FAMILY SECRETS.

While ascending the Mississippi, some
eighteen months since, on board the steam
boat Huntsville, the commander of that ex-
cellent vessel related the following anecdote
of couple of worthy disciples of old father
Miller:
In Coles county there lived man named
Isaac Dodson, and his wife, who were both
firm believers in the prophecy of Old 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, l believe l have made
every preparation for tomorrow. l have
forgiven all mine enemies, and prayed for
the forgiveness fall my sins, and feel per.
fectly calm and resigned" "
"Well husband, believe am ready for
the sound Of the trumpet"
"I am rejoiced to hear it, But my dear
wife, have no doubt there are many do.
mestc secrets which we have hidden from
each other, which, had they been known al
the time of their occurrence, might have pro
duced unpleasant feelings; but as we have
but one more day to live, reckon it's righ
to make clean breast to each other. L an
ready-you begin, husband"
"No, dear, you begin"
"No, husband, you begin-I can't"
"No,-you know, my love, Paul says
husbands have the right to command theil
wives 1t is your duty, as a Christian wo
man, to obey your husband-the father o
your children-so, begin, love"
"In the sight of God I reckon it's right
so will tell you, dear husband, our eldes
son, William, is not your child"
"Great God, Mary! never dreampt o
you being untrue to me Is that true %
"Yes, God forgive me, it is true. know
that did very wrong, but am sorry for it
in an evil hour l fell, but there is no help fo
it now"
civilian not mine! In the name Of Coz
whose child is he ?"
"He is Mr. Graham's, the constable. Th
Lord be near your poor wife !"
80, William amt my child? Go on"
"Well, our daughter, Mary, named afte
me, amt yours neither" z
Salvation Talk on, Mary-come RICH
out. Who's Mary's father?"
"Mr. Grder, the man that built the NEE
ting house, and went to the lower country.
"Well, as there is but one day more, II

"Well, there is our youngest"

"No, dear husband Jimmy that W,

"Merciful Lord Is that so? In tn

THE WAY TO BE BRAVE.

Speak kindly to that poor old man,
Pick up his fallen cane,
And place it gently in his hand,
That he may walk again.
His bundle, too, replace with care,
Beneath his trembling arm;
Brave all the taunts that you may hear,
To give his life charm.
A braver deed than scorners boast
Will be your triumph then.
A braver deed than annals tell
Of some distinguished men,
Yes, leave that thoughess sneering crowd
Dare to be good and kind;
Then let them laugh, as laugh they may
Pass on, but never mind.
Pass on; but think once more of him,
The wreck that you have seen,
How once happy boy like you
He sported on the green
A cloudless sky above his head,
The future bright and fair,
And friends all watching DER his couch,
To breathe affections prayer.
But ah! the change! He wanders now,
Forsaken, lone and sad
Thrice blessed is the task of those
Who strive to make him glad.
Speak kindly to that poor old man,
Pick up his fallen cane,
For that will ease his burdened heart,
And make him smile again.

HAS SHE ANY TIN ?

Oh! do not paint her charms to me,
know that she is fair ......
| know her lips might tempt the bee,
Her eyes with stars compare;
Such transient gifts, | ne'er could prize,
My heart they could never win;
l do not scorn my Mary's eyes,
But-Aas she any tin.
The fairsst check, alas may fade.
Beneath the touch of'years! ..
The eyes where light and gladness playec
May soon grow dim wi h tears
| would loves fires should to the last
Still burn, as they begin;
But beauty's reign so soon is past!
So---has she any tin!

The Family opposed to subscrib-
ing for a Newspaper.

The man who don't take his county paper
was i'll town yesterday. He brought his
whole family in one-horse sled. He still
believed General Taylor was President, ard
wanted to know if the Kamschatkans"
had taken Cuba, and if so, mAere they had
taken it. He had sold his corn for 25 cents,
(the price being 374 but upon going to de-
posit the money, they told him it was mostly
counterfeit. The only hard money he had
was some three cent pieces, and these some
sharper had "run on him" for half dimes.
His old lady smoked a "cob pipe" and she
would not believe that anything else could
be used. One of the boys went to black
smith shop to get measured for pair Of
shoes, and another mistook the market-house
for church. After hanging his hat on a
meat hook, he piously took his seat upon a
butchers STALL and listened to an auctioneer,
whom he took for the preacher lie left

opinion of the "sarmint One of the girls

with an old sock, and sang Barbara Allen. y
The oldest boy had sold two "coon SKINS
and was on "bust." When last seen he
had called for glass of "sody and water"
and stood soaking gingerbread and making
Yry faces. The shop-keeper, mistaking his
meaning, had given him mixture Of sal
soda and water, and it tasted strongly of soap
But "he'd hearn tell of sody and water, and
was bound to give it a fair trial. puke or nc

called for lemonade with "Ay in it," and
our escaped" friend turned his back and
quietly wiped several flies into his drink
We approached the old gentleman and tried
to get him to "subscribe," but he would
not listen to it. He was opposed to "infer.
nal improvements" and he thought "larnin
was a very wicked invention, and cultiwa-
ted nothing but vice, vanity and wexation.'
None of his family ever learned to read but
one boy, and he "teached school awhile,
and then went a courtin' the gals"

hand of the great chief, and said:
