DEVOTED TO THE COAL INTERESTS, POLITICS, NEWS, LITERATURE, AGRICULTURE, AND GENERAL INTELLIGENCE. Livery. Business Cards. Real Estate. For the Gtttrre. of the deTil, who like a roaring lion wishes to devour all those dear ones whose hearts God has touched. Had our young friend united with the dhurch at that time, he might have been spared the reproach which afterward came upon him, for the bosom of the church is a great protection to ail young persons. We shall see however tiiat height, nor depth, nor principalities, powers, death, lite, things present, things to come, nor any other thing could separate him from the love of God. His drunken father of course assisted him very little In any good thing. Wnen not under the influence of grog, he was a kind parent, but when intoxicated, one of the worst of men. He kept John steadily at school, for he was very proud of him, and had no desire to see him fail of becoming the right sort of a man. He said frequently, "I will do all I can for Johnny; he is a line boy, and I hope ho will never follow hi* father's evil example in becoming a drunkard."like John at the time he went to seathey seemed none the less like her children. She could not wait for any one of them, and even if that were possible no one could fill the place of that Dr. Henry, whose body had been for so many years mouldering in tiie grave. As may be inferred from hints thrown outinihe last chapter, John became engaged to Lizzie. ISlie could not believe, though informed of the fact by iter friends that her loverdrank to excess; but she was thoroughly convinced of the fact when one night at a parly site saw him much more than half-seas over as some persons say. Her grief was now great, and she went to Iter old friend and teacher for advice. Hergrievance being stated, Miss Light said''certainly if yon marry a drunkard you will rue it the longest day you live, but you and I have the power as Christainsand Good Templars, by the help of God, of saving John. I have wondered very much how a man pf his intelligence can disregard that solemn oath which we take upon ourselves in joining the Lodge. Bub- oh, we know nothing of his severe temptation. Let us continue to pray for him, and in dueseason we shall reap if, we faint not, and shall hide a multitude of sins, for 'prayer moves the hand which moves the world.' God alone knows the many tears that I have shed for his sake, and lie will not fail to put them in his bottle, as they have been a long time in his book. No one can appreciate the yearning which I have felt over that wandering star, except those who have felt the same." Much more was said to the same effect, and the sad young maiden was not a little comforted. As soon as John had so far recovered from the effects of his late spree as not to show them, (for a little whiskey soon made its mark upon his otherwise beautiful countenance,) he called upon his darling. We will not repeat their conversation as it is unnesessary but they agreed to part company for a while. When John found himself discarded he was tempted tocureeGod and die, for he felt that the last link which bound him to society and friends was severed, but he waa mercifully .kept from further presumptuous sins that they might not have dominion over him, and he w« not yet by his a lip. Cffe not sure that when he concluded to go to sea, he waa not like Jonah striving to flee from the presence of the Lord. How vain the attempt! The power that guidesthe sun pursued him close through every lane of life nor missed once the track. He took passage on a vessel bound from New York to India. Home friends remained at home who still remembered liiin. Prayer was made by the church for him without ceasing, as for Peter of old, and also by the members of the Lodge to which be had formerly Ikjlonged. Indeed the worthy chaplain of the order being his special friend, never failed after the usual prayers to pray silently, if notaudibly "May dear John and tiiat which causeth drunkenness, be enemies forever and may he arise and shine, his light having come and the glory of the Lord being risen upon him." His education fitted him for the position of second mate, which was given him 011 board llie ship. No one knew at first that lie imbibed too freely, but lie could not long hide the thing, and he received many severe reprimands from his superior officers. The voyage was at first very pleasant but the weather which had been of the most agreeaole kind became stormy as they neared the Island ol Trinidad. One morning as i hey were leaving that island, an old sailor (we take tlie liberlv of quoting an old poetaster.) up and spake to the captain, "I pray you put into yonder port for I fear a hurricane Last night the moon had a golden l ing and lo-nigut 110 moon \nc see." The "skipper" as he was called affected not to notice this speech, but blowing a wliiff' from his pipe declared that he had 110 intention of putting into port and steered for the opeu sea. However he marked how tlie veering winds did blow the smoke now west, now south, and thought if 1 here should be a hurricane, i caii weather the roughest gale that ever winds did blow. Atany rate I will try. The old sailor finding his advice unheeded, besought all on board to prepare lor the worst, as he saw unmistakable signs of the nearapproach of a terrible storm, such as is common in those latitudes. There was a dense fog, and much wind and raiu for two days and the captain at length gave orders to make for the nearest port with all possible speed, but it was too late. The storm came upon tlieni witli the greatest furv, and they found tiiat the ship must go down. "The boats were with the greatest difficulty lowered, but were with one exception immediately swamped with their entire living freight. The second mate exerted himself to the utmost to save the lives of the passengers and crew but not a person was saved except himself and three others who were with him in the only boat which escaped destruction. The storm at length abated. Lawyers and Justices. REAL ESTATE! BREAD CAST UPON THE WATERS 0 S. STARK, DLAMB, .

Size of lot 37Jx 100 feet, size of building 28x16 feet In the main or front part, with an addition of24x20 feet, front and back porch, a good cellar, cistern, otc When John was sixteen his father received a letter from his brother in a distant city, wishing his services in a store. John was sent for at once and for some time tilled his position admirably, making himself many friends. Miss Light found a vacant place in her schoolroom which she was sure could never be well Ailed, and as might he expected, gave him much good advice before leaving, and did not fail to send a friendly letter occasionally. He seemed fully aware of the peculiar dangers of his position, and thought that as he considered himself a Christian, he would strive to let his light shine before men. A class of neglected urchins in a missions Sabbath Schotl needed his services and he became their youthful instructor. The Good Templars needed him and he joined them. We say the Good Templars needed him for that is what he thought. He remarked to some of the brothers, "I have seen too much of evil consequences of loving the brown jug, had I no conscientious scruples on the subject to pdmit of my ever becoming a tippler, but I will do your order all tne good in my power." Alas for him that thinketh he standetb! In less than three .months from the time he joined the order that dear lau" .V'.bp believed himself proof against all temptation to tipple fell, and it took place in this wise. One very cold day when visiting with his cousins ho was persuaded to take a drink of cider. Could he have known the woe, sorrow, contentious, bubbling, wounds without cause, redness of eyes and blackness of eyes, in store for him he would have avoided that drink'. But "Heaven from all creatures hides the book of fate." He was his father's counterpart iu disposition and inherited from him all h!s tastes. The cider which he drank was pronouneed harmless, but it had long since passed that point at which it could be called the mere juice of the apple. .Soon after drinking John was seized with feelings unfelt before.— From this time his downward course was rapid. Well *pake the wisest of men. "Wine is a mocker, strong drink Is raging, and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise," The Good Templars were obliged to re-obligate John Manly, aud he lost his good name among all his acquaintances. He paid no attention to the reobllgation, but the temperauce brethren who claim that their order was instituted to assist in saving men, would not expel him, but when a second charge was brought against him granted a trial of three months. When be met with a second instance of their clemency, he made many acknowledgements, nnd with many tears promised reform. Indeed there were but few dry eves among the brothers when he made his confession, for no one knew him but to love him, and they could not bear to see his disgrace. Miss Light heard how he was conducting himself, (she was a Good Templar of course) and grieved exceedingly, more than any one could imagine.— Home members of her Lodge said to her, "Sister Light, how do you feel about your precious jewel now?" and she answered, "God will bring him hut all right some time, though I may never live see it. Praying breath was never spent in vain, aud many prayers have b«en offered for him besides mine. In that day when thesecretsofall hearts shall be made manifest it will be said of me, as one who lived long before my day, 'she hath done what she could.' " John's second re-obligation did him no good, he was expelled from the order, lost his good situation aud was sent home. Here a girl who romembered him as an old schoolmate, was frequently his companion in tides and walks. He did not scruple now to get drunk when be wished but always managed to keep straight when in Lizzie's company. We may well suppose that his conscience did not slumber all this time. In bis sober moments he despised himself and made many promises of reform, but Satan in the shape of many wicked companious continually led liim astray. Many persons nowtDaid, "There Is no help for him iu God." Christains believed that though a backslider, he still had the principle of religion In hissoul, and that he who died to save him, would in his own tlmecausehim to walk in the light of the Lord, lift up the light of his countenance upon him and give him peace, lie became dissatisfied with his work at home, and his father who had by this time signed the pledge, became also dissatisfied and he at length concluded to go to sea and try his fortune. We will see what next became of him. Pittston, April 18,1872. Ye friends of moderation who think a leformation, or moral renovation would benefit our nation: who deem intoxication with all its dissipation In every rank and station thecause of degradation, of which your observation gives daily demonstration; who see the ruination distress and desolation the open violation of moral obligation, the wretched habitation,without acacomodation, or any regulation, for common sustentation asceneofdeprivation unequalled in creation, the frequent desecration of Kabbath ordination, the crime and depredation defying legislation, the awful profanation of common conversation, the mental observation and dire infatuation with very sad gradation to maniac desperation. Ye, who with consternation behold the devastation, and utter condemnation of all Inebriation why sanction its duration, or show disapprobation of any combination for its extermination? We deem a declaration that offers no temptation by any palliation of this abomination the only sure foundation and under this per.Vcftslnrfhn'u1vSHW.aM'-ni«at'on with noxious emanation of brewers' fermentation, nor any vain libation producing stimulation. To this determination we call consideration and without hesitation invite co-operation not doubting imitation will raise your estimation and by continuation afford you consolation. For in participation with this association you may by meditation ensure the preservation of a future generation from all contamination. And, may each indication of such regeneration be the theme of exultation till its final consummation." We may nowiixk, "Who is Miss Sarah Light?" She calls herself an old maid, being between the ages of thirty and forty. Had a certain physician's life been spared she might not have remained so long in a state of single blessedness, but since his death which took place long ago, she has found no one worthy of her affections. As she expects to live and die an old maid, she has devoted herself to the training of young persons. She finds great pleasure in the task ; she calls all her pupils pet lambs, precious jewels and every other endearing name she can think of, for she considers well the responsibility of taking upon herself the training of young immortals and thinks of him who said ''Suffer little children to come unto me," and who once when ho looked upon a young man loved him. She labors and prays very much for her young friends, that her influence upon them may be of the right kind, that they may all bo blessed in this world and that which Is to come, and she receives great encouragement from the promise, "Cast thy bread upon the waters, for thou shalt find it after many days."

R. WILLIAMS, Real Estate Broker, We have stated that John Manly's mother being dead and gone, was reigning in the New Jerusalem, (for she lived a life in this world worthy of an heir of that Kingdom,) so he was deprived of the benefit of her counsels at an age when he most needed them. But God did not forget the many prayers she offered in his behalf, and when she forsook him, raised htm up many friends. Every one loved the boy, especially all Christians. Miss Light knew so well the temptations and perils to which all young men, particularly motherless ones are exposed that she prayed and labored for him truly without ceasing. He was of such a generous and yielding disposition as to be very easily led estray, and she considered how dreadful it would be if that dear young man, (for he could not always remain a boy), should be an alien from the commonwealth of Israel, a to the covenant of promise, living without hope and without God in the world. Yet her faith in God never wavered. She hnew that he would avenge his own elect wiio cry day and night unto him. In her own opinion she was the least of them who love the Lord indeed but she was convinced that faith, even as a grain of mustard seed, would remove mountains. When John was fifteen years old, at a time of great religious interest in his native place, he professed conversion.
