A Hard Struggle.
Harry Sinclair, at the age of twen¬
ty-one, was a thrifty, well to-do busi¬
ness man, aud engaged to Miss Ger¬
trude Winston, a young lady of the
family, with fine intellect; well edu
cated and passionately iu love with
Harry. He was what the world calls
a moderate drinker, but his friends
noticed that the drinking habit was
growing on him.
He was devoted to Gertrude but he
not'ced that she w as not so happy as
she had always seemed to be and when
she met liim be fancied he could de¬
tect in her eyes a deeply hidden sor¬
row. Not suspecting for a moment
that his own life had anything to do
with her sadness he tenderly inquired
other what was troubling her.
She told Harry how she loves him
and would go to the end of the world
with him it ho would grant thesligh 1
request she would make of him.
•My dear girl, your slightest wish
will be complied with. 4
He was standing and she came to
him, Putting both hands on his
shoulders, and laying her head on his
breaT, she said:
‘Harry, you must quit drinking in¬
toxicants. 4
‘Why, Gertie? 4
‘Because I can see the appetite for
liquor fastening itself upon you, and
although I love you more than you
enveu imagine, I can see that if you

‘But, Harry, I have noticed closely.
My mother has also noticed that their
is a change in you in the last few
months. You like liquor better than
you think you do, and I beg of you in
all kindness to quit it. Will you pro-
mise?‘ She raised her head and cast
her loving eyes on him with earnest
gaze. He stood motionless and said :

Gertrude, you know
cir best. If you have
' i iu what I tell you. or no
in r gird to my stamina,
at we part now. Wo
n honest with each
other, and it is better to have this
parting now than to have it later. 4 '
They parted. He reflected and
came to the conclusion that she was
light. She proved herself to be a sen¬
sible, brave, honest lady. That she
loved him he did not doubt, and now
that they were'.separated, her vision
was continually before him, and be
loved her more than ever. When he
took a drink of liquor he could almost
hear her voice crying, “Oh,3 Harry,
shun that poison! 4 i By the time ho
arrived at the age of twenty-three,
and noticing that Gertrude was still
persistent in her demands, lie made
hitf first effort to quit drinking. He
had been drinking very hard during
the day, and in the eveuing while un¬
der the influence of liquor ho wrote
to Gertrude, telling her how lonely he
was, how he still loved her, that ho
lealized more than ever the impor¬
tance of her request, and if she would
take him into her heart again he
would quit drinking.
Two weeks rolled by and he received
a letter from Gertrude,who was visiting
iu a neighboring city. Ilis letter had
been forwarded to her, but she was
unwell and couid not answer sooner.
In the letter she accepted his terms,
told him if he let liquor alone she
would consider their engagement un
brokeu. Hope and Courage came to
him. He realized now that he was a
dram-drinker and would have to stop
it. He wrote a long, kind aud loving
letter to Gertrude the next day, tell¬
ing her lliat he would never drink
another drop; but at the time he did¬
n’t dream of the struggle there was
before him.
A week of agony rolled by. He
found his effort to leave liquor alone
more difficult than he had calculated
on; that he had indeed become enslav¬
ed before he knew it. Iiis mother
gave him all the encouragement she
could. He met with some little re¬
verses in business, and felt despond¬
ent over them, besides having a des¬
perate fight with his appetite.
Eight days rolled around and he
felt that he must have a driuk of li¬
quor. He felt sick and was certain it
would do him good. He yielded to
that feeling and took a drink, but he
could not stop with one. He took
another and another,each time declar¬
ing he would drink no more. In few
hours he became intoxicated. His

A Courageous Crowd.
Catch a rut iu a trap, aud he will
fight. Trap a man, aud—well, you
cau’t rely on him. Jt is according to
the trap. In the heavy stage-coach as
it rolled out of Lea'lvilie,says a fron¬
tier letter, are seven men - Oua is an
army officerwho has half a dozen scars
io prove his bravery. Cut off from his
command on the Plains last summer
by a score of Indians, lie entrenched
himself and fought the band off uutil
help arrived. Two of the others are
desperadoes who have Killed fheir
men. Three of the others are stalwart
miners, each armed w ith two revolvers
and they look as if they would prove
ugly in a fight.
The seventh man might do some
shooting ou a pinch, but he hopes
there will be no pinch. In the crowd
are ten revolvers, two derringers, three
repeating rifles, and four or five bow ¬
ie-knives, aud there is perfect good
feeling us the stage rools along. It is
tacitly understood that the army cap¬
tain is to assume cammand in case the
Coach is attacked, and that all are to
keep cool aud fire to kill.
It is 10 o'clock in the morning. The
windows are down, and the passengers
are smoking and talking and -eekiug
for comfortable positions. The coach
bus just reached the top of the hill,
when every lioise is suddenly pulled
up.
‘If it’s a b’ar we’ll have some fun,’
growled one of the miners, as he put
his head out of tue window.
•If it‘s a robber, fgiu me the first
pop at him, 4 whispered one of the
desperadoes.
No one could say what the trouble
was, when a wiry little chap, about
five feet six inches tall, with black
eyes and hair, clean face and thin
lips, appeared ut the left baud door
with a cocked revolver in either band,
aud Said:
“Gents, I’m sorry to disturb you,
but I’ve got to make a raise this mor¬
ning. Please leave your shooters aud
climb clown here, one at a time.’
It was sudden. It was so sudden
that it took ten seconds to understand
the drift of his remarks. Then every
eye turned to the right hand door, and
and the two revolvers held by a second
robber were seen at the open window.
It was a trap. The rats were caught,
and would they fight?
‘Gents, I m growing a little impa
tient, 1 continued the first robber, ‘and
I want to see tee procession begin to
move. 4
Let's see: The captain was to lead
us, aud we were to be cool, and fire to
kill. But the captrin was growing
white around the mouth, and nobody
had a wenpon in hand. The rights
were not going to fight. One of the
miners opened the door and descended,
and the other six humbly followed.
The seven were drawn up iu a line
across the road, and while the robber
held his shooter on the line, he coohy
observed to his partuer:
‘Now. William, you remove the wea¬
pons from the coach, and then search
these gentlemen. 1
As William obeyed, every victim
was ordered to hold his hands above
his head, aud what ever plunder was
taken from his pockets was droped in¬
to William's hat. Four gold watches,
two diamond rings, a telescope, a dia¬
mond pin, a gold badge aud 81,000 in
cash changed hands in ten minutes.
Not a man had a word to say. The
driver of the coach did not leave his
seat, and was not interfered with.
When the last man had been plun
dered, the genteel Dick Turpin kindly
observed:
“ You are the most decent set of
men I ever robbed, and if times wer
eu‘t so blasted hard I’d make each of
you a present of 810. Now, then,
climb back to your places, and the
coach will go on. 4
qq ie cr0 wd ‘dumb, 4 and the ve -
hide resumed its journey. Not a
weapon, or a timepiece or a
^n^had IT,/ cleaned out
p wonnd' y two, and not a shot fired or a
given. Each man took hi3
seat without a word. Mile after mile
was passed in silence, and fiualiy the
seventh man—the man who might
tigut on a pinch, but didn’t—plain-
tively •‘Can’t suggested: gentlemen

Couldn 't Cause He Sung So.
Leaning idle over a fence a few
days since, I noticed a little four
year clef ‘lord of creation*
himself in the grass by watching the
frolicsome flight of birds which
around him. At length a
boblink perened himself upon a droop¬
ing bough of an Apple tree which
extended to within a few yards of
the spot where the urchin sat, and
maintained his position appearently
unconscious of the close proximity to
one whom birds generally consider a
dangerous neighbor.
The boy seemed astonished at his
impudence, and after steadily regard¬
ing him for a minute or two, obey¬
ing the instincts of his baser nature,
bo picked up a stone lying at the feet,
aud prepared himself for a good aim,
The little arm was reached backward
without alarming the bird, the Bob
was within an ace of damage, when
lol his throat swelled, aud Nature's
plea: "A link—aliuk a 1 l u k, Bob-o-
link. Bob-o-o-liuk! a no-weed! I know
it—I know it! a link! don't throw it 1
throw it! 4 etc., etc.; and he didn't.
Slowly the arm subsided to its natural
position,aud the depised stone dropped.
The minstrel charmed the murderer!
We heard the songster through, and
watched bis unharmed flight, as did
the boy with a sorrowful counteuence.
Anxious to hear an expression of a lit.
tie fellow's feeling, we approached
him and enquired: ‘Why did‘t you
stone him, my boy? You might have
killed him, aud carried him home. 4
The poor, little fellow looked up
doubtingly, as though he suspeted our
meaning, and with an expression of
shame and3 half sorrow, he replied,
‘Could 4 nt cause he song so. 4 Who will
say our nature is wholly depraved
after that; or even that music hath no
charms to soothe ths savage breast?
Melody awakened humanity—mercy!
the bird was saved, and God was glo
rifled by the deed. Dear little boys,
doo 4 t sterne the birds.
Unhappiness at Home.
JTu unhappiness in life is equal to un¬
happiness at home. All other per ooal
miseries can be better borne than the
terrible misfortune of domestic dis¬
union, and uone so completely demor¬
alize the nature. The anguish of dis
ease itself is moified ameliorated, ren-
dered touch, the dear presence of the
sympatheic beloved: and loss of for¬
tune is not loss of hapmess whore fam¬
ily love is left. But the wuut of that
love is uot to he supplied by anything
else on earth. Health,fotune success
nothing has its Savor when the home
is unhappy; and the greatest triumphs
out of doors are of uo avail to hear
the sinking heart when the misery
within has to encountered. To be
supposed gifted with home bappiuess
because held iu public honor, and the
to go book, Cindrell-like, to the ash¬
es of the domestic hearth, there to sit
in the midst of contention, disunion
and dispair—what life can equal the
rni-ery of this? Noce;not even impris ¬
onment, banishment, poverty nor
rniu—nothing has the force of misery
which lies in the fact of domestic dis¬
cord. No wouder that strong men
break down under the '.strain, that
ardent women fling all social honor,
all personal self-respect, self-restraint
to the winds, and go off into the
wilderness to escape from the forture
of such a life .—Home Journal
