"Only adrunk," with hia garments *11 Wittered, Telling a story of want and despair; Over bit temples the rude winds have scattered Long, straggling locks of thin, silvery hair; Bleeding and bruised by his fall where they found him. Face like the hue of ashes * i en eold, Helpless he lies in the strong arms around him, Homeless and friendless, and wretched and old, "Only a drunk;" yet the mother who bore him Smiled as she potted his fair, dimple! cheek; Kissed him so tenderly, bent fondly o'er him. Watching his slumbers, not daring to speak; Called him her darling, her i>et and her neaniy* Praised his red lips and his bright, roguish eyes, Thinking of bim mado a pleasure of duty- Each days return brought to her elad suprisc. "Only a drunk;" yet a father's heart bounded, Looking on him as his pride and his Jot; Listened to hear while the praises were sounded Of the light hearted and beautiful boy; While by bis side he would sit oft and ponder, Picture the manhood of such a fair youth, Sever once thinking how >oou lie might wander Far from the pathway of virtue aud truth. "Only a drunkyet society gave him Honor, position, and riches in store; E'en as he fell stretched a hand out to save him, Gave and forgave much, yet still Would give more. Friends be had owe, tho' by all now forsaken; Home, credit, influence, power for good— Gone now, like leaves which the chill winds have etutkon; Only* wreck where a palace once stood. Gone is the blush of his childhood's fair morntig,Gone all the brightuess of youth's glowing day- Gone past redemption and gone without warningManhood's proua strength,and left oivly decay- Out from tho arm! of tho dear ones still pleading.I.ow with the brute in the mire he's sunk- Food for the jest, as still downwards he's speeding.Xot e'en a man now, he's "only a drunk." "Only a drunk;" yet the savior so holy, That which was lost came to seek and to save; Wept o'er the prodigal, pitied the lowly, Kexcued the thief though in sight of the grave; Told of the Joy which the bright angelscherish, As they look down from the mansions above, When they beheld one Just ready to perish Saved by thegrnxpof ail infinite love. "Only adrunk;" but there's hope while life lingers. Up to his rescue, still, still there is time; Wave br.nds of love with kind Charity's lingers, Hold him to heaven with faith that's sub lime. See from on high how the savior is reaching Down to redeem him from sin's dreadful taint; Mercy and grace for bun still are beseeching, Sinner he has been, but may be a saint. LEWISTON. Tho lady spoken of in a marriage notice in tho last number of the Nkvvm, ns Kittio A. Graves, was Miss Nettie A. Grave*. The I lady was known to many of your readers in this, and your own town.

When the game was fluisbed he went to get tho (Kittle, and wa» surprised to iind that it had disappeared. It has since leaked out that it was stolen by several young boy rowdies who are in the habit of gatlieiing around these places. There should bo s law passed ; lu prevent boys of such an ago frequenting ! plaeos of this kind. It may Le truly said of these young scoundrels that they are like boardlng-bouso spring chickens—so young, and yet so tough. One day laßt week a certain man in town ! tried to bo sharp at tho expense of ono of tho steamboats. He ha I several baskets of plums which be tried to gut. aboard the boat without being entered at tho wharf on tho bill of freight. When tho purser came around collecting tho tickets.

"Only adrunk" with hia garments *11 Wittered, Telling a story of want and despair; Over bit temples the rude winds have scattered Long, straggling locks of thin, silvery hair; Bleeding and bruised by his fall where they found him. Face like the hue of ashes * i en eold, Helpless he lies in the strong arms around him, Homeless and friendless, and wretched and old, "Only a drunk;" yet the mother who bore him Smiled as she potted his fair, dimple! cheek; Kissed him so tenderly, bent fondly o'er him. Watching his slumbers, not daring to speak; Called him her darling, her i>et and her neaniy* Praised his red lips and his bright, roguish eyes, Thinking of bim mado a pleasure of duty- Each days return brought to her elad suprisc. "Only a drunk;" yet a father's heart bounded, Looking on him as his pride and his Jot; Listened to hear while the praises were sounded Of the light hearted and beautiful boy; While by bis side he would sit oft and ponder, Picture the manhood of such a fair youth, Sever once thinking how >oou lie might wander Far from the pathway of virtue aud truth. "Only a drunkyet society gave him Honor, position, and riches in store; E'en as he fell stretched a hand out to save him, Gave and forgave much, yet still Would give more. Friends be had owe, tho' by all now forsaken; Home, credit, influence, power for good— Gone now, like leaves which the chill winds have etutkon; Only* wreck where a palace once stood. Gone is the blush of his childhood's fair morntig,Gone all the brightuess of youth's glowing day- Gone past redemption and gone without warningManhood's proua strength,and left oivly decay- Out from tho arm! of tho dear ones still pleading.I.ow with the brute in the mire he's sunk- Food for the jest, as still downwards he's speeding.Xot e'en a man now, he's "only a drunk." "Only a drunk;" yet the savior so holy, That which was lost came to seek and to save; Wept o'er the prodigal, pitied the lowly, Kexcued the thief though in sight of the grave; Told of the Joy which the bright angelscherish, As they look down from the mansions above, When they beheld one Just ready to perish Saved by thegrnxpof ail infinite love. "Only adrunk;" but there's hope while life lingers. Up to his rescue, still, still there is time; Wave br.nds of love with kind Charity's lingers, Hold him to heaven with faith that's sub lime. See from on high how the savior is reaching Down to redeem him from sin's dreadful taint; Mercy and grace for bun still are beseeching, Sinner he has been, but may be a saint. LEWISTON.
