Mur the chiyalrous brayer Of all danger,
had also his moment Of fear, which lost tho
countenance Of his general until displeasure

a HERITAGE OF nuEN.

generation ago there lived in Western
city wealthy English gentleman who was
what is called high liver. He drank hi1
toddy in the morning, washed down his
lunch with champaign, and flushed bottle
OF port Tor dinner, just as he had done in
Englgnd, though he complained that heavy
wines disagreed with him here, owing to The
climate.
lie died Of gout at fny, leaving four sons.
One of these was an epileptc; two died
from drinking. Good fellows, generous,
witty, honorable young mem but before
middle age miserable sots.
The oldest Of the brothers was man of
fixed business habits, occupying a leading
place in the community from his keen in
telligence, integrity and irreproachable
morals. lie watched over his brothers, laid
them in their graves, and never ceased to
denounce the vice that had ruined them.
When he was long past middle age, inan-
cial trouble brought him into low nervous
condition for which wine was prescribed.

his affairs wero righted and his health and
and his good spirits returned. But after
this time it was observed that once or twice
a year he mysteriously disappeared for a
month or six weeks.
Neither his partner wife nor children
knew where he went. lie continued to oc-
cupy the foremost positions Of trust in his
native town. but, at last, when he was an
old, grAy-headed man, his wife was tele-
graphed from an obscure neighboring vll-
lage, where she found him dying of mania
a-potu. lie had been in the habit Of hiding
there when the desire for. drink became
madienng, and when there he drank like
a brute.
1t is a recognized fact that in many fami-
lies dypsomania is hereditary, as consump-
ton is in others. The children Of mode
rate drinkers almost invariably receive from
them this heritage of ruin. They should
avoid stimulants as the consumptive docs
the cold, or the scorbutic patient the heat
ing food, which is certain death to them

TIE BABY LsOYs,

Two little baby boys l own;
The elder scarcely walks alone;
His sunny hair and large brown eyes,
His earnest look of sweet surprise,
His funny ways and joyous Shout,
conld not toll yoH all about,
II should try year.
He creeps so fast to catch his toys,
And then he sets up such noise;
His horse and dog and book and bell,
He throws them all about pell-mell.
Oh, Mother Goose If you could see
This little boy, SO full Of glee,
Your sides would ache, fear.
In hammock low, among the trees,
Rocked back and forth by passing breezei
The haby swings and coos to see
The gentle rustic of the tree,
The lights and shade, the leaves that fail,
The sunshine brooding over all
'Tis Indian summer here,
Way overhead, in the blue sky,
The downy clouds float softly by,
A lullaby fair natrue sings,
And through the air its music rings.
All things n peaceful tenor keep;
My little one falls fast asleep,
His mother watching near.
Two baby boys n God OF love
Sends us gift from Heaven above;
And like the shifting rainbow bright,
Tinging the drifting clouds with light,
Their souls 50 fine and sweet shine out
Breaking through mIsts of grief and doubt,
And make my pathway clear.

A WIFE'S FORGIv ENESS.

Forty years ago, says an Indianapolis pa
per, as the story goees, there was a wedding
The bride twas Of good family, and she loved
her husband with the characteristic devotion
Of a good wife. But she found herself gre
viously disappointed, for in time he inflicted
a series Of studied Injuries that eventually
ended tn the loss Of her eharacter-a separa-
ton. She drltei to indianapolis, and be
came the proprietross Of a house of bad re-
putey in which terrible occupation she re-
mains to this day. For years there has lin
gered in her heart memories Of what she
was and what she might have been but for
this wretch whom at one time shs owned as
her husband but she had nothing but
curses for the irroparable ruin his abuse
had wrought.
The husband continued at his old home
and prospered, and the world treated him
as an honorable man. lie surrounded him
self with new domestic ties; but the old
saying that "the mills of the gods grind
slowly, but they grind exceedingly small"
had illustration in his rasei for with re-
verses in business came disease, and disas-
ter followed so swiftly that in a few years
there was none so poor as to do him revo-
renee. Consumption incapacitatcd him for
making a living, and the public hospital
was his only resort.
Then it was that the deserted and cruelty
treated wife, whose life Of degradation had
been Of his own making, sent for him, and
he is now lying on his death-bed in a resi-
dence apart from her own, but surrounded
with every luxury that can possibly smooth
his descent to the grave. One Of the oity's
leading physicians, gentleman high in the
profession, is his constant medical attendant,
and there is hardly an hour Of the day or
night but this woman is watching over him
with the tenderest solicitude.

Mrs. Joseph Wilkinson, of Jersey city, at
A. NJ, on Wednesday, encountered burglar
in the hall near her bedroom. The man
struck her on the shoulder with stick and
ran down stairs. An alarm was given, and it
was found that the house had been ransacked
by burglars and large quantity of valuable
clothing and silverware had been packed
up ready for removal There was nothing
missing.
1t is gratifying to hear that all The loeomo-
tive works in the country are hard at work,
many OF them having more orders than they
can possibly fill. A thousand more men could
be given employment at the Paterson shops If
there were only room for them in the build
ings. All this means that the railroads are
doing an increased business, and the railroads
are the barometer of the national industry
When their trade is large and profitable, the
country is prospecting.
A suit has been commenced in the United
States Court at New York by the Govern
ment against B. L. Babbitt, the soap manu-
facturer, for $685. 4S0.74, with interest and
penalties for alleged deficiency in his income
tax paid the government from 1862 to 1871
The interest and penalties will put the
amount claimed at over $150,000, and the
government claims to have evidence to show
that the defendants income for those years
was much larger than the return made by
him.
William Flapnelly and Richard Hunt of
Jersey City, drank in Ryan's saloon, in West
ervelt-st., on Tuesday afternoon week. As
Flannelly emptied his glass, he dealt Hunt
terrible blow in the face with it, shivering
the glass, and cutting his face badly in seve-
raj places. When Flannelly was arraigned
before Justice Davis Wednesday morning he
watched his opportunity, slipped out at
side door and escaped.
DIR. r. w. Mitchell, the intrepid yellow
fever physician of Memphis, describes the
city as wholly cut off from the world. There
are no trains running into or out of the town,
and nobody leaves the place without the an
thorities knowing it. No steamboats, land
there at all. The supplies are all brought
down on barges, which are dropped by the
steamboats, couple of miles above the city
and allowed to float down. When they ar
rive at the city men in slSilfs or tugs secure
them and bring them TO the landing If there
is any fever carried abroad it is done by some
daring pedder who runs his wagon of supplies
into the town on venture, sells out, and
then clears out.
