Selections. ~ PPP AA ALR AAAI . WAS HE A MURDERER. “ Come in, Tom, and have something.” “ No, thank you, Randall, I gness not; I don't feel the need of anything; and be- sides, I don’t often drink at all, now.” The speaker hesitated somewhat while enunciating this sentence, and fingered the chain of his watch in rather s nervous manner, ** Well, I'm glad to hear you've given up the use of drink,” responded the first speaker; “‘for to tell the truth, I have known the time when you tovk rather more than was geod for you.” ** Randall, when I took the first drep, I took more than was good for me—don't you know that!” * Oh, I don't know but a man’s just as well without it, if he thipks so,” was the reluctant evasive reply. ‘But I always take a drink when I want to, and am none the worse for it." Yes, ‘sir; if I feel like taking a drink of liquor, I go and take it!” A not over pleasant silence ensued, and lasted for a few minutes. Thetwo men were standing upon the steps of ane of those foul pest holes which may be found in neatly every village of our soil—a cheerless, uninviting sort of the far West, on a brief visit to his native village, and this evening, while walking along the street near the spot spoken of, had met Thomas Perkins, a former warm friend. To avoid the passers upon the sidewalk, they had stepped up nearer the den, and the sentences_we have chronicled were the closing ones of a conversation that had lasted for several minutes. It was plain: to see that Randall was displeased at the hesitating refusal of his former comrade, and he did not endeavor to conceal his pique when he spoke again. ** We used to drink ‘together when we met, Tom,” he remarked, “and you en- back the memories of former days.” Oh, Thomas Perkins, for a moment of true moral courage now!—for power tp say dozen packs of cards, and a few sickly- looking articles of kindred nature. Near the end of the counter stood a to catch the mysterious and nods by which principally his Althongh it was jot yet dusi’, some half a. dozen men snd'boys, ranging in age from twelve to sixty, were séated upon'a keeping up a vigorous fire of tobacco juice upon the nearly cold stove, Two or three of the party recognized Randall when he entered, and sprang up to shake his ever ready hand. The re- mainder continued to fill the stifling air yet more closely with noxious tobacco fumes. While exchanging greetings with his newfound acquaintances, Randall moved behind the screen, and followed by Perkins. “Well, Tom, what'll you take?” “*] leave it all to you,” was the answer “Call for what. you like—I'll take the same,” “Well, then, in honor of your good habits, we'll take something particular mild. Lets have some porter,” fhe dark, vile-tasting compound was placed before them, and Randall drank his off at once; Perkins raised the glass, hesi- tated, while his hand trembled. Oh, that some merciful power could have given hin agglimpee,through the dark li- quid, the fearful future which lay be- yond! But even then it might: be too late. If alono, outside the building, he dared not refuse the persuasions of mis- | taken friendship, he surely would not find greater strength now, in the midst of those vile associations. The liquor was swallowed, and cigars pi : lighted. By this time several of those present had joined Perkins, and were per-. suading him to join in a game of baga- telle. “Come on,” they urged, “its dull as home for bed.” Thomas Perkins was'no longer master of himself. The porter had done its work, just as surely as rum or. gin would have done it. The old appetite was revived with all its recklessness, and he cared no longer for home, honor, or marhood, Randall could act remain, for he had another engagement, but he drank anoth er glass with all his friends, and hurried on, a steed = eee y appliancesfor ruiningmen, endyery soon Perkins had forgotten all, Save excitcment of the game. An hour passed, drinks had been taken often, and Thomas had now no. control of himself. All at once it seemed to him that there'was some occasion for a fight, and hé at once began striking out rightand left; not very particular as to whom he made the subject of his assaults. It was but a natural consequence that he was very soon afterward gathering him- self up from the gutter in front of the saloob, bruised, bleeding, hatless, watch- horribly confused. He had merely sense enough to know that he was in no condi- “T ain’t drunk,” he muttered; I haint’ been drunk for three years, and I only drinked once or twice, jest long of nf- friend Randall.

This ain't over with, not if my name is Tom Perkins, I'll see if I'm to be abused that way!” He reached home in a short time, fol- lowed by a crowd of idle boys and men, for three years, as all had hoped never to return again. The wife and mother sat by | the work table, busily sewing, while her self-denial were forgotten—his. earnest striving after a fuller and nobler manhood his many resolves that he never would “Qh, I don't mind drinking with you,” he said in a half apologetic tone; “if it was anybody else I wouldn't, because I have been on my good behavior these three years, and I—I-——” He was going to say that he felt mind was filled with pleasant memories and happy thought, A promising boy of eight was sitting be- side his mother, studying the morrow's satisfactorily as the mother.

A chair was within arm’s length, and this the madman hurled at his son. tus » With a sharp cry the poor boy fell upon the floor, while Perkins, now apparently transformed into a fiend, struck him blow after blow.
