THE DRuNKARD's APPETITE.

There was liying(says Hearth and Hon.e)
not long since, in Brooklyn a man who had
inherited from a.dgupkeR- fathsr4an-a -appe-
tito for rum. He was hopeless drunkard.
The man had many noble instincts, and,
better than all these he had loving, faith
ful, brave wife, who made skilful war upon
the demon, her husbands master Rccog-
nlzinS the fact that her husband was under
an ovcrpowcring impulse, that he longed
and struggled manfully to free himself from
the passion for drink, she bent all the cncr-
giles OF her woman nature to the Etask Of
helping him. She loved and suffered and
toiled until at last the loving and suffering
and toiling accomplished their purpose
She took her husband by the hand, and
shared with him his struggle, until, after
years of labor, she ovcrcamc his devil, and
saw him free man again. Her battle with
Rum had been Il fierce one, taxing and
wasting her strength sorcly, but she was
conqucror at last. Her husband stood upon
manly feet, and showed no sigu of falling
again. Several years passed away, aud this
reformed man fell i'll of consumption. The
distinguished physician, from whose lips we
we have the story, prescribed alcoholic st:m
ulants as the only means possible of pro-
longing his life. The poor wife was in ter
ror, and begged the physician to recall the
prescription. She told him of her long
struggle and her victory and said she pre-
terred that her husband should die then,
sober man, than that he should fill drunk
ards grave year later. But the freed
spirit OF the. man was strong, and he under.
took to take alcoholic liquors as medicine
and to confne himself absolutely to such
times and measures in the matter as the ply.

tingushed and cherished friend from the
South (Mr Lamar). gentleman of the
highest ability and unspottcd integrity,
honored by his people and worthy Of their
trust. l speak not by his authority, but as
his name has been mentioned in this con-
nection, say that 1 am sure he would
shrink from such coalition as his soul
would rccoil from cruel wound Of dis.
honor.
The men you could bribe in the South
arc not worth having. You would loathe
them when you got them they would have
no followers or influence at home. And fl
they were to join with your party to sustain
it in its past and present policy, they would
find themselves political pariahs in the land
Of their birth. Nothing will concilatc the
South but justice, and you will so find it.
They want rest, order, home rule Your
largess there will be thrown away if given
to corrupt. These people are! your peers
equals, before the law; and neither by
bribery nor force can you change them from
Sc: idom to villainy. In the precious name
of their manhood and womanhood, repu
diate the ntmation with scorn unuttera
bic.
There will be no division in the Democ
racy. Lay not that fattering junction t.
