.WINdDEST OP THE WEST. “Male hath charms to sootke the savage %ast” c o toe years since, a temperance man moved\with liis family from New Hamp- Stireto the West. The sparseness of the population, and the continual travel past his place, rendered it a necessary let of humanity in fcim frequently to en tertain travelers who could go no fur ther. Owing to the frequency of these calls he resolved to enlarge his house, and put up the usual sign. Soon after this an election came on the triumphant party felt that it was a wonderful victory, and some young blonds of the majority determined, in honor of it, to. have a regular “blow out.” Accordingly, mounted on their fine prairie horses, they started on a long ride. . . . Evriy tavern was visited on their round, and the variety thus drank pro duced a mixture which added greatly to the noise and boisterousness of the com pany. In this condition they came, about a dozen in number, to our quiet temperance tavern. The daughter, four teen years of age, and five younger children were alone in the house. These gentlemen (for they called themselves such) called for liquor. ‘ We keep none,’ was the modest reply of the young girl. ‘ What do you keep a tavern for them V ‘For the accomodation ot travellers.’ ‘Well, then, accommodate us with something to drink’ ‘ You see, sir, by the sign, that we keep a temperance tavern ?’ (Here the children clustered around their sister.). ‘ Give me an axe, and I will cut down the sign.’ •You’ll find an axe at the wood-pile, ' sir.’ Here the party, each one with an oath, made a rush for the wood-pile, ex claiming : ‘Down with the sign ! Down with the sign ! ’ But the leader, in going out, discover ed in an adjoining room, a splendid pi ano and ite accompaniments. ‘Who makes that thing squeak ?’ said he. T play sometimes,’ said she, in a qui et, modest manner. ‘You do ? Give us a tone.’ ‘Certainly, sir ; and taking a stool while the children formed a circle close to her i shp sung and played ‘The Old Arm Chair. Some of them had never heard a piano before; others had not heard one for years. The tumult was soon hushed ; the whip and spur gentle men were drawn back from the wood pile, and formed a circle outside the chil dren. The leader again spoke. ‘Will you be so kind as to favor us with another song ?’ Another was played, and the children becoming reassured, some of them join ed their sweet voices with their sister’s. One would touch the sympathies of the strangers, another melt them in grief; one would arouse their patriotism, an other their chivalry and benevolence. At length ashamed to a9k for more, they each made a low bow and thanked her— wished her good afternoon, and left as quiety as if they had been at a funeral. Months after this occurrence, the father, in traveling, stopped at a village, - where a gentleman accosted him with— “ Are you Col. P ,of S ?” “I am.” “Well, sir, I am spokesman of the party who so*gros9ly insulted your inno cent family, threatened to cut down your sign, and spoke so rudely to your chil dren. You have a just cause to be proud of your daughter, sir; her noble bearing and fearless courage were re markable in one so young and* unpro tected. Can you pardon me, sir ? I tell you that I can never forgive myself.” TV) RENT. A FOUR ROOMS, WITH GAS AND WATER App]y to Mrs. E. Hogan, corner of Price and St. Julian streets. Q HOW CASES, U?
