‘Bit J. G. wiitrtrteit.
He had bowed down to drunkenness.
Art abject worshipper;
'l'ht-. pride ofmarthood‘s pulse had grown
Too faint and cold to stir ;
And he ltad given ltis spirit up
To the unblcssed thrall.
Artil bowing to the poison cup.
He gloried in his fall!
There came a change, the cloud rolled 05;
And light ft-ll oit his brain—
And like the passing ofa dream
. That cometh not again.‘
Tltr-. shadow ofthe spirit fled,
He saw the gulf before,
He shddered at the waste’ behind-
And was a MAN once more.
He shook the serpent fold.-i away
That gathered rottnd his lteart
As shakes the swaying forest oak,
Its poison vine apart:
He stood erect—-returning pride
Grew terrible witltin.
And conscience sat in judgement on
, His most familiar sin.
The light of intellect again
Along in his pathway shone,
Anti reason like a monarch sat

A CHAPTER FROM LIFE.
‘ Do you think I'd have a shoemaker or
tailor? La, me I no, I'll rather live and die
an old maid, than marry a shoemaker or a
tailor.’ , _
We remember well the evening that Miss
Sally Snipes made the above indignant dis-
claimer. We then boarded with her mother
in an eastern city. Mrs. Snipes, the mother
of Sally. in her youth, was unfortunately
cursed with a large share of good looks, and
very little good sense. She had but one
idea in her mind,° which is explained by
what the mass of fashionable folks call gen-
tilitg). She indulged this one idea to such
an extent-that it soon left her minus a lins-
banrl. The poor mart died ofa broken heart
leaving Mrs. Snipes and an only daughter
to cultivate their favorite notions of gcntility
as best suited their humor.
The evening in question, was a cold stor-
my night: and the boarders, six in number,
all mechanics, were gathered around the
ore in conversation, and Miss S:tlly honor-
ed the group with her presence, love and
matrimony contributed to the chit.-chat of the
evening. None of our company happened
to be a shoemaker or tailor, but there was
one very excellent young man there, a jour-
neyman hatter; it was suspected, and not
without rt-ason, that be entertained rt very
sly and affectionate interest in the welfare of
Miss Sally ; but the moment the words quo-
ted above were uttered, it was evident that it
change catne over the spirit of his Clrertm.-—
A‘-out the same time a spruce young dandy
of slvndcr mind but ample impudence, re-
specting whose tvhercabouts or means of
inukintza show, no one could gut-ss, paid
pal‘llCl.lltll‘ attention to Miss Sally. and waited
on her with great poinposity wherever she"
was pleased to go.
Four years aftt=rwartls, we spent a few
Decca’-virtg C/z£lclren.‘—-—’Dt-L BL‘ wnscnft ‘
led -to visita sicki boy,’ twelve yearg of -age‘.
Ashe entered the house..- the motl\”ei"'iool£
himtaside andttold him she could-‘not get
her boy to take any medicine, except ‘she
deceived hiin. ‘ ’ ' ' ' ' 7 v
' Well, thcn,”said.Dr. B.“I shall not give
him any.’ ‘He is old enoughto b"e’.réz'ts'oned
witlt.‘ " y * - '
He went toghe boy, rtnd,al’fter an examin-

It taste and mai(§_you—fooL '
for a while ; and then I expect it will make
you feel better.’ . - , ’
The doctor prepared the medicine, and the
boy took it-like a man, without tlie-least.re-
sistance ; and he would take from his moth-
er any thing that the physician trad prescribe
ed ; but he would take nothing ‘elsc._from
her. She had so often deceived ,-him; and
told him ‘ it was good.’ when .she gave-ltitii
medicines, that he would not trust to ‘any.
thing she said. But he saw at once.-tliat Dr
B. wits telling him the truth, and trttsted‘
him ; he knew when he took the bitter
draught,just what to expect. ,

of deep and solemn. impoi‘tance, deserving.

was merely the cost of a runaway kiss.—-
Then said Fletcher, ‘ Now, bessy, I’ll swear.

A short time ago. it gcntlr.-roan went into

for a residence near Ostxtcgo. In the coach
office was a beautiful girl. The gentleman

'I‘o his great delight, as the coach drove up

sit, she said, “bv this gentleman,” allttd' _

It was an act of politeness, doubtless, on the
