In one of the'norfriern towns of Ter
mont lived a young man, Daniel, JBry
an, a lawyer by profession.. Jso one
possessed the confidence of Lb friends
more than he did,-and no one was Ixt
ter calculated to secure the good "will
andfriendship of all with whom 'he came
in contact. " Business poured in upon
himand he failed not to give the ut
most satisfaction. ; :..".::
J . At the age of twenty-gcren, Bryan
most lavored ones ot the country.
Mary Felton experienced a strange!
pnae wnen sne cave iier.hand to the
young lawyer, and if none envied her,
many at least prayed that they might
be equally fortunate.
But ere long a cloud came over the
scene. - Conviviality ran high among
the members of the bar, and Bryan
possessed one of those peculiar-temperaments
which at Jength gave, the
whole body and soul. tip to demon.
For,-three:years ho followed the' social
custom of the times without neglecting
muchofhia business, but finally he
sunk into the lowest pit of degradation.
When at the age of five and thirty, he
had become a confirmed drunkard.
He now;ne!ectcd his "clients altogeth
er, for he could not remain sober long
enough .at any time to carry any case j
through court. Ihe only business he
now had on his hands was the collec
tion of eome debts.
On the evening of his thirty-fifth
birth day he joined the Washingtoni-
ans, and once more his brirrht jrcnms
shone outupon the world. But it could
not last long chough amid the examples
of those who were his constant com
panions; he sank as rapidly as he had
risen. In one short year from that
time he was a' miserably, degraded
thing. . People who had left 3iote3 and
accounts- with him -to collect called at
his house, and upon inquiring of his
wife where he could be found, she
would tell them he was. away. Poor
woman, they ccull not bear to" dispute
wiihlitT, anatney Knew tall well that
the remains of Daniel Bryan were
prostrate upon his" bedroom floor.
One day a Mr. Vinson went to see
him. Vinson had left notes and ac
counts to the amount -of several thous
and dollars witti Uryan to collect, and
he was anxious about them. Ills poor
wife answered him as usual that her
husband iad gone away,
jly dear madam,' returned ' Mr
Vinson', "I know your misfortune, and
I annreciate vour'Jeelinfrs. but 1 must
see your husband. ' If I can see him f o
one minute 1 can learn all 1 wish to
know."
Mary Brvan spoke not - a: word, but
with a tearful eve turned away and Mr.
inson followed her. He found Brv
an in a back room, -stretched at full
length upon the floor with a jug of

ate to a state of semi-consciousness
and asked him if he had done anything
about the notes and accounts which he
had left with him.

he said, in strongly emphasied tones :
