From Recollections of a Housekeeper. A TEMPERANCE LECTURE. It ems to me a dream, that I once cleansed ar.d replenished a gin and brandy decanter every Saturday morning. My "swords are turned into ploughshares, and my spears into pruning hooka for there they stand, the pictures of innocence, con vened into water crafts and molasses bot tles. Let every housekeeper seriously look back through her past experience, and' csk herself how many indivduals (unintentional ly-of course) she has led into temptation With these polished seducers. and if she has herself escaped a pit where so many of the bright and good have fallen; offer up a prayer of thankfulness. 1 know not how others may bate felt, but rny soul has often been wrung with anguish hi the utter hopelessness of preventing any individual, who has betrayed a tendency to intemperance, from plunging (fatty further nnd further into s n, when the means' were spend ou' before him, leaving unchecked lite vitiated tnste. My Husband, like others, provided liquor for his sideboard, but only drank ibern as the compliment which society demanded wnh his guests. Willium lngols,my cous en, an interesting young man enterd his of fice as a student, ami resided with us.- H was confiding and communicative, and 1 soon began to love httn as a member of our household. 'At his first dinner, my husband joined him- in a glass of brandy and water; on succeeding days he took it unsolicited ; in a short time he drank at the sideboard before dinner ; and, in a few Week, repeated the draught at bedtime. I asked my Husband's advice on what wns to be done. He answered with a smile Tou afe a' womarv, amf Crvrrtminage these things" better than I. Tulk with Jngotfon the subject. You know my detestation of this genteel tippling, but 1 have no author ity over him." A fui'r opportunity otferd, in my" Hus band's necessary absence at a circuit court for a Week, to sptfakoir the subject without implicating him-. As Ingots was visiling the sideboard as usual, and(-what seems to' me an alarming symptom) covering the loweY j art of the tumbltr with bis hand, I asked him; with a little hesitation, if be drank brartdy for his health. 1 cannot lay thut I do,1' said he, smiling. "Will you take a' little fof yours, cousin?" "No, I thank you,' said I; "l anr afraid of it." "Afraid of it, cousin? It Will not hurl you. You would be all the better for a lit tle tonic." "A little tonic might not hurt me, cousin William, but I (ear being tempted. distrust my own strengb of character." "Pshaw; you are not serions; I have been drinking a little several years." "Wb; do you drink it?" 1 asked. 'Your mind is naturally active, your con vrsalion agreeable, you have AO mental or bodily suffering, and have a thousand ra tional modes of enjoyment; If you will only look into your own feelings, you will find a cormorant settling over them, whose guilty cry is 'give, give;' "You are a sweet monitor, cousin Cla ra ; I belive I must take a little brandy, if it is only to bear you scold so prettily," "Oh, Ingols," 1 answered, "do not; not ; in mercy to yourself, treat this subject so lightly. Why society tolerates its abuse, 1 know not. I see already a look directed o that bottle when you are about to pour out i s libations to your incipient sensual desires, which speaks an awkward con sciousness You are already screening the quantity you take If you love my scool ing, hear it planly. Your manly and graceful form will soon begin to lose its firmness, your brilliant eyes shine with a drunkard '8 glassy inexpressiveness, and your mind, " "Where Ood baa set his seal To fire the world assuraBO of a man," reduced to childishness, worse than child ishness, since its weakness will have no redeeming innocence. 'But, Mrs. Packard," said Ingols, "you forget bow many indulge in ardent spirits without injury." ul do not forget that, William, but I rememder more vividly how many hare been ddstroyd, too and body,' while these moderate drinkers, favord perhaps by con stitutional resistance, have been unscathed by the burning trial. But they will not escape, coin in William; they cannot escape His eyes who watches motives rather than deeds. " They may be strong enough to carry until death the unrighteous banner of the drunkard without reeling, while others are falling on the right hand and on the left, but they lead the way to. the distruc tion of others, and.they must answer for it" 'My dear cousen," said I ngols, "you take tbis matter too seriously. You make a bugbear of a trifle." A trifle I" I exclamed; call not that a trifle which rifles the mind and body of tneir best gifts. If I were permitted, I would go (not in the wildness of quixotism I ct in the spirit of him who drove the pro faners from God's temple) end deatroy every implement like that before you, which at tract you end others from the simplicity of nature. They disgrace our homes, and often con vet t ibem into bacchanalian orgies I had a friend once Wirrrnm, young and lovely; such a one as ydur warm heart would have loved, and your discriminating mind appreciated. She received a shock from the early disappointment of her a Sec tiorrs, pined, sickened, and dropped like a withering flower. Would fb God she bad died in the unstained paleness of her beau ty? Tonics were recommended, nnd as medicine tbey were right. Her health was restored, and all would have been well, had they not been spread out among the wants and luxuries of life. Her sensual appetite increased. I sicken as I remember the miserable subterfuges that marred her fair character, first chilling the confidence of friends, and then by. open exposures dis gracing them. The enemy wrought surel , baffled but not subdued by reproaches, by sarcasms, by entreaties, by the shunning eye of retreating friendship, by the ago nizing appeals of a dying conscience. She died a drunkard. Her mother wept bitter er tears than should ever fall over a daugh ter's grave, her rater's cheek paled wi h a sorrow (rudder than grief; and her father 1 tremble while I say" ft, cursed bis first born child." ' Ingols had not tasted his draught while I was speaking but held it in bis hand, and when I' ceased, quietly placed it on the table and said, "Cousin, I have not the heart to drink ibis now, and will give it up if only to please you." "You are not angry, then," I said, ea grely. Angry 7 no," he replied. How can I be angry with a true friend, and a lady too?" with a low bow. Thank you," said I, "and now that I have gone thus far, mcy I proceed?" "Yes, cous in, I give you carle JblancheV "I shall do it by atcions, not words:" I said, with solemnly pledged myself in prayer la God that 1 will never again aid tne cause ot tne destroying n?ei iut promise me (not that I claim any right over you but that of interest in your welfare) that you will abstain from ardent spirits, now in rhe sunshine of your" youth, 'before the evil days come . Ingols hesitated, reflected", and promised half earnestly, half jestingly. On the following day no decanter wai (o be seen on my sideboard or table, and 1 car ried the keys up stairs. Ingols was very a miable, and our Week passed hapily away. My husband mured and took no notice of the decanters. I had retired to my bedroom early one evening, when I heard Ingols enter, and nsk the servant for the keys. She came up stairs, and I gave them to her in silence. 1 heard her trasfer them to him, and held my breath. He opened the door. I had emptied every decanter. I heard the rattling of the" keys as the door closed, and a faint ess' dome over me at my own daring. A half hour passed away, and Polly came back with a slip of paper, on which was written, "You have conquired, cousin. 1 thank you, and thank God." I bursrinto tears, and sobbed as if my heart would break; nor was I relieved until my bueband returned antf said he loved me belief for my mbfal courage. Correspondence of fXe London Times. THE8PANI8H-MEX1CAN DISPUTE. MXduid, July it. The Mexican, nego tiator, Sfenor Lafragua, is still in Madrid, and to-rjray he has an interview with Senor Pidal a final one (here is reason to think, and1 there can scarcely be a hope that it will have any good result. It is probably a last attempt at concilia tion, and, it fruitless, it is to be expected that Senor Lafragua will avail himself ot the opportunity id take his non-official leave of the stubborn Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs. Perhaps, if Senor Pidal be sincere iu his desire to avoidJiostilities, he will adopt, the. last plan that now svems practicable, and send a commissioner to Mexico charged to propose ah ultimatum to; the comon tort Governnient,- and, should that be re jected, to transmit to General Concha or ders for immediate action. This idea of sending an ultimatum is, however, peremptorily repudiated by the Corres pondeucia, which is well known to re ceive most of its inspirations from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Semi official sheet adds : "Our Government occupies itself at this moment with the important Mexi can question, and proofs will soon be seen that Spain is enduring only until she is wounded in her national honor. To' this end it is said - that two war steamers, the Ulloa and Pizarro, are a bout to sail from Cadiz for the- Havana, taking out instructions for General Con cha from the Madrid Government, and also conveying more troops and materi el of war for the expedition against Mexico, which Spain will inevitably un dertake unless she receives full satisfac tion from that Republic! It is very easy to talk in this Bom bastes vein of Spanish, honor, which, of late years at least, has not always been preserved very bright nnd unsullied ; but we are no longer in the days when every trifle was deemed sufficient ground for a war, affecting not only the nations immediately engaged, but oth ers whose interest would suffer by it. Certain Spauish newspapers have for a long time past-indulged in every species ofthreaf and invective against Mexico, but no facts have been stated or proofs given, either by the press or by this Government, to show ihat there really are sufficient grounds for hostilities. It is unnecessary to enter agaiu upon the facts of the case. -M .
