POETRY. A few years ago, there lived in Baltimore a family of the name of Hawkin*. They had been in better circumstance*, but were reduced through the drunken ness of their father. There wa« a public house in one of the lanes of Baltimore, where every day, five or si* drunken companions used to assemble, to guzzle all day long. Hawkins was one of this set; and though he cursed it, and cursed himself for hi* weakness in going there, yet it clung to him like a cur«e ; and every day ha went there, and only came thence when he irai no longer able to stand , and late in the evening or in the night staggered home, often falling on the steps where ho must have retrained lying, and have perished in cold and wretchedness, had it not been for hi* daughter, little Hannah. She sat up till she heard bim coming home and then went out to meet him, and helped him up the steps ; and when he fell down, and she was not able to lift him, she bro't down pillows, and 8 bed covcr, and made htm a bed where ho lay, doing all in her power to make him comfortable, and thefi lay down beside him. The wile, who in her despair had grown weary of striving with him, endeavored by her own lubor, to maintain herself and the younger children. Little Hannah, however, only ten year* old, did not grow weary, but still watched over her father, and devoted to him her childUh affection. When be, in the morning, awoke out of big drunkenness, he used immediately to send the little girl to get him some brandy, and she did as she was bid, when her prayers could not prevail with him to abstain. She succeedcd only in awakening in him n yet stronger sense of his misery, and the need there was for him to forcet it. He cursed himself for being so unwor'.hy a father to such a child, and he compelled the child to give him the drink which would drown his misery.— And when he, by means of the fresh, fiery liquor, was revived and invigoraied so that he could stand and walk, he again went to the ale house. Such was his life for a long lime—a lengthened chain of misery and self accusation, interrupted merely bv fresh debauch. The family had sunk into the depth of misery, and each succeeding day only added to their distress. One day, when Hawkins, ill bolh in bodv and mind, from the carouse of the foregoing day, awoke in his bed, he desired Hannah, cs usual, to go out and get him some brandy. But the giil would not go. She besought him earnestly— " Dear father," die said, " not to day— not lo day, dear father," and she wept bit- Id. purHunncft of this plan lie had determined to take the boat and cross over to some point which was to place him beyond the family possessions, within the boundaries of which the pursuit of their fugitives was usually copfined. Congratulating himself on the result of his interview with Martha, whioh, besides filling hit bosom with the blissful consciousness that his iove was reciprocated, and inspiring his mind, with the joyful hope that the prize of his affections would soon be his, had passed over, as he supposed, undetected, he pursued his way with a light and rapid step, taking the path leading to the water. He had not gone many rods, however, before, to his utter surprise, his old persecu. tor, the sleepless Higgins, stepped out from behitid a covert, and*with a look of molicious indignation, confronted him in his path. Deeply vexed, but neither daunted nor turned from his purpose, Seth pnu sed and threw back a look of indignation and scorn at lii.s detected opponent; lor. perceiving the Elder to be alone and con. scions of his own bodily power, he disdained either to cower or flee, but with an air of cool defiance, stood wailing his movements.laifitcbiuia Anthracite loaryal AND Rooms in G.
