THE CHARM OF MUSIC. Slow the Rioters Were Reformed—A pretty Little Temperance Story. In the year 1838 a man named Tappan moved with his family from New York to the remote western country, said family consisting, besides himself, of a wife and eix daughters. He had failed in business; was broken in spirit; his children, he thought, needed fresh air; so he accepted as a gift from his brother a large tract of land upon the edge of the wilderness, and settled thereon. Very soon enterprising people began to settle beyond him, and there came to be much travel past his door; and, as an act of humanity, he frequently entertained wayfarers. As these calls upon his hospitality became more and more frequent, he enlarged his house to meet the requirements of a comfortable inn, and put up the usual iiui-kcepcrs’ sign. Not long alter this a'party of young men, eight or ten in number, well mounted, were returning, by a roundabout way from an electioneering expedition. They had stopped at every tavern on their route and toward the middle of the afternoon they reined up before Tappan’s door, pretty well under the influence of various kinds of fiery fluid, and having dismount* ed and secured their horses they entered the house and noisily demanded whisky. Now it happened that Mr. Tappan and his wife were both away, and only his daughters were in charge; and it also hap pened that the host, being a rigid and con scientious teetotaler, had never kept any spirituous liquor in the house. Of this fact the visitors were informed by the eldest daughter, a handsome, intelligent girl of eighteen. But the riotously inclined inva ders had no care just then for female beauty, nor were they moved by the fear and distrust of the frightened girls; but they still demanded whisky, and when they had become assured they could not have it, they resolved that they would cut down the sign before the door, and the leader so informed the young lady. “You must do as you please, gentle men,” she said, shrinking, while her little -sisters gathered around her for protection; ■“I cannot prevent you.” “A tavern sign and no whiskyl Such a sign is a base fraud.” ’•Aye—down with it!” “Where is yonr ax?” “You will find it somewhere by the woodpile, sir.” Three or four of the party made a rush for the woodpile, cursing as they went, While the leader of the gang, a young man who would have been decidedly haudsoiue If he had been himself, with others of his companions, took a notion to overhaul the house, insisting-that there must be a “drop of something” somewhere. And we may say here that the whole party considered ithemselves gentlemen. They were well -dressed and respectably connected. In a small, well-furnished apartment, apart from the guest room, was found a pianoforte. “Hallo!” cried the leader, “who plays on this? Can you ?” “It is mine, sir,” answered the girl thus -addressed. “And you can play?" “Yes, sir.” “Can you sing?” “I sing sometimes, sir.” “Will you siug and play for us?" “With pleasure, sir." She opened the piano and sat down, and played and sang “The Maiden’s Prayer.” Her voice was clear, musical and sweetly rich, and the accompaniment was played with rare skill and grace. The little sis ters gathered in a semi circle close around the instrument, aud the heretofore riot ous men-but riotous no more—drew nearer and nearer, upon the outside. Some of them had never heard a piano before, and not one of them had ever heard sweet er music. After a pause, at the conclu sion of the piece, the leader spoke again but in a strangely subdued tone. “Will you sing for us another song?” And she played and sang that sweet song, “The Old House.” The men who had gone to search tor the ax, hearing the music, had left the woodpile and re-eutered the house. Other songs were sung, in several of which two of the younger sisters joined. The riotous spirits were all subdued, and half the party had wet cheeks. Their sympathies were aroused, their hearts opened and the best part of their natures brought to the surface; and when they had taxed the fair songstress so far that they felt ashamed to tax her more, they thanked her heartily and withdrew with as much decorum as might have been exhibited had they been retir ing before the throne of a monarch. A year after this event Mr. Tappan chanced to be in Jacksonville on business, where he was introduced to Philip at. Clair, a rising young lawyer of the place. “Is this the Mr. Tappan who, one year ago, kept a public house on the Cloud xlill road?” asked St. Clair. “The same, sir.” “And I, sir,” pursued the lawyer, “was the leader of that party of riotous men who so shamefully frightened your <l au S“‘ ters. I suppose they told you of the cir cumstance?” “Well, * Mr. Tappan, from that day I have not touched intoxicating drink, i would like to see your eldest daughter ana tell her of the blessing her sweet music bestowed upon me.” Mr. Tappan knew St. Clair well by repu tation, and cheerfully invited him to call whenever he could make it convenient. St. Clair once more visited the wayside Inn, the result of which was that in less than another year thesweetsongstress had become his wife. “Mv blessed angel,” he said, clasping her to his bosom when she was his own to cherish and protect, “never, never can l sufficiently thank Heaven for the proa i- deuce that led me within your saying in fluence in that dark hour of my life.

Before the marriage lie had been unusually attentive, oven for a lover, nnd f another gentleman spoko to me ho was jealous. When there was a lecture or concert anywhere he always took me. If I was invited to a party he was only too glad to attend me. But now “parties are a bore, he says; “he can’t think why wo- men wish to go to them.” Then he was all affection. Now he acts as if he would lower his dignity to show his love for me or my children, and if I oiler him a kiss or a caress he is almost certain to refuse me. 1 cannot complain that ho neglects his more obvious duties. He gives me plenty of money for dress, lives 'veil, and is even talking of buying a new house; But ho seems to think that a wife has no business with anything but housekeepiug.and never needs change of scene or other recreation. “What’s the use of a woman,” he says, ‘going about? Home is the pluce for her.” It may be so, but after.a hard day’s work I often feel as if a walk in the fresh air or a visit to a neighbor’s would be a real bless ing. I said to him the other evening when lie was going out again: “Won’t you stay at home, Harry, to oblige me? Just this once; I am so lonely?” “Lonely?” was liis answer. How can you he lonely with the children?” “But they are abed. And recollect, I see nobody, day in and day out. Can’t you do it to please me, for this once?” I could hardly speak; it was as much as I could do to keep the tears from coming, his conduct seemed so cruel. “The fact is,” he replied, “I’m dead beat with working all day, and must go out to get brightened up a little. You women never make allowances for a man.” And he went out quite crossly. Never make allowances! If the husband is worried with business, and I do not doubt it, is not a wife worried with house keeping? Are the servants and children and sickness no trouble ? Aud is a woman differently constituted from a man, so that the recreation which one considers indis pensable for himself is of no use to the other ?” “How your complexion has gone ?” said my husband to me the other day. “It seems to me that in this climate a woman is old at 30.” Again the tears came into my eyes. Harry did not mean to be unkind; ho was only thoughtless. But wiiy had I lost my complexion ? Can a woman live forever in rooms heated b.v hot air, never going out, except on some errand, and then hur rying home as soon as the errand is done, without losing her complexion? Is it the climate or her mode of life that makes her old before her time? It was on my tongue to say these things, but I have refrained. I have learned that “silence is golden.” “How I wish I had something to read,” I said yesterday. “I think if I had a new book now and then, the evenings when you are out, Harry, would not be so long.” “Books cost too much money in times like these,” answered my husband. “I should think your sewing would amuse you enough. To get bread for his family and lay by a little for a rainy day is as much as a prudent mau can do nowadays.” And as be spoke he lit bis cigar and went out. Will men ever understand women ? Will they ever see their own selfishness in its true light. These thoughts rose to my mind as I reflected with a sigh that a tithe of the money which Harry spent on cigars would buy all the uew books I wished." Yet Harry does not mean to be unkiud. He saw his mother treated as he treats me, and he thinks I have no right to complain. Perhaps I have not. But, O I how much happier I would be if things were differ ent. Are women only machines to sew, darn, sweep, dust, bake bread, take care of child ren and keep house? Have they no need of recreation ? No higher nature that is starved by a life like mine? There is no contention between Harry and me. But his love now is. it seems to me, a very different thing from what it seemed before marriage. Is my fate the fate of all? Is every wife like me when ten years married ? There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put to gether, aud until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment pronounced it incurable. Science has proven Catrrrh to be a consti tutional disease, and therefore requires a constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.. Toledo, Ohio., is the only constitutional cure now on the market. It is taken in ternally in doses from 10 trops to a tea spoonful. It acts directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.
