The Rack BostIe.

The Macon (Ga) Telegraph tells the fol-
lowing true story, that would fitly adorn
temperance lecture" Happening into a
millinery store, the reporter noticed iady
who was bnying hat for her little girl.
The child made herself sociabie with him,
and remarked, prattling aTtlessly Eve
dot lots o money now.
g When did you get it, my little girl?
Papa broke de bottle
This called for some explanation on the
mothers part, and she finally related how
her incorporate husband had been reform
ed FIVE years before. at the time their old
est boy died. This is the tale she told, be-
ginning-as the story of many a reformed
life has begun-at loved ones deathbed:
The little fellow slowly turned his eyes
toward his father and said: 'Fm going
to die, papa, for see the angels beckoning
me to come. This is Christmas morning,
papa; please let me see what Santa Claus
put in my stocking"
My husband went to the mantle and
took down the little stocking. 1t was
empty. He stood still and stared at it for
minute, and God only knows the agony
of his heart that short time. He turned to
speak, but our boy would not have heard
him had the poor mans breaking heart
allowed him utterance. Onr boy was dead,
The day before New Years my husband
called for the whiskey bottle. May God
forgive my feelings at that minute, for
wished that he, too was dead. | obeyed
him mechanically.
TO my surprise be took the bottle in his
hands, and, pouring the whiskey on the
ground, said II will drink no more; and
the money would spend for whskey we
will put in this bottle, aud all enjoy the
contents.
You can imagine how happy | was? He
had sworn off many times before. But !
knew he was i'll earnest this time. We
made calculation, and estimated that
whiskey cost him five dollars a week.
Well, it was decided to put five dollars a
week in the bottle, for five years, come
what would. The time was ont last New
Years Day, and the big black bottle was
broken, and contained one thousand dol
lars. But this is not all. We saved
enough in that, outside of the bottle, to buy
a little home.
But are you not afraid, in breaking the
bottle, yonr husband will break his reso-
luton!'
" No; because we have started another
bottle bank, said the lady, with a happy
smile.
The husband is Macon mechanic, we'll
known, and enjoys the respect and esteem
of all. He says he never knew how much
genuine pleasure there was at home with
his loved ones until he got sober enough
TO appreciate it, and to Fl II instead of emp
