"I have brought your dinner, fathor," The blacksmith's daughter said, As she took from her arm tho kottlo And lifted its shining lid. "Tboro is not any pie or pudding, So I will givo you this. And upon his toil-worn forehead She left tho childish kias. The blacksmith took off his apron And diued in happy mood, Wondoriug much at tho savor Hid in his bumble food: While all about him were visions Full of prophetic bliss; But ho novor thought of magic In his little daughter's kiBs. While she, with her kottlo swinging. Merrily trudged away. Stopping at eight of a squirrel Catching somo wild bird's lay. And J thought how many a shadow Of life and fate we would miss, If always our frugal dinners Wore seasoned with a kies. TIIK DRUNKARD'S DEATH. DY CHAULES DICKENS. We will be bold to say that there is soarcely a mnn in the constant habit ot walking, day after day, through any of the crowded thoroughfares of London, who cannot recollect among tho people whom bo "knows by sight," to uso a familiar phrase, some being of abject and wretched appearance, whom ho remem? bers to have seen in a very different con? dition, whom ho has observed sinking lower and lower, by almost impercepti? ble degrees, and tho shabbiness and utter destitution of whose appearanco, at last, strikes forcibly and painfully upon bim os he passes by. Is there any man who bas mixed much with society, or whoso avocations have caused him to mingle, nt one time or other, with a great number of people, who cannot call to mind tho time when some shabby, miserable wretch, in rags and filth, who shuffles past him now in all the squalor of disease and poverty, was a respecta? ble tradesman, or a clerk, or a man following some thriving pursuit, with good prospects and decent means? or canuot any ol oar readers call to mind, from among the list of their quondam acquaintances, some fallen and degraded man, who lingers abont the pavement in hungry misery-from whom every one turns coldly away, and who preserves himself from sheer starvation nobody knows how? Alas! such cases are of too frequent occurrence to bo rare items in any man's experience; and but too often arise from one cause-drunkenness -that fierce rage for the slow, sure poison that over-steps every other con? sideration; that oasts aside wife, chil? dren, friends, happiness and station, and hurries its victims madly on to degrada? tion and death. Some of these men have been im? pelled, by misfortune and misery, to the vice that has degraded them. Tho ruin j of worldly expectations, tho death of those they loved, the sorrow that slowly consumes, but will not break the heart, has driven them wild; and they present the hideous spectacle of madmen, slowly dying by their own bauds. But by far the greater part have wilfully, and with open oyes, plunged into tho gulf from which the man who once enters it never rises more, but into which ho sinks deeper and deeper down until recovery is hopeless. Such a man as this once stood by the bed-side of his dying wife, while his children knelt around and mingled low bursts of grief with their innocent prayers. The room was scantily and meanly furnished, and it needed but a glance at tho palo form from which the light of lifo was fast passing away, to know that grief, and want, and anxious care had been busy at tho heart for many a weary year. An elderly female, with her face bathed ia tears, wns sup? porting the head of the dying woman her daughter-on her arm. But it was not toward her that tho wan face turned; it wns not her hand that the cold and trembling fingers clasped; they pressed the husbaud's arm; the eyes so soou to bo closed in deuth, rested on his face, and the man shook beneath their gaze. His dress was slovenly and disordered, his face inflamed, his eyes blood-shot and heavy. Ho had boen summoned from some wild debauch to the bed of sorrow and death. A shaded lamp by the bed-side cast a dim light on the figures around, and left tho remainder of tho room iu thick, deep shadow. The silence of night pre? vailed without tho house, and tho still? ness of death was in tho ohnmber. A watch hung over tho mantel-shplf; its low ticking was tho only sound that broko tho profound quiet, but it was a solemn one, for well they know who heard it, that before it lind recorded the passing of another hour, it would beat tho kuell of a departed spirit. It is a dreadful thing to wait and watch for tho approach of death; to kuow that hopo is gone, and recovery imposs: ble; and to sit aud count tho dreary hours through long, long nights-such nights as only watchers by tho bed of sickness know. It chills the blood to hear tho dearest secrets of tho heart-the pent-up, hidden secrots of many years pourod forth by tho unconscious help? less hoing boforo you; and to think how little tho reserve and cunning of a whole lifo will avail, when fovor aud delirium toar oil" tho mask ut last. Straugo tales havo been told iu tho wanderings of dying mehr tales mp f?ll ol guilt and crime, tliat those who stood by tho sick person's couch have fled in horror and affright, loas they should bo scared to madness by what'they heard and saw; and inanyvn ^wretch* has died alone, rav? ing of deeds the very name of which has driven the boldest mun away. But no Buoh ravings were to bo heard at the bed-side by which tho children knelt. Their half-stifled sobs and mean? ings alone broke the silence of tho lonely chamber. And when at last tho mother's grasp relaxed, and, turning ono look from tho children to their father, she vainly s?rovo to speak, and fell baokwurd on tho pillow, all was so calm and tran? quil, that she seemed to sink to sleep. They leaned over her; they called upon her name, softly at first, aud then iu thu loud and piercing tones of desperation. But there was no reply. They listened for her breath, but no sound came. They felt for tho palpitation of tho heart, bnt no faint throb responded to tho touch. That heart was broken, and she was dead! Tho husband sunk iuto a chair by the bed-side, and clasped his hands upon his burning forehead. He gazed from child to child, but when a weeping eye met his, ho quailed boneath its look. No word of comfort was whisporcd in his ear, no look of kindness lighted on his faco. All shrunk from and avoided him; and when at last he staggered from tho room, no one sought to follow or console the widower. Tho time had been whon many a friend would havo crowded round him in his affliction, and many a heart-felt condo? lence would have met him in his grief. Where were they now? One by one, friends, relations, the commonest ac? quaintance even, had fallen off and de? serted tho drunkard. His wife alone bad cluug to him in good and evil, in sickness and poverty, and how had he rewarded her? Ho had reeled from tho tavern to her bed-side, in timo to see her dio. Ho rushed from tho house, aud walked swiftly through the streets. Remorse, fear, shame, nil crowded on his mind. Stupefied with drink, and bewildered with tho scene he had just witnessed, he re-entered the tavern ho had quitted shortly before. Glass succeeded glass. His blood mounted, and his brniu whirled round. Death 1 Every oue must die, and why not she? Sho waa too good him; her relations had often told him so. Curses on them! Had they not deserted her, and left her to whine away the timo at home? Well she was dead, and happy perhaps. It was better as it was. Another glass one moro! Hurrah ! It was a merry life while it lasted; and ho would make thc most of it. Time went on; tho three little chil? dren who were left to him grew up, and were children no longer. ' The father re? mained tho same-poorer, shabbier ami more dissolute-looking, but the same con? firmed and irreclaimable drunkard. Thc boys had, long ago, run wild in thc streets, and left him; tho girl alone re? mained, but she worked hard, and worth or blows could always procure him some thing for tho tavern. So he went on in the old coarse, and a merry life he led. One night, as early as ten o'clock-foi the girl had been sick for many days and there was, consequently, little tc spend at tho public-house-he bent hit steps homeward, bethinking himself thal if he would not have ber able to earn mo ney, it would bo as well to apply to tho pa rish surgeon, or, at all events, to take th? trouble of inquiring what ailed her, which he had not yet thought it wort! while to do. It was a wet Dccembe: night; tho wiud blew piercing cold, nnc tho rain poured heavily down. H< begged a half-pence from a passer-by and having bought a small loaf, (for i was his iutorest to keep tho girl alive i he could,) ho shu flied onward as fusta the wind and ruin would let him. At tho back of Fleet street, and lyiuj between it and the water-Bide, are sovo ral mean and narrow courts, which forn a portion of Whitefriars; it was to on of those that he directed his steps. Tho alley into which ho turned migh for filth and misery have competed will tho durkest coruer of this ancient sanctti ary in its dirtiest and most lawless time The houses, varying from two stories ii height to four, were staiued with over; indescribable hue that long exposure ti tho weather, damp, and rottenness ctn impart to tenement;: composed original ly of tho roughest and coarsest materials The windows were patched with paper aud stuffed with tho foulest rags; th doors wero falling from their hinges polos, with lines ou which to dry clothe* projected from every casement, nm .sounds of quarreling or drunkenness h sued from every room. The solitary oil lamp in tho contre ri tho court bael been blown out, either b violence of tho wiud or tho act of som inhabitant who had excellent reasons fu objecting to his residence being rendel ed too conspicuous; and tho only Ugh which foll upon tho broken and uneve pavement was derived from candles tho here anti there twinkled in tho rooms c such of tho more fortunato residents 11 could uflbrd to indulge in so expensive luxury. A gutter rau down the ceulr of the alley-ull tho sluggish odors o which had been called forth by the rail and as the wiud whistled through tho ol houses, tho doors and shutters creake upou their hinges, and tho window shook in their frames, with a violonc which every moment seemed to thronte tho tlestructiou of tho whole place. Tho man whom wo havo followed int this deu walked on in the darkness, some times stumbling into tho gutter, and 1 others into some branch repositories t tho garbage which had been formed b tho ruin, until ho roached tho last hoi? iu tho court. The door, or rnthcr win wus left of it, stood ajar, for tho couvt uienco of tho mimerons lodgers; and li proceeded to grope his way np the ol and broken stair, to the attic story. Ho was within iv step or two of hi room door, wheu it opened, and a gir whose uai?crublu aud emaciated appear? ance was only to be equaled by that of the candle which she shaded with her hand, peeped- anxiously ont. "Ia that yon, father?" asked the girl. "Who else should it bo?" replied the man grnflly. "What are 'you trembling at? It's little enough thut I've had to drink to-day, for there's no drink with? out money, and no money without work. What the devil's the mattor with the girl?" "lam uot well, fathor-Dot at all well," said the girl, busting into tears. "Ah!" replied tho man, in a tone of a person who is compelled to admit n very unpleasant faot, to which he would rath? er remain blind, if he could. "1'ou must get better somehow, for wo must have money. You must go to tho parish doctor and make him give you some me? dicine. They're paid for it, damn 'em. What aro you standing bofore tho door for? Let mo como in, cuu't you?" "Father," whispered tho girl, shut? ting the door behind her, and placing herself against it, "William has come buck." "Who?" said the man, with a start. "Hush," replied tho girl, "William; brother William." "And what does ho want?" said tho man, with an effort at composure-"mo? ney? meat? drink? Ho's come to tho wrong shop for that, if bo dees. Give mo the candle-give me tho cnndlo, fool -I ain't going to hurt him. " He snatched tho candle from her hand, and walked iuto the room. Sitting on an old box, with his hoad resting on his hand, and his eyes fixed on a wretched cinder fire that was smouldering on tho hearth, was a young mau of about two-and-twenty, misera? bly clad in au old coarse jacket and trowsers. He started up when his father entered. "Fasteu tho door, Mary," said tho young mau hastily-"fasten the door. You look as if you didn't know me, father. It's long enough since you drovo me from home; you may well for? get mc." "And what do you want here, now?" said the father, scating himself on a stool on tho other side of tho firo-plaeo. "What do you want here, now?" "Shelter," replied tho son. "I'm iu trouble; that's enough. If I'm caught I shall swing; that's certain. Caught I shall be, unless I stop here; that's as certain. Aud there's au end of it." "You mean to say you've been robbing or murdering, then?" said the father. "Yes, I do," replied the sou. "DOCF it surprise you, father?" Ho looker! steadily in tho mnn's face, but ho with? drew his eyes, and bout them on the ground. "Where's your brothers?" ho said, after a long pause. "Where they'll never trouble you," re plied his sou; "John's gone to America, aud Henry's dead." "Dead !" said the father, with a Bbud dor, which even he could not suppress, "Dead!" replied the young man. "H< died in my arms-shot like a dog, by t game-keeper. Ho staggered back, ] caught him, and his blood trickled dowr my hands. It poured out from his sidi like water. He was weak and it blind?e him, but he threw himself down on hil knees, on the grass, and prayed to God that if his mother was in heaven, Hi would hear her prayers for pardon fo: her youngest son. 'I was her favorih boy, Will,' he said, 'and I am glad t< think, now, that when she was dying though I was a very young child then and my little heart was almost bursting I knelt down ut tho foot of tho bed, ant thanked God for having made mo si fond of her as to have never once dom anything to bring the tears iuto he eyes. O, Will, why was sho taken away aud father left!' There's his dyini words, fathor," said the young man "make tho best you eau of 'om. Yoi struck him across tho face, iu a drunkei tit, the morning he ran away; and here' the end of il!" Tho girl wept aloud; aud tho father sinking his head upon his kuees, rocke himself to and fro. "If I am taken," 6aid tho young mau "I shall bo carried buck into the countr and hung for that mutt's murder. The cannot trace me here, without your a.1 sistance, father. For aught I know, yo may give mo np to justice; but unies you do, here I stop, until I eau vontur to escape ubroad." For two whole days, all three romaine iu tho wretched room without stirrin out. On tim third evening, howevei the girl was worse than she had been ye and tho few scraps of food they hu wore gone. It was indispensably nccei sary that somebody should go out; au as tho girl was too weak and ill, tho ft thor went, just at night fall. He got some medicine for tho gir and a trifle in the way of pecuniary u; sislaiice. On his way back, ho earne sixpence by holding a horse; and li turned homeward with enough mono to supply their most pressing wants ft two or three days to come. Ho hud t puss the public-house. He lingered ft an instant, walked past it, turned bac again, lingered once more, and iinall slunk in. Two men whom he had ut observed were on tho watch. Tho wero on tho point of giving up thai search in despair, when his loitering a traeted their atteution; and when ho ci tcred tho public-house, they followc him. "You'll drink with mo, master," sui one of them, proffering bim a glass t liquor. "And mo, too,'' said tho other, r< plenishing the glass as soon as it wi drained of its contents. The mau thought of his hungry chi uren, and his son's danger. But the wero nothing to tho drunkard. He di drink; and his reason left him. "A wet night, Warden," whisperc ono of the men in his ear, us ho at. lengt turned to go away, aft'or spending i liquor one-half of tho money on whiel perhaps, his daughter's life depended. 'The right sort of night for oar friends ia hiding, Master Warden," whispered the other. % \ "Sit down here," eaid tho one who had spoken first, drawing him into a cor? ner. "Wo have been looking arter the yonng un. We came to tell him its all right now, bat wo couldn't find him, 'cause wo hadn't got tho precise direc? tion. But that niu't strange; for I don't think ho know'd it himself when lie come to LondoD, did he?" "No, he didn't," replied tho father. Tho two mon exchanged glances. "There's a vessel down at tho docks, to sail at mid-night, when it's high-wa? ter," resumed the first speaker, "and wo'll put him on board. Iiis passage is taken in auothor name, and what's bet? ter than that, it's paid for. It's lucky wo met you." "Very," Baid thc second. "Capital luck," said tho first, with a wink to his companion. "Great," replied thc second, with n slight nod of intelligence. .Another glass here; quick"-said tho first speaker. Aud iu five minutes moro tho father hud unconsciously yield? ed up his own son into tho hangman's hands. Slowly and heavily tho timo dragged along, as tho brother aud sister, in their miserable hiding-place, listened in anx? ious suspenso to the slightest sound. At length a heavy footstep was heard upon the stair; it approached nearer ; it reached tho lauding-and the father staggered into tho room. The girl saw that ho was intoxicated, and advanced with thc candle in her hand to meet him ; she st o pp ed short, gave a loud scream, and fell senseless ou the ground. She had caught sight of tho shadow of a mon reflected on the floor. They both rushed in, and in another in? stant the young man was a prisoner, and hand-cuffed. 'Very quietly done," said ono of the men to his companion, "thanks to the old man. Lift np the girl, Tom-come, come, it's no uso crying, young wo mnu. It's all over now, aud cau't be helped." Tho young mau stooped for au instant over tho girl, and thou turned fiercely round upon his father, who had reeled ugainst tho wall, and was gazing on tho group with drunken stupidity. "Listen to me, father," ho said, in a tone that made tho drunkard's flesh creep. "My brother's blood, and mine, ou your head; I never had a kind look, or word, or care, from you, and, alive or dead, 1 never will forgive you. Die wheu you will, or how, ? will bo with you. I speak as a dead mau now, and I warn you, fathor, that as surely as you must ono day stand before your Maker, so surely shall your children be there, baud iu baud, to cry for judg? ment against you." He raised his manacled hands in a threatening atti? tude, fixed his eyes on his shrinking parent, and slowly left tho room; and neither father nor sister ever beheld him more on this side of the grave.
