he thought his wickedness would call
down upon his head.
1t is notable fact that be omitted his
morning dram on this occasion, and his
wife took courage. Like prudent wo.
man, as she was, she did not say Q word
about the occurrences Of yesterday, and
permitted him to eat his breakfast in
peace ..-.. ...ssr ....-. .-.,
He got through the day without drink
ing drop, but on the following day the
old appetite clamored for the usual dram,
and in the afternoon, while his wih wss
in the sitting-room, he went I'd the cleeet
where he kept the bottle.
Bot the first thing that met his gaze
was the two daguerreotypes, resting
against his black bottle. There was Jim
S'roggins, drunk-asleep; and there was
Jim Scroggins, drunk-awake. ., ra-,a
Them darn'd dogsrtypesv muttered
he, starting back in confusion ut the mis-
erable looking object they faithfully shad-
owed to him.
Jim stopped to think. lie fully re-
solved never again to be the loathsome
being they represented him to be. TAX
ing the black bottle, be went to the door
withit, and with right good will hurled
1t on the door-stene, where it was dashed
into thousand fragments, and the de-
lectable stuff irretrievably lost.
Halo, what are you about2" said q
young man just entering the yard.
Smashing my rum bottle, said jim,
with admirable coolness. "You are the
dogtype man, sin'tyoua' 7 ...

"Walk in, if you please" said Jim,
ushering Mr.. Shadow into the sitting
room, where his wife and daughter were.
Wife" said he, "you had them pic
ters taken"
Il did, James"
I've broke the bottle, and as to look
ing like them things again, never will"
Here is the pledge" said Mr.. Shad-
ow, who was temperance man in prac-
tice as well as in principle.
'1'l sign it, by Mighty" and Jim did
sign it.
Now, wife, will you rub them things
out7"
Certainly, James" and Mrs. s. went
for the pictures.
"And now, !" said the young man, Mr..
Scroggins, if you will walk over to my
saloon, shall be happy to take the real
man, as God made him."
s'I'll do it: and Betsy shall come, too,
and Susy."
Susy went with her rfather and mother,
though her picture had been taken. On
the way, Mr.. Shadow walked by her
side, and said great many silly things.
The daguerreotypes were taken, aud
Jim was surprised to see the difference
between the picture of drunken man
and that Of sober one.
He drank no more liquor, and though
this incident happened three years ago,
he is still sober, reputable man in the
village. The little place is all paid for,
and Mrs. S. is superlatively happy.
Susan, in less than q year, became the
wife of Mr.. Shadow, who, noswithstand-
ing his name, is amsn of substance, and
loves his wife all the more because he
was instrumental in saving her from the
degradation of being drunkard's g daugh-

is leaf from Punch's Cosmogony, show
ing how this world of ours-or as John
Phoenix would call it-this 'oblate sphe-
roid,' was got together out of u very mixed
state of otfairs:
Counting many ages back, there WINS
time when the Universe was all higgle-
dy-piggledy. This was about FIVE thou
sand years before Britain began to rule
the waves-and there were then no waves
to rule-or if there were, they were alto
gether unruly for as yet the sea was not.
for the best of reasons-namely because
there was no land. The azure armament
too, was, in popular sense,-'all in my
eye' The state of the Universe at this
period was called Chaos.

tenterhooks and tripe, rocks, glaciers, rat
tle-snakes, tongs, pigtails. whistle-pipes
and thunder-with hot, cold, moist, dry,
sweet, sour, sharp, fat, and all sorts Of
contending opposites, including several
tomcats, jostling, changing, whizzing, clash
ing, Kissing, flaring, squirting, believing.
and caterwauling; and you will have some
faint idea of what Chaos may have bcen

The Evening Hearthstone.

Gladly now we gather round it,
For the toiling day is done,
And the gray and solemn twilight
Follows down the golden sun;
Shadows lengthen on the pavement,
Stalk like giants through the gloom,
Wander past the dusky easement,
Creep around the fire lit room
Draw the curtains-close the shuttersl
Place the slippers by the fire
Though the rude wind loudly mutters,
What care we for wind-spirit's ire
What care We for outward seeming9
Fickle Fortunes frown or smile,
II around us Love is beaming-
Love can human ills beguile.
Meath the cottage roof and palace,
From the peasant to the king,
All are quaffing from Life's chalce
Bubbles that enchantments bring.
Crates are glowing-music flowing
From those lips we love the best
Oh the joy-the bliss-of knowing
There are hearts whereon to rest
Hearts that throb with eager gladness
Hearts that echo to your own
While from care and haunting sadness
Mingle ne'er in look or tone.
Care may tread the halls of Daylight
Sadness haunt the midnight hour
But the wierd and witching Twilight
Brings the glowing Hearthstone's dover
Altar of our holiest feelings!
Chidhood's we'll remembered shrine,
Spirit -yearnings -Soulrevealings-
Wreaths immortal round thee twine
