The Drunkard's Death.

What spectacle is this What lesson
does it teachi The destruction Of mans corpo
real frame is not pleasant under any circum-
stances. The taking down his "clay taberna-
cle," even when he hopes to enter building
not made with hands," in the upper skies has
something melancholy in it. But when we see
mortal stretched upon his dying couch whose
life has been spent in debauchery and revelry,
WHAT'S there connected with him or his, Ell
ther past or present or future, that does not
present the most horrible and forbidding as
pect? Lille is gone-pIoparUy wasted-he lies
upon his bed of straw, with parched lips,
bloated countenance, and blood-shot eyes, the
very personifcaton Of ruin. Tossing upon
his hard and comCortless couch, painting for
breath, and calling for help, but all in vain -
Death marks him for his victim; and now if
for while he is relieved from frightfuI ghosts
which hitherto haunted his disOrdere1 imag
ination, conscience, the sleepleSs monitor, with
redoubled VigOr assails hisstill conscious soul,
and brings up before him every act OF his
worthless life, to blast all hope, to plunge him
in-deeper agony, and to hurry his affrighted
spiritinto the presence of his God. How loud
ly and bitterly does he complain of himself, of
life, of friends, Of God.
lie prays, but it is the angry imprecation of
doomed spirit, demanding Of his Maker a
speedIer discharge. Ihe wild glare OF MS
scorched eyes, his restless tossing, his retch-
ing hiccough, and his deep hollow groans tell
us how hard 1T is for a drunkard to die. The
very presence Of once-loved wife and children,
kindle m his bosom, in advance the very fires
of he'll. The soothing voice of mercy and the
plaintiTe prayer ef the man of God kneeling
by his bedside, but add fuel to the already
raging flame. He calls fer water! water! wa
ter! now, ere he takes up his habitation where
zone drop" will not be allowed him; but, ah
the cool draught only adds force to the de
veuring fire. Friends gather around to take
= last farewell, and his tremulous hand is ex
tendedsto bid them adieu--tfoughts of the
past and Of the future send their whitening
arrows, barbed with the poison of death, to his
bursting heart; and with one strong, agonizins
struggle, his rHined soul staggers into the spir
Stland to receive its sentence. Pity, compass
sf5n, humanity, would let the veil drop here
and cover up the great assize the DOOM Of tn
deluded, misguided wretch; but Divine trut
has said, ''All drunkards shall have their por
zion in the lake that burneth with fire an
brimstone." ."--SfIr95 Of the Age.

ing my little brothers and sisters, and add
ing to the frugal comforts of our dear home
The story of the treasure found in the work
box soon got noised abroad; and, among
other curious visitors ,old Mrs. Lloyd, Harry's
mother, called to satify herself as TO the
truth of the report. She was very pleasant
and gossiping; and soon aiterwards.a formal
but courteous invitation arrived-in which
was particularly included with my father
and mother-to dinner-party at the Lloyd's
three weeks from the date of the note being
the day specified for the feast. To my sur
prise, the invitation was quietly accepted by
my parents; nor was my surprise much
greater, on entering Mr.. Lloyd's drawing
room, to see Harry there, looking well and
supremely happy. A mist gathered over my
eyes when Harry's father took my hand, and
placed it in his sons. All, that was bright
dnner-party for US all! and in three months
after, became Harry's wife. The dear old
work box stands in our house, in PLACE OF
honor; and at festive seasons, when happy
family reunions take place, never was work
box SO much admired and caressed; and my
oN blooming children, and many nephews
and nieces, gather around it, and tell their
fairy tales. until believe they almost expect
some day to see little old fairy in green,
representing good old Dame Nodlekins her
self, jump out when the lid is opened, with
a darniDg-needle for wand, and u ball OF
cotton for stool.

Freedoms Auspices.

II is a note worthy, il not significant
circumstance of the Convention which nom
mated Fremont, Freedom. 5 standard beares,is
the same on which exactly ten years before,
he was chosen in u council of patriotic NEIL
to head an independent Republican move
ment on the shores of the Pacific. OL 18th
of Tune, 1916, TWO days after the hostile
blow was struck against Mex Gu by the free
settlers of California, the F,dg Of i!s Bear
was raised in the captured Province of Son
oma, sm id great rejoicings- With acelama-
tons as loud and universal. CaPt. Fremont,
then ercamped at the Blntes, $50 miles
Lorth of mona, was hailed as the leader
of the revolution. On the 25th Of June Ere
mont entered Son~ma with his little party
of mountain men, and then took place the
junction of the Free Settle, o. Bear Flag
Party, with his own against The Mexican
General Castor, who wss adysnc:rg from
the South to drive the Aneri, ans cut Of tho

At the opening oi another decade of years,
in the same month and day on which Amer
lean Freedom was iaau u ated on the shores
of another ocean, the same principles OF

Col. Fremont's Wife-A Woman of
:: the True Grit.

The Butler Chronicle tells the following
anecdote:
While:Col. Fremont was making his ad-
mirable arrangements on our Western from
tier for that exploring tour in which he broke
his road into the valley of the Sacramento
his young wife in Washington, according to
his request, opened ali letters addressed to
him there, and forw arded such as she deem
ed it important for him TO see. Among the
rest she opened a Government dispatch coun-
termandinS his tour, the fruit, perhaps, oil
jealousy in superior" official station. A
most loving wife, as she had proved herself
to be, must have been under q strong temp
tation to forward that; but, happily for the
world, she took the responsibility of keeping
it. and neither her husband nor any one else
except the poor Tite Barnaclc who sent 1t,
knew anything of the matter till Col. Ere
mont returned, having gloriously effected
the obiectstof the expedition.
Once more, during the protracted struggle
which resulted in the election oi Mr.. Banks
to the Speakership, there happened to De
among the passengers i'll crowded car be-
tween Washington and Baltimore, bos-
tonian, as remarkable as any other IN TINS
CITY for his subserviency to the Slavehold'
ers, and a lady, admired beyond most others
in Washington society for the brilliancy OF
her wit and the intelligent interest which
she takes in public affairs. The conversa-
lion, of which she was the centre, turning
on the great contest in the House, she ex-
pressed her decided sympathy for the Re-
publican side, exulted in its prospect OF sue
cess, and complimented MIR. Banks in the
highest terms. This was too much for the
Bostonian, who expressed his surprise thai
a Southern lady should countenance such
demagogue as Banks, and such an enemy te
Southern institutions. The lady replied,
can relieve your surprise in regard to my
self, sir, for my husband, Col. Fremont, is
Free Soiler; but let me express my surprise
that you, sir, a Noriherner, and Bostonian
should oppose Mr.. Banks in behal: OF South
ern institutions.
AS the Bostonian who met with this ter
ribe rebuke was candid enough to tell th'
story on his return, we forbear to give hi
name, in the hope it has made him a wise
and better man.
