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 nsane and her cries and curses are all the time upou the hell spirit RUM. — Blaine’s Goose Cooked. —At last the fighting is about to strike hye na Blaine, the slanderer and villifier of the Southern people, and unmask his rascalities.

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 you V* “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 lick’em with a whip?” “We seldom resort to pun'shuient here,” replied the embarrased tcacb/ er. “That’s letter yet,” continued the mother, “I know if Lindi wat to come home all pounded up I’d feel like killing someone.

Anoth er thing —now do you allow any wicks in g?” “What V' exclaimed the puzzled teach er. “Do you allow a boy to wink at a girl ?” asked the woman. “Why, no!” “Was afraid you did Linda is as shy as a rabbit with horns, and if she should come home some night and tell me she had been winked at, 1 don’t know what I’d do. Now, another thing —do you have a beau V* “Why—why —” was the stammered reply. “I think you do !” iesumed the wo man severely. “I know just how its works. When you should be explain ing what an archipe'ago is you are thinking of you r Richard, and your mind is way, way off!” “Rut madam—” Never mind any explanation,” inter rupted the woman. “I want Linda brought up to know joggerfy, figures, writing and spellography, and if you’ve got a beau and are spooling to the the ater one night, a candy pull the next, a horse iace,and so on, your mind can’t be on education. Conte Linda, we’ll go to some other school house.” And they j°gged. —Detroit Free Press. 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. When on American girl misses a croquet shot she says : “What a hor rid scratch,” and under similar circum stances the English girls remarks, “ A beastly riuke,” When they miss the shot and hit their toes the same sickly smile, and make precisely the same in j ward observation, which shows truly we have the same language, literature 1 and uervo. 11l Advance. Under the Stars. 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 min’s eye, Augustus Cissur, I cud jes’ see de little green angels wid blue wings a fairly wobblin’ on dme goldeu chairs 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* bons, and stuck up airs, an’ pull back, an’ big uiouf? ’Pears like sh*' t \o’t she was some ! If dere’s anything Ido ’spise, it’s a low pusson puttin’ ou airs ! She ain’t nobody, she ain’t in ’ciet”, she ain’t no Home Circle, ar she, fur a lack ?” “ 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 washin’ am at hand, Augustus, won’t yev jest hump an’ IVow yerself so’s we can get married come next Septuber, shuah? Will yer do it?” And Augustus answered as he squeez ed her hand : “Maria, I’ll hump an’ frow myself for shuah.” In the recent decision of the Supreme Court against the Constitutionality of the enforcement act Senator Morton has seen ob s tacles to the free working of his “bloody shirt” mill and “outrage” man ufactory. llis recent introduction of a supplementary bill to strengthen the weak places in the original act shows that the Indiana Senator and aspirant for the Presidential nomination in his 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.” — Dost n Post.

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.

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.
