We were some what surprised that
this Association, WAS not noticed, in the
remarks made in the Temperance meet
ing week ago; but we suppose as
we have since learned, that it arose
from the fact that it has not generally
been known to be q Temperance AS
ISOLATION" This in fact is its primary
object; every member being required
to sign total abstinence article. Over
forty signers to this have been obtained.
We hope its numbers may be increased
to hundreds. Young men; this associa-
ton is for you. Do you wish to escape
from incompetence with all its conse-
quent vice, degradation, and misery

row, and be scragged for it-that
would pay nicely. Fetch the knife, and
have no more jaw; or we shall wake the
chap, instead Of sending him up quiet
ly to spend his Christmas in Heaven,
without an invitation.'' He chuckled,
and the old fellow seemed equally de-
lighted at his sons wit; then taking up
the candle, went off to fetch the knife.
All their motions had been so nois-
lessly performed, and the conversation
carried on in tone SO wonderfully
clear, though low, that | was astonish-
ed at the perfection they had attained
in their horrid craft. During the faith
er's absence, the son was not idle He
actually loosed the collar Of my shirt,
and then stood quietly awaiting the
others return.
You could never imagine, unless
placed in similar circumstances, what
multitude ofSthoughts passed through
my mind in few minutes. I verify
believe that every Christmas with its
Accomplishments Of fun and feasting at
which I had assisted since I was the
height Of the table, was reviewed in
turn. Then / thought of the morrow
and the fair girls I had left, and how,
an hour before, was full of hope that,
ere another Christmas came round,
should call one my own. Still I found
time for earnest prayer, and to think Of
all sorts Of expedients to escape my
impending fate. Once fancied, now
there was only one to contend; with, !
might do something but just then the
touch of the muscular hand on my
throat reminded me that a. movement
would cause my instant destruction

Indeed, have often wondered that the
fellow did not strangle me in his impa-
thence. How bitterly did Ifeproach
myself for not raising an alarm when
the footsteps first became audible.
AT length the fellow fairly CRASHED
his teeth with rage, and uttering
smothered exclamation of Hang the
tipping beast, he's at that wine again!!"
he also left the apartment to recall his
truant parent, and fetch the Implement
Of murder.
Now was the time, and you may be-
lieve I lost none. The instant he left
the room, was on my feet; noiselQss-
ly I approached the door, dashed it to,
turned the key, shut the bolt, lighted
the gas, and once more stood, my
heart ready to jump into my throat
with Joy aid thankfulness, with nv
trusty pistols in my hand.
There was no chance Of their re-en-
terihg, for their skeleton keys lay on

made noise enough from the win
dow ; my hostess and her damsel, now
reused, joined the chorus, and soon, at
the head of host Of alarmed neigh
bors and couple Of policemen, we
searched the house from :op to bottom.
One Of the men | knew had left the
premises, as heard him dash over the
area ratings, and down the street ; but
the elder rutfian we discovered, stupid
ly drunk, in the cellar, the danger Of
his position not having suficed to pre-
vent his indulging his favorite propen-
sity, when the temptation was so strong.
We found they had gained Admit
lance by cutting away the zinc from
the pantry window, their skeleton keys
having made the rest easy.
Bill, the ysunker ruffian, was too
we'll known to escape detection. He
was captured in few hours, and both
he and his father eventually obtained a
free passage to distant land in YES
sci provided for that purpose by her
most gracious Majesty.
The affair made prodigious sensa-
ton, and l became the lion Of all
Christmas parties that year and the
extraordinary sympathy manifested by
a certain fair individual at the recital
of my story, brought about a most sat-
isfactory explanation. My next Christ
mas dinner was eaten in my own home,
with her as its mistress.
l have often thanked my stars that
good Miss Wingate was not member
of the Total Abstinence Society ;;
for had it not been for the liberal re-
plenishing her cellar underwent a few
days before Christmas, in readiness for
sons and daughters who were to gather
round her, and celebrate in her house
that true home festival, my throat would
have been in no condition to perform
its functions when the time arrived.
Thus have I told the only adventure
of any consequence in which I ever
played a part, and let me add, that
whereas rich and poor alike welcome
Christmas as season Of joy and thank
fulness, l doubt whether any feel more
keen emotions Of the kind than I do,
since it recalls to mind an additional
mercy vouchsafed at that period.

THE HAIR.-It is a great mistake to
plat the hair Of children under eleven
years Of age. The process Of plating
more or less strains the hairs in their
roots by pulling them tight; tends to
deprive them Of their requisite supply
Of nutrimcnt, and checks their growth.
The hair Of girls should be cut rather
short, and allowed to curl freely. When
they are about eleven or twelve the
hair should be twisted into a coil, not
too tight, nor tied at the end with thin
thread, but with chin piece Of ribbon.

WALKING AND PURE AIR.-Anax-
iminess taught that air is mind. Some
one else says air is the hidden food of
life. Plutarch seems to incline to
Anaximiness' opinion, remarking that
perhaps the reason why there is SYM
pathy Of feeling on various subjects
arises from breathing the same air.
Air is an exhalation of all the minerals
of the globe; the most deliberately fin
ished of all the works of the Creator
the rock Of ages disintcgrated and fit
ted for the life of men. All classes Of
men affirm this. Sydney Smith says
to public speakers that if they would
walk twelve miles befare speaking, they
would nevershreak down. In English
universities boat races, horseback rides,
and ten mile walks are a part Of the
educational means for physical devel-
opement. Plato says walk in the
open air will almost cure a guilty con-
science Emerson.
