Come Haste Thee Home.

Come, haste thee home, the lamp is trimmed,
An anxious heart is throbbing there;
And soft the eyes with tear-drops brimned,
Are gazing on thy empty chair.
Oh, haste thee homo, where tender smiles
Shall chase that dare-look from thy brow;
While love and JOY the time beguile,
Which passes there SO lonely now.
The fire burns brightly on the hearth,
The bucket drips its monotone,
And lips which love the best of earth,
Wait thereto bid thee welcome home.
While red the Pickering firezhames glow,
The watcher notes her shadow fall,
And waits the absent one to throw
One more beside it on the wall.
She watches by the cottage door,
And fingers by the garden gate,
And speaks the dear name Ger and Ger,
, Like some lone bird that woos its mate.
Then, haste thee home, the lamp is trimmed,
An anxious heart is throbbing there;
And tender eyes, with tear-drops brimmed,
Are gazing on thy empty chair.

"Please stop Ny Paper

'Ia IN going to stop my paper" said
a misery subscriber TO newspaper
to one of his neighbors, II cannot
afford to take it"
"Iiow much does it cost you a
year?' asked the neighbor.
"Two dollars" was the reply.
Sand can't you afford two dol
lars a year? Think OF it, only two
dollrrs year! A year is a long
time. Perhaps you have only q
few such to spend Oh earth. A
j ear; a whole year! and only two
dollars! And what do you get for
your money! A large closely print
ed, useful sheet, givingyou the news
of the week, and alarge amount of
miscellaneous reading, philosophical
and grave, light and humorous
and you can't afford two dollars for
such a paper a whole year.
swell, | declare, neighbor, you
talk like an experienced man; !
never thought it in just that light
before; it is only two dollars for a
year, a nd yet the paper comes TO
me every week, and | love to read
i; | always find something in it that
is interesting tc me. And more
over, on second thought | per-
ceive that, after all, good news
paper is about the cheapest thing
a man can have. He gets more
reading for his money than he can
in any other way
aTrue, nelghbor, and this shows
that what have already said is
true; newspapers seem to have
deem designed ALMOST exclusively
for the poor. No man is too poor
to take newspaper, because ii is
The cheapest thing he can have" I

How to Wear SpectaeIes.

The follow ing is copied from a
"Treatiseton tHee Eye by Mr. West,
an eminent optieian:
an the proper use of Spectacles
there is no circumstance of more i'm
portance than their positio on on the
head. They should be worn so that
the glasses may come as close to
the eyes as possible, without touch
the eyelashes. They should also be
placed so that the glasses. may be
parallel with the paper when the
head is in an easy posi- ton. To ac-
complish this, let the sides of the
spectacles bear on the head about mid
way between the top Of it and the
ear; the eyes will then look directly
through the glasses to the paper, and
make the most advantageous use of
them, instead of looking obliquely
through them to the paper, as spec
tacles are usually wo orn, with their
bows in contact with the ear, in
which positionthey produce distort
ed image on the retina. The sides
Of the spectacles should also be
placed at an equal height on the
head"

weeks since, one fine Sunday morn

four hundred, were mustered in their

marching orders for the church on

Ger in command courteously h alted
the regiment, and gave permi ssion'

Colony of Seven Hundred Luna..cs

At the last sitting of the French
Academy of Sciences, paper pn IL
sanity was read by It's author VI. Mo
reau, one of the physicians present
The chief object Of this. pamphlet IS
torecom mmend the adoptionin France,
as regards pauper lunatics, of the
plan resorted in Belgium. M. Mo-
reau states. that in the village of
Gheel, in that country, there is
colony of not less than seven hun
dred lunatics, who are treated upon
so admirable a system that they are
perfectly harmless, and live and h
Dor with the same inhabitants whose
habits they acquire, and to whicl,
they become so attached that when
cured they 4 re frequently unwilling
to quit the place. These lunatics
are made u 4eful in agriculture and
manufactures, ;, and consequently the
cost is small compared with ordinary
lunatic asyl pms. The origin of this
colony dated as far back as the sixth
century, and is another veriication
Of the old ada ge, that there is moth
ing new underI the sun. The mode Of
treating the lunatics at Hantwell,
near London, was considered, when
=
first put into practice, as a novelty. |
and yet it " as nothing but the Gheel
practice imPerfeetly carried out. 1t
is surprising that this improved modo +
Of treatment t should have been DE-
ferred so long in England; ard it is
now eyiden { that it is capable Of
great extension in lis application.
the last few years only, in
that county, medical men have as
eertained til e possibility Of so class
ing and Occupying lunatics as to
render even the most violent Of them
comparatively tranquil, and thus IA
cilitate the curative process. For
chains, whips, and other means Of
kindness and intelligence

who engage in it. Nearly one-half Of
the whole number of dissiIIeries in

converted to other purposes; others
will follow the same course as soon

FLoRIpA INDIANS The inhabi

not little alarmed at the prospect
of another Indian W ar, in case forci-
bic efforts shall be M ade by the State
authorities to evict the remnant of
savages from their Il ZONES in the Ev-
erglades. Atan adjourned meeting
held on the alst DIT, at De Soto,

tions were adopted deprecating the
resort to forcible d heasures. They
give it as their conFiction that such
an attempt would lead to all the hor-

there were no less than % applica-

The same paper remarks that the dis
ciples of Kent and Blackstone, have
become much addicted of late, to
practical demonstration of their skill

1t will be seen from the above, that
the Methodists are the most stnumerous
and most wealthy of all the number.
The Baptists, in point of numbers,
are the next, and the Presbyterians
next in wealth, and very near the
same as the Methodists. But if all
who claim to be Presbyterians, such
as Orthodox Congregationalist, Ger
man Reformed, Sc, be add ed, as those
have who are classed as Methodists,
then the Presbyterian order will foot
up second in numbers, making s.

love an open countenance,
A kind and noble face;
The index of an honest heart,
That loves the human race!
A brow on which a smile is thr bned
Like sunlight ON flower
AS open as the regal skies, =
With beams of love and power!
l love tt he kind and welcome glance,
That proves we're not alone;
And oh, how SWEET to find at times
Some feelings like our own
A heart that beats with purest hopes,
To pity and to bless;
That strives to make earth's comforts more,
Its pains and fJllies lessl
Hove the man whose generous smile
Is given with his hand
Who sees his equal in all men;
And all men equal standl
Who secs not the distinction made,
By human laws, between
The man who has and who has not,
But loves from what is seen
] love the man whose heart is true,
Who seldom wears frown;L
And loves all men, from him " ho tolls
To him who wears a crownl
With mildness ever on his lips,
A free and open mind
A brow with mental grandeur spann'd,
A soul supremely kind!
