THE REASON WHY.
One drink because he’s very dry,
As we are often told ; '
Another must a tankard take
Because lie’s very cold.
Another drinks because lie’s wet,
Its benefits to try ;
And forthwith to a bar-room goes,
.And quaffs a pint of rye.
Another must a bargain make,
And have a glass to strike it
While one and all the liquor take,
Because, in fact, they like it.
A TEMPERANCE STORY.
BY NED BUNTZINE.
“ Char les, will you do me a great fa
vor '{”
It was Irene Grey, who thus address
ed her only brother, a fine, manly look
ing young man, whose dress and carri
age told his puition to be that of’ a
gentleman in the common acceptation
of the term.
It was the day before the New Year
holiday of 1870.
“ \ 7 es, dear sister, if in my power
You know it is ever a joy to me to add
to your pleasure when I can. What is
now ? Do you wish me to
escort you to the theatre or a ball ?"
“ No, dear brother it is this: Do not
make any New Year’s calls to-mor
row.”
Heavens, Irene ! You astonish me.
What possible harm is there in this dear
old custom of visiting one’s lady fri *r<ds,
and wishing them a happy New
Year ?”
*• Charles, do you remember in what
condition you came, or rather how vou
were brought home last New Y'ear’s day,
and the long terrible sickness which fol
lowed V’
“No sister ; nor the tender care whu h
most likely saved my life, for you were
the watcher bv my side. But sweet one
I signed the pledge at your request as
soon s I got well. I have kept it ever
since, for 1 feel as you feel that my char
acter and very life both depend on total
abstinence from alcoholic drink.”
“ Charles, you signed and so
far with Jod’s help have kept the pledge.
But to-morrow will be a day of terrible
temptation. Wine and hot punches will
disgrace many a table where you would
visit, fair lips will tempt you to taste,
ant. —”
Stop one moment, dear Rene—do
you think any lady will ask me to break
my pledged word
“ Charles —you will find even as I
have found, among our acquaintances
those who will laugh at what they term
the folly of abstinence, the far atieisui
of temperance. You will be pressed to
take one here, or on j there, and then ex
cited by a single drop, wi'l become the
tyrant, and you are lost.”
‘•Nonsense, dariing sister ! I am firm !
I will make my usual calls and show
them all that lam aid will be a man.”
••Charles —1 tremble for the result
At least, promise me not to go to the
house of i\lr. Tiushop.”
“ Why sister—of all places not to
neglect that is the one. I don’t think
much of old Tinshop, for he is a whisky
bloat; but I love Flora, and she loves
me. We are as good as engaged now,
were I not tc call on her, it would seem
a cruel insult.”
Ah, Charles, you know as well as
I, that the tub 1 e there will contain the
deadly temptation, and that her lather
will laugh at your scruples, and that
his pet and heiress, will have to coincide
in his views ”
“ Yet, for all ihat my sister, I will,
for in keeping it I know existg all my
safety. If I break it, honor, character,
all tl an ake life worth possessing, will go.
l)o not fear for me I love you and I
will not swerve from the path you open
ed out for me when I lay upon my sick
bed.”
She said nc more. She saw that ar
gument was useless ; she could but pray
to her Heavenly Father to save the
brother of her love from a drunkard’s
grave.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
“ Ah, here comes a welcome visitor,
Floe,’’ cried Mr. Tinshop, whe'' Charles
Grey entered his parlors on that New
Year’s Day. “ Mr. Grey lam glad to
see you.”
“ Charles, you are very very wel
come !” was the warm tender greeting
of Flora, as she clasped his extended
hand in both hers.
“Dear Flora, I came to wish you a
happy New Year, and I never saw you
look so lovely as rov! Ob, how beauti
ful you are.” *
This was said in a low tone, for Mr.
Tinshop, at that moment, was busy at
the table.
He came to them a tnoment after,
with a silver salver in his hand. On it
three glasses of sparkling wine stood,
but two visible.
“ Here is to a hundred New l'ear’s
as bright as this !” cried Mr. Tinshop.
as Flora took one glass and he anoth
er.
“ Hardly can we expect a hundred,
but I will say many ” said Flora with a
smile.
“Why, Charlie, what’s the matter?
You do not touch your glass,” said Mr.
Tinshop. “ You’re not sick ?”
No, sir, but I signed the pledge
about eleven mouths ago and have kept
it ever since.”
“ Pshaw, I did not dream that you
were such a spoony. I believed you to
be a young man of spirit and manly in
dependence. As such I have r<juiced
to see an apparent attachment springing
up between you and Flora. But if you
arc uuc who can sign -way your owa
‘‘Truth Conquers All Things.”
rights and privileges and join a fanat
ical crusade against the luxuries of life,
I hope you will forget each other as soon
as you ean."
This was spoken in a tone and with
an expression which brought from Flora
a tearful look and a word of rernon*
strance.
“ Oh, papa, do not ask me to forget
him. He loves me.”
“Not enough to even dr : nk your
health on a day like this, when all tne
world is rejoicing.”
“ Y 7 es, yes, he does,” and now Flora
with a look of unspeakable tenderness,
whispered :
“Dear Charlie humor him. Just
one glass for my love. Y"ou know that
you are mere than life to me.”
“ l r our love, Flora. Oh, I would die
for you.”
And the young man gazing into her
eyes, no longer hesitated.
He raised the glass.pledged her health
and wished her happiness.
“ Ah, that is courage,” cried Mr.
Tinshop. “ I thought your mauhood
had not perished. Now you suit me.
I can’t endure these milk sops who call
themselves temperance men. Take an
other glass Charlie, and the color will
come tc your cheeks and the fire to
your eye. FiU our glasses once more
while we are in the humor-”
* Oh, Charlie—how kind it was in
you !” she said as with his second glass
emp’edshe stood by his side while her
father went to attend to the brewing of
some pu .ch.
“ It was for your love," he murmur
ed. “ Aud since you rejoice Ido not
regret it. Will you excuse me now ?
I shall make but a few calls aud then
go home.”
“Do not go home Charlie, but return
here to spend the evening.”
“I will, if you desire it, Flora ”
He was g.ne and Floro now had
her hands full in receiving new viai
tors.
* * * * *
“ Fapa what has become of Charlie
Grey, lie has not been here since Now
Year's morning and he promised to
come back that same evening.”
It vas Flora Tinshop who asked that
question, and it was thes-cond week
in Janury when she asked it.
“ I heard to-day that ho was very
sick dangero"sly ill !” said the father
unguarded, for he did not know how
deep the daughter lovtd.
“ Dangerous !” she screamed. “Dan
gerous, and I not near him, why father,
dear father, take me to his house in
stant y. I shall die —I shall if he
dies.”
Raving wildly, Flora dressed for the
street, and taking no denial, she forced
her father to escort her to the residence
of Widow Grey.
Trembliog from head to foot, father,
and daughter stood upon the door steps,
when they rung the bell at the house,
for the hand that rung the bell at the
house touched the crape which denoted
death within.
The door wa; opened by Irene Grey.
Her face was white with grief till she
saw who was there, then a fiuh
came upon it.
She did not speak, but she opened
the duor for them to enter, aud she
pointed to the parlor.
They went in,father and daughter, and
the next instant with a wild aouUhar
rowing shriek, Flora bent over the cof
fin which held all that was left of
Charles Grey.
The day before he had died of deliri
urn tremens.
Shrieks after shrieks broke from the
lips of Flora as the full conviction came
to her hears, and she cried out iu the
agony of her sonh
“Lie loved me ! he loved me 1”
“Yes—to his death ! ’ said his sister
sternly.
Then turning to Mr. Tinshop, said
said in low tones.
“Murderer! behold your victim ! you
made him break his pledge and there he
lies. A widow’s curse is on your head.
His mother is on her death bed heart
broken. I, soon to be an orphan, and
and now brotherless, through you, add
my curse to hers. Take your child
and—”
Wm.Tinshow could not take his child
alone fron that room. She was a raving
maniaejand it took strongmen to tear her
away lroui the coffin of the loved and
lost.
She now raves in an asylum fcr the

She was at one of the union school
houses half an hour before school open
ed. She had “Linda" with her. She
was a tall woman forty years old, with a
jaw showing great determination, and
“Linda” was sixteen, and rather ishy and
pretty good looking. The mother said
she hadn’t been in the city long, and
that it was her duty to get “L'nda” into
school and see that she was properly ed
ucated. When the teacher came, the
mother boldly inquired :
“You know enough to teach do

“I think I do,” replied the teacher,
blushing deeply.
“And you feel competent to govern the
scholars ?”
“ Y es’em.”
“Do you pmnd 'em with a ferrule, or

“We seldom resort to pun'shuient

llow the O ester Builds Ilis
Shell.
Mr. Frank Buckland, who conveys
instruotoin more agreeably than any
naturalist of the day, thus explains the
manner in which an oyster buil is his
shell. The body of an oyster is a poor,
weak thing, apparent y incapable of do
ing anything at all. Yet what a mar
vellous house an oyster builds around
his delicate frame. When an oyster is
first born he is a very simple, delicate
dot, as it were, and yet he is born with
his two shells upon him. For souife un
known reason he always fixes himself on
his round shell, never by his flat shell,
and being once fixed he begins to grow
—but he only grows in summer. In
spect an oyster shell closely, and it will
be seen that it is marked with distinct
lines. As the rings we observe in the
trunk of a tree denote years of growth,
so do the markings on an oyster tells-us
how many years he has passed in Lis
“ bed ” at the bottom of the sea.
Suppose the oyster under inspection
was born June 16, 1870, he would go
on growing up to the first line we soo
well marked ; he would theu stop for
the winter. In summer, 1871, he would
more than double his size. In 1872 he
would again add t> his house. In lcs73
and 1874 he would again go on builds
ing, till he w r as dredged up in the mid
dle of his work in 18<5; so that he is
plainly five and a ha'f years old.
The way in which an oyster gro vs his
shell is a pretty sight. I have watched
it frequently. The beard of an oyster
is nut only .iis breathing organ, i. e.
his lungs, but also his feeding organ, by
which he conveys the food to his com
plicated mouth with its four lips. When
the warm, calm days of June come, the
oyster opens his shell, and by means of
his beard begins building an additional
story to his house. This he does by
depositing very, very, fine particles of
corbonate of lime, ti ! l at last they form
a substance as thin as silver paper, and
exceeding fragile. '1 hen he adds more
and more, till at last the ne.v shell is as
hard as the old shell. When oysters
are growing their shells they must be
handled very carefully, as the new
growth of shell will cut like broken
glass, and a wound on the finger from
an oyster shill is often very poisonous.

They were going home at about elev
en o’clock from a week-day evening
meeting*of the Chuireh (colored). He
was reticent, his sable countenance ex
hibiting rigidity of lines wnich should
mark the sterner sex, but she was talk
ative, and her conversation showed her
interest in those three topics dear to the
hearts of femininty all round the world
—religion, other woman’s dress, matri
mony. The heavy trample, trample of
his number eleven arui} shoes on tho
Eleventh street sidewalk kept time to
the music of her voice as she prattled
feelingly :
** Oh. Augustus Ca>ar, ’pears like I
neber did seem to so enjoy religion as I
did this ebenin*. How de preacher did
jist spread out de gospel over us, like
lasses on hot cake, for shuah ! In my

see de little green angels wid blue wings

fur happy ! War not it splendiffer
ou? ?”
“ Vis, Mariar, it wur splendiferous.”
There followed the spat spat of four
he ivy feet upon the pavement for a few
moments and then the conversation was
resumed :
“ An’ oh, Augustus Caesar, did yer
see dat lowodown, ornory cullud lemale,
Hester Ann Lee, wid her flamin’ rib*

an’ big uiouf? ’Pears like sh*' t \o’t she

She ain’t nobody, she ain’t in ’ciet”,
she ain’t no Home Circle, ar she, fur a

“ No, Mariar, she ain’t no Home Cir
cle fur a fuck.”
The splash, splash, of four feet ensu
ed, as a wet, crossing was reached and
passed, and once again the thread of
speech was taken up. This time the
tones were tender .'
“Augustus Cmsar, as de preacher has
done tole us seberal times ter night, life
am fleetin’ at de best. It’z uios’ spring
now, Augustus, an’ de season of white

And Augustus answered as he squeez

party learns no lessons ot progress or
statemanship from the events of the time.
He wastes his time in foolish and imprac
ticable suggestions that show but one
aim and that a selfish and wholly per
sonal one. The working of the enforce
ment aot has been arbitrary aggressive
and tyannical. It has uot been used
as a weapon of justice but as a part of a
political machine; and many who rej ic
ed at its passage have been so thorough
ly ashamed of the service to which it
has been put that the declaration of
unconstit tionality was a relief to the
more honest of ts original friends. What
is worse than useless in itself Mr. Morton
wishes to patch up for his own use in
another campaign. It is nothing to
him that he is wasting time upon an
un necessary measure that the great ma\
jorityof the people positively object to ;
he expects to have need of the principle
of enforcement, and he wants it in work
ing order, as be says, “at this session.” —

discourse of any kind, involving tho
wraugle of argument or the tediousness
of long uarative and stolid sermonizing,
should be banished from the table and
be reegted to the political hull, the bar,
the uewspap r-uthiCc, and tho puipit,

led food, - ’ says the old proverb, “is half
digested,’' and there is no doubt that
quiet and dis greeable conversation at
u eals increases enjoyment and facilitates
digestion. The crisp remark, the brisk
banter, ihe tart gossip, the S'dcy anec..
dote, the sparkling wit and bubbling
humor, when served up in the intervals
between the various courses of a meal,
have all the exhileraiiug effect of wine
without its dangers, prevent dull pauses,
and sustain that lively flow of the ani
mal spirits so favorable to the due per
formance of every function, especially
that of the stomach ud its associated
organs. The intrusion, however, of se
rious discourse and topics of business
requiring deep thought and awakening
grave lefiections or uuxiuus emotion, is
fatal to good digestion.
A Revolutionary Incident.
A most thrilling remiscencir of the
American Revolution is related of Gen.
Muhlenberg, whose ashes repose in the
old Trappe Church, Montgomery coun
ty, Virginia.
When the war broke out, Muhlenberg
was a rector of the Prot stant Epis o*
pal Churcn in Dunmore county. On
a Sunday morning ho administered the
communion of the Lord’s Supper to his
charge, stating that in the afternoon of
that daj he would prea~h a sermon on
“The duties men owe to their country.”
At the appointed time the building was
crowded with anxious list-urns. Tho
discourse was founded on a text from
Soloman, “ There is a time for every
purpose and for every work.” Tho
sermon burned with patriotic fire ; ev -
ery seusence and intonation to!d the
speaker,s deep earnestness in what he
was saying. Pausiug a moment at the
close of his discourse, ho repeated tho
words of his text, and then, in tones of
thunder, exclaimed : “ The time to
preach is past; the time to fight has
come !” and suiting the action to the
word he threw from his
shoulders his robes, and stood before the
congregation in military uniform.—
Drummiug for recruits was commenced
on the spot, and it is said that almost
every male in the congregation enlisted
forthwith.
