A True and Touching Story

A young man and his wife were pre-
pairing To attend Christmas party at the
house of friend some miles distant.
Henry, my dear husband, don't drink
too much at the party to day; You will
promise me, wort your" said She, putting
her hand uron his brow, and raising her
eyes to his face with II pleading glance
mo, Mile, l will not; you may trust
me"
And he wrapped his infant boy in soft
blanket, and they descended
The horses were soon prancing over the
turf, and pleasant conversation bcguilcd the
way.
Now, don't forget your promise whs-
pcrcd the young wife, as she passed up the
steps.
Poor thing! she was the wife Of n man
who loved to look upon the wine when red.
But his love for his WIFE and their babe,
whom they both idolzed, kept him back,
aud it was not often that he joined in the
bacchanalian revelrieS.
The party passed of pleasantly, the time
for departing drew near, and the wife des
cended from the upper chamber to join her
husband A pang shot through the trust
ing heart as she met him. for he was intoxi-
catcd-he had broken his promise
Silently they rode homework, save when
the drunken man broke into snatchcS of
song, or unmeanng laughter Bat the wife
rode on, her babe pressed closely to her
grievcd heart
Give me the babe Millc, | can't trust
you with him." said he, as they approached
dark and somewhat swollen stream, which
they had to ford.
After some hesitation, she resigned her
first born, her darling babe, closely wrapped
in the great blanket, to his arms. Over the
dark waters the noble stecds safely bore
them, and when they reached the bank the
mother asked for the child
With much care and tenderness he placed
the bundle in her arms but when She claspcd
it to her bosom, no bate W0S MeG' 1t had
slipped from the blanket, and the drunken
father knew it not
A Wild shrek from the mother aroused
him, aud he turned just in time to see the
little rosy face rise one moment above the
dark waves, then sink forever
Wha: a spcctaclel the idol of his heart
gonc--gouc forever! and that, too, hy his
own intcmperaucc. The anguish of tho
mother, aud the remorse Of the father, arc
better imagined than described,
THIS is no fiction, but the plain truth
The parties were known Ly the friends o
the writer, and it should be warning t'
those who indulge in Intoxicating drinks
and resist the pleading of loving wives.

A Beautiful Sentiment.

Shortly before the departure of the la
mented Heber, for India he preached a
sermon which contained this beautiful illus
tration:
Life bears lis on like a stream of a
mighty river, Our boat at first gldes down
the narrow channe-through the playful
murmurng of the little brook and the wind
ing of its grassy borders. The trees shed
their blossoms over our young heads, the
flowers on the brink seem to offer themselves
to our young hands; we are happy in hope,
and we grasp eagerly at the beauties around
us-but the stream hurres on, and still our
hands are empty. Our course in youth and
manhood is along a wider and deeper flood,
amid objects more striking and magnificent.
We are animated at the moving pictures
and enjoyment and industry passing us; we
are excited at some short-lived disappoint-
ment. The stream bears us on, and our
joys and griefs are alike left behind us. We
may be shipwrecked, we cannot be delayed J
whether rough or smooth, the river hastcns
to its home, till the roar of the ocean is in
our ears, and the tossing Of the waves is be-
meath our feet, and the land lessons from our
eyes, and the floods are lifted up. around us,
and we take our leave of earth and its in
habitants, until to our further voyage there
is no witness save the infinite and eternal y
