The other day we noticed him. as he came abroBB the bridge, with his wagon full of cotton, and chickens, and eggs. HeyFound ready market for his produce and we thought how happy his little ones would be when he returned home in the evening with toys, and dreBsea, and shoes, and food for the morrow, and some clear jraoiiey in his purse. We thought we could see his wife stand 0 in the doorway to give him a cordial greet­ ing on his return, so desirous were we that he should make home ones happy and contented. We could almost see his cheerful face as he returned to his family after a day's absence. So we thought, and returned to our work. But eventide came, and he passed by our window again. He had nothing we thought he would have. The bed of the wagon was bare. No little shoes, nor food lor the morrow, nor money in his purse, we dare say. The man was drunk. t Ee had changed, and this changed our thoughts of his home,. We could see the children shrinking from hie approach, and the wife, so careworn and sorrowful. She could not meet him with, the tender smile with which she had intended greet­ ing him. Ee was breaking her heart and preparing - to make paupers of his children. V ::.vj CORPORATION ELECTION.
