Tiie Fate of a Drunkard. BY DICKENS. When the dim and misty light of a win ter’s morning penetrated into the narrow court, and struggled through the begrimed window of the wretched room, Warden’awoke from his heavy sleep and found himself a- lone. He rose and looked around him ; the old flock mattress on the floor was undis turbed ;'every thing was just as he remem bered to have seen it last, and there was no sign of any one, save himself, having occu pied the room during the night. He had en quired cf the other lodgers and of the neigh bors ; blit his daughter had not been seen or heard of. He rambled through the streets, and scrutinized each wretched face, among the crowds that thronged them, with anx ious eyes. But his search was fruitless, and he returned to the garret when night came on, desolate and weary. For many days he occupied himself in- the same manner, but no traces of his daughter did he meet with. At last he gave up the pursuit as hopeless, and long thought of the probability of her leaving him, and endeav oring to gain her bread in quiet elsewhere. She had left him at last to starve alone.— He ground his teeth and cursed her! He begged his bred from door to door.— Every half penny he could wring frdtn the pity or credulity of those to whom he ad dressed himself t, was spent in the old way. A year passed over his head; the roof of a jail was the only one that had sheltered him for many months. He slept under arches and in brick fields—anywhere where there was some warmth or shelter from the cold and rain. But in the last stage of poverty, disease, and houseless want, he was a drunk ard still. At last, one bitter night, he sunk down on a door step, faint and ill. The premature decay of vice and profligacy had worn -him to the bene. His cheeks were hollow and livid; bis eyes were sunken, and their sight Was dim. His legs trembled beneath his weight, and a cold shiTer ran through every limb. And now the long forgotten scenes of a misspent life, crowded thick and fast upon him’ He thoughrof the time he bad a home, a happy, cheerful home—and of those who peopled it, and flocked about him then, un til the forms of his elder children seemed to rise up from the grave and stand before him —so plain, so clear, and so distinct they were, that he could touch and feel them.— Looks that he had long forgotten, were fixed upon him ouee more; voices long since hush ed in death, sounded in his ear like music of village bells. But it was only for an in stant. The rain beat heat.ly upon him; and cold and hunger were gnawing at his heart again. He rose and dragged his feeble limbs a few paces further. The street was silent and empty—the few passers by at that late hour, hurried quickly on, end his tranu- lotis voice was lost in the violence of the storm. The heavy chill again ■««* throegh ha frame, audios blood serowd tB stagnate lira rath it. He coiled himself *P i> a fro- jesting doorway and tried to sleep. » But sleep had fled from hi* dull and glss- edeyce. IBs saind wandered strangely, hut he was awake and conscious. The wel l- kfcuwh about cf drunken mirth sounded in lishing bans, nf fqr all.

The tide was inland the Water flowed at his l'eet-.

He retreated a few paces, took a short run, a desperate leap, and plunged in to the river. Not five seconds had passed when he rose to the surface, but what a change had taken place in that short time in all hiS thoughts uiul feelings! Lite, life in any form; pov erty, misery, starvation, anything but death. He fought and struggled with the water that closed over his head, and screamed in ago nies of terror. The curse of li;s own "son rang in his ears. The-shore—but one foot of dry ground—he could almost touch the step. One hand's breadth nearer, and he was save-i; bat the tide bore him onward, under the dark arches of the bridge, and lie sank to the bottom.. Again lie rcse, and struggled for life. For one instant, for one brief instant, the build ings on the river's bank, the lights on the it .s m.duiglit.

What human ear is a safe receptacle for such fireside treachery: And Inis is the lady Emmas happiness ! Ua, dry those envious tears, sweet Lily! a few minutes, just to give her a chaqce, put on my hat and walked out of doors. I stopped in the yard, to give her. time to call me, but never a word said she; and so with a palpitating heart 1 moved ofi. I went dtfwn town, and all over town, and my foot was os restless as that of Noah’s dove- I felt as if 1 had dohe a wrong, I didn’t exactly feel how, but there was an indescribable sensation of guilt -resting off me all the forenoon. It seemed as if dinner, time never would come, and as for going Home one minute before dinner, I would sooner have cut my ears off. So I wefit fretting and moping around town until din ner hour came. Home 1 went, feeling very much as a criminal must when the jury is out', having in their hands his destiny for life or death. I couldn’t make up my mind exactly how she would meet me, but some kind of a storm I expected. «i Will you believe it! she never greeted me with a sweeter smile, never had a better dinner for me than on that day; but there stood the churn, just where I left it! Not a word was said; 1 felt confoundedly cut, and" every mouthful of that dinner seemed as if it would choke me She didn't pay any re gard to it, however, but went on jist os if nothing had happened. Before dinnerwasover 1 had again resolved, and shoving back my chair, 1 marched to the churn and went at it in the oid way. Splash, begun the butter paddle, splash, splash; but as if in spite, the butter never was so long, in c omming! 1 supposed the cream standing so long, had. got warm, and' so 1 redoubled my effort*. Obstinate matter—the afternoon wore aWay while 1 was churning. 1 paused at last, from real exhaustion, when she spoke fpr the first time:—< Come, Tom, my dear, you have rattled that buttermilk quite long enough, if it's only for fun you are doing it! 1 knew, how it was in a flash; she ’ had brought the butter in the forenoon, and left the churn standing with the buttermilk id it, for me to exercise with.
