In the year 1851, a procession oi
Temperance men was formed in one OF
the chief villages In Maine to celebrate
the passage Of the Maine Law. AS il

Ing banners and joyous cheers. to
which the majority out Of its ranks res
ponded. one poor woman, now in the
downhill Of life. burst into tears. and
shrieked out--"0 why was not this
law passed ten years ago"'
During those ten years that woman
had seen her household precip,tated
from independence, comfort and res
pectability to beggsrv, misery and
shame; her children mercifully taken
away from their desecrated. 'lesolate
home, and her outcast, miserable hus-
band following them down to drunk
ards dishonorcd grave. With shat
tered constitution and broken heart.
the survivor Of these years OF calami'
ty and suffering was forced to take ref
uge for the wretched remnant OF her
days in.the Aims House. whence the
spectacle of a whole community exalt-
ing over the passage Of an act Of pro-
lection from agonies like hers only
aroused her to a keener consciousness
Of her own irreparable wrongs. 9th

her woes might have been prevented
by tho seasonablo inlerpcsition OF the
State to ward of the blow aimed at
her household treasures with too dead

AN INTERESTING INCIDENT.

Times OF calamity like tho present
give rise TO many incidents that arrest
attention. Wo heard OF the following,
which we thought worthy Of relation. =
The day after Manchester's failure, a
very decent looking woman, comforta-
oily dressodln black, came up 10 the bank
and inquired II the bank had really fail
ed, On being assured that such was
the TACT, she tottercd to the stairway be.
low the banking house, and sitting on
the stairs, burst into tears. A gentle.
man who was passing. seeing her an.
gulsh, approached her with words Of
compassion, that soon won from her the
narration Of her misiortuncs. She had
kept the house OF widower, who on
dying, left her a handsome legacy as a
reward for her faithful services. This,
with her saved earnings, was PIT into
Manches.er's bank. The interest, ad-
det TO her labor with the needle, sufii.
ced to keep her; and the principle was
dependence In sickness and age. Her
only earthly hope and friend was rome.
Theeompassionato gentleman then said:
"lhayc Just lost my house keeper, who
has got married Il you will take her
place, Your work shall be lighter than
making slop goods, and your wsres
shalibe as much as you received IN In
interest rom the bank, aud you will be
boarded besides. make the offer with.
out hesitation. because I am sure that
one who was honored with such gen.
efous legacy as was left 10 Won. nnust he
Just such person as require" We
need not say how IoyIulIy .he offer was
accepted.
