and
watchfulness. The chirping Of the cricket
on the hearth, or the moaning of the wind
through the easement, serves only to make
night hideous. The midnight bell tolls,
and still he comes not. The hour OF two
strikes--sometime it is three in the morn
ing-ere his step is heard and then he
enters, pale, haggard tormented with pas
sion and despair, wild with disappointment,
without kind word, soft look, or an en-
dearing caress for her whose love he should
prize above all earthly jewels. For every
pang thus wantonly inflicted on tender
wife and mother, a whole life of penance
can scarcely atone.-Sunday Times.

REASONS WHY WOMEN ARE ANGELS.

Men call Women Angels, but all do not Know
The very best reasons why women are so
IT'S not on account of the form or The lace,
Tho glowing with beauty and fashioned
The sheen OF the ringlets, or wi,chcrafts that
lie
Ambush'd in the lip, or the cheek, or the eye;
The form may be faultless--ihe face may be
fair,
And yet not speck of the Angel be there.
Some women are angels, know very well
List, Maiden the why and the wherefore
J'll tell:
She has bright gem in the casket confined,
A gentle, pure, sober, intelligent mind /;
A treasure nor beauty nor wealth can mpari,
A tender, contiding, and womanly heart;
Tho outward attractions the woman may
spare;
With the gem in the casket the Angcl Is
there.
She stands al the altar hel lover 10 plight,
Her heart is as pure as her raiment is white.
'G promise TO cherish thee love thee--obey.'
Is she not an angelo Ask HIM, he shall say;
She bends o'er the bed where her baby doth
sleep,
The watch and the ward OF an angel to Keep
Her lap is his altar, he prays on her knee
Which is most like an angel, the baby or she!
She waits by the sad couch of sickness and
PAIN,
Prays, watches and weeps, but doth never
complain
If weary and care-worn, harassed or oppres-
sed,
He finds in her bosom a sabbath oi rest;
Deserted by fortune-deserted by friends,
Her love and fidelity make him amends;
She is more than an angel, that wife, ! aver,
No angel could nurse or console him like her.
Know then, Angel-Woman, thy mission be-
low,
Not to fascinate, charm and bewitch no, no,
no
To cherish the good, and the i'll 10 repress,
The helpless TO succor, the wretched to bless.
Thou doth sweeten our joys-thon enrlchest
the store;
Much does earth owe thee, and Heaven much
Thou bright thing of tenderness, beauty and
love,
First an angel on earth, then an angel above.

THE POWER OF MUSIC.
By T. s. ARTHUR.

sDear father,' said Mary Edwards, don't
90 out this evening" and the young girl,
who had scarce numbered II years, laid
her hand upon the arm of her parent.
But Mr.. Edwards shook her off impa-
tiently, muttering as he did So
Cant 90 where please q
'Oh, yes, father,' urged Mary, drawing
up to him again, Notwithstanding her re-
pulse. 'But there is going to be storm
and l wouldn't go OUT
Storm Nonsense That's only your
pretence. But I'll be home soon-long
before the rain, if it comes at all.'
And saying this, MIR. Edwards turned
from his daughter, and left the house. As
soon as she was alone, Mary sat down and
commenced weeping. There had been
sad changes since she was ten years Old
In that time her father had fallen into hab-
its of intemperance, and not only wasted
his substance, but abused his family; and
sadder still, her mother had died broken
heorted, leaving her alone in the world
with drunken father.
The young girls trials, under these pain
ful circumstances were great. Night after
night her father would come home intoxi-
Gated, and it was SO rare thing TO get a
kind word from him, that tone OF atfec-
ton from his lips would move her to tears.
Daily the work of declension went on.-
Drunkenness led to idleness, and gradually
Mr.. Edwards and his child sunk lower and
still lower in the scale of comfort. The
pleasant home where they had lived fol
years waseyiven up, and in small, poorly
furnished rooms they hid themselves from
observation. After this change Mr.. Ed
wards moved along his downward way
more rapidly; earning less and drinking
more.
Mary grew old fast. Under severe trial
and afiiictlons, her mind rapidly matured
and her affections for her father grew
stronger and stronger, as she realized NOR
fully the dreadful nature and ultimate ten
dency of the infatuation by which he wa
led!
-, At last in the anguish of her concern
she ventured upon remonstrance. Thi
btought only angry fepulse, adding bitter
ness to her cup OF sorrow. The appear
: ance TO which we have alluded gave Mar
an excuse for urging her father not TO G
out. How her remonslrance was receive
has been seen. While the poor girl ST
weeping, the distant rolling of thunder il
dicated the approach of the storm to whic
r. she had referred But she cared little f
It now. Her father had gone out. ST
p had only spoken of it with the hope th
he might have been induced to remain vii
i her. Now that he was away, the agit
tion within was too great to have any CO
a. Germ for the turbulent elements without.
On leaving his home, Mr.. Edwards, WI
had not taken any liquor for three or 10
hours and whose appetite was sharpen
for the accustomed stimulous, walk
quickly in the direction Of a drinking-hor
where he usually spent his evenings.
entering he found that there was lit
of commotion in the bar-room. A certain
Us. dividual not over-friendly to landlords, i

THE CLAIMS ON PORTUGAL-THE ATTACK
ON THE GENERAL ARMSTRONG.

The attack on the General Armstrong du-
ing The last war, out of which the present
claims against Portugal have grown, is ac-
quiring new interest from the present rela-
tions between our government and that Of
Portugal. Many different accounts have pub
lished OF this affair The following account,
with which we have been favored, Is from
The Captain of the Gen. Armstrong, in let
ter 10 his wife. 1t is very interesting.
ST. MARY's, November, 1914.
DEAR-, We arrived in Fayal after II
days passage, and had not anchored more
than five hours, when the Carnation, kings
brig Of twenty guns anchored close to US, and
about 8 o'clock attacked us with four boats
and seventy men, which we easily beat off,
killing and wounding upwards of thirty men
we had one killed. We then warped in
shore, under the guns of the fort, they being
joined by the Plantagenet seventy-tour, and
Rota Frigate of thirty-six guns. AT 2 O'Clock
on the 26lh of October in the morning, they
came and attacked us under the guns of neu-
tral fort, which did not assist us in the least
except TO rob us) with fourteen armed laun-
ches and boats, and upwards of 500 men
armed. They divided into divisions, when a
well directed fire from our guns sunk several
Of their boats, killed and wounded many of
their men they succeeded in getting under
the bows, but such was bravery of the crew,
not one got foolhold, but paid his life the for
felt for his presumption. We could plainly
hear them cry no Quarter for the Yankee
rascals. Our men, you may be sure, gave
them none. The pivot gun, loaded every
time with 100 pounds of ball, swept them
off like hail. This fight continued with
great bravery about fcrty-iive minutes, when
they went of, having lost five boats and about
200 men most Of whom were killed, among
the latter the lst and Sd liehenanls Of the
frigate. The brig coming in the morning
we gave her dozen broadsides, when, find
ing further defence useless, we deserted
scutiled, and set fire to our vessel, soone
than let the English have her. They board
ed her with great caution, but finding her o
no use TO them, lett her to burn. This wa
the end of the General Armstrong. In on,
boat took possession Of, they had at frs
forty men-when took her there wer,
seventeen on board, eleven dead, four wound
ed, ond two uninjured. By this you ma,
Judge what havoc we made among them
# is without doubt the bloodiest battle tha
has been fought this war-at any rate it is a
honor TO the nation, for they neither took u
nor our vessel. We were maintained by tn
American Consul, who go, Portuguese bri
chartered 10 bring us to Amelia Island, wher
we landed yesterday, thank God.

SIR ROBERT PEEL.

Sir Robert Peel, whose death occupies
large space in the English papers; was rare
man, in a great age. Great in mind and
warm in heart, he had genius TO sparkiei
power to command, and benevolence TO dis

life, reliable. Purity and greatness made q

men, the king made by the majesty of gen
ius, the power Of learning,
