day morning, a poor woman enteredthe City
Police Office, and enquired of the man who
drives the Alms-house wagon how her hus-
band was getting, who had been sent to
that institution, afew weeks since, while la
boring under the influence of m0nia-opotu.
"Oh," replied the man. ''he died, and was
put in the ground several days ago." The
grief of the poor widow was calculated 70
melt the stoutest heart. She had come, full.
ly expecting to hear good tidings of him, and
in the expectation of again sharing with him
all the joys of domestic life ''Whyd idn't
he send for me-" she asked. The man an
swered that her husband didn't think be
was going to die" 1t appears that the de.
ceased lived happily with his devoted wifi
for years, but at last yielded to the tempta

Thus it is that intemperance enters many /,

forts, removes from them the means Of liyeli
hood, turning out upon the cold charity o
the world an afflicted train of widows anC
helpless orphans.-BaHimOre Sun.
