O that. nted Duchain 1190 yé l So away to the tavern Tom went, where | for two or three. hours he felt the exlular« 1 ating effects of the alcoholic draught, and | fancied himsel{ happy, as he could sing and laugh ; but as usual, stupefaction folâ€" lowed, and the man died out. He | drank while he could stand, and then lay down in a corner, where his companions “left him. | It was late at night, almost midnight, | when the lafi@lord‘s wife came into the barâ€" | room to see what kept her husband up,and | quickly saw Tom. "Peter," said she, not in a ploasant \ mood, "why don‘t you send that miserable \Tom Darcey home 2 He‘s been hanging | about here long enough." For the Review Tom Darcey,yet a young iman,had grown to be a very bad one. At heart he might have been all right, if his head and his will had only been all right ; but these being wrong, the whole machine was going to the bad very fast, though there were times when the heart felt something ot its old truthful yearnings. Tom had lost his place as foreman in the great machine shop, and what money he now carned came from odd jobs of tinkering which he was able to do, here and there at private houses ; for Tom was a genius as well as a mechanie, and whon his head was stcady enough,he @ould mond a clock or clean a watch, as well as he could setup and regulate a steam enging â€"aud this latter he could do better than any ather man ever employed by the Seott Falls Manufacturing Company. One day ‘Tom had a job to mend a broken mowing machine and reagar, for which he received five dollars, and on the following morning he started out for his old hauntâ€" the village tavern. â€" He knew his wife sadâ€" ly needed the monéy, and his two little children were in absolute suffering from waut of clothing, and that morning he held a debate with the better part ef himaself ; but the better part of himself had become very weak and AW appetite carried the day. _ Tom‘s stupefaction was not sound sleep. . Tho dead coma had left the brain, avd ‘the calling of his name had stung his senses to keen attention. Me had an insane love for rum, but did not love tho landlord. In | other years Peter Tindar and himself had ‘; loved and wooed the sweet maidenâ€"Ellon Gossâ€"and he won her, leaving Peter to i take up with the vinegary spinster who had 'bougm him the tavern, and he knew that Ilately the tapster had gloated over the woâ€" man‘ who had once discarded him. l "Why don‘t you send him home ?" deâ€" {manded Mrs. Tindar, with an impatient { stamp of her foot. May joy attend theogis my pray‘r, And sunbeams ever round thee dart ; May God rscoive n jewel rare, * And may that jewel be thy heart. Dundalk, Jan, 26th, 1880. R "Hush, Betsei! He‘s got money. Let him be, and he‘ll be sure to spend it before he goos home. T‘ll have the kernel of the nut, and his wife may have the husk." With a snif and a snap Betsey turned away, and shortly afterward Tom Darcey lifted himself upon his elbow. "Ah, Tom, are you awake ?" **Yes." "Then run up and have a warm glass." Tom got upon his feet and steadied himâ€" self. night." "It won‘t hurt you, Tomâ€"just a glass." "I know it won‘t," said Tom, buttoning up his coat by the only solitary button left. #I know it won‘t." Aund with this he went out into the chill air of night. When he got away from the shadow of the tavern be stopped and looked up at the stars, and then he looked upon the cmth. "Aye," he mattsred, grinding his hool in the gravel. ~"Peter Tindaris taking the kernel and leaving poor Ellen the husk, and I‘m helping him to do it. I am robâ€" bing my wife of joy, robbing my edildren of honor and comfort, robbing myself of love and lifeâ€"juast that Peter Tindar may have the kernel and Ellen the husks, We‘ll sec." 3. It was a revelation to the man. The tavernâ€"keeper‘s brief speech, meant not for his ears, had come upon his senses as fell the voice of the Riten One upon Saul of Tarsus. "We‘ll see," he continued, setting his foot firmily on the ground ; and then he wended his way homeward. On the following motning he said to his Thy days are happy now fair maid, The sur of youth now dawns on thee, The hand of sorrow ne‘er hath laid Upon thy youthful brow, I a¢e. But who can tell what years may bring, The sun of youth doth quiekly set ; Stern sorrows then may round thee cling, And oft with tears thy eyes be wet. Or joys, perhaps, may be in store Larth‘s brightest flowor‘s may deck thy way, And sunbeams may forever more, Around theo shed a happy ray. Should sorrows come, my youthful friend, And waves of gri rund thee roll, I pray that God mu:mlon send, . And breatlis sweet peace into thy seul. "Elien, have> you any cohee in !"© house ?" f "Yes, Tom." .. She did not tell him that her sister had given it to her. She was glad to hear him ask for coffee instead of "No, Peter, I won‘t driuk any more toâ€" To a Young Friend. Only a Husk. POETRY any cofiee in There was really music in Tom‘s voice, and the wife set about the work with a strange flutter in her heart. Tom drank two cups of ~the strong, fraâ€" grant coffee, and then wont out~â€"went out with a resolute step, and walked straight to the great manufactory, where he found Mr. Seott in the office. "God bless you, Tom! You don‘t know Jhew like sweet musi¢ the old voice sounds. Will you take your place again ?" for the old, old cider. "I wish you would make a cup,good and strong." + "Mr. Seott, 1 want to learn my trade over again," f. "Eh, Tom! . What do you mean ?" "I mean that it‘s Tom Direey come back to the old place, asking forgiveness for the past, and hoping ‘to do better in the future." "‘Tom !" cried the manufacturer, starting forward and grasping his hand, "are youâ€"in earnest ? Itwis really the old Tom?" "It‘s what‘s left of ‘him, sir ; and we‘ll have him whole and strong very soon, if you‘ll only set him at work." â€""Work ! Aye, Tom, and bless you, too! Thera‘s an engine to be set up and tested toâ€"day. Come with me." Tom‘s hands were weak and unsteady, but his brain was clear, and under his skilful supervision t.hg:ugiue was set up and tested, but it was not perfeet, ‘There were mistakes which he had to correct, and it was late in the evening when the work was completed. * At the iittle cottage, Eilen Darcey‘s Lutâ€" t(’ing heart was sinking. That morning, after Tom was gone, shg had found a twoâ€" Jollar bill in her: coffee cup. She knew that he haid left it for her. She had been out and bought tea and sugar, and flour‘ and dutter, and a bit of tender steak ; and ‘ all day leng a ray of light had been dancing and skimming before herâ€"a ray from the WM& _ Wwith pmm‘ "How is ignow, Tom ?" asked Mr. Scott, as he came into the testing house and found the workmen ready to depart. "She‘s all right, sir. You may give your warrant without feat." COsE REKEEVWs e ntrant A coumimeniP n a P waited; but tha sua went dows and no Tom came. Eight o‘clock eame, and almost nine. Ob, was it but a faulse glimmer after all 2 "Wait till Monday morning, Sir. If you offer it to me then, I will take it." Hark ! The old step !â€"strong, ea, home. Yes, it was Tom, with the old upon his hands, and the odor of oi his garments. "I have kept you waiting, IKlen," "Tom |" 0n shop." "Yes. Aud I‘m t» have the old place, andâ€"" "Oh, Tom 1" And she threw her arms around his neck and covered his neck with kisses, "Ellen, dailing, wait a little, and you shall have the old Tom back agnin." "Oh, Tom. I‘ve got him nowâ€"bless him, bless him. My own ‘Tomâ€"my husâ€" band, my darling !" And then Tom, Darey realized the full power and blessing of woman‘s love. It was a banquet of the gods all restoredâ€" with the bright angels of perce and love and joy spreading their wings over the boards. On the following Monday morning, Tom Darcey resumed his place at the head of the great machine shop, and those who thoroughly knew him had nufear of his goâ€" ing back to the old slough and joyle ssness. A few days later Tom met Peter Tindar on the street. "Eh, Tom, old boy, what‘s up ?" "I‘m upâ€"right side up." "Yesâ€"I see. But I hope you haven‘t forsaken us, Tom ?" g "I have forsaken only the evil you have in store, Peter. The fact is, I concluded my wile and little ones had fed on husks long enough, and if there was a kernel left in my heart, or in my manhood,they should have it." "Ah, you heard what I said to my wite that night ?" "Yos, Peter ; and I shall be grateful to you for it as long as I live. My rememâ€" brance of you will always be relieved by that tinge of warmth and brightness." Exproston.â€"A despatch from Prince Arthur‘s Landing, Thunder Bay, says that about 5.45 a. m., on the 16th inst., the powder and glycerine works, which were situated about a mile from that place, and on the lake shore, were completely wreckâ€" ed owing to an explosion caused by a fire. The explosion made a "hole in the ground some ten feet deep and about fifty feet in diameter, and thrc wing earth and timber a distance of a quarter of a mile. â€" Fortumâ€" ately nobody was injured. Not a particle of the magazine can be found. From the position of the office and the mysterious way in which the magazine exploded, it is believed to have been the work of an incenâ€" diary. The loss t> the works, &¢., will aâ€" mount to about $3,000, and the damage done to the town property to ‘about $1,000, Nearly every building in the place was shattered in some way, and the shock was felt some ten miles away. 4 wevernl CILLZCHS UL ALRIIMMA MIRYW AERLEUOTC ly escaped death recently through partakâ€" ing of " high " "Tom, Tom.

Council | adjourned to mect at Towuship Hall on | Friday, the 20th day of February, 1880. b W. H. Ryax, Tp. Clerk. ._ "An article which appeared a few days ago in these columns relative to the disâ€" tress which exists amcug mochanies out of employment and others in the city, who are too honest to steal and to proud to beg, has been the means of doing some good. Beveral cases that we are aware of have been attended to and efforts made to put the families of the unfortunate men beâ€" | youd the reach of starvation. One of these !is worthy of being related.. It is that of a } l sober, industrious and honest workingman, whko has a good trade, but who has been. unable for nine months to secure anything like steady erfploymenit. He was too proud to let his cireumstances be known until a , few days ago when lre went to a friend and begged for food, not for himself but for his wife who had tasted nothing for twentyâ€" four hours and for his two children one of them six months old. â€" The friend who had had no suspicion of the true state of affairs found there was neither food nor fwel. ~The husbanrd and wife in their efforts to i' keep up appearauces had pawned an overâ€" coat, an undercoat, a shawl, a chain and a locket valued. by them at $40, for which | they obtained $4,75. This money had been l spent from time to time as raised, and as no more could be secured without taking | out of the house the very necessaries of 1 life, the mechanic in question reported his ease to his friend. That fmend having | offered immediate relef, went to the pawnâ€" | shop to redeem some of the articles there: He found that on the overcoat on whicl only $1 75 had been advanced, though it cost more than $20, the charges wern $2 75. This was startling enough, but a more z presence of a large pile of overcoats and | other elothing in excellent repair sent froni | all parts of the city. The assertion that there is more suffering and less work this | winter than last is amply borne out by | | evidence at hand. One of our foundrics | which Lhas been shut down for a whole: l month only reâ€"opened last Baturday. , Other shops are working five days in the | week or shors time by the day. There are | many deserving families in straits for want | of the opportunity of the breadâ€"winner to | sccure employment. It is said that there !nev(-r were more applications to the city |for food and fuel and that a respectable class of people never seen there before, 5 now frequent the soup kitchen. The subâ€" ’ject is a painful one, so painful, indeed, that it is to be hoped there will be a change { for the better soon. The fiseal policy | which was to do so much for the country, even before it was brought into effect, has now been nearly a yenr in force, yet the times are harder, cmployment difficult to get, wages lower and the suffering greater than at any time under Mackenzie. Many a man who helped to vote Mr. Mackenzie out of power rues it toâ€"day, and would, if he had a echance, make the score even by assisting to pitch the Macdonald Admimâ€" stration out of cfiice and bring back an en« lizhtened and fair minded Government." Fischer, That Reeve, First Deputy Reeve and Treasurer be appointed to negotiate for purchase of debentures, and if requisite to proceed to Stratford for such purpose.â€"y "N. P." alias National Policy. We commend to the earnest attention of those who favour the National Policy the following article from the Hamilton Times: Horxixa‘s Miuus.â€"We regret to chron«. icle the death of Wm. Airth, Esq., Reeve of Melancthon, who died at his residence at Horning‘s Mills on Monday, from asthâ€" ma. The deseased geutleman was one of the oldest and most respected residents in the townslup, having located there when it was nofhing better than a wilderness. For many years he has occupied a promiâ€" nent position in all public affairs connected with the township, being for a long time dep.â€"reove, and at the last municipal electâ€" ion was elected reeve by acclamation. During all the lJong years of his residence there ho vas always known as an honorable and upright msn, a friend to all in distress, apd n kind and considerate husband and father. His loss is decply mourned by the whole community. â€" The funeral took place on Thursday, and was very largely attended.â€"Orangeville Advertiser, Tuz Port Hope Guide says.â€"We cannot but smile when a man says he cannot afforga to take his local paper because he wants to take a city paper. He might just as well say he cannot afford bread because he intends having sponge cale. Meanwhile he has to ask his neighbor about the local news and noâ€" tices, and the local paper goes on building up place and business, and serving his convenâ€" ience without support. This is not manly, and. we say without hesitation that there is something out of joint with the man who does not support his local paper.
