How He Gave Up His Ale.

not without natural Affection; he appeared
to be struck with the wretcheiness of the
woman, and with some eag"rness asked her
why she was crying.

me; must leave you to guess how it has

could beg OF buy for these children that
lie on the bed before you; and am sure,
James, it is better for us all we should die,
and to my soul 1 wish we were dead

day of his death he drank no liquors, but
confined himself entirely to tea and water.

change. His looks became healthy, his
cottage neat, his children were clad, his wife
was happy; and twenty times the poor man
and his wife, with tears in their eyes, have
told me the story and blessed the evening
of the Fourteenth of March, the day of
James restoration, and have shown me the
glass he held in his hand when he made the
vow of sobricty. 1t is all nonsense about

Book Reviews.

STRAwBRIDGE & CLoTHIER's QUARTEREY
for Autumn, 1884, has just been received
from the publishers. Its gaily printed cover
is becoming familiar Indication that new
season is upon us. The subject selected for
a frontispiece for this number will appeal to
the majority OF its subscribers, being ''The
First Born" To those who already receive
this magazine, it will be supeIiluous to say
that the earlier part is made-up of instluc-
tive and interesting articles, well illustrated;
that being the characteristic feature of this
excellent publication; no light or frivolous
matter of any kind is admitted to its col
umns. Turning over the leaves we notice
that the variety of subjects in which ladies
delight, is set before them in the usual
attractive manner. To keep the nmble
fingers busy, as the evenings are grow ing
longer, there are articles on decorated
Towels, Embroidered Cushions, ""Knitted
Lambrequins and Counterpaues, "Foldng
Screens" sold English Embroidery"
GLOW to Applique, ""Home Art Novelties,
and several other equally fascinating topics.
The quarterly review of fashions is supple

many ladies need to learn), and ''Some

sible and practical scheme is given for what
is indeed "Model Kitchen" and if we
were building, we would be more than
tempted to take the advice The crazy-work
fever that does not yet abate, is led with an
fED
that "Spatter-work" is described and illus
trated. Mothers are advised how to make
clothing for their children and outfits for
those who have become schoolgirls. The
article on "How to Paint a Miniature" may
lead to good results in branch of amateur
work that is not over-crowded. We notice
that "John's Wife, has varied her subjects,
though not her style we are glad to say; and
we will leave the reader to find out the
departure. The kitchen page is still ably
conducted by The Caterer Then come the
music pages, filled in this issue by compo-
sition from the pen of Simon Hassler, the
widely-known Philadelphia musician. This
ends the literary part of the Quarterly. Then
follows the portion devoted to fashions in
all the forms that an immense dry goods
house has to offer to the buying public. It
is that part of the book that appeals most
strongly to the stay-at-home buyer, who
does not wish to be behind the times in her
apparel, and yet is unable to go to town in
person and buy. Here she will find almost
everything she needs that can be called dry
goods, illustrated, described, and priced.
