A TEMPERANCE STORY.
ny LAURA A. NORRIS.

The parlors of the fashionable Mrs. Elliott
were thronged. 1t was the gayest party Of
the season. Wit, beauty and talent were us
sembled, and there seemed nothing to mar
the pleasures OF the occasion.
Elliot, the able lawyer and profound judge,
was fond Of the young wife who now graced
his home--not tnat he had forgotten the
companion Of his early manhood, who had
struggled and toiled with him, and who saw
with pleasure the homage which his rising
genius was daily bringing him. She was
several years his junior and seemed like a
sunbeam in the house which had been for
ten years entrusted solely to the care Of ser
wants, hence it was not strange that no turn
cd gladly from the world to the charms Of
his own tireside.
Annie, his only child, was just making
her debut in sociely. Reared in luxury-ac'
customed to having every wish gratiied, and
never assuming any responsibility upon her
self, she gave bat little thought to the
future. She inherited the amiable traits of
her mothers character, with but few of the
sterner elements to which her father owed his
success in lite. She was on excellent terms
with her step-mothcr, who seemed moro like
an older sister than guardian.
Henry Saunders, a young law student in
her fathers office, was not long in discover
ing that she was beautiful, and had been
paying his addresses to her for several
months. The old Judge had no objection to
him and thought il best to let the young
folks have their own way. lie had married
to suit himself, and was willing that his
daughter should do the same, provided she
should choose her equal. withal, he had
always liked young Saunders and thought
that he had showed tact and ability in the
profession which be had chosen. So when
he asked the hand Of his daughter in mar
riage he freely gave his consent with sim
cere show of parental love and pride.
Kate Webster, Annie's maternal cousan,
who lived in the central part Of New Hamp-
shire. did no, possess those outward charms
which made Annie SO much admired, bu, her
mind was we'll cultivated. and mono who
knew her could fail to perceive that she was
possessed Of sterling worth. Arden, and
sincere in ber a,tachmcnts-senerOus and
amiable i, temperament, with natural
kecn-sightedness, she had marked out for
herself the path Of duty, and, when fully
conscious Of acting Alright, nothing could
damn, her or change her purposes.
