WALL fc STEPHENS, pp 2?^1 9^9 fg. iiwoug. EVENING STAR. WHY DIDN'T TEST HOLD [A Thnll.-n? Pkrtch Trim :hc S. Y. Tribune] The stagc-horn was ringirg in raj car its warning that like time and tide it waited for no man, or woman either, but as I hurried on through a dim passage, I had a glimpse through a half-open door at a scene that has impressed itself on my memory indelibly. "W hy didn't they hold me," were words uttered in sure and anguish, that thev thrilled in my ear when the stage had borne me far away from that great city and its sins an 1 sorrows, and I de termined to fling them as an alarum on the winds, until statesman and people, J mother and teacher, should set about forging bands to hold those that fallow in the footsteps of that dreadful sufferer. I A half-dozen fine-looking men surround-1 ed his bed, the tnrmj -cu.:_ I their faces, and the glitter of jewelry J about their persons, indicated as plainly I as their haggard features and wary eyes! the order to which they belonged. They I were of that mysterious order of knight-1 hood, who seem to have found the al-1 chemist's coveted power, or at least to | enjoy its coveted results. They live in first-class hotels, wear first class clothes. I gold abounds with them, and yet they hold labor, practically at least, in su-1 preme contcmpt. I knew the object of I their care wa3 one of their number, who I the night before, in a fit of delirium I tremens, had thrown himself from thel window in the upper story of the hotel. 1 He did not toss from side to side as men I do usually when a burning fever rages on I them, for head, spine, limb?, had all been I rendered useless by that fall; but his whole frame quivered with agony, and from underneath the matted, streaming! masses of hair that fell over his fice. al ready wan and wasted with suffering, his eyes glared out fiercely as a wounded tiger's. ; ?4Why didn't they hold me?" he mut tered; and with his groans he mingled I reproaches and horrid curses on the care-1 less watchers that had let him make thai terrible leap. . i Why didn t they hold him? Why,! they did not realize the fcarfulncss of the terrors that encompassed him: thvy have I never had delirium tremens?not yet. I The fiend that brandished that naked] sword over his defenceless head was in-1 visible to their eyes. They did not hear I the hiss cf the serpents that coiled and I writhed their slimy folds about his I shrinking form! Oh, no ! they did not I see the . , and it was such rare sport, tc I see that swaggering, blustering bully I cower and crouch bvf^ie his imaginary I tormentors! So they mockcd and ieerrri I aim men tea nun cn to combat with nis I phantom foes, until the window caught I his eye as a hope far escape, and so, with I a yell and a kound, he made that des I>erate leap, and the next moment there I was taken up from amid the mire and I blood and shivered glass in the street, a shrieking and mangled wreck of hu-l, inanity. j Whether that rcckless and rcstle?s I spirit has goni up to its awful account I ( of misspent time, or has yet to beat out I, its weary life against the prison-bars of I a crippled frame, I know not. God be J! merciful, and heal, if he lingers, bo'h I soul anil body. Why didn't they hold j him? Not those careless, heartlessI watchers of the other night; the demon I of drink was in him then too sfrorg for! mortal control, but long, long ngo, when I he was a blithe, bright boy, as i'remem ber him, then his mother might have held him in the bonds of good habits. 1 and trained him as she did those flagranti vines about her door, ai d thus virtu, might have rendered another home as j fair as did tho^e clustering tranches her own sweet cottage. I remember that household well. The father was aman of high standing, filling a reponsibie and rcspeetable office. The mother, gay, in-1 dulgent, and affectionate, su.rou.ded by I a band of rosy girls and frollickir.g boys Fashion eutered the holy circle tiist, with its baneful habits of idleness and ex I travagance. With it came the custom , of drinking, because of fog or of frost, because they were merry or because they were sad. The wind wac sown there ; I long yeais they have been reaping the I whirlwind. A taste for drinking rendered useful occupation distasteful; gaming afforded I at once excitement and the promise of a living without labor. The boys drifted oil'into vagrancy, the father was degraded from his station, and died in disgrace! and penury. The girls dropped like can kered flowers, and God, in pity, took them. The homestead has passed into strangers' hands, and now the poor old mother sits alone ia a comfortless cabin, beside the same stream which rolled by the home of her early happiness, and ioubtless, as it wanders by, it often whispers of tha time when she might have held them all back, by her counsel and example, from their ruin. Little Child'sSoljliquy.?Wish my mama would phase keep uie warm. My little bare legs are very cold w ith these lace ruflles, they are not half so nice as black Jim's wollen stockings; wish I had a long sleeved apron, for my bare arms and neck; w;sh I might push my curls out of my eyes, or have them cut oft wish my dress would stay en my shoulders, and that it was not too nice for me to get on the floor and play niuc pins; w>fch my mama would go to walk with me sometimes instead of Betty. Wish she would not promise me some thing "v$ry nice," and then 'forget all about it; wish she would answer my questions, and not always say, "dont bore me, Freddy;" wish when we go to ihe country, she wouldn't make me wear my cloves, for fear I should "tan my hands;" wish she would not tell me that all the pretty flowera will poison me; wish I could tumb'e on the hay, and go into ths burn, and 9te how Dubbin eat* v* M twun, per r?-ni. his supper; wish I could makt? pretty dirt pics: wish there wis not a bit of taci or silk, or satin, in the world; wi?u f r n w what makes mother look so stnil ing at aunt Emma's children (* ha coma here in their papa's carnage,)a>?d ^ ^ry cross at my poor little cousins whos? mother works so hard and cries so m?ch , Wish I knew what makes the clouii i May up in the sky, and w here the am* go in the day time: wish I could set over that high hill where the sun ?? down and touch it with my finger: wish I did not keep thinking of things that puzzled me, when nobody will Stop to tell me the reason for anything, ff i a?k Betty she says, "don't be a fool Master Freddy." I wonder if B tty knows much herself? I wondcr whJ mama don t love her own little bov? Y wonder when I am a grown man, if [ ah.il have to look so nice all the time, .80 Ureti of d0lDS nothing??Olae SCOLDIXO IN THK P7LPIT.?The follow ing is a:i extract of a letter from WiJ. .am Cowper the poet, to his intimate frit-nd, Rev. John Newtcn: " No man was ever scolded out of his s.ls. The heart, corrupt as it is, and because it is so, grows angry if it be not treated with some management and cood manners, and scolds again. A surly mastiff will bear perhaps to be poked, though he will growl even under the op' eraUou, but if you touch him roughly he will bite. There is no grace that tho spirit of self can counterfeit with more success than a religious zeal, a man thinks he is fi-htmg 'or his own notions, lie thinks that he ? skilfully searching the hearts of others, when he is only gratifying the malignity of his own ; and chantaj.y supposes his hearers destitute of grace that he may shine the more in his own eyes by comparison. When he has performed this notable task he won ders that they are not converted. 1 He has given it to them soundly, and if they do not tremble a id confess that God is in them of a truth,' he gives them up as reprobate, incorrigible, and lost f>rcver. B-t a man that loves me, if he sees me in error will pity me, and endeavor calmly to convince me of it, and per suade me to fortake it. .f he has rreat and good news to tell me, he wiil not do it angri.y and in much heat and discom posure of spirit. It is not therefore easy to conceive on what ground a minister can justify a conduct which only pn.ves that he dees not understand his errand The absurdity of it would certainly strike him if he were not himself deluded " A people will always love a minister, if a minister seems to love his people;* therefore you were beloved at Olney." ' pRArtical Praykr.?In the vicinity cf B a poor but industrious man, oepending for support upon hi3 daily Ubor. Ilis wife fell sick, and not being able to hire a nurse, he wis obliged to confine himself to the sick bed and 'am:! v. Ilis means of support beirg thus cut off, he soon found himself in need. Having a wealthy neighbor near, he do termined to go and ask for two bushtJd of wheat, with a promise to pav as soon as his wife became well enough"to leave, that he could return to his work. Ac cordingly he took his bag, went to his hcig ibor s, and arrived while they v7tro a', family prayers. ^s he sat on t'?c door stone be heard the man pray very earnestly that Goi wouid elothc the naked, feed the hungry, relieve the needy, and ccmlort all that uiour.i. The prayer concluded, the poor mm stepped in, and made known Uz business, premising to pay with tho avails of his first labors. The farmer was very sorry ho could not accommo date hi:a, but he had promised to lend a large sum of money, and bad depenled upon his wheat to make it out; but be presumed neighbor A would let him have it. With a teai ful eye an! a sad heart, the oor man turned away. As soon as he .eft the house the larmcr's little sen stepped up and said : " father, did you not pray that God v. ould clothe the naked. Iced the hungry, relievo the distressed, and comfort the mourner^" " Yes?why?" " Because, father, if I Lad your wheat I would answer that prater. It is needless to add that the Christian father called Lack his suffering neigh bor, and gave him as much wheat as he needed. Now, Christian readers, do you an* swer ycur own prayers. >p A work of great and singular in terest. relating to the events of the last half ccntury, is about to appear from the American press, its contents rendering its publication in France, or even in any of the adjacent nations, impossible.
