Whisky Stops a Wedding at the

There was n strange scene mt
Cincinnati one day last week. A

lady was engaged to be married,
aud made the discovery that her
atlianccd was in the habit of drink
ing, and told him what she had
learned. lie promised never to
drink again, aud she forgave him.
The wedding day was subsequently
set, and all went well until the
morning appointed for the perform
ancc of the ceremony. During his
interval he made his usual visits,
tand though he drank at times, the
hCtrothcd never learned of his
taithlessness until it was nearly too
late to punish him for it. They
were standing side by side, aud u
moment more would have fOnnd
them man and wife, when he turned
toward her and his tell-tale breath
spoke of whisky. When the minis.
ter propOundrd the usual question
to her the response came family,
" No" In surprise the question
was again asked, and this time the
response was clear and decisive,
" No" She then turned TO her
lover, accused him of drinking, re-
minded him Of his promise to her,
and said that a man who would
break a promise so solemnly made
could not be relied upon, and she
feared to trust her future to such
man. representations and treaties
were all in vain, and that little

Though she left me in sadness behind,
She came back to me true in the fall of the

And on the eve of life's close dropped her
