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

"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
