Don't Stay Long"

1t is rarely indeed that we have read any
thing more truthfully pathetic than the sub
joined waf which we find floating among
our exchanges
Don't stay long, busband,' said young
wife, tcnderly, in my presence one evening,
as her husband was preparing to go out.
The words themselves were insignificant,
but the look Of melting fondness with which
they were accompanied spoke volumes. It
told all the whole vast depths Of woman's
! love-of her grief when, the light Of his
smile, the source Of her JOY, beamed not
brightly upon her.
Don't stay long, husband-and I fancied
I saw the loving, gentle wife, sitting alone,
anxiously counting the moments Of her hus
bands absence every few moments run
ming TO the door to see fho was in sight,
and, finding that he was not, I thought I
could hear her exclaiming, in disappointed
tones, Not yet
Don't stay long, husband'-and I again
thought I could see the young wife rocking
nervously in the great armchair, and weep.
ing as though her heart would break, as
her thoughtless fbrd and master prolonged
his stay to a wearisome length of time.
Oh you that have wives to say, Don't
stay when you 60 forth, think. of them
kindly when you are mingGpg 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 quiet home, blessed
with such womau,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 a loving heart
whose music is hushed when you are nb-
sent-here is soft breast for you to lay
your head upon, and here are pure lips, un-
soiled by sin, that will pay you with kisses
for coming back soon.' . a...

Live For Something.


Live for something. be not idle
Look about thee for employ;
SIT not down to useless dreaming
Labor is the sweetest joy.
Folded hands are ever weary,
Selfish hearts are never gay,
Life for thee hath many duties
Active be, then, while you may.
Scatter blessings in thy pathway!
Gentle words and cheering smiles
Better are than gold or silver,
With their grief-dispcllng wiles.
AS the pleasant sunshine faileth
Ever on the greatful earth,
So let thy sympathy aud kindness
GLADDEN. well the Garkcned hearth.
Hearts there are oppressed and weary ;
Drop the tear Of sympathy,
Whisper words ofhcpe and com fort,
Give n.d thy reward shall be
JOY unto thy soul returning
From this perfect fountain head;
Freely, rs thou freely givest,
Shall ,he'grateful light he shed.

Nearly four years ago the Minnesota Wsskly
Times camo before the public, and from that
period to the present il has been battling for
the cause of freedom and the rights of man,
regardless of the ties of party or the sneers and
jibes of partizan leaders. BY pursuing con-
sistent and straightforward career, by persist
ent devotion to principles, it has won it's way
to public favor, and notwithstanding it is the
youngest of the city press, it has attained a
very large and rapidly increasing circulation.
This has been accomplished, not by a system
of self-laudation, but by the spontaneous pat
ronage of its friends throughout Minnesota and
the Eastern States.
The Times has ever advocated, and Will con-
tinue to advocate, the cause OF the people, and
in doing so it has advocated the cause Of tho
great Republican party whose principles it has
warmly espoused and will defend TO the best
of its ability. 1t never has and never will PAN
der to the vices Of the vicious, and never finch
