Charles Nelson hud reached his thirtyfifth year, and at that hge he found himself! going down hill, lie had once been one of thejnmpio.st of mortal*, and no blessing was waptcd to complete the sum of his happi-! ness. lie had one of the best of wives, and his ^Uildtpa* were intelligent and comely, lit? torn b.carportt'er by trade, and no man Copfd commapd belter wages, or be more '*Uto of work. If any man alternated to build a house, Charles Nelson must boss the job, nnd for miles around, people sought j Itiin U> work for them. Uut a change had i ooftio over Jris life. A demon had met him ' on his way find he had turned back with the evil spirit. A new and experienced carpenter had been *ent for by those who would no {onger depend upon Nelson, and he had settled in the village, and now look Nelson'* . place. * *; "v- On a back street, w here the great trees threw their green branches over the way, ^ ^.1 . _.ii. t. >1 i wtvjstm m miumi l'uum^c, which hh'i mice uwii ? the pride of its initiated.

Tim house itself had once been white, but it ( s*?9' How dingy atul dark, llright green blinds had of)ce, adonicd (he . w indows, but they li-ul now been taken off and sold. Add the windows themselves bespoke poverty and neglect, for, in many places, the glass was gone, and shingles, rags, and old hats had tak?|) its place, iff single look at the house and its accomnitnimeiit told the story. , !(. W?e the drunkards home! Within rat a woiuati, vol in tho early years of life, ami though sh<* wa? still hand ""won^e to look upon, the bloom was gone from 1 Ttef check, and brightness had faded from her eyes. Poof Mary Nelson ! Once she 1 had bean tho happiest among the happy, b?t flow ifone eould be more miserable I < Near her sat two children, both beautiful in 1 " i*fi .r? form ntid features; but their garbs were alli patched And worn, and their feet were shoe-, less. The; eldest wjis,thirteen yews of age, and the other two years younger The mother was hearing them recite n grammar* lesfcon. for slio hnd resolved that Iter children should not grow up in ignorance.? They8 could not attend the common ecbool, for thoughtless children sneered at them, and made them the subject of sport and ridicule ; but in this respect they did not sutler, for their mother was well educated, and she devoted stieh time as she could sparo, to theii instruction. * For more than two years, Mary Nelson had earned all the money that had beer, in ' that boils-*. Too pie Hired her t6 wash, iron I aifd sew for them,' and beside the money1 paid, they gave her npmy articles of food , and clothing. .So she lived op, and the on-; ly joys that dwell with her was teaching her children and praying to Ood. Supper time came, and Charles Nelson' came reeling home, lie had worked the | day before'at helping to move a building, and thus had earned money enough to find him in ruin for several days. As he stumbled into the house, the children crouched close to their mother, and even she shrank nwav, for sometimes her husband was uglv when thus intoxicated. O, how that man had changed within two years! Once there was not a liner; looking man in town. In frame, lie had j been tall, stoiit, compact, and perfectly form -1 ed, while his face t>ore the very ideal of inaulv benuiv. -lli* noble form was now bent, his limbs shrunken and tremulous, and ' hi.s face ali bloated and di-ligured. II?wn?' not the man who hud once been the fond j htisbnnd nnd doating father. The loving; wife had prayed and wept nnd implored,' hut nil to no purpose; the husband was bound to bis drinking companions of. the' bar-room, and he would not break the bonds, j That evening Mary Nelson ate no supper,; for all the foon she had in the house there was not more than enough for her husband and children ; hut when her husband bad gone, she went out and picked a few berries, and thus k?'pt her vital energies alive. That night the poor woman prayed long and earnestly, and her little ones prayed with her. On the following morning Charles Nelson sought the bar-room .as toon as he arose, but lie was sick and faint, and tne liquor would not revive him, for it would tiot remain on his stomach, lie had drank very deeply the night before, and he felt miserable. At length, however, lie managed to keep down a few glasses of hot sling, but the close ntinospliero of the bar-rooin seemed to stifle him, and he went out. The poor man had ju*t sense enough to; know that if lie could sleep he should feel ! better, imd lie hiui just feeling enough to1 wish to keep awav from home ; so he wan ( ilered off towards a wood not far from the j v ilfnge, and sunk down !>v the t-ide of a stone wall, and was soon buried in a piofound slumber. When he awoke the sun was shining down hot upon him, and raising himself to a sitting posture, he gazed about him. lie knew that it was afternoon, for the sun was tinning towards the west, lie was just upon the point of rising when his motion was arrested by the sound of voices near at hand, lie looked through a chink in the wall, and just upon the other side he saw his two children picking berries, wbile a little further off were two more girls, the children of the carpenter, who had lately moved into tlie village. 41 Come, Katy," said one of these latter girls to her companion, " let's go away fiom lictui, because, if anybody should see us w ith tho?ee girls, they'd think we played with I thi-m. Come." " Hut the berries arc thick here," remonstrated the other. " Never mind?we'll come out some time when these little ragged diunkard's girls arc not here." So tho two favored ones went away, hand in hand, and Nelly and Nancy Nelson sal! uowji upon uie grass aim criea. > " Don't cry, Nancy," said the eldest, throwing her arms around her sister's neck.' " Hut you are crying, Nelly." " Oli, I can't help it," sobbed tho sliicken one. " Why do they hlanie .lis !" murmured : Nancy, gazing up into her sister's face.? ' " O, we are not to blame. We are good ' am) kind, and loving, and we never hurt anybody. O. I wi.?h somebody would love j us, I should be so happy." " But we are loved, Nancy. Only think of our noblo mother. Who could lovo us as she does ?" 44 1 know?I know, Nelly, but that nin't! all. Why don't papa love us as lie used lol Don't you remember when lie used to kiss , us and make us so happy kO, how I wish he could I>e co g?dd to us once moro. lie is not? " " Hush, Sissy! don't say anything more. ITo may jj^ goird to us again ;*if ho kitew how we 1Ave him 1 know he would. And ; lien 1 believe God is good, and he surely j will help ns sometime, for mother pmyes to ( him every day." 44 Yes," answered Nanny, "I know she does; and God most he our father some lime." i " lie in our father now, Sissy .* " I know ii; but ho inn>t be all wo shall have f?y arid by, for don't you remember that mother told us that a cold finger wn? laid upon her heart, and thnl she might leave us one of these days?and--*- " " Ilusli. Don't, don'ti Nancy : you'll? " These words were choked with sobs and tears, and the sisters wept long together. At length, they arose and went away, for they saw more children coming. As soon as the little ones were ont of night, Charles Nelson started to his feet. Ilis hands were clenched, and his eyes were fixed upon a vacant point with an eager gaze. " My God !" he gasped, u what a villain I am ! Look at me now ! What a stale 1 am in, suul what have I sacrificed to bring myselt to it ! And they love nie yet and prav for me 1" lie said no more, but for sonic moments iie stood with bis bands Mill clenched, nnd eyes fixed. At length bis gaze was turned upward, and bis clasped bauds were raised above bis bead. A moment be remained so, and then bis bands dropped by bis side, and bo started homeward. When be reached bis borne be found bis wife and children in tears, but be affected not to notice it. die drew a shilling from bis pocket?it was bis last?nnd banding it to bis wife, bo asked her if she would send and get him some milk and Hour, and make I liiin some porridge. The wife was startled by the strange tone in which ibis was spoken, for it sounded just as that voice bad sounded in days go.nv by. The porridge was made and nourishing, and Charles ate it all. lie went to bed early, and early on the following morning bo was up. lie asked bis wife if she bad milk nnd Hour enough to make him anotber bowl of porridge. " Yes, Charles," she said. " We have not) touched it." " Then, if you arc willing, I should like some in ore." The wife moved quickly about the work, and, ere long, the food was prepared. The husband ale it, and fell belter. He washed and dressed, and would have shaved bad bis band been steady enough. lie left bis home and went at once to a man, who bad ju<t commenced to frame a bouse. "Mr. Manly," he said, addressing the gentleman alluded to, "I have drank the last alcoholic beverage that ever passes my :>|>s. A:-k nie no more questions, but believe me now while you see tnc true. Will you give me work ?" 44 Charles Nelson, are you in earnest?" asked Manly, in surprise. 44 So much so, sir, that were dealTi to stand upon my tight hand, and yonder bar room upon my left, I would go with the grim messenger first." "Then, there i* my house lying about us in rough timber ami boards, 1 pincc it all in youi hands, and shall look to you to finish it. While I can- trust you, you may trust me. Come into my office and you shall have the plan 1 have drawn." We will not. tell you how the sfout man wept, nor how bis noble friend shed tears to see him thus; but Charles Nelson took tlie plan?and, having studied it for a while, he went out where the men were at work getting the timber together, and Mr. Manly introduced bim as their master. That day he worked but little, for fie was not strong yet, but he arranged the timber, and gave directions for framing. At night he asked the MnnlnTM it* Ilrt llaroil Irnct l,iiv> nltl. .. .1..II... ? r- v - ? " Why, you've earned three," replied Manly. 44 And you will pay mo three dollars a day ?" 14 If you arc as faithful as you have been to day, for vou will savo ine money al that." The poor man could not ?per.k his thanks in words, but his looks spoke for him, and Manlv understood them. Ho received his three dollars, and on his way home ho stopped and bought first a basket, then three loaves of bread, a pound of butter, some tea, sugar, and a piece of beefsteak, and he had just one dollar nnd seventy five cents left. Witli this load he went home. It was some time before he could compose himself to enter the house, jilt at last lie went ir and set the basket upon tho table. 44 Come, Mary," be said,441 have brought something home for supper. Here, Nellv, you take the pail and run over to Mr. Brown's and get a eonplo of quarts of milk." Ha banded the child a shilling as he spoke, nnd, in a half bewildered state, she took tho money and hurried away. rr?i ~ ? iuc win* siaricu wnen site raised the cover of the basket, but slie dared not speak. She moved about like one in a dream, and ever and anon she would cast a fugitive glance at her husband, lie had not been drinking?she knew it?and yet he bad money to buy rum with if he wanted it. What could it mean I ITad her prayent been answered ! O, how fervently she prayed then. Soon Nelly returned with the milk, and Mrs. Nelson had the table out. After sup per Charles arose, and said4o his wife : " I must go trp to Mr. Manly's office to help lii:n arrange some plafla for his new house, hot I veil I he home early." A pang shot through tbe wife's heart cB she saw her husband In n ?? ay, but still i >]ie was far happier tlinn sliu had Wen be | fare a long while. Tberc was something in I his iiianncr that assured her and gave her hope. Just as the clock struck nine, the well- ( known footfall was heard strong and steady. The door opened ami Charles entered, llisj wife cast a quick, keen glauce into hi? /ace, i and she almost uttered a cry ,of joy when I she saw how he was changed for the belter. He had been to the barber's, and to the hat-1 Wr's. Yet nothing was said upon the sub ' ject. Charles wished to retire early, and his wife went with liiin. In the morning the husband arose first and built the tire. Mr\ry had not slept until long after midnight, having been kept awako by the tu multuous emotion? that bad started up in her bosom, arid hence she awoke not so early as usual. Hut she came out just as the tea kultle and potatoes began to boil, ajd break fast was soon ready. After the tneal was oaten, Charles aro?e. ' put on his hat, and then turning to his wife, lie asked : "-What do you do to day ?" " I must wash for Mrs. liixby." " Are you willing to obey me or.ee more ?" " O?yes." " Then work for me to-day. Send Nelly over to tell Mrs. Hixhy tlint you are not well enough to wash, for you are not. Here is a I dollar, and do with it as you please, liny something that will keep you busy for yourself or children." Mr. Nelson turned towards the door, and his hand was upon the latch, lie hesitated, and then turned back. He did not speak, but he opened his arms, and his wife sank upon his bosom. He kissed her, and then having gentlv placed her in a seat, Ije left the house. When lie went to his work that morning ho felt well, and very happy. Mr. Manlv was by to cheer liiin, and this he did by talking and acting as though Charles had never been unfortunate at all. It was Saturday evening, and Nelson had been almost a week without ruin. He had erfrned fifteen dollars, ten of which he had now in his poeke*. " Marv," lie said, after the supper table had been cleared away, " here are ten dollar* for you, and I want you to expend it in clothing for yourself and children. I have earned fifteen dollars dnrinir the last five lays. 1 ain to build Squire Mutilv's great | house, and lie pays mo three dollars a day. A good job isn't it Mary looked up, and her lips moved. l?ut she could not speak a word. She struggled a few moment's, and then hurst into tears, lies husband look her by tire arm and drew her upon his lap, and pressed her to his bo SOIII. " Mary," he whimpered, while tears ran down his own cheeks, " you arc not deceived. I am Charley Nelson once more, and I will he wliilo I live. Not by an act of mine shall another cloud cross your brow." And then he told her of the words he had heard on the previous Monday, while he lay be-' hied the wall. " Never before," said he, " did I fully realize how low I had fallen, but the scales tlropped from my eyes, then, as though some ! one had struck them off with a sledge. My ' soul started up to a standing point, from which all the tempters of earth cannot move it. Your pmvors are surely answered, niv wife." . Time passed on, and the cottage once! more assumed its garb of pure white, and ' its whole windows and green blinds. The! roses in the garden smiled, and every way j did the improvement work. Once again was Mary Nelson among the happiest of the! happy, and bcr children chouse their own : associates now. w? ? mi i ? r-? Nkckssitf of ExKRcjst.?The benefit of exercise of those whose occupation does not lead them to make any physical exertion, cannot be 100 highly estimated. The body must undergo a certain amount of fatigue, to preserve its natural strength, and maintain all the muscles and organs in proper vigor. The activity equalizes* the circula* I tion, atid distributes the blood more cffectually through every part. Cold feet, or a chill anywhere, shows that the circulation is languid there. The muscles during exercise press on the veins and help forward the current by quickening every vessel into activity. The valves in the heart are in this jstream, and relieved of a certain amount of labor. When exercise is neglected, the blood gathers too tnuCh around the cenlial region, and the oppression about the heart, difficulty of breathing, lowncss of spirits, anxiety and heaviness, numerous aches'and stitches, are evidences of this stagnation.? People are afraid to take exerciso because they fancy they want breath, and feel weak. But tlio very effort would free the heart from this burden, by urging the blood forward to tho extremities; it would ease their breathing by liberating tho lungs froin the snino superabundance; it would make the frame feel ach e a id light, as the effect of equalized circulation and fre4 action.

The Evening Prayer?"Our Father." "Ou'r father." The mother's voice wns low, fender and solemn. " Our faiher." On two sweet voices the words were borne upward. It was the innocence of reverent .childhood that gave them utterance.' '/ " Who art in the heavens," repeated the children, one with her eyes bent meekly down ami the other looking upward as if she would penetrate the heavens into which her heart in-pi red. " Hallowed he thy name." lAnver leu ine voices 01 ine mine ones. In ft gentle murmur they said? ' Hallowed bo thy name." "Thy kingdom come." And the burden of the prayer \v?s still taken up l?y the children?" Thy kingdom come." "Thy will be done on enitli as it is in Heaven." Like a low, sweet echo from the land of angels?"Thv will be done 011 earth as it is in Heaven," tilled the chamber. And the mother continued?" Give us this day our daily bread." " Our daily bread," lingered a moment on the air, as the mother's voice was llush ed into silence. " And forgive us our debts as we also forgive our deblois." The eyes of the children had dropped for a moment. Hut they were uplifted again as they proved?" And forgive us our debts as we also forgive our debtors." "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen." All these holy words were said piously and fervently, by the little ones, as they kuell with clasped hands beside tiieir mother. Then as their thoughts, uplifteti on the wings of prayer to their heavenly Father, came back again and rested on their earthly parents, a warmer love came gushing from their hearts. i >.. 1.: > ?1 ? * x me uisM-.i?icntiur emnrnces?lite lona "good night." What ft sweet agitation pervaded ail their feelings! Then two dear heads were placed side by side on n snowy pillow, the mother's last kiss given and the shadowy curtains drawn. What a pulseless stillness reigns throughout the chamber! Inwardly the parents' listening ears are bent. They have given these innocent ones in the caie of (Jod's an gels, and they can almost hear the rustling of their garments as they gather around their sleeping babes. A sigh, deep and tremulous bteaks on the air. Quickly the mother turns to the father of her children with a look of earnest inquiry or. her countenance. And lie answers thus her silent question : " Far back, through many years, have my thoughts been wandering. At mv mother's knee, thus 1 said nightly, in childhood, evening prayer. It was the best and holiesi of prayer, ' Our prayer,* that she taught ine t Childhood and my mother passed away. ] went forth as a man to the world, strong, confident, and self-seeking. Once I came into a great temptation, I would have fallen, I sadly fear, never to have risen again. The struggle in my mind went on for hours. I wns about yielding. All the barriers I could oppose to the rushing flood seemed just ready to give way, when, as I sat in my chamber, first occupied in many weeks, the murmur of a low voice was heard. I listened. At first no nrticulate sound was heard, yet something in the tones that stirred my heart with new and strange emotions, At length, there came to my ears, in the earnest, loving voice of a woman, the words? ' Deliver us from evil.' For an instant it seemed to me as if the voice was that of my mother. Hack, with a sudden bound, though ail a child in heart again, I was kneeling at my mother's knee. Humble and reverently, I said over the words of the hol v prayer she had taught u?e, heart and eyes lifted to Heaven. The hour and power of darkness had passed. I* was no longer standing in slippery places with a flood of waters ready to sweep ine to des iruction ; but my feet were on a rock. My mother's pious caro had saved her son. In the holy words she taught me in childhood there wns a living power to resist evil through all mv after life. Ah! that unknown mother, as she taught her eiuid to repeat his evening prayer, how little dream ed she that the holy words were to reach a sManger'a ear, and save him through the memories of his own childhood and his own mother ! And yet U was so. What a power there is in Deal's word, as it flows into and rests in the hearts of innocent children."

In England, it has been ascertained that out of one hundred ciimiual children, sixty were horn of d ??li on est parents; thirty of parents ; who were profligate, but not criminal ; and I only ten of {uncut* who were honest and industrious.

The Augsburg Gazette affirms that the village of Madnna, which is about CO f?ni glish miles from Uutschuek, in Wallachia, has been inhabited by women onlv, for the t last 30 years. At one period this female . population was 200. The ladies hate not [ been warriors, like the Amazons of old, hot , have avoided all intercourse with mert, and i j drive from their territory all who appear with matrimonial intentions. This anti-social settlement is now on the decline; no more recruits are made from the disappointed or the love crossed, and the population is rapidiy decreasing.
