What the Editor Saw.

The other day we noticed him as he,
came across the bridge, with his wagon
full of cotton, and chickens, and eggs.
He found ready market for his prod
uce, and we thought how happy his lit
tie ones would be when he returned
home in the evening with toys, and
dresses, and shoes, and food for the
morrow, and some clear money in his
purse. We thought we could see his
wife standing in the doorway to give
him cordial greeting on his return,
so DESTROYS were we that he should
make home ones happy and contented.
We could almost see his cheerful face
rs he returned to his family after a
day absence. SO we thought and re-
turned to our work. But eventide
came, and he passed by our window
again. He had nothing we thought he
would have. The bed of the wagon
was bare. No little shoes, nor toys,
nor dresses, nor food for the morrow,
nor money in his purse, we dare say.
The man was drunk. He had changed.
This changed our thoughts of his
home. We could see the children
shrinking from his approach, and the
wife, so carcworn and sorrowful. She
could not meet him with the pleasant
smile with which she had intended
greeting him. He was breaking har
heart and preparing to make pauper4
OF his children. -AlaJaRe PaDtist.

TEMPERANCE.
COME AWAY, JoNATHANI

o the ruby drops are sparkling on the foam
ing goblets rim,
And the song is so enchanting where the
may dancers swim
To the music of the frolic as IL tinkles wild
and glad
Til the cypriau seems an angel to the wide
eyed country lad,
And the melody and motion flowing round
him like sea
Numb his sense and woo his fancy to that evil
company;
But there peril in the dancehou and those
feet are downward bound,
And there's death within the goblet when the
merry cup goes round.
Then no! my Jonathan, hoI
Come away, come away,
My Jonathan.
When the wine is going inward and the blood
is getting hot,
First 1t SINNERS then it bubbles like the water
in the pot;
One word brings on another, and another
brings a blow,
Then come out the knives and pistols and the
blood begins to flow;
There's a murder in the brothel, there's a
wall upon the air
And hagRard young man flying in a frenzy
of despair:
So carousals end in folly and the folly ends in
The way TO cease from doing wrong is never
to begin.
Then hol my Jonathan, no!
Come away, come away,
Nuy JOHdludIl!
There's mighty fortune waiting, there's in
huenee, there il fame,
On the lucky speculation, on the deftly-man-
aged game;
Hope outruns the pace of reason, and her
pictures fill the sky,
Till the young man bids his candor and integ-
rlty 'good-bye!
Then the sharpers blow their bubble till it
bursts with frightful sound,
And the blood of one poor suicide is curdling
on the ground.
Love of gain insaney worshiped leads to ruin
leads to crime:
The man who owns the game, my boy will
win it every time.
Then no. my Jonathan, no!
Come away, come away,
My Jonathan!
Yes, come away, my Jonathanl there S
nothing half so fair
AS that sweet flower of innocence that blooms
in country air:
There is danger in the city for a simple lad
like you
Who knowest not the rottenness that art con-
ceals from view.
There where color, light and music glorify the
house of sin,
And drinking dens are palaces to lure the
paSSer in;
Where NlammOn stands with ready smile and
proTers sudden gain,
Who sOws his youth in such a soil may reap
the fruit in pain.
Then no! my Jonathan, no!
Come away, come away,
My Jonathln.

heartened at the slowness with which
the movement pushed itself forward.
Golden and Bright had organized
great 9eform agitation, and within ten
years their labors had been crowned
with success. But it was now fifty
years since Joseph Livesey's famous
seven men of Preston signed the first
total-abstinence pledge in England. |
and yet the movement could only lie
said to have got well started. Never
theless, he had immense hopes from
the late extension of the franchise in
England. Whenever he walked into
Westminster Abbey he had all around
him memorials of the great anti
slavery struggle. There was the tomb
of Wilberforce, and there were the
names of the other mighty heroes of
that glorious past written in imperish-
able letters. He reminded his hearers
of the debt that America owes to En-
gland for her origin and progress, and
particularly for her freedom from the
curse of slavery. He would have
Americans know that they now have
an opportunity of discharging that
debt. America was distinctly and de-.
cidedly in advance of England on the
Temperance question-this he said not
in tlattery, but because it was true. Let
America now inspire England and En-
gland help America in this second great
crusade for humanity. The last words
he would say were the words of that
dying hero:
