THE BOTTLE. •
"I believe I'll have a glass of some-
thing comfortable," said Tom Barnaby.
Tom Barnaiby was not a rnember of
any temperance society whatever, and
had no dislike to the taste of liquor.
Not that he was a drinking man. Oh,
dear, no ! Neverwas drunk in his life;
never even slightly overcome by liquor.
But still—well, still every now and thea
8, nice glass of something comfortable
struck Tom in a pleasant light, and he
generally took it when it did.
To -night it was cold and chilly and
gloomy, and the wind rattled the shut-
ters, and crooned down the chimney,
and made a banshee of itself along the
street; and Tom, who was not very
fond of reading, could not lose himself
in book or magazine, and there was no
one to talk to, and the resolution above
recorded seemed to be the most natural
thing in the world. "A glass of some-
thing comfortable," said Tom, "and. a
biscuit, and then I'll turn
Then Tom went to the closet to look
for a vessel in which to bring the neces-
sary lictuor for the comfortable some:
thing from the corner store, and spied
on an upper shelf a green bottle, with a
fat body and a long neck, which had
nothing in it, and smelt of nothing,
and. he set it upon the table, while he
stirred the fire and put the kettle on,
that everything might be ready on his
return.
Mrs. Tom was absent from hom'
e and
Tom was keeping house for himself. He
was on his knees before the stove, rak-
ing it, when he heard a groan. It was
a, faint, far-awa,y, sounding -groan ; but
it had auch a ghostly sound that he
started.
"
What's that?" he cried; and some-
thing answered:
"Only me."
And jumping to his feet, Tom -Barna-
by stood staring about; for there was
nothing in the room that ought to have
had a voice but himself—not even a kit -
tee or a canary bird.
"Who is me ?" cried. Tom.
Tom ought to know,"
voice.
And this time Tom saw it camm
e fro
the green bottle.
" Hanged if. it isn't in the bottle !"
said Tom. "is it spirits, or what ?"
And the bottle answered:
Yes, worse luck. It is spirits. Bad
spirits, too. Gin, rum and brandy—
whisky and alcohol."
Oh, that kind !" said Tom.
" Yes," said the bottle, "Five devils.
I've been possessed by them all Years
and years they led me such a life that
I wished I was smashed; years and
years until your wife got me, a.nd pat
blesaed vinegar in me. Nice, sharp,
respectable vinegar, that never did.
worse than give some poor cabbage -eater
the colic. And I thought I should end
my days a decent vinegar bottle, and
here I am—going to have one of the
devils back, I know. Oh, whet did that
dear woman go away for? Why did
she go?"
Tom, who had grown used to the phe-
nomenon of a talking bottle, and did not
mind it at all by this time, nodded his
head sagely.
"Right there," he said. "It's exceed-
ingly uncomfortable to have wife away,
but you are very foolish to talk as you,
do. What harm is there in a moderate
drink ? All you hold wouldn't harm a
fly. You've been listening to teetotal-
lers."
"1 hs.ven't been listening to anybody,"
said the bottle. "I've formed my own
conclusions. There was •a time when I
thought as you do, It was when I was
a brand new bottle, with a gilt label,
Best Holland Gin,' on me and my own-
er, the liquor dealer, took me out of my
case and handed me over to Jack Bark-
er, who had just finished painting the
store.
" Here, Jack,' says he, this will
help you keep Christmas.'
" Thank ye,' said Jack ; and off I
went under his arm.
And there, in a bright little room,
with a pretty wife and a nice old grand-
father, and two cunning little babies
lookimg on, he opened me.
" What a nice smell !' said she—the
pretty wife.
"And then he made some stuff with
lemon and sugar, aud they all drank
some; 'and the babies looked at the
light shining through my green sides
and the gilt label on me. And the -old
grandfather said the drink had gone to
his head, and he should have to be
carried up stairs, and they all laughed
at that, because it was such a good
joke.
"1 liked myself then, and what was
in inc.
" Befere I was empty the first time I
felt pleased to be such a favorite as I
was.
"Ah, dear, I was filled up again, and
again and again; and after a while I
began to see things changing about me.
The wife's face was not so bright; the
old grandfather never laughed; the
babies' toes were out ;: and. one day Tack
staggered in, took me up, drank the last
drop from me, and tumbled into a chair.
The wife began to cry.
" Oh, Jack !" says she. Oh, Jack!
how .1 hate that dreadful bottle! We
were so happy before it came into the
house.'
" She blamed me, but I knew it was
the evil spirit in me that she meant.
You've lost your place, Jack,' says
she. Everything has changed. You
don't love me any mare. You don't
care for the children. It's all that
bottle.'
"But Jack was too tipsy to care what
she said. He staggered over to the table,
took nte by the neck, and carried me to
a liquor store. There they put another
devil into me. That one drovethe fur-
niture out of the house; bit by bit it
was pawned.
" Then they left the house itself and
. were in a cellar somewhere. She took
'
in washing some of the money she
earned weafor more evil spirits to fill
me.
" Didn't I loathe myself ? One night
I sat on the table and saw the old
grandfather lying dead and Jack drunk
an the floor at the foot of the bed:
Didn't I loathe myself? I tried to top-
ple off, but I couldn't manage it. • If
ever bottle desired to smash itself, I did.
But it was no use. Happy bottles, beau-
tiful cut -glass cologne bottles, innocent
water bottles have been broken when
they most desired to last, no doubt;
but I, who had become a dwelling place
for devils, I lasted.
" They carried the old grandfather
away, and his poor daughter got a black
dress somehow. One night Jack went
sneaking out of the house with a bundle
under one arm and me under the other.
said the
The bundle was his wife's mourning
dress for her father. •He took it to a
pawn -shop and pawned it for enongh to
fill me twice. The poor little woman
never had a decent dreiu again.
" She was in raga. , She was hungry.
I've seen Jack clutch her hand and
wrench. the money she earned for her
children's bread from it, and then go off
with me. Think of it! I had to aid
and abet him, and hear her say things
about me that were very natural, seeing
she did not know how I hated the
devils that lived in me, but that was
hard to bear. But he fell down stairs
with nee in his pocket, and broke his
head, and didn't break me. He hit me
against things to their injury, not mine.
I must have a guardian devil, I lasted
80.
One day— it wasauch a bitter day,
ice and snow and sleet everyw re—.
just five years from the Che stales
I'd been made a present to Jack, he
stood, ragged and dirty, at a bar -room
stove, with me in his pocket—my neck
sticking out. Up came the proprietor.
" Now, Jack Barker,' says he? why
don't you go home.?'
"He was ashamed to have him there,
you flee, a ragged creature with his toes
out, and a black eye and a broken nose.
He used to be called Handsome Jack
Berkey before he took to filling me.
Think of that. .
"Now he looked up with El miserable
abject whine.
" "Go home with an empty bottle on a
Christmas Eve!',says he. You didn't
use to say go home when I ceme here
with full pockets, Mr. Jones.'
"'Well, no, I didn't,' said the man;
'and it would have been better if I
had. I'll fill your bottle for you, Jack
Barker.'
He filled it—goodness knows with
what—and the poor wretch staggered
home. Oh, the wretched cellar—the
miserable straw bed in the corner; the
wife lying sick upon it. I remember
them so well.
"She was very sick, and there was a
little baby beside Ur. Just think of
another baby there !
"'Happy Christmas !" said he, as he
staggered in. Happy Christmas, old
girl !
"Happy !' said she. 'Oh, this dread-
ful day! That bottle came to us first on
Christmas.'
It takes so little to put a drunken
man in a rage. He answered her with
an oath.
"Anybody would think I was drunk
to hear you talk,' said he. And the poor
woman answered:
"'Oh, good Heaven ! are you ever
sober ! Oh, Jack! Jack V

"And then he flew at her. He took
me by the neck, and beat her over the
head with me. The cork fell out,'
and the liquor poured over her breast,.
and over the face , of the,little baby
lying upon it. It mingled with her
blood.
" At first she screamed. Then she
lay still. Her face grew white. I knew
I was a murderer. Oh let me break
I cried. Let me be broken into frag-
ments!? .But her fair flesh was mashed
to pulp, her delicate bones- broken, and.
I was sound as ever, when Jack, led by
Heaven knows what mad fancy, left his
victim and staggered into the street
again. The snow was tailing. The air
was white with it. He staggered along,
muttering to himself. At last he came
to a wharf, and stumbled across it. I
believe a boat lay there on which he had
been once before, and where they had
given him drink.
'Sea -Bird, ahoy F cried he.
hullo! Sea -Bird, ahoy!'
"Nobody answered him.
I'm coming aboard,' he muttered—
'I'm corning aboard. 1 sha'n't stay at
home to be preached to. I'm my own
master.'
"Then he took one step more. Splash
--crash. He was through the thin ice,
under the water.
"'Thank heaven,' said I, 'my miIser-
able career is ended.' '
" Then I turned cold as ice myself,
and there was a roaring in my neck.
"Next thing I knew it was broad
daylight, and I was floating on. the
water.
" There's a bottle,' said some one.
It was a bare -legged boy. He stooped
over the side of a boat, and caught
me.
"'There was a man.drowned here
last night,' said he to another boy at his
side.
"'Did you see him?' said this one.
4 " Yes, said the first. was
drunk, end killed his wife. They've
got an inquest on her, down in the
cellar over there. 1 say I'm going
to sell this bottle to Bill, the junk
man.'
"So I was saved, and much against
my -will stood in the junk -show win-
dow for a week The water had wash-
ed the blood off me. Iliad no smell
of liquor left, and along comes your
wife.
"'What a nice, Hat bottle!' says she
just what I went. How much for
it?'
" And Billy charged her four cents,
and home she brought me.
" 'My career of vice has begun again,'
said I. And I expected nothing else;
but; bless the dear soul, she put vinegar
in me—nice, sour, innocent, respectable
vinegar—and I've been a good rttermed
bottle ever since. And now you—you
—you—her husband, are going to put
the devilish spirits into me again.
FoilHeaven's sake, break me first! I
don't want to destroy another house -
heti."
You shan't," said Tom Barnaby.
"Here you go back on your shelf. I
leave you to innocen e and viaegar ;
and I think I'll make a cup of strong
coffee."
Right," said the bcittIe.
And so the bottle stands still besiele
the cruet on Mrs. Bernaby's dresser;
and Tom Barnaby is stilll a sober man.
