But there was nothing in the tone as in the

But there was nnthlng IN the tone as III tue
words tn rcassure me.
As he spoke he crossed the hall to our
own room. and turned the knob. The door
was locked. What could that mean Ed
die was on the inside. or had taken the key
, away with him. Mr.. A ran round to
window with broken spring. which
could he opened from the outside. 1t went
up with clang, hut a dense volume Of
smoke drove him back. After all instant
another attempt was made, and this time,
on lounge directly under the window. he
stumbled on the insensihle form of little
Eddie. snOthered in smoke! Limp and
apparently lifcless he was borne into the
fresh cold air. and after some rough hand
ling was restored to consciousness.
From Tat hour l think have known
how Abraham felt when he lifted Isaac
from the altar unharmed, in obedience to
the command Of the angel oil the Lord.
True. l had been subjected to no such tri-
al Of strength and faith my Father knew

Eddie said on returning from school he
made n good fire. and. as the wood was
snowy. thought he would put it in the oven
to dry y-something he had never done be-
fore. Then. on leaving Mrs. Els room.
he went in for an apple before going to see
Lihbey r ,se's picture book. and it seemed
40 nice and warm he thought he would lie
down awhile. He could give no explana-
ton as to what prompted him to turn the
key-it was the first an last time; but
this could have made no difference in the
result. fnr no one would have discovered
the smoke in time to save his life. The
wood in the oven was burned to ashes but
as the doors were closed. there was no dam
ger of falling embers catching the house
on fire; had we staI to the concert. every
thing would have been as when we left
except that little Edlie's voice would new
er more have made music for our ears.

she referred were without foundation, and
proceeded to give her certain exact in
formation of which he happened to pc pos
sessed, which, as far as possible. refute
them. Unfortunately said the lady. i
have Ct rain knowled 20 that t'ley are bu.
too true-' She then described her rccen,
interview with General Grant. and it ap
peared that from her point Of view the
General was engaged in carouse with one
or two boon companions when she came
unexpectedly upon him; that he rose ia
bis feet with difficulty. could not stand
without staggering. and was obliged to sup
port himself with chair that hs wac ev-
identity 10 an unfit condition to attend to
business, and wanted to put her off till the
next day that his voice was thick: be spoke
incohcrently, and she was 80 much shocked
That shc was obliged to withdraw almost
Immediately. The next day, being ashanl-
ed to see her himself, he sent lis doctor Ia
find out what she wanted.
Mr.. Knapp then told her that. having
been on of the boon companions whom
she had observed with the General on that
occasion. and that having dineI with hin,
aid been face to face with him for fully
three hours. he not only knew that he was
under the influence of no drink stronger
than the unqualified mud OF the Mississippi
but he could assure her that he never had
seen man who appeared to him more
thoroughly sober and clear head d than
Gen. Grant at the moment of her entrance.
notwithstanding his assurances, the lady
repeated that she could not doubt the
the evidence of her own senses. and sup.
pose that to this day Mr., Knapp and my
self rank, equally with Gen. Grant, in h:r
mind as confirmed drunkards.
This experience is by no means unique
one. and the jealous devotion with which
l have often heard both men and wo men
undermining the character Of others for
temperance on equally slight grounds. has
often led me to question # there are not
vices in our society more destructive to
sound Judgment and honest courses than
that Of habitual Ovcrdrinkinc.

unnecessary to more than refer to 1t, to cal
to mind the qualities which mark every
column. The words are plain Saxon with
out attempt at establishment, and the
withering sarcasm is quite as pointed
The ideas could no. be expressed with
more force. AS whole, the speech was
a mastery effort, faithful and thorough
review of the war record Of the Democra
cy. 1t will claim place in the per.r anen'
party, and will be valuable aid to the
future historian of Maine Democracy.
A speech in favor of Gen. Harris of the
sixth Maine Regt., and now Supcrintend-
ent of public buildings, which has not
been reported, furnishes us with another
view Of its authors powers of eloquence.
As his heart became warmed up in admir-
alton Of courage and patriotism, his plain
Saxon took on the establishment Of the
language. Imagination burst loose
from the too close restraint in which he
had been accustomed to keep it. With
rich periods Of eloGuence he takes us
along with him to revive the CORY fields OF
the South, points out the lines Of battle,
unfolds to us the progress of the conflict,
and the outset Of contending b.ttalio ns.
There amidst the roar Of artillery, the
Gathering of musketry and the shrieks OF
soldiers in both grey and blue, he pictures
to us the gall mt Col. Harris, plunging
forward at the head of the invincible Sixth,
charging the enemy in bold defiance Of
death or wounds which await them. A
vast panorama of the Peninsular aud Will.
derness campaigns are opened to us in a
moment. The patriotic zeal of the volun-
teer Lieutenant, Captain, Major and Col
oncl, his haste to rejoin the regiment be-
fore his wounds were healed, was an ex-
ample of the lofty earnestness which actu.
ated our loyal solliery, and which saved
our government in her peril.
Space forbids more definite review of
the successive topics upon which Mr.. Hale
with deliberate composure, but earnest
inter st made himself felt. He will not
thank us for thus bringing his name for
ward so frequently. A review of legisla-
tive acts however, requires some special
notice of the leading actors.

ally. except when he chcws. Being Of a
o-lyniphatic habit,he sits down with his
hat on around the hotel parlors, and rolls
great clouds OF meditative smoke, seldom
conyersng with any one. and then in Di-
ogenes-like way. In the middle OF the
floor. and walking up and down he talks
with the precision OF an Elizabethan dram
utist. splitting at a syllogism all the time.
The power Of his argument is measured by
the number Of spittoons he fills. A small
and easily sur,nounted case takes two spit
too Is ; u good tough argument requires
four; for grear feat of legal gymnastics
he requires as many as nine successive spit
tons of the size OF those great stonu or

spit even full eighteen vases. When lie
