THE POWER OP MUHIC. 
BY T. 8. AKTHUIt. 
“Dkau fatlicr,” waid Mary Edwards, 
don’t go out this ovening; ” and the young 
girl, who had scarcely numbered fourhicn 
years, laid her hand upon the arm of her 
parent. 
liut Mr. Edwards slKK)k her off impatient¬ 
ly, muttering :is he did so—- 
“ Can’t 1 go where I pletisc ? ” 
“ Oh, yes, father,” urged Mary, drawing 
up to him again, notwithstanding her re- 
j)uls(!. “ But there is going to be a storm, 
and 1 wouldn’t go out” 
“Htxirm! Nonsonsc! Tliat’s only your 
pretence. But I’ll be home soon—long be¬ 
fore tlie rain, if it comes at all.” 
And saying this, Mr. Edwards turned 
from his daughter, and left the house. As 
srxjn Jis she was alone, Maiy sat down and 
commenced weeping. There had been sad 
changes since she was ten yetirs old. In 
that time her father had fallen into habits 
of intemperance, and not onl^ wasted his 
substance, but abused his family; and sad¬ 
der still, her mother had died broken-heart¬ 
ed, leaving her alone in tlie world with a 
drunken father. 
The young girl’s trials under these pain¬ 
ful circumsUiuces, were great Night after 
night her father would come home intoxi¬ 
cated, and it was so rare a thing to get a 
kind word fi om him, that a tone oi afl'ection 
from his lips would move her instantly to 
tears. Daily the work of declension went 
on. Drunkenness led to idleness, and gra¬ 
dually Mr. Edwards and his child sunk low¬ 
er and lower in the scah; of comfort Tiie 
pleasant home where they had lived for 
years was given up, and in small, poorly fur¬ 
nished rooms they hid themselves from ob¬ 
servation. After this change Mr. Edwards 
moved along his downward way more ra¬ 
pidly ; earning less, and drinking more. 
Mary grew old fast Under severe trials 
and afllictions, her mind rapidly matured; 
and her alfections for her father gr(*w 
stronger and stronger, as she realized more 
and more fully the dre.adful nature and ul- 
, timat(! tendency of the infatuation by which 
he was led. 
At last, in the anguish of her concern, 
. she ventured upon remonstraniie. 'riiis 
brought only an angry rejiulse, lulding hit- 
terness to h(!r cup ol‘ sorrow. The appeai- 
ance Uj which we have alluded, gave Mary 
an excuse for urging her father not to go 
out How her remonstrance wjis received 
has been seen. While the jK)or girl sat 
weeping, the disUmt rolling of thunder in¬ 
dicated the approach of the storm to which 
she had referred. But she cared little for 
it now. Her father had gone out She 
had 8jK)ken of it only with tlie hope that ho 
might have been induced to remain with 
her. Now that he was away, the tigitation 
within was too great to have any concern 
for the turbulent elements without 
On leaving his home, Mr. Pldwards, who 
had not taken any licjuor for three or four 
hours, ajul whose aj)pe.tite wfis sharpened 
for the Jiccustomed stimulus, walked quick¬ 
ly in the direction of a drinking hou.se 
wIku’C he usually spent his evenings. On 
entering he found that there wjis a little 
commotion in the bar-room. A certiin in¬ 
dividual not over-friendly to landlords had 
introduced himself; and, his character be¬ 
ing known, the inmates werej disjwsed to 
have a little sport with him. 
“Come now, fellow!” said one, just as 
Edwards came in. “ Mount this table and 
make a first rate temperance speech.” 
“ Do, and I’ll treat you U> the stiffest 
glw-is of whiskey hjddy Ihe landlord can 
mix,” added another. “Or jierhaps you 
would like a mint julep or gin cocktail bet¬ 
ter ? Anything you please. Make a s])e,ech 
and call for the Injuor. I’ll sUmd the 
treat.” 
"What d’ye, say landlord? Shall he 
make the speech ? ” sjiid another who was 
eager for sport. 
" Please yourselves,” re})lied the landlord 
“ and you’ll please me.” 
" Very well. Now for tluj si)<!<K5h, old 
fellow 1 Here, mount this table.” And 
two or tliree of the most forward took hold 
of his arms. 
“I’m not in the humor for making a 
speech,” said tlie temperance man, “ huh if 
it will please you as well. I’ll sing you a 
song.” 
" Give us a song, then. Anything to ac¬ 
commodate. But come, let’s liijuor first.” 
“No,” said the other firmly, “I must 
sing the song first, if I sing it at all.” 
, " Don’t you think jour jiipcs will be 
clearer for a little drink of some kind or 
other ? ” 
“Perhaps they would,” was replied.— 
“ So, provided you have no objection, I’ll 
take a glass of cold wahir —if such a thing 
is known in this place.” 
The glass of water was presented, and 
then the man, who was somewhat advan¬ 
ced in years, prepared to give the jiromisiid 
song. All stood listening atUnitively, Ed¬ 
wards among the rest. The voice of the 
old man was low and tremulous, yet every 
word was uttered distinctly and with a pa- 
' thos which showed that the meaning was 
felt The following well written temper¬ 
ance song was the one he sang; and while 
his voice filled the room every other sound 
was hushed: 
“ Whoro aro the friendH tliot to mo wore bo dear, 
Lone, long ago—long, long ago? 
Where ore thohopeH that my heart uwhI to cheer. 
Long, long ago—long ago? 
FricndB that I loved in the gmvo uro laid low, 
HopoH that I cheriMhed ure lied from mo now, 
1 uin degraded, for rum wan my foe— 
Long, long ago—long iigol 
“yudly my wife, bowed her beautiful head— 
Long, long ago—long, long f»go, 
Oh, how I went when I heard «he wu«doodl 
Long, long ago—long ago. 
yho wn« an ungel—my love and my guide— 
Vainly to wave me from ruinNlic! tried, 
I'oor broken-heorbid! 'twaH well tliat nho died 
Long, long ago—long ago. 
“ Let me look buck on tho duyn of my youth— 
Long, long ago—long, long ago. 
1 waH no Htrunger to virtue and truth, 
Long, long ago—long ago. 
Oh, for tho hoitoH that wore pure iih the day! 
oil, for the joyH that were purer than theyl 
Oh, for the hour« that I’ve Hquundered uwuy— 
Long, long ago—long ago.” 
The silence that pervaded the room Avhen 
the old man’s voice died, or might rather 
be said, sobbed away, was tlie silence of 
death. His own heart was touched, for he 
wiped his eyes, from which the tears had 
started. Pausing scarcely a moment, he 
moved slowly from the room, and left his 
audience to their own reflections. There 
was mjt one of them who w.'is not more or 
less affected, but the deepest impression haxl 
been made on the heart of Edwards. The 
song seemed as if it hud been made for him. 
'I’lie second verse, particularly, went thril¬ 
ling to Uie Vbry centre of his feelings: 
" Madly my wife bowed her beautiful hoadl ” 
llow suddenly arose before him the sor¬ 
row-stricken form of the wife of his youth 
at tliose words! and when the old man’s 
voice faltered on the line— 
“ Poor broken-hearted, ’twas well thatuho diedl ” 
The anguish of his sjiirit was so great, that 
he only kejit himself from sobbing aloud by 
a strong cflbrt at self-control. Eri; the sjiell 
was broken, or a word uttered by any one, 
he arose and left the house. 
For many minutes after her father’s de¬ 
parture, Mary sat weeping bitterly. Ten¬ 
derly (lid she love her jiarent, but this love 
was only a source of the keenest anguish, 
for she saw him swiftly passing along the 
road to destruction without the power to 
save him. 
Grief wastes itself by its own violence.— 
iSo it was in this instance. 'J'he t(;ars of 
Mary w(!rc at length dried; her sobs were 
hushed, and she was about rising from her 
chair, when a blinding Hash of lightning 
glared into the room, followed instantly by 
a deafening jar of thunder. 
“ Oh, it father were home! ” she munnur- 
ed, clasping her hands tog(;ther. 
Even while she sUxid in this attitude, the 
d(x>r opened quietly and Mr. Edwai’ds en- 
Uired. ' 
“ 1 thought you would be afraid, Mary, 
and so I came home,” said he in a kind ' 
voice. i 
Mary looked at him with surprise. Tliis ' 
wius soon changed to joy as she perceived ' 
that lie was perfectly sober. 
“ Oh, father! ” she sobbed, unable to con- 
ti ol her feelings, and leaning lier face on his 
brejist as she spoke—" if you would never 
go away! ” * 
Tenderly did tlie father draw his arm ' 
round his weeping child, and kissed her 
pure forehead. 
“ Mary,” said he, as calmly as he could * 
spexik, “for your mother’s sake”—but he 
could not linish the sentence*. His voice 
quivered, and b(‘came inarticulate. ‘ 
Solemnly in the silence of liis own heart, ' 
did the father, us lie stood thus with his 
child in his arms, repeat the vows he had ' 
already taken. And he kept his vows. ^

A PHILOSOPHER PUZZLED. 
The proprietor of a tan yard adjacent to 
a certain town in Virginia, concluded to 
build a stand, or sort of store, on one of the 
main streets, for the purpose of vending his 
leather, buying raw liides and the like. Af¬ 
ter completing his building, he bcigan to con¬ 
sider what sort of a sign it would be best to 
put up for the purpose of attracting atten¬ 
tion to his new establishment; and for days 
and weeks he wius sorely puzzled on this 
subject Several devices were mlopted, and 
on further consideration, rejected. At last 
a hapjiy idea struck him. lie bored an au¬ 
gur hole through tho dcor-po^t and stuck a 
calf’s tail into it, witli the bushy end Haunt¬ 
ing out Aftiir a while he noticed a grave 
kxiking personage standing near the door, 
with his spectacles on, gazing inbintly on 
the sign. And there he continued to stand, 
gazing and gazing until the curiosity of the 
'Tanner was greatly excited in turn. He 
stepped out and addressed the individual: 
“ (food moniing,” said he. 
“ Morning,” said the other without mov¬ 
ing his eyes from the sign. 
“You want to buy leatlier?” said tho 
store keejier. 
“ No.” 
“ Do you wish to sell hides ?” 
“ No.” 
“ Are you a farmer?” 
“ No.” 
“ Are you a merchant ?” 
“ No.” j 
“Arc you a lawyer?” 
" No.” 
“Arc you a doctor?” 
“ No.” 
“Whatthe deuce aro you, tlicn?” 
“ I’m a Philosojihor. I have been stand¬ 
ing here for an hour, trying to see if I could 
ascerUiin how that calf got through that au¬ 
gur hole, and I can’t make it out to save 
my life!”

A HINT TO THE YOUNG. 
Diuuknck, industry, and projicr improve¬ 
ment of time, arc material duties of the 
young. 'I'o no purpos(*, aro they endowed 
with the best abilities, if thoj want activity 
for exerting them. Unavailing, in this case, 
will be every direction that cun be given 
them, cither for their temporal or spiritual 
welfare. In youth the haliits of indu.stry 
are more (lasily acijuired. In youth, the in¬ 
centives to it ar<! strongest, from ambition 
and from duty, from emulation and hojie, 
from all the prosjio.cls which the beginning 
of life aH’ord.s. if, dead to these calls, you 
already languish in slothful inaction, what 
will be able to (juicken the more sluggish 
current of advancing years? 
Industry is not only the instrument of 
improvement, hut the foundation ofplea.surc. 
Nothing is so opjiosite to tlio true enjoy¬ 
ment of life, as the relaxed and feeble slate 
of an indolent mind. 1 le who is a stranger 
to industry, may pos.s(;ss but lie cannot en¬ 
joy. h'or it is labor only which gives relish 
to jilcasure. It is the ajijiointed vehicle of 
every good man. It is the indi.spensihle 
condition of our jiiASsessing a sound mind in 
a sound body.
