U.lealll’ 111 IHIIII’ ■ •Till good, became More universal; If Custom, g?ay with ages grown, lfad fewer blind men to adore it If talent shone In Truth alone. The werld would be the better for it. If men were wise in little things— Affecting less in all their dealings; If hearts had fewer rusted strings To iusolate their kindly feelings; If men, when Wrong beats down Right, Would strike together and restore it— If Right made Might In every fight. The world would be the better for it. Oh, they are precious to my heart, My chosen friends, the few Who guard me with affections's eye, Who blame and bless me too; Whose hearts keep echoiug loudly back, In lov’s eternal tone, The joys, the hopes, the thoughts, the tears, That tremble iu my toue. To meet the sweet confiding smiles. Bright with affection’s dew, To feel that I am with the meek, The pure in heart, the true! To look into their earnest eyes, Where thoughts the purest dwell— Au angel’s harp on angel’s tongue, Alone such bliss can tell; And oh, when abseut, how I lore To call to mind the past, To count o'er every word they spake Before we parted last; To gather up each look or tone, And number every smile, TUI 1 am lost amid the gems That gleam on memory’s isle. My friends, they are not many, yet I know their hearts are true— Ah, sweeter than the praise of all Is friendship from the few ? I’d rather live in kindred hearts, To glory quite unknown, Than hold a nation iu command. Than fill a friendless throne. And e’en if some should turn aside, And charge, as friends have done, They should not perish from my heart, Oh no, uot one! not one! Love is too mighty in my soul To wear oblivion's pall; And if 1 had a thousand hearts I’d love, aye, with them all. THE WIFE’S REPLY. Thou askest me what offerings bright From climes beyond the 9ea. Thou may’st collect with loviug pride, To lavish upon me ? I seek not costly gems to grace My brow .’ thou say’st ’tis fair— And if it be, why. love, should I Thy glance with jewels share? Why speakest thou of Orient pearls To lay upon my breast? 1 have a treasure dearer far, Aud fitter there to rest; Thy child and mine my bosom claims.

They had begun to realize more than they had seen in the 1 visions of hope, when in an evil hour, the husband was tempted, to ‘look upon the wine when it was red,’ and i to tast of it ‘when it gives color in the i cup.* The charmer fastened around i its victim all the serpent spells of its s sorcery, and he fell, and at every step ‘ of his rapid degredation from the man i to the brute, and downward, a heart : l ßtring broke out in the bosom of his companion. Fianlly, with the last spark of hope flickering on the alter of her heart, she threaded her way iifto one of those shambles where a man is made such thing as beast of the field would bellow at. She pressed her way through the Bacchanalian crowd who were revelling there in their own ruin. With her bosom full of that perilous stuff that presses upon the heart, she stood before the plunderer of her hus bands destiny and exclaimed in tones of startling anguish, ‘Give me back my husband. ‘There’s your husband/ said the man as he pointed to the prostrate wretch. •That my husband!’ What have you done with him ?’ That my hus band f What have you done to that noble form/ that once like a giant oak, held its projecting shade over the frag ile vine that clung to it for support and shelter?

Reserve your basilisk spells, and give back that man that stood with me by the altar.’ The rumseUer, ever since the first demijohn of that burning liquid was open on our shores, has been saluted at every stage of the traffic with just such appeals as these. Such wives such widows and mothers, such fatherless children as never mourned in Israel at the massacre of Bethlehem, or at the burning of the temple, have cried in his ears, morning, night, and evening. Give me back my husband !—Give me back my boy !—Give -me back my brother ! But has this rumseller been cori f >ui and :d or|speechless at these appeals ? No ! not he. He could show his cred entials at a moment's notice with proud dehance. He always carried in his pocket a written absolution lor all he had done and could do in this work of destruction.

Why the whole artillery of civil power was ready to open in his defence and support. Thus shielded by the AEgis of the law he had nothing to fear from the enemies of the traffic.
