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 k e-r “ V’nking there is a dark and oh! honibie mti in store for ns. nr,’ said Harry wiping her anktreiuef, 4 *- : > -.

I will look out for number one. I am looking out for your interest as well a3 my own.’ ‘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 : Twill Dot be dictated to now. I to--*™ Mdwillro. my own boat.

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 1 promise were brokeu. ' ■/ new it. Gertrude was of it, but Harry, like a :st man, wrote to her,making ‘eisicn, and telling her he again, and bad made up his it drinking if it killed him. - / a was very cool, and closed •by stating that she would y i man who drank or who bra k. -tv . ;s detrmined to make her s • for her lack of sympathy for him He made several weak attempts to quit drinking, but always failed. Two years of debauchery followed. All of his companions, except a few who went down with him, did not recognize him. Finally he made another effort to quit drinking, and not only surprised bis friends, but surprised himself, For seven years he has been liviug the life of a temperance man. His manly deportment has made him friends by the thousands. lie is an outsopken, brave friend of tern- : perance, and m a few weeks we expect to bear of bis mrrriaga to Gertrude.— Sol. The Rev. W.M.

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 some of yon think of a few remarks which would be a propose to the occasion? 44 None could, and the silence was re¬ newed .—Chicago Times. 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 A ghastly story comes from Toron¬ to.
