THE WIDOWED lNEBRIATE'S LAMENT.

I'm thinking on thF smile, Mary
Thy bright and t:usting smile
In the morning of our youth and love,
Ere sorrow eame-or guile:
When thine arms were twined about my neck
And minc eyes looked into thine
And the heart that ,hrobbcd for me alone,
Was nesting close to mine!
see full many smile, Mary,
On young lips bcam'ng bright:
And many an'cye Of light and love
Is fashingi!s tay sight.
But tic smile is not for my poor heart,
-Slid'the eye is strange to me,
And loneliness comes DER my soul
When its memory turns to thee
I'm thinking on the night, Mary,
Thc night Of grief and shame,
When with drunken rawlings on my lips,
To thee homeward came
o, the tear was in thine earnest eye,
And thy bosom wildly heaved,
Yet smile of love was on thy check,
Though the heart was s1rcly grievcd.
But the smile soon left thy lips, Mary,
And thine eye grew dim and sad
For the temptcr lurcd my steps from thee,
And the winc-cup drove me mad;
From thy check the roses quickly fed,
And thy ringing laugh was gone,
Yet thy heart still fondly chung to mic,
And still kept trusting on.
o, my words were harsh 10 thee, Mary,
For the winc-cup made me wild;
and chid thee when. thine eyes were sad,
And cursed thee when they smiled;
God knows loved thee even then.
But the fire was in my brain.
And the curse Of drink was in my heart,
TO make my love a banc.
Twas pleasant home Of ours, Mary,
In the spring time Of our life,
When looked upon thy sunny face,
And proudly called thee wife
And twas pleasant when our children played
Before our cottage door
But the children sleep with thee, Mary,
shall never see them more,
Tbou'rt resting in the church-yard, now,
And no stones is at thy head.
But the sexton knows drunkard's wife
Sleeps in that lowly bed 8
And he says the hand of God, Mary,
viii fall with crushing weight
On the wretch who brought thy gentle life
10 is untilncly fate.
But he knows not Of the broken heart
bear within my breast5
Or the heavy load Of vain rcmcrsc,
That will not let Inc rest:
lie knows not Of the slccplcss nights,
When dreaming of thy love,
seem to see thy angel eyes,
Look coldly from above.

Misplaced Confidence.

Smith is, in general, good husband
and q domestic man. Occasionally,
however, his convival tastes betray him
into excesses which have subjected him
more than once to the discipline Of Mrs.
Smith. A few nights since he was in
vited to "participate" with few friends
at Florencc's, by way of celebration OF
piece of good luck which had beEallen
one of his neighbors. He dill partici-
pate, and TO his utter astonshment,
when he arose to take his leave, at the
"wee short hour ayont the twilight"
he found the largest brick in his
hat he ever saw. Indeed, he was heard
to remark soliloquently, al think, Mr..
Smith, you were never quite so tight be-
fore"
He reached his home finally, but by a
route which was anything but the short
est distance between points, not, how
ever, without having experienced very
considerable anxiety about the reception
which awaited him from Mrs. Smith.
He was in luck that night, was Mr..
Smith, barring always his primal trans
gression; he got into his house, found
his way into his chamber without "wak-
creature-not even a mouse" After
closing his door, he cautiously paused to
give thanks for the conscience uDde-
fled" which secured to Mrs. Smith the
sound and refreshing slumbcrs which
had prevented her from taking notice Of
his arrival. Being satisfied that all was
right, he proceeded to remove his integu-
mcuts with as much dispatch and quiet
us circumstances would permit, and in
the course Of time, sought the vacant
place beside his slumbcring consort.
After resting moment, and congratu-
laing himself that he was in bed, and
that lis wife did not know how long he
had been there, it occurred to him that if
he did not change his position. Mrs.
Smith might detect from his breath that
he had been indulging TO prevent such
Il catastrophe, lie resolved TO turn over.
