A Husband and Father.

\ young man and his wife were
prepared 10 attend a 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, won't you? 2
said she putting her hand upon his
brow, ana raising her eyes to as face
with a pleading glance.
NO, Mile, will not ycu may

And he wrapped his infant boy in a
soft blanket ami they proceeded.
The horses were soon pranciug
over the turf, and pleasant conyersa-
tion beCuilcd the way.
Now don't forget your promise,
whispered the young wife, as she
passed up the steps.
Poor thing, size was the wife of
man who loved TO look upon the wine
when it was red. But his love for hi.
wife and babe, whom they bo;u idol
lied, kept him back. and it was not
often that he joined in the baccAaua
Ian revelries.
The party passed off pleasantly, tie
time for departing drew near, and
the wife descended from the upper
chamber TO join her husband. \
pang shot through the trusting heart
as she met him, for lie was intoxicated .
he bad broken his promise. /
Silently they rode homeward, save
when the drunken man would break
into snatchas Of song, or unmeaning
laughter. But the wife rode on, her
babe pressed closely on her grieyed
heart.
Give me the babe, Mile, | can't
trust you with him. said he, as they

swollen stream which they had to
ord.
After some hesitation, she resigned
Ter tirst-born, her darling babe, close
y wrapped in the great blanket, to
lis arms. Over the dark waters the
loble steed safely bore them, and
When they reached the bank the
mother asked for the child.
With much care and tenderness he :
,laced the bundle in her hands, but
when she clasped it to her bosom no
,abe. was thercl 1t had slipped from
he blanket, and the drunken father I
