In ' j every mining town there is generally one or j more men who liave gone " Id tho dogs" ] ' j from the use of drink. How they lire is • , I mystery, for they no sooner get a few cents I 'van tbry spend them for liquor. Sleeping j ,:i I ar-rooms, getting their meal, ar chance \ . ; 'uctntra, and often not getting them at oH, j , they gradually aink lower and lower, notil i j -nddenly one haul that so-and-so jg^dcad : ' j .had in th- gutter or in some tumble-down b-j Wild IB which hs has crept to die. Possibly J . wholly contemptnoas tone ; rBo that oU | drunken beast has gone. Good riddance to such rubbish and this sen OS At the drunkard's requiem. Old Pete Fsrley was known - in Alio camp as a SOL Re lived by the ' hint a meal or a drink oat of chanty ; tuid Miners are exceedingly generous men, and Pete's requests for the loan of two bits (twenty-five cents) were surely refused at first. The news that a stranger had arrives aaa therefore, to him something of the nature of information of an unexpected legacy. While old Pete was appereully asleep he had carefully noticed what was said, and he t aoon afterwards got up. left the saloon and made his way to 81iugsby'e old claim up the Arriving there, he found a young fellow of about twenty-two. working as only gold of the bank and watched him. As he did so miration, and an equally curious reluctance to broach the object of his visit, a relnctanoe. . ' he did not remember having felt ffir many years. The worker in tho claim at length paused, and noticing tho old man, hailed him with : k hixawim: 1:

" Ilello, stranger I IPs a nice day." |, "You're "bout right. 1 see you're work- j tug on SUngsby's old ground." !. " Yea, I bought it the other day. Gin _ "Waal, you gin all 'twas wolh. What n mought jour name be, stranger I" "Peter Phillips." , "Phillips! Phillips 1 'Pears to me I've I: hcarn that ar name afore." " Quito possible- There's a good eight of a j1 philhper* going round. It's about dinner , i- liuie, Stranger, an" my cabin 's jnst up £ J there. Wpn't-jou step iu an' lake a bite ?" ( . "Don't care if I do," was the answer t ■ from the old man ; and tho two walked tos?" 'getbet to the cabin. , " Phniipi made oU Pete tlsvomghly wel. r- oome, fad hint well, and ^tlkcd to him for ^ over an hour. When they got up to go out of the door lie gave hlui a uual cordial Dm- j tation to come agaiu, and oil Pete actually ~ found himself walking off withoDl the two - bits necessary if he would driuk that after- , . noon, and, more than that, with a strange , feeling of sahsfartinn that be had not asked , for il. Tne Rquaiutsace so begun increased t rapidly. Kot a day paraed that the old man did not make lits way to Slingeby's, or Phil- , hps* cbio, a» it now began to he called, B where he would alt on the bank, and talk to , its owner while he worked. Although old j Pete was too much broken down by a king , course of drinking to do mnuli labor, he was t in fact a most experienced miner, and his | advice to the younger loan was of so much , value that before very long the despised , claim began to be known as a paying pro- , petty. Young Philhpa, reoog nixing tbe aid , I given him, insisted that old Pete should , consider himsrdf one of the cwnerv, and at i'i" flag draff op aftarwar . . aand.sl him his , i, -hare of the .bi-L , Th. gift was unfortrmste. The old man , went down to the camp and before night ) was horribly drunk. Some our suggested , to him, while he was in this state, that be t ^ should go and mo his Dew "paid." Old , _ Pete accordingly staggered up Jo the j claim, where lie found the young fellow just , leaving work. Phillips took him to the eabto ] ~ and put him to bed. The next morning he " told the old man. in a way that could not ba misunderstood, that tbe thing must never | dost be bad left, and this be refused to re- t \ torn, saying that be intended to keep it safe. ( Oy Pete was ludicrously penitent, but ha was also rraquffstionahly very much ashamed of himselr. and anxious lo avoid repeating his disgraceful act Be auggastad f, that with his known habits, solvriaty, aa long as be lived in the camp was difficult To , . this PtuDips agreed, and proposed that the , ' two ooraipy the cabin for the future, tbe old j man to act as cook and to do what work ground the deim be oould. d And ao it was settled, much to the min- ,, men in the camp, who had so long locked n ' oa old Pate Farley as a common drunken at*. Old Pete and his " pard" acre a stand- ► ing subject for jokaa, and for a long time „ a any alhanca to them resulted always in Setting tbe crowd iu a roar. II mnet not b be sappoaed that the old man gave np liquor , - | Moore, but hs oartainly did try to refrain, r I Hs kept asray from the mloon and rarely went to the camp at all, preferring to stay t in the cabin, which was about a utBe away, t v- One thing be did do, however. When he , ' took loo mneh, be kept away from Philhpa. ) I Jvothiog Eial could be said to him would in. j

j dace him lo repeat his exjwriment of visit- j ing " his paid " on such orua&ions. j. j One afteruoou the old man went into tbe f ; camp lo buy some grooerisa. With the best ( ] in tbe world, hs allowed Jake j . delude him into taking one drink, < ! and after that he was lost About six o'clock 1 stalked into tbe svdoou and there be 1 . found old Pete, drunk, staodiug on tbe table 1 trying to make a speech with a grinning i crowd around hint. To make bis »AJ into ■ tbe crowd, and pull Abe old man off tbe I table, »os foe young PbUlip- live work of a Then patting bis arm around him he turn- I ed to the door to go ouL Jake, inspired by Lad whiskey? took it into his bead to bar live 1 way, and with tbe remark. "Hold on. ■ 1 young feller, yon can't take your baby off afore we're done with liim," caught hold of 'old Pete's arm. The next second Jake waa ; lying in one comer. And Phillips said. " Is three any one else wants to try it F There was a dead silence, and the two pasred oat. The next day old Peta was as penitent as ever. Iu the evening, while they were { smoking after supper, Phillips said : j " Pete, I'll tell you a bit of a siory Iliat '11 1 kinder explain why I hs'v liquor so. My ! let live.
