Mr.'Anclrews was engaged in ovarionis
mercantite speculetions, and everything
in which he engaged prospered! with him
beyond his most sanguine expeatations,
so that, in asfew years he became one of ,
the wealthiest Men in the vicinity. His
family:Were also rettarkable for beauty
and intelleet. He himself was frugal-, and
attentive to buainess, and. his characiter
for integrity in all his dealings was high-,

were kind • and charitable to the poor,

the writer cannot sey, but suddenly the
first rods! shock fell in: on thein. Their
youngest son, a ,boy of about twelve
years old, went out with two other lads
- to sail in the small pleasureeboat kept by
Mr. Andrews,: on the beautiful,. river
which ranrn the tear of their premises,
and the boat not:being properly manag-

all three were thrown .ont. The accident

and laid. side bysidei-ondAhre deep sor-

Christian resignation, little imagining that

were teem to follow. One of their (laugh:,

pulled the trigger, and she fell dead on
'the spot. He threw tlown ithe piece, ran
tO'amaaistrate and 'procraimed himself a
murderer, and all his friends feared that
his reason would- desert him, ancl the
unhappy parents were not much better.
But worse trials were speedily to follow.
Mr. Andrews bad- a numbet- of Men em-
ployed in weaving tickinge and several
pieces of this article tv-ere always storetl
on the' seconl floor of hie large store-
house, fiend his elder soh, who for some
time past had given hiniserfto drink and,
low company, ftequently found means of
slipping the catch of one of the windows,
and by placing ea ladder, withlhe help
of his,. companions, would steal one or
more pie -Cos at a time, 'which Were -dis-
pesecl of to, -enable him 'to gratify his
depraved tate for drink and gambling.
The Idthert after some' time, came to
find. out these and other equally bad acts,
and remonstrated With his reckress son,
who, instead ofShowing remorse, declar-
ed he would give no satisfaction for his,
conduct.
High words Milowed, and the dissipat-
ed youth, after making another haul on
his father's' prepetty, disapPearedi and.
nothing was heard of him -for some
months. At length -a letter was received
from him from Dublin; stating thatin a
fit of intoxication' he, had enlisted as in
artillety soldier, that the strict disci-
pline, and severe exercise at the big
guns had -completely cured,' him of his
wildness, and- he wound up by sing
that:if his father would not purchase bisL
discharge he would put an end to his
life. Iti-was a difficult.matter to obtain
his discharge, but it was accomplished,
and he returned home, and in a short
time acted ten times worse 'than before.
As was stated, Mr. Andrews was engage
ed in the: manufacture of ticking, this he
sold by wholesale t� merchants in various
towns in the couatry, and he, would go
at stated times to receive payment, and
as, in those days the roads were' not
such as we have now, he; hie many
others, always rode on horseback. He
had taken one of these periodicalejour-
neys, and was returning heme with -his
saddle -bag well filled., when suddenly, in
a lonesome pa$. of the roed,, a disgaisecl
map, With his face blackened, jumped
oVer the'ditch, seizeci the bridle nut a
pistol to his breast and demanaecl his
money ca. his life: Jest at that moment
two gentlemen on horseback came in
sight, and the robber'. cousulted his own
safety by a hasty flightacrose the fields,
closely pursued' by the thiee gentlemen.
But on his j urnping over a ditch the skirt
of his coat flew up, and Mr. Andrews
recognized the summer coat ot his disso-
lute son. Without, however, tellipg the
others of his discovery, he tried tit clis-
su.ade them from further pursuit, stating
that as he had received no injury he
would let the wretch go. But the gen-
tletnen still pursued until the would-be
robber .was fairly, captueed, when to
their astonishment -they also recognized
him, and notwithstanding the remone
strances of the almost broken-hearted
father, he was brought to the _village
bound with thongs. A Meeting cd the
neighlYoring gentry was immediately
called, at which it was agreed that otit
of respect for the unhappy father, the
son should not be prosecuted, provided
he would leave the country. This he
agreed to do, and being furnished with a
cheque on an American bank for a large
amount, he was guarded by constables
-until he sailed. For years after this all
;traces of him were lost till a gentleman
Who was traveling in America recognized
in a ragged, bloated sot, who was break-
ing stones on the highway, the ouce
handsome and talented James Andrews,
but he watenever heard. of after.
The outrageous conduct ot his eldest
Son may be supposed to be a terrible
trial to both parents, apd the health of
the old gentlema,nrapidly declined. His
troubles were intensified by the fact that
his two remaining: sons were following
their brother's exaraple in the downward
course. He remonstrated with them, he
begged, he entreated, and so far prevail-
ed with Edward. as to induce him to pre-
tend reformation, during which time he
won the affections an an amiable 3- oung
lady, who Married him with the full
consent of her friends. But no sooner
had he received her fOrtune than the
sleeping devil within hint was wakened
up, and he gave himself up to every
-
vibe. And .b'efore two years had passed
Sthue the marriage, during which tune
he had ran through nearly all he possess-
ed, she was obliged. to leave him, and
with her infant boy seek a home among
strangers. His evil courses were sud-
denly stopped, shortly after, by being
thrown from his horse whilst in a state
of intoxication, which resulted iii hiaf
death. The poor father, whose troubles
increased with every fresh development
of vice by his SODS, could stand it no
longer, but almost immediately died of a
broken heart, leaving a lonely and dis
censola.ta widow to witness the degreda,-
tion of her only remaining son. For
this she had not long to wait, •for having
by his father's death become possess-
ed of a fine fortune, he at one took up
his quarters in a vile gembliPg house,
and became almost idiotic from continu-
ed intoxication, and consequently, an
easy victim to the sharpers wh o preyed on
him. TheAteeper of the groggery, see -
that seine of his fine property
remained, resolved to secure it for him,
self, which he did, by inducing him to
raarry his danghter, a rather -well look-
inab, bold, ignorant girl, and making over
to him for her use, nearly' all that re-
mained. When his poor widowed
mother heard of this last WA, it seemed
as if her cup orsuffering were tilled. She
died while sittiiig at her dinner table,
'and within twelve , months of her hus-
band's death was laid by his side.
But a vety short time after William's
marriage sufficed td run enough the re-
mainder Of his property, and then he
was literally turned out of doors by his
wife 'and her unfeeling father. He was
now sunk to the lotvest state of degrada-
tion, with an insatiable thirst for drink
without the means of its gratification. He
wandered from sone grog shop to anoth-
er, glad to receive a glasanf liquor or a
shilling from seine who had helped to
leari to his ruin. At length, after he
had' &dimity suffered for the want of
food, and was glad to wear 'a cast-off ar-
ticle' giten to him ter charity, some
gentlemen who still etespected his fath-
er's memory prOposed to him to leave
the country, thinking if be were reneev'T
ed to strange scenes he would.: do better.
He accepted the proposal, andthaving
been well clothed, his passage paid, and
a respectable sum placed at his disposal,
he too embarked for America, and itas
never heard of afterwards.
Of this Jaime prosperous_ and happy
family none now remnins but the daugh-
ter, who afterwards was .married to the
young lawyer, .and now occupies a res-
pectable position in society. •
Thus Was squandered in a tew years,
by inteniperence and vice, an ample for-
tune which took a lifetime of industry
and economy to. realize, but infinitely
worse were the broken_ hearts of the par-
ents: and the wreck and ram of three
bright and talentecl yoeng men, who but
for the demon intemperance: *would,
probably, to -day be the fathers of happy
families, and holding a high position in
society.
- -The contemplation of such scenes is
not pleasant to a sensitive mind, and the
sketch is given in. the hope that some
thoughtless, youth may be warned by the
fate of these three young men to shun
the intoxicating cup.

There are but, few preparations of inedieine
-which hove withsttiod the impartial jitdgment pf
the people for any great length of thne. One'bf
these is Thomas' EnEcritio 01 e, purely a prepar-
ation of six of some of the best oils that are known,
each one postessing virtue of ite own. Scientific
physicians know that medicines may be formed of
several ingredients in certain fixed proportions of
greater power, and produeing effecte which could
never result from the use of any one of them, or in
different combinations. Thus itt the preparation
of thie oil a chemical change takes place, forming
a eoitreounawhieh (route 'riot by any possibility be
made from' any other combination or proportions
of the same higredients, or any other 'egret-tient%
and entirely different from anything ever before
made, one which produces the naostaatonishing re-
sult% and having a wider range of applieation
than liny medicine ever before discovered. It con-
tains no alcohol or other volatile liquidin• conse-
quently 10808 nothing by evaporation. Wherever
applieC1 yon get the benefit of every chop; whereas
with other preparations nearly all the alcohol is
lost in that wily, and you get only ',he small quan-
