She stooped and trod with tottcri* feet:

I lie voice was harsh, that ona was

Her hands were wrinkled, and her ( ;r,
Robbed of the girlish joy,
Were dim ; I felt a sad surprise .

My heart grew young am! seemed te wear

I took her withered hand in mine,
§ ‘its touch recalled a gnost of joy ;
1 kissed it with a reverent sigh,
For I had loved her when a boy.
A FORTUNATE JET.
A certain voting man, 1; Jng
not a thousand miles from the
city of London, had at the at of
one-and-twen*y, come in po es
sion of a large fortune.
Immediately thereupon the
fair weather friends asseni led
about him, and sought to t tke
him believe that they could Alike
hie pleasant for him. lie Las
fond of company ; full of le ;
with no restraint save I)is Iwn
conscience ; end he was eJilv
led on into the.glare of conviial
enjoyment.
llis mother had died when he
was ay oh fit of sixteen, dud us
father had lived but a veal - lo g
er. And he had no near rela ve
to counsel or to guide him.
Once lie had loved a beautl't)
young girl ; but his dissipate)
OO.UVS-V had* J>:ghtei:eti h#r i
rents, and they had forbiddln
him their house until lie cot a
truly mend. This had so ang •
ed him that he had, torn the i
- out from i.is heart, resoivi ;
that lie would never $e a slay !
And he was living a brilliui,
glorious life, he Knew—or, l
least, lie told himself, so. 1;
drank deeper; and, anou,
came lo the gaming table. *1
snort, every vice that a wealtjj
spendthrift might find fleeliff
pleasure in . he indulged in.
Anil the circle of friends chin
closely. They swore by him ;d<
dared him a trump. They dian
his wine, aid robbed him of h
money ; and if anew source i
pleasure could be found, the
all went in lor the enjoy ulen
and lie paid the bill.
Ohe day, after his eye had be
come bleared and his step uuoer
tain, he met the girl he had one*
loved in the street. lie rear
pity in her sweet face, and saw
tears in her eyes; and he triec
to sleel his heart; yet he thought
of her until his wild friend's were
again around him.
One day lie went to the bank
and-drew out a thousand pounds.
That night he sat down in his
own apartments, with his own
wine upon the sideboard, and his
own cards upon the table, and
p ayed with his deaf lriends!
The wine flowed freely, lie drank
deeply and the game went on
recklessly. They played for
high stakes and played fast and
late.
On the following morning the
young man awoke with a burst
ing head and aching eyes. By
and by he called to mind the
events of the night. He looked
into his pocket-book and into his
purse. Empty, both! And lie
remembered that he had given
his checks to various members of
the party for large amounts. He
lound the counterfoils, and they
told him lie had drawn his checks
to the amount of over two thous
and !
But what of that? Before night
he had drunk brandy enough to
steady ids nerves, and make him !
once more happy.
Another evening i-anie, and
I , , i ! . .1, . |
round his board, lie had got up
a grand slipper tor this lime!
And alter the various courses
has passed in order, came the
wine and toasts.
And one of the friends, to
whom a large check had been
given, got up to offer a sontimen!.
‘Fillup' fiii up!” he cried;
‘•while I give you the toast of the
evenin':. Here’s to our sobei
and thrifty host ! May lie ever
lie as sensible as he is at tins mo
meal !’*
it was drunk with ciieer—three
times three.
T. was observed that from that
moment the spirits of their host
seemed to fail hitii. lie became
moody and abstracted, by aim
by someone haulered him tipori
ill and asked him wind, was the
matter, i
He answered i
“I was thinking, did Tom tell
the trtllh when he srfid 1 was Sober
and thrifty?”
And thereupon they all ex
claimed :
“Of course lie did ! Oh! was
ever a man soberer, or more
tit fifty ?”
“Because,” pursued the host)
pathetically, “I shouldn’t want, a
friend to lie on my account !”
“Oho! Sensible lo the last!
Fill up !”
But the host would drink no
more, lie bade the others enjoy
Uieih'Seives as much; and as long,
as they pleased ; blit they ffiust
excuse him.
Without him, the
sport lagged ; and wheii they
4mfod there was- to be ftri card'
playing tliev soon dispersed.
And alter they were gone, the
young man. sat down alone, and
thought • and the wdrds, “Sober
and thiilty!” "Sober and thrif
ty !” rang in his ears, and he re
pealed then! aloud.
And then lie repeated :
“May he lie ever as sensible as
lie is at this moment ! 1 And lljen,
with a smiling of his clinched
hand upon lus bosom, lie exclaim
ed, “Tom did not, lie ! .1 will hot
let Tom lie !”
On the following day the youth
went to the bank,'and was closet
ed far half an hour with the man
ager.
On the morning of ilie next day
a paragraph appeared in the so
ciety papeis, announcing :
‘*YVe are pained to announce
that F—* —B-—,"the young man
who was the inheritor of a fort
une little more than a year ago,
lias lost every penny. Misfortune
lias befallen Him ; false friends
Have betrayed him ; so now his
bill for less than a hundred
pounds has gone lo protest.”
On the next day after this the
young man (we will call him
E ’red) went to Tolii‘ A’mberly, to
.Horn he had given hundreds and
liousands, and asked Idm lor a
oan of a hundred pounds.

lad it; but, really ’’
The youth waited lo hear no
nore. He tried half a dozen
fibers, and with the.same result;
ave that one man, who had won
wo thousand pounds from him
lit one sitting, offered to give him
ive pounds; but he wouldn’t
end him !
Then Fred went to his room,
nd sold off his furniture, and
uVe them up: aril) from that
hue was lost to sight for several
mil ths.
jfl was getting towards Christ
as limes that a society paper
' ime out on a certain morning
pli a paragraph which, to a cer
t in set, was startling :
*We a e happy lo slate that a
il mistake was made a few
i mths airo in the announcement
ii tile entire loss of Mr. F !
I’s fortune, lie had at)
l it time been very unfortunate,
I, through softie strange mi-
lake, a bill of his went to protest; 1
but lie is all right now, The j
manager or the bank where Ins j
account is kept informs us that j
lie will honor the young man’s j
check for a hundred thousand 1
pounds with pleasure. All is *
welt that ends well.”
Willi in four-.ind-twenty hours
of that lime Fred was in receipt
of a dozen gushing nofes, from as
j many different individuals, offer
ing him any lieip in their power
to give, and begging him to re
member the old friendship.
Only one of them did lie an
swer. that, was the note from
Tom Am belly :
“Ho you remember, Tom, llial
you once offered and I oast, ju my
Looms in honor of myself? And
you called the your ‘‘sober and
thrifty host. ’ And I resolved in
my heart of hearts from that, mo
ment that you had not lied.”
And when the Christmas bells
were ringing Fred led the deal
girl of his old-t.iriie love to the
altar, and took her hand m wed
lock, promising that the night
had passed and l fie morning had
dawned upon anew and better
life.
