An estimable vntpan, whom we will oall Alice, was tad need to attend ?When the meetiog ?nt somewhat ad-. vhirceJ. a late nBfjnber ?>f Oongre??. arose with apparent tadne*? and hesitation. . ? " Though T had consented, at your urgent eOKoitation, to address this assembltr lb night,* he sahl, " vet I have ft*h so great,a telnet anco in doing so, that it has been with the utmost difficulty. thai I could drag rovself forward.

Nay, more than that, he occupied a seat in Congress for two congressional periods. And more then that," he continued, his vote* sinking into a tone expressive of deep emotion, he once had a tenderly loved wife and two sweet children. But all the?e blessings have departed from him. He wasunworthv to retain them ; his constituents threw him off because he bad debased himself and disgraced thein. And more than all, the who had loved him devotedly, the mother of his babe?, was foroed to ahan* don him and seek an. Asvlum in her father's honse. And why t C<Kild I become so changed in so few short years f What power was there to so debase me that my fellow beings spurned, and even the wife of my bosom turned away heart stricken from me t Alas, my friends, it was a mad indul gence in intoxicating drinks. But f ?r this, I were an honorable and nsr-ful representative in the halls of legislation and blessed with home and wife and children. 14 Bill I kava no! fol?l vaii o 11 Afto# my wife was separated from me. I sank rapidly. A state of sobriety kranghi too many dreadful thought* ; I drank more deeply and wm rarely if ever free from bewildering effects of partial intoxication. At lael I became so aban doced, that my wife, urged by her friends, no doubt, filed an application for a divorce, as cause could be rendily shown why it should be granted, a scp aration was legally declared ; and to complete m? disgrace I wa? left off the ticket aa unfit to represent the district. " When I beard this new movement, the great temperance cause, at first I aneered, then wondered, listened at last, and at last threw mrself on the great wave that was rolling onward, in hope of being carried far out of the reach of danger. I did not hone with a vain hope. It did for me all and moro than I could hare desired. It sat me once - more on iny feet, once more made a man of me. A year of sobriety, earn, est to my profession and fervent prayer to Him, wno alone gives strength in ev ry good resolution, restored tome much that I hare lost; hut not all. not the richest treasure that I have proved mv elf unworthy to retain?not my wife And children. Between roy*elf and el sL- ? - ine*? mo inw na* laid H* Mem impassable interdie'ions. 1 hove no longer children, though my heart goes toward* those loved ones with the tendered yearnings. Pictures of our earlv davs of wedded love are ever lingering in my imagination. I dream of the sweet fireside circle, I see ever before me the placid face of my Alice, as her ere* looked into mine with intelligent confidence ; the music of her vo ce is ever * sounding in my ears." ' llere the speaker's emotion overcame bim; utterance became choked, and he stood silent, with howed head and trembling limbs. The dense mats of people were husbed into an oppressive stillness, that was broken here and there by half stifled sob*. At this moment there was a move meat in the crowd. A single female figure, before whom every one appeared instinctively to giv? way, was seen passing up the aisle. This was not oh served by the speaker until she had ootne nearly In front of the platform on which he stood. Then the movement caught his ear, his eves ihat instant (all on Alice, who by the kindness of (ho** near her, wm conducted to bis ride.? The whole audience, thrilled with the scene, were upon their foet, tending forward, when the speaker extended his arms, and Alice threw herself upon his bosom. I An aged minister then same forward and gently separated them. ** No, no," said the reformed Congressman. M jou cannot take ber away from me." " Heaven forbid that I should," said the minister ; M hut by your own en foesion she ia not your wife." " No, she is not," returned the speaker, mourn fuliy. ? Bat is ready to take her vows again," modestly said Alice, in a* low tone, smiling through her teare. Before that large assembly, all stand < ing. aod with fow dry eves,-the marriage ceremony wa* again performed, that gave the speaker and Alice to each other. As the minister, an aged man with thin white looka, completed the marriage rite, he laid hi* hand* upon the heads of the two ha bad join ed in the holy hands, and lifting tip his streaming eyes, said in a solemn voice, What Ood haa joined together, let sot man pat aswader." ** Amen !" was cried by the whole aasetubiy. as with a single voire, [Old Ouktn Bucket. - 1 _ ? i insiiSlASiir T B SSI r,L| 1 1 * '.i"ii > Oshkoeh Fun A minister from * neighboring town *t*rted to go, one day teat week, on e kind of mieeiooery enterprise.
