The Drunkard's Dream.

The drunkard dreamed of his old retreat,
OF his easy place in the tap-room seat;
And the liquor cleaned in his gloating eye
Till his lips to the sparkling glass drew
nigh,
As he lifted it up with an eager glance,
And laugh as he saw the bubbles dance.
"Aha 1 am myself again
Here's a truce to care, an adieu to pain.
Welcome the cup with its creamy foaml
Farewell to work and mopy home!
With a jolly crew and flowing bowl,
In bar-room pleasures | love to roll w
Like flash, there came to the drunkard's
side,
His angel child who that night had died !
With look so gentle, and sweet and fond
She touched the glass with her little wand
And oft as he raised it up to drink,
She silently tapped it's silent brink,
Till the drunkard shook from foot to crown
And set the untasted goblet down.
''Hey, man." cried the host, "what mean
eth this?
Is the covey sick? or the dram amiss?
Cheer up my lad quick the bumper quaff.
And he glared around with fendish laugh
The drunkard raised his glass once more,
And looked at its depths as so oft before;
But started to see on its pictured foam
The face of his dead little child at home
Then again the landlord at him sneered,
And the staggering crowd of drunkards
jeered;
But still, as he tried that glass to drink,
The wand of his dead one tapped the brink
The landlord gasped, II swear my man,
Thou shalt take every drop of this flowing
CAM
The drunkard bowed to the quivering brim
Though his heart beat fast and his eyes
grew dim,
But the wand struck harder than ever be-
fore,
The glass was flung on the bar room floor
All around the ring the fragments lay,
And the poisonous currents rolled away.
The drunkard woke. His dream was gone
His bed was bathed in the light of the
morn;
But he saw, as he shook with pale cold
! fear,
A beautiful angel lowering near.
He rose: and that seraph was nigh him
still,
1t checked his passion, it swayed his will,
1t dashed from his lips the mad ming bowl
And victory gave to his ransomed soul.
Since ever that midnight hour he dreamed
Our hero has been a man redeemed,
And this is the prayer he prays Away,
And this is the prayerlet us help him pray;
That angels may come, in every land,
To dash the cup from the drunkard's hand.

DEAFNESS OF THE Nothing
is more common than to hear old peo
pie utter querulous complaints with
regard to their increasing deafness
but those who do so are not perhaps
aware that this infirmity is the result
of an express and wise arrangement
of Providence in constructing the hui
man body. The gradual loss ofhear
ing is effected for the best purposes
it being to give ease and quietude to
the decline of life, when any noises OF
sounds from without would but dis.
compose the enfeebled mind, and pre-.
vent peaceful meditation. Indeed
the gradual withdrawal of all the
senses, and the perceptible decay Of
the frame, in old age, have been wise
ly ordained in order to wean the hu.
man mind from the concerns and pleas
ures of the world, and to induce a
longing for more perfect state of ex-
istence. a
