New-Year's Day came 'round in due time, with its gilts ana greetings, anu found Madge still at Mr. Howard's, the patient nurse-girl, the willing waiting maid, swift to run, slow to speak, quick to appreciate kindness, winning her way to all hearts, Irom the stately grand-dame, in her rustling brocade, to bright-haired Bertie, nestling to sleep in her arms yet ever keeping locked in her own bosom the story of her griefs, which her occasional visits home made ever present. She was by this time accustomed to plenty and splendor. Her face had tor gotten its pinched look, and her hands had lost their old trick of clutching" at the tattered shawl. And to-day, of , all days, surrounded by joyousness and good cheer, one would hat e said she might be happy. Hut t-day, of all days, her thoughts were far away down 1 wenty-ninth street,' anu her heart carried its old burden. So, when Bertie was sung in his crib, and the family, with perhaps a lingering guest, had gath ered around the fireside, she threw her mantle over her head, and rushed out into the starlight." Madge, nothing daunted. " It was a reckless thing to throw the glass ; but, oh, sir, if you knew what I know, it you could see what I have seen I dren have a beautiful home to make them happy. Can you imagine what it would be for them to live without any of these lovely things books, pic tures, toys without even the plainest nec essaries of life to see them winder bare foot and hungrv through the streets, and then back to their broken-hearted mother, and she weeping because she knew not where the morning meal was to come from ? And suppose they dreaded to hear your footsteps, and knew by sad experi ence that they had reason to dread it. Oh ! forgive me. sir : I have such a father I I wish he was like you ! It was the wine cup that made him what he is, and that made our home what it is ; and sooner than touch or taste the poison, ten thousand times I'd rather wander out again from this blessed home you have given me, into the hunger and cold and darkness." Madge sobbed convulsively, Frank cried as heartily, and Mrs. Howard was in tears. ' Poor child," said she, tenderly, " I thought she had a history !" But now the old lady, the grandmother, in her rich brocade, and with her silvery dreadful woman," on our hands. She J Mrs. Lincoln.

Then, gliding around in front of the great mansion, she nodded at it, and laughed to think how it seemed to invite her with a thousand pleasant glances, to its friendly shelter. Then she ttepted up Oathe verai ddi, and, as the damask cur tain was turned aside, she looked in upon the happy group. The noble gentleman and lady who had given her a home the aged grandmother, with the courtly man ners and statelv dress of fifty years ago Master Clerence, sometimes so teasing, sometimes so grand, with his gentlemanly airs and young Master Frank, always her friend and champion. There were rich curtains and carpets, and handsome furniture, costly pictures, and gleaming chandeliers; everything that goes to make up a home of taste and elegance ; and Madge loved beauty as nat urally as bees loe sunshine. But one thing marred the scene. Gazing down through the gorgeous vista, she saw, at the further eid, a shining sideboard, loa ded with wine glasses and decanters. her arm-chair to the middle door, began to Yt s ; the destroyer of her home was there ! not coarse, and vulgar, and bloated, .1 ... l. . i .

On the wine cup she could never gnze without a shudder ; but just now she did gaze, till all that bright scene faded away from before her sight find she beheld, in its stead, a wretched loom, with scanty broken funiture, a few dying embers on the hearth, a few dry crusts the only food, a handful of rags the only covering, the mother and litllo. ones huddled sadly to gether, awaiting nome one with fear, which amounted, in the younger ones, to terror. Then she strained every nerve to listen for Uu di eadcd footstep, borr.o entirely aw.iy , by her imagination, till, suddenly beeom- we ! ing conscious that she was observed, with a low cry, she darted swiltly away. Did you see Madge at the w indow ? how wild she looked !" exclaimed Frank, What could have been the matter ?" " Matter 'i humph 1" said Clarence, wil- ' ling enough to tease his younger brother. " Peahaps she was waiting lor an invita tion to take a seat in the parlor the im pertine .t little beggar !" " She is not an impertinent beggar say that again, at your peril, Master Clar ence !" replied i'runk, warmly. ' She would grace any parlor in the land ; and I think it a shame she should be excluded from the society she would adorn, just be cause (die is poor." " Oil, our little nurse-girl is a lady, is phe?" replied Clarence, with a provoking drawl; pray ask her if she will conde scend to permit you the honor of pledging her in a glass ot w ine. Come, I dare you to show your gallantry !" " I'll do it," said Frank ; and you shall pee how grace felly she will respond.

" She is right! the girl is right !" she exclaimed, with authority, striking her gold-headed cane forcibly upon the floor. " She did well to break the glass and spill the wine, and rouse us. from our deadly stupor ; she did well to lash us with her little vixenish tongue, for our selfish indif ference and careless ease, whfn thousands are going the downward road to ruin, per haps, because cf this very temptation placed before them in iust such homes as this." 'Who hath woe? who hath con tention ?' " she continued, as if talking to herself; who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause ? They that tarry long at the wine. L.oot not thou upon the wine when it is red. At the last it bitcth like a serpent, and 6tingcth likp an adder" Then, in a broken voice, she cried : " O Mortimer, you had a brother, once do yon know where he is ? have you seen him for years : is he among the liv ing or the dead ? One day, when the fumes of wine had mounted to his biain, he quarrelled with you, and God forgive him icdi ns mother have we ever seen him since ? It was icine that destroyed him. I have warned you before, and warn you now again, of this pernicious fashion. Banish it for your own children's nake." And the poor, old lady swayed to and fro, moaning. " U my ooy I U my boy ! Mr. Howard, who had be-n. painfully abstract d, now roused himself. " Clarence, Frank, all ot you, retire. I will speak with Madge in the morning." So thev stole quietly out, one by one, aud Mr. Howard gave his arm to his aged mother, and conducted her to her room, and erelong silence brooded over the household. True to his promise, the gentleman had a long conversation with Madge next morning, not to reprove, but to soothe and comfort lu?r.
