"iv > Drank my Last Glass." BY LOUISE 8. UPHAM, No, tomrades, I thank you, not any fer me ; My last chain is riven, henceforward I'm free! I will go to my home and my children to-night With no flume of liguor their spirits to blight, And with tears in my eyes, I will beg my poor wife To forgive me the wreck I have made of herlife ! "I have never refused you before!" Let that pass, For I've drank my last glass, boys, I havé drank my last glass! Just look at me now, boys, in rags and disgrace, With my bleared, haggard eyes, and my red bloated face! t Mark my faltering step and my weak, palsiod hand, And the mark on my brow that is worse than Cain's brand ; Sce my crowniless old hat, and my elbows and knees Alike warmed by the sun or chilled by the breeze ; Why, even the children will hoot as I pass-- But I've drank my last glass, beys, I've drank my last glass! You would hardly believe, boys, to look at me now, That a mother's soft hand was once pressed on my brow, When she kissed me, and blessod mé, hor dar- ling, her pride, Ere she lay down to rest by my dead father's side ; But with love in her eyes, she looked up to the sky, Bidding me meet her there, and whispering, * Good-bye." And I'll do it, God helping! Your smile I let pass, For I've drank my last glass, boys, I have drank my last glass! Ah! I'reeled home last night -it was not very late, For I'd spent my last sixpence, and landlords won't wait On a fellow who's left every cent in their till, And has pawned his last bed, their coffers to fill. Oh! the torments I felt,and the pangs I endured ! And I begged for one glass-- just one would have cured 3 But they kicked me out doors!--I let that too pass, For I've drank my last glass, boys, I have drank my last glass! At home, my pet Susie, with her soft golden hair, - I saw, through the window, just kneeling in prayer; From her pale, bony hands, her torn sleeves were strung down, While her feet, cold and bare, shrank beneath her scant gown ; And she prayed - prayed for bread, just a poor crust of bread, For ome crust--on her knees, my pet darling plead : And I heard, with no penny to buy one, alas ! But I've drank my last glass, boys, I have drank my last glass! "| For Susie, my darling, my wee six-yoar-old, Though fainting with hunger and shivering with cold, There,on the bare floor, asked God to bless me ! And she said, "Don't cry, mamma! He will! for you sce, I beliere what Task for!" Then, sobered, I crept Away from the house; and that night, when I slept, Next my heart lay the Prepex!--Yoa smile, Let it Pass, But I've drank my glass, boys, 1 have drank my last glass! My darling child saved me ! Her faith and her love Are akin to my dear sainted mother's above ! I will make hor words true,or I'll die in the race, And sober 1'l go to my last resting-place ; And she shall kneel there, and, weeping, thank God No drunkard lies under that daisystrewn sod ! Not a drop more of poison my lips shall e'or pass, For I've drank my last glass, boys, 1 have drank my last glass!

BEATTY & Cv. Belleville THE TAWNY MUSTACHE. (From the ** Aldine," for March.) She saw him first on the corner of Main and Chippewa streets. This is how it happened. It was in a heavy snow storm she was in the cutter with Delia Howe, and was driving. They wero dashing around the corner; he crossing the stroet. The wind was blowing the snow into her face in a blinding fashion, so she never saw him, until her horse was stopped by a strong hand on the bridle. 'It was done so suddenly, it almost threw Delia and herself from the seat. - She had come very near running over him. Of course it was her place to beg pardon; but, instesd, she flashed an indignant glance at him, for having presumed to lay hand on her horse and saw a heavily built gentleman, whose great coat and fur cap were completely covered with snow. He still had his hand on the bridle, as if waiting for herto speak as she did not do so, he coolly twirled his tawny mustache, with the hand not em- ployed, and said, *" Your apology is ac- cepted !" then walked on. The horse as suddenly released as he had been stopped, dashed ahead at a furious rate; she did not succeed in getting him fully under her control and broke inte sn even trot, until they had struek Delaware Avenue, Then, for the first time, the two girls looked at each other. " Did you ever know such unparalleled impud "Her her cheeks were brilliant; ayes flashing with the excitement of tam- ing her infuriated horse, "' He came near being our death !" gasp- ed Delia, looking as if she was going to faint. heard it, and laughed. "On the whole, Del, itis a pity I didn't let Dandy take his course, we could have gone out of this world in style. Hadley's party would of course have been given up, and I would have made a last dying request to be burried in my gorgeous new pink silk. Wi 't 1 havecut a gay figure in my 4 ! «0, Hagar I" Bow ean you talk so recklessly, when we have but jusf €scaped with our lives I" And the little color that had come into Delia's face receded. Ha- gar laughed. " Why, Del, is pink silk wickeder than ite ! Besides, you silly little thing, we weren't any place near our death ; Dandy wouldn't have dared kill me !" "" Why 1" asked Delia. " Because he knew very well, that if he did, on my way up, I: would dispatch a message down below, for his satanic majesty to kindly send a handful of small imps to haunt his stall, and mix sulphur and powdered brimstone with his oats." There Was a mischieveous twinkle in her black eyes, though she spoke in hergravest tones. Hagar Southey, how can you 1" : At that moment slie drew rein before Mr. Howe's residence. Hagar saw the girl safely on the sidewalk; then said, sarcastically, " Never mind, Dellie, when Lent comes you will see how good I will be ;" and drove on, while Delia went into the house, saying to herself, 'I wonder what makes Hagar Southey so ironical 1 She turns everything into sarcasm, and is full as wild as Dandy. \ The next time she saw him was at Had- ley's grand party om Delaware Avenue. She was robed in that "gorgeous new pink silk." getten for the occasion. 'It just suited her marked brilliant style. One would have singled her out the instant one entered the room. She was, as usual, holding a levee : the centre of a group of gentlémen, nade up partly of exquisites who live on the froth of life, and partly of sens'ble, dignified men, all held by the charm of her conversation. She was witty and sarcastic ; she made them first laugh, then think. It was wonderful how many homely truths, and pointed home-thrusts, this girl covered with the guise of fun and irony. Her voice was low and cultivated, ing him, that she failed to notice the single step from the vestibule; her escort had gone ahead, 30 she must have fallen the entire flight'}6 ho had not caught her; yet she would rather have fallen than have been thus savedi #80 annoyed was she, that even her inmate courtesy forsook her. She had actually been in his arms, and her ungloved hand, thrown wildly out t@eatch' herself, had absolutely touched his tawny mustache. He waited an instant; then, as she did net thank him, said in the same cool way he had that other day in the snow, ** You are perfoctly welcome," and went into the house. i i On the way home she had nofis word to say. They had but a block to drive. All that block she was drawing on ther glove, as if thinking thus to cover up tifo memory of the touch of that long silky mustache. But she must have failed signally, for when she had reached home and gained her own room, the first thing she did was to pull the glove off, which she had just got on, and look at the hand it had cover- ed. A singularly childish act for the bril- liant, sarcastic Hagar Southey, but any one who knows any woman well knows that woman is a contradiction. After that, all winter long she seldom went out of an evening without meeting him. He was very wealthy, and had been traveling abroad ever since he and Joe left college; he had no home ties, so had very willingly allowed Joe Hadley to per- suade him to winter in Buffalo. Such being the facts of the case, more than one pretty girl had found it remarkably easy to smile upon him. Hagar Southey had, of course, been in- troduced to him but there their acquaint. ance seemed to end, that is, so faras con- versation goes {0 make scquaintanes, Yet the girl felt, that this cool Mr. Klemn, Joe Hadley's friend, knew her singularly well. Struggle against it as she would, he had an odd, irrestible fascination for her; eyen on entering & crowded building, her eyes, a8 if by magnetism, instantly singled him x (CONCLUDED IX OUR NEXT.) A GRATEFUL THIEF. The following fact, related to us by an eye-witness, is one of the many curious i t L ted with the recent and never changed its soft 1 utter- ance, no matter how animated or dis- cordant her theme. He was standing outside the circle, ap- parently giving unbroken attention to the insipid platitudes of a passe belle. His organs of hearing must have been remark- ably keen, for he answered correctly every time, tnd yet heard every word that passed in tho circle. At length glancing up she caught his eye. The recognition was instantaneous. Her face flashed ; he cooly twirléd his tawny mustache; and contradicted some trifling remark of the passe beauty's, who looked at him in blank amaze. At that moment,one of Strauss' waltzes floated through and filled the rooms. He abruptly excused himself to his astonished companion, who had been counting on his asking her to dance ; saying, as he did not waltz, himself, he might be the means of preventing her. As the dancers began to sway through the rooms, he sauntered to the conservatory. Fannie Hadley saw him go, and followed him. He was their guest, thus it was her right, and the most casual observer might see that it was her pleasure. From the conservatory door, where thoy stood, they had a fine view of the dancers. Fannie was gay and lively, and had a bit of characteristic in- formation about as they glided past. Her fresh, school ish ways --fof she was but sixteen, and nof' in society yet, evidently pleased and amused him. Presently Hagar Southey floated by. "" That is the most beautiful girl in Buf- falo," said Fannie, fenthusiasticlly ; then added, " Everybody is in love with her; even Joe would actually put himself out to win her, and you know how lazy he is" He was Joe's visitor--they had been friends for years ; of course, he asked her name. A moment later Delia Howe en- tered the conservatory on her partner's arm. They stooped to speak to Fannie, and were introduced to the stranger, Delia did not recognise him ; he knew her instantly, an | before the evening was'out, she was highly flattered at the attention he gave her. Once, when she and Hagar happened to bea minute together, she went into eestacies over this stranger, Joe Hadley's friend, finishing with 3he ques- tion. 8 " Hagar, who does he look like 1 It has puzzled me ever since I was introduced !" * Himself," was the abrupt reply. " But he must look like some one, or his face would net be so familiar, for 1 never saw him before," persisted Delia. *' You only think se !" was the provoking reply, and Hagar was gone. Delia natural- ly took the answer for the first part of her remark, and pouted. A few minutos later, Hagar Southey was listening to a very sentimental offer of I shou!d actually enjoy running over such a man," said Hagar, to whom the " unparalled impudence" seemed the all. absorbing theme, '" How we did dash around those corners said Delia," and her very voice trembled. "1 don't feel aa if 1 could go home without giving it to him," said Hagar. "| remembered every fib I ever told," said Delia. I should krow him anywhere; he had a tawny roustache," said Hagar, and she | loosened her sable boa as if the recollection of tho cool manger in which he had twirled said mustache made her warm. "Odear! | expected fully to be laid out in my new white silk." There is ne knowing how long they would have eoptinued this random conver- sation, each enlarging op her owp thought without payipg the slightest attention to the other, if i bad not been for this last rather worldly vowesk of Delia's. Hagar marriage in the conservatory. She reject. ed the young fop, and he went away with dejected mien, his very mustache looking wilted, She turned to retrace her steps to thedrawing room, and there, seated within full hearing, shielded by the shrubbery, sas Joe Hadley's friend. Her eyes flashed he eoaly twirled his tawny mustache again and arose to let her pass. She swept by { him, her head erect, the folds of her silk drapery brushing his feet in the narrow passage. He watched her out of sight, thén whistling a low tune, comfortably took his chair again. About an hour later, she met him face to face on tho door step. She looked like a white cloud in he: zephyr wraps, He had just been assisting the passe beauty, who | had come without an escort, to hercarriage. ! Heo had on the identical great coat and fur | eap: oven Delia Howe might have known | li thou. So surprised was she at moet- great fire in Boston. " While the conflagration was at its height and a merchant was busy collecting to gether a few valuables to carry away in his, armsarough looking fellow came up with a wagon, and wished to know if he didn't wish to hire him for a load. The merchant jumped at the offer, and the wagon was by himself and clerks soon heaped with costly zoods, and the driver told where to carry them, and to come baek, if he could, before the flames reach- ed the stores. As he was disappearing in the distance a police officer asked the merchant if he knew the man, when it suddenly occurred to him he had not even asked his name, and had committed his goods into the hands of an utter stranger. Worse than that, the policeman knew him to be a notorious thief and could not leave the point he was guarding to pursue him. The fire progressed, and in half an hour the merchant's store was in ashes, Next morning he repaired to the place where he had directed the cartman to carry the goods and, as he feared, they had not been brought there. Two days afterwards, how- ever Lo was surprised by the carter's ap- p , who apologized for not eoming before by his inability to find thre merchant and handing him a key, told him his load of goods was stored in the room of a hote: where he would find them. The merchant expressed surprise, and mentioned the suggestion of the police officer. *' That's 50," said the carter, " but do you remember whem you were on the jury, and----=was tried for stealing I" 4 " Yes, I do, and from the evidence I believed him innocent." ' " Well, sir, that was me, and [ was in- nocent, --as innocent as a child of what I was tried for. I understood it was you that was wise enough to see I was, although I had no reputation to back me, and you saved me from an unrightevus verdiet and the State Prison." " Indeed I" "Yes! And I've been trying to get oven with you for more than two years, and never got a chance till last night, when I borrowed a horse and cart, and took your goods out of the fire. There's the key, and there's nothing to pay." Bo saying, the visitor slammed the d. after him, leaving the astonished hand J Gon nd Women, Work, Fashion de '4 mow 10 DRESS.

However cheap or dazzling, never buy a shewy poor article because cheap. If one silk and one woolen dress can be afforded, let {hem be of the best material, solid eolors, black or something quiet; and it is an excellent plan to purchase extra yards for alterations. Good gloves are al- ways expensive, yet are poor gloves, be- cause cheap, the dearer of the two.
