Effects of Temperaacs..-We entered day cottage in the suburbs of Cork. A woman was knit ting stockings at the door It as neat and csm- torable any in the most prosperous district of Eng

 land. We tell her brief story in her own words, as nearly as we can recall them. ''My husband is a wheelrlglu, and always earned his guinea week He was good workman, and neither bad man nor bad husband; but the love for the drink strong

 in him, and t wasn't often he brought tue home more | than five shiings, out of his one pound one, on Saturday night; and it broke my heart to see the children too ragged to send schoo to say nothing of the starved look they had out of the little could give them. Well, God be praised he took the pledge; and the next Saturday he laid twenty-one shilmgs upon the chair you sit upon. Ohi didn't give thanks on pended knees that nght Still was fearful Il wouldn't last. l spent more than the live shil- ings was used to, saying to mysel may be the ms- ney wlll be wanted than it is now. We'll, the uexl week he brought the same, and the next, and the next until eight weeks passed; and glory be to God, there change for the bad in my husband , and all the while he asked me why there was nothing better for him, out of his hard earnings. So l felt there fear for him; and the ninth week, when he came home to me, had this table bought, and these six chairs-one for himself, four for the children, and one for myself. And was dressed in a new gown, and the children all had new clothes and shoes and stockings, and upon his chair put bran sut, and upon, his plate put the ! bill and resale for them all-just the eight sixteen shilings they that I'd saved out of his wages, not knowing what might happen, and that always before went for drink. And he cried, good lady and good gentleman he cried like baby but twas with thanks to God. And now, where's the healthier man than m, husband in the county of Cork, or happier wife than myself, dacenter better fed children than own liur?" IL IS most unlikely that such a family will again slnk into poverty and wretchedness. We might add largely to these cases, not only from what we have heard, but what we have seen.-Halrs | Ireland.
