A Wife’s Influence.
“So yon don’t want me to marry
Loafs, Aant Sophiei 1 * came from the
Georgia Arnold, the wilful young
beauty, was not in A mood to appro*
ciat the wise counsel of her aunt.
“I do not want to give my consent
for a onion that would render yon
miserable, Georgia,” replied the lady
firmly “and you—would—would be
the wife of a drunkard.”
“He promised me that he would
dripking,” said Georgia, a little
Mftfcme.;;; * - <
tow long since, child ?’* ’ * ■
“More than a month ago.”
The lady was silent for a few mo*
ments, and then said gravely:
“Geoisia, I told yon at first that
the habit was confirmed with Louis
Howe. He was sixteen years old
when I first saw him intoxicated. He
.is now twenty-four.”
“But be may have kept his prom
ise, Annt Sophie.”
“Don’t delude yourself with that
belief, Georgia. Louis Howe passed
by here las$ night so deeply intoxi
cated that be conld scarcely hold the
reins. Yon need not look incredu
lous, child; it is true. If he was a
E of tjigh moral principle, I would
i that a wife’s gentle influence
might save him. Bat I think there is
no human help for him.”' 1
r A lo,ng pauso, daring which Geor
gia was endeavoring to restrain the
tears that would come. After awhile
Miss Chester-continued, thoughtfully:
“I have known one instance when a
wife’s gentle influence saved a noble
man from disgrace—death, perhaps.
Bat be had only just began to quaff
from the poisoned cap, and, besides,
he was far superior in character to
Lonis Howe. Yon remember that
yon were remarking the other day up
on the happiness of yonr cousin, Ada
Melbonrne, and her husband. They
were married while you were at board
ing school.”
Georgia looked up in eager expec
tation.
"I will tell you of it all now. Not
because I believe that any pare in-
flunence could actuate Louis, but be*
cause it happens to be uppermost in
my mind. Ada was always a strange
girl—reserved, modest and gentle, yet
very firm nud decided sometimes. I
was never tired watching her face—
she lived with me yon know. She
was in all respects such a woman as
was rarely to bo found. One day she
came to me and told me that one of
her admirers had proposed."
•"Wbatwas your answer, Ada?’ I
asked.
“ 'I rejected him decidely, Annt So
phia,’ she replied. ‘I would not tanr-
ry a man who gave promise of filling
a drankard’s grave.’
••■Ho drinks moderately,’ I said,
just for the purpose of trying her.
" ‘My husband mnst be totally ab
stemious,’ sbo said firmly.
‘I rejoiced at her descision, and
was still happier when she gave her
promise to Charlie Melbourne to be
bis wife. They were married, and nt
the earnest request of both, I went to
live with them in their new home.—
Their sky was cloudless for a time,
but after awhile I saw that Ada ’ was
looking sad and careworn. I did riot
question her about it, but waited un
til she should come to me, which she
did before long.”
“ ‘Ob, Annt Sophie, I am so miser
able,' she exclaimed. I soothed her
tenderly, and after awhile when she
bad become calmer, she told me all.
That her rejected suitor, from mo
tives of revenge, probably, was en
deavoring to draw Charley from the
bonje influences. 'I have tried to
want him/ she said, 'but he is gen
erous to a fault, and would not believe
in the possibility of snob an set of
treachery. He went to the club last
night with him, and was almost an
gry when I tried gently to remon
strate. Ob! what shall I do?’
“Ada was almost despairing then,
and it was nearly beyopd my power
to control her. At length, however,
she arose, understanding that she
alone could sav» him and determined
to do everything in her power. ' ‘. !
“That night Charley did not come
home to tea. I knew that Ada antic
ipated a repetition of the lost night’s
experience. I eon Id not sleep, and
for dreary hours I conld hear her
walking restlessly up and down her
room. Just at twelve Charley came
borne.
“With a wisdom which few persons
of more mature years seem to possess,
she said nothing to him' then. His
voice floated in to me somewhat husk
ily, and I feared the worst An hour
later my door was opened softly and
Ada came in and threw herself down
on the side of the bed murmuring
sddly: u
“ 'Ob, Annt Sophie, it is just as I
feared; Charley has been drinking.—
He lead him into temptation and will
never be satisfied until he, leads him
on to ruin. He came to the door
with Charley. I saw him waiting out
side, thinking, perhaps, to hear my re
proaches and my grief. Like the In
dian at the stake, however, I sap-
pressed all.’
“'You have acted wisely, dear
Ada/1 replied soothingly, 'bat don’t
despair yet He has only just Ca
tered upon the downward path, and
you can save him, if any earthly pow
er can.’
•I wish I could think so/ she re
turned. ‘But if you bad only known
my anguish when he entered the
room an hour ago. Ho has never
tampered with intoxicating liquors,
and a little has sufficed to overthrow
him completely.’
“For a long time she mourned thus;
then sbo recollected her determina
tion of the day before and arose in
firm hope. Poor Ada! I could ap
preciate her agony.
“Notono word of repAacb to her
husband came from Ada’s lips the
next day. With smiling face and
cheerful words she greeted him on
every occasion, and would have
seemed the most sunny-hearted creat
ure in the world to a casual observer.
It was not a business day with him,
therefore be bad no occasion to leave
home. I arose from the tea-table
first, and as I passed up the stairs,
glanced into Ada’s sitting room. Ev
erything was arranged as only Ada’s
hand conld have arranged it, neatly
and gracefully. I understood the ten
der care she bad employed, aud hoped
that the loving wife would receive her
reward.
“They come up together, a few mo
ments later, and since my door was
ajar I could bear every word. Ada
opened herelegant melodeon and pro
posed music. Charley hesitated, and
at length told her that lie had prom
ised him-xl^e man of whom I have
spoken—to meet him down in town
bn very important business. There
was a short panse. ‘Charley’—Ada’s
voice was trembling—T know Wei!
what he wants. Twice now ho has
led yon into temptation. Will yon
blindly follow him again ?’
'‘You aro unjust to him/ said
Charley, loftily.
“ ‘No, Charley, I am not unjust—
But would my love for yon be love in
if
, wbo was
deed if I were silent when you are on
the road to ruin ?’ ,v
“It 1 was n hard struggle. 1 "iAda
pleaded with all the earnestness; fit
true wptpaq’alove, and prevailed,
length, for I hear^ him say:
“ ‘Ada, my noble wife, with heave’i'*
help and year's, I will never gloasfr iy
again.’ i
“There were sleqpless eyes and hap
py hearts in Ada's home that night >
“Months passed away, and Char
ley, awakened to a fall sense of his
danger, succeeded in withdrawing
himself wholly from the subtle web'
that the tempter was weaving around
him. ’ i
''One evening in December we three
were gathered in thq sitting room. I
sat in the lamp-light, sewing, Char
ley in bis InxurionB arm chair reading
the dailies^ and Ada Btood by the win
dow, absently gazing, down into the
street. Suddenly an exclamation of
surprise and astonishment burst from
her lips, and both of ns arose and
jpined her. Passing, or rather stag
gering along the street, under the full
blaze of the gas light, was Charles
Melbourne’s tempter, deeply intoxi
cated, looking the wreck of what he
once might have been.
‘Charlie looked down at him with
pale face until be had* passed from
view then placed bis band on Ada's
head and exclaimed with emotion
“ ‘Ada, my noble vvife, I owe my re
covery from that, threatened ruin to
you.’*’ fi'i e,
“Apd that marij Aunt Sophie/’
ashed Georgia, with iriterei
he, and is he still living?”
•That man; rty dsar niece, ia Louis
Howe!”
“Ob, Aunt Sophie 1” The bln* eyes
had a look of sudden fright; then her
face fluahsd haughtily. “It’s enough,
I know what answer to give him now.”
The next morning when Mr. Howe
called to hear bis final answer, he re
ceived a very decided “Nol”
On the Safe Side.
“John,” said an old Georgia plan
tation owner to a faithful old negro,
“are the cows all driven out o4 the
sonth pasture?”
“Yes, sab.” 1
“And the sheep rounded up under
the east bill ?’’
“Yes, sab.”
“And the mare, two-year-old and
bay filly put up in the stable ?”
“All snng, boss.”
“All tight. Yon know there's a
couple of Atlanta editors coming to
fight a duel, and one can’t-be too
careful of his live stock while they are
popping away at each other all day.”
Good hnmor is the clear bine sky
of the soul, on which every star of
talent will shine more clearly, and the
sun of genins encounter no vapors in
bis passage. It is the most exquisite
beauty of a fine face—a redeeming
grace of a homely one/ It is like a
green landscape, harmonizing every
color, mellowing tbo light, softening
the hues of the dark, or like a duet in
a full concert of instrumental sounds,
not at first discovered by the ear, yet
filling op the breaks in the concord
with its deep melody.
It is quite commonly believed^ that
in running a man descends npon the
ball of tbo foot, so that the arch of
the foot may serve as a spring to
break the shock. In his instantane
ous photographs, however, Mr. May-
bridge‘shows that either in walking,
running or jamping, man—like all
other animals so far observed—
alights npon the heel.

Prof. E. L. Larkin has demonstrat
ed that the fall of the largest comet
to the son could only be observed by
the most powerful telescopes and
spectroscopes, while only the most
delicate heat-measuring apparatus
could detect any Increase of tempera
ture upon the earth as an effeat of
the collision. Far from hastening
oar destruction, whatever heat may
be added to the sun by the continued
fall of cometary matter from space
mnst tend to prolong man’s existence
npon an expiring planet, whose poles
ore already frozen in death.
It is related of Miss Adelaide Phil
lips that Borne years ago she found at
Havana a Yankee girl in the ballet
who seemed without a friend, and
was, in fact, a runaway. Miss Phil
lips sought her oot, took her under
her wing, saving her from dangers
greater than she could imagine. Be
fore the opera season' was over, the
girl was struck‘down by yellow fever.
Miss Phillips became her nurse, con
tracted the disease, and very nearly
lost her own life in saving^ another's,
whose only claim was that she was a
stranger in a strange land. .
t A noted physician says many per
sons, simply by deep and rapid exha-
tions of pure air, can become as intox-
cated on oxygen os if they bad taken
a draught of alcoholio stimulants.—
Here is a point for the man who has
been walking rapidly home from the
club in the night air.
