Plll'cllasillp; some wine one day in a
tavern not far from 1-Iolllorn, London,
my zlltelltlon was direcled by the land-
lord to :1 luau who lay or slept on one of
the benches in front of the "bar. His
sleep-——if indeed that deserved the name
which appeared rattler a lethargic tor-
ture of the faculties-—-wzls nearly over ;—
he put his fee»; to the ground, and arose
painfully and dizzily iuI.o a setting pos-
ture. l-le rested his elbows on his kllces
and his head drooped forward on two
white slender llauds, now trembling and
ilupotent, and stained with. blood and
mire.
lglc was indeed a singular object. and
one to arrest our deepest. s.ympatll’les.-—
His llair, a line dark browll, profuse and
silky, was ulatted \vilh lhe straw of the
kennel out of which be had been lifted
by the lalldlord at daylre all. His clothes
though soiled and turn, were still of ex-
cellent texture; and one glance, the
nlosl, hasty, and the man declared his po-
sition and revealed his ullsery. He was
:1 gellllcrulm, if bir‘..h, education, social
rank and high abi'.lty confer the tille.—-
He was a (Il‘lIIlli§lI*1.l by practice and temp-
tation, a drullkard, and heir to all the
lulscry and dI3,,¢_{[7.ldatl0l1 implied and en-
tailed by Iho fattal passion.
“God help him!” said the landlord,
who was -.1 humane man, as landlords go
“God help poor Mr. Carson! He's been
mu. on :1 spree many a time before; but
this is his longest and his worst, and I
fear Nil prove his last.”
“}Illsh !" said I. “He may overhear
you.”
"Not be," said the lalldllord—-“at least
he can't understand nothing new ’t'lll llc’s
had his hitters. Lord bless you; he's
got no tllought now but one, and thal.’s
for drink; tllere’s only «me word ill the
world he could speak and that's ‘gin,’
poor fellow !”
I looked at. the llnful-tllr.atc man; he
sat pressing his thin palms against his
throbbing temples. and striving to mois
ten his parched tongue sufficiently to
call for drink. h
. , _._....._....,.-.,...,.. .... .... .- . .. ,.,_
’ 'l‘lle. words rattled in his throat; he
coughed, and it seemed as if the heavy
phlegm would choke him; he sneezed,
and a rush of discolored blood poured out
through his nostrils; his fingers were
clotted with it, and when be pressed
wide and ample was the temple of Intel-
ligence lllus strained and ruined by the
violence of appetite.
I learned on enquiry from the landlord
that Mr. Carson was a barrister, occupy-
lng rooms close to my own in Lilleolfs
Inn; that he had the reputation of great
talent, and was now, or had been lately,
the lnllsterspirit of one of our best and
most witty periodicals.
In general be was perfectly sober,
knowing his own weakness, alld abstain-
ing allogctller from strong drink; but
twice before,‘ during the passed year, he
had broken througll his resolution, alld
twice before, though never quite so to-
tally, he had been reduced to the posi-
tion in which he now grouned and gas-
ped before rue. Oh, there are many Car-
sous in the world! and many landlords,
who, while. they pity him, never think
that the trade by which they prolitis the
poison by which he dies. ,
Arising slowly from his seat. and tot-
tering to the bar, he now rested his el-
bows on the brass rods and muttered
through his set teetll———“Drink! Grin!”
The bar maid, in pretty girl, and one
who would have shrunk from the com-
mission of an open homicide, handed him
=1 I.uI'l'Ibler nearly full. He gulped it
down, though an innate lothiug convul-
sed his face, and it was evident that the
stomach sought to reject the unwelcome
drug with which it was already satura-
ted and corroded.
I-Ie paused for a moment, and a grim
smile crept over his besotted features, as
they felt the invigorating stimulus.
“Bitters—gin—more 3" said he horsely
handing back his tumbler to be filled ;-—
and the girl who prayed each Sunday in
a Christian Church, and heard the com-
nlaud “Thou shalt not kill,” gave him
what lle asked.
\Vhy enter into the minimize of a pict-
ure, the far luore dreadful reality of which
is to be Seen every day and every hour in
every tavern tllrougllout the world ?—
Suflice it, that a few lnore glasses of
brandy restored the victim to his senses,’
He was in high spirits, and joked with
me on the lvretchedness of his 0\V|l con-
dition. He told me that he had heard
every word of my convérsation with the
lalldlord, but was at the time unable to
think or speak, not having had his “com-
forter," and he smiled as be drained an-
other glass. '
I asked him llorne to my chambers,
and as he walked down Chauncery Lane
I saw that men, the first and most res-
pected in our profession, bowed and smi-
led sadly at him as they passed.
Coming into my moms he called for
brandy.
“Vlfhy will you take more of this when
you have just told me that you know it
is killing you?” _
"Psllaw! don't preach now, there’s'-
a good fellow,” he replied, “let me just
have another glass; and then I’ll dress
myself, and come out and talk to you
like a judge, wiser than three fourths of
them are into the bargain; for I have
not only the letter of law, but the spirit
in me.”
I showed him into the bed-room, and
as be washed himself he told me that he
had neither lvaslled nor combed his hair
for the past week, ‘nor would I now,” said
he, “only that you llappeued to stumble
on me in there. Some friends pressed
me to join them in champaigu about ten
days ago; I plead that. I never drank.
but they were old college chums, and
insisted ; they laughed at me, soI drank
and here I anl now, sober by excess of
brandy, restored to my reason by that
which would make three other men in-
sane.”
There was a bitter sarcasm, avaiu re-
gret, a dreadful mockery of his own
weakness and misery in his tone, though
:1 smile curled his handsome features.--
Yes! handsome, despite the fever and
their pallor, despite the blood-shot eye,
and the bloated cheek.
Now that he had removed the blood
and dirt which disfigured him, I thought
that I had never seen a finer face, or one
so intellectual. The forehead was broad-
and massive, the eyes large, dark, deep-
set, and wilh long rich lashes placed
wide apart under the brow. His nose
though somewhat. thick, was purely gre-
cian, and regularly sllapedf the lips, con-
trary to the received doctrine of pllysi-
ogomists were finely arched and flexible
and a square dimpled chin completed a
face which had lunch of the old Apollo
in it, much of the morning star hurled
down from its llight, but still conscious
of its lustre. '
“Why don’t you shave?” said 1;..-
“there are my razors; then We'll go out
for a walk, and the cool air will revive
you.” '
"Ha! ha !" he laughed; “is lllIS a
hand to shave with 'l is it steady enough
is the bmin steady '! would you desire
a coroner’s inquest in your room; ora su-
icide comnliI.te.d before your face? No,
no; !".0lllB across the square to my cham-
bers, ]’ve not been there for a week, and
then I’ll finish my toilette and go down
to the office with you.” *
\Ve went, and found the table cover-
ed with :1 pile of letters; an aged clerk,
who sat at a small table in the outer of-
fice, fairly wept for joy when “Master
Frclleric” returned. He had been in
Carson's service fol solne years, as I af-
terwards learned, and indeed had spent
the better portion of his life ill the ser-
vice of Ills uncle by whom Frederic had
been reared. '
Taming to the pile of papers which
lay on the desk. Carson glanced hastily
over it, either flinging aside the letters
or llaudillg them to the clerk to attend to
At last, about half way down the heap,
he came to zl small note, deeply bordered
with black, and directed in an old-fash-
ioncd female hand.
“My God !" he exclaimed, "from my
u.othel'; but I could not bear to read it
now .’ Time was,” said he sinking back
into a chair, “tllaj. I watched for the posl.
and laid in my stock of seven day's com-
fort this weekly letter; but now,” and
the voice died away in hysteric sobs as
he covered his face with his hands.
“What folly '.” said he, starting up ;-—-
“you are but a half-hours acquaintance,
them on his forehead we saw how high, '
and !'‘“'e nllemly seen my tears. But
Y0“ 373 3_2eml9man," he added more
5l°WlY- faking ml’ hand. as he saw that
my own fears fell like rain; "you have
a mother whom you love, and you can
respect my grief."
I could only answer him by pressinu
his hand. There was an image berm:
me, a foreboding, the wreck of intellect
and domestic peace, a shadow thrown
upon my own path, by the dark-
ness which already encircled his.
I spoke some hasty consolation, though
with choked and imperfect utterance ;—
and with all earnestness, vouched by my
tears, I besought him to refrain from
drinking any more.
"0. come, come!” said he, my poor
boy, you take this trifle to much to heart
Come, let's dress and take a walk; I’ll
read it in the fields, and perhaps it may
do something for me, though I fear it
comes too late."
He returned from the bed-room in a
few minutes elegantly dressed, and with
every trace of agitation gone; but Ihad
heard the gurgle of the decanter, and
could judge the source of his mirth.-—
Leaving some money with the clerk, and
telling him that he would return and re-
sume business regularly in the. morning,
he accompanied me into Fleet street.
VVe called on several friends in the
temple. and every where I could see how
highly he was esteemed—how little they
knew his real state, how noble a pros-
pect his folly, his desperate madness had
effaced.
Passing up the Strand to Charing
Cross we called a cab, and drove to the
Li—egent’s Park; he then threw himself
down in the long grass at the foot of
Primrose Hill, and read the letter aloud.
It was one of those which can only
come from a fond mother's pen; she
spoke of his sister, and their hope to
come up to town and see him in a few
weeks, or that he would go down to them
It spoke of the pride she took in hearing
of his fair fame and In anticipating the
happiness and advantages of his future
career. It was one of those letters
which they are happy who receive, and
blest wllo merit, :1 letter to touch the rock
of selfihsness and draw forth whatever
purity and kindness the heart contains,
such a letter as scarcely any son can read
without self-crimination, repentance and
tears.
For my own part I gave way to my
feelings and wept like a child; but Car-
son shed no tears; Ills voice was husky,
slow, and dreadfully deliberate, as.if he
wished to drain the dregs of the bitter
cup, and feel the torment of each sepa-
rate drop. ‘ He folded up the letter and
arose; his limbs trembled so that he
leaned on me ; and as he walked back to
the cab, he Whispered :
“I will drink no more; my fate is in
your hands; take me to a doctor, and see
if a worthless life can be saved for bet-
ter purposes.” ‘
I drove down to my friend, Dr.
’s, and to him Carson stated his
case. It was a common one, and this-
that he had now been under the madden-
ing influeuce of drlnk for lnore than ten
days, and that he feared delirium and
death would seize him if he abstained.
Dr. 13 felt his pulse, and Immedi-
ately asked if be any friends on whom
he could rely. He answered none, un-
less I would interest myself so far in a
ruined man, who might never live to
make return of the obligation He felt,
he said, as if death had already marked
him, but still desired, even more strong-
ly than life, that no friends of his should
be made acquainted with the nature or
degree of his illness.
I promised silence, and it was finally
agreed that he should he removed to a
“mansion de saute,” or private hospital,
some miles from town.
VVhy barrow your feelings by a des-
cription of his sufferings? why attempt
to depict the unutterable torture of Lolly
and soul which followed his abstinence
flom the bowl? why, or how, reveal
the horrors which made a demond-land
of his couch, and frenzied into despera-
tion and violence an imagination already
vivid, eager, warm and comprehensive ?
, Bellold him on the bed ; young. bril-
liant, educated, refined and sensitive, but
yesterday, or a fortnight since, with
friends who esteemed him, a future fill]
of hope and equal to his highest aspira-
tions. To-day draw aside the curtains
and contemplate the wreck, a shattered
maniac raving in horrors of an anticipated
hell, shuddering at the terrors of hl.~ own
disordered fancy, shrieking with the ag-
ony of brain and heart, convulsed in eve-
ry lilnb and quivering in every siIl6W. 35
the slladows gather around him more
gloomily, more strangely, hideously and
slowly and more darkly.
The mother and sister did come to
town ; but not as they expected, to sllare
his joy and witness the position his ge-
nius had achieved. They came to stand
beside a narrow pit, into which an unin-
scribed coffin is being slowly lowered.-
It was his last request in the lucid inter-
ml which preceded death, that his name
should perish with his shame; and that
neither monument not record should pr -
serve his memory. The name I have
assigned him is fictitious; therefore his
request is unviolated by a brief narrative
as true as it is said.
His mother has since died; she with-
ered up under the second blight, for her
husband had also been a victim to the red
plague of intoxication. Hope died with-
in her heart; and slle expired about a
twelve month after her son's death ; but
not in England. In Palermo vfllere I
had gone to spend the summer, under
the bright skies_of Sicily, and in the
home of my wife, her daughter another

cents who suffer for every individual

mother and the wlfe, outraged, desolated
i'n each capacity by the foul Tyrant, flew
up to the throne of Grace, to cry‘ "How

Death, be permitted to walk the earth.
and rear its hideous alters on the bones
and bleeding hearts of countless vic-
tims ?"
I have told a plain story, without em-
bellishment, without exaggeratlon. \_vl_I.h-
out reference to any enactments, dlvlue
or human, to arrest the plague, to forbid
the moral suicide, to protect the Weak
from the temptations which beset them.
’Tis not alone the ignorant, the poor,
the miserable, who perish in the Dead
Sea of drink. Let the annals of litera-
ture, let the records of each family, let
your own experience and daily observa-
tion tell you who and what arc: the men
who most readlly, most fatally yield to
this most damnable vice!

II? The following is an extract from
a letter from Hungary, to the New York
Staatszeitung 2
(Translation)
DEBRECZIN, Hllugary, July 22, 1854.
“ If you should read in the papers that
the Common Council of this town has
subscribed one million of florins to the
new Austrian loan, you need not take it
for any mark of sympathy towards the
military government of Austria. The
loan is subscribed to by the people for
the purpose of assisting and carrying on
a war. It is war agalnst some one that
we are longing for, no matter whether
against French, English, Turks or Rus-
sians. It makes but little difference with
us against whom. We Hungarians are
living in the firm conviction that war is
the best occasion for an outbreak that
can offer. Wlloever is the opponent, the
true sons of Hungary, enlisted in the
Austrian Army, would go over to the
enemy to fight their own greatest enemy
the Austrians. This you may take as
the real cause why the council has as-
signed money for the Austrian war ex-
penditure.
The same fact showsitself in the pres-
ent enlistment of eight thousand Hunga-
rians. They have voluntarily done this
to get /cold cf arms. We do not know
what part the "London exile,” the soul
of the country, takes in this national
manifestation. But it. is certain that the
thoughtless youth, after enlistment, car-
ried away by enzhusiasm. and perhaps a
little elevated too, by the national wine.
left the Recruiting Officers with the shout
of “Long live Kossulh.” "Hurrah for
Kossulhl” The oflicers at the recruit-
ing stations, seized with a panic, refused
to receive the thousands of young men,
continually arriving. The offices were
closed, and they did not know what to
do wi:h those already enlisted, or Where
to leave them.
You may be assured that if it comesto
fighting, and Kossuth is able to cut his
way through Turkey, and place his foot
on Hungarian soil, that the Hungarian
nation will, as one man rise and fight. to
the last for liberty."
One of the Wz'tnesses.—The follow-
ing colloquy took place not a lluudred
miles from Fitchburg the other day, be-
tween the Commonwealtlfls counsel
and a very reluctant witness, in a liquor

The Bowitched clock,
About half past eleven o'clock on
Sunday night, a human leg, enveloped
ln blue broadcloth, “ might have been
seen" entering Deacon Cephas Barber-
ry’s kitchen window. The leg was fol-
lowed finally, by the entire person of a
hve Yankee, attired in his Sunday go to
meeting clothes. It was, in sllon, Joe
Nlayweed, who thus burglariously won
llls way into the kitchen. “ Wonder
how much the old deacon made by or.
dering me not to darken his doors P" so.
liloquized the young gentleman. “ I
promised hlm I wouldn’t, but didn't say
nothing about winders. Winders is just
as good as doors ef there ain't no nails
to tear your trowsers onto. Wonder if
Sally’ll come down. The critter prom-
ised me. I'm afeared to move about
here, cause I might break my shins over
something anuther and wake the old
folks. Cold enough to freeze a Polish
bear here. Oh, here comes Sally.”
The beauteous maid descended with a.
pleasant smile, a tallow candle, and a
box of lucifer matches. After receiving
a rapturous greeting, she made up a.
rousing fire in the cooking stove, and the
happy couple sat down to enjoy the
sweet interchange of vows and hopes.
But the course of true love never ran
no smother in old Barberry’s kitchen than
it does elsewhere, and Joe who was just
making up his mind to treat himself to
a. kiss was startled by the voice of the
deacon, her father, shouting from his
chamber door : " Sally, what are you
getting up in the middle of the night
for ?”
“ Tell him it's most morning,’
pered Joe.
“ I can’: tell a fib !” said Sally.
" I'll make it a truth, then,” said Joe,
and running to the huge old-fashioned
clock that stood in the corner, he set it
at five.
“ Look at the clock and tell me What
time it is,” cried the old gentleman.
" Iv.’s five, by the clock,” answered
Sally; and corrobatiug her words, the
old clock struck five.
The lovers sat down again and resu-
med their conversation. Suddenly the
staircase began to creak. —
"Goody gracious 3 It's father,” ex-
claimed Sally.
“ The deacon, by thunder !" cried Joe,
“ Hide me, Sally !”
“ Where can I hide you 3" cried the
distracted girl.
" Oh, I know,” said he, “ I'll squeeze
into the clock case.” And without an-
other word be concealed himself in the
case, and closed the door.
The deacon was dressed, and sitting
himself down by the cooking stove, pul-
led out his pipe, lighted it, and commen-
ced smoking deliberately and calmly.——
“Five o'clock, eh!" said he, "Well I
shall have time to smoke three or four
pipes, and then I'll go and feed the;crit-
ters.”-
"Hadn’t you better feed the critters
first, sir," suggested the dutiful Sally.
“ No; smoking clears my head and
wakes me up,” replied the deacon, who
seemed not a whit disposed to hurry his
enjoyment.
Burr-r-r—whizz—dlng! ding! ding !
went the clock.
“ Tormented lightning !” cried the
deacon, starting up, and dropping Ills
pipe on the stove, “whaL’n creation’s
that t!”
“ It’s only the clock striking five 1"
said Sally. tremulously.
Whizz ! ding ! ding ! went the clock
furiously.
“Powers of marcy cried the dea-
con. “Stl-ikin' five ! it's struck a. hunc-
red already.”
“ Deacon Barberry !" cried the deacons
better half, who had hastily robed her-
self, and now came plunging down the
staircase, in the wildest state of alarm
—“ what's the matter with the clock ?"
“Goodness only knows,” replied the
old man. “It's been in the family these
hundred years, and never did I know it
to carry on so before.”
Whizz ! ding! ding !
again.
“It'll bust itself!” cried the old lady,
sheddinga flood of tears, “and there
won’: be nothing left of it.”
“It's bewitched !” said the deacon,
who retained a leaven of good old New
England superstition in his nature.-—
“Auyh,ow,” said be, after a pause, ad-
vanciug resolutely towards the clock,
"I'll see what's got into it.”
“O. don't,” cried his daughter, seizing
one of his coat tails, wllile his wife
clung ‘-0 the 0th8l‘- “Don: !” chorussed
both the women together.
“Let go my raiment,” shouted the
old deacon, “I ain't afeard of the pow-
ers of darkness.” .
But the Women would not let go, so
the deacon slipped out of his coat, and
while, from the sudden cessation of re-
sistance, they fell heavily on the floor—
he darted forward, and laid his hand on
the clock case. But no human power
could open it. Joe was holding it in-
side wilh a death grasp. The old dea-
con began to be dreadfully frighl:ened—-
he gave one more tug. An unearthly
yell, as of a fiend in distress, burst from
the inside, and the clock case pitched
headforemost at the deacon, fell head-
long on the Ioor, smashed its face, and
wrecked itsf air proportions. The cur-
rent. of air extinguished the lamp—tlle
deacon, the old lady and Sally fledup
stairs, and Joe Mayweed extrlcatlug
himself from the clock effected lns es-
