Thrilling Sketch T never shall forget the ment of the temperance reformation a child at the time of some ten years of ago Our home had every comfort my kind parent idolized trie their child Wine was often on the table and both my father and mother frequently gave it to me in the bottom of the morning glass One Sunday at church a startling announcement was made to our ple I knew nothing of its purport but there was very much whispering among the men The pastor said that on the next evening there would be a meeting and an address upon the evils of intemperance in the use of He expressed himself ignorant of the object of the meeting and could not say what course it would be best to pursue in the matter The subject of the meeting came up at our table after the service I questioned my father it with all the eagerness of a child The whisper and which bad been dropped in my hearing clothed whole affair with to me and I was all eagerness to learn the strange thing My lather said it

passed across the green to the church I well remember the as they came to wonder what bind of an exhibition to come off In the corner was the er and around him a number of friends For an boar the people of tke place continued to com in until there wata fair house full All were curiously watching the door and wondering what would pear next The stole in and took his Mat behind a pillar under the gallery M if of tin of being the church at all Two CMB came i and upon him and leaned forward as to catch every word As pastor took his sent the man his tall form towering in its symmetry and his chest swelling as he inhaled his breath through his To me at that time there was something awe ring and grand in the appearance of tho old man as be stood with his full eye upon the audience his teeth shut hard and a silence that of death the church He bent his gaze upon the keeper and th at pe eye lingered and for scar grew red upon his forehead and the heavy eyes tered and glowed like a The before that searching glance and I felt relief when the old man withdrew his For a moment morn he los in thought and then in low and tones commenced There was a depth in that voice a thrilling swoet ness and pathos which every heart in the church before the first period had been rounded My er's attention had become fixed upon the eye of the speaker with an inter- eisl which I never before had
