Family Secrets.

1Messrs. Edscards: While ascending the Mis-
sissipp, some eighteen months since, on board the
steamboat Huntsville, the commander of that ex-
ceent vessel related the following anecdote of a
couple of worthy disciples of Father Miller. If
you think it worthy of place in your paper, pray
make room for it.
Memphis, Tenn, Sept. %, ls4S.
In Coles county, there lived man named Isaac
Dodson and his wife, who were both firm believ-
ers in the prophecy of Father Miller; and not
doubling for a moment the correctness of their
prophets calculations for the eventful day, that
was to terminate the existence of all sublunary
things.
After having set their house in order" the
following conversation took place =
"My dear wife, believe, | have made every
preparation for tomorrow. have forgiven all
my enemies, and prayed for the forgiveness of all
my sins, and feel perfectly calm and resigned"
Well, husband, believe, am ready for The
sound of the trumpet!''
Il am feioiced to hear it. But my dear wife,
have doubt that there are many domestic secrets
which we have hidden from each other, which
had they been known at the time of their occur
renee, might have produced unpleasant feelings,
but we have but one. day to live let US
unbosom ourselves freely to each other.'
Well. husband, you right, there some
little things that never told you, and which in
tended should remain between me and my God
but as we have but one day left, reckon it's right
to make clean breast to each other. am ready
you begin husband"
No, dear, you begin, can't"
No, husband, you begin, can't"
No! you know my love, Paul says, husbands
have the right to command their wives. IL is
your duty as a Christian woman to obey your hus-
band-the father of your children, so begin love -
6 In the sight of God, reckon it's right; so
will tell you dear husband--Ow eldest son, Will
liam, is not your child"
Great God, Mary never dreampt of your
being untrue to me Is that true q
Yes; God forvive me, it is true. know that
did very wrong, but am sorry for it; in an
evil hour fell, and there is no help for it now :"
William, not mine. In the name of God,
mhose child is he?'
He is Mr.. Graham's. the constable! The
Lord be near your poor wfe!"
" So, William amt my child Go on.''
"Well, our daughter, Mary-named after me,
amt yours neither"
" Salrahon! Talk on Mary-come right out.
Who's Mary's fatherl"
"Mr. Girder, the man that built the meeting
house, and went to the lower country"
'Well, as there is but one day more, I'll bear
it; so 60 on, if you have any thing else"
"Well, there's youngest"
81 suppose Jimmy amt mine !"
No, dear husband, Jimmy, that ace both love
so well, amt your'n neither"

While pleasure pulses madly fly:
But in The still unbroken air

And years of sin and manhood fee,
And leave me at my mothers knee.

Beneath moonlight sky offspring,
When earth was garnished like bird.
And night had on her silver wing;
When bursting buds and rerdant grass,
And waters leaping to the light,
All that make the pulses pass
With wild feetness through the night
When all was beauty, then have |,
With friends on whom my love is flung,
Like myrrh on the wings of Araby,
Gazed up where evenings lamp is hung.
And when the beauteous spirit there
Flung over all is golden chain,
Nv mothers voice came on the air,
Like the light dropping of the rain;
And resting on some silver star,
The spirit of bended knee,
I've poured deep and fervent prayer
That our eternity might be
To rise in Heaven like stars at night,
And tread living path OF light.
