SV BED JHJNTLINK. “ Charles, will you do me a great favor ? ” It was Irene Grey who thus ad dressed her only brother, a fine, man ly-looking young man, whose dress and carriage told his position to be that of a gentleman, in the common acceptation of the .term. It was the day before the New Year holiday of 18?0. “ Yes, dear lister, if in my power. You know it is ever a joy to me to add to your pleasures when 1 can. What is it now ? v 'Do you wish me as an eecort to the theatre or a ball ? M “No, dear brother, it is this. Do not make any New Year’s calls to morrow.” i “Heavens, Irene! You astonish me. What possible harm is there in this dear old custom of visiting one’s lady frieads, and, wishing them a Happy New Year?” “ Charles, do you remember in what condition yob came, or rather how you were brought home last New Year’s day, and the long, terri ble sickness wfyioh followed ? ” •‘No, sister; nor the tender care which most likely aalld my life, for you were the watcher by my side. But sweet one, I signed the pledge at your request as soon as I got well. 1 have kept it ever since, tor I, as you, feel, that my character and my very life both depends on my total absti nence from alcoholio drink.” “Yes, Charles, you signed, and so far, with God’s help, have kept the pledge. But to-morrow will be a day of terrible temptation. Wine and hot punches will disgrace many a table where you would visit, fair lips will tempt you to taste, and— “ Stop one moment, dear Rene—do you think any lady will ask me to break my pledged word ? ” “ Charles—yon will iirid, even as I have found among our Acquaintances, those who will laugh at what they term the folly of abstinence, the fan* aticism of temperance. You will be pressed to take one here, or one there, and then, excited by a single drop, will become the tyrant, and you are lost! ” “Nonsense, darling sister! lam firm! I will make my usual calls and show them all that I am and will be a man 1 ” “ Charles, I tremble for the result. At least promise me not to go to the house of Mr. TinshopJ’ “ Why, sister—of aTI places not to neglect, that is the one. I don’t think much of old Tinshop, for he is a whisky bloat; but I love Flora and she loves me. We are as good as engaged now, and were I not to call on her, it would seem like a cruel insult.'’ “ Ah, Charles, you know as well as I that the table there will contain the deadly temptation, and that her fath er will laugh at your scruples, and that she, his pet and heiress, will have to coincide iu his views.” “ Yet for all that, my sister, I will, for in keeping it I know exists all my safety. If I break it, honor, char acter, all that make l.fe worth pos sessing, will go. Do not fear for ine. I love you, and I will not swerve from the path you opened out for me when I lay upon my sick-bed.” She said no more. She saw that argument was useless; she could but pray to her Heavenly Father to save the brother of her love from a drunk ard’s death. “ Ah, here comes a welcome visitor, Floe,” cried Mr. Tinshop, -when Charles Grey entered his parlors, early on that New- Year’s Day. “ Mr. Grey, I am glad to see you.” “Charles, you are very, very wel come ! ” was the warm, tender greet ing of Flora, as she clasped his ex tended hand in both of hers.” “ Dear Flora, I came to wish you a happy New Year, and I never saw you look so lo'velv as now! Oh, how beanliful you are! ” This was in a low tone, for Mr. Tinshop at that moment was busy at the table. He came to them a moment alter, with a silver salver in his hand. On if three glasses of sparkling wine stood but too visible. “ Here is to a hundred New Years, as bright as this!” cried Mr. Tinshop, as Flora took up one glass, and he another. “ Hardly can we expect a hundred, but I will say many,” said Flora with a smile. “\V T hy, Charlie, what is the matter? You do not touch your glass,” said Mr Tinshopi “ You’re not sick ?’’ “ No, sir, but I signed the* pledge about eleven months ago, and have kept it ever since.’’ “Pshaw! I did not dream that you were sueli a spoony. 1 believed you to be a young man of spirit and manly independence. As such I have re joiced to seq an apparent attachment springing up between you and Flora. But if you are one who can sign away your own rights and privileges and join in a fanatical crusade against the luxuries of life, I hope you will forget each other as soou as you can.” This was spoken In a tone and with an expression which brought from Flora a tearful look aud a word of remonstrance, “Oh ! papa, do not Ask .Me to for get him. He loves me.” , “Not enough to even drink yonr health on' a day like this, when all the world is rejoicing.” “Yes, he does;’ 1 and nbw Flora, With a look of unspeakable ten derness, whispered: “Dear Charlie,'humor him. He is so set. Just one glass for ray love. You know that you are more than liffe to me.” “Your love, Flora. Oh! I wDuld die for you.” And the young man, gassing into her eyes, no longer hesitated. He raised the glaHs, pledged her health, he wished her happiness. “Ah, that is cried Mr. Tinshop. “ I thought your manhood had not perished. Now you sttit me, 1 can’t endure these milk-sops who call themselves temperance men. Take another glass, Charlie, and the ’color will come to your cheeks and the fire to your eye. Fill our glasses once nware, Floe, while we are in the humor.” “Oh, Charlie, how kind it was in you 1” she said, as, with his seoond glass emptied, she stood by his side, whiic her father Went to ittTCtrft to the brewing of some puneb, “It was for your love l” lie mur mured. “And since you rejoice, Ido not regret it. Will yon excuse me now ? I shall make but a few calls, and then go home.” “Do not go home, Charlie, but re turn here to spend. the evening.” “ I will if you desire it, Flora.” He was gone, and Flora now had her hands full in receiving new visi tors. “ Papa, what has become of Charley Grey ? He has not been here since New Year’s morning, and he prom ised to come back that same even ing!” It was Flora Tinshop who asked this question, and it was the second week in January when she asked it.” “ I heard to day that he was very sick—-dangerously ill 1 ” said her fath er, unguardedly, for he did not know how deeply his daughter loved. “ Dangerous 1 ” she screamed. Dan gerous, and I not near him. Why father, dear father, take me to his house instantly. I shall die—l shall die too if he dies l ” Raving wildly, Flora hurried to dress for the street, and taking no denial, she forced her father to escort her to the residence of the widow Grey. Trembling from head to foot father and daughter stood upon the door steps, when they rung the bell at that house, for the hand that rang the bell touched the crape which de noted death within. The door was opened by Irene Grey. Her face was white with grief till she saw who was there, then a flush came upon it. She did not speak, but site opened the door for tlvem to enter, and she pointed to the parlor. They went in, father and daughter, and the next instant with a wild, soul barrowing shriek, Flora bent over the coffin which held all that was left of Charles Grey. The day before he had died ol de lirium tremens. Shriek after shriek broke from the lips of Flora, as the full conviction came to iter heart, and she cried out in the agony of her soul: • “lie loved me! He loved me!” “Yes—to his death!” said his sister sternly. Then turning to Mr. Tinshop, she said in a low, solemn tone: “ Murderer I Behold your victim I You.made him bteak his pledge, and there he lies. A widow’s curse is on your head! His mother is on her death-bed, heart broken. I, soon to be an orphan, uud now brotherless, through you, add niy curse to Lets. Take your child and—l ” William Tinshop could not take his child alone from that room, felie was a raving maniac amt it took strong men to tear her from the coffin of the loved* and lost. She now raves itl hti asylum for the insane, and her cries and curses fall all the time upon the tell spirit, nun. A Drover and his Child. jg -1 TOUCHING STORY. My bame is Anthony Hunt, lam a droVbr, and J live miles ari* miles away, out on tljc Western prairie.” Oue day, about ten years ago, I went away from home to sell some fifty herd of cattle—fine Srikttftefe ftA I ever saw. I was to buy some gro ceries and dry goods before I went back, and, above all, a doll for oifr youngest Dolly. She had never had a store doll of her own—only therag baby her mother had made her. 4 Dolly cottld talk of nothing £ls<s, and wtnt down to the very gate to call after me to “buy a big one.” Nobody but a parent could under stand how full Inf mind was of that toy, and .how, when the cattle Wife sold, the first thing I hurried off to buy was Dolly’s doll. I found a large one, noth eyek open and shut when you pulled a wire, and had it wrapped in paper, and tucked it under my arm while I had tHi par cels of calico aud delainfe and sugar aiid tea put up. Then, late as it was, I started for home. It might have been more prndont to stay till morn ing, but I felt anxious to get back, and eager to hear liolly’s prattle ,abputjier toy. I was mounted on a steady-going old horse of mine; and pretty well loaded. Night set yi before I was a mile from town, and settled dark as pitch whi& I was in the middle of the darkest bit of road I know of. I could have felt my way through, I knew it so vyell, and I was doiug so, almost, when the storm that had been brewing broke, and pelted the rain in torrents, while I was five or Bix miles from hrime. I rode as fast as I could, but all of a sudden I heard a little cry from a child’s voice. I stopped short- and listened. I heard it again. I called, and it answered. I couldn’t see a thing—all was dark as pitch. I,got down and felt about the grass—called again, and again was answered. Then I began to wonder. I’m not timid, but I was known to be a drover, and to have money about mo. It might be a trap to catch me unawares, and rob and murder me. I’m not superstitious—not very. But how could a real child be out ou the prairie in such a night, and at such an hour 2 It might be more than human. The bit of a coward that hides it self to most men appeared to me then, and I was half inclined to run away, but once more' I heard that cry, and said I: “If any man’s child is hereabout, Anthony Hunt is not the man to let it die.” I searched again. At last I be thought me of a hollow under the hill, and groping that way, sure enough, I found a little dripping tiling, that moaned and sobbed as I took it in my arms. I called my horse, and the beast came to roe. I mounted, and tucked the little thing under my coat as well as I could, promising to take it home to mammy. It seemed tired to death, and pretty soon cribd itself to sleep against my bosom. It had slept there over an hour when I saw my own windows. There were lights in them, and I supposed my w ife had lit them for my sake; but when I got into the door-yard, I saw something was the matter, and stood still, with a dead fear at heart, five minutes before I could lift the latch. At last I did it, and saw my room full of neighbors, and my wife in the midst of them, weeping. When she saw me, she hid her face. “ Oh! don’t tell him,” she said; “it will kill him I ” “ What is it, neighbors?” I cried. And one said: “ Nothing now, I hope—what is that in your arms?” “ A poor, lost child,” said I. “ I found it on the road.” I then lifted up the sleeping tiling, and' saw the face of my own child— my little Dolly. It was my darling, and none other, thatl had picked up on the drenched road. My little child had wandered out to fneet “ daddy ” and the doll wliile het motherwas at work, and they were there lamenting her as one dead* I thanked Heaven on my knees be-’ fore them all. It is not much of a story, neigh bors, but I -think of it often is the nights, and woitder how I coulMaear to live now, if I had not stopped when I heard the cry for help upon the road—the little baby cry, hardly louder than a “squirrel's chirp.” |U>O A YEAR.
