A Plain Proposition.

It is natural for man to indulge an
appetite that affords him pleasure. Sc
frequently in many cases has this been
done, that what at first was innocent, by
constant indulgence becomes vice: 1t has
been so with Patrick O'Reardon. and be

tice on the charge Of habitual drunken.

"You will persist in drinking, Pat,

Then you don't drink when you are
thirsty, but only in fear that you may be.

But do you think it's as good p

..But what kills the impurities in the
whiskey ?" asked the Justice.
"Nething, at all--t does all the killis

GUARDIAN ANGELS.o

Bright angels are lowering round US
To guard when awake or asleep,
Sent forth as kind ministering spirits
The heirs of salvation to keep.
Unseen are their beautiful pinions,
Their form can no mortal behold,
But yelled are the eyes of our vision
= From viewing their vestures of gold.
Like zephyrs which float in the evening,
When caught by the leaves of the trees,
Betoken their presence by bending
The boughs which they float in the breeZ
So angels their presence beteken,
In whispering notes from above;
In the heart are they felt and unbroken,
Their breathings of mercy and love.
The magical ray of a sunbeam,
Which falls on the bud of flower,
e No sooner unfolds its pure blossom,
By its wonderful life-giying power,
Than angels, on missions of mercy,
With comfort so tenderly sweet, to-
Descends from the mansions of glory, =
The sorrowing christian to greet.
Their pinions are perfumed with odors,
They bear from the city of light,
The dewdrops of spices in glory
Distilled on their mantles of white.
Their presence, so pure and so holy,
Sheds fragrance and perfume around;
Wherever they 60 on their journey
There pleasure celestial abound.
They're with US in life, and in dying,
Convoy to the home of the soul,
The spirits of just men made perfect,
. To shine with the lustre of gold.
Through regions ETHEREAL transported,
Where angels and spirits have trod,
There join in the song of redemption,
Alleluia, and glory to God.

young lady and young man, are slaves,
doing menial work for unIettered
masters and mistresses in Brazil. their
price paying devoted but unfortunate
fathers debit The amount of the
debt, We understand, is 1920 in gold,
and it will take this amount for the
father to secure the ransom OF his
children. The gentleman is known
to many Of our readers. He is well
known throughout portions Of Middle
Tennessee, and is extensively ac-
quainted and connected in Alabama.
Steps have been taken to have the
1920 placed In the hands Of the father,
and we are glad TO say that the pros
poets are that the children viii be
released from the terrible fate that ac-
cumulated misiOrtunes have brought
down upon them. We will close by
adding that this case is not in the
least exaggerated, and that the facts as
given are VOuched for by as veTaciuus
and intelligent gentlemen as there are
in the State
