THE FATE OF A pRUNKARD,

When the dim and misty light of a winters
morning penetrated into the narrow court, and
struggled through the begrimed window of the
wretched room Warden awoke from his heavy
sleep, and found himself alone. He rose and
looked around him; the old flock mattress on the
floor was undisturbed; everything was just as
he remembered TO have seen it last, and there
was no sign of any one, save himself, having
occupied the room during the night He had
inquired Of the other lodgerS and of the neigh
bors but his daughter had not been seen or
heard of. He rambled through the Streets and
Iscrutnized each wretched face, among the
crowds that thronged them, with anxious eyes.
But his search was fruitless and he returned to
the garret, when night came on, desoate and
weary.
For many days he occupied himself in the
same manner, but no traces OF his daughter did
he meet with, and no word Of her reached his
ears. At last he gave up the pursuit as hope
less, and long thought of the probability Of her
leaving him, and endeavorng TO gain her bread
! in quiet elsewhere. She had left him at last to
storve alone. He ground his teeth and cursed
her.
lie begged his bread from door TO door. Ev-
cry half-penny he could wiring from the pity or
credulity of those to whom he addressed himself,
was spent in the old way. A year passed oN CT
his head the roof of jail was the only one
that had sheltered him for many months. He
slept under arches and in brick -felds-any-
where where there was some warmth or shelter,
from the cold and rain But in the last stage Of
poverty, disease and houseess want, he was a
ldrunkard still.
At last, one bitter night, he sunk down on a
doorstep, faint and III. The premature decay
of vice and prohigocy had worn him to the bone
His cheeks We're hollow and livd his eyes
were smken and their sight was dim. His legs
trembled beneath ms weight, and cold shiveS
ran through every limb.
And now the long.forgotten scenes Of mis-
spent life crowded thick and fast upon him.
He thought of the time lao had a home, happy,
cheerful homeland Of those who peopled it,
and flocked about him then, until the Forms Of
his elder children seemed to rise up from the
grave, and stand about him so plain, so clear
and so distinct they were that he could touch
and feel them. Looks that he had long forgot,
ten, were fixed upon him onoe more; voices
long since husheH. IN death, sounded in his eal'
hike re music of village bells. But il was onl.

ANNIBAL MO, THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 16, 1859

There still remained one man undiscovered
for Robinson was set at liberty, the police hay-
ing learned that though he remained with the
gang till a late hour, he had quilted them before
they went to Holford House. The real ofIend-
er, who had been the contriver Of the whole, was
afterwards arrested on information they rcceiv-
ed but as he had no booty, was not Marked
and could not be identified, he was necessarily
discharged for want of proof; the other three
were transported for life. The complete sue
cess Of the police, shows the efficiency Of the
present system. No single officer could have
traced out all the actors in the business; it re-
quired systematic supervision of the criminal
and special instrument for each
special purpose, as well as combined action over
a wide area.

THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.

Some account of these islands will prove ac-
eeptable at time when the question Of annex
alton is before the public. Referring 10 Cory
phGus Boreham's Life on the Ocean Wave,r
we find, PIP. l63-l64, the following accounti---
"The Sandwich Islands lie few miles to the
north of Boston Harbor, and are principally re-
markable for the growth of sea weeds. Clam
and oyster shells are found in abundance, scat
tered along the shorei and on the high ground
in the interior, the celebrated chick-wsed plant,
so priced by Canary birds, waves with prodigal
luXuriance. The native inhabitants of the islands
are divided into three classes, which are called,
in the barbarous dialect, Rats, Sea Gulls and
Rabbits. These islands are of great value as q
depot where picnic parties very frequently
stop; and take their name from the quantity of
sandwiches and mutton pies which are here
consumed. Valuable pebbles are found upon
the beach, and the gulf stream washes up a
number of eats and drowned pigs, together with
straw and beaver hats, supposed to have been
blown overheard from the heads of gentlemen
who had bricks therein, These islands were
first visited by Mr.. Harding, commonly called
the Father of the Flshermen; and il is very
desirable that they should never fall into the
hands of the British power"
Mr. Boreham then proceeds in his usual lucid
Istyle, to give view OF the habits of the natives
and We recommend his work to the attention Of
all who wish to be posted up on a question
which seems to be one Of growing importance.
