The LIBRARY.-A meeting Of the Directors
Of the Alexandria Library Company was held
yesterday evening, X. Kcmper in the chair,
and Geo. Il. Ii i, Secretary, when it was de-
termined, in order to maintain the Library and
continue tho facilities that have been afforded
the reading public, to take steps for the hold
ing of festival at an early day, the receipts to
90 to the liquidation of some necessary indebt
edness and the purchase Of books, &c. If there
is an institution in the city that deserves the
support of our people, it is the Library, and it
should be pride to sustain it. Since the reor
ganization of the company every effort has been
made to render the Library attractive; new
books have been added the current literature
of the day kept up with. and the room always
kept in order and comfortable. The annual
subscription Is but a trife and is nothing COM
pared with the great amount Of good done by
keeping up the Library, and it is hoped that
those of our citizens who have not contributed
will do so at once. With the increasing de-
maud for literary productions, especially on the
part Of the young, and when it is so important
that the character of that literature should be
unexceptional, does it not become one and all
to foster and support an institution from whence
good will 80 abundantly flow?

What a Fall!

A minister of the Gospel told
me, in 1S47, one of the most thrill
ling incidents | have ever heard in
my life. A member of his congre-
CATION came home for the first time
in his life intoxicated, and his boy
met him on his door step, clapping
his hands, and exclaimed, Papa
has come homer He seized the
boy by the shoulder, swung him
around, staggered, and fell in the
hall. That minister said to me.
could give you the name if neces-
sary. Il spent that night in that
house. I went out and barred,
my brow, that the night air might
fall upon it and cool 1t. | walked
up and down the hail. There was
his child dead there was bis wife
in strong convulsions, snd he
asleep. A man but thirty-fivc
years of age, asleep, with dead
child in the house having a blue

corner of the marble steps came in
contact with the head as he swung
him around; and wife upon the
brink of the grave! Il cursed the
drink" He had told me that |
must remain till he awoke, and |
did. When he awoke, he passed
Ibis hand over his face, and exelaim'
ed, "What is the matterP Where
ami? Where is my boy2 "You
cannot see him" "Stand out ofmy
way. l will see my boy" To
prevent confusion, took him to
| that child's bedside, and as turn
ed down the sheet, and showed him
the corpse, he uttered shrek, "Oh,
my child" That minister said
further TO me; lone year after
that, he was brought from lunatic
asylum to lie side by side with his
wife in one grave, and attended
his funeral" The minister of the
Gospel who told me that fact is, to-
dav, a drunken hostler in stable
in Boston! Now, tell me what
