Liberation, which the sheriff refused 10 ac-

their demand was not az once complied

assault and were not long in forcing the
doors, until they reached the cell where

sisted the rescue, but both were severely
beaten. The rescued man was then
borne off in triumph towards the wharf
where the steamers we've lying.
There was general fight on the wharf,
in which slung shots were used very
freely. A difficulty occurred between a
young man named john LanIon and i

was pretty severely beaten. About mid

Beautifully Said.

We make the following beautiful ex-
tract on Homestead Exemption law,
from a letter written by a distinguished
Judge Of Tennessee
Secure TO each family whose labor
may acquire it, little spot Of free earth
that it may call lis own--lhat will be an
asylum in times of adversely, from which
the mother and the children, old age and
infancy, can still draw susenance, and
obtain protection, though mlslorunes may
rob them Of all else, and they feel they
are still free, still entitled to walk the
green earth, aud breathe the free air Of
heaven, in defiance of the potency and
power of accumulated wealth and the
dOmineering Of the pretending and ambi.
Iious, The saCIedness Of that consecra-
ted spot will make them warriors in times
Of external strife. These shocks of corn,
said Aenophen, inspire those who raise
them to defend them. The largest Of them
in the field is prize exhibited III the middle
of the stage 10 crown the conqueror. Sc
cu;e home 10 every family whose labor
may obtain one against the weakness, vi
ces, or mlslorlunes OF he falher, and you
will rivet The affection of the child in years
Of manhood by a stronger bond lhan any
consideration that could exist lie will
remember his early youth, the stream up
on whose lowry banks lie felt mothers
kiss and a mothers love, and the green
spo, within that little homestead where
sleep the love and the lost"

Profanity.

Profanity in child is a terrible thing.
We encountered lad some six or eight
years Old on the street the other day, who
was swearing terribly at companion no
one in "lhe army of Flanders" ever induI-
,ged in fouler profanity than this mere
child. Where he had learned so to pro-
fame the name Of the Deity we do not
know; but if he has parents-a mother
who loves him and father who cherish
cs great hopes for his luture-we pity
them. Their boy can never be anything
else than curse and a shame so long as
his lips utter blasphemies. The swearer,
however proud or elegant he may be
however elevated his social position, has
nothing of the true gentleman in his ma
ture, and the halo of Divinity vii! never
cOnsecrate his achievements.
Let no boy indulge profanity, in the
hope to acquire all appearance Of manIi-
ness, for the good and the true will re-
gard him as blot on Gods beautiful
earth, and will shun him as pestilence
Wherever he may walk the flowers will
wiher under his tread, and his memory
will be in the hearts of men bitter thing
forever.
