'We sat beneath the cedar shade, Just you and I; The sunbeams through the green leaves played, And gold-gleams on your tresses laid, Then glided by. The sunset glory proudly drest The sky affir, While on the calm lake's azure breast, The white sail of a bark at rest, Lay like a star. A wild bird sang from out the dell A song of love: But sweeter far the accents fell Of your soft voice, like notes that swell From harpsabove. | Your little hand, so soft and white, 1 held in mine ; And oh the future looked so bright -- We took the sunset skies of light As hope's sweet sign, Ah! well, 'tis three long years ago Since youand I Satin the sunset's golden glow, And saw upon the lake below The white sails lie, And we are parted: here alone I idly wait; The wild bird from the dell has flown, No sweet voice answers to my own-- And this is fate. Sometimes a lomging, wild and strong, Comes o'er my heart, And sweet, sad mem'ries 'round me throng, But ah! the world is wide and long-- We walk apart. SUNNYS{DE, April Sth. a elections. .DR. WILLOUGHBY, AND HIS WINE. BY MARY SPRING WALKER. CHARTER I--coNTINUED. " And do you mean to tell me, Brother Wiloughby, that this crazy, gray-headed man, who has given us such a flaming temperance address, is that boy 1" " The very same. Remind me to tell you his story some time--that is, what I know of it--for, there is a goat, mystery hanging over part of his life." The discussion interrupted by Joe's visit was not renewed, the meeting break- -- ing up directly. Mr. Richmond was the first to take his depdrture ; but after walkiaga few steps, he remembered that he had left his gloves on Dr. Wiloughby's study table, arid acoordingly retraced his steps. When he opened the door, the ministers were standing ia groups of twos and threes, talking familiarly together. -- There was a pause when he made his ap- pearance. Then the pale young man, who had called Dr. Willoughby father, said :-- " Well, brethren, I drink wine, and by the grace of God I mean to." " Amen! thank God for that," said Dr. Wiloughby ; " and, brethren, I take great credit to myself for his conversion: He was a radical teetotaler when I first knew him." An expression of pain crossed Mr. Rich- mond's face, as he silently took his gloves from the table. : " Wait & moment, Richmond," said the young man, who was Dr. Willoughby's son-in-law. 'I am going your way, and will walk to the depot with you." CHAPTER II. GOOD FATHER PAUL. ' If wine had been among the number of things forbidden, Paul would not have permitted it, nor would have said it was to be used. This is the Mule Sus of our ge 5 who, when they see persons disgraasing them- bu by A of ing such, blame the fruit given them by God, and say, Let there no wine,'-- We would: say, in answer to such, 'Let there be no drunken: for wine is the work of God, But drunkénniess is the work of the devil. Wine maketh not drunken- ness, but intemperance produceth it. Do not excuse that which is the workmanship of God, but exeuse the madness of a fel- low-mortal." --Sr. Curysostronm's Homilies. The young men walked arm in arm down the street of the country town, lead- ing from Dr. Willoughby's residence to the depot. Mr. Thayer was the first to OD Sealy tas sa Joctite, Allan," he said. "I saw the pent-up fire ix your face, and came out with you that you night give it vent. Come, fancy we are ' No. 87, 'corner room, three flights front,' in old Union, »nd you playing men- tor again." He turned gaily to his companion as he spoke, but there was no answering smile on Allan Richmond's face. ' Why, what ails you, man 1" said Louis Thayer ; ¢" you look as sour as a Novem- ber day. Come, in the words of the hymn wo used to sing together, I adjure you to 'Speak, and lot the worst be known ; Speaking may relfeve you.'" "I know not what to say," he replied. "Louis, [ was never so grieved and sur- prised in my life. I cannot understand it. Was it Louis Thayer, the staunch to- tal abstinence man I knew in the semin- ary, who.gat in complaisant silence while Christian p thropists were d as enthusiasts and fanation, and then boast- ed that he touched the unclean thing, and claimed the aid and countenance of God's grace in doing it 1 Louis, what has changed you so ? 'Truly Ephraim hath mixed him- self with the people.'" "One would think I had forsaken the faith of the fathers, and gone clean over to idolatry," he rejoined, laughing. 'Why? man alive, did you expect to find me un' changed after all these years 1 Age brings wisdom; you know. Have you sloughed off none of the crude notions of your. gel- .| loge and seminary life?" Then speaking moze seriously, "The fact is, Allan, I found very soon after you and I came out of our cell, talking with men older and wiser than myself, and coming to see the other side of the matter, that the ground ter] T2I00k 90 the temperance question was | extreme, and, eould not be. sustained. -- fee wip natsiage, ont wing was look- NO. 2, ing about for a acktiomtnt, _. 1 "spent a couple of months in my father-in-law's family, and 1 found a Christian minister, with large experience, and eminently suc- cessful in his profession, drinking wine moderately on festive occasions, and in his family, and defending its use from the Bible, I must say I felt a little shocked at first. I could not quite understand it. I I held my position against him as 3 teeto- taler for awhile, till he made it clear to me that the Scripture doctrine is not total abstinence from intoxicating drinks; that as 3 rule of duty it is utterly unknown in the word of God, and, in fact, condemned by Christian ethics. He p ted the and piercing, and her abundant hair was brushed fearlessly back from a forehead that in breadth and outline was his own. Her sister--a young girl with 'a slender figure, fair complexion, and blue eyes-- though less striking in appearance, was not wanting in personal attractions, and the smile that dimpled her. cheeks and lit up her dove like eyes made her at times very pretty. "' But I don't suppose," * continued Mrs. Willoughby, a little fretfully, * that Louis invites half the company your father does. The Doctor kndws all the ministers in the country, and F often tell him he is too subject to me in such a different light, that my views were greatly modified and en- larged; but I was never quite converted till I became a Timothy to a good Father Paul, who, by timely counsel and skillful medical advice, dissipated my over-nice scruples, and cured my bodily ailments. "My first year in the ministry was a pull. I wrote twe sermons a week, and prepared a lecture besides. There was no end {o visiting, and funerals, and calls for extra duty. You know how it is, for you have had the same experience, only you are stronger physically than I am. Well, in the midst of a very precious revival, my old enemy, neuralgia, seized me. Night after night I did not close my eyes to sleep. The doctor did me no good, for you see my mental anxiety kept up the nervous excitement. Father Willoughby came out to see me in the midst of it.-- "You wan't stimulants,' said he ; and he sent home for a dozen bottles of old port, and some Cognac brandy. He told me to drink all I could bear. O Allan, the blessed relief from pain i¢ brought me! In three days I was a well man, and ready for work. I know not what Paul's pre- scription did for Timothy, but I know my father in the gospel cured me. It is but common justice to speak well of a bridge that has carried you safely over, and wine has been a 'good creature of God® to me. I come home weary after the labors of the Sabbath, and my sense of fatigue is met most pleasantly by a little alcoholic stim ulant." : " But you are not looking well, Louis," his friend said, gravely. They had reached the depot, and were pacing the platform, waiting for the train. There was good reason for the remark. -- The young minister's cheek was pale, and his step, in contrast to the quick, elastic tread of his companion, betokened languor or fatigue, and there was at timés a trem- ulous motion to his mouth that expressed great nervous sensibility, if not weakness. '"1 am perfectly well," he said, hastily, '""only tired and overworked. The fa- tigue of moving and settling my books and furniture has been Aery great, and the ex- citement of preaching to a new congrega- tion, composed of a very different class of people from my other parish, and the ne- cessity of making new acquaintances, and accommodating myself to my position here, have worn upon me a little. When I get things arranged to my n.ind, and the ma- chinery of my church in good running order, 1 shall be all right again. And how goes the world with you, Allan! Are you settled to your mind! Are you going to like Grantley! Have you a pleasant boarding-place? you poor, lonely, old bach- elor. By the way, you saw our little sis- ter Grace at dinner. Does she look like the girl you used to talk so much about that last year in the seminary!" Allan Richmond blushed like a school- boy. *'8he is very lovely," he said, and stop ou mention it as though it were a subject for mourning and lamentation," said his companion. "80 it may be to me," he said, ** for it removes me and my hopes at an infinite distance from her. Louis, how could I ever dream of winning her 1" "You aredoo modest, Allan. Why should you not win her as well as another 1 She will spend the holidays with us? Shall we see you in the city then" et were parting words, Mr. Rich- mond springing on the cars, and exchang- harried good-bye with his friend ef the frain was if motion. Mo Guar IIL.

"" Of course it did, mother. Your com- pany dinners all pass off well. It is un- accountable to me how so old a house- keeper as you are can allow yourself to be- come nervous over a dinner. Why, I en- tertained six delegates the other day when the Sunday school Convention met in the city, and it was very little trouble." "" Frances, you know nothing about it. With your well-trained city servants, a market just round the corner, and a con- fectioner in the next block, you haven't the least idea what it is to get up a dinner | in the country for a dozen hungry minis - ters, with only a green Irish girl to help you. And, then, you have the faculty of taking things easily. I belieue you not as nervous as most women." ; Mrs. Wiloughby looked with pardo: pride as she spoke, upon the tall, hand some young woman, who, richly 3 sat in a negligent attitude, with one elbow resting upon her mother's work-table. -- Her figvro was full and rounded, there was a healthy blcom upon her cheek and Yip, her eyes, like her father's, were black hospitable. I am sure our house is a per- fect hotel. and I have done little for the last twenty years but wait upoft ministers. * Mrs. Thayer laughed merrily. ' Well, mother, it is good business," she said, " and it does Hot hppa to ave [88 worn upon you. How well I remember the travelling agents who used to "put up' with us, as they called it, though, I am sure, we ' put up' with them, in enter- taining them so long. There was good old Father Scranton, you know, who always came out in the morning to' put on his shoes by the kitchen fire, and watch Brother Willoughby's ¢ stirrin' gals,' ashe called Grace and me, 'get breakfast;' and Mr. Nash, who was sure to drop in when we had a picked-up dinner, especially hash, as we children said, because it rhym- ed with his name; and the minister with the gruff voice, who 'ahemed' the door open; and the old bachelor minister with the hooked nose, by which, we used to say, he could hang to the cherry-tree and pick with both hands, and who served you such' a mean trick, mother, when he undertook to mark his shirts, and spilled indglible ink on your best chamber carpet, and then dragged the hearth-rug over it, instead of covering the spot with a twenty-dollar bill, as he should have done. And, oh! Grace, once when you were a little bit of a thing, you ran to meet me, exclaiming, ' Fanny, Fanny, we have ministers for dinner? " She "laughed most heartily at her re- miniscences, her mother and sister joining in her merriment. "Fanny, it does me good to see you again," Mrs. Wiloughby said. 'Yeu are as lively as ever. Marrying a minister, and feeling the responsibility of your po- sition, have not sobered you in the least. Grace and I are too quiet. We "sit here all day like a couple of 6ld ladies. But tell me about your parish, dear. I have not seen you long enough to have sa good talk since the installation. Do you like the Wilmot Street people as well as you expected ! Is Louis happy?" "We are on the wave, mother, you know," she returned. ** The people quite worship their new minister. I am afraid sometimes they will spoil him, they praise him so openly ; and yet, perhaps, it is just the encouragement Louis needs, for he is really morbid in his self-depreciation. People tell me all ministers are low-spirit- ed at times, but I never remember to have seen father so discouraged and dishearten- ed as Louis frequently is." '" Your father has enjoyed perfect health' all his life, my dear, and is very calm and is excitable and nervous, and not physi- cally strong." "I know it, mother ; and just now he is dreadfully overworked. He says it will be easier by and by, when he is over this hard spot; and I hope it will, for he is labouring quite beyond his strength. He stiidies very hard. beg him to use his old sermons ; but when: he looks them over he throws one after another aside in disgust, and says he has outgrown them. It is a fact, they were written for a .very different class of pebple. Mother, we have the most fashionable congregation in the city. People from the other churches flock to Wilmot Street. Last Sabbath evening, we had Judge Harding, and ex- Governor Binks, and the Hon. Mr. Wild- er, and [ don't know how many more of the first men in the city. Not an easy congregation to preach to, was it? But my husband was equal to the occassion, and he did himself eredit; but was so nervous and excited after the effort; that he did not close his eyes to sleep till near morn- ing ; and the next day came the reaction." 4%." Well, 1 suppose it cannot be helped ; but you must try to have him spare him- self all he we' "It is quite impossible, abe at present. The people are continually mak- ing demands upon his time that he cannot resist, There is a great deal of social life in the Wilmot Streetchurch; and just now we are having a round of parties. I en- joy them exceedingly, but Louis complains that they too much of his time; and the heat and glare of the crowded rooms, and the small talk in which he must join, unfit him for his work in the study. And the early part of the week he is too lan- guid and weary to write; and it often happens that his sermon is not commenced till Thursday or Friday, and then he must drive night and day to finish it." " You must do the best you can for him, Frances. See that he has plenty of nour- ishing food, and takes exercise regularly. If my father were living, he would say, ' String him up with plenty of good part wine, and give him three hours a day on the back of a quiet pony." Father wis one of the old-fashioned doctors."

The young man who sup- plied the Wilmot Street before you preach- ed for them, Louis, did you know he was such a person! Mrs. Barstow told me that he openly insulted a friend of hers in her own parlour, by refusing a glass of wine she offered him at a social gathering, do- ing it in such a solemn, disagreeable way, as to draw the attention of the whole company, and cause her to feel almost as though she had committed a sin in pro- viding wine for her guests." "1 hope your friend will not be so in- discreet as to carry his ulira viewsdnto his new pulpit," said Dr. Willoughby. * He will work mischief if he does. I know all about that Grantley church. There are two or three influential men there, en- gaged-in the liquor trade, the subject will not bear touching. "It is the last place for a man with radical views on the temper- ance question." '" You may depend upon it, father, that Richmond will preach, and talk, and pray temperance, wherever he is," said Louis Thayer. '" Then he will find Limself in hot water very soon," said the old gentleman, *' and he will create a division of feeling that will greafly injure that church. Itis a pity; for they are not strong enough to endure a storm. I was in hopes, after all their candidating, they had secured a good minister." "And so they have, father," said Mr. Thayer, warmly. * Allan Richmond was my dearest friend in college, and my class- mate in the seminary. . He is a good preacher, and will make a faithful, hard- working pastor. Come, Fanny, it is after nine o'clock, and we have three miles to ride." . She rose reluctantly. "" Why not remain and drive over in the morning 1" the mother asked. "I cannot leave my babies, mother," Mrs. Thayer said, " And I cannot leave my sermon," said her husband. When the carriage was at-the door, and the young ; minister was shaking hands with his father-in-law, Mums, Willoughby satis '"" Doctor, you have not forgotten the wine, I hope!" *" All right, my dear ; it's packed away in a basket under the seat.

" Nonsense! you know Grace would oh think of either of them. Louis, itis Mr. Landon, the lawyer." " What! Horace Landon, who has an office in Broad Street, Fanny? You don't mean it."

Mother is very much pleased." "You speak asif it' were a settled thing." " Well, so it is, or &t least very nearly so. He has asked father's permission to pay his addresses; and mother says Grace evidently likes him." "Is it possible Father Willotghy apr proves of this" . " Certainly, Louis,--why not? Is it not in every respect a desirable. match!" "T cannot say what Horace Landon is now," he replied, gravely ; 'but when 1 knéy him in college he was an infidel, -- he was much older than mysélf. I was not acquainted with him -personally. I did not care to know him. He had the pam of being a brilliant, witty fellow, scarcely has balf-an-hour he can call his own.
