The DrunAard's Home.

Of all the Woe, and wretchedness, which
awaken our compassionate all the scenes
of misery which call so loudly for sympa-
thy--there is none SO harrows up the feel
ings as the drunkard's home! Look at him
who begun life with the love Of friends, the
admiration Of society, the prospect of ex-
tensive usefulness. look at him in other
years when he has learned to love the
draught, which, we shudder while We say
it, reduces him to the level Of the BRUTE
Where is now his usefulness? where the
admiration; where the love that once was
his? Love? none but the love of a wife or
child, can cling to him in his degradation.
Look at the woman, who, when she repeat
cd "for better or for worse would have
shrunk with terror had the faintest shadow
of the "worse" fallen upon her young heart
Is tl.at she who, on her bridal day, was
adorned with such neatness and taste? All,
me! what sad charge! And the children,
for whom he thanked God at their birth; the
little ones Of whom ne had been so proud,
whom he had dandled on his knee, and
taught to lisp the endearing name of father
see them trembling before him, and en-
deayoling to escape his violence. Look at
the empty basket and full bottle; the nat
ural wants of the body denied to satisfy the
unnatural cravings of a depraved appetite.
Oh! God, have pity upon the drunkard' 5

Nor has heen missing all the while.

Nor leave the door of Heaven ajar;
Nor has little angel left,
And gone down with falling star.

If she won't frankly own and say,

Where the yoang may exult, and the aged may

Where the praries, like seas where the b,llow,

Are broad as the kingdoms and empires of old,
And the lakes are ike oceans in storm in rest,
Away, far away to the Land Of the West.

Shall strengthen our hands and forbid US to sigh,
Away, far away, let US hope for the best,
And build up home in the Land Of the West.

BY DAVID BARKER.

One night as old Saint Peter slept,
He left the door of Heaven ajar,
When through a little angel crept,
And came down with a shining star.
One summer as the blessed beams
OF morn approached, my blushing bride
Awakened from some pleasing dreams,
And found that angel by her side.
God grant but this-I ask no more;
That when he leaves this world of sin,
He'll wing his way to that blessed shore,
And find that door of Heaven again.
