tors had passed over him and their frosts
were scattered thick upon his temples. His
figure was stately jand erect ; his person
commanding ; and there was a gravity up

around him, and he saw his son s sons, even
of the secMid generation. , Misfortune had
luid her hand upon him, and"poverty with

sadden tho evening ol his days. - Many

In truth, the aged, white-hcndea man
was a dru'iitari',and for his drunkenness I
saw him expelled from the church. Despair
then sat upon his prospects, and his case
was regarded as beyond recovery. Just
then a temperance society was formed in

The American Eaglk.- A boatman,
