One afternoon in the month of June, 1S70, a lady in mourning, fol lowed by a child, entered one of the fashionable saloons in tho city of N-. The writer happened to be passing at the same time, and im pelled by curiosity, followed lier in to see what would ensue. Step ping up to the bar and addressing the proprietor, who happened to be present, she oaid : 1 Sir, can you ageist me ! I have no borne, no friends, and am not able to wo k.1 He glanced at her and then ut the child, with a mingled look of curiosity and pity, evidently he was much sur prised to see a woman in such a place begging, but without asking any questions gave her some change, and turning to those present, he said. 'Gentlemen, here is a lady in dis rresB. Can at y of you help her a little ?' They cheerfully acceded to the request, and soon a purse of two dollars was made up and put into he hands. 1 Madam,' said fte gentleman who gave her the money, ' why do you come to a saloon. It isn't a proper place for a lady, and why are you driven to such a step?' 1 Sir, I know it is not a proper place for me to be in, and you ask me why I am driven tc Euch a place. I will tell you in one short word' pointing to a bottle behind thc count er labeled-' that is what brought me here- whiekey !' ' I was once happy and surrounded with all the luxuries which wealth :ould procure, and v" "- a fond and indulgent husbar ? ? in an evil hour he was tempu , u.d not possess ing the will to resist the temptation, fell, and in one short year my dream * f happiness was over, my home, forever desolated, and the kind husband and the wealth which some called mine lost never to return and by the ac cursed wine cup. 1 You see before you only a wi eek jf my former self, homeiees and fri ndless. and noth:ug left me in this world but this little child ;' and weeping bitterly, ehe affectionately messed the golden enr?a that shaded i face of exquisite loveliness. Re gaining her composure and turning ;j the proprietor of the saloon, she :ontinued : ' Sir; the rJason I occasionally en '?e.,1 a^idttrSmeHriia, 'JH to TTjno those who deal in tba deadly poison to desist, to stop a business that spreads desolation, ruin, poverty, and starvation. Think one moment of your loved ones and tbc-n imagine them in the condition I am in ; I ap peal to your heart, for I know you possess a kind one, to retire from a business so ruinous to your patrons 1 Did you know that the money y->u take across the bar is the same as taking the bread out of the mouth of the famishing wives and children of your customers ? That strips tht clotbes from their back, deprives them of all the comforts of this life and throws unhappiness, misery, crin e and desolation into their once napp} homes. Oh ! sir, I implore, beeeecl and r ray you to retire from a business which wiH make you hesitate to owt you are engaged in before your fellow men, and enter one that will not only be profitable to you but to your fel low creatures also. You will excuse me if I have epoken too plainly, tut I assure you that I could not he'p it, when I thought ol the mieeiy, the suffering and the unhappiness it has caused me.' ' Madam, I am not offended,' he answered, in avoicehueky with emo tion, 1 but. I thank you from the Lot torn of my heart for what, you have said.' ? Mamma,' said the little child who in the meantime, had been spoken to by Borne of the gentlemen prest nt? taking hold of its mother's hand, ' these gentlemen wish me to t-ing 'Little Bessie' for them. Shall I do so ?' ' Yes my darling; if they wish you to.' They all joined in the request, and placing her in a chair, she, in a h weet childish voice, sang the follow be anti lui song: Out lu the Gloomy night sadly I ronm? I have no mothar dear: no pleasant home ; Noouecaies lor me, no one would < ry Even if poor little Bessie should die.

The game of billiards was left un finished, the cards were thrown asido, and the uncmptied glass remained on the counter; all pressed near, Eome with curiosity, some with pity beam ing in tht ir eyes entranced with the musical voice of the child, who seemed better fitted to be with angels s^ove than in such aplace. . .ro;ni?' The scene I never shall forged to my dying day, and the sweet cadence of her musical voice still ring? m my ears, and every word of the song as it dropped from her lipB sank deep into the hearts of those gathered j around ber. ' With her golden hair ..ailing car^?; iessly around her shoulders, her face of almost ethereal beauty, and look ing so trustingly and comfortingly; upon the gentlemen around, ht?r beautiful eyes illumined with a light that seemed not of this earih, she, formed a picture of purity and inno cence worthy the genius of poet ox painter, .it At the close of the song many were weeping ; men who Had not shed tear for years now wept like childr^p One young man who had resi with scorn the pleadings and entreaties ot a'loving mother to strive to leid e. belter life, to desist from a course that Was wasting his fortune and ruining his health, now approached the child and taking both her little hands in his, while tear? streamed down his pale cheeks, exclaimed witft deep emotion : * God bless you, my little angel, you have saved me from ruin and disgracer from poverty and a drunkard's grave-. It lhere are angels on earthryou are one ; God bless you V and putting s bill into the bands of the "mother,, said : ' riease accept this trifle as a token of my regard and esteem, for your little girl bus done me a kindness I c*n never repay. And remember, whenever you are in want, you wiUu nod me a true liiend,' at the Barnes time giving her his name and address. Taking her jhild by the hand she turned to go, but pausing at the door,-j said: - . ' God bless: yen, gentlemen.

Before any one could reply she wes zone. ? ; IK*J . : . ci A silence cf several minutes en uied, which was at length broken by he proprietor, who exclaimed : 1 Gentlemen, that lady is.right, and i have sold my last glass of whiskey !
