A TRUE AND TOUCHING INCIDENT.

sThe Glasgow Chrisfian News gives the fol-
lowing, as ssno fiction, but the plain truth -
A young man and his wife were preparing to
attend Christmas party. at the house OF .
friend some miles distant. ssHenry, my dear
husband, don't drink too much at the party to-
night you will promise me, won't you a''-
said she, putting her hand upon his brow, and
raising her eyes to his face with pleading
smile. s.No, Millie, viii noti you may trust
me-" And he wrapped his infant boy In
blanket, and they descended. The horses
were soon prancing over The turf, and pleasant
conversation beguiled the way. s.Now don't
forget your promises" whispered the young
wife rs she passed up the steps. Poor thing
she was the wife of young man who loved to
look upon the wine when red. The party pas
sed off pleasantly; the time of parting drew
near, and the wife descended from the upper
chamber to join her husband. A pang shot
through her trusting heart, she met him,
for he was intoxicated-he had broken his
promise. Silently they rode homewaad, save
when the drunken man broke into snatches of
song or unmeaning laughter. But the wife
rode on, her babe pressed closer to her grieved
heart. "Give me the baby, Millie l can't
trust yon with him." said he, as they approach
ed dark and somewhat swollen stream. AZ
ter 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 steed safely bore them, and when
they reached the bank the mother asked for
the child. With much care and tenderness be
placed the bundle in her arms, but when she
clasped il to her bosom, no babe ,oas there 1t
had slipped from the blanket, and the drunken
father knew it not. 4 wild shrek from the
mother aroused him, and he turned round Just
in time to see the little rosy face rise one mo-
ment above the dark waves, then sink forever.
| What spectacle! The idol of his heaat gone
gone forever-ahd that by his own intemper-
ance. The anguish of the mother, and re-
morse of the father, are better imagined tban
described.

0S-They have new method of ssgarroting"
in Buffalo, which it is said is not painful. As
gentleman was about leaving house in the
fashionable quarter of the city, where he had
spent the evening, pair of white arms were
thrown around his neck, and his lips were sti-
fed. The suddenness of the attack deprived
him of all power of resistance.

SUNSHINE OF THE HEART.

Oh don't 60 signing through the world,
There's sunshine all the way:
II foun bat do the acts that Ger
Reflect tho blessed ray.
II Iglistens In the grateful tear,
That flows for kindly deed,
And quiyers in the voice that sobs
It's thanks, for help, in need.
1t tsparkies oft in radiant smiles
At tones, tuned in the heart.
And guided over the page of life,
With beams that ne'er depart.
It dwelleth in the loving look
That answers to our own
And swelleth up spring of joy,
To selfish taste unknown.
II smooths the rugged ways of life,
With carpets soft and light,
Woven of conscience free from frowns,
And impulse acted right.
Il cheers the darkest hour on earth
Steels under sorTows deep;
And even smiles above the path,
That leads to dreamless sleep.
