The Son of Temperance. - BY PROF..INtRAIHAM. "Where this evening, Charles?" ask. eda lovelv tn rried woman of her hus. biud. 'ihe tone wus slightly sneering though she smiled us.slho spoice. "in n En the visiting committee, and have to cull on a sick lbrother," ens. we.red MA r. as ho put on his The lady pouted. -le took ipl his lint and approached her with n playful smile. "Ah, Mary, I fi-ar you will never 'overcome your hostility-it is no longer 'prejtudice, but hostili.y to our Order.' "And 1 do not wish to. here you Were nwav onl Monday night it til ten o'clock. rd now you are off agnin.' "But I have duties I owe to others as well as to yourself, Mary! I give you 'fivo eveninrgs, and often six in every week, and you have a grent portion of my lime during the day. We must r cerifnce some things for others. As members of the great community, we have duties external to those due to our immediate families.' ''13ut you had no such duties until you becanme a Son of" Tmperance.' "I did not, till I beenmae a Son of Temperance, see ro plainly the duty I owed to my fellow crentitres, as I now (1o. Becoming a Son of Temperance haas enlarged my views of i.enevolence, und opined to m1e a field for its exercise.' "And prn'y, what are you to exercise it upon ao.niight? Who do you visit?'. .she nasked with a toss of her pretty head. "A young married man by the name -of , who joined the Order a year -tigo, I ho rnaed by a note I received from the Wo:tlhy Patriarch, while I was at tea, is discovered to be quite ill. He has bet absent from the Order for sev. cral meetings, but as no ono reported him ill, I was not aware of it till now. As he lives in the next street, I must go 'and see hin.' "Whatat is he?' "A Son of Temperance.' "1 men his trade!' ' " i ben you mean how respectalde is te?' We Soins of Teriprrnrice know no distinction of trade within the Order. We are all brothers and friends. He is a mechanic---a shoemaker, I believe; " I have several times spoken with him, and like him. He is quite unassuming, and quite interesting in conversation. I have heard him speak in the l)ivisinn with great fluency and eloquence. His :-eahh has been delicate of late.' "You scem to feel very much for such a sort of person it seems to me! Well, go! I will try and pass the .evening nas well as I can, as I do those when you tire at the Order!' and the lady pouted and looked ill-pleased. "Why not let me ask lively Amy to drop in and pass the evening?' "1.hand rather not have her.' "Why not go into your father's? I will see you there, and call for you when I come back,' "No.' "Thent pass theo time in reading,' "r shall go to bied.' This wuas said so very positively nnd angrily thait her husbandI aid nothing mdre, except "good evening.' Shae wanited till she heard him close the street door, and then sprang up arid 4egaun to pnee the room. Th'le cricket -was in the way and she kicked it out of' her wny. Thei worl-stand was ran -obstacle to the free exercise of her l'imbs, tnnd she tilted it over. For full fivO minuates she coniiintied in this amiable mood, during which pnpers strewed the floor, chairs were laid on thecir hacks, and the poker and the shovel took a turn or two of canchuen abouit the room. A t lenagthI she threw hierselfI upon the sofia. nuad played the devil's attoo willh hier litt'e I ef' foot till she wnas tired. She theta pullced a feather fano pieces, and( east the frngmernts around hier; took up ai hook anid gltanaced into it, and flung it to the further side of the room, grenatly to the peril of a splend'id Imrror, anad to the latter demiolition of a "coloigne b'ottle that unl uck ily~ lay ina its -A ftLr a fer gentle cep;hhets at the 'Sons of Temnpera nce' .enerally. nord ait her hiusbtanrd ill patlicular, slithaccbeenme someowhiat enhni either untder the irnflu. enefle of co!ogne or exhiaustion.

But as I was on the sick committee, I could not very well. I am than -"fu i I die not,' he said, impressive. ly. "Would you like to hoar,' ho added, -addressing the young lady, "where I have been.' "Yes!'.she.answored laughing.--"Let us hear, sir, some of your great benev olent doings!' "A fter I had walked five minutes from my door, I turned into- . street and with some difficulty found the 'house 'I sought. It was small, and of humlle exterior. I knocked, and a door woman came to the door. I asked if Mr.- lived there? She said he did. I told her I had come to see him, having .just heard of his illness. "lie is indeed ill, sir. Are you a Son of Temperance?' she asked, with an eager look. "Yes.' "Then all is well for us,' she unswer. ed, gratefully. "lie is my husband, sir. Ho has been unwell for these six weeks. And for the last ten days he hasn't been able to work an hour put it all together. This worried him, and wore upon him, and made him right sick at last. Well, sir, as his daily earnings were eat up by the four clil dIren as fast as it came in, if ho lost a tday, it was robbing the mouths that do pentded upon him; and he has been paid low of late; there nre so many cord. wnainers that are not married that work for very little. So he grew sick and took to bed with fe-ver.' "And how long has he been so ill?' "Four weeks, sir.' "And why has lie not made it known to the Order.' "So I told him; but he said no. He said he would keep from the funds of the Order till the very ltst minute. So he made me sell this and that for food, and to huv medicine.' "This Fensitiveness was all wrong,' I said to her. "Time fund was in part hi, own contiihution. lie was entitled to it as a right. It is never regarded in the light of alms.' ''But io felt that it was sir, and he is proud. Well, sir, we struggled on till, to.day, when lie proved worse, and nothing to eat, I mnsde him tell me who was l'utriarch of the Di ision, mi- so I put on my bonnet when he was asleep, and went straight to his house. ie received me kindly, and said my husband should at once be attended to; and that's only an hour since, and here you are already, air, come to see him.' She pressed my hand, with tears, and expressions of the deepest gratitude. I entered the sick man's room. He Inv upon a bed reduced to a skeleton. Fle turned his large glazed eyes upon me, and smiled as ohe recognized me. "You have come to a poor man's, house, sir,' he said, as if mortified at his poverty. "I did not expect I should so soon call upon the charity of the Order.' "You are claiming of me only your right"hnd my duty,' I said. "'NoSon of Tremperance can be regarded as an object of charity, lHe is looked upon as a distressed brother, and the duties extended to him are those of love. WVe owe each other otnly love. It is that has brought me here.' ie smiledl gratefully, and piessed my band wvith his skeleton fingers, which were hot to lie touch. I found t hat lie and his family were perfectly destitute. There was no coolinig medlicine for him; no food for them. ilis wi fe said thtt the children liad) en'ten nothing since dinner and) were goitng to bed!, crying for food, arnd sha hatd, for their sake, enten nothing since lhe n ight biefore!"' "Oh, horror! dreadful ly exclaimed both A my and) Mrs. , in tones of puity' and sympathy. "'I instantly went ont and hastened to the next grocery. Ther i I illed my hanidkerchiief withI bread, cheese, cakes tand; oranges for the sick man; and a paper of tea and sugar; and in my band bore a quart of fresh milk. With these trenisures I hastened baek to the scene of tifliction and w retchredtess.-. My pre'setce soon east sunshine tipon the gloom. In less thtan halmf an hotur things wore a new face. I dlespatched a note or two to rny fe.llow committee. metn, with instrtuction to bring I phtysicinn, tand to conme pre'paredc to stayv for the ntight, as my wife wvoubll byv no innts gauve tie permission to be out.'
