Be you ever pure and sweet, - . —
Growing lovelier as you ope!
Cherished lliii-sling, fenced about

Scarce you've heard ofstrom without,
Thorlls that bite. or winds that blow.
Kindly has your life begun.
And we pray that heavcli may send

And warm suninier, a sweet end :
And, whe'cr her dwelling-place,
May she decorate her home ;

It. was near the close of ii calm sum-
lner day, and the still had nearly reached
that point from whence it would disap-
peril‘, and end its short. but glorious reign.
The rays of his retirillg splendor were
spread over all liatlire, decking every-
thing with beauty as the earth reflected
back his glory from hill and dale.
Two young men were seated at the
ptirlor window of an elegant mansion ill
the village of .D—, deeply engaged ill
collversatioll. Olie is finely formed, with
a gligiiified iniell, am‘, witllnl, rattler a
preposscissilig appezlrance. The other is
of slender figure; but his features are all
b'eallt.iflllly prominélit; and his counte-
n".-mqe‘ ‘l)Ca’l‘flS fortli intelligence and lofty
’tl’lol’lg’llt, while his manners speak of rare
.'.1l.l'.1lllll1el1tS. Ills fair complexion, blue
eyes, and dark browli hair, give him a
comely, but not beautiful appeal'nlice.—-
Such was Oliver Reynolds, who, now at
the age of 22, had graduated from college
with all the highest honors of the institu-
tion, and all the officers declared that he
had giveliucvideiloe of talents that are
Se_,l(l0ll1 met with; and he now stood up
l)Ci’Ol'e’l.l1e world likefali unliglltened lamp
which lleeded but the flame to show its
brilliancy; in other words genius lay
sllllnberiilg in his mind, waiting for an op-
portunity to call it into action. «
He had, when a boy, livedili D-—-; but
wlieli he was twelve years old, he, with
his p:il'el'lts, lclnoved to a distant city.-
Ten years have passed away, ancl he now
for the first time since Ills departul‘e, vis-
its his native village, in company with his
sister, wllo is several ycalsyollilger than
himself. I-Ie was ('0l‘(llfllly wclconled by
his old’ friend and sclloullllntc, Edivard
iV.lol'se, at. whose hczise _\\'c now find him,
«If ipsnmv nezlrly ten yezlrs since I left

'What is that to me? I have had no
invitation to attend it yet,’ continued Oli-
ver.
‘O yes, you have. I informed Evaline
that I expected ynll, and she sent an in-
vitation to you by me; so rest assured
that you will be :1 welcome guest.’
‘Evaline Lester? I do not remember
tier, and yet tl.e name sounds familiar."
‘Not remember Evaline! Squire Les-
ler’s daughter.’ I
‘O yes, now I recollect the little fairy ;

‘Donhtless she has many suitors?’ ’ "I
‘She has at present only two. But one
is more favored than the other.’
‘Who is that favored one?’ asked Oli-
ver, with a smile, for be half guessed that
Edward referred to himself.’
‘It is your humble servant,’ he replied
somewhat proudly. 4
‘Now Edward, dcll’t be too confident,
you may be mistaken; perhaps your ri-
val has reasons to think he is more favor-
ed than you are.’
‘Vlfell I do not fear hiui ; he is a poor
schoolmaster, and I think I shall be pre-
ferable to lliln, although men get awfully
deceived in women sometimes.’
‘Yes, Edward you must not be too
hopeful while you have a rival.’
‘Do you recognize that girl?’ asked
Edward, as a young lady passed over
from the opposite side of the street.
‘No I do not. VVlio is she ?’
‘Have you forgotten her '.'——youl' grea-
test favorite among your schoolmates-
Maria Wilsoli 3’
‘Is that Maria E-—but how plainly she
is dressed, when contrasted with tier
former appearance. VVhat has made
the change .9’
‘Misfortune and iniempei-ance, her fa-
ther is llow the lowest sot in .D—.’
‘ Can it be possible? Cliristopllcr
VVilsoli was the richest, and had the
» greatest influence of ally man in the vil-
lage, when I left; and Maria was the
most beautiful and happiest child that ev_
er roamed these streets in youthful plea-
sure. Then intemperance has made this
fearful change. Bilt, Edward, tell lne
the sad story of Mr. Wilson’s fall.’
‘Indeed it is :1 sad story; but I will re-
late it, as you are anxious to know the
circlllnstolices.’
‘At the time you left D-—,’ commen-
ced Dllward, ‘Mr. Wilson was, as you
havesrlid, the wealthiest person in the
place; but misfortunes, sorrow and ill-
tenlperzlnce have dolle their sad work 11 p-
on him, he is a ruined man.’
‘I-Ie was in the height of prosperity-
wiill bright hopes for the future, and
l10ll1lng,SCelhll]_2’ly, to mar his happiness
when death came into his family, and his
wife was forced to yield to the m0nster’s
irresistible sway. Slle was borne to the
tomb. This was not all; soon his ollly
son followed the mother and wife to that
bourlie from whence no traveller returns.’
This doilble bereavement saddened his
heart, and sorrow was seated on his brow
but his daughter was spared, the lovely
Maria, and he was comforted as he look-
ed upon her, and thanked God that he
had one left to cheer life’s loliely way—
sometllilig to live for. Bill: his misfor-
tunes were not at an elid.
» Intelligence came across the ocean
that sevelal of his ships 'were lost in a
gale, together with their cargoes, audhe
was, ill ii moment, rid of nearly half of
his property by this loss. Tllrougli-the
macllinatiolls of a mail whom he mistook
for a friend, the remainder of his health
was taken from his hands, and he was
left comparatively a beggar. Lawyer
Jolls, the person I speak of, who, you
know, is a wily villain, had some hold
on Mr. W'ilson’s property, which be,
(Mr. VVilson,') hoped to free himself from
in a few months. Bllt when Jolls heard
of Mr. Wilson’s loss at sea, he seized a
favorable opportunity for villainy, and by
dishonest means, fleeced him of every
cent that he possessed, and he and his
daughter was left without a home.
‘Lawyer Jolls now rolls in wealth, but
I would not exchange places withhlm,
especially at the moment when he meets
staggering through the streets, 21 poor,
bloated, ragged, miserable wretch, and,
although he may, appalently, not recog-
nize him, yet. his conscience tells him,
‘ Thou hast made him what he is.”
‘His neighbors kindly’ offered him 3.
home; but this did not console him. All
his hopes had been centered ‘in Maria’s
future prosperity; for her he had labored
to gain wealth. To make her happy was
the great object of his existence, and
when he saw the gain of many“ toilscme
years dashed away in ii moment, his cup
of sorrow was fllll. I-Ie saw no guiding
star, the future to him was as dreary as
the darkest night.
‘You know that he has always been a
liiodemte llrinker, althougll he was never
known-to be intoxicated; but his losses
had maddened his brain, and his appe-
«titc urged him to fly ‘to the poisoned
bowl to drown his sorrow ‘ in excess.-—
Maria like a~glial'dian angel, pled with
and besought him to abandon drinking,"
telling :~ him ll0t' to "fear -for" her.wel_-
fare, for she was young and could work;
ck

l
to her; he flew madly on, like one bent
on his own destruction. Her influence
had lost all control over him, and she was
saflly grieved when she looked upon his
deplorable situation. '
‘Maria found employment in a milline-'
ry establishment, where she has steadily
‘toiled ever since, wllile her father has
sunk deeper and deeper in the pit of mis-
ery, and-there now seems to be no help
for him.’
Edward paused a moment, and then
continued, as pointed to the street,
‘There, there he goes. One look will
tell a more perfect tale of his misery than
I‘ could relate in manylioiirs.’ ' ”
Oliver turned and looked in the direc-
‘tion where" Ed-ward pointed, and saw a’
poor wretch, who was staggering from
one of -the street to the other, muttering
curses as he went. He gazed at him for
a moment, and then exclaimed,
‘Call it be possible? that noble, gener
oils, true-hearted man is fallen, crushed,
ruined; and intemperance has done this
has left him but :1 wretck of his former
self. O, Inteniperance! thou art indeed
a curse, a fatal destroyer, a blighter of
many hopes; would that thy deathly
scepter could be plucked from thy hand
and thou wert hurled from thy blood-
stained throne to the lowest pit of hell,
which is thy most fit. abode, for it was
thy birth-place.’
‘I ilever dreamed of this,’ continued
Oilver, ‘as I looked upoll the happy child
when she was my playmate; but the vi.
cissitudes of human life are mysterious;
and he paused to brush away a falling
tear, as the recollection of other days
pressed themselves upon his mind, calls-
ing him to mark the changes that had
befallen one whom he had always loved
with the affection of a brother.
‘Strange and cruel have they been
with the VVilsons; but Maria bears them
all with saintly patience,’ replied Ecl-
ward. .
‘Will she be at the party to mcrrow
eveliilig '?
‘Perhzips so, t.llaI is, she is invited-
but she seldom attends parties, for she
ilow carries a sorrowful mien, and a sad
restraint from pleasure on her father’s ac-
count. But her reasolls for doilig so are
"not altogether groundless, for she is
shuned by the young men, because she
a drunkard’s daugllter. "For all that, the
girls, from former associatioils, love her
for her aniiableness and virtue, and she
is always :1 welcolne visiter in the female
circle.’
‘I am sorry to learn that the young
men of this place are so near-sigllted as to
disregard her simply because she has been
so unfortunate as to fall from affluence
to poverty, when she still retains her
good character. _ She, upon the other
hand, needs their synlpatlly to remove
the burtliell from her heart that has been
placed there by her fatliel-‘.~: dissipation.
If sllc is present, will you give me an in-
troduction? I want to renew my ac-
quaintance with her.’ ’
‘Certainly, Oliver, I shall illtrodilce you
to all the beam: and hello present, they,
doubtless, will not’ recognize ’y0_1l, you
have been absent. so lolig, and grown to
be sucll a tall and handsome young man.’
Oliver smiled, and Edward continued,
‘Did your sister accompany you 9-
you wrote me that probably she would.’
‘Yes. She is at Mrs. SlieIley’s now,
but I expect her here to-morrow morn-
ilig.’
‘What is tier name Oliver? I have
forgotten it, so long has it been since I
saw her.’
. ‘Lydia.’ -‘
‘O yes, Lydia; we must have her at
the party, too. And here the friends sep-
arated for the iiiglit.
Oliver Reynolds vowed that night, on
his bended -knees, as he-retired to rest,
-that he would use all the means in his
power to free Mr. VVilson from the bonds
of degradation and vice into which he
had fallen, that he might be once more
restored to respectable society, :1 new
man, The finale will show how he slic-
ceeded.
CHAPTER ll.
Maria IVz'lson.
Soft eyes looked love in eyes which spake
again ; I
And all went merry as :1 marriage bell.—Bvno.\'.
What mourning fornl of l)f‘t1lli-y’S that, so deso-
late and lone,
With cheeks as cold and eclol-less, as veinless
.. sculptured stone ; .
Who, like a guardiauallgel, drops in sweet-, ce‘
lestilil dole ‘
When sinless, weeping o’er the fall of some
' poor ‘sinner’s soul’?
The evening of the party came, and
Spuire Lestér’s house was crowded with
the‘ young=and the joyous of the village.
L'yd~ia-alld Oliver = were in the merry
throng, tlley-'w.el'e-heartily‘ welcolned as
old‘frien‘ds, and nltllough,‘tlley went there
colnpnrutively as" sirhngcrs, they were
soon as 'che’erfu’l :88 the rest. Though
they had beenlabsent for-lollg ‘years, it
seemed to lllefllwblli ii week, so joyous
and free were all. A Mirth and gaicty was
the order of tlle'evenillg'. Though they

Lydia Reynolds was a laughing, rosy-
cheeked girl of eighteen, and, ere half an
hour passed, the young schoolmaster,
Edward’s rival, was deeply smitten with
her beauty. It seems that Herbert Noyes
(the schoolmaster,) had seriously exam-
ined the advantages of Edward to the fa-
vor of Evaline Lester, over himself,
and had discontinued his visits to’her.——
He therefore determined to use its ill.
most ingenuity to will the love of Lydia,
and succeeded very well for one evening
for she, fascinated with Herbervs pretty
face, handsome form, and pleasing man-
ners, had listened, to him with pleasure
and even with a_dniiration.
| Maria was there also; but she could
not assumeiithe clieerfiilness of her coin-
panions,—for she was regarded with
coldness and inclifference by some. She
was treated with formal politeness by the
young men; but that kindness, that at-
tention, that love which flows from an‘
prejudicedzhearts, was not manifest in it
and, in consequence, her heart was some,
what burdened zwilh grief. But she
could look up to the Almighty, who was
her strength and support, and say, ‘Oh,
Lord, I cast all my burtliens on the,‘ and
some kind angels would whisper hope to
her disconsnlate heart, and all her cares,
in a measure, would be removed. Thus
she lived on; a life of mingled joy and
tears, with hope for her guiding star. .
She was a perfect model of beauty-
with a form of nymph-like symmetry,
and features chisseled with the most ex-
quisite uniformity. Her complexion was
very fair; but a shade of sorrow was vis-
ible ili her countenance, which dimmed
the brilliancy of her once rose-tinted
cheeks. Her eyes were of azure bright-
ness, and her unborn hair played in tiny
ringlets about :1 neck as pure as Pariaii
marble. But. prominent: above all this
loveliness were the beautiful and angelic
qualities of the mind. If her appear-
ance should not gain our affections, her
heart would. _
A Oliver was introduced to her, and she
seemed to be very glad to see him,as she
recalled the many happy days they had
spent together in childhood; but her
thoughts wnndel-ed_ to the changes that
had bfell her, and she turned away to
hide a tear that was stealing down her
cheek.
They coliversed together for some
time. Oliver would have spoken to her
about her father; but he feared that it
would awaken -.1 fresh sorrow to her heart
and he refrained from doing so until they
should meet: alone. \
Oliver found her possessed with all
those amiable qualities, wliicll had devel-
oped themselves so lovely ill early life’
and which had caused him to love her
as though she was his sister; bill: they
were far more prominent. than then, be-
ing made so by constant cultivation. He
found her all he could wisll for, and often
during the eveliing he was by her side,
whispering consolation alid love to her,
for her nobleness of heart had enchained
him, yes, he loved her.
That night he accompanied her to her
home, and, as he parted with her on the
steps, she felt that she had one who car.
ed for her, one who loved her even tho’
she was a drunkard’s daughter. As she
bowed" by her. bedside, she thanked her
Heavenly Father for the happiness she
had enjoyed that; evening, for the sympa-
thy and love that had been shown to her
and also prayed God would restore unto
her, her fallen parent. VVas that prayer

Lydia and Oliver spent several weeks
at D _ . Much of Oliver’s time was
passed in that society of Maria, while
his sister and Herbert Noyes contrived
to have many favorable and agreeable
meetings, and, so attentive were they to
each other, that it was whispered around
the village that Lydia would be married
before Oliver was. ‘
Oliver now loved Maria with a pure
and holy love,--the aim of which was
to remove the’ load of sadness from her
heart and make her happy. He deter-
mined to exert his utmost energies to lift
her father from the gutter, and once more
restore him to ‘sobriety. With this de-
termination he one day visited Mr. \Vil-
son whom he very fortunately found so-
ber. ‘He made himself known to him,
who had been very intimately acquain-
ted with his family when they resided in
D , and now seemed to be very
gladto see him. After conversing very
pleasantly for :1 while, upon old times,
Oliver iiitrodllced the subject that was
the uppermost in his mind-temperance
and,’illstantly Mr. Wilson’s.face was be-
clouded with a frown, as he replied-
‘Oll, it is no use of talking temperance
or reformation to me, for I will not listen
to you ;- besides, I am older than you, and
know what I am about, and you, a
mere boy, sllonldn’t be advising your su-
periors ill age. No, I will not listen to
oil!’ ‘
‘I know that yoll are older than I am,
Mr. Wilson, but that will never deter
me from, doing what I think to be my
ditty. I know that you would be far
better and happier, if yoll would leave off
drinking,’ replied Oliver earnestly‘.

should become a woman, was the aim of
all my efforts ; but in 21 moment I was
robbed of all my wealth, and we were
both made beggars. No—no——I must‘

Oliver, after pleading for some time
with Mr. Wilson, but all in vain, was ob-
liged to leave him to follow out his own
ruin. Though he plead in tears, Mr.
‘Wilson was inexorable, and would not
listen to him, but Oliver was not dis-
couraged, and therefore determined to re-
peat his visit.
He left the village a few days after-
wards, with a resolve to revisit it in a short
time, for nobler and greater purposes than
had been displayed in his present visit.
An idea had pressed itself upon his mind
the development of which we shall soon
see. ‘ -
He entered a theological institution at
’B , for it had long been his inten-
tion to study for the ministry, and here
we will leave him for the present.
CHAPTER III.
The Temperance Lecture.
The village of D was deeply
infested with that bane to all good soci-
ety—-—intemperance, and its hellish bonds
had a fearful sway over its inhabitants.
Often, it was, that the more moral
portion of its citizens had to gaze upon
the-sad sight of drunken men reeling
through tlfe streets—from the youth of
sixteen to the gray-haired sire of seven-
ty. For all that, none of them seemed
to care for the poor wretches--the vic-
tims of enslaved vice, and nothing had
been done by the villagers to rescile from
the pit into which they were bound by
their evil appetites, bill: there was one
wllose sympathy had been awakened for
them; who it was we shall soon see.
In some six months after the opening
of our story, notice was given on Sunday
at the principal church in D
that on the \Vednesday evening follow-
ing, a young man from a neighboring
city, would lecture on temperance, in
the church, and a general invitation was
extended to all. Bills were also posted
and distlibuted ; but the name of the
lecturer was concealed. The good peo-
ple of the village looked upon this move-
ment as it blessing from Heaven, while
the votaries of rum made it the subject
of many a jest.
\Vednesday evening came, and the
church was filled to overflowing with
people bearing anxious looking faces.-—
Some had come from pure motives,while
others had come out of idle curiosity.—-
The. Christian was there to learn more
fullyllis duty to his fellow man, and to
his God, while the rumseller was there
to mock and deride. Even several half-
intoxicated inebi-i-ates had wandered in
there, and taken seats among their more
honorable friends.
After waiting somewhat impatiently
for nearly half an hour, the speaker
made his appearance. He walked hold-
ly up the aisle and entered the pulpit.—
It was Oliver Reynolds! Exclamations
of surprise brokefrom those who knew
him, for they had no idea that he was to
be their speaker. As he glanced around
the house and saw the anxious faces,
beaming with intense interest, he felt
not a little elated and encouraged.
A prayer was offered by the minister,
after which Oliver arose, and in a tone
of pure eloquence, commenced his ad-
dress. He launched out upon the broad
field of truth, and dwelt upon it so prom-
inently ; he took such plain, common-
sense views of total abstinence, that his
hearers were encliained with admiration
He could present: no startling facts of
his own experience to deepen the inter-
est of the lecture; bill be related inci-
dents connected with othets, showing
the sterling virtues of temperance and
the base and degrading influences of in-
temperance. Those who had known
him when :1 boy, were spell-bound, as-
they noted the perfect command of lan-
guage lie possessed. A death-like still-
ness pervaded the entire assemblage.-
Even the iliebriates, who had now be-
come quite sober, listened with marked
attention and gave evidence that saluta-
ry il1lp'.'eSSl0l’lS were being made on
their minds.
VVe do not intend to follow Oliver
through his lecture; but will only add
that towards the close, he made the fol-
lowing appeal—wllicll though somewhat
pointed, was not altogellier out of
place.
“ As I look over this audience, I see
many, who I fear are not friends and V0-
taries of temperallce——mally who are in
that path which will eventually lead
them‘ down to a dl'unkard’s grave, steep-
ed in crime and misery. Perhaps there
is among you some- unfortunate father
who, in all unlucky moment,‘was led to
forsake hope and maddened by despair,
rushed to the intoxicating cup, hoping
to drown his sorrow by increasing his
misery. Perhaps that father has a child
who once loved him fol; his kindness and
affection; but who can now only love
Ifl-III1 as a parelit. If such a father is
present, let lne persuade you to abandon
