Light after light goes out. One evil star,
Luridly glaring through the smoke of war,
AS in the dream. of the Apocalypse.
Drags others down. Let us not weekly weep,
Nor rashly threaten. Give us grace to keep
Our faith and patience: wherefore shoe we leap
On one hand into fratricidal fight.
Or. on the other, yield eternal right.
Frame lies by law, and good and i'll confound:
What fear we: Safe ON Freedoms vantage

Our feet are planted let us there remain
In unrevengefuf calm. no means untried
Which truth can sanction. no uSt claim denied
The sad spectators of a suicide
They break the links of Union shall we light
The fires of hell to weld anew the chain
Draw we not even now 4 freer breath
As from our shoulders falls a load Of death
Loath>ome as that the doomed Mazentius bore
Why take we up the accursed thing aerin
Pity, forgive, but urge them back no more
Who, drunk with passion. hoist disunion's rag
With its vile reptile blazon. Let us press
The golden cluster on our brave old flag
In closer union. and. if numbering less.
Brighter shall shine the stars which still remain

4 Fire in the Rear.

The intelligent Washington correspondent
of the Springfield Republican, writes to that
paper as follows, under date of January
o3
The greatest speech of the session was de-
liyered Yesterday in the house by MIR Glenn
ems of Virginia, the man whom Wise of the
Richmond Enquirer shot 1t VAS the most
powerful and anti-secession speech delivered
in Congress this winter, and created intense
excitement. 1t was a perfect bomb-shell in
the camp of the Virginia disunionists. They
were unable to restrain their tempers. and
one of them, Martin, pronounced the speech
to be traitorous. He said this in a violent
manner, and entirely out of order. 1t seem
ed for 4 few minutes as If an attack on Glenn
ems would be made OH the floor of the House,
but the northern democrats stood bv their
southern comrade bravely. Logan of Hi
nois was evidently "spilin' for a fight with
Martin and two or three more of the >eces-
sionists. IF it is traitorous speech" shou-
ted Logan, fiercely. "you can't answer it. nol
any other man in Virginia" The scene vas
intensely exciting for few moments, and
the northwestern democrats were very lndlg-
nant at the conduct of the secessionlSts. For
things have come to such pass here that no
southern democrat dare defend the Union
and if he does so he is called traitor, liar
and a poltroon. The South is utterly mad
tor by this conduct it estranses the very
men who have heretofore been its trusted al
lies. 1t was a significant fact that after
Clemens had finished his speech, while the
republican members were taking things qui-
etly, the northern and southern democrat.
were full of fight. The northern democrat,
stood by Clemens; the southern democrats
wanted to insult him, but were cowed by tht
pluck of the western democrats. 1t onl,
shows what will be the result, should W.
come to civil war The northern democrat.
will do most of the fghting-see if they dom
and will be the last men to cry "peace."

A Sad Case..FOunded on Fact.

The Rev Charles BeardmOre was In trou-
BILE. He was the pastor of tlourshing church
in Barberville, whittier he had gone immedi-
ately on leaving the theological school. For
two years he had given entire satisfaction,
and his relations with his people were of the
pleasantest kind. But one morning his equi
librium was upset. He had call from his
senior decon, brother Tonsor. brother
Beardmore," had deacon Tonsor said to him,
Il came to see you about a subject which has
been weighing on my mind for some time
| hope you'll excuse me for mentioning it
But can't hel thinking your influence a.
mong our people would be much increased, if
you didn't-wear moustache. 1t isn't the
custom, generally, for ministers, and it makes
good deal of talk. You might let your
beard stay, but the moustache does rather
seem to me like an offending member. Have
| made my meaning clear ," "Yes, think
you have-to hair replied the young pas
tor, who thanked him for his advice, and
hade him pleasant good morning. HIS
countenance changed as soon as the door
closed upon the retreating form of the dea-
con. "Here's pretty how-to-do /" ejacu,a-
ted he walking up and down his study. $50
I've got to farm out my face to suit deacon
Tonsor, have | ? Expect he'll advocate sha-
wing the top of my head next, like Catholic
priest. Suppose don't want to go through
life lathering and scraping, whose business is
it but mine, should like to know ?" He
soon became calmer, however, and wisely re-
solved to consult Mrs Beardmore. She coun-
Selled him to wait week before taking any
decisive step. He did so. On the following
Sabbath he went through his duties as usual.
The temperance in the pulpit of the offend
ing hirsute appendage deepened the feeling
! in the minds of deacon Tonsor and others
On the other hand, the minister's moustache
was not without its champions. The congre-
cation was divided into two factions on the
subject. Even households were at variance
The ladies generally rallied to the side of
their pastor, the younger sisters declaring
! that, with moustache, the minister locked
sweet and if he would only let his hair
grow long, he would look "lovely." The tenn
pest ragged hotter and hotter. At length it
reached the ministers ears. "After all, said
he, ut is too small a matter to make discord
about" He retired to his study with a reso-
lutte air. He took out his lazor and honed
1t carefully. There was an unwonted brill
fancy in his eye as he stepped to the looking
glass. The foam flew from his lips. He
brandished the razor in the air, and-but
what occurred at this momentous crisis is
neither here nor there. Suffice it to say, the
division in the church continued to WIDEN
The chasm was too great to be closed by any
thing shor; of the whole Curtius. Mr. Beard
more was compelled to seek another place OF
usefulness, and thus pleasant pastoral rela-
ton was dissolved by tie minister's nous

U The Baptist Chronicle, New York,
thus gives the following account of a singu-
lar incident that lately happened at the Full
ton street MONDAY prayer meeting in that
city. wh.re they have rule that controverted
subjects shall not be introduced. by which is
meant simply that nobody in that meeting
shall obey the injunction of Paul in Hebrews
1873: A German brother, in the course of
an earnest prayer prayed, % Lord, forgive
US our great national sin'-ding, ding went
the leaders bell. The Teutonic brother did
not understand the meaning of the Interrupt
ton, and SO reiterated his petition, 20 Lord,
forgive US our great national SIN Ding,
ding. went the bell again, and this time the
speaker forthwith sat down in astonishment.
At the close of the hour he made his way up
to the leaders desk. and thus accosted that
individuals: Why did you stop my PRAYER: p
NV good brother. YOU know controyerted
subjects are forbidden in these meetings.
Did pray upon controverted subject !"
Yes. You know slavery is subject about
which there is great difference of opinion,
and it would cause ii feeling TO have it men
toned in these meetings. Slavery? said
nothing about slavery was about to ask
forgiveness for our national sin of swearing.'
All, was it so indeed? Ii was all a mistake,
then. But. YOU know that by our great ma
tional s;n.' slavery is generally understood.
I'm very sorry.

.F The Tribune desires to do honor to

through and disappeared under the ice. The
boy Champlin Witnessing the accident ran to
the rescue. He met the body of his little
friend tio,ting rapidly under and against the
transparent and welding ice, whirled about,
and rushed in straight line little way be-
low, where was cake of strong old ice, seat
cd himself safely upon this, and commenced
kicking the weak ice TO pieces in front of him
with his boot neels. BY the time the floating
and dying form reached the hole of rescue,
this wise and ready-witted child had made
for it, Charlie dropped down to his waist in
the water. With the last instinct of life Lii;
tie Mettier clung to his feet. Lifting him.
self to his feet again, Charlie fastened upon
his charge, drew him TO the opening, and
pulled him out of death into life. Twice be-
fore, while living at HiSSanum, in the Sum-
mcr of 1859, this same brave lad Jumped in
to the Connecticut river, and rescued other
boys while struggling in deep war.-Neic

Printers Diseases.

Many printers are in the habit of holding
types between their teeth. When the types
are damp, and especially when they are new,
substance is on their surface which, when
applied to the lips, causes troublesome fis-
sures, which sometimes end in incurable can
GERS, which eat life away by piecemeals in
the slow process of weary months.
This same substance sometimes finds its
way to the inner side of the lips BY means of
the tongue and saliva, causing troublesome
tumors, which infame, ulcerate, and rapidly
assume the form of torturing cancer The
only remedy is prevention, by keeping the
type out of the mouth. The most common
OF ali diseases among printers are those of
the air-passages, of which bronchitis is the
most frequent. Next TO that, Inflammation
OF the lungs and consumption, in consequence
of the bent position of their bodies, which
prevents full, deep breathing. when the lungs
from inaction become debilitated, and unable
to resist impressions from cold, to which
printers are SD liable, in consequence of their
rooms being kept warm, and their inatten-
ton to proper rules when leaving them.-
Being so much in the composing room, they
become forgetful of the cold without, and at
the close of the day, in that tired, weary con-
dtion that follows ten hours labor, they
come out on the street, stand around the Of
tice-doors talking with one another and look
ing around, and before they are aware of it,
they are often chilled through, and thus,
through mere inattention, the foundation is
laid for the fatal ailments enumerated. Near
" one-fourth Of printers die from consump-
tive forms of disease. Hernia is common,
especially among pressmen. Dimness of
sight, short-sightedness and weakness of
eyes, are very common, in consequence of
the constant straininS of that organ, and its
exposure to artificial light. Fissures and
hard Jumps often form on the forefinser and
thumb of the right hand from handling damp
type. But the great disease which sweeps
so many of them into premature grave is
consumption, but which would not occur With
tithe Of the frequency if the following few
precautions were habilually taken:
First, regularity in eating and bodily hab-
its. Second, pat on all the extra clothing
before going into the street, avoid stopping
an instant, but move on at brisk pace with
the mouth closed, so that Instead of a dash
of cold air going in upon the lungs at each
breath to chill them, it may be first warmed,
by being compelled to pass around through
the nostrils.-Hal's Journal Of Health.

Northern capital and enterprise, her steam
packets would not have been built. Yet ev-
cry possible provocation is being given to
drive this capital and enterprise away. As
the trade of Charleston has declined, so that
of Savannah has been steadily increasing
Notification in 1882 made many of her citi-
zens beggars but rebellion in 1861 is pau
perizing all. The taxation and forced loans
now exacted are synonymous with ruin.
1t is instructive to remember that various
Southern cities have been actually blotted
out from the map. St Marys, in Maryland,
is row desolation. The site of jamestown
can scarcely be identified. Sunbury, short
distance from Charleston, was once flour
ishing seaport bat her inhabitants blocked
the harbor to prevent the approach of an en-
envy, and though better port than Charles
ton, yet the city has long since been aban-
doned to solitude. In each of these cases a
single calamity was sufficient to produce ut
ter ruin. But in the case Of Charleston, an
accumulation of calamites is seen to be
hanging over her. How long she may sur
vive under them it may be difficult to say
Unfortunately, the heaviest of them are self
imposed, and therefore the less likely to be
acknowledged But it will be safe to predict
that she can never entirely recover from the
depth of ruin into which her present mad
ness is fast precipitsting her. She will linger
on, gradually sinking into insignifcance, un-
I'll ships cease to enter her proftless harbor,
and buzzards hold exclusive dominion in her
grass-grown streets, black spot npon the
map. it may be, but blacker one in the his
tory of human folly. No Northern city has
experienced such fate. How much the
frenzy of South Carolina is calculated to ex-
cite our pity, even when her treason shall
have ceased to receive our forbearance.-N.

V Here is very funny ;ncident:-A
Frenchman, resolved to be rid of life, went a
little before high tide to post set up by the
seaside He had provided himself with 4
ladder, rope, pistol, a bundle of matches,
and vial OF poison. Ascending the ladder,
he tied one end of the rope to the post, and
the other end around his neck; then he took
the poison. set his clothes on fire, put the
muzzle of the pistol to his head and kicked
away the ladder. In kicking down the lad, |,
der, he sloped the pistol SO that the ball
missed his head and cut through the rope by
which he was suspended; he fell into the
sea, thus extinguishing the flames of his
clothes. and the sea water which he involun-
tarily swallowed counterscted the poison, and
thus, in spite of his precautions, he remained
unhanged, unshot, imprisoned, unburned
and undrowned.
