Oh, my God ! dead--shot to the heart by the monster she called her husband I Large drops of agony stood on the Rector's brow, and he covered his face with his hands; when he raised them again, his daughter started back, for he was ashen pale, and his lips trembled with emotion. - But he went en with his story; he Ned nerved the task; there was too much at stake to cease now --even his daughter's happiness. 'This dreadful act, done in a fit of drunken madness, restored him to his senses. He threw himself ou the ground wildly, and called upon the name of the dead wife who had loved him so 'tenderly and borne so patiently with him. But to® late, tgo late ! the pure spirit had winged its flight above, and the drunkard's wife had found rest and peace in heaven. Long and loud wails went up from the stricken man's heart; he kissed frantically the pale checks; he implored forgiveness for the past, and for this dreadful deed; but though the wan lips smiled on, they made no answer. '0, my God, my God !" cried the rector, clasping his thin hands, 'I thank thee that thou dids't, at length pour peace into this miserable man's heart for nowhere could he have found it but in thee. . It was decreed that he should drink more deeply of the cup of suffering. When the fearful deed was bruited abroad, Clarence Med way was arrested and thrown into prison.

Then his eyes were opened, and he saw what a bitter wrong the drunkard does not only to himself, but all who have the misfortune to love him.

At the time appointed they went. The cow was bought. Mr. Kingsley said he would be surety for Mr. Longley. Un the way home Mr. Longley stopped at the store and got a large card and a piece of ribbon. He wrote something on the card, and fastened it on the horn by the ribbon. Bessie's mother had sent her on an errand, so that she was not at home when the cow came. On her return she looked out into the yard, and sdw the cow standing chewing her cud.

His friends had taken o sad and sélemn fare- well of him, and now all that was left for him to do was to mount the scaffold and give his life for that precious life he hed taken.' 3 The rector shuddered, and his thin fingers grasped nervously the hand of his daughter that lay on his lap. ¢ It was a lovely day, full of balm and beauty, when a gloomy procession moved from the prisun. The gallows was reached and the hangman stood ready to nsher the soul into eternity. There was a breath- less silence; the crowd stood around, some pitying the poor wretch whom: the demon drink had - brought to this fearful end.

He was removed by his friends from the scene, and in a quiet home they nursed him lovingly through the long fit of illness that ensued, they uttered no 'reproaches, for well they knew that his poor heart was tortured by the keenest of all reproaches, self-rejroach. When he recovered, taking his precious child with him, he left the beautiful shores of England for ever. 'Ho selected a secluded village in America for his heme, and the grace of God having visited his heart, he studied for the ministry and was adunitted to orders. On one subject (for they knew not lijs fearful history) the people among whom he lived called him crazy, and that was the subject of Temperance. His heart was stisred to its depths when he saw the monster drink raging through the great Republic, blasting with his firey breath the sweet fluwers of home; laying bright hopes low; breaking hearts and destroying reputatfns; killing the body and ultimately murdering the soul. This man went forth the sworn champion of temperance, im- ploring men for the sake of the God who btai don; petitions were sent to made them, for the sake of the fyicnds who seldom knew of an ungratified wish, and was always gay and lighthearted. Imarried world beside. Our home was retired, but the sun never shone un a lovelier one or heppier hovsehold. Years rolled on peace- fully.

One night about sundown one of those black storms ¢ame on which are so common to our southern climate; For many hours the rain poured down intess-, antly. Morning dawned; but still the dwelling became a raging torrent. Before we were aware of it our house was sur- rounded by water. I managed with my babe to reach a little elevated spot, on which a few wille-spreading trees were standing, whose dense foliage afforded some protection, while my husband and sons strove to save what they could of our property. At last a fearful surge swept away my husband, and he never rose again. Ladies, no one ever loved a husband more, but that was not trouble. " ' Presently my son saw their danger, and the struggle for life became the only consideration. They were as brave, loving boys as ever blessed a mother's heart, and 1 watched their efforts to escape with such an agony as only mothers can feel. They were so far off I could not speak to them, but I could see them closing nearer and nearer each other as their little island grow smaller and smaller. ¢ The sullen river raged around the huge trees; dead branches, upturned trunks, wrecks of houses, drowned cattle masses of rubbish all went floating past us.
