BY NORMAN MACLEDD, D D. _._. (From (700d Winds.) CHAPTER I. ‘ Wee Davie’ was the only child of William ’l‘hornburn, blacksmith. He had reached the age at which he could venture, with prudence and reflection, on a journey from one chair to another; his wits kept alive by maternal warnings of ‘ Tait core, Davie ; mind the fire, Davie.’ When the journey was ended in safety, and he looked over his shoul- ders with a crow of joy to his mo- thcr, he was rewarded, in addition to the rewards of his Own brave and adventurous spirit, by snob a smile as equalled only his own, and by the well-merited approval of ‘ IVeel done, Duviel’ Davie was the most powerful and influential member of the household. Neither the British fleet, nor thcl French army, nor the Armstrong gun, had the power of doing what Dnvie did. They might as well have tried to make a primrose grow or a lark sing! . He was, for example, a wonder-l ful stimulons to labour. The smith i had been rather disposed to idleness before his son’s arrival. He did not take to his work on cold morn- ings as he might have done, and was apt to neglect many Opportuni- ties, which offered themselves, of betteringr his condition ; and Jennie, was easily put otl'bv some plausiblei objection when she urged lxei‘ bus- band to make an additional penny to keep the house. But ‘ the bairn' become a new motive to exertion ; and the thought of leaving him and5 t Joanie more comfortable, in cuse‘ sickness laid the smith asidc,or death; took him away, become like a new1 sinew to his powerful arm, as he wielded the hammer, and mode it ring the music of hearty work on the sounding anvil. The meaning of benefit-clubs, sick-societies, aud' penny-banks, was fully explained by ‘ wee Dnvic.’ Davie also exercised a remarka- bl'e influence on his father's political views and social habits. The smith had been fond of debates on politi- cal qubstions; and no more sonorous’ ‘the name of ‘dnd-u.’ l asked Jennie, as she looked over her &c. But, nevertheless, when he entered the suuggery in Peter Wil- son’s whiskey-shop, with the blazing fire and comfortable atmosphere ; and when. with lialf-n-dozeu tiilkn- live, and, to himf‘pleusnnt fellows t1t1thlt1 CUII'lp'JlIlOIIS, he sat round the 111‘s, and the glass circulated; and the gossip of the week was dis- cussed , and racy stories were told ; and one or two song sung, linked together by memories of old merry- me bugs; and current jokes Wore repented,with humour, of the tyrant iiicail influence which some would picsume to exeicise on ‘ innocent! social, eiijoyi'nent’â€"-â€"tlieu would the smilti’s briiwny chest expand, and his face bium, and his feelings be- come malleable, and his sixpcnces’ begin to melt, and flow out in gene’ rous sympathy into Peter Wilson’s fozy band, to be counted .gi'eedily beneath his sudden eyes. And so it was that the smith’s wages were tilway s lessened by Peter’s gains.â€" tlis wife had her fearsâ€"her horridI anticipationsv-but did not ltke to ‘ even to’ her husband anything so dreadful as what she in her heart dreaded. She took her own woy,i however. to Witt him to the house and to good, anti gently insinuotcd wishes rather than expressed thorn. The smith, no doubt, she comforted herself by thinking, ins only ‘ mer- t'y,’ and never ill-tempered or un- kind,â€"-â€"‘ yet at timesâ€"J ' and then, What if--'l’ Yes, Jennie, you are right! The demon sneaks into the house by degrees, and at first may be kept out, and the door shut upon him; but let him only once take. possession, then he will keep it, and shut the door against everything: pure, lovely, and of good report,â€" barring it :igninst thee and ‘ wcev Davic,’ ay, and against One who is best ofallâ€" and will fill the house' with sin and shame, with misery and; despair!_ But ‘ wee Davie,’ with I his arm of might, drove the demon l out. It happened thus 2-â€" Ouc evening when the smith re- turned home so that ‘yon could know it on him.’ Davie tod lled for~ ward; and his father, lifting him up, made him stand on his kuse.~ The child begun to play with the locks of the Stimson, to pat him on the cheek, and to repeat with glee' The smith gazed on him intently, and with a peculiar look of love, mingled with sadness. ‘ Isn’t he a bonnie bairu l’ husband's shoulder at the child. nodding and smiling to him. The smith spoke not a word. but gazed intently upon his boy, while some sudden emotion was strongly work- ing in his countenance. ‘ it’s done 1’ he at last said, as he put his child down. ‘ What’s wrung! What’s wrong 1’ exclaimed his wife as she stood be- - HILL ADVOCATE 1.

The smith seich the child’s little hand in one of his own, and with the other tuck his wife's. ‘1 linv’nn been what ye may 03’ a druuknrtl,’ he said, slowly, and like a man abushed, ‘ but 1 hne been often nsl shonldnzi hue been, and its, wt" God’s help, 1 never, never will be again 19 ‘ Oh !’ exclaimed Jeanie. ‘Let me sponk,’s;tid William ; ‘to think, Jennie,’â€"â€"â€"ltero he sti'uggli'd :is if something was choking himâ€"9 to think that for whiskey 1 might beg- gar you and woe DnVIe; [ah the clues afi' your back; drive you to the woi'ltliousc ; break your heart ; and ruin my bonnie bairu, that loves me sue w ‘cl; :iy, ruin him in soul and bod i', for time and for ctcriiitv 1 God forgie mel Icauna stand the thocht o’t, lot since the reality l’â€"â€"â€"- The strong man rose, and little tic- customed as he was feelings, he kissed his tvifc and child. ‘lt's done, it’s doncf he said; 9:13 l'm n lcevnn miiu.‘ it's done 'â€" But dinnu greet, Jennie.
