THE DRUNKARD'S SERMON.
As Mars peeled aeskease to • Regent that
be roe ler ■te erne with a speech. .
From the thew 0 leans 1'ic•yus..
It was growing late. The tide of human
try Neat earlier to the eventeg had ebbed and
flowed through the streets of the great oily
bad swept onward, leaving the strange and
almost appalling sense of desolation that
gimmes when the noises of the town are
Imbed. The electric, light flared unnoticed
thsweornen ; the *trees can peeved ab
further Intervals ; now and then • night
worker hurried by, bis footsteps ringing out
loud and clear is the stillness. In front of
• saloon whose lights shone out bright and
ruddy soros' the pavement stood • tramp,
u nshorn, ragged, dirty, disgusting. He
watobed with envious eyes the men who
passed in and out through the swinging
dour', acid then he turned his . yes toward
two young 1. -Howe in evening dress who
were Doming down the street toward him
They bed been drinking deeply, and they
stopped before the saloon door acid looked
oariously at him.
" By Jove," said one, " think of having •
thirst like that mad not the price of an ex-
ttngatsher in your pocket I Beate old Tan -
tale, all to pieces, eh! L•gaor, liquor,
everywhere, and not • drop to drink."
He ran his hand in his pocket and prof
feted the tramp • dime, but before it could
be accepted, the other young fellow inter-
posed.
nterposed.
" Say,'' he said, " let's do theood Sam-
aritan and set Hobo up to a good drink."
The other hilariously consented, and the
tramp slouched into the saloon at the heels
of the two gilded youths. The barkeeper
set before them glues of liquors, and with
• heed that shook the tramp poured out •
brimming glass and raised is to bis lips.
"Stop, ' cried osis of the young men
drmakenly ; " make us a speech. It is poor
dgmer that done t loosen • man's
telegen„
The tramp hastily swallowed down the
drink, and as the doh liquor nursed
Wealth his blood he straightened himself
sad stood before them With • grace red dig•
laity that all his rags and dirt could sot eb-
es.re.
" Oeatlesen," be said, '• I look *eight
at you and at myself, and It seems to me 1
look upon the picture of my lost manhood.
Tutu bloated fans was once as young and
handsome se yours. This shambling figure
once walked as proudly as yours, a man to •
world of men. I, too, 000e had • home, and
friends and position. I had a wife as tieauti•
Int as an artist's dream, and I dropped the
priceless pearl of her honor and respect in
the wino cup, and Cleopatra Irk•, sew it
d' lye, and quaffed it down in the brim•
draught. I had children as sweet and
lovely as the flowers of spring, and 1 saw
them fade and die under the hitghting aurae
of • drunken father. I had a home where
love lit the flame upon the altar and minis.
tared before It, sod I peaeme'Che'1neky ere,
and darkoen and desolation reigned in Be
stead. 1 had aspirations and amb.tioss
that soared as high as the moroing star, bnd
I broke and bruised their beautiful wing,,
and, at last, strangled them that I might be
tortured by their cries no more. Today I
am • heeh..i miteeoba .wife, s.Iatim -.h-
out • ohild, a tramp with no home to call
his own, • man in whom every good impulse
is dead. All, all swallowed up in the mael-
strom of drink."
The tramp teased speaking. The glass
fell from his nerveless fingers and shivered
into a thousand fragments on the door.
The swinging doors pushed open and shut to
again, and when the little group stout the
bar looked up the tramp was gone.
