Not only steal away their brain, but their happiness property. Not only happiness and property, but steals away the joy and peace of a long life .of happiness of the wife and child and dethrones that confidence that should, rule supreme within the circle of love, a that wdtfhL freeze The blood of tlie t^imsmi v annals of crime and suffering by intem perance on Adam’s race The story we are about to relate is not the work of vain, delusive fancy. Long ago, dear leader, as we walked the streets at night in a large city, cries of distress and a woman’s wail were heard. It was a low sorrowful cry that trembled on the air, burdened with grief. No appeal for help was uttered—no call for man’s assistance; but it came to the ear like the sobs of a heart that was breaking, or a spirit whose hope in the world had fled. Wc paused as we heard it. The tluskof the evening was mingling with the clouds of night. In the imperfect gloom wc saw no object, nor could dis cern no living creature; yet, spell bound we were transfixed to the spot. These sad despariug tones had put our heart in a tumult of sympathy. It was such a wail as we sometimes hear when the light of the world fades on closing eyes and the widowed are left desolate. Again it came, trembling, thrillingly, on the startled shades of night. This time we detected fiom whence the cry proceeded, and, hoping to be of benefit, moved by sympathy, we entered the house. The room in which we found ourself was destitute of furniture of every soit. The naked walls and bare floor looked dreary and chill in the autumn twilight. Through the shutterless win dows and the broken sash the cold cast wind blew a piercing sting. The mossy sill and the green wet spots on the loosened plaster disclosed continued damp. Over the dark abode there brooded the chill of want. Our life blood ebbed with a chilling fear, and oui heart grow nick with a nameless (head. In the furthest coiner of the room a woman of middle age bent above a child’s pallet of straw. It was from her the cry that alarmed us proceeded. With a dreary hopeless air, her body swayed as she sobbed, and the tears ran down her face Ike rain. The hol low cheeks were livid and the great dark eyes had lost their brightness, but ever, in the wreck we discerned what she once bad been. The profuse black hair was still upon her head, hut its ebon gloss was gone. The form that once had been rouuded and tall had now grown angular and slim, but the mind could go back through the aisle of years and see what the form had been, when she flung the spell of beauty over men’s hearts in her youth’s spring time. But even as we looked, a child’s low utterance foil upon our ear. “ Do not weep, mother, do not cry so bitterly! I’m not hungry now—l want no food. I feel most comfortable. Beautiful forms and shining radiant faces seem to be looking down upon me from a far off height. I see the sheen of glancing wings, and bear the music, so sweet, so sad, that trembles out on the air. Are those bright forms the angels, mother, and the music, the songs of the better land!” We drew nearer and looked upon the face of the child. Pale and wan it lay upon its bumble bed. The torn and tattered sbreads of an old worn out dress clung to the wasted limbs and sunken chest. Long yellow curls shrouded the bead in a golden floes that gleamed like silk; and on the pure white temples the dark blue veins were prominent. The violet eyes were largo and bpiglit, but the sweetyoung mouth | trimbted with emotion. “My child! fPy child 1" and the mother gave way to the anguish that wrung her heart. f ‘To see her dying thus, my little one, dying of starvation and j disease inhaled from these malignant j damps. Oh, God, be merciful and spare my child—my only one, ray little girl!” The clasped Lands were rained high iu passionate entreaty and lips mur j mured inarticulate. Like a sweet young flower in the autumn winds, its petals | (.losing fast, the rose of clay was fading. The little face was white like snow, i and the tint of the lij>s was gone. A chilling Lost on the limbs bad blown, and now they grew iigid and still’; but a smile still 1 oven and on the chiseled lips as sweet as the touch of an angel s kiss. The soft blue eyes were still bright and clear, but they looked on her mother with a tear of regret. She knew she was dying, but she knew her mother would be desolate. And thus she died, with a smile on her lip and a ifyar iu her eye. The fresh turned ear Hi presses down on her bosom. The violet eyes have o; ened iu a better and night she was dying were the glimpses of the heaven where her spirit sings now, and will sing forever. Dear reader, there is little more to be told, and you will have the seijuel of the story. Fight years ago the widowed, desolate woman stood before the altar in all her loving beauty and in the presence of God promised to love and obey one who was dear as her own life. Then a bright future gleamed through the dim vista. Other eyes than hers looked upon this young man as the rising star of his day. A few years passed and witnessed his success. The tempter came, lie yielded, and the tempter only released his hold when it saw him laid in a drunkard’s grave. The light that a loving wife and doting friends looked upon with so much pride, was extinguished. The eyes that once sparkled from a conscience of rectitude and flashed with the light of intellect, now glared with a demon like, wild frantic look. Thus the tempter had destroyed the happiness of a household and sent an unoffending woman into a cold world without money or friends. As she gazes on the past she utters the heart rending sigh, “What might have been,” and looks to the grave as the gale that will lead her to a reunion with her an gel child that has gone before to that land of rest. For the Sentinel. “They know nut what they «lo.” Women caunot bo too care! ul of how they speak to their husbands. Harsh words can never do any good. Bui they have drove many a tnau farther from lie:ii ta and homes. Men are often out of humor noth with themselves and the balance of the world. No one can tell or describe the various passions of the human heart, and often when a man lias been doing tho very best lie could to provide for bis household and ret urns to bis borne to hear angry words from those for whom he Las been toiling.— It fills his Boul with disgust and loath ing, and he naturally turns from home to seek more congenial company, and too often finds it only among the dissi paled. And thus from word to word and step to step many a good man is brought to ruin and disgrace by the tongue of a hot headed and foolish woman. Then the woild talks and frowns upon the mined man, little thinking that the real cause was in bis own home. “Truly it is belter to live in the house top than in a wide houstft wiili a brawling woman. Truly theiiM ways lead down to hell.” Proverb. . Toombs in the North. —“ Massa Bob ” Toombs, of Georgia, will visit the North shortly. A good many years ago Toombs lectured here in Boston.— I o was, in years gone by, the groat Fcc-Fo-Fum of the Abolitionists, who accused him of having boasted that lie would call the muster-roll of his slaves on Bunker Hill,which bo has repeatedly and publicly denied. It is a curious fact that ail bis old slaves stick by him since emancipation, for be is at bottom a kind, large-hearted man, proverbially free with his money. But he has a terribly caustic tongue, and whatever comes uppermost he speaks out with out fear or favor, lie is stout and vigorous in his person, with an eye full of fire and expression. Asa speaker and debater in the United States Sen ate, where wo heard him repeatedly before the war, bo had few superiors. He is at homo in tho best thought and culture of the timos, lie used not un frequently in Lis spueclics to quote from the works of John Stuart Mill and other liberal thinkers.

How Long Shalt, Wk Sleep. —“ The fact is, that life becomes concentrated, and its pursuits more eager, short sleep and early rising become impossible.— We take more sleep than our ancestors, and we take more because we want more. Six hours sleep will do very well for a plowman or biicklaycr, or any other man who has no other ex haustion than that produced by manu al labor, and the sooner he lakes it af ter his labor is over the better; but for a man whose labor is mental, the stress of work is on his brain and nervous system, and for him, who is tired in the evening with a day of mental ap plication, neither early to bed or early to rise is wholesome. He needs letting down to the level of repose. The long er interval between the active use of the brain and his retirement to hud, the better chance of sleep and refresh ment. To him an hopr after midnight is probably as good as two hours be fore it, and even then his sleep will not so completely and quickly restore him as it will his neighbor who is phys ically tired. Ho must not only go to bed later but lie longer. ITis best sleep probably lies in the early morn ing hours, whop all tho nervous excite ment has passed away, and he is in ab solute real.’' It ATi; S Os Al> V I K AIM \ <;.

A Georgian, who professed to be ninety-six years of age, and a carpenter by- trade, has been moved by Mr. Bryant’s letter tw giving Ids own method of preserving health, which is somewhat different from that of the poet, lie says: ‘ I get up about live in the morning, drink about six or eight di inks •yadLL** sol ill corn whisky by uIGgrV ;j clock.

Kr-Kux attack on a Negro Clinton, 'The Amcricus Republican has the tol. lowing: A drunken negro stumbled into a colored prayer meeting, a few nights since, while the congregation was kneeling, and in limiting about for a seat fell heavy on a brother, who, suddenly starting up, yelled out “ Ku- K lux!” and in ono bound went through the window. On an instant the con gregation was in the greatest confu sion. The women shouted, screamed and prayed; the men yelled and fought, striking anything and anybody near them. The lights were put out through tho melee, and the house was emptied as speedily as the affiighted darkies could distangle themselves and get out, except tho drunken wretch who had been trampled upon and knocked about until he was nearly senseless. As soon as it became quiet he got up and made a dash for the door and was soon hurry ing homeward. On the way he met some gentlemen, to whom he said: “The damn Ku Kluxers come down to church jess now, and kilt al out twen ty five, arid whipped the wimmen and driv us all out. They skint me all over with great big knives, and my bones ain’t got a hit of meat on ’em. Dis poor deflictcd chile is a dead nigger,” and ho went staggering homeward. Few are probably aware of the fate of Lord Byron’s heart. After his death at Missolonghi, in 1822, his body was embalmed and sent to England, but the heart was begged and obtained by the Greeks, who enclosed it in a silver case.
