"Good News from Home"

There is very pretty little ballad just now
in popular favor, beginning with the above
words. They occurred to US we read the in
telligence from Norfolk and Portsmouth, as
appropriate to the refugees from the late
plague-stricken cities. Many of those are
afflicted, wounded in their best affections,
mourning the loss of beloved relatives and
friends. and will return to realize more ltera-
ry and keenly than ever the desolation which
the hand of the Destroyer has wrought.
How many familiar faces will be missed
from the accustomed associations of life
Sweet voices, but la.e tuned to the harmonies
Of domestic love and tenderness, silent forev-
Or, and the heart will sympathise with the wait
ing ear-waiting for those voices which shall
be heard no more. And with all the vacant
places in the street, in the stores in the house
hold, vacancies so sad as to hush the inquiries
On the lip-who will have the heart to ask the
The answer is already written in the long cata-
logue of the dead!
Such is the calamity, and such the conse-
quences it has wrought for the survivors. Yet
with all this how thorougly and heartily We
can realize abe feeling with which the SORROW
Ing refugee is greeted with ssGood news from
Home 90 The fever is abating How the
heart responds with cheerful hope to these few
words. The terrible destroyer is satitaed with
the banquet of mortality. He who suffers the
visitation of affection has interposed His hand
and stayed the work of Death. He breathes
upon the pestilent atmosphere the breath Of
life; It is dissipated like the morning yapor
of summers day, and health and animation
re-inyigorate the suffering people, and renew
ed confidence in the untailing benifcence of
God springs up e1ulting In the human heart.

SINGULAR TEsrIMoNY.-In recent breach
of promise case tried at Springfield, Mass, in
which a man by the name of Dwight was the
defendant, the mother of the plaintiff gave the
following very satisfactory testimony: ''At
one time Dwight saw Eunice mopplng the
floor. He asked her to come to the door, and
see big hawk there was there. She went
out, and in a moment followed to see the
hawk too. did not see any ha,ol, but l did see
Duight with his arm around Eunice's waisf.-
L saw him kiss her, and tell her he didn't want
her to mop floors. She said she could do it
better than mother.' This evidence was con-
sidered SO conclusive that the jury gave the
fair plaintiff twenty-five hundred dollars dam
ages. He, however is SO unreasonable that he
has appealed to tho Supreme Court, on the
ground that he ''knows a hawk from hand
saw" and girls waist from mop-stick.
