since | have been hereto raise funds suf-
ficient to take her to Paris. I love that
sister as do my own life !; I have labored
day and night-have deprived myself Of
many comforts, and borne your taunts
and jeers for her sake But I can bear il
no longer. 1fyou are men you will desist;
if you do not, I warn you OF the conse-
quences !"
Zeke had risen to his feet and heard all
my friend had said. As he listened to the
Quaker, could see the moisture coming
into his eyes; and when he had finished,
he stepped forth, and grasping Quaker's
hand, while the tears trickled down his
face, he said, in voice quivering with
emotion,
"My noble fellow, we have wronged
you deeply and for one ask your forgiv-
ness. Had you but told us whatyour OBJ
ject was we would not have placed sin
gle obstacle,ia your way
81 forgive you freely, sir, l forgive you
ALL" said Quaker.
''And how much have you to raise yet,
l asked, ''before you will have the requi-
site sum-"

good bills, shall be ready to start to Eu,

s'You won't have to wait that long,
said Zeke, laying the money he held in bis
hand upon the stone, 'sif nay weeks wa
ges, every cent of which you are welcome
to, will help you along any. Come boys, :
he added, chow many Of you will follow
suit?"
"Well, there's mine" said jim, laying
an X upon the pile, 'Hand mine," anc
mine, ;" "and mine," said dozen voices
as each hand deposited an equal amount
until they had made quite a pile of banl
bills.
esThere, stranger, take that, and may
God prosper you," said Zeke, rendering
him the money.
"No, gentlemen, answered the Quaker
II thank you for your liberality, but can
not take your money. I am no beggar
all I ask is that may be allowed to do my
work without being disturbed"
fBut you must take it, urged Zekt
growing warm, eve owe it to you, and you
shall take it. We've done you a great
wrong-we've abused you-and we have
no other way of making amends. Besides
if you don ttake it, it will be spent before
Monday morning, and know that for my
part it will be much pleasanter to com
mence the week with the consciousness O
having appropriated my money in sensi
bic way, than with the foggy head, aching
limbs, and empty pocket, which always
follow a ''free and easy"
Still the stranger hesitated. "Take i
take 1t Tor your sisters sake, SAID two
or three voices.
"I accept it, gentlemen" said the Qua
ker, as you say, for my sisters sake, and
hope to be able some day to return it, prin
cipal and interest,"
Quaker left for Paris shortly after; anc
in a few months we had the satisfaction O
hearing that his sister was completely re
stored to sight, and thatthey were on thei
way home.
I have heard from him several times
since. His s.lines have been drawn il

DIVORCE AND REcoNsIDERATIoN.-
resident Of this city sued for a divorce
from his wife in one of our courts last win
ter. It was granted, and the couple duly
separated. He went to New Orleans and
engaged in business, and she remained in
this city among her friends. The yellow
fever, which is driving SO many persons
from New Orleans at present, induced, as
we understand, the ex-husband to seek
refuge inthis city. Hearriyed a few days
ago, and one hour after his arrival here
witnessed the second marriage knot tied
between himself and former wife. 1t was
said to have been done more ef,ectually
than before, and both parties were conf
dent that there would be no further need
Of untying it. Divorces are quite common,
but such second marriages are Of rare oc-
currence.-S. Louis Inteltigencer. -..g.s

The Maine Law in Boston.

ne New ork 7ftbune-a journal (which
has sad more in favor of the Maine law
than any other paper in the country, and
which he has full faith that its stringent
provisions could be enforced every where.
even in large cities-thus admits, in some
queries which it puts to the Life-Boat,
Temperance sheet published in Boston,
that that statute is not only not enforced
in that metropolis, but that no attempt are
made to enforce it. 1t says:
The question perpetually and every
where asked by Temperance men respect
ing Boston, is not-"Why is not the Liq-
uor Law thoroughly enforced there?''-
but, "Why is it not enforced at all?" Why
don'tthe temperance men try to enforce it?
Where are theirprosecutors? their watch
men? their Vigilance Committees? Mr..
Life Boat! +! suppose you try your hand on
these questions?
Great bodies move slowly" do they?
Well, we don't see how that applies to the
case. Whoever fancied that the Temper
ance party in Boston was great body?
II it is, it is very meagerly provided with
soul
Does any one suppose that law, which
is SO opposed to public sentiment that no
attempts are made to enforce it even in
Boston, the very headquarters of New
England Fanaticism and Puritanisnl, wo'ld
be respe cted in Cincinnati, whose popula-
ton is not near as fayorably disposed to
its principles as that of its New England
