Nothing Iioit. Nothing ie lost; tho drop of dew ; . That trembles on the leaf or flower Jm but czhr.l.'J, to fou ?iicw In summer's thunder shower; Perhaps to shine within the bow That fronts tho sun at fall of day Pcrohance to.sparkle in the flow Of fountains far away. So with our deeds, good or ill, They have their power scarce understood; Then let us uso our hotter will To make them rife with good; Like circles on a lako they go, Bing within ring, and never stay; Obj that our deeds were fashioned so That they might bless away! GOING TO THE BAD* CONCLUDED. "Ho took it off that evening. I was sitting smoking my pipe at that window, when he drive? np in a cab. I had heard what had happened, so I went out to see him. " 'Jack,' he says, 'I'm off for good. You must come with me. I've not treated you .well, but you must come.' ' ' ' Can't on any account, and shunt, ' says I. " 'Jock,' he says, catching hold of me, *I'm half mad already. If you don't come, I won't answer for what may happen. By-! I'll kill my? self. Just run up with me, and I swear I'll keep quiet. ' "Well, sir, they-that is, my wife and he-persuaded mo between them, and I promised to see him safe to town, on oondition he put himself into his friends' hands. You see, he had two brothers, but they had given him up, as it were; only there was a sister, and this poor girl comes up to London, and stays with her aunt, to see if sha eau persuade him to go quietly home to tho North with her; and, thinks I, if I can but see him off with her from town, I may be doing some good. So up we went, and to the Piazza, as usual. That night and the next morning I kept him sober, and towards afternoon I left him asleep. He was to seo his sister at 6 o'clock, and off I goes foi a stroll. First thing I saw when 1 got back was a hair-dresser, a-talking and laughing with the waiter outside his door. I guessed something was amiss, and rushed in. He'd got hold of the cursed brandy-bottle, as usual, and, worse than all, he'd sent for the barber, and-as true as I live-h< had got his head shaved! It was nc good swearing at him or the waiter the thing was done. " 'You mustn't go to your sister ir this state,' I saith 'Give me bei address, and I'll say you're not well and you shall see her to-morrow. ' "Not a bit of it. Nothiug wonk keep him, and he was still strong enough to be dangerous. So wi took a cab, anti set off. It was i West-end square, and as the doo opened, I saw the pretty dear her self-yes, you moy laugh, but I can' think of that poor girl without feel ing down-right sorry-I saw her pee] round the corner, waiting for him. " 'Try to be n man for once, sir,' whispered. 'Here! give me you arm, and, for mercy's sake! kee steady. ' "She came forward, holding OVJ her hand. The drunkon fool-fe he was no better-he staggers foi ward, gives a veil Uko a maniac takes his wig ofl, pitches it straigl at her-straight at her face, as I'm sinner-and falls headlong down t her feet. She gave such a screau and out runs an old lady. " 'Take him away thia instant she sings out. 'You vile man, yoi to bring him hore iu this state! *Yc are as bad as ho is! Take him awa; and, when ho's sober, tell him nevi to como near either his sister or n again!' "Tho girl had faiutetl, poor thin Altogether, it was too much. I toe him back to tho hotel, put the o lady's message down on a bit paper, told the landlord to do fa best for him, and started back Cambridge, by the night mail, could stand it no longer. And ye if I'd only known-but, no, it cou have made no diff?rence. AU tl world couldn't have kepi him fro ruin, I firmly believe" Jack here mado such n long pans that wo had to remiud him how In it was getting. "Tho fact is," ho resumed at la "I never Uke oven to think of wha coming. If it wasn't that I have p soj far, I wouldn't finish tho stoi for, I tell you, it's not pleasant me. You seo, I got hack again he as I said. Well, I was uneasy like couldn't sit still, or rest quiet, for 1 next few days. I'd a sort of presor ment that all was as wroug as could be; and my wife, she says me Bl ll " I I I I |j| I ll " 'Jack, either go back to him, and worrit yourself as you used to do, or else, let him go his own way,- and you keep "your mind quiet.' "K?t; r?r>- T could do iiolulug hui fidget myself and every one about rue. ' At last I called ouo clay on the Eorter at St. Mary's, and first thing e says is: "'It's all up with young Harriott now, at any rate. He's done for himself, and a good job it has come to something.' Mr. Sloth has been telegraphed for, to know what's to be doue with him, and he's dying at the hotel there in Covent-garden.J "I bad sufficient money in my {)ocket for tho faro. I didn't go lome, but off straight to the station, into the next train, and direct to the Piazza. And there I found bim, ns near dead as any ono could be, and no hope for him in this world. I never left him, gentlemen, afterwards. There was no shouting, or raving. He lay there as quiet as a child. In? deed, he couldn't help himself.. He could not move a leg, if it had been for the world; and be had gone down to that degree, yon could see every bone in his body. And the face! may I nover see such another again 1 It was a purple-as regular a purple as you ever saw in your life; the cheeks all fallen in; and tho eyes! I tell you there was a fire in them as fairly frightened me to look at. " 'Give him brandy, or anything he asks for,' said tho doctor, 'ho can't last moro than a day or two. ' "Mr. Sloth came up. His bro? thers were sent for, but they wouldn't como near him. As to his sister, I heard afterwards they mercifully kept it all from her, and it is about the only kind thing they did. "The end carno at last. He had been a little more sensible that af tor noon, and had talked a bit. He begged our pardon, poor follow! aye, that he did-for all bis ways, and thanked us. And once or twice he cried out that he hoped God would have mercy upon him,.for that he suffered the torments of hell already. And, though I'm not as religious as I should be, I knelt down and read a prayer or two, and he tried to follow me, poor fellow! yes, be tried to follow me. And then he took a little brandy, and lay quiet. Wo bad to keep the room dark, but as the even? ing came on, we drew up the blind, ?nd let the twilight in. It was a lovely warm night, I remoinber, and folks were going to tho theatre close by, and we could bear them laughing and talking. After a bit nothing would serve him but I must lift up his head, aud hold him; and so I got on tho bed, and took him in my arms, and ho lay with bis head ou my shoulder. Oh! gentlemen, if you could bavo smelt tho hot fumes of brandy that came up from that poor face just under mine. Suddenly he threw his long, bony arms round my body, aud clenched them fast, and slept; and there I sat, and him hold? ing mo tight, and it got darker and darker; and tho man with me, he says, "I'll go and get a drop of ton while he's sleeping; and so I was loft alone with bini. I was wearied my self, and somehow I fell a thinking, and gradually-it was all so still and solemn-I went into a sort of doze How long we were thero together ] don't know. At last, in comes tin? man again, with a light, and awoki me. Mr. Harriott had me still ai tight as ever. " 'Is he sleeping yet?' says the iel low. 'Let's have a look nt him.' "Ho brings the candle near hi face, and touches him. "'Good God!'bo cries, 'ho's beei dead this hour; he's as cold as i stone.' "Gentlemen, I had been sitting al that time in the arms of a dean mau I They could not unclench those band of his, or tako bis arms from mo until they had put two men to it They had to carry mo off to bod, am sond for the doctor, for it nearly kill ed me. "I had a leaden shell and a coffi made for him, for the doctor warne me be must be buried directly nftn bis death. When 1 got up, it wa just in time to follow him to th grave. His brother had come, an told me I might go with him, if liked. Mr. Perry and gentlemen they buried the poor fellow in a con mon pauper's grave, and sent bi body in the pauper carriage. I wr tho only one who put ou a piece < crape and a black cout for him. H brother walked after the clergymai in his ordinary every-day clothes, an a stick in his hand; saw bim put ii the earth shoveled over him, au turned away aa from a dog.
