The Drunkard's Home. Night's sabio curtain wido was flung In lengthened folds o'er hill and da lc, And nature's twinkling lamps were hung, ID toarful Bilanoo o'er tho valo. A fooblo, tapor piorood tho shades, Whore stood a cottage, low and poor, Aud whispering winds sighed through tho glado And moaned arouud this oottago door. Tho playful \<tten, wearied grown, Bat by tho hearth, in listless maso, Aud tho hooso cricket's chirping song Boomed but tho dirgo of other days. A female fer n, in sorrow clad, Moved blowly in thia midnight gloom, lier oyes so dim, hor heart so sad, Sho lookod a specter from tho tomb. And folded io hor trembling arms, A sweet but dying infant lies; With all hor hopos, with all its charms, This precious gift from ileavon dies. A mother's soul is in her oyo, A mother's heart is filled with grief, No friendly oar to hoar hor orios, No friendly hand to givo relief. Alono sho bonds beneath tho stroke, Yet grasps tho baud that holds tho rod; Alouo sho drinks tho bitter oup, Aud yields her treasurer baok to God. Onoo again she kissed its form, That bud of hopo sho could not save; Aud while bor heart in anguish mourned, Alone, she dressed it it for tho grave. But whoio was ho, who onoo had lcd, With youthful joy and manly pride, This fragile form with fairy tread, And at tho altar claimed his bride. Where was ho, whose approving smile, Was once thc sunshiuo of that homo, WllOSO presence lingering hours beguiled, And taught alTcotiou nut to roam. 'Neath that sumo roof whero nature weeps, And youthful hopes ure drowned iu tours, Tho erring ouo unconscious sleeps, Unmoved by grief, unawed by fears. Ah! once ho looked on rosy wine, Aud listened to its syrcu song; And now ho bows to folly's shricu, Aud worships with the giddy throug. Such nro tho scones which Bacchus brings, When shel lured 'neath fair Hymen's bowers, And oft tho asp, with a thousand stings, Lies culled among tho fairest flowers. SCARED OUT OF A WIFE. Tho narrativo which .1 am about to relate was told mo one black, cold night in u country parlor. It was one of thoso nights in midwinter, when tho wiud swept over tho land, muking everything tinglo with its frosty breaih, that I was sealed before a blazing Uro, surrounded by a jolly half dozen boys aud un old bachelor-Peter Green, about toity and eight years old, It was just tho night without, to make thoso within oujoy a good story, so that oach of us had to tell his favorito story, save Mr. Groou; and as bc was a jolly story teller, wo wcro somewhat surprised to hear him say: "L havo no story that would in terest you," so wc had to lind other enter tainmouts for a while, when one of the buys told mo to ask him how it happened that ho novor got married. So I did. "Well gentlemen," ho began, "it don't seem right for mo to tull you how that hap pened, but ns it is about myself I don't euro much. You sec when 1 wus young wo had to walk as high os livo miles to church uud singing school, whioh was our chief em ployment. Bat this dou't havo anything tc do with my uot getting a wife, but I just wanted to show you that wo had sumo trou bio in them days in getting our sport. John Smith aud I were like 'Mary one her little lamb.' Whero ouo went tin other was shuro to go. Wo went to seo twi sisters, and as wo wcro not tho bout boy imaginable, tho old gentleman took umbragi and would not allow us to como nour tin house; so we would take tho girls to thc om of the lane, and thero wo would havo t< tako tho final kiss. Wu soon got tired of that ?ort of fuu and I told John on our way to singing school ono night, that I was going into tin house, too. Ho said tho old mau would run uno if I did I told him I was going to risk it anyhow let como what would. He said ho would risk it if I would. So homo wo wont with the girls. Who wc got to tho end of tho lane, I told th girls wc proposed going all tho way. Thoy looked nt cooli other in a way didn't like too well, but said they (thc ol folks) would bc iu bcd, so they didn't oar if wo did. They wero a litllo moro surprised, yoi when I told them wc thought of going i a little wliilo, but as all was quiet we ha no trouble in getting into the kitchen. Then and there wo had our first cour aud I made ap my mind to ask Sallio to b my wife tho next limo I esme. it wus now past tho turn in tho nigh and os I had four miles to walk, I toi John wo had better bo going. So w stepped out on tho poroh, but just as Vi did so, the sky was lit up by lightning, au one trememduus thunder poul rolled alon tho mountain side. Its cohoo had not die out iu tho far off vales until the raiu boga to pour from tho garnered fullness of til clouds. Wo waited for it to stop until w wore all asleop, wlion thc girls said w should go to bod in tho little room at tl head of tho stairs whioh lcd out of tl kitchen; as their father didn't get up earl; wo could bo homo before tho old folks wot astir. After bidding tho girls a swe good-night-and hugging thom n littlo uud wishing thom pleasant dreams, or promising them to como book on tho no: Saturday night, wc started for bed. Wo didn't havo far to go, ns tho bt stood near tho hoad of the stairs. John was soon in bod, but ns I w always a little slow, and full of curiosity, was looking around tbo little room, At last 1 thought I would sit down on chest whioh was spread over with a ni white (doth, while i drow oil my boots. ? down I sat, whuti tho stars of tho Kost, Wont plump into a big cu nt ard pic. . r * tt J.'JJJiJlJ'JL'.'Wej-tl1'!1.1 ffff-^gU'Bi.*-'..1!1.! 1 thought Jobo would dio laughing, for ho said I had smashed that ou s tard all to thuudor, aud the plate right io two. You soo wo had to bo awful quiet, so that tho old mun would not hoar. 1 waa uow ready to get iu bod, so I put tho light out, and piokod up my boots, thinking to put thom in a moro convenient place whoo down ono log weat through a pipe-bole, which had boon covored by paper, up to my bip. Now ono part of mo WBB up stairs, whilo tho longest part of mo was in the hitobon. As my log was very long, Ht reached a sholf which was occupied with dishes, pans, coffee pots, otp-, and it turned over with a tremendous crash. The girls had not yet retired, and I could hear thom laugh flt to kill themselves. I folt awful ashamed and soared until my heart was in my throat, for I cxpeotod tho old man every moment, I extricated my leg from tho confounded bolo just in time, for tho old lady looked into tho room door, and asked what all tbut noise was about. Tho girls put her off as best they could, and I wont to bed, whilo John was strang ling under tho cover to keop from laughing aloud. Wo soon wout off iuto tho land of tUeatus with the hopo of waking early. 1 wish I could tell you my dreams, but it would toko mo too long. Ono moment I would fancy mysolf by tho sido of Sallie, sipping nedor from her hoavon-bodowed lips, and next I would see tho old mau flourishing his oane obovo roy hood. This nil carno to an end by John giving mo a kick. On waking and looking around, I saw -J uh n'a eyes OB big as my (1st, whilo tho sun Was beaming iu at tho window. What to do wo oouldu't tell, for wc henrd tho old mau having family prayers in tho kitohcu. John looked out of tho window and said wo could got down over tho porch roof. Got out and dress os Boon os possible, ho said. So in my hurry my foot got fastened iu tho bcd- clothes, and out I tumbled hoad foremost, turned over, and down tho stops until 1 struck tho door which was fastened by a wooden buttou, and giving away, out 1 rolled in front of tho old man. Ho threw up his hands and cried, "Lord savo us!" for he thought I was tho dovil. Tho old lady screamed until you oould havo heard her a milo. I was so scared and bewildered that [ could not get up at once. It was warm weather and I didn't have anything ou but n shirt. When I heard tho girls sniokeriug it made mo mad, and J jumped up aud rushed out of tho door, tho grouter part of my shirt on thc old iron door latch. Off I started for tho burn, and when half wuy through thc yard thc dog set up a howl and went tor mo. When 1 got into tho barnyard I had to run through a flock of sheep, oud among them was an old ram who backed up a little and started for me. With ono bound 1 escaped his blow, sprang into the barn, nod began to climb up thc logs into thu mow, when au old mother hen pounced upon my legs, picking them until tho bled. I threw myself upon tho hay, and after John had slid down tho porch into a hogs head of rain water, ho oamc to mu with oue of lite legs of my pants. Ho found mo completely prostrated Part of my shirt, my hat, ono leg of mj pauts, vest, Btookings, ntoktio 'and booti were left behind. And--that is why I never got married Southern Independence. Thc folowiug characteristic little skctcl is from tho Natchez (Miss.) Democrat: 'Miallo, stranger, you scorn to bo goiti' t market?" "YOB, sir, I am." "What aro you carying that plow olot)| roi?" "Going to send it to Pittsburg." "To Pittsburg, inPonnsrUania?" "You're mighty right, I am." "What arc you going to Bend it ther for?" "To get sharpened." "All tho way to Pittsburg to get sharp encd?" "You bet! Wc'vo starved our blaok smith out. Ho pulled up stakes thc oth< day aud wont tn Texas." "Well, that's rathor a novel idoa, m friend-sending a plow so fur to got sharp oucd." "Not so novel OB you heard it wos. AV do our milling in St. Louis." "Is that so?" "You'ro right it is. Wo used to \\V\ a mill at Punkinvinc Creek, but tho own was too poor to keep it up sud so v turo od to getting our grinding done nt S Louis." "You don't mean to say you send yoi grist all tho way lo St. Louis by rail?" "I didn't 6ay nothing about grist-v hain't got no grist to scud. But we get o Hour and meal from St. Loui*." "I soe you havo a hido in your wagon "Yes, our old cow died last woo Muioh winds blowcd tho life out'n h< Sendin' her hide to Boston to got tanned." "All tho woy to Boston?

But wha thu uso bein' taxed to build railroads 'thu you get thc good of them? Used to ha u tanyard over at Liokskillct, and a sin maker a1,op, too. Hut they kcrilummuxoc "Kcrltuojuiuxod-what's that?"

"Don't cxpoot lo get no leather at all expcot to get ?hoes somo day, made Boston or thereabouts." "llathor a misfortune to loso a milk ot my friend??' "Not so much of a misfortuoo as j hoard it was. Monstrous sight of abu in' and nubbin in a oow, and milkiu' night and mprnin' aud gcttiu' only ab threo quarts a day." "What aro you going to do for milk?' ? "Sena North for it." \ "Send North for milk?" ? "Yes; concentrated milk and Gos! butter." "Oh! I seo tho point." "Mighty handy tilings, thoso railroad I make thom ?ankco feilen; do all our j for un cow-do oar smithln,' aud griodin', and tonnlu", and wilkin* and ohurnin." "Yeo, we go our bottom uiokel on ootton, Sondin' it up to Massaohusotts to get oardod, spun ?nd wovo. Tiwo'll como whoo we'll send it ibero to be ginned, then wo'll bo happy. Monstrous sight of trouble ruoniog those gins." "That would be rather expoaeivo, scuding ootton in Bead." "No moro so than thom Western foll?is pays when thoy send oom K Jt and get a dollar n bushel ?od pay six bits freight. Besides, as I said before, what is the aso of paying for railroads 'thout wo uso tho road?" "You seem to approoiate the valuo of railroads." "I think wo ought-wo pay enough for 'em." "I rookon you fatten your own pork?" '?Well, you rcokon wrong, stranger. I get thom Blinny fol lera to do that fur me. lt's mighty oonvonient toe) monstrous sight of troublo toting a big basketfull of oom tinco times a day to hogs in a pon, especi ally when you hain't got nono to toto it to." "I should tblnk so." ''There's ono thing looking though to make tho business completo." "What's that?" "They ought to send thom hogs ready cooked. G?ttin' and proparin' wood for cookin', takes up a heap of timo that ought by rights to bo employed in the cotton patoh. I waa sayin' to my old woman tho other day, if wo Mississippi folks got our cookin' and wasbin' dono up North and sent by express, we'd be OB happy aa offioo holders." "Your horse in tho lead thoro socnis lo bo lame." "Yes, needs shoeiu'.

Gee, Ball, back, Braudy, I'm glad I seed you, stranger." KINDNESS.-Kindness is as cheap ns it s beautiful. It may bo givon in a word or i look, without diminishing ought of our irealth.
