TIE MINSTREL.

One morning, IN The month Of May,
An eyed musician passed this way,
With trembling limbs and locks Of grey.
One might have guessed, some ancient Bard
OF late had iouneyod hlihoFward,
Add stayed to sing, on the green sward.
NoPoo,s wand Or garb wore ho-
Nor harp nor Tyre to wake gloo-
The badge he bore Of Minstrolsy
A violin, the Minotrsl'5 pride,
Was now, as ever, BY his side,
And when he played, the birds would hIdol
A tender girl, Of fragile size,
Attlrsd in tasteful, rustic guias,
VIII roam with him until he dies.
Airily us mountain roe,
Her Footsteps chased tho magic bow
The tfa5s she trod ceased not to grow!
Then sounds went up that 'wlldered art
Sad, mellow tones, to nielt the heart
Aud cadence soit swift tears TO start,
Eolian notes charmed al the space,
And moved upon The old mans facet
The maiden danced with mate bless grace.
The dance has ceassd-on village green
No more the hoary Mlnstrol's seen,
Aud heard no more HE violin.
All, none may wake the wondrous strain,
That sham'd the sOug-birds from tho plain,
And they are coming back again!

How 10 Treat 3 VIC.


First, get a wife; secondly, be patient.
You may have great trials and perplex-
tiles in your business with the world;
but do not therefore, carry to your home
a clouded or contracted brow. Your
wife may have many trials, which, though
of less magnitude, may have been as
hard to bear. A kind, conciliating word,
a tender look, will do wonders in ohas-
ing from her brow all clouds of gloom.
You encounter your difficulties in the
open air, famed by heavens cool breez-
es; but your wife is often shut in from
these healthful influences, and her health
fails, and her spirits lose their elastic
ity But OH bear with her; she has tri-
ais and sorrows to which you are a stran-
ger, but which your tenderness can de-
prive Of all their anguish. Notice kind
ly her little attentions and efforts to pro
mote your comfort. Do not take them
all as a matter of course, and pass them
by, at the same time being very sure to
observe any omission of what you may
consider duty TO you Do not treat her
with indifference, If you would not scar
and palsy her heart, which, Watered by
kindness, would, to the latest day of
your existence, throb with sincere and
constant affection. Sometimes yield
your wishes to hers. She has prefer
enoes as strong as you, and it may be
just as trying to yield her choice as to
you. Do you find it hard 10 yield some
tines Think you it is not difficult for
her 70 give up aL0ays} If you never
yield to her wishes, there is danger that
she will think you are selfish, aud care
only for yourself; and with such feelings
she cannot love as she might Again,
show yourself manly, so that your wife
can look up 70 you, and feel that you
will act nObly, and that she can cOnfde
in your Judgment.

Good Counsel.


Its not by mere study, by the mere
accumulation Of knowledge, that you
can hope for eminenoe. Mental disci-
plino, the exercise Of the faculties of
the mind, the quiokening Of your ap-
prehension, the strengthening of your
memory, the forming Of a sound, rapid,
and discriminating Judgment, are of
even more Importance than the store Of
learning. Practice the economy oftime.
Consider time, like the faculties Of your
mind, a precious estate that every mo-
ment Of IL we'll applied is put out to on
ez0rbitant interest. The zest of amuse-
ment itself and the successful result
Of application, depend 10 a great meas
ure, upon the economy Of time Esti-
mate, also, force Of habit Exercise a
constant, an unremitting vigilance in
the requirement Of habit in matters
that are apparently Of entire indifer-
euce--that, perhaps, are really so, in
dependent of the habits they engender
It is by the neglect Of such triaes that
bad habits are acquired, and that the
mind by tolerating negligence and pro-
orastinatiOn in matters of small account
but frequent occurrence -- matters Of
which the world takes no notice-be-
comes accustomed TO the same defects
in matters of higher Importance BY
motives yet more urgent, by higher and
puret aspirations by the duty Of obe-
dienoe to the will of God, by the aw-
ful account you will have to render, not
merely Of moral actions, but Of facul-
ties intrusted to you for improvement
by all these high arguments do I con-
jure you $50 to number your days, that
you may apply your heart unto wis
dom"--uGto that wisdom which, di-
reoting your ambition to the noble end
Of bene6ting mankind, and teaching
humble reliance on the merits and on
the mercy Of your Redeemer, may sup
port you in the "time of your wealth.
and in "the hour Of death, and in the
day Of judgment" may comfort you
with the hope Of deliverance. -ISir

A Young Lady Forty Eight Hours
in a Trance.

A Young Lady Forty Eight Hours
in n Trance.
On Thursday evening last at the al-
tar in a Methodist Church, in Pough-
keepsie, New York a young lady, aged
nineteen years. suddenly fell in trance.
She was Immediately raised up, when it
was noticed that she had every appear
ance and feeling Of a corpse, save that
she slightly breathed. She was convey
ed to her residence and medical aid sug-
gested; but, as the account says
The preacher objected, saying that
Jesus Christ had thrown her into
this mysterious state, and he will at his
own time raise her to testify to his good
ness. She remained in this state until
Saturday evening, excepting a slight in
.ci1ent which occurred on Friday after
noon, when she suddenly lifted up her
hand and made three efforts to clutch at
something, when the arm fell back over
the head board of the bed. Two or
three Of the women who were in the
house attempted to replace the arm up
ION the bed, but we're unable to bend or
move it. On Saturday evening a num-
Der Of the members were in the house,
singing her favorite hymn, when she
suddenly lifted up her hands, and cried
out: "Glory, hallelujahw She then
turned to one of her friends, and, call
ing her by name, said. Repent, re-
pent Oh, if you had seen what have
you would not live another moment in
your sins, but would pray to God to
have mercy upon you. I have been in
Heaven; Heaven is tree; it is lit up
with the glory of God and around the
throne were thousands Of angels, sing
ing sweetly and praising the King Of
Heaven. Jesus came past and spoke TO
me. saw the great gulf and could
scarcely see the bottom of it" On
Friday night a number of Christians
we're in the house, singing and pray
ing all night She was very weak when
she awoke from the trance, but was
strong enough to attend church yester-
day morning This wonderful case was
Witnessed by scores in Poughkeepsie,
and considerable excitement is caused
thereby in that city.

Gated by the result Of the recent election
in Sc. Louis. We have a still better in
dioation Of the advance Of public seuti-
ment in the election of Gardenhire,
Mayor Of Jefferson City. Gen. Garden
hire is a thorough going emancipatiou-
ist, and his published speeches against
slavery and in favor of freo-labor are
producinga wonderful effect amongst
the masses in this State. The people
are learning that friends of frce-labor
are not negro slaves, and as the public
mind becomes enlightened, prejudices
arc dissipated and the masses begin to
realize that the true interests Of Missou-
ri can only be secured and advanced by
the triumph Of the friends of free-labor
This conviction is becoming very strong
in the northeastern part Of the State,
and ere long will be driven TO embrace
the principles of freo-labor as the best
means Of advancing the interests Of the
l0hite people.

affair took place at ball given by the
De Soto Assembly at Saranak Hill, at
the North East corner Of 8th and Cal

progress a young woman named Ada
line Sewell, who was engaged in dane
ing, suddenly fell upon her face upon
the floor. Her companions hastened to

ball dress, was removed to the Four
teenth Ward Station House, and from
there it was carried to her late residence,
No. 1924 North 10th street, above Gil
rard avenue. The deceased was thirty
six years Of age. Her sudden death is
attributed to disease Of the heart, aud
the sad eonsummation was probably has
tened by the exercise in which she was
INDUCING.
Coroner Frenner held an inquest on
the case to-day 1t seems that the de-
ceased was dancing the "Lancer's Qua
drille" at the time she fell dead. Her
