4 Touching Incident.

Some years ago we visited Portsmouth,
n. H., to attend a mass meeting of the Wash
ingtonians. As we were passing along one Of
the principal streets, our attention was at.
tracted by the noise of bell, succeeded by
the stentorian tones Of the sturdy crier, who
was announcing the meeting. As he ap.
preached near, we said to him
Friend | hope you are personally in.
terested in the object about which you are
making so much noise for the benefit Of
others"
"Ah" said he, am glad YOU mentioned
it. want to tell you about it; am ashamed
to tell you, | was an awful drunkard once
I'll tell you what turned me round. was
terribly dry, one morning, and wanted some
rum | handed my youngest boy, only six
years old, some coppers and a jug, and told
him to 60 and get me pint Of rum. 1t was
a real cold morning and Wilie's trowsers were
thin and ragged, and he had no great coat nor
mitteus. Willie didn't want to go but
scoldcd him, and he started few steps, and
then stopped and said,
Father | wish you would give me a cent
to buy a stick of candy
| told him to 90 along and not bother me
about stick of candy The little fellow be-
gan to cry, and stammerod out,
Father, you never give me any money to
buy candy. Tommy Jones (he was the rum
sellers boy) has candy every day, and he says
| can't have any because my fathers
drunkard "
felt as though lightning had stru * me-
" Good God /" said l. has it come to this ?
Have been paying my money to support the
rumseler and his wife in luxury, while my
own little boy could not have single cent
for candy? Yes, | am a drunkard but old
Jones children won't sneer at Willie and me
any more"
called my boy back, and took the jug and
the money. Here are the coppers, said he,
taking them from his pocket-.-Gye of them
l will keep them as long as live, and when
| die, leave them as a sacred legacy to my
children. | have got six, and good wife
besides. You don't look upon drunkard
now Thank God, am saved, aud my home
is happy | will do what can to save
others, stranger. That jug don't 90 to Jones's
now, and my boys as smart as his !" Hay-
ing told me about it, he again rang his
bell, and walked away, procaiming as before,
the invitation to attend the great convention.
The name Of the noble man has passed from
memory but his story is fresh in our mind,
and is given very nearly in his own words.

All that exces. of Aattcriug and peiting Of
which women are so fond becomes a bore to a
man if required as part Of the daily habit of
life. Out in the world as be is, harassed By
anxictes Of which she knows nothing, home
is emphatically his place Of rest where his
