The Rum-Fiend.

The rum-fend cast his eyes abroad,
And looked DER all the land,
And numbered his myriad worshippers
With his bird-like, long right hand.
He took his place in the leaning street,
And watched the people 90
Around and about, with buzz and shout,
Forever to and fro;
"And its hipr' said the rum-fend, chip hurrah
For the multi les see,
Who offer themselves in sacrifice,
And die for the love of mev'
There stood woman on bridge,
She was old, but not with years
Old with excess, and passion, and pain,
And she wept remorseful tears;
And she gave to her babe her mikless breast,
Then goaded by its cry,
Made desperate leap in the river deep,
In the sight of the passers-by!
"And its hipr' cried the rum fend, chip, hurrah!
She sinks, and LET her be
In life or death, whatever she did,
Was all for the love of mel"
There watched another by the hearth,
With sullen face and thin,
She uttered words of scorn and hate
To one that staggered in.
Long had he watched, and when he came,
His thoughts were bent on blood;
He could not brook her haunting look,
And he slew her where she stood;
"And its hip!" cried the rum-fend, chip, hurrah!
My right good friend is he;
He hath slain his wife, he hath given his life,
And all for the love of me!''
And every day IN The crowded way,
He takes his fearful stand,
And numbers his myriad worshippers
With his bird-like, long right hand:
And every day the weak and strong,
Widows, and maids, and wives,
Blood-warm, blood-cold, young men and old,
Offer the fiend their lives.
"And its hip!" he says, ship, hip, hurrah!
For the mutitudes see,
That sell their souls for the burning drink,
And die for the love Of mel'

A STORY WITH A MORAL.

Once upon a time, during a fam.
inc, a rich man invited twenty Of
the poorer children in the town to
his house, and said to them:
In this basket is a loaf of bread
for each of you; take it, and come
every day at this hour till God sends
US better times
The children pounced upon his
basket, wrangled and fought for the
bread, each wishing to get the lar
gest loaf; and at last went away
without even thanking him.
Francesca, alone, poor but neat
ly dressed girl, stood modestly apart,
took the smallest loaf which was left
in the basket, gratefully kissed the
gentleman's hand, and then went
home in quiet and becoming man.
ner.
On the following day the children
were equally ill-behaved, and poor
francesca this time received loaf
which was scarcely half the size of
the others. But when she came
home, and when her sick mother
cut the loaf, there fell out of it
quite number of bright pieces of
silver.
The mother was alarmed, and
said, Take back the money, this in
slant, for it has no doubt: got into
the bread through mistake
Francesca carried back the mon
ey, but the benevolent gentleman
refused TO receive it.

take. l had the money baked in
the smallest loaf, simply as a reward
for you, my child. Always contin-
ue thus contented, peaceable and
unassuming. The person who re-
mains contented with the smallest
loaf, rather than quarrel for the lar
ger one, will find blessings in this
course of action still more valuable
than the money which was baked in

Important RAILROAD Suit.

An action was brought by Orlando
Hunter against the Green Bay, Milwau-
<ee AMI Chicago Railroad Company, for
damages sustained by plain ifi'in conse-
quence of the negligence Of the dcfen-
lant's agents, in running Il train OF its
passenger cars on the 18th De obcr,
1855, and by which the plaintiff father
VAS killed and himself badly injured,
vas tried ut the Racine Circuit Court
N the 23d aud 18th days OF December,
1857, before the Hon. John NJ Keep:
1t appeared upon the t.ial that the de-
PENDANT had recently raised its road
some cia Int or ten inches over the public
highway upon which the plaintiff was
travelling III the night time, with team
md loaded wagon, and that the defend
mt had neglected to restore the high
way III sufficient manner to Il suitable
grade with its road, by means Of which
| Ohe hind wheels of the plaintiff wagon
we're so iii mly obstructed by rail of
the road that the horses stopped, and in
this situation the train of cars. without
my previous warning or notice, came in
contact with the wagon upon which
he plaintiff and his father were riding,
dashng it to pieces, and throwing them
distance of some 80 or 40 feet, killing
the father and breaking the limbs and
otherwise permanently injuring the
plaintiff.
His Honor charged the Jury, among
o,her things, that to entitle the plaintiff
to recover, they must be satisfied from
the proof that he was free from negli-
gence and that the injury to him arose
in consequence of negligence on the
part of the defeudant-that negligence
on either party was not to be presumed
but must be prove to their satisfaction.
The jury found a verdict in favor of
the plaintiff for the sum of $1,000
