med Grimsey returned there after an absence OF
many years, and engaged himselfto Miss Mar

Four or five days previous TO that time, Miss M.
was making up her wedding bonnet, and reqnr-
ing some paper for the lining, she found news
paper published two years ago in Mississippi In
cutting up this paper her eye lit upon an ndver-
tisemsnt by the Governor of Mississippi, offering
a large reward for two men charged with a muir
der in that Sta,e, one of them named Grimsey,
and agreeing precisely in description with the man
10 whom she was about to be married. She i'm
medintey called her brothers attention to il, who
at once called upon Grimsey for an explanation.
Grimsley denied knowing any thing about It, Sus-
picions were excited, however, and warrant was
issued against Grimsey. He is now in Jail await
ing the demand OF the Governor OF Mississippi.
Since his confinement he has acknowledged that
he was present when the murder was committed,
but denies that he was engaged in 1t.

THE HAPPY HOME.

/ love the hearth where evening brings
Her lov'd ones from their daily tasks,
Where virtue spreads her spotlCss wings,
And vice, fell serpent, never basks
Where sweetly rings upon the ear
The blooming daughters gentle song,
Like heavenly music whispering near,
While thrilling hearts the notes prolong.
For there the father sits in Joy,
And there the cheerful mother smiles,
And there the laughtor.loving boy
With sportive tricks the eve beguiles
And love beyond what worldlings know,
Like sunlight on the purost form,
Descends, and with its cheering glow,
Lights up the Christians happy home.
Contentmcnt spreads her holy calm
Around restng-place so bright,
And gloomy sorrow iinds q balm
In gazing at 10 fair sight
Tho worlds cold selishnoss departs,
And discord rcars its front no more,-
There pity's pearly tear-drop starts,
And charity attends the door.
No biting scandal fresh from hell,
Crates on the eur, or scnlds the tongue;
There kind remembrance loves to dwell,
And virtues need is swoetly sung,
And human nature scars on high,
Where heavenly spirits love to roam,
And vice, as stalks it Tudely by,
Admres the Christians happy home.
OF have joih'd the lovely ones
Around the bright and cheerful hearth,
With father, mother, daughters, sons,
The brightest Jewels of the earth
Aud while the world grew dark around,
And fashion call'd her senseless thIong,
I've fancicd it was holy ground,
And that fair girls seraph's song.
And swift as circles fade away
Upon the bosom of the deep,
When pebbles, tOss'd by boys at play,
Disturb its still and CLASSY sleep,
The hours that sped in pure delight,
And wandering feet forget to roam,
While waved the banners of tho night
Above the Christians happy home.
Tho rose that blooms in Sharon's vale,
And scents the purple mornings breath,
May, in the shades Of evening, fail
And bend its crimson head In death
And earth's bright ones, amid the tomb,
May, like tho blushing rose decay;
But still the mind, the mind shall bloom,
When time and nature iade away.
And there amid holior sphere,
Where the nrchangel bows in awe,
Where sits tho King of Glory near,
And executes his perfect law,
The ransom'd of the earth, with Joy,
Shall in their robes of beauty como,
And find a rest without alloy,
Amid tho Christians happy home.

duced by Mr.. Shenck in the House TO

Legislature from the first Monday in De.
cember to the I'd Monday in january
The bill extending the corporate limits of
the town of Higginsport has passed the
Senate, and is a law. On the 25th ult.
the House passed Mr.. Byington's bill to
compel the banks, their agents and as
slgnees, to receive ;heir own paper in
payment of debts due them. The fol-
lowing is the vote on this important
question:

All the wings present voted against
the bill. We have ilalicised the names
of two Of the Representatives from this
district, whose loyalty to bank federalism
would not allow them TO vote in favor of
justice TO the people, when privileged
persons would be prejudiced thereby

OF Representatives Of Ohio voting in a
mass against me asure which every IN.
prejudiced man will say is no more nor
less than exact justice. The bankers,
through their brokers, have heretofore
bought up their bills at an enormous dis
count. This bill (which will undoubted.
ly pass the Senate,) will prevent much of
this bank shaving, and save for The peo-
pie thousands Of which they would 9th
erwise be flcbed by shylocks, whose
principles are never found deserving
their interests. While commenting upon
this subject, the Statesman gives the fol-
lowing figures.
