it to her lips. -But scarcely had she
none so when every one was attracted
by her piercing exclamation of “Oh,
how terrible!”
“Wha$ is it?” cried' one-'and all
thronging together, for she had carried
the glass to her arm’s length and. was j
fixedly regarding it as though it was
some hideous object.
“’What?” she answered, while an-in
spired light shone from, her eyes;
“wait, and I will tell you. . T see,’’she
added, slowly raising one of her jew
eled fingers at the sparkling liquid v “a
sight that beggars all description; and
yet, listen—J wfll paint- it for yon, If I
can; it is a lovely spot: tall mountains,
crowded with verdure, rise in awful
sublimity around, a river runs through,
and. bright flowers grow to the water’s
edge. There is a thick, warm mist,
that the sun seeks vainly to pierce.—
Trees, lofty and beautiful, wave to the
motion of the breeze. But there a
group- of Indians gather and flit to
and fro with something like sorrow
upon thefr dark brows, and in their
midst lies a manly form—-but his dark
cheek, how deathly—his eyes wild with
the fitful fire-of fever. One friend
stands beside. I should say kneels, for
see, he is pillowing that poor head
upon his breast. Genius in rains on
the high, holy-l'oolring brow—why
should death mark it, 'andbe so young!
Look how he throws back the damp,
curls! See him'clasp his hand, hear
his shrieks for life; how he clutches at
the form .of his companion, imploring
to be saved! Qb, hear rum call pite
ously his father’s name; see him twine
his fingers together, as he shrieks for
his sister—his only sister, twin of his
soul—weeping for him in his distant
native land! See” she exclaimed,
while the bridal party shrank back,
the untested wine trembling in their,
grasp, a nd tne deacon fell overpowered
into his seat—“see, his arms are lifted
to heaven; he prays, how wildly for
mercy. But fever rashes through his
veins. The friend beside him is weep
ing. Awe-stricken, the dark men move
silently away, and leave the living and
the dying together.”
There was a hush in that princely
parlor; broken only by what seemed a
a sob from some manly bosom. The
bride stood yet upright, with quiver
ing lips, and tears streaming into the
outward edge of her lashes. Her beau
tiful arm had lost its extension, and
the glass, with its little troubled waves,
came slowly towards the range of her
vision. She spoke again; every lip
was mute; her voice was low, faint, yCt
awfully distinct. She still fixed her
sorrowful glance npon the wine cup.
“It is evening now, the great white
moon is coining np, and her beams fall
gently on his forehead. He moves
not; his eyes are out of their sockets;
dim are the piercing glances. In vain
his friends whispers the name of father
■and sister; no soft hand and no gentle
voice bless and soothe him. His head
sinks back; one convulsive shudder—
he is dead.”
A groan ran through the assembly..
'So'vivid was her description, bo on-
errthly her look, so inspired her man
ner, 'that what she described seemed
actually to have taken place then and
there. They noticed also, that the.
bridegroom had' hidden his face and
was weeping.

quivering faster, and her

NIJTS, CANNED OYSTERS AND
In 1851 there lived in a small town
in the State of New York the deacon
of a certain Christian church, who was
noted for his liberal qualities, who was
in the habit of giving large wine sup
pers among bis brotherhood of the
church, and as a general thing, the
guests would return home rather more
than slightly inebriated; or rather more
intoxicated than they would have been
if they bod staid at borne and enjoyed
the pleasure of their own families, and.
saved themselves the trouble of carry
ing the big head upon their own shoul
ders on the following day, as was the
case. The-scene which’ I wish to rep
resent was one of a similar, kind.
Upon a Christmas day of ’51—it was
the marriage of the only daughter of
the deacon—it Was a night of joy and
glee. After the marriage had been
performed the bottles of wine were
brought forth; all present filled their
goblets full of the poisonous nectar,
except one, 'who stood- like a marble
statue. It was the bride; white the
words were spoken from one of the
crowd, “Pledge with wine.” “Pledge
with wine,” cried the young and
thbugfaftess -HarYy Wood; “Pledge
with wine,” ran through the crowd.
The beautiful bride, grew pale; the
decisive hour bad,come. She pressed'
her white hands together, and' the
leaves of ha- bridal wreath trembled
on her pure brow; her ..breath came
quicker, and her heart beat wilder.—
“Yes, Marion, lay- aside yonr scruples
for this once,” said the deacon, in a
low tone, going toward his daughter;
“the company expect it; do not so in
fringe upon the rales of etiquette; in
your o\ra home act as you please, bnt
in mine, for this once, -please me.”
Every eye was turned toward the
bride, for Marion’s principles were
well known. Henry had been a con-
vryialist, bat of late his friends had
noticed the change in his manners—
the. difference of bis habits—and to
night they watched to see, as they
sneeringly said, if he was tied down
to a woman's opinion so soon.
Pouring a -brimming goblet, they
held it with tempting smiles toward
Marion. She was very pale, though
more .composed, and her hand shook
hot; ss smiling back, she gracefully
accepted the crystal temper, and raised
voice more
broken—“and there they seoop him a
grove; and there, withont a shroud,
they lay him down in:the damp, reek-
ing earth—the only son of a' proud fit
ther, the idolized brother of a fond
sister; and he sleeps to-day in that dis
tant country, with no '"stone to mark
the spot. There he lies—my father’s
son, my own twin brother, a victim of
this: deadly poison! Father,”- die ex
claimed, turning suddenly, while the
tears rolled down her beautiful cheeks
—“father, shall I drink the poison
now?”
The form of the old deacon was
convulsed with agony. He raised not
his head, but in a smothered voice he ,
faltered, “No, no, my child, in God’s
name, no!” .
She lifted the glittering goblet, and :
letting it fall suddenly to the floor, it ;
was dashed to pieces. Many a tearful
eye watched her movement, and in
stantaneously every glass was transfer- \
red to the marble table on which it i
had been prepared. Then, as ahe
looked at the fragments of crystal, sue '
turned to the company, saying: •
“Let .no friend hereafter who loves-
me, tempt me to peril my soul for -
wine, or any other, poisonons; venom. '

Wesi/ex was the only revival preacher
we ever heard of that had the moral

rections to- his preachers on this mat
ter are models of plain' speaking. So.
often did he repeat his favorite saying,
and to snch good purpose, that among
his people cleanliness became not only
a household word, but a household
virtue; and to this day- many Wesley-
ans regard the words that head onr
