SHe was a heautiful londe, clothed in a plain ihoilgh neat dress with remarkably rose cheeks; a lip the bee might swoon on, and soft dark eyes, now a little dimmed by the gathering moisture of sadness. While others were hurrying to and fro, she stood on the edge, of the pier ga zing earnestly at the vessel, jnow loosing from her moorings; Her eyes was fixed nla hand some young man leaning ovef the traffjrail, rig ged out in California dress, who was,' no less intently watching the gfrl ho ;wa leaving. Just as the vessel began to move infthe wa ter, and fecede from the wharf, the. liars un bidden started from their rej)ose tears in whose dumb grief there was a powerful elo. quence, filled her large melting eyes, and stretching out her hands to him. in a m It thrill. ingly plaintive -whisper, she said 4 Chailey ! aint you sorry now V -The color flew frokn Char ley's cheek, his pale lip quivered a thoinent, and then he turned, without speakingj to hide himself and his tears in the cabin and we turned away thinking that that young tan per chance tvas leaving behind him, in that fond and loving heart, a treasure of mure worth than all the wealth of California, and. thinking too, were vte. of t hose lines of ; " When eyes ate beaming, What never tongue might tell ; When tears are streaming f rom their crystal well, j; When hands are linked that dread to paft, And heart is met by throbbing heart i Oh! bitter, bitter is the smart Of those who bid farewell."

I)ec 21 33 THE TEMPERANCE CAUSE. THE METHODIST DISTILLER AND ; f - HIS PREACHER. Someyears ago, the Rev.. Mr. Axley, of ec centric but pious memory, had preached to one of the congregationsjn his circuit, and afier the sermon, as wns the cntm f Methodist prearh. ers in those days, and as it still is, wVen they do their duly, the preacher bad class meetings. He had questioned each brother and sisier. on the subject of their experience, practice, and piijoynient in the divine lif. giving to each a word of encuragement, comfoit and advire, as the cae seented to require, filling up ihe'inter vals by singing a suitable verse with life and spirit, until lall the members had been ques tinned, but a certain very prominent member of the church, who, it seems, owned a distillery, and by some means his preacher found out the fact,' when, after ihe most serious conversations with the others, the following examination took place Preacher. Well, brother Jerry, how do you come on making whiskey ? Brother. (Somewhat startled.) O, I don't know, tolerally well though. P. " Well, brother, tell us how much money do you give for a bushel of corn 7 B. Twenty five cents a bushel. P. Tweniy-five cents ! very cheap that, I much whiskey do you suppose one bushel of corn will make ? ? B. GanJi say. I suppose about three gal lons. (Very much confused.) P. So, three gallons! Why, that's a con siderable turn out, I should Judge. But, broth er, what do 'you fjet for a gallon of Whiskey ? B. (Looking rather wild.) Sevenly-five cents. ' P. Sevenly-five cents. Two hundred per rent.!- and that too, I reckon, by ihe barrel, you get more, I suppose, by ihe jug full. But, bro ther, tell your brethren, is'nt the slops very good to fatten hogs upon ? B. Y?, pretty good. P. And wont the hogs you fatten for nothing on the slops come mighty nigh pacing for the corn. B. Well, very nigh it. P. But to come, to the question, brother, do you make a real good article ? Will it bear a bead ? . By this lime the brolher was so perfectly con fused by, the old preacher's interrogations, he began to wish he had never seii the preacher, or the di.tillery either. The class rou!d scarce ly maintain their gravity during the dialogue, and we need not add that the poor fellow was so tormented, every lime he uel a neighbor, by the salutation, Well, brother, how do you come on making whiskey ?' and Do you make a realign! article V ' Will it bear a bead?' lhat he actually broke up his distillery and be came a consistent Methodic. 1 M ED FOUL) UUM.
