“AVliat is it Huthie ? Aro you an
gry that you will not kiss me good
night i*
Henry Harland stood at the thresh
old ol‘ a fine old mansion and looked
into the black eyes of liuth Ward, to
whom he was engaged to be married,
who stood a little buck in the shadow
of the hall aud refused to kiss him
good-night.
“1 cannot kiss you, Homy,” she
said, “because you—you have boeD
drinking, and 1 cannot kiss a man
whose breath is contaminated with
liquor.”
The young man dropped his eyes
and a blush stole up to his brown
cheek, and then he offered the same
excuse that till men ollVr when first
they commence to tamper with strong
drink.
“is that it, Huthie ? ' he said. “I
have only been thinking a glass of
wine that Mrs Gleason offered me.
You don t object to that, for you know
I don’t drink. ’
“Henry, my only brotlior was ru
ined from taking a glass of wine, aud
I made a vow, when I saw him in his
coltiu, that I would never receive the
attentions of any young man who
would trust himself to drink even
wine and feel that he was sale in do
ing so. In tho beginning is the tune
to speak. The first glass is the one
to avoid. If you knew what terrible
anguish jour breath scented with wine
culls to my memory, j-ou would under
stand better my lirmuess and determi
nation. ’
“Then j'ou are go’.ng to break our
engagement because 1 have drauk a
gtaos of winesaid Henry, a little
disdainfully.
“jNo, lienrj’, I love J'ou,” said
liutli ; “and 1 think you will lor my
sake be abstemious in future, aud i
wish you would sign the pledge. You
have drunk wine often of late, though
1 did not lully realize it until to-day,
and il j’ou do not abstain from it
now, 1 must reluse j'our attention in
luture. ’
“You profess to love me,” said he ;
“but j’ou de not, fur love would in
duce you to stand bj’ me and try to
keep me irom tempi ation; but, in
stead, you drive me to destruction.”
“■Listen to me, Lienrj’,” said liuth,
her eyes glistening,, aud her voice
trembling. “You say i do not tove
you, bocauso 1 will not sacrifice my
happiness and weiiare, and that of
others, lor you when you will not
niase the sligiit sacrifice for me ol
signing the pledge, TCeason is as nec
essary us love, and how could 1 keep
you from destruction when you are
determined net te listen te mo, hut to
go on in the ve y pain which, lam
sure, leads to ruin aud a drunkard’s
grave.’
"You aro too hasty, Ruth ; j'our ex
perience with y- u. brother t finds you.
\> inu doesu’i ha.m me,aud as it is ot
tered me continually, i cannot well
re* use it.’
“(Jirange your boarding place,’
said iiutli; “Airs. Gleason is doing
inure iiurin tliau she dreams of in
treating tier boarders witil wme. Uo
to Ails. Amliotvs to board, obo io a
strong tomporauev woman. If you
iuvu me, way will you uot grant me
tills request f”
“You know I love you, Kuth, but
you uiu unreasonable. I am in no
clangor, and can govern my appetite.
You talk as tliuugu I was very near a
drunkard s grave.' 1
It was all in vain that careful,
black-eyed Kuth pleaded with her
lover, and wnen biie saw that plead
ings were all iu vain, she said, m a
voice firm but lull of anguish :
“Tueu, dear Henry, tare well; I can
not break my vow. My brotners
dead lace would come to nauut mo. I
siiad pray tnat you may »eo tue error
ol your ways—xareweii.”
.Sue was gone, and though Harry
HaiiauU caned alter lier, sue did not
return. ■ e walked slowly down tije
steps and along the graveyard walk.
More and more his feelings solteued,
and beioiv he had reached his board
ing house ho said soitiy to himself:
“A glass ot wine shall not separate
mo lrom my darling Kuth. 1 uan
much easier dispense witli that th ail
with her love, anti I will sigu tue
pledgeto-tuorrow, and we Will bo hap- j
py again.’
He entered the house and was piss
ing oil to liis room, but a young man
opened a door and stepping iuto the
hail, said pleasantly: Tnat you, Uar- j
land f walk in a moment, 1 waut to j
sjicuk with yon ’
“It is too late, ’ said Ilenry, pass
ing on ; bat tlie young man urged,
and finally grasping his arm, nail
dragged him into tue apurtmeut
“ You shall have u taste ol this
wine,” he said, “tlie best you have
ever drauk ; hero’s a glass ready for
you-'’
“No, I thank you,” said Henry,
looking, as he said tnis, longingly at
the wine. “No, Dart, I dun t wish
for any wine to-night
“Weil, but taste of this’’ said Dart,
“you cau’t object to that. Taste, and
givo me your opinion of it. 1 say it
is the best wine that ever was made.”
Henry drank, not only the first, but
more and more until his good resolve
was forgotten and lie staggered to his
room. The next morning ho awoke
with a blinding headache and a guilty
cciiscieuce.
“I cuuuot see Ruth to-day, ’ he
said “nor sign the pledge, while last
ni< r ht s indulgence is so near, but in a
few days, when tins passed by, we
will be good friends once more and I
•will not drink again ”
Had be gone at that moment, con
fussed his fault, aud pledg 'd himself
to abstain thereafter, lie might have
been saved; but ho listened again t.i
tho voice of the tempter, and fell, and
tho drunkard’s seal was upon him.
A few months after lie ’had heard
j liuth »’• aid’s farewell, he lied from hia
native town, determined t change liis
course and again be a man. A thou
sand times lie had thought of her
warning, and a thousand times re
! solved to drink no more; but every
time bis resolution was broken, anil at
last disgraced and despised, lie Hod,
no one knew whither but himself.
The twenty thousand dollars which
were his six months before were all
gone ; his dress was shabby, his eyes
blood-slmt, and hia form emaciated
From the car win low lie looked anx
iously at every station, not knowing
where or when to stop.
At last he spied in the distance a
beautiful village, made up of snowy
white cottages, shaded with huge
elms aud poplars. It looked so quiet
and peaceful, and inviting, that when
the train stopped at the station he
alighted and gazed with a wistful
hungry look at tho shade 1 streets aud
quiet homes.
How happy he might have been
now if he hail listened to the words of
Ruth Ward. It was the month
which had been appointed for their
marriage and with-how much antici
pated happiness had he looked for
ward to it. Ho was weak, and hun
gry, heart-six, and lie leaned against
a pile of bo es near him and groaned
in agony of spirit. A man touched
him on the arm.
“Look here, stranger,” lie said;
“you look faint " Gome around the
corner, here, and get a glass of wliis
key.”
He started at those words; liis thirst
was maddening, and was about to
follow the iiiun’s directions, when an
other man, tall, gentlemanly and
kind, said, in a low, earnest tone :
“►Stranger, 1 see that you are un
happy ; but whiskey will not help
you.’
“Help mo ? ’ screamed Henry,
looking at tho mail wildly; “it has al
ready been my ruin; but wbat can I
do Y lam tempted on every side. I
have no work, no home, no friends-’
“I am the l'rien l of just suck as
you,” said tho man, in a soft, fatherly
tone.
Henry looked up in surprise, anti
there was a gleam of hope in liis
taco.
The kind man drew his arm within
his own.
“Come with mo,’’ lie said, away
from these delis ot murder and de
struction, and I will give you every
inducement to reform. I rend- j'our
history in your face, ami 1 know the
whole stoiy from my own experience,
lor once 1 was a drunkard, and was
tempted alike as jmu are; but a kind
heart cheered me, ami a kind hand
led mo into a better path, and it is mj
greatest desire to help) all those who
have fallen into temptation.”
Henry had indeed found a friend
Ho was soon at work, aud had joined
a lodge of Good Templars in the vil
lage, and his superior education, his
refined manners, and uncommon abili
ty, soon raised him to a high p> isitiou.
Ma. Tves, the gentleman who had
beirieiidod him,, was a merchant, aud
lienrj - wtis employed as clerk in his
store. He kepit his piosition but a
short time, however, for his abilities
were soon discovered, and the ptosition
of head book-keeper was given him.—
Months passed on, and he became the
handsome, elegant gentleman lie was
before the wiuo-cup maddened him,
aud many a young girl felt tiie blood
rushing to her face when she heard
liis stepis or felt the claspi ot his hand,
but Henry hud not forgotten the
black eyed girl who had so firmly re
fused liis attentions, and his Inglrtist
ambition' and hope were to make him
sell worthy of her love, and tlien seek
her out and make her his wife.
Several years passed away, ami at
last a great tempo!ance convention
called him to his native town. His
eloqunce as a speaker had been dis
covered, and ho had often aldressad
meetings on the subject of temper
ance, hoping thereby to save some
soul from destruction. The evening
appointed lor him to address the con
vention was very fair, and the attend
ance exceeding largo. Tall, graceful
and manly, he bowed before the audi
ence and proceeded with his lecture,
ho had spokeu but a few moments
b jfore he discovered a pair of black
eyes fixed upon him, the expres
sive black eyes of Kuth Ward.
He hesitated a moment embar
ras id and confused, then r- -
gaming selipossession, ho broke the
thread of his discourse and relat and
his experience. Tuere was a dead si
lence in the loom as the handsome
young man told his past degradation,
bis temptation, his broken resolves,
and his meeting with the good man
who hail befriended him. Not an eve
of that great assembly was free from
tears, and when lie had closed with
an eloquent peroration of warning to
young men, there wa3 a moment’s
silence, then cheer after cheer rent
tire air, and men and women crowded
around the piatlomi to clasp the hand
of the young orator. In vain he look
ed for the black eyes which had iu
inspired him to greet him. Disup
poi ted, he was about to depart, for
the hall was nearly empty, when he
felt a toucii on his arm, and turning
beheld the black eyes full of teats, but
the rod lips wreathed with a smile.
At the threshold ot the old mansion
that night, ho received the good night
kiss, and the promise that thi early
spring should find them man and
wife.

jeet Indians to implore Divine grace,
endeavoring to turn their thoughts in
to piatha of pieace and good will to
wards all men, and directing them to
observe a day of fasting, humiliation
amt piraver;
“To-day the Cherokee, and the
wholo Indian race, are in distress and
danger. Powerless we lie in tho
nands of the Government and pifiopde
of tiie United States, as did tho Jews'
in tiie hands of Ahasuerus and the
Persians. The United States can
bring tiie weight of 40,000,000 peo
