Only a few Enults.

Alas! that so many iaIr young girls are
deceived by !h:s species of reasoning!
He only smokes a little, aGd chews lit
Ne, and drinks 4 little, never passed the
bounds of sobrety. He is rather fond
of amuseiAents; what man of spirits is
not! True he is seldom al hone--but
the idea OF man sitting for ever by the
chimney ridiculous! lie is fond
of dress-but then he is SO handsome!
All these little straws that point the
way The wind blows, aud regarded as
trivial things--only few faults. After
marriage. when the smoking, the chew.
ing and drinking becomes confirmed
habits, the foolish wife sings in sadder
strain. Then her children want for
shoes. but her husband never for cigars
and drink. Her own clothes are patch
ed and mended--not SO the broken win
dows and his wreiched habits. The
few faults, like grains of musiard-seed,
have grown and increased hundred fold.
Due bills comes in-,he rent is unpaid
friends forsake the drunkard's family.
Then comes the miserable expediency
of moving into miserable house, minus
all conyeniences; where the rain pours
into the gaFrets, and the rats tramp all
night-where the children get cold, grow
sick, and die with fever, and the broken
hearted woman sits till the morning grey,
to stitch her ill-paiG work, turning ever
and anon, with stlfled sigh, TO gaze
through tears upon the little corpse.
Sometimes she starts. The 6tful
winds drumming up the blinds--was il
his step! And soon she is childish, and
,cik and dy ing; and she does breathe her
last. while he, who had once only few
faults. sings aud shouts in drunken brawls
at The pest.,avern or The rum cellar.
This true picture has been thousand
times painted. and lis duplicates hang up
IN the sad chambers of how many hearts!
And yet the though;less girls, blinded By
passion, Needless of consequences, rel.
crates, lie has only few faults and
gives her self up 20 corruption more
noisome than the grave, and 10 !. fate The
horrors Of which no pen can portray.

Sold at a Party.

At party few evenings since, in the
midst OF our sports and lolity we were
interrupted by sister from the Elner-
aid Isle trying to force her way past the
servant, who disputed her entrance to the
room, she exclaimed, Let me in the
doore, I'll see thar baste of mon who
owes me sax and a sax pence for wash
ing these three wakes pas, an divil clint
will he pay me, the deceatful blackguardp
Not half the words had passed, when
one of our guests, Ia stranger TO most of
u.s. started, then bolted, as if struck by
an electric shock, closed the doer and
tried to sooth the poor woman with soft
words, but all he could say did not seem
to pacify her. and her rage, imper,inence
and abuse, seemed to increase. Our
friend apparently lost his temper, and
got in a passion-then scuffle quickly
followed, by the sound of person falling
down stairs, with screams and groans.-
OF course all hands rushed 10 the rescue
of the poor woman, with cries of
'Shamer .Cruelr Shameful the brulen
and other exclamalions. from the female
portion of the party. and the indignation
OF the gentlemen was shown by clinch-
ing their fists. On opening the door, no
woman was to be found. The roguish
phiz and twinkling eye of the gentle
man. who stood picking bis teeth in the
passage, showed that we had been sold
