But here, kiss me before you go." ThM spoke Malcolm Warren. and'his young Malcolm was a young man, twenty-seven years of age, and a carpenter by trade. His wife was one of the sweetest dispositloned girls a town, and she made one of tha best wives She loved her husband with tho whole energy f her pure soul, and she knew that she was ofcd in heart. Her two children, a boy and prl. often saw her shed tears -when they were lone with her in the snug little .sitting-room, wd the boy was old enough to ask what made his 00 A cry, but she dared aot tell him. . - Malcolm Warrea o wned the little) MtlaM in lieh he lived, and he had paid for it all out of his own hard earnings, white Alice laad borne her own share ef tbe burden, by punhaaing all the fontiture. Malcolm was stout, aad an ex- ee'lent workman; and had norer yet teen the hour whea he needwt to lay idle for the want or ark.

Sot had prayed to him to stop the fh reer whHehe yet had strength, but he had offended because she would think that he a ever become a drunkard. So Alice was M to speak all her tears. Yet rite saw with ear ey, all that waa coming. ' She aaw the broad road upon which her beloved was travel nng, ana her heart waa aching. She knew that even now want was s tiring them in the face! 11 Autumn, and the had asked of Malcolm for money to bay warmer clothes for herself ehildren, and he bad none to civ her.' ' Onfv a day before he had brought home a bucketfull ef Hour, instead of tending home a barrel, at be used to do.! He earned money, and where was itl Alaa! poor AHee knew tot well Malcolm's face, and be taw that its manly beawly was lowly bat surely eafing away. The Wgt.hn eyeat were growing-aim, bleared aad bloodshot the once fair eheeks were becoming swollen and bloated; and hit lips looked dry and cracked. No wonder she knelt down by her bedside and prayed ' It was now Saturday evening, ana Malcolm waa going out. He was to meet some friends, and Alice knew that he Was to meet them at the tavern. , He had worked only three days the past week, and he had the pay for these three days' work n his pocket. That money was needed at home, but where would it be on the morrow T ' "Malcolm! O, do not wholly ferret your tend, Joring Alice, when you are gone." But Malcolm id not answer. He kined her not as he used to do, but kissed ber merely be cause she had asked him to, and then left his cottage. After he bad gone, Alice sat down and wept. She could not help it Her darling boy erept by her side, and placed hit arms about her neck.. He asked no questions, but he tekedher not to cry. His little mind teemed to have some idea of the coming calamity. It must hare been vague, but it was clear enough to prevent him from forcing the dread thoughts upon hit moth er. Once more he asked her not to cry, and then his own little heart burst, and mother and child wept together. This was another drop m the poor woman's cup of affliction. O, how palpa ble must now be the husband's course, when even the prattling child saw and knew the dan ger! ' Bat she could only clasp and pray more fervently. And the little boy, when hia mother had done praying, said, "Amen." . . ,.,-' It was a clear, cool evening, and as Malcolm Warren stepped out into the street, he seemed to shake himself aa though he would shake off the influence of the place he was leaving.' But he could not wholly do it. He could not a holly drive from his mind the tcurful countenance of his fond and faithful wife, nor could he forget the look of earnest, simple anguish he had no ticed upon the face of his child.': Yet' ha tried to crush the thoughU that wcro thus springing into life. "Pooh!" said he, as tbe image of his wife forced itself upon him; "it's only "a little fun and frolic. Whose business is itl Get out with vour nonsenso." . And thus speaking, the young husband and father closed his hands a." though he would hold upon the feelings he had tried to repress, and then be hastened on. At length he reached the tavern, and here he found his companion a. The laugh and the joke commenced,, and ere long Malcolm forgot all about his home. He sat in the bar-room, and his sharp wit made food for much merriment.' :'.': Who says there's danger in the bowl 7" cried a young man, as be raised the glass to his lips. ... , "It's the raven's croaks" said another ef his companions. ' " Here a contusion to tbe idea." "Good!" exclaimed Malcolm Warren, pois ing his glass. " Poison in the bowl T Nonsense! Look at old Uncle Adam, now. He's been used to it all his lifetime, and here he is, the oldesbJ man in town. Come, here's to Uncle Adam! Tbe person to whom Malcolm hod thus allu ded was an old white-haired man who stood at the bar, with a glass of rum in his hand. His name was Adam Stanford; and almost ninety years had rolled over his head. His form was bent, and his limbs trembled," but still he lived, and his mind was yet clear. He heard the re mark which the young carpenter made, and ha ving set down his untouched liquor, he turned and gated upon the youthful speaker. He knew Malcolm Warren well. ' ,y' ' " Malcolm," he said, " eomo with me. Come alone, for I alone would speak with you. Come!" .. There waa something very deep and meaning in the old mau's voice, and as he turned toward the door. Malcolm arose to follow. Detain him not," said Adam, as tome of his companions sought to hinder him. " Why thoald I gv with you TV hwasked.' To please' aa oluV man.- I mean to do roa no harm, Malcolm... Cornel", ! Passing out of the door, -they moved across the street Near by waa the village church-yard, and thither he bent hit steps.' Arriving at the gate, he patted in:- When Malcolm hesitated to enter, the old man said: ' , ""Come, follow me.' '' Malcolm went, and toon they stood within the tillage church-yard! And this white-haired guide was the sexton, who for more than sixty years had made those beds for the children of immortality. . The pale anoen shed its beams upon the place, and the chill air sighed mourn fully among the weeping willows that grew by the hedge. The grave-itDoes stood like spec tres among the faded grata, and here aod there arose a white monument, like some more pow erful spirit that watched the "sanctity of the place.' - '; -" '' ; ';"' '" Malcolm Warren," "poke the old man, in a voice so deep that H teemed almost (Of come from one of the neighboring graves, " aot long since yoa pointed to me at aa example of how long a man might live who smiled upon the wjne-eup.' Yoa pointed to me as one who had outlived all nty eoiapaunrjn, and yet at on who i had always quailed at the intoxicating bowl-: Perhaps yoa spoke truly, bat you did not speak the whole truth, for the whole truth yoa did net knew,' and I have brought yon a ere to whisper the troth into your ear." ' . " . .:'. f : Malcolm Warren looked ap into the old man's face, and as he taw bow solemn was tbe expres sion that rested there, he forgot the bad compa ny he had left behind, at tbe tavern,' and bis thoughts became acrioui. , .. . " Malcolm, resumed the sexton, "I can look Dack now into the past, and tee a score of young men who commenced (he race of life with nve. We loved to learn the excitement of the intoxicating cup; and we thought not then at the dangers we were courting. Years paae4 oe, and I saw those twenty men sink into the. arms of death, and I buried them all here.

" ATI goneT" he asked. " Yes, all!" the old man uttered. '"But this it not half, Malcolm. Their wives and children that died, and they, too, lie here!"0. how well I can remember when I saw them standing at the altar; and when they turned away from the place they were blushing brides. But a few short years, and I began to gather tfaem into the fold of death. . They sank down with broken heart and crushed hopes! Some of them lived to be gray -headed, but their gray hairs came down ia tonow to the grave! See that grave there the one .with the dark gray stone.- - He who sleeps beneath that mound was once tbe happiest youth in the village. - He was a carpenter by trade, and he built tbe house in which you were born. He used to laugh and sing over the wine cup. and he thought not then of harm. -1 once heard his young wife beg of him to remain at home with her, but be refused her the boon. She told him that she was cold and hungry, and that her children peeded clothing, but be heeded her not A few short years afterward, that wife's heart broke, and the died, and her children. The hus band and father I found one cold night lying by the road-tide, and he was dead! These are their graves, for I buried tbera all together, i You can see the wife's grave next beyond tbe gray stone of the husband, and those two little graves are where Ko the froxen boy and girl!" The old man drew his sleeve across his eyes. to wipe away the tears, and while be did so, Malcolm bowed his head and groaned mourn fully. , . . "Malcolm Warren, nt aaiil, "there was once a full regiment of stout soldiers followed Napoleon Bonaparte into Russia.' There were many other regiments went also, but of this one in particular have I read. Of that whole com pany of men, only one solitary individual lived to return to the home of his birth. All the rest died on the way. They were starved and fro zen, and they dropped by the wayside. Now, suppose some thoughtless youth should point to that single living soldier, and sav that amid the eternal snows of Russia there is no danger, be en use that man had passed them and still lived! Like that single fragment of the regiment do I stand here a living man." ' ; I : ,i The youth gazed upon the face of the aged speaker, and new emotions were working upon his features. ' Come, Malcolm, I would show you one more spot before we go." . ' " -' ' ' . Tht pld man leaned upon bis stair, and moved slowly on smong the graves, and invol untarily did the youth follow.. At length they stopped by a spot where two graves laid side by ride. ' The slabs were of marble, and they glis tened brightly in the moonlight. " Malcolm," sptike the ssxton, In a deep whis per, "I remember well when I made those two graves. There was no sorrow to fill the graves which here I made, for they who sleep here died amid the sweet breathings of peace and honor. They were good, virtuous people, and when they were gone, our townsmen mourned, for1 our vil lage had lost two of its most noble spirits. O, I love to come and stand over those graves, for I know that God smiles apoa them. There It ne Uint nor dishonor, here. Blalrolm, do yoa know whs rest in the two graves?" , The youth, did not answer, nor did he raise his bead, but with one deep, wild cry, he sank down, and there he lay across both the graves, weeping and sobbing like a child. Hit Fatirea and Moraca slept there! i! -:$!: For a while the old man gazed tearfully upon the scene, and then he took the youth by the arm and aroused, him up.'. The youth followed his guide out from the church-yard, aad after the gate was closed they passed on to the street Here Adam Stanford stopped. .- .,, . n j.i e ,--. ... ;,. " Now, Malcolm," be said, "yoa can return to year mpa.oiocs at the tavern,' but let me pray yoa, avever nse my name aauiaaybu did this evenings.

' The dock struck nin. and Alice Warren fol ded the hands of her Cult boy together,, and bade, him say hit prayers. Her youngest girl was asleep in the cradle.

The Sowers of affection bloomed again about bit heaffb. stone, and the angel of peace and joy made a home beneath hit roof.

I ba wucnence scheme destroys all that was fair about the board, by adding as a fifth member, the United States At torney for Kansas. This gives all power to the President, three of the five members of the board holding office at his will and pleasure. Considering that tht President has neither prut' ciplt to govern bim. character to lose, nor even tense and susceptibility enough to be ashamed of anything, this is giving the people of Kansas but a sorry chance.

Tht Postmaster, as it not nnfrequent ia the ru ral districts, knowing the eagerness with which a message of that tender character would be ex pected, took upon himself the pleasing duty of delivering it; but first, like a good Democrat, he must rote, and of course In a separate self- sealing envelope.' This was duly prepared, with the Democratic ticket safely inclosed, and the gluten stuck together. Stopping at the town meeting, he deposited the letter in the. ballot- box, and proceeded with the separate and self- sealed to the house of the blooming balden, to whom he gallantly handed tbe entire Democrat. ic ticket, State and town. How tht lady inter preted the missive we do not know, but the Moderator and Clerk ungallantly refuted to count the lore-letter, and the Republican can didate was declared elected by one majority.
