debating school, which had been purposely
planned for his ruin. His wife had noticed
that in the morning succeeding the night that
he attended the debating school he. had a
slight headache, his eyes appeared swollen and
blood-shot, and she thought it was caused by
his being out late, until his evening visits at
the village became more frequent and his
family less attractive, and finally he came
home very late one evening and bore unmis-
taxable evidences of intoxication, and then
the whole truth flashed across his. poor wife's
mind. Her husband was drunkard His
course was then downward till we find him
almost confirmed drunkard. His wife plead
with him, but without avail In vain did
friends and relatives beg of him to stop and
think. Alas ! he needed them not Too well
had his wife's enemy fulfilled his oath. Charles
Evans was drunkard, and fast rushing to a
drunkards grave.
But an everything Providence arrested him
in his wild career. One evening his poor wife
was watching and waiting for his return home
as she supposed, drunk. The clock had just
struck one, and she heard his step, not as if
staggering along, but firm and elastic as of
old Could it be true In few moments
the door opened and he stepped in, sober and
in his right mind /; and seeing his wife had
been weeping, he stepped to her side, and
taking her. hand in his, he said, "Cora, dear
Cora, forgive me. / have been monster
but by the grace of God, will be man -
Charlie" said she, "you always were man
till the devil in liquid form changed YOU But
what has happened9 Your clothes are all be-
smeared with mud, and you have returned
his wife that after drinking and carousing in
drunken revelry till a late hour, he started for
home, beastly drunk, and had not gone far on
the road when he fell down and finally fell
asleep, and during his sleep he dreamed he
was home everything was neat and cheerful,
and all was happy; and then the scene changed.
He had just returned home from drunken
spree, wild with liquor, and called for some
thing to eat. His wife told him there was
nothing in the house. He flew into rage,
and hearing little Charlie cry, he picked up
chair and knocked him senseless. His wife

and then and there he vowed before God never
again to taste Intoxicating drinks or mingle
with those who did. His wife listened ear
nestly till he was done, and smothered
"thank God !" broke from her lips. ''Oh,
Charles, if you will only keep your VOW, we
may yet be happyl"
And Charles Evans did keep his vow, and
in two weeks after this remarkable dream he
joined the Good Templars, and has been an
honor to the lodge ever since He has regain
ed his position in society, and is again sober
and industrious man. These facts were re-
lated to me by Mr.. Evans himself, with per-
mission to publish the circumstances, with
holding the correct names (which / have
done).
And now, dear reader, let me say to each
and to all, beware of the wine cup. Let not
the first glass entice thee, for "at the last it
biteth like serpent, and stingeth like an
adder"

That's too hard way thought I,

And when we met tried to
How codly formal could be
And courteously treat him;
But when woman tries to hate,

The more frowned, the more felt
That he my heart winning

And, from the closing love feast when,
As we walked home together,

And calmly asked he whether

And must take him or lose him.
