THE TWO HOMES.

Two men, on their way home, met at a
street crossing, and then walked on togeth-
er. They were neighbors and friends.
This has been very hard day. said
Mr., Freeman, in gloomy voice And as
they walked homeward they discouraged
each other, and made darker the clouds
that obscured their whole horizon.
Good evening" was at last said hurried
ly; and the two men passed into their
homes
Mr.. Walcott entered the room where his
wife and children were gathered, and with
out speaking to any one, seated himself in
chair, and leaning his head back, closed
his eyes. His countenance wore a sad,
weary, exhausted look. He had been seat
ed thus for only few minutes, when his
wife said, in fretful voice:
More trouble again
What is the matter now 2 asked Mr.
Walcott, almost starting.
John has been sent home from school
What Mr. Walcott partly rose from
his chair
He has been suspended for bad con-
duct.
'Oh, dearF groaned Mr. Walcott, where
is he?'
Up in his room; | sent him there as
soon as he came home You'll have to do
something with him. He'll be ruined if
he goes ON in this way. I'm out of all
heart with him
Mr. Walcott, excited as much by the
manner in which his wife conveyed unpleas-
ant information as by the information itself
started up, under the blind impulse of the
moment, and going to the room where John
had been sent on coming home from
school, punished the boy severely, and this
without listening to the explanations which
the poor child tried make him hear.
Father, said the boy, with forced calm
ness, after the cruel stripes had ceased Il
wasn't to blame, and if you will go with
me to the teacher, can prove myself in
nocent'
Mr.. Walcott had never known his son to
tell an untruth, and the words fell with a
rebuke upon his heart.
Very well, we will see about that he
answered, with forced sternness and leav.
ing the room he went down stairs, feeling
much more uncomfortable than when he
went up. Again he seated himself in the
large chair, and again leaned back his weary
head and closed his heavy eyehds Sad
der was his face than before. AS he sal
thus, his eldest daughter, in her sixteenth
year, came and stood by him.
She held paper in her hand.
Father he opened his eyes; here's

to take to school with me in the morning?
Il am afraid not, answered Mr. Walcott
half in despair.

money tomorrow, and it mortiies me to b.

CAN YOU TELL

Can you tell how many stars are glowing,
Where the blue sky Is unfurledl
Can you tell how many clouds are going,
Flying over all the world?
God the Lord, their great Creator,
Were their numbers millions greater,
lie could all their numbers tell.
Can You tell how many notes are playing
In the bright warm sunbeam?
Can you tell how many fsh are straying
In the ocean aud streaml
In the air and in the ocean,
aod has given them all their motion,
That they now so happy are.
Can you tell how many, many children
Daily from their bed arisei
Can you tell whuse great and generous bounty
Every daily want supplies?
God has made them, and he sees them,
And his kindness never leaves them,
Yes He knows and loves US all.

THE LOVED ONES FAR AWAY.

Our festal songs are ringing loud,
Our hearts are full of giee,
We welcome back our friends of Old,
We hail our jubilee;
But sadness checks our Joyous notes.
And softer pours our lay,
While thinking of the loved ones.
The loved ones far away.
The spring is here with op'ning flow'rs.
The grass is springing green.
And all the young and gay are met.
4 Joyous crowd ween;
Dut some, and they the loveliest,
Are not with Us to-day:
We spoke the word Of parting
To the loved ones far away.
And some are rowing east and weS!,
Or on the sounding sea;
But peace and love and Joy to them
Wherever they may be;
Their mem'ry rises In our hearts,
Upon this fcstal day;
We pray for Gods rich blessing
On the loved ones far away.

common. Mr.. d. Cross of Fairfield, who
recently visited Eaton county, related to US
an affair which occurred four miles east Of

of maternal care by mare for her colt that
is rarely exhibited by the horse kind if IL
was not hairbreadth adventure A mare
with colt by her side, was feeding in a
pasture, when she was approached by three
bears an old one and two cubs, nearly full
grown, Alarmed for the safety of her colt
the mare forgot the usual fear Of the horse
for these animals, and attacked them with
such vigor that they were forced to retreat.
They were pursued so closely that one was
compelled to seek safety, and remain in
tree until the owner of the mare, who had
watched the whole proceedings, went to
his house for gun, returned and shot it,

The sequel, so far as Mr. Ellsworth is con-
cerned, is shown in the following record, ta-
ken from the same paper:
United States of America, Indictment
vs.. tor passing
Loren A. Ellsworth. Spurious Coin.
In the District Court held at Williamsport,
Sept. 20, 1858. Hon. Thomas Erwin, Presi-
ding Judge.
The prosecution examined their witnesses,
when District Attorney Roberts informed the
Court that all their testimony had been given,
and it was not such evidence upon which he
could ask conviction.
The Court charged the Jury that the Dis
trict Attorney had very properly abandoned
the prosecution, and Instructed the Jury to
bring in a verdict of not guilty without leay-
! ing the court room, which was done.
The only criminal charge against L. A.
Ellsworth has been the subject of much talk
and excitement in Williamsport for months
past. Considering the standing Mr.. Ellsworth
occupies, and the extraordinary steps taken
to secure his conviction, we eannotfeel other
wise than highly gratitied at the result.

who recognized him, and delivered over to Deputy
Sheriff Powell He had come down the river on q

states that the deed was committed in the heat Of
quarrel, when both we're intoxicated. He says that
since the murder he has enjoyed no peace of mind,
had no settled home, and could End rest no where
he wandered. He prefers to receive the punishment
due to his awful crime rather than endure the lash
ings Of guilty conscience He is yet quite youth,
being not more than nineteen years of age. He was
committed to jail aud will be conveyed to Gibson
