Four years have passed, but alas how
changed is the once happy home of Edward
Allen. Little by little the moral sensibili-
ties had become deadened by the stealthful
influence of the infatu2ting poison, until he,
who once refused to take a social glass Of
wine with the respectable Mr.. Brown IN his
new store, was not ashamed to lie beastly
drunk in the public streets and roads, the
Jest and bvword of vulgar boys, and the
sickening object of pity or contempt of all
respectable people Little by little had the
gold vanished from his purse and the arti-
cles Of household furniture and domestic
comfort disappeared from the once cheerful
homestead. Little by little had debt accu-
mulated at the liquor store until, at last,
that homestead was sacrificed under the
hammer OF the officer of the law, to satisfy
an execution held against him by his kind
and urbane neighbor Brown. Little by lit
tie from bad to worse, until a filthy howell
rags and observation-disclosures and star
walton, became substituted for the lovely pic
ture with which this sketch opens, and rum,
the dire source and occasion Of all these
woes, had well nigh completed his work
In the corner Of yon comfortless hovel,
shivering on a poor pallet Of straw, lies the
famishing, faintiag form of the once loved
and still lovely Mary Allen, for mid all her
sorrows and woes she had not forgotten to

/ tremity. Rum has indeed brought her low
\ blighted her life, brought her to the verge ol
the grave but its foul pollution has never
stained her pure morals. Little Willie, pale
and hungry and clad IN rags, bends at her
| side to present to her thirsting lips a cooling

Lorenzo Dow.


Everybody has heard of Lorenzo Dow,
the eccentric itinerant preacher Be
lated one night in his travels, he entered,
quite unceremoniously an out-of-the-way
house and requested lodgings. The wo-
man of the house objected, having for a
friend one whom Lorenzo soon ascer-
tanned was not her husband. But
Lorenzo insisted, and she at length con-
sented- d-immediately y fastening, against
further unwelcome visitors, the only out
side door of the house. Soon loud
knocking was heard. 1t was her hus-
band, unexpectedly returned. Unable
to leave the house, the friend, to conceal
himself, jumped into a large box con,
yeniently at hand, and hastily covered
himself with the hatchelings of flax II
contained; by which time the wife had
unfastened the door and admitted her
husband. Having spent the evening at
the tavern, he was just tipsy enough to
be both boisterous and courageous he
soon made the acquaintance Of Lorenzo,
whom he had heard much of but had
never seen. He had been told that he
could raise the devil, and he insisted up
on his Immediately doing so--not that he
believed in any, but if there was any he
wanted to see him. In vain Lorenzo OBJ
iected, protesting his unwilliugness and
the danger attending it, etc; but the
more than halfdrunken husband insisted.
At last Lorenzo said, "lf you are de-
termined to see him, open the door, put
out the light, and stand out of his way,
or he may take you with him, for when
he comes it will be in fame OF fire, and
| warn you of the consequences. Light
ing bunch of matches, that there might
be a greater smell of birthstone, and
muttering over few unintelligible SEN
tences, Lorenzo set fire to the hatchel-
ings, and cried out Come forth, thou
evil one, and begone forever when out
sprang the man, completely enveleped
in flames, and put for the open door,
leaving the house with most unearthly
yell. To his dying day the husband was
ready to testify that Lorenzo not only
could, but in his presence did raise the
devil, for hs had seen and smelled him

Declaration of War.

In reference to the veto of the Civil
Rights bill, the New York Herald says
The objections submitted against the
frst section of the bill, however, are
those which mark the impossible barrier
between him and the ruling Radicals of
Congress. The veto is in fact an en-
phatic declaration of war against the
Radicals and their reconstruction from
root to branch Henceforward there can
be no party endowments of the policy OF
Congress coupled with professions Of ad-
hesion to the policy of the Administra-
tion.

A Runaway Bear.

Recently, bear, belonging to an En-
glish regiment, which they brought with
them from India, broke loose and made
its escape into the outskirts of Colches-
ter. about which it wandered for some
hours. A poice-constable met Bruin On
his rambles, and dscreetly allowed him
plenty of room to pass, and lost no time
ia reporting the escape at the barracks.
Several soldiers were sent in pursuit,
and, after some difficulty, captured the
runaway, but not until two of them had
been bitten, though the injuries proved
TO be of slight character.
