" Though T had consented, at your
urgent eOKoitation, to address this assembltr
lb night,* he sahl, " vet I have

that it has been with the utmost difficulty.

much affrcted. end thee added
in a Anal voice, "something must he

the impression on your minds that I

* Your speaker once stood among
the respected members of the bar.?
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.

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

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

" 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*
