S. ilolt, President of the Southwestern Railroad, urging him to aid in extending his road to Abbeville, aud thence towards Mont gomery. I EVERV LITTLE HELPS. By tbo Author of “Ten Nights in a Bar Room.” ‘‘i’m for temperance,” said a brown oyed little fellow , and ho shut his lips firmly, looking the very pioture of reso lution. “Indeed! 'Then it’s all ovor with King Alcohol,” answord his older broth er, laughing. “Oh, you may laugh ! It doesn’t hurt anything 1” said John, not in tbe least dashed by his brother’s poor opin ion of his influence. If I’m not as old nor as big as you arc, I count one on the right side ; aud every little helps, as mother says. So .’in for temper ance, and 1 don’t care who knows it.” “Don’t you, indeed ? S’poso all tho world knew it—what then?” “Why, tho world would know that when I grow up, thero’d bo one man who didn’t spend his money nor idle his time in bar-rooms ; who didn’t make his wife sit up half the night for him, cry her eyes out; and who didn't neg lect or abuse his children. That’s what the world would know, and I guess it would help the cause a little.” “Don’t talk so loud, John ” His brother spoke in a low voice. “Unc’e Phil might hear you. lie’s in the next room.” “Is he ? Well. I’m not ashamed to let him know I’m for temperance. I only wish he was. Maybe Aunt Susy wouldn’t cry as much as bLo does ; maybe they’d have a house of their owu to live iD.” “II us b, John ! He’ll be angry if he hears you.” “Getting angry wouldn’t make it any better, Ned,” firmly answered John.— I’m a temperance boy ; aud if Undo Phil gets angry becau-e I just say that I wish he was a temperance man, he’ll have to get angry that’s all. I love Aunt Susy. She’s as good as she can bo; and Uncle Phil makes her cry with his drinking and getting tipsy. It’s a great deal worse for hi m to do it than for me to s.y it, and he’d a great deal better get angry at himself and not me.’ It was as Ned had feared. Uucle Phil, who was in the next room, heard every word of this conversation. Was he very angry at the little apcstle o? temperance ? We shall soe. At tho mention of his name, he pricked up his ears to listen. As John said, “I’m not ashamed to let him know that I’m for temperance —I only wish he was,” two rod spots burned on his cheeks, and he locked annoyed. But when John ad ded, “Maybe Aunt Susy would’ut cry as much as she doas ; and maybe they’d have a house of their own to live in,” the'bj<c»ti> went off of Lis checks uud he grew quite p“le. What John aaiJ after this didn’t bring the blood back to, Lis face, but made it if anything, paler. He got up in a cowed sort of a way, and left the room so quietly that the two Fay s'* not jiear him go ont. IT n'*T*iPiyft-I‘tiilj nhnnti TL^LTI II had spoken so plainly, deserved all thaf that was said of him, and a gt#at. deal more. Intemperance had almost de stroyed his manhood. ILc was the slave of strong drink. Appetite, in dulged for years had gained a foarful power over him, and to gratify his burn’ ing thirst, he spent nearly every dollar (hat be eari ed, and lived with his fam ily meanly dependent upon his brother Once ho had been iu good business ; Now he was a clerk, on small pay, in the store of a friend, hamed Mr. Os borne, who kept Lim more out of pity than the service he gave. Sometimes he would be absent from bis post for days, and often for hours in each day The friend after scolding him, pleading with him, threatening bim, but all to no purpose, had about made up bis .mind to turn Lim adrift. , “I can’t have bim here any rontfer,?’ said Mr. Osborne, speaking to bis head clerk “I've iri:d my best to bim, but it’s no use. As ho drinks up’every thing bo oarns, it willbe better^ - him to earn nothing.” j “Ive long thought that,’’ apswered the eleik.**‘The fact is, with him TO a drgree that surprtsesfevc ryone in the store.” “1 shall -do it no longer,” wvaa# the resolute reply. | “There he comes now,” «aid the clerk. * J Mr. Osborne turned with a Lard look in his face, intending to stop Utlfcle Phil before be reached his dptk and tell him that his duties there wert at an end. J>ut something in Uncle Phil’s' manner kept bim from what was in bis thoughts. The poor man came in with a quicker step, and an air of earnestness about him not seen for a long time. “I’ll not be late again, Mr. Osborne,’ he said, in an humble way. “It’s all wrorg ; but it shau't happen again.” “1 hope no’,’ replied Air. Osboruo, in a tone that gave Unolc Phil a start. “You’ve a right to be displeased,’ the wrotchcd man aaid. “I only wonder • you’ve homo with me so long. But have patience with mo a little while longer. I’ve made up my mind to lead 1 anew life, God helping me !” Uncle Phil’s voioo trembled, and pity came back into Mr. Osborne’s heart. “God alone oan help you,” answered his kind friend. Unless you getstrength from him, your case is hopeless.” “I am resolved never to drink one j drop of liquor again so long as I live,” said Uncle Phil, speaking solemnly. “All good resolutions are from heav en, my friend,’ answered Mr. Osborne, “and from heaven comes the power to keep them. Trust not io your own poor strength—it has failed you a thou sand times—but look upward, and while you pray ior help, keep yourself out of the old ways wherein your foet have stumbled. This is your part of the work, and must not fail foi an instant. If you go whero liquor is sold, you go out of the circle of safety ; if you touch or taste it, you fall. God cannot help you, unless you try to help y out self j aud the only way in which you cau help yourself is to _keep far off from daDger. While you do this no strong desire for liquor will be felt ; but if you teste it, you are lost." Uucle Phil stood with a bont head while Mr. Osboroe was talking. “I will never taste it again,” be an swered—“never so long as I live !” A thing happened that evening which had not happened for months.— Uuole Phil made one of the family cir cle at tea-tirue. Ho came in with a so ber face and quiet air, giviDg all a pleas ed surprise John, who had spoken his mind so freely iu the morning, and who had been thinking about him all day—for he was pretty sure Uncle Phil had heard his plaiu talk—eould not keep his eyes from his face. Un cle Phil soon buoarno aware that John was observirg him with keen interest. All at once, breaking tbe embarrassed silence of the tea-table,jhe asked look ing at the boy, “What are you for, John ?” Fur a moment John hesitated, while his cheek .red. Then he answered j firm’y : “La® /S''temperance.” There was an uneasy stir around the table, and a surprised looking from face to face. “So am I, John, and that makes two on the right side ; and we dont care who knows it!” spoke out Uucle Phil iu a clear ringing voice. Oh, what'a tearful, happy time came then ! Aunt Susy cried for joy, and John's motheCK.qried and tugged her little son, w|tf*i Uucle Phil repeated the bravo, strong wonds he had heard him say in the morning—words that went arrows to his heart. Uncle Phil never drank" tga.in. Be fore a year had passed hennd Aunt Susy were in a small ho.use of their Ij^frjßlepepd^yatufrhagfly. done by a little boy and is not afraid so speak s.roDg words in a good cause. following good story was Lauded us by our friend Mr. J.

The fame of tbe gifted Orator had prccecded him, and every person in the city of Bluffs was anxious to hear him. bp SOmy j means, the news happened to reach tbe hovel of an old woman, who perhaps had not beard a sermon for a quarter of a century, and very seldom went out in to the world. She determined to hear the stranger. It being exceedingly warm and having no fan, she started to puschasaxiue. She got to a store, where they happened to koow her, and aware oi her ignorance, they determined to have sci*e fun. They told her they had.ju.st received anew fasfiooed fan, a very beautiful j article, and handed her a ctumntfc* bellows: m*- —" She tried its power so raise a breeze, and was perfectly delighted witL'it To church she went, the house being C"Owd ed, she took her seat near the pul- it.— The text was selected, aud the speaker i progressed and was warmed with bis sul ject and so did the old woman, wfe'u now brought her fan to her face and commenced blowing away as if her sal vation Keeping cool.— This attracted of the au dience, and the speaker looked down to sec what was the nutter. Ills eye caught a glympsj of tho old woman—he stopped aud smiled at the ridiculous fig ure she cut. The old woman observed him looking at her and cried, “Go it my magnolia, brws- God, I’m all attention The audience fainted, the curtain dropped and wo left, but the imago of the old woman with her now fan is yet before us. VOL. IV. —NO. 18. j£3C’“Ally Gator," tbe correspon dent of tbe Knoxville Prest and Her ald, has had a conversation with Brown low sinco his return from Washington. lie says: I asked what ho thought of Washing ton, and matters and things generally in that connection. “Ally,” said ha, “that Washington is tho worst plaoe in all croation, and aa [ for Grant, ho is a bigger fool (ban Thompson’s colt. Didn’t I beat him on the Pension Agent appointment, thoTgh ?” “He is loyal, nevertheless, isn’t he ?” said I. “Loyal/ ’ repeated tho old man dream ily, “well yes, he’s loyal, I suppose, but do you think I would let a Senate rule mo as they do him 7” In reply as to whether he thought Grant was at the bottom of the Imperi aljmovcment, aud what he thought of tho movement, he said: “The movement, Ally, is all right.— It is the only cause to perpetrate loyal ty, as you oan readily appreciate by a survey of my career as Governor, but as for Grant being the Emperor—” “Well, —” said I. “Aily, he is tho greatest failure of the age. He an Emperor l” And in the depth es his disgust he made a remark, whioh sounded like a literal translation of what (according to Victor Hugo) Cambroone said at the battle of Waterloo. Tbo Evansville (Indiana) Journal gives the following account of tbe sup posed suioide of a Georgia printer: H. H. Parks, a printer, who has lately worked at the Courier offioe, dis appeared on last Tuesday evening, and has not been heard of sinoe. It is sup posed that be committed suicide, and some deck Lands belonging to tho steamer Norman, say that a man jump ed into the river on Tuesday evening from ona of tbs wharf boats.
