THE LIGHT Ar home.
ny JOHN BARTRAM.

The Light at Home. how bright il beams
When evening shades around US fall;
And from the lattice far II CLEANS;
To love and rest and comfort call.
When tired with the tolls Of day,
The strife for glory, gold or fame.
How sweet TO seek the quiet way,
Where loving lips will lisp our name
Around the Light al Home.
When through the dark and stormy night,
The wayward wanderer homeward HES;
How cheering Is that twinkIing light,
Which through the forest gloom he spies J..
II is the light at home he feels,
That loving hearts will greet him there,
And softly through his bosom steals,
That JOY and love that Danish care,
Around the Light at Home.
The Light at Home when ere at last
IL greets the seaman through the storm:
He feels no more the chilling blast,
That beats upon his manly form.
Long wears upon the sea have fed,
Since Mary gave her parting kiss, .485
But the sad tears which then She she'd,
Will now be paid with rapturous bliss.
Around that Light at Home.
The Light at Home how still and sweet
IL peeps from yonder cottage door
The weary laborer tn greet ..
When the rough tolls OF day are DER
SAD Is the soul that does not know
The blessings that its beams impar,
4 The cheerful hopes and joys that flow,
And tighten up the heaviest heart,
Around the Light at Home.

BALTIMORE CORRESPONDENCE.

oALfhoE1, July ZO, 1894.
"Whew. how hot is it - was the exclama-
nation Of almost every person / met to-day.
It is now while am penning this epistle still
extremely hot. The Thermometer rose from
80 at II O'Clock. to 90 at 5 o'clock. The OPP
pressiveness Of the weather was so severely
felt by our workingmen that numbers of them
stopped work at IL clock CO and called it half
day" Very few carpenters, brick.layers
and others who do outdoor work employed this
afternoon. All agree that this has been not
only tho hottest day of the season, but also the
hottest that has been experienced for q mum.
Der of years.
The Patriot of this evening notices the adj
dress of our fellow-citizen z. Collins Lee. ESQ
delivered some where at the North on the 4th
OF July last, when he said in relation to Sen.
ator Douglas, that he certainly seemed to
need defender, for he had not heard a word
spoken in his favor since he had been on his
journey, and that the South wanted no such
recruits
Mr.. Lee was no doubt exercising his old
failing on this occasion. 1t is we'll known that
he never fails to use the strongest language,
when speaking in public, to gain the appl ause
of his audience, it matters not what kind of a.
one 1t Is If an Irish gathering, he tells them
OF the noble deeds of their forefathers and the
greatness of the Irish heart. If Native as
semblage, he says 60 Americans should rule
America" At st. Inegoes, he is eloquent
about the 'ancient religion of the Catholic"
at home, IN Baltimore, be is equally brilliant
in favor of the purity of the Protestant faith
The people of the North should become ac-
quainted with this weakness of our friend
Lees, and know that he is not qualified to
speak for the South, or to be believed when
he says be wants no such recruits as the
''little giant of the West,
at meeting of the Directors of the Balti-
more and Susquehanna railroad, held yester.
day. the following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That P. A. Winchester, Superin-
tendent; VIM. d. Scott, Conductor and Ed
ward Parsons, Collector, are no longer officers
Of this Company.

The cholera has appeared in the lower sec.
ton OF dorchester county, an entire family
having died of that disease in the latter mart
OF the lastweek. The family was named Dean.
and consisted of husband, wife and two chill
dren, who partook heartily of crabs on Friday,
and IN less than forty eight hours the whole
family was dead. Several cases have occurred
IN 81. Mary county, all Of which proved fatal
linus Tar this city remains remarkably
healthy. ..
The Argus localizer, this afternoon, gives n
wonderful story about some modern DON Juan
VINO endeayored to enveigle a married lady of
THIS city, but who was caught by the indip
nant husband, and lashed to his hearts con-
tent why not give your readers the name
Ned I" The names In such cases make the

1.-the Turks may fight well-they
have gwen evidence of prowess and prac-
teal ability in that; but they execute
their criminals wretchedly, if we credit a
relation in the foreign news, of the way a
Russian spy in the Danubian country
was disposed of. Being arrested and con-
victed, he was led forth by a triumphal
procession ofsoldiers and music, his arms
tied and his eyes bandaged, and the Turk
1sh officers and troops ranged round to
feast their eyes on his execution, which
the account goes on thus to describe:
The Pasha gave the signal to nine SOL
dlers, who were placed 25yards from the
condemned man, to fire. Three fired
irst, but only one of their shots took eff.
fect. 1t made him stagger and fall
Another three then fired, with but little
more effect; after which the remaining
three discharged their muSkets at him.
-Four balls in all seemed to have struck
him: but as he was not dead, three other
soldiers were ordered to fall out of their
ranks and to fire upon him. After thew
had done so, several men went up to the
unkilled man and stuck their bayonets
into has skull. He groaned so heavily
that the crowd heard him. The want Of
precision with which the men fired, and
the Hardness they showed in doing their
work, were very reprehensible, and gave
much pain to the foreign officers who had
seen military executions in other conn.
tries; but the finishing part of the bust.
ness was little else than revolving to their
feelings. Several Turkish officers went
up to the mutilated man, drew their
swords across his throat, and then licked
the blood from their sides. During the
whole of the proceedings, Ishmael was
quietly smoking his pipe, and seemed as
undisturbed by emotion as if he had been
witnessing a review of his troops. The
spy had been formerly of the Russian
army, and was man of some intelligence
