All the way, so wide and bare, From the table to the chair; ' ris no wonder that he should linger, Holding on the papa's finger, Though his mother beckons there From her throne, With, "Come, baby, all alone!" "Come, my baby, all alone?' Vas such mingled doubt and daring ever known ? Now he drops his hold, and then Closer clings to it again; Now he steps out with a shiver, As one tries a rapid river, And shrinks back, and wonders when, Taller grown, Baby shall go all alone. "Here comes baby, all alone!" Vas more victorious bravery ever shown? Right across the traceless space The small feet have won their race; And he tosses back thereafter Such a peel of ringing laughter; It laughs out from every face, Glad to own "Baby has gone all alone!" Back goes baby all alone; )h, what inches, all at once, baby grown! Back and forth, with merry cries, Like a little bird he flies; First to father then to mother, Then to sister, then to brother, Greeting each with laugh ing eyes, Bravely done! Shout for baby, every one! -The Nursery. MRGY'S SRR -0 Henry Fleet, the blacksmith, iad a cozy little house in New urg, whicl4 be called his bird's est. It, with ten good acres at ached, had been in the Fleet fam ly fori three generations. The 'ne son bad always followed the ccupation of the sire, as though bey were born to the business. Iarry had a pride in his work, .nd to those friends who had a arger ambition for him he was wont to say, 'I was born a black mith; I like it, and will remain ne.' In his bird's nest nestled his rife, Margery and his little son. [hey were the joy and light'of is work-day-life. For a number of years Harry ad been a very happy man, but a loud had gathered in the sky, nd at last it moved along just ~ver bis cottage, and there it oh tinately stood. He had stood as ail for an old friend who was ins langer of losing his liberty in onsideration of certain liabilities. L'ho friend had lurched him. Margery knew something had one wrong. He tried to keep the vhole trouble to himself, but the hrewd little woman managed to scertain his secret trouble. 'You see. Margery, I don't ind, I can work for you and the boy well enough, but the home stead, there is no help for it; that rust go ; and it has been in the Fleet family ever since it was a wilderness.' Harry told her the responsibili ty. Said he, 'Old Squire Mitchell has paid it, and I have mortgaged the place. He has given me sev eral months it. which to redeem it, but he might as well take it now, Margery; I shall be no bet ter prepared to pay it then.' Harry went to work, and Mar. gery to ruminating. She had al ways been able to adapt means to ends, and supply the means, too, if necessary ; for a wise little thinking cap she was in possession of. But this time she was sorely puzzled. She spent the afternoon in endeavoring to plan a method of relief; but it crept away, and she felt tired and defeated. It was supper time. She heard her husband's foot strike the graveled walk at the same time se was struck with an idea. She put his supper on3 Lbe table wvith. out a word, and instead of sittina down with him as usual, said, 'Dc you mind looking after the baby awhile ? I want to run out.' A neighbor came in soon aftei and inquired for Mrs. Fleet. 'She has gone out,' he replied 'It must have been her I sav going into Lawyer Knowles' offici a moment ago,' said the neigh Hn,-r did not einlv. but be dii not like it. Young Knowles had once been a tnitor of Margery's. A little wavering at first in his at tentions, for he was a shrewd young fellow, acute in his profes sion, and in personal matters look ing always to the main chance, and Margery had no fortune but her face ; though there was a ru' mor about the time of her mar riage that an uncle in a distant part of the country had left her property, more or less, and her relatives there had made it to ap pear that she died in childhood, and had taker possession of it themselves. But Knowles had lost his heart to her so effectually, before this report, that he had proposed, and had been unbestita tingly rejected, greatly to the as touishment of himself and Harry Fleet. Margery was an orphan, and had been reared by Harry's kind parent, and from continued asso ciation with him had learned to reud his big heart so well that she knew who reigned queen in it long before he bad courage to tell her. He really never could see why she had preferred a plain man like himself to one whom he considered so finished in worldly graces as * young Knowles. So Harry did not like wbat tran spired, and though too sensible a man to get jealous at a trifle, he was not a little perplexed when his wife made no mention of ber business out, on returning. As the weeks went by he came to know of her calling there at other times, and once, on coming home earlier than usual, be met Knowles at his gate coming out. At heart be bad perfect faith in his wife, but fortune had begun to rack him on her wheel, and a matter that he would bave thought little of a few weeks before, now had the power to torture him. He was grieved to see that his wife's manner toward him was changed. It was not trouble; she never spoke of their approaching loss, and he often found her sing ing, merry as a lark, but there was no longer perfect confidence between thein. There was some thing she was keeping hid he thougbt. And Margery did have a secret, and kept it-the old ad age to the contrary notwithstand ing. Finally the day arrived on which the date of the mortgage expired. Harry's face had a set look. Always in the way, he thought, when around the house, watching Margery while deftly clearing up things. Everything she touched yielded like magic. This morning she was unusually skillful, and not a trace of regret was there in that sparkling face of hers. Harry was wofully cast down. His clouded face seemed a re proach to her. He had not raised the money, and could not, he said. The squire offered him an exten sion of time ; he would not have 'It is of no use,' said he, 'and we may as well be over with it at once. . The little place is nol worth more than the money yot loaned me. I will make you e deed of it, and you may write that the mortgage is satisfied.' He produced pen and ink, look ing all the time like a man abonl to sign his own death-warrant Then baby was hustled uncere moniously back into his cradle and Margaret unlocked a littlh drawer in her husband's desk, pro ducing a package, and placingi before' the squire, asked him tC count its contents.- It was fount to cover the whole amount foi which her husband had given thi mortgage 'It was left me by my Uncl Hetb,' explained Margaret 'Law yer Knowles was in need of al his shrewdness to straighten th. matter out, but L paid him round sum for his services-' Harry called himself a slov man, and it did take him som time to get the better of hi amazement. He had barely sU( ceededi in comprehending th whole, as his wife turned fror the door from whence the squir had made his exit- Then. for tb Is fi-a ime, the little woman brok down. She threw herself into the strong arms that were ready to receive her. 'Oh, Harry! how could you how could you be jealous of me?' He answered not at all, but held her as in one of his own iron vises. Presently he fell to kissing her hair, forehead, cheeks, lips, and looking up, she saw what she had never seen before; on the checks of her Vulcan were two round, big tears. Harry did not go to the shop that day, and baby got sadly neg lected. It was several years ago that this event occurred, and Harrys bird's nest is now called 'The Dove-cot' by the observing neigh bors. TEMPERANCE. Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle and Constitution alist. The ladies of this city, a con siderable number of them at least, are enthusiastic upon the subject of checking intemperance. That is a noble undertaking. It is also an arduous one. Somehow or other the human race either re quires stimulant or thinks it does. At any rate, all nations have had a mode of intoxication, and, as we once before observed, by 'some irony of fate, from the most inno cent fruits and grains and flownrs man has learned to distill a bev erage that dethrones his intellect, fires up bis passions, and too often kills him, body, mind and soul. We have little expectation of a temperance reform that will an nihilate the evil; for some of the most zealous apostles against dram-drinking have pet vices of their own, only differing in degree from that infirmity they so sweep ingly and sincerely condemn. We have known some of the best of men who would not take a drink of'fire-water' flor any considtera tion, and yet they were slaves to tobacco in one or several forms. We have known others who ab horred wine and whisky, but oc casionally resorted to morphine and opium. Now intemperance is so wide and comprehensive a field that it would be wrong to confine it to alcoholic indulgence, and yet we can well understand that wives and mothers and sisters should elect to begin somewhere. and that there is no better place to make a reformatory start than at the serpent of the still. It is quite likely that if the women of the land could restrain their male relations from a resort to whbisky and kindred liquid abominations, they would afterward alnd not so much trouble as is supposed in attacking other forms of the evil. At any rate they have proposed to make their initial crusade against alcoholic-drin!ks, and eve rybody will wish them well in the undertaking. We need not re peat what has been so often said by ourselves and others, that dram-drinking is perhaps the greatest curse in this world, and that it inflicts upon guilty and innocent the vastest injury. How to curb it is a problem of mam moth proportions. There must be influences brought to bear by the tender sex, and there must be co-operation on the part of those who are to be redeemed or guard ed. This, as we understand, is the prime object of Augusta ladies who have formed themselves into a temperance league. We have no doubt that there will be invid ual cases of reform. We fear there are many other cases that are past cure. We remember that exSpeaker Ri'andall, of the House of Representatives, was a hard Idrinker and on the road to ruin. He saw the danger in time, resist ed the tempter, became sober in all things, and to the fact of his re form he owes his after distinction. We see going the rounds of the press a good story of Senator Garland, who was a prodigious whisky drinker. Garland con chded not to drink any more, and Shis first refusal when in company jwith the old set, in Senate Comn mittee Rooms, brought down upon him a shower of questions as to the cause ot his new aeparLure. in response, Garland told his friends that there was nothing the mat ter with him; 'but,' said he, 'I've stopped,' and added: 'You know we had a pretty hot canvass in Arkansas this Summer, and. I went all over the State stumping. Well, I saw the graves of a good I 0 6 t many good fellows who began n ith me, and who are now in the dark valley or the light one, which ever it may be. I. saw the wrecks of other men wto started t it with me to be jolly good fellows. The graves and the wrecks set t me to thinking. From thinking, i I began to calculate. Well, on a, rough caiculation, I found that I had already drank about a barrel and a half of whisky more than I y ! t was entitled to. Then I said to myself that if I drank any more I should be drinking some other fellow's whisky, and, as I didn't want to do that, I stopped. There, you have the whole story.' Mr. Garland is now one of the most useful of Southern Senators -an honor to his State and to hu-: man -nature. Had he not stopped in time be would probably have joined the procession of those who have 'died as the fool dieth.' We remember having heard the late Governor Hammond say that the man in the Senate who had the noblest promise aid the cne who I was the match of the greatest, even of Douglas, was Senator Green. of Missouri. In a burst of enthusiasm, Hammond once said to him: 'Green, there is only one thing that can prevent you, in my opinion, from becoming President t of' the United States.' 'What is that?' said the Missourian. 'Term perance,' replied Hammond. 'Quit whisky drinking and there is no honor or position in this Govern. meat you cannot aspire to and would not adorn.' He did not ap preciate this good counsel or he did not follow it. In spite of the loftiest talents, he sunk into sot tish obscurity, and not very many years ago, old, ragged and wreck . Im t ed, he was fished out of a gutter, as we are informed, and died in a police station. But we need not seek beyond our own domain for the saddest examples of how wine is not only a mocker but a de stroyer of all that is beautiful and bright, and wholesome and capti vatng in this world.* Very few families have escaped the terrible malediction. Remembering this, xe do not wonder that the gen- ~ tIer sex, who suffer most from tbe fault of others, are making stren ous efforts to rescue those they love and upon whom so many of them depend. AN EFFECTIVE PRACTICAL JOKE. -In a recent experimental te'4t of the Westinghouse air-brake on a Brazilian railroad, some practi cal joker without the knowledger of the engineer had placed on the track in advance of the train an excellent imitation of a huge mass of rock, made of painted paste board. The obstruction was not discovered until the engine was, close upon it ; but the engineer succeeded, nevertheless, in stop-i ping his train within a few feet. of it. The joke was rather try ing to his nerves, but afforded the1 best possible demonstration of the 1 value of the brake. Never think the worse of ano ther on account of differing with you in religious or political opin ions. Every man throws on his sur roundings the snnshine or the shadow that exists in his own soul. Many a boy who handles bil lard-cue with consummate skil! can't get the hang of a snow shovel. Wound no one's feeling un necessarily ; there are thorns enough in the path of humeu life.

Now if this was a wise ,nd good law for the country, res -hy would it not be for cities, owns and villages? There is ten imes more intoxication and re ailing in these incorporated so owns than there is in the coun ry. The temptation to drink and utemperance too is far greater. 'he evil also is of much greater me vei nd of more ruinous consequen . es. There are hundreds and -ft bousands of persons living in the ani ountry who never drink except vhen they come to town and are 'ori amled there, by bar-rooms and . rog-sh.pps and intercourse with th riends. Pa Every man goes home, in the ieorpurated towns, to eat his ma inner, and why should he-not, aul Iso, to drink spirits when he th visbes to do so? He is not so mc ikely to get drunk at home as he s at a bar-room or grog-shop; a nd if he doe3, his family will at ake care of him and not let him se xpose himself fs a brute on the cer LreeLs. Experience and history do irove that very few persons drink mi o excess at home. All the drunk- sai oness we hear of in courts of . astice originate in these bar- - Ooms and grog-shops. for The judges of South Carolina r% Wa ave repeatedly said on the bench, hat nine-tenths of the crimes ried in their courts originated in to[ ntoxication! If so, and drunk nness is caused by the tempta- y ions of the bar-room, why should tei hese haunts and instigators of uin, vice and misery be licensed pri ,t all in an enlightened, civilized Z5 Ur nd Christian community ? Gaui ling houses, and houses or prosti g ution are prohibited by la% un O'c er severe penalties; and it may th e a question, w bother they are any ol aore demoralizing than drinking in aloons and grog-shops. - loi It is said that the retail license ev tLe source of a great revenue to Un he incorporated towns, and re Sil eves the citizens of heavy tax- he; tion! But let us consider how -me ruch it costs the community to n ,rest, try and feed in our jails, . II the criminals caused by drunk. tr~ uness. it will overrun theco mount received from these li enses independent of the crime, isery and pauperism caused by E hem. T "'bere is no denying the fact that temperance has beconme a men rous growing evil in the Utnited he tates, greater than in any other rei oun try in the civilized world ! Mr. eydell said some years ago tbat a n two years spent in Europe he i ever saw a drunken mn, whuilst n ot a day passed over his head inth few York that he did not see any persons intoxicated ! The e ~reat cause of this difference is. bat in Europe they have light n oe( ines and beer as a beverage, and b nAmerica our common beverage acorn whisky, which will make a H( an drunk before his thirst is uenched ! Judge Burke declared o a South Carolina jury in thbe rial of a case that 'corn whisky. ave a man a propensity to steal!' t certainly does to fight and b ~narrel and break the peace, to ommit murder, manslaughter and y ther henions crimes! We all know that drinking can ~ot be entirely snppressed, bnt cnsed temptation to drink di( bould be stopped. They have (ci topped retailing in the towns of [aurens, Char lotte, Manning and . rany otbers. In the latter town on t. was proposed to run a 'dry' and wet' ticket. The bar keepers . ~hogh't they would stack the he ~ards on the temperance ticket, ~nd opened their saloons for some ays previous to all who would w ~ome and drink free of any charge. . great many old topers went and rank freely, and on the day of isla lection all voted the dry ticket. hey said they wished the temp ation removed, a temptation er vhich they could not resist. How nany thousands of young men! re ruined by these temptations, pe per, moral and prudent all their knew many years ago a dis guished Chancellor of South rolina endowed with the high. intellect and sense of honor, a mber of the Church and in ier respects as pure as mortal n can be, who said he could not ist the temptation. B. F. PERRY. ME ANECDOTES OF AD. VERTISING. )peaking of newspapers leads to say -tbat the extended ad -tisement, as we know it, orig. ,ted with George W. Simmons er he started his 'Oak Hall, I now fully forty years since it )eared. That enterprising and iginal' merchant wrote a leng-. story of his establishment's res . and sent it to the Boston 3t, with directions that it should ke a column in length. The iouncement was a revelation in counting-room. No such enor as advertisement was ever Lrd of in that office. Mr. Beas ed his spectacles and looked the order a second time.

A picture of this yen ble structure adorns his count .-room. The lower portion was upied by stores, and the chamn -s as dwelling apartments. The res bear the signs of John mes, William Homes and A.
