that you will not kisa me good-night ?
Henry Harland stood at the thresh
old of a fine : old mansion and looked
into the black eyes of Ruth Ward, to
whom he wrs engaged to be married,
who *to»d a little back in the shadow
of the hall and refused to kiss him-
good-night.
“I cannot kiss you, Henry,” she
said, “because you—you have been
drinking, and L cannot kiss a man
whose breath is contaminated with liq
uor.”
The young roan dropped his eyes
and s oiush stole -up **> hi a'brown
cheek, and then . he «*ifered the same
excuse that all juen_ offer when first
they commence to tamper with strong
drink. ,
“1* that it, Ruthie ?” he said. “I
hste only been dunking a gi*** of
wine that Mrs. Glsasoa offered me.—
You don’t object to that, for you know
I don’t drink.”
“Henry, my only brother was ruin
ed from taking a glass ol wine, and I
marie a row, when I saw him in his
coffin, that I would never receive the
attentions of any young man who
wsuld trust himself to drink even wine
and feel that he was safe in doing so.
In the beginning is the time to speak.
The first glass is the one to avoid.—
If yos knew what terrible anguish
your breath scented with wine calls to
my memory, you would understand
better my firmness and determination.”
“Then you are going to break our
engagement because 1 hare drank a
glass of wine ?” said Henry, a little
disdainfully.
“No, Henry, I love you,” said Ruth
“and I think you wiii for my sake be
abstemious m future, and I wish you
would sigu the pledge. You have
drunk wine often of late, though I did
not fully realize it until to-day, and if
you do not abstain from it now, I must
refuse your attentionsin future.”
“You profess to love me,” said he ;
“but you do not, for love would induce
you to standby mo and try to keep me
from temptation; but, instead, you
drive me to destruction.”
“Listen to no, Henry,” said Ruth,
her eyes glistening, and her voice
trembling. “Yoa say I do not love
you, because I will not sacrifice ntv
happiness and welfare, and that ofoth
ers, for you when you will not make
the slight sacrifice for me of signing
the pledge. Reason is as necessary as
love, and bow could I keep you from
destruction when you are determin
ed not to listen to me, but to go on in
the very path which, I am sure, leads
to ruin and a drunkards grave.”
“\ou are too hafffy, Ruth ; your ex
perience with your brother blinds you.
Wine doesn’t harm me, and as it is of
fered me continually, 1 cannot well
refuse it.”
“Change your boarding place,” said
Ruth ; “Mrs. Gloason is doing more
harm than she dreams of in treating her
boarders with wine. Go to Mrs An
drews to board. She is a strong tem
perance woman. If you love me, why
will yeu not grant me this request ?”
“You know I love you, Ruth, but you
ara unreasonable. 1 am in no danger,
and can govern my appetite. You talk
as though I was very near a drun
kard’s grave.” .
It was allin vain thatcareful, black-
eyed Ruth pleaded with hsr lover, and
'will be good friends once more and I
will not drink again.”
Had he gone at that moment, con
fessed his fault, and pledged himself
to abstain thereafter, he might have
been saved ; but he listened again to
the voice of the tempter, and fell, ami
fell, and the drunkard’s seal was up
on him. A few months after he had
heard Ruth Ward’s farewell, he fled
from his native town, determined to
change his course and be again a man.
A thousand times he had thought o‘
her warning, and a thousand limes
resolved to drink no more ; but e\erv
time his resolution was broken and at
last disgraced anti despised, he fled,
no one knew whither but himself.
The twenty thousand dollars which
were his six months befovs were all
gone ; his dress was shabby, his
eyes blood-shot, and his form emacia
ted. From the car window he louk*tl
anxiously at every station, not know
ing where or whan to slop.
At last he spied in the distance a
beautiful village, made up of snowy
white cottages, |shaded with huge elms
and poplars. It looked se qeiet, anti
peaceful, and inviting that when the
train stopped at the station he alight
ed and gaaed with a wistful hungry
look at the shaded streets and quiet
homrs.
How happy he might have been
now, if he had listened to the word* of
Ruth Ward. It was the month which
had hern appointed for their marriage
nd with how mush anticipated hap
piness had he looked forward to it.—
He was weak, and hungry, and heart
sick, and he leaned against a pile of
boxes near him and groaned in agony
of spirit. A man touched him on the
arm.
“Look here, stranger,” he said■)
“you look faint. Come around the
corner, here, and get a glass of whis
key.”
He started at those words ; his
thirst whs maddening, and he was
about to follow the man’s directions,
when another man, tall, gentlemanly
and kind, said, in a low, earnest
tone :
“Stranger, 1 see that you are un
happy ; but whiskey will not help
you.”
“Help me ?” scrcamad Henry, look
ing at the anan wildly ; “it has already
been my ruin ; but what can I do ? I
am tempted on every side. I have
no work, no bomp, no friends.”
“I am the friend of just such as
you,” said the man, in a soft, fatherly
lone.
Henry looked up in surprise, and
there was a gleam of hope in his
face.
The kind man drew his arm within
his own.
“Come with me,” he said, “away
from these dens of murder and de
struction, and I will give you every
iuducement to reform. 1 re^d your
history in youi face, and 1 know the
whole story from my own experience,
for once 1 was a drunkard, and was
tempted alike as you are ; but a kind
heart cheered me, and a kind hand
led tne into a belter path, and it is my
greatest desire to help all those who
have fallen into temptation.”
Henry had indeed found a friend.—
He was soon at woik, and had joined
a lodge of Good Templars in the vil
lage, and his superior education, hi*
refined manners, and uncommon abil
ity, soon raised him to a high posi
tion.
Mr. Ives, the gentleman who had
befriended him, was a merchant, and
black eyes which had inspired him to
greeL him. Disappointed, he was
about to depart, for the hall was near
ly empty, when he felt a touch on hi*
arm, and turning, beheld the black
eyes full of tears, but the red lips
wreathed with a smile.
At the threshold of the old mansion
that night, he received the good-night
kiss, and the promise that the early
spring should find them man and wife.

when she mw thal pleading* wer# all
in vain, the said, In a voice firm but
full of anguish :
“Then, dear Henry, farewell ; I
cannot break my vow. My brother’s
dead face would come to haunt me.
I shall pray that you may see the er
ror of your ways—farewull.”
She was gone, and though Harry
Harland called after her, she did not
retura. He walked slowly down the
steps and along tho gravelled walk.—
More and more his leelings softened,
and before he had reached his board
ing housn he said suftly to himself:
“A glass of wine shall not separate me
from my darling Ruth. I can much
easier dispense with-that than with her
love, and I will sign the pledge to mor
row, xnd we will he happy again,”
He entered the house and was pass
ing on to his room, but a young man
opened a door and stepping into the
hall, said pleasantly: That you, Har-
land ? walk in a moment, I want to
speak with you.”
It is too late.” said Henry, passing
on ; but the young man arged, and fi
nally grasping his arm, half dragged
him into the apartment.
“You shell have a taste ef this wine.”
he said,“the best you have ever drank;
here’s a glass ready for you.”
“No, I thank/yon,” said Henry,

the wine. “No, Dart, I, don’t wish

give me your opinion of it. I say it is
the best wine that ever was made.”
Henry drank, not only the first, but
mere and aeere until bis his good re
els! ve was forgotten and be daggered
to his room. The aext morning he
awoke with a Winding hefcdache and
a guilty conscience.

Henry was employed as clerk in his
store. He kept this position but a
short time, however, for his abilities
weie soon discovered, and the posi-
tierioi heed bookkeeper was given him.
Months passed on, and he became the
handsome, elegant gentleman he was
belore the wine cup maddened him,
and many a young girl felt the blood
rushing to her facs when she heard
his steps or lelt the clasp of his hand,
but Henry had not forgotten the black
eyed girl who had so firmly refused
iiis attentions, and his highest ambition
mid hope were to make himself worthy
of her love, and then seek her out
and make her hia wife.
Several years passed away, and at
last a great temperance convention call
ed him to his native town. His elo
quence as a speaker had been discov
ered, ami he had often addressed meet
ings on the subject of temperance,
hoping thereby to save some soul from
destruction. The evening appointed
for him lo address the convention was
very fair, and the attendance exceed
ing large. Tall, graceful and manly, he
bowed before the audience, and pro
ceeded with his lecture, but he had
spoken but a few moments before he
discovered a pair of black eyes fixed
upon him, the expressive black eyes of
Rutii Ward. He hesitated a moment,
embarrassed and confused, then re
gaining his selfpossession, he broke
the thread af his discourse and related
his experience. There was a dead si
lence 1a the room as the handsome
young man told his past degradation,
nis temptation, his broken resolves,
and his meeting with the good man who
had befriended him. Net an eye that
of gieat assembly was free from fears,
and when he had cloned with an elo
quent peromtion of warning toyeung
men, there was a moment’s silence,
then cheer after cheer rent the sir, and
men and women crowded around the
platform to cla«p the band of the young
orator, in vain he looked for the
Mark Twain’s Speech ea Women.
They tunny faculties of the celebra
ted humorist, “Mark Twain,” were
called i: to play at a dinner once given
by the Correspondent’ Club of VVa*h-
ington. Mark wa* called on lo respond
to the usual toast of “Woman,” which
he did in the following characteristic
ilyle:
“Mr. President. I do not know
why I should have been singled out to
receiva the greatest distinction of the
evening— for so the office of replying
to the toast to woman has been regard
ed in every age. [Appfouse.] I do not
know why I have received this distinc
tion, unless it he that 1 am a trifle less
homely than the oilier members of the
club.
B-: this as it may,Mr. President,am I
proud of the position, an 1 you could
not h*ve chosen any one who would
have aeepted it m >re gladly, or labor
ed with a heartier good wiii lodo the
subject justice th in I. Because I love
the sex. [Laughter.] 1 love all the wo
men, sir, irrespective of age or color.
[Laughter.]
“Human intelligence cannot estimate
what we owe to woman, sir. She
*e\vs on our bullous [laughter], she
mends our clothes [laughter], she ropes
us in at the church fair*, she confides
in us ; she tells us what she can find
out about the little private affairs of the
neighbors ; she gives us a piece of her
mind sometimes—and sometimes all of
it; she soothes our aching brows ; she
bears our children—onrs a* a genera
thing. In all the relations of life, sir,it
is bat just ami a graceful tribute to wo
man to say of her that she is a brick.
[Great laugh ter.]
i “Wherever you place woman. »ir—
n whatever place or estate—she is an
ornament to that position which sho
occupies, and a treasure to the world.
[Her* Mr. T wain paused, looked in-
qniringly at his hearers, and remarked
that the applause should come in at
this point. If came in. Mr. Twain re
sumed his eulogy ] Look at the noble
names ot history ! Look at Cleopatra!
look at Desdemona! lo >k at Florence
Nightingale ! look at Lucretia Borgia.
[Disapprobation expressed. ‘Well,’
said Mr. Twain, scratching his head
doubtfully, ‘suppose we let Lucretia
slide.’] Look at Joyce Heth! look at
Mother Eve! [Crie*ofOh! oh!] You
need not look at her unless you want
to; but”—said Mr. Twain, reflectively,
after a pause—“Eve was ornamental,
sir; particularly before the fashions
changed ! I repeat, sir, look at the il-
lustrmu* riamog of history. Look at
the widow Machree! look at Elizabeth
Cady Stanton! look at Geo. Francis
Train! (Great laughter.) And, sir, I
•ay it with bowed head and deepest
veneration, look at the mother ol Wash
ington ! She raised a boy that could
not tell a lie—could not lie ? [Ap
plause.] But he never had any chance
[Oh ! oh !] It might nave been dif
ferent with him if lie had belonged to
a newspaper correspondent’s club.
[Laughter and groans, hissts, cries n/
‘put h.tn out.’ Mark looked around
placidly upon big excited audience,
and resumed.]
“I repeat, sir, that in whatever posi
tion you piuee a woman, she is an or
nament to society and a treasure to the
world. As a sweetheart *he has lew
equals and no superiors (laughter ;) as
a cousin, she is convenient ; as a
wealthy grandmother with an incura
ble distemper, she is precious ; a& a
wet-nurse, she has no equal among
men. (Laughter.)
“What, #ir, would ihe people of the
earth be without a woman ? * * *
They would be scarce, sir—almighty
scarce ! Then let us cherish her ; let
us protect her ; let us give her • ur sup
port, our encou rag men t, our sympathy—
ourselves, if we get a chance ! (Laugh
ter.)
“But, jesting aside, woman is lova
ble, gracious, Kindhearied, beautiful—
worth}’ of all respect, ot ail esteem, of
all deference. Not any here will re
fuse to drink her lieahh right cordially
in this bumper of wine, for each one
of u* has personally known, and loved,
and honored the very best ot them all
—his own mother. [Applause.]
