ji 0, tbu men should put an enemy in their moulds, to steal away their brains! that we should, with joy, revel, pleasure, and applause, transform ourselves into bkhtsl—Sha**abi. From the Water Bucket. THE DRUNKARD’S BIBLE. “ Mr. President,” said a short stout man, with a good humored countenance, ami a florid complexion, rising as the last speaker took his seat; “ I have been a tavern keep- AC ” cr. At this announcement, there was a move ment through the whole room, and an ex pression of increased interest. Yes, Mr. President,” he went on, “ I have been a tavern keeper, and many a glass I have sold to you, and to the secreta ry there, and to dozens of others that I see liere.” “ That’s a fact,” broaks in the President, “many a gin toddy and brandy punch have I taken at your bar. But times are changed now, and we have begun to carry the war right into the enemy’s camp. And our war has not been altogether unsuccessful, for we have taken prisoner one of the rum-sellers’ bravest generals! But goon, friend W let us have your experience.” “ As to my experience, Mr. President,” the ex-tavern keeper resumed, “In rum selling and rum drinking, for 1 have done a good deal of both in my time, that would be rather too long a story to tell to-night—and one that I would rather forget than relate. It makes me tremble and sick at heart, whenever I look back oil the evil that I have done. I therefore usually look ahead with the hope of doing some good to my fellow men.” “ But there is one incident that I will re late. For the last five years, a hard-work ing mechanic, with a wife and several small children, came regularly almost every night to my tavern, and spent the evening in the bar-room. He came to drink, of course, and many and many a dollar of his hard earn ings went, into my rill- At last lie became a perfect sot, working scarcely one fourth of his time, and spending all he earned in liquor. His poor wife had to take in wash ing to support herself and children, while he spent his time and the little he could make at my bar. But his appetite for liquor wa9 so strong, that his week’s earnings were usually all gone by Tuesday or Wednesday, and then I had to chalk up a score against him, to be paid off when Saturday night came. This score gradually increased, un til it amounted to three or four dollars ovet his regular Saturday night’s pay, when I re fused to sell him any more liquoruntil it was settled. On the day after I had thus refus ed him, he came in with a neat mourning breast-pin, enclosing some hair—no doubt, I thought, of a deceased relative. This he offered in payment of what he owed. I ac cepted it, for the pin I saw at once was worth double the amount of my bill. I did not think, or indeed care about the question, whether lie was the owner or not; I wanted roy own, and in my selfish eagerness to get my own, I hesitated not to take a little more than my own. “ I laid the breast pin away, and all things went on smoothly for a while. But he grad ually got behind hand again, and again 1 cut off his supply of liquor. This time he brought me a pair of brass andirons, and a pair of brass candlesticks, and I took them and wiped off the score against him. At last he brought a large family Bible, and I took that too —thinking no doubt I could sell it for something. “ On the Sunday afterwards, having noth ing to do—for I used to shut my bar on Sun days, thinking that it was not respectable to sell liquor on that day,—l opened this poor drunkard’s family Bible, scarcely thinking of what I was doing. The first place 1 turned to was the family record. There it was stated, that, upon a certain day, he had been married to Emily . I had known Em ily when I was a young man, very well, and had once thought seriously of offering my self to her in marriage. I remembered her happy young face, arid seemed suddenly to hear a tone of merry laughter. “Poor creature !” I sighed involuntarily as a thought of her present condition cross ed my mind; and then with no very pleas ant feelings I turned over another leaf.— There was the record of the birth of four children ; the last had been made recently, and was in the mother’s hand. “ I never had such strange feelings as now came over me. I felt that lhad no business with this book. But I tried to stifle my fecl iugs, and turned over several leaves quick ly. As I suffered my eye 9to rest upon an open page, these words arrested my atten tion : - * Wine is a mocker, strong drink is rag ing ; whoso is deceived thereby is not wise.’ “ This was just the subject that under the feelings I then had, I wished to avoid, and so I referred to another place. There I read— “ • Who bath woe ? Who hath sorrow ? Who hath wounds 1 Who hath babbling ? Who hath redness of eyes 1 They that tar ry long at the wine. At the last it biteth like a serpent, it stingeth like an adder.’ “ I felt like throwing the book from me. But once more I turned the leaves, and my eyes rested upon these words— ” * Woe unto him thatgiveth his neighbor drink ; that putteth the bottie to him, and maketh him drunken.’ “ I closed the book suddenly, and threw it down. Then for half an hour 1 paced the room backwards and forwards in a state of mind such as I never before experienced. I had become painfully conscious ofthe dire ful evils resulting from intemperance, ami still more painfully conscious that I had lieen a willing instrument in the spread of these evils. 1 cannot tell you how much I suffer ed that day and night, nor describe the fear lul conflict that took place in my mind, be tween a selfish loveof the gains of my calling and the plain dictates of truth and humanity. It wasaboutniueo’clock.lthiukonthat even ing, that 1 opened the drunkard’s Bible a gain, with a kind of despairing hope that I should meet there with something to direct me. I opened at the Psalms, and read two or three chapters. As I read on, without finding any thing that seemed to apply di rectly to tny caae, I felt an increasing desire to abandon my calling, dccause it was inju rious to my fellow men. After I had read the Bible, I retired to bed, but could not sleep. lam sure that during that night, I thought of every drunken man to whom I sold liquor, and of all their beggared fami lies. In the brief sleep that 1 obtained, I dreamed that I saw a long line of tottering drunkards, their wives and children in rags. And a loud said, ‘ Who hath done this ?’ “ The answer, in a still louder voice, di rected, I felt to me, smote upon my ear like a heavy peal of thunder— “ ‘Thou art the man !’ “ From this troubled slumber I awoke to sleep no more that night. In the morning the last arid most powerful conflict came.— The question to be decided was— “ Shall I open my tavern,or at once aban don the dreadful traffic in liquid poison ? “ Happily, I decided never to put to any man’s lips the cup of confusion. My next step was to turn the spigot of every keg or barrel of spirits upon the floor. My bottles and decanterswerelikewiseemptied. Then I came and signed your total abstinence pledge, and what is better, never rested un til 1 had persuaded the man whose Bible bad been of so much use to me, to sign the pledge likewise. “ And now, Mr. President, I am keeping, at my old stand a temperance grocery, and am making restitution as fast as possible.— There are at least half a dozen families that my tavern helped to make poor and wretch ed, to whom I furnish a small quantity of groceries every week, in many cases equal to the amount that used to be spent at my bar for liquor. Four of my oldest and best customers have signed the pledge by my persuasion, and I am not going to rest until every man that I helped to ruin, is restored to himself, his family, and society.” Sign for a Groggery. —A little boy seeing a drunken man prostrate before the door of a groggery, opened the door, and putting in his head, said to the proprietor, “ See here, neighbor, your sign has fallen down.” * Be temperate in all things.
