CHAPTER IV.— Continued. After the Prince In.l made what, im provetuent he could of his recent victory, he then, it) a very formal manner, return ed hi. hearty thanks to his officers and soldiers, for the prompt and efficient aid they had rendered him in his enter prise. Those who had afforded him special aid, received special commenda tion. for Alcohol was truly a diseerner of merit in his way. He informed his troops that they must expect to fight many more battles; that though Reason, f'onseienee. and their friends seemed to be routed, many of them, after a little, would re vive and he sure to create future disturb ances, and that they must hull them selves in readines to attack them at all times, and in all places, until they should eitherbe slain or Iriven out of the world. The Prince sent his thanks also to the Captains of the garrisons, urged them to redoubled efforts, and enjoined it upon them, with an emphasis peculiar to him self, to live Reason, Conscience. Public Good, and all their abettors and allies no quarters. “ They are wicked, mis 'liiev ous men,” snid he: “he valiant, brave coadjutors, and we shall obtain over them a most signal, complete and honorable victory.” I was much dis'ressed at the sight of these things, and wet my couch with tears. A messenger stood by me. “Friend,” said he, “1 have seen your distress, and have come to comfort you. Follow me to yonder hill, and I will show you a pleasant sight.” I followed. Aftet ascending the eminence my guide directed my eyes towards a plain where 1 beheld a delightful encampment. There was the Touch Not Regiment, of which I had heard something, but was anxious to hear more. It. was compcsod of tw > attalions, each of which was beautiful, and paest nted a for idahlo appearance, causing Alcohol and his army to tremble. The first ba'tahon was styled The Cold Water Templars. It was made up of re emits from the boys and girls, who were banded together for self protection in their youthful days, and riper years, and to train themselves to wage a more suc cessful warfare upon the doings of Prince Alcohol. It was a most beautiful sight, to see so many of those boys and girls in the innocency of youth thus engaged in the great work to be accomplished Thousands upon thousands had arranged themselves for the conflict, and presented a determination worthy the cause they had espoused. Alcohol affected a laugh of derision at this battalion, but he evi dently trembled when he saw so many th usands enlisting under its banner, and being trained in early y nth, to ripen with their years, and ultimately to re inforce the more vigorous, experienced and harder lighting battalion. And with a deep drawn sigli he hid his face in his hands as he heard their sweet and youth ful voices, as the sound of many waters peeling out an ode to the sparkling water: Sparkling and I right n its liquid tight, In tin* water in our j^lrhhoh; ’Twill jjive you health, ’twill give you wealth. Ye lads and rosy laSßea. O! then renigi your ruby wine, E i h Kiniliiitf eon and daughter; There’s nothing m> good for the youthful blood Nor sweet as the sparkling water. The next battalion was composed of men and women, ranged under different names from the Washingtonians of <arly date, down to the late Order, known .-is tho Independent Order of Goo. 1 .ctitp lars, handed together u-ider an ohliijatinn life lon y in its duration, not only to ab stain from drinking as a beverage any thing that can intoxicate, but also to de sist from trafficking in any way in the article, reclaim the fallen—in a word, to exert their entire influence Lv pre ept and example to diminish the ranks of Prince Alcohol, and ultimately drive in temperance from the land. This was a vast and mighty army, daily increasing, numbering its members by hundreds of thousands in the New and Old World, and marching in signal tri umph with victory or death emblazoned in golden letters upon their escutcheon. This Standard pleased me much. On o e side was beautifully wrought, in needle work, a pitcher of water. On the other side was a dwarfish representation of Alcohol snugly eorked up in a bottle, and standing upon an apothecary's shelf. “Safjty and a good conscience,” was tho motto. Saif denial was standard-bearer. Total Abstinance commanded. They were encamped in the plains of Security. Order arranged the ranks. Prosperity, Peace, Cheerfulness aud Solid Joy bless ed them with their presence. The large families of Sobriety and Virtue held commissions iri toe army; and Health, a blooming nymph, brought them water from a mountain spring. Hospitality was there, and Humanity and True Friendship were there; and there 1 saw a Good Samaritan dressing tho wounds of Public Good, who had been carried thither faint and bloody, from the field of battle, free Wisdom was stationed on a delightful eminence near the en campment, and through a golden trum f et called upon tho notions to enlist un der the banner of Total Abstinence. “And are there any,” said I to my guide, “are there any who can refuse to obey the summons of True Wislom?” “None," teplie l he. “but those who are led astray by Ineon-tideratiott, or who listen to the voice of Appetite, or yield to tyranny of Fashion.” As I gazed at the encamp ment I was filled with rapture, and could hut exclaim: ‘ How good y are thq Pouch-not tents, and thy tabernacles, O Abstits anoc!” My guide now disappeared, and I again saw a sight, which made me -veep. Alco hol appeared, and took his station with some of his army, upon a distant eleva tion which ro e pleas in ly from Temp tation plains The silken banner was unfurled to the wind and tna e a bright and fascinating display. Vlcohol did not meditate a violent attack up >n th ' T mch not entrenchments, for he very well knew that ho could not secure any advantage over the Cold water troops, unless ho could first entice them from the standard of Self denial, and seduce them along into the regions of Indulgence, where waved the silken banner lie now re sorts to craft, He fills the air with the fascinating savor of his breath, which had been nerfnmed wiih the frankincense of the pit. He beckons the soldiers of Total Abstinance towards him with the most inviting gestures; his countenance appears like the face of an angel of light, and with sweet, mellow, hen t inciting tones did he entreat them again an! again to flock to the silken L inner and li happy. Many of his < ddiers repeated the exhortations of their leader Fareuts who were standing in his ranks spake of their Prince in terms of warmest praise, and invited their children to come forth from the tents of Abstinance, and ioi.i them in the Temperate battalion. Min isters came forward, and if they said nothing, their conduct and example seemed to say “Come, ye people of our charge, who delight so much in that, mountain spring, come go with us, and we will do you good.” The noble of earth came forward in pomp, and invited their inferiors up to an honorable equa lly with their noble s-Ives. Friends en tieed friends; neighbors enticed neigh hors; saints enticed saints, and even in viteil the ungodly to the snare. I'liose arts succeeded with thousands; they fled from the standard of Self-denial, took the road of danger, hurried into the re gion of Indulgcn-e, and tanged them selves under the s.lken banner. Then l considered in my dream that art is sometimes more dangerous than tore ; that the good, the wise, and the virtuous may unconsciously aid the c-iu-c of deception; ho the means of seducing those whom th<*y most ten lerl.v love, from the e-trenelnrents of Security, and helping them on to destruction. I groane 1 in my sleep; and here the chap ter ends. [continued in otin NEXT.] A Wild Man in Nebraska. The Fremont (NeL.) Tribune contains an article giving the details ot the dis oovory of a W'ld man in that vicinity. Two young men were out hunting water fowls, when they came upon tlie strange being. He was just emerging Irom a clump ot trees and underbrn h when they caught a glimpse ofltim. II is dress was iu a most primitive style, consisting of a woolen shirt, lie had a sti kin his hand which lie swung around his head as if atrikitig at something he saw in the air, aud uttering the while a sh ,rp. mi - earthly noise. Like a wild animal, he was constantly on a sharp lookout, ner vously looking this way and that, as his ear detected the least unusual noise, or his eye noticed the shaking of a reed, or anything that was the least, ex'raordi nary. After a few moments ho squatted on liis haunches under a tree aud l>-gan to dig in the ground with his hands mid the slick, occasionally carrying some thing to his mouth, winch he seemed to |,e eating. The boys became more inter ested iu tho strange being than in the object of their hunt, and crawled oau tiously toward him until ne ir enough to satisfy their curiosity. He was digging roots aud feeding upon them. As nearly as they could judge from appearance he was about f irty or forty-five years of age, of strong and iio-y frame; liis hair was so long as to tall in snarls over hi- bronzed and duty shoulders; hi- heard, like his hair, long and shaggy, and his entire body covered with a growth of hair which could not have been less than an inch tong. His complexion must have been originally iGlit,. as his hair was of a lightish brown- After viewing him a short time they concluded to retreat. After going a few steps the monster sprang up and started instantly at them, lleeomitig frightened, he sprariz into the P.atte river, crossed over to Little Island, and disappeated in its thick uuilerbrush. A Wedding Toua in Texas. —The Waco (l’exas) Examiner relates that a young married couple came down from Comanche county on horseback, recently, and spent the day in Waco. Hand in hand they walked the streets for hout'3, she nibbling daintily at. a stick of candy, and he hungrily at half a pound of gin gerbread. When there was nothing in the show windows to admire she gazed fondly up into his eyes, some four teet above her, and he lovingly down into hers. A ride on the street cars ended this day in the city, and, remouuting their horses, a quick ride took them home from as happy a bridal tour us ever mor tals made. “Master at home?" “No, sir, lie’s out.” “Mistress home?” "No, sir, she’s out.” “Then I'll step in and sit by the fire.” “That’s out too, sir.” Matrimonial Advice. Marry m your own religion. Never both le angry at once. Never taunt w th a past mistake. : Let a kiss he the prelude of a rebuke. Never allow a request to be repeated. Lot self-abnegation be the babitof both. A good wife is the greatest eartli'y blessing. “I lot-got.,” is never an acceptable ex cuse. If yju must criticise, let it be done lovingly. Make a marriage a matter of motal judgment. Marry into a family which you have long kir-wn. Never make a remark at the expense of the other. Never talk at one another, cither alone or iu company. tiive your warmest sympathies for each othet s trials. If one is angry, let the other part the lips only for a kiss. Neglect the whole world beside, rather than one another. Never speik loud to oak atiotli r un less the house is on lire. Let cacti strive to yield oftoner to the wishes of t,ho other. Always leave home with loving words, ior they may he the last. Many into different blood and temper ament, Iroui your own. Never deceive, for the heart, once misled, can never wholly again. It is the moulds the char acter and fixes tile destiny of the child. Never find fault unless it is perfectly certain a lault has been committed. Do not herald the sacrifices you make to each other’s tastes, huLits, or prefer ences. Let all your mutual accommodations be spontaneous, whole-souled, and free as air- The very felicity is in the mutual cul tivatiou of usefulness. Consult one another in all that comes within the experience, observation, or sphere ot the u iier. A hesitating or grunt yielding to the wishes of the other always grates upon a loving heart. They who marry for traits of mind and heart will seldom tail of perennial springs of domestic enjoyment. Never relleot on a past action which was done with a good motive, and with l lie best judgment at tiie time. The beautiful in heart is a million times of more avail, as securing domes tic happiness, than tile heautilul in per son. They who marry for phy ieal cbar.to j (eristics or < xrortial consideration.! will fail of happiness. — < k- — An Object in Life.—The mischief resulting from idlene-s: is proverbial.

Were its energy transferred to laudable objects, what success there would be in tiie worldl I’iiLlic rppr.val, joined to an eager desire, couiu not help doing wonders even more marvelous than the ingenuity of vice now accomplishes. The importance will thus be seen of giving direction to tiie mind. There must Le an object to ensnare stability and enlist attention. In such case, whatever may happen to discourage, one has this thing, the familiar object of his life, to turn to sustain him, to keep him from ennui ami despair on tire one hand, and the dangerx ot a free and unsettled life on the other. His calling will hold him to his course, let him but bo attached to it- God’s Alarm Clock.— Now, consci ence is God’s alarm clock.

A Btidegroom’s Narroxr Fscat)' > . A good story Is told of a Hartford in surance man, who soma years ago, soon alter his marriage, went to a country town in Maine with another adju-ter to settle a loss. Arriving at the tavern at a late hour in the nigh ~ they were given a room with a forty pound feather bed therein, which, from its temperature, had evidently been under the influence of some human -vanning pan; in tact, as it appeared, the room ha,l been occupied up to the midnight arrival of the adjust- NUMBER 49. ers by the landlord's daughter, who in her hurried departure to make room fo • these distinguished arrivals, left _ her chemise hanging upon the bed post. The newly married Hartford underwriter, ia unpacking his valise, after his return home, to the presence of his affectionate bride, turned out, ami.ng its other con tents, to the astonishe 1 eyes of himself and bride, the aforesaid chemise, which had been carefully packed away by his diabolical companion. It. is gratifying to be able to record that as the honeymoon was yet young, this explanation, with all its lameness, was accepted, nod the scalp of the groom was saved for future use. He Knew Him. —A Hartford (Conn.) paper says: A police inspector being in formed that a restaurateur in his baili wick was serving game out of season, visits the restaurant in mufti, and orders dinner. “Waiter," says he, “can you give ms a salmi of partridge?” “tiertimily, sir,” replies the waiter, promptly, and yelks to the cook, “Par tridge for i ne. ” The inspector finishes his dinner leis urely, and then says to the waiter: “Aik the boss to step this way a minute.” “What for?” “1 wish to notify hitu to appear in court to-morrow, aud answer for selling partridge out of season." "Oh, I gu-s it ain't worth while both ering him shone that.” “Do as I tel! you. I am the police inspector, and have secured the neeos sary evidence against him.” “Oh, l spotted you, and guessed what you were after. It wasn't partridge you had.” Police Inspector (uneasily)—“ What waa it then?” Waiter (cheorfu.l) —“Crow ” 'llamas and Jane sat on a hotel bal cony lor three long hours, and giving tlieniseives away as being out-of towners. As they vat there Thomas took one of June’s hands. She allowed that to go on without a word of protest, and tho flixen haired youth finally seized the other one, and thus they sat and sigh off while the hours slipped away. Finally she said: "Tommy, dearest, I wt,nt to ask you something.” "A k me a hundre'l—a thousand—a million things! ’ b r , exclaimed in reply. “Well, Touiu’y, i've got an awful cold in my head,” sLc continued; “and if l drew one ol n-.y hand- away and wipe-*, my nose, would you think I w-.s mad? I’ve cither got to do that, Tommy, or let ny nose wipe itself. Just one wipe; tommy, and then youtnav have it hack.” Tommy released her hand, though he hated to, and h- r nose was softly aud duly wiped. Queer Marriage Ceremony.—Not Very long ago, say# an exchange, J. A. f and e.-oti, K-q., married a couple in the Court House in Marietta, Ga.. using the the following ritual: “Sheriff, join their right hands.” 4 “Sir, will you have the beloved woman you hold bv tire rigut hand, in the nHo ol the State of Georgia, Cobb county, end the New (Jons'.ituiion, wiiethor it is is rdopted or not, tu tie your lawful wed ded wife?” '‘l wilt.” “JLidai’j, will you take this man to bo your lav. fal hu.-L-nul, under tho Consti tution of the United Stales, and the Consbitiition of the State of Georgia, no matter who is President?” ‘I will.” “Now, in tho name of the Father, Son and Holy Gl.ost, and under the Consti tution aforesaid, l pronounce you man wife Amen,” - t Diphtheria.—For this terrible dis oa.-e Dr. Field, an eminent physician in Kngland, uses the following Himplo rem edy, says :.u exchange: "Put a spoon ful of sulphur in a vvinc giac:. of water, and use it a, c gargle; in ten minutes the patient is relieved. Brimstone kills every fungus in man, beast rnd plant,-;, iu a few minutes. If the patient is too far gone to gargle blow the nulphur down the throat v.-irh a quill. The room may he fumigated with the sulphur thrown upon burning coal: 1 , so as the patient may in hale it freely.” With this simple remedy Dr. Field has never lost a pati. nt. ■ ■ ■<♦< r**-— — ■ - It i.-i true, & baby is not a very large thing—“only a baby,” says the poet; yet this inconsequential package of tender humanity will, with scarcely an api a rent effort, drown the L- avy breathings o! a mighty engine, outballow the raging ocean, banish sleep Irom two decks of a steamboat, and chain the attention of a thousand sleepy passengers for seven con secutive hours. A lady sent a rote to a new.-paper to trot a reeipo to cure whocpir.g cough in a I air cf twins. Fy a mistake a recipe for pickling onions was unconsciously insert ed and- her nan.a attached, and she re ceived through tits answer to correspond ents: “If not too young, skin them pretty close, irumorse in scalding water, sprinkle plentifully with salt, and im taer.ie them for ", week in strong brine.” A Kentucky man who went to the Black Hills wrote back to a local paper Haying: “Offer a premium at your com ing fair for the biggest fool in tho country, and I’ll try and get there in time.” “ I should not object to my wife’s reigning,” said an affectionate husband, “if it were not tho fact that when she reigns she is apt to storm also.”
