I did not offer to stay later than ten, for by so doing I might betray some- what of the anxietjr and boding of ill that oppressed me. My sitting-room was opposite her parlor, where I knew sho would watch and wait. After light- ing the gas I did not draw the cur- tains, but sat down with mv knitting where she could see me, and so prac- tically watched and waited with her. When from a city steeple eleven was tolled, my neighbor grew restless. When with solemn, measured stroke midnight was announced, I heard her side door open and her quick steps on the gravid. I met her at the door. , \ Dear Mrs. M ,\ she exclaimed, breathlessly. M how good of you to bo up ! I half believe you have been watching with me. Vinton has not come home yet. What does it mean ? He never stayed out so late before/' Hhe was shivering with cold, but it was the chill of fear. I put my arms around her aud said : \ Let UH hope for the best, my dear.

A Story of the Tempore ne'e Morrment. \ I think such action is milady like, uriwomaulv, and altogether wrong:,\ said Mrs. Villiott warmlv. 4I The idea of women marching in liands through the streets, followed by a rabble of rude men aud boys- the idea of refined ladies forcing: their way into some filthy I Mir room, full of obscene, guzzling, ill- omene<3 looking loafers, and kneeling on the tobacco-stained floor in audible prayer.| Must woman unsex herself j and breve the most disgusting phase of I mblicity ? Must the pearls of religious eeliugt even in the most sacred form of prayer, be cast before the swine that infest these low dens ? \ The epeaker was a young and very pretty lady, who had lived in our town rtl>out a year. Her husband wss a Western man, one who had grown up in our young city. He was well con- nected, of recognized ability as a law- yer, and with a future before him of the faiifest promise. It had occasion- ally been whispered that he drank rather freely, but no one had ever seen him the wofse for it. Of late he spent his evenings out more frequently, excusing his absence by saying that there were { mrtics that could be seen in the way of >usiness t>etter at night than during the tlav. , Mrs. Judge Ashman, another inti- mate friend, was with us. Her only immediate response to Mrs. Elliott's words Was a deep sigh. At last she said : •*Th4evil grows so desperate! ean scarcely wonder at any effort to coun- teract if, though I must say with you that I nan scarcely understand this one. I do not see how a lady can go to such places its you describe, I suppose, only too truly. Hut the trouble is, the worst mischief is not douo at these 4 dens.* Many of our drinking sajoons are ele- ? ant iu all their appointments, and are requented by gentlemen. •• No matter,\ answered Mrs. Elliott, | almost hotly ; •' womanly delicacy for- bids that she should go to such a place. They ere frequented by roues and gamblers also, who differ from the rug- ged loafers only iu being better dressed. was soon at her side, and with her hand (which trembled aud fluttered like a frightened bird) in mine, we sat silently through another long hour. Finally the door-bell rang. She flew to open it. Her husband stumbled in, and would have fullgn had she not caught him. It was a pitiable flight to see him lean- ing upon and clinging to her frail and trembling: form, as if she were a lanip- post. AH the light streamed through the door, 1 eairyht a glimpse of the glitter of a policeman's star, aud then j heard his grufl voice : ( j ii»MIHrtw>«w«niioilir ii 9« %a& been for me, he might have met a foul death, for I found him in the gutter this raw night.\ True enough, ho was reeking with the filth of the street, and besmearing the delicate fabric of the wife's dress as he clung to her ; but that wife would soon be in agony over deeper, more loathsome stains. 41 It's a lie I\ hiccoughed her hus- band, in tones HO different from his UHIIJII clear, manly voice. 'Twas in a feather bed. tl () Ood!\whafs the matter with him T* gasped the wife. 44 Well, ma'am, you are innocent,\ raid the policeman in a not unkindly tone. 4 * Tin sorry for you, but do you really mean to say that you don't know he's drunk V\ ill stay a bit aud help you with him if you wish.\ At the word 4# drunk \ she tottered a ruoaient, as if she would fall, then, by a great eft'ort recovering herself, said hoarsely : 44 No, no; go away, twill take care of him. Stay ; let me thank you for bringing him home, but in the name of mercy don't tell any one what you have seen. The man made no promise, as he de- parted and I shut the door. 44 Mrs. M , I am even sorry you are here. 1 would hide this from all tin world* Would that 1 could hide it j from heaven. Hut 1 know I can trust you. What shall 1 do with him ?\ This horrid, unexpected scene at the door had found us both too bewildered to act, nnd for a moment longer we looked helplessly at each other. Then her husband muttered, * 4 What's the UMO standing hero ?\ aud staggered into the parlor. Near the door stood ft dainty little table with Mrs. Elliott's bridal wreath and bouquet upon it, encased in a glass cover. He stumbled against this and fell with it crashing to the floor. The warmth of the room with the excess of liquor that he had drank now produced nausea, and, sickening to behold, the flowers that had crowned his bride's brow were now fouled literally, even as his action had stained her fair, pure name. H \I am not a child!\ she answered, •Jmort fiercely. i4 1 intend to know and jaoe tie worst of this matter,\ and with 4 white, stern face she read every word, and tlen sat for a few moments with the oil thoughtful contraction of brow. Suddenly she started up with a look of Axed pirpose and said; *' \ftme with me,\ \TMiere?\ 41 T« Mrs. Judge Ashman's.\ t Tho judge's family was just sitting down to breakfast when we arrived. \ Why, Mrs. Elliott, and Mrs. M , too I\ exclaimed that good lady, in un- feigned surprise. \What is the mat- ter ? purely, this is not a social call.\ 14 N#,\ said Mrs. Elliott impetuously, l£rs. Ashman, I take back tadtai 9«*n* fca Mq*«* a, in order to break them up if thev can. I am going to Harry Hill's to-day, if I go alone. He about the ftyune as murdered my husband last tight,\ and sho briefly told her story. \lam going there this very morning,\ a^e continued. \He must resist a wife's prayers and wife's curses if he sella my husband one drop more. Will yf>u go with me ?\ The judge joined us from the dining- reom, and remonstrated: * \ Really, Mrs. Elliott, I greatly aym- pithizo with yon, but 1 hope yq0 will de nothing rash. You will only expose y6urself to insult, and accomplish noth- llg. Perhaps you may obtain some legal redress.\ With a dignity and irepressiveness which even he had never possessed upon tie bench, the aroused wife silenced him with a gesture. \ You are not equal to this matter, Jtdge Ashman,\ she said, \nor are f eur legal forms. During the past night have seen my own gravo open, and in it buried life, youth, happiness. What is far worse, I have seen the yawning giave of my husbands and I know it to b« the mouth of hell. And do you asla ma to go to law about such matters ? Harry Hill and his kind are digging these graves. 1 never realized it before. Merely he does not. Unless he is a fiend, he will cease the vile traffic when I tell him the truth. I tell you I will go, if J go alone I\ \George cried Mrs. Ashman, in a voice of anguish, \how often has your own sou been drunk at that same Harry Hill's ?\ The judge turned pale and abruptly left the loom. \ You shall not go alone,\ continued Mrs. Ashman, sobl>ing on Mrs. Elliott's shoulder ; \a seore of women that I know of, smitten by this terrible curse, will go with you, if you will lead the way. Some are rich and some are poor, but we all have common ground iu this matier. I will send them word.\ I shall never forget the group that we found assembled in the Judge's parlor. There were young faces prcnent besides that of Mrs. Elliott.

At last we sailed forth, pale, but as determined a little phalanx aa ever as- naulted a death-swept breach. It was sleeting, but we carried no umbrellas. This was not a pleasure excursion. Wo marched as soldiers do. Our appearance upon the street soon attracted attention. People spoke hur- riedly and excitedly together. \IW thunder, it's broke out here!\ 1 beam one man exclaim. \ Where will they strike first ?\ 44 Hurry Hill's, as you live,\ was answered, \for that's Vint. Elliott's wife aleadin'.\ The news spread fast, and soon we had an ample but nondescript follow- ing. Still the crowd was respectful. Tlio worst man who had caught a glimpse of Mr. Elliott's face could not have been otherwise. By turning a corner we enme sud- denly upon the entrance of Hill's sa- loon. There was a bustle within as if they would lock the door against us, but we were too prompt for them, anil entered. The crowd thronged in after us, and with those already there, filled the place completely. Mrs. Elliott advanced at once to the bar, and we grouped ourselves around her, and such a group as had never been i seen in our city before. \What does'this mean?\ asked Mr. Hill, appearing from an Miner room with a face on which surprise and a?iK**r ! contended for the mastery. He was a florid, low-browed, thick-set man, showily dressed, and with a hard sinis- ter eye. After one glanco at him, \ hoped little from Mrs. Elliott's appeal. 1 turned to look at the crowd for a mo- ment in order to see on whom! side their sympathy would assert itself, but the expression at this time was mainly one of eager curiosity and excitement. But imagine my unmeasured surprise when T saw a side door open and Vinton El- liott appear overlooking the scene; with a white, appalled face. But all were too intent on the scene before them to note his entrance, for with a voice that trembled, yet with dignity, Mrs. Elliott lia4 commenced speaking semblance of a man, and we give you the credit of possessing the heart of one.

She got Iii in to bed, and he fell into a heavy stupor. As she returned to me in the dining-room, where there was a fire, I said: \ I will not leave you to-night,\ ; She thanked me by a silent pressure of my hand, and we sat down to watch together as before, but with the awful certainty of evil instead of its expec- tation. At last she asked suddenly: 44 Where is this Harry Hills ?\ I told her. Morning came, after a seeming age. We had cleansed and righted the parlor aa well as we could. The oooa got breakfast as usual, anil was told that her master was sick. I tried to antici- pate Mrs. Elliott in obtaining the morn- ing paper from the iiewsitoy, but she was too quick for me. With dilating eyes sho scanned tho columns, then, with a cry of anguish, dropped the paper. i \Oh leave it alone!\ I cried, \ You've had more than youenn endure now.\ right here without my consent You all make yeurselves liable to indictment for trespass. Besides, it a'n't the right thing for ladies to go tramping through the streets followed by a rabble, and meddling with things that don't con- cern them* Jt isn't lady-like. It's fanat—\ 44 Hnsli ! in a word answer me !\ cried Mrs. Elliott, in a voice that went to every heart like an arrow. Will you not promise me never to sell my hus- band another glass of liquor ?\ 44 No,\ shouted HiH, \nor any other woman's husband. I will promise to sell to all who'll pay. There was a sudden hoarse murmur- ing on the part of the crowd, but in a moment it was hushed, for the insulted wife faaKl knoll on the floor before the bar. We all dropped on our knees around her. 44 O Ood,\ she pleaded, in a tone that must have thrilled the very soul of the most hardoned present, \ shall human love and human anguish plead before thee in vain ? Art thou not a God of mercy, and yet cruelty is crushing us ? Art tliou not a God of justice, and yet we are being robbed of all that makes life endurable? Thou dids,t stop the mouth of lions. Hero in our Christian land are human hearts more savage. Thou didst preserve in the furnace seven times heated. Beneath our church spires burns the more remorseless and destructive passion of avarice. Wilt thou not break the stony heart before us, and bend his stubborn will to thine? Thou knowest that because of our love we could die for our dear ones, but we believe that thou dost love them even more. Wilt thou not in mercy change their destroyers into men ? Wilt thou not take this awful soul-killing tempta- tion out of their path ? We plead in the name of thy dear Son, who gave hife life for us all. Amen.\ Strange to say, there was a respon- sive \Amen\ from the rough crowd, and as 1 looked around on rising, I saw many eyes wet with tears where I had expected only looks of scorn. I had not yet met 31 r. Elliott's eye, though he re- mained standing spell-bound in the doorway still. But the tragedy went forward without a moment's pause. Mrs. Elliott took a step nearer the rnmseller, pointed up with an impressive gesture, and bent upon him a look such as I never raw on a woman's face before. Hill tried to meet her eye, but could not, for he sank guiltily and confusedly to the floor. 44 Mr. nill,\ she said in a low, gentle voice, \once more 1 ask you, I beseech you, answer me a s you will wish vou had answered when we stand before His judgment seat, will you not cease this dreadful business ?\' A death-like hush followed. Hill was evidently cowed and ovcrcomo, and after a moment mumbled out: 44 It's not in man to resist yon, madam; 1 promise f will not sell any more to your husband, though he will B^it^wwheiftjt he wants ii. I think without sending his wife around a pray- ing and beseeching for him.\ _ \ (live way there,\ cried Vinton El- liott's voice, and he sprang down from the raised doorstep and struggled to wards his wife. In a clear, ringing tone, Elliott said: 44 Mr. Hill, you have spoken some true words this morning. This is no place this is no action for ladies like my wife and other honored women that I see here; and believe me, they would not be here if you and 1, nnd our like, had not driven them to desperation. God.knows 3011 have enough to answer for, but you only are not to blame. You can't force us to throw away our money and manhood here. 1 wonder that my wife did not leave me forever iu utter disgust. Instead of that, with woman's faithfulness, she comes here to plead for my safety. But sho will never be called to pass through such an ordeal again. I thought 1 could drink in mod- eration at your bar, as 1 had for years, but you have taught mo better, sir. Vinton Elliott can stand alone, but he J!

A .Disgraceful Reeae In rhicaro. In accordance with the arrangements made at the ladies' temperance meetings, in Chicago, some 500 ladies met at the Clark street Methodist Church, and after appointing a committee of 100 of their number to present a memorial to the City Council agaiust the repeal of the Sunday saloon closing ordinance, devoted the afternoon to prayer for the success of their mission. At 7 o'clock p. M. a delegation started for the City Hall bearing a memorial signed by lfv 000 women. They were attended in their march by a constantly increasing crowd of idle men and boys, and by the time they had reached the doors of the Council Chamber so great a mob had gathered as to render the services of a large force of police necessary to secure their entrance. Arriving in the Council Chamber, the delegation were courteously re- ceived, and the leader of the delega- tion was, on motion, after some debate 4 , allowed to present the petition, which she did in a few words. The petition was then read by the Cl*rk of the Coun- cil and placed on file. The Council then proceeded to the consideration of a special order, which was an ordinance S ermitting saloons to be kept open on undays. A very warm debate en- sued, in which most of the People's Party Aldermen claimed that they were bound to eote for the ordinance, as it was one of the issues upon which they were elected. A vote was taken, and the ordinance was adopted by a vote of 22 to 14. The defeated ladies were then escorted from the hall to the outer door by the police, who with the ut- most difficulty kept back the howling mob who still remuitied on tnt* outside. Beaching the street, the ladies, all of whom were of the highest respecta- bility, and including the wives of some of the best citizens, were assailed with yells and howls from one of the vilest crowds that could bo raked from the gutters of the city. The mob pressed so closely upon the little band that, had they not been protected by a few men among the crowd, there is little doubt that violence would have been offered them. Indeed one brute did trip one of the ladies, but sluuk away before tho flat of a gentleman standing near. The mob followed the ladies back the entire distance to the church, yelling every moment like Comanchos, and presenting one of the most disgraceful scenes ever witnessed iu the city. After the committee had entered the church and briefly reported the failure of their mission, those present sj>cut some time in prayer and then dispersed. A Volcano In North Carolina.
