serenade to senator ButIer.

The Edgefeld Is. c. Advertiser thus describes
4 serenade given TO Senator Butler, of that State,
on his return to his residence:
ave went out, (some dozen good feIows,) on
Thursday night last TO serenade our glorious old
Senator Judge Butler, as a passing compliment
upon his return TO Stonelands. The night was a
little cold but otherwise all that we could desire
and the whole party were in fine mood for doing
the handsome thing. Within a hundred yards OF
the house halted 10 prepare lanterns, instru-
ments, notes, &c. The consequence was some
little unavoidable noise. Without observing II, we
had approached much nearer the Judges Office, in
which he sleeps than we reckoned upon. The
cominotion Of our ranks, II seems, aroused him out
Of good old-fashoned country nap. And his stern
demand Of Who goes there 2 had just about
enough Of the military in il 10 make our leader
reply TO the accord which we at nnce sounded the
old mans voice was on different key altogether
1t told Of the hospitable breast whence IL proceed
ed. lie saw our object In twinkling, and his
hearty Come along up, boys come along upP
called forth a burst OF melody which only such
genial tones elicit After that all was right.
OH 'Stonelands' was made TO ring again with
music, while its distinguished master, 'accoutred
as he was, in dressing-gown and boots, came out
in person, and babe us follow So indeed we
did, and (blame for rehesrsing IL, Sons Of Tenn
perHnce) the mountain dew which then and there
we tasted was Of that old and oily kind which even
YOU might have excused a. a cordial But we can
not further speak OF the private hospitality here so
nobly displayed. On the part Of the band, we
would express 10 the judge their heartfelt grati-
cation with all that transpired on the occasion"

A Home Scene.

A WIFE WAITING FOR HER HUSBAND.
The MONDAY sun has set and still she stands,
(The oftread letter Tustling in her hAnds,)
Gazing aslant along the gimmerng lane,
Her pressed lip breathing on the clouded pane
The evening shadows darken round, and see
With misty lantern twinkling through the tree,
The ponderous wagon rolls its weight along,
Cheered by rude gludness Of rustic song
High in the air the swinging canvass flows,
Brushing the twilight foliage as it goes,
Now deeping fast on her attentive ear,
Up the geen path a shadowy step draws near
And winds he now beneath those branches dlmt
No-other cottage faces look for him.
ana other cottage ears his steps await;
Harkl down yon field rebounds his garden gate.
Sadly she shuts again the parlor door,
And through the parted shutter on the floor,
The palid rays of autumn moonlight fall,
And the quick freight lickers on the wall.
Now, pensive, In the chair, she thinks awhile
Der the fond parting sweetness Of his smile;
Now to the window goes, and now returns;
And now hope dies away, and now il burns.
In vain with book she soothes the hour of grief
Started by every rustic of the leaf
oh, joyous sound her fearful vigil past,
The threshold echoes now--he comes at last!

The Use of TObacc0.

Il is really surprising that single individual can
be found, who, after experiencing the distressing
sensations Invariably produced by the first attempt
at tobaccochewing, would persist in its USE until
IT becomes, in spite Of its obnoxious qualities, a
seducing luxury, from which 1t sdificut to refrain
Did this tweed" possess one-half the virtues az
cribed to it, by the infatuated advocates, and the
practice result in benefit to the human system there
would be some justification for the liberation of its
loathsome smell, taste and filth but we are conf
dent that the perncious effects are apparent to it's
willing slaves. Tobacco is an absolute poison. In
whatever form il may be employed, portion of the
ac,ive principles of tobacco mixed with the saliva,
finds its way into the stomach, and impars the
functions ofthc digestive organs creating diseases
TO which a person who does not use tobacco is
wholly stranger. 1t weakens the nervous-system,
renders memory defective, and also renders the
ternal senses obtuse, and those persons belonging
TO class Of society, where refinement Of taste and
where female delieacy is considered should be in
duced 10 discard SO disgusting practice, if their
o'cn Judgment could not effect the reformation.

The Louisville journal takes the following view
Of the Cincinnati slave Ease, that Is exciting 50
much attention at this time;
We presume that the case win be tried before
the United States Commissioner under the fugitive
slave law, yet he can hardly think that the com
missioner win decide that Rosetta Is fugitive
slave. With every disposition TO maintain south
ern rights, we do not believe that a slave who Is
taken into free State with the consent Of her
owner, and chooses TO remain there Is fugitive
within the meaning Of the fugitive slave law.
As 10 the right Of transit Of slaves through the
State of Ohio, that is a question TO which the
United States commissioners jurisdiction does not
extend The remedy on the question lies in APP
peal, FIRST TO the supreme court Of the State from
the decision Of the inferior State court, then
if either party choose, by appeal to the Supreme
Court Of the United States.
