"Don't STAY Long"

It is rarely indeed that we have heard any
thing more truthfully pathetic than the sub
joined waif which we fad floating among
our exchanges. Would that every husband
might read it.
Don't stay long, husband" said young
wife tenderly in my presence one evening
as her husband was pFeparing to 60 out
The words themselves we're insignificant, {,
but the look of melting fondness with which
they were accompanied spoke volumes. 1t
told the whole vast depth of woman's love
of her grief vhen the light of his smile, the
source of all kr5oy, beamed not brightly
.Don't -stay1 dong husband" and faneisd
saw the loving, gentle wife sitting anx-
iously counting the moments of her husbanSs
absence, every few moments running 20 the
door to see if he was in sight, and finding
he was not, thought could hear her ex-
claiming in disappointed tones "not yet
"Don't stay long, husba nd" and again
though. could see the young wife rocking
nervousIy in the great arm chair, and weep
ing as though her heart would break, as her
! thoughtless "lord and master" prolonged his
stay to wearisome length of time.
o, ye that have wives to say-"Don't stay
long," when you 60 forth, think of them
kindly when you are mingling IN the busy
hive of life, and try, just little, to make
their homes and hearts happy, for they are
gems too seldom replaced. You cannot find
amid the pleasures of the world the peace
and joy that q ,ict home blessed with such
a woman's presence will afford.
"Don't stay long, husband" and the
young wife's look seemed to say-for here
in your own sweet home is loving heart
whose music is hushed when you are absen,
here is soft breast for you to lay yor head
upon and here are pure lips unsoiled by sin
that will pay you with kisses Ior coming
back soon.

WEBSTER had an anecdote of old Father
Searl. the minister of his boyhood, which
has never been in priat, and which is too
good to be lost. 1t was customary then 10
wear buckskin breeches in cool weather.
Sunday morning in autumn, Father Searl
brought down his from the garrett; but the
wasps had taken possession during he sum-
mer, and were having a nice time OF it in
them. By dint of effort he got the intru-
ders out Ind dressed for the meeting. But
while reading Scripture to the congregation,
he felt dagger from one of the enraged
small WASTED fellows, and jumped around
tho pulpit, slappng his thighs. But the
more he slapped and danced the more they
stung. The people thought him crazy, and
were in commotion as to what to do; but he
explained the matter by saying: "Brethrsn
don 1 be alarmed; the ,Oord of the Lord is in
my mouth, and the deua is in my breeches!
Webster always told it with great glee te
the ministers.

Another Slave at the Ply mouth

At the close of the morning service at
Plymouth Church, last Sunday, Mr..
Beecher announced that mis- congregation.
on going out. would find a colored man at
the door who would hold out his hat to
them for ail in the purchase of his children
from slavery The man had bought his
own freedom, and had been voluntarily pre-
sented with that of his wife, by kind
hearted master. Several children still re-
mained in slavery, who could be purchased
at so low price as to hold out the hope
that. with the assistance of friends, the
necessary amount be speedily ob,ained--
"Hs modestly asked" said Mr. Beecher,
"if he cosla stand at my church. shd
simply hold out his hat. L told him in
Gods name to stand there, and not to
bulge an inch. There you will find him;
and when you pass out and witness his
mute appeal, remember ths:, though there
appears only the dusky form of an uncul-
tivated and lowly man, there is enshrlned
within it the unseen person of the Lord
Jesus Christ, saying unto every one OF you.
.Inasmuch as ye do it unto the least OF
these, We do it unto me-" He was large
fine-looking black man; and, as the con-
gregatioh gathered around him after dis
missal, and poured their contributions into
his hat he thanked them with alternate
smiles and tears. We are happy to say
that the contribution amounted to within

Evening.

There are two periods in the life OF man
in which the evening hour is peculiarly in-
youth and in old age. In
youth we love it for its mellow moonliuht,
It's millions of stars, its thin rich shooting
shades, it's still seregity; amid those who
can commence with our loves, or twine the
wreath of friendship, while there is none to
bear US witness but the heavens aud the
spirits that hold their endless Sabbath
there--or look into the deep bosom os Gre
alton, spread abroad the wide canopy above
US, and look and listen till we can almost
see and hear the waving wings and songs
of the other world. To youth. jevening ia
delightful 1t accords with the flow Of his
light spirits, the fervor of his fancy, and
sottness of his hear. Evening is also the
delight OF virtuous sge; it seems an emblem
to the close of busy hfe-ssrene, placid
mild, the impress of his grsa Create
stamped upon it; it spreads its quiet wing
under the grave, and seems to promise iha
all shall be peace beyond it.

Excitement at Antioch College.
The following we clip from The Colxm

ihe 'oioWihS We CLIP Hom AHe (othH-
bus Fact:
We understand that about eight or ten
lily expelled from Antioch College; it is
supposed on account of little humorous
sheet called The Probe, which appeared
during commencement week in June last.
In this first number of the Yellow Springs
Punch some witticisms were perpetrated
q: the expense of some members of the
faculty, as we'll as of other citizens: yet
it was not supposed that these jeu d'esprifs
would be laid to heart.
The President Of the College. however,
it is said, looked at this little sheet through
serious spectacles, and l4pt only expelled
several of the students. but ordered their
rooms to be forced open ard their furni-
ture and effects elected fro5r9he building.
One OF the students, therefore, caused
writs to be served on Mr.. Mann, thu Pres
ident, and Mr.. Birch, Assistant Treasurer,
summoning them to appear before Justice
Hamilton on Wednesday, the 29th ult.--
At the time specified the defendants ap.
peared, and requested that a jury be i'm
panneled.
An hour was then spent in selectipg
jurymen, after which the defendants moved
a postponement of the trial, affirming that
two important witnesses were absent; bui
! it appeared that said witnesses were moi
in town when the transactions alluded to
took place, they having lett some days
previously! The counsel of the plaintiff,
lawyers Hunt and Spence, of Springfield
offered to admit the testimony of the a5.
sent witnesses, and urged that the trial
proceed To this the defendants and theiI
counsel, lawyer Howard, of Xenia, objected
and urged the postponement of the suit
thirty days.
Several speeches we're made on both
sides, but as the defendants made affidavit
that the witnesses alluded to were very
important, and their testimony material tc
the issue, the Justice said that although il
seemed hard for The plaintiff to wait thirty
days, yet in point of law he must decide
for the postponement.
These proceedings caused a tremendous
excitement among the students and through
ou! the town, and many of the leading cit
izens, and it is thought large majority
side with students, believing that the Pres
ident had acted in an uncalled for and ar
btrary manner.
