The burning liquid has scarcely been i'm

Halfintoxicated. his wife retorts, Excited
almost beyond control by her bitter taunts,
he storms and raves.
Fearful scence of human depravi.y-of
human misery! The little children, seeing
their parents fighting and yelling like wild
beasts, are in a terrible fright, The girl
fears for her own safety, and that of her
brothers, and creeps into closet, where,
with her arms thrown around the others,
she is trembling with fear. The sounds of
discord are hushed The combatants lay as
if dead, Frustrated by the poison.
Behold how the children creep from their
hiding place, and roam about to seek for
food. 1t is now dark,-and before they re-
tire to their bed of straw, they wish to ap-
pease the cravings of hunger. But in vain
their search. Not a crust of bread-not
even cold potato can they discover.
Hungry and snpperless they crawl into
their miserable couches of straw.
Each succeeding day is but counterpart
of the one which preceded it. Rum has
brought them down to the level of brutes
And the Aims House and Potter's Field wind

"I Shall Die in my Nest!"
BY SARAH H. BROWNE.

BY SARAH H. BROWNE. @
"T shall die in my nest" " said bright winged bird,
And she SCARED and sang
Till the armament rang
With echoes Of gadness her melody stirred!
"I have chosen a spot that is safe,' said She
No prowling beast
On my young shall feast,
But fere shall they autter and sing with me.
~ have built 1t nice, and strong, and high
I have tethered it fast, -.-f-
So the stormy blast -
May pass it uuharmed it thunders by.
" have stolen down from the royal swan
# She had torn for her nest,
From her snow white breast,
10 cradle my dainty brood upon.
And more than this, have sought and found
The sx-worm's lair,
And have stripped him bare
OF the shining tissue he vainly wound!
aAnd it floats at my secret vestibule--
1t drapes my door,
s.s5 And carpets my floor,
And tangles the dew drops pure and cool.
"And here viii dwell as queen might choose
My heart is light,
And mine eye is bright,
MY pumage all stained with the ranbow'S hues!"
But while she was spreading her wing to soar,
fibre of down
In her eye had flown, sa-=9
Obscuring the arch OF her sik-draped door
Forward with random haste she sprang;
When a silken thread
Entanged her head,
Ard fast in its tether she strangled and swungi
Alas for the pride Of vain young heart! @
Its treasure and boast,
What it prizes most,
$i FaH often conaealeth the deadly dart!
