WARWICK CASTLE was situated between
the town of Warwick and the Avon, on a
steep activity, and was one of the most
perfect specimens of an ancient English
feudal fortress. 1t was. when it was burn
ed, still used as residence by the Earl of
Warwick. The fortress was originally
founded by Etheltleda, daughter of Alfred,
King Of Britain. The surrounding grounds
are magnificent.

A THRILLING SCENE.

A few years ago l was in company with
gentleman who had just returned from
New England. He said he put up at the
hotel and fora time he took his seat in
the bar room.
The door opened suddenly, and a woman
stepped ill., She was the very picture of
agony; her dress negligent, her eye I'M
steady. She seemed to hesitate at first,
but at length, gathering courage, she NOV
ed up to the bar, and said
Landlord, don't sell my husband any
more rum. You have already ruined us.
You know that. before he came to your bar
he was a sober man. He was as kind a hus-
band as any woman ever had. We had a
good home, good farm, and every CON-
fort. But you sold him liquor until he
had no money to pay. Unknown to me
you got a mortgage on his farm; you sold
it. and turned me and my helpless children
out of doors. My husband lost his health,
his character, and his reputation. He be-
came cross and abusive to me, whom he
once tenderly loved. He beats me and my
children cruelty, and threatens to murder
us! Oh, don't let lin hare any more liquor.!"
and the tears gushed from her eyes, while
the landlord stood speeches..
In the midst of these entreaties, man
stepped into the bar room, and, with the
vacant stare of an inebriate, moved to-
wards the bar.
Instantly the pleading wife threw herself
between the man and the bar, and with one
hand against his breast, and the other
street ched out imploringly to the landlord,
| she said.
| "Oh, don't my dear. don't drink! You'll
break my hearth and, bursting with ag-
on. she turned to the landlord, and said
"Oh, don't let him have it! don't,
don'tr
And while this scene was passing the
| landlord walked deliberately out from be-
| hind the counter, and taking the woman
rudely by the arm, said, "Th!s is no place
for women" and violently tore her from
her husband, and, pushing her out, shut
the door against her.
The wretchcd inebriate staggered up and
drank his dram, placing 4 piece eff money
upon the counter; the landlord wiped it off
| complacently into the drawer, and the
drunhGrd passed out, maddened with the
draught. to renew his brutal attacks upon
his ,lefenceless wife and children.
