Somebody called for spirits, and then others called for Spirits; there was a good deal drunk amongst. ’em, one way or t’other. Ninepencc ofit was an old score ,which he owed. What was to be done about the landlord ? was her next ominous question. He must let her have all that he had remain- ing. Oh, yes! he would let her have it, he returned full of contrition, and they sat down to dinner pretty peacefully.

The public-houses were open, and in passing the Leopard he saw some of his acquaintance sitting at its window. He went in “only just to speak with them,” for his pricking conscience was whispering a warning; but they looked so comfortable and cosy with their pipes and jugs, that his old and unhappy failing seized irresistible hold of him, and down he sat, and called for a pipe 0’ bacCa and a pint 0’ mild ale. Others dropped in,one by one, till at length the room was pretty full. He sat there till nine at night~-he was unable to tear him» self awayâ€"â€"and then went home. He had not toped himself into the state of the previ- ous evening; by no means; and he would have asserted that he was perfectly sober, but he had further diminished his scanty stock of money» His wrfe, in towering in» dignation, had been fretting and scolding away her Sunday evening in a most unhappy frame of mind, and a loud and bitter quarre[ cldsed it, Which the children woke'up to hear. And thus it went on; and that man,“Who ought‘to have kcpthis family in comfort, sunk them, 'week by week; into deeper por- erty. Such were thc'existing circumstances with the majority of the workingmen of East- borough.- Before she seemed to have Closedrh‘er eyes, the children were awake and noisy, as chil- dren like to be. Fatigued and unrefreshedi, she got up, he lying on, like a clod; and tell- ing her children to be 'still in bed, for their father was not well, she prepared to go oit. But first of all, she looked into her husband’s pockets, painfully anxious as to theiamount she might find there. His wages were fif- teen shillings a week, it- has been said'that he was only an inferior workman; and she hunted out six-and-sevenpence-halfpenny. With a sensation of despair, she examined on, but there was no more. Threeâ€"and-four- pence-halfpenny gone in one night!

In vain she tried to get him to bed: he lighted his pipe, and savagely ordered her to go out and buy beer, being with difficulty made to understand that the taps were closed for the night. He would sit on, and he did; now dozing, now taking a few winds at- the pipe, and now breaking out into half-connected sentences of abuse.â€" She poor, weary woman, was oblige to sit with him: left to himsell, he might get burnt, or set the house on fire: not only for thatâ€"â€" he would not permit her to ge; he never did, when he was in that state.

Nobody'seemed to be remembering the tea hour, or herown exhausting patience, of which she had not a‘great stock. Her two sons were off somewhere; they had grown into line youths, almost young men, and they had wills of their own. Their tastes for. wine had grown also: the Sunday glass of wine was now a daily one, and they had beâ€" gun to say it was not enoughâ€"they should. like two. Mr. Danesbury was surprised and hurt; he rarely tool: more than one himself, and he said, No! But as soon as his‘beck was turned, they helped themselves to the extra one, and Mrs. Danesbury sanctioned it: what harm, thought she, could two glasses of" wine do strong, growing lads ? 3 The first to enter the room, and encounter; Mrs. anesbury’s impatience, was Isabelnâ€"l No longer a girl, but-an elegant young wofi man, with a refined countenance and winning j manner. ‘ “Where have'you been 1?”. sharply began Mrs. Danesbury.’f _ ‘ ' .“ Is it late ?'

They seem to have set themselves against coming into the works: and you uphold them, Eliza.” In a village near Newark, England, in an old thatched house, which has been occupied by the family for nearly 300 years, lives an old man who has nearly completed his eight- y-sixth year. A person who had occasiOn to‘ visrt hrm the other day, was not a little sur- prised on hearing the old gentleman, in course of conversation, express his belief that he was not only going to heaven, but had been there once since his first introduci- tion into this world. From the account he gives ofthe matter, it appears that when he was about eleven years of age, he was in an apparently lifeless state-which he20alled a tranceâ€"Jar the space of nine days, and it was during that iime that he thinks he was permitted to behold the glories of heaven.â€" :His parents fully believed him to be dead ; the passing bell was rung; his coffin was or- dered and made ; and on the third day his friends assembled for the purpose of follow: ing him to the grave. The clergyman of the parish went to look at the supposed corpse before the coffin lid was screwed on, and finding it to be warm, he at once expressed the opinion that the child was not dead, and after ordering the postponement of the funeral sent his servant on horseback for a doctor, who, on arriving at the house confirmed the assertion of the minister, and instructed the boy’s mother to moisten the boy’s lips with, wine and water twice a day. Since that time his health has been delicate, but he has continued to occupy his grazing land adjoin- ing his cottage, and has kept COWS after the. manner of his forefathers. An extraordinary belief exists among the Druses of the mountain, namely, that there are Akkals of their creed in the hills of Scot- land, who, on account of the dominant reliw gion, are obliged to profess Christianity out-1 wardly, but who amongst themselves are as" pure Druses‘ of the initiated class as any that exist in Lebannon. After learning that i was a Scotchman, Druses have often questioned me as to whetherI was aware that members cf their creed existed in that country. The. tradition appears to have been handed down to the present generation from the days of the. Crusades, and to have got mixed up with the. Template, who existed formerly in certain parts of Europe ; {or certain ceremonies which the Syrian Druses say are practised by their Scottish brethren bear a close resemblance to those of the old Knight Templars. But it is more than likely still, that this is one of the reasons of their affinity to the Chinese, that amongst the Druses, as among the other semi- civilizedalations, certain affiliations and signs 01 freemaaonryhave crept in, and they have formed the idea that where traces of the same Society exist, the people hold the same relis gious creed.--0nce a Week. “Yes,” answered Mrs. Danesbury. “I wish them to choose professions: not busi- ness.
