MY HOME is IN HEAVEN.

My home is in Heaven, my rest is not here
Then why should murmur when trials are near
Be hushed, my dark spirit, the worst that can come
But shortens thy journey and hastens thee home.
1t is not for me to be seeking my bliss,
And building my hopes in region Ike this
l look for a city which hands have not piled;
I pant for country by SIN indebted.
The thorn and the thistle around me may gov;
/ would no, lie down upon roses below:
l ask not portion, seek not my rest,
Till find them forever on jesus breast.
Afilictiors may damp me, but cannot destroy;
One glimpse OF his love turns them all inio ioy:
And the btterest tears, if he smile but on them,
Like dew in he sunshine, turn diamond or gem.
Let doubt, then, and danger, my prog ess oppose
They only make Heaven more sweet at The close
Come JOY, or come sorrow, whate'er may befall.
One hour with my God will make up for it all.
A scrip on my back, and staff in my hand,
march on in haste through an enemy's land;
The road may be rough. bot il cannot be long,
And I'll smooth II with hope, aud Pl cheer
with SOM.

"Oh, king, who can tellP AT the time

"Oh, king, who can tell AT the time
to which the story has come, the locusts
have cleared away small space, it laay be
cubit, each way round the inside Of the
hole, and the air is still dark with locusts
on all sides. But let the king have patience,
and, no doubt, we shall come to the end Of
them in time"
Thus encouraged, the king listened for
another full year. the story-teller still going
on as before: "And then another locust
went in and carried off another grain Of
corn, and then another locust went in and
carried off another grain Of corn, and then
another locust went in and carried of
another grain of corn, and then another To-
Gust went in and carried off another grain
of corn" till at last the poor king could
bear it no longer, and cried out
"Oh, man, that is enough Take my
daughter take my kingdom take any
thing everything; only let me hear no more
of your abominable locusts J"
And so the story-teller was married t
the kings daughter, and was declared hei
to the throne; and nobody ever expressed
wish to hear the rest of his story, for h
said it was impossible to come TO the othe
part of it till he had done with the loousts
The unreasonable caprice of the foolish kim
was thus overmatched by the ingenious de

Judge Sharkey.--An Extraordinary
Statement Concerning Him.

President Johnson lately appointed Judge
VIM. G. Sharkey, Provisional Governor of
Mississippi, and he is spoken of as can
didate for seat on the Supreme Bench of
the United States. The Cincinnati Times,
remarking upon the appointment of Judge
Sharkey TO the office he now occupies,
makes the following statement Of an extra
ordinary and revolving case, which was
passed on by him in the Mississippi court
some years ago: A planter was afflicted
with q loathsome disease. So offensive
(were the ulcers that he was deserted by his
white friends. and while thus afflicted and
forSaken, girl whom he owned a, a slave,
kindly and patiently waited upon him
dressed his ulcers, cleansed his psrson, and
watched over him until he eventually re-
covered. With gratitude and Election tc
his benefactor, he took her to Cincinnati
Ohio, executed TO her a deed ofnanumis-
sion, had it recorded, returned o Missis.
sippi, and married her in legal lom. They
lived together affectionately for many years
reared family of children, and as he lay
upon his deathbed, by will he divided his
property between his wife and children
His brothers, hearing of his death, came
forward and demanded his property. The
widow and children were indignant at the
demand. They, too, were seized and the
validity of that marriage was tried before
Judge Sharkey, Of that State, who decided
. that the whole matter was a fraud upon
slavery; that the property belonged to the
collateral heirs. His widow was sold by
the surviving brothers, the children were
bid off at public auction, and brother, moth
er and children now toll in chains OF sleep
in servile graves.

Two Young Ladies Drowned at Crystal
Lake

Lake.
On Thursday last, the Methodist Episco-
pal Sunday School, of Marengo, had pic
mic excursion to Crystal Lake. They APP
pear to have enjoyed themselves finely until
afternoon, when, having partaken of their
picnic dinner, Miss Addie Deitz, only
daughter of Supervisor P. w. Deitz, of
Marengo, Miss Lucy Adams and young
Mr.. Adams, son and daughter of SQUIRE
Adams, also of Marengo, started in small
boat for ride on the lake.
Before starting, they were warned that
the boat was not safe for more than two,
but nevertheless persisted in going. When
out some twenty rods from shore, they
were again told that the boat was unsafe.
They then concluded 10 return. On doing
so the wind being pretty strong, the water
came in at the stern of the boat, where Mr..
Adams was sitting, and he advised the
young ladies TO go 10 the other end. The
Fgrls were much alarmed, and instead Of
doing as directed, grasped each others
hands, ana came towards him. Immediate
| " the boa. eapsized, and all were thrown
into The water.
The scene was witnessed by large num-
bers on shore, and pole was thrown 10
their assistance. Mr.. Adams could not
swim, and barely saved himself by cllnging
to it. Misses Deitz and Adams sank im-
mediately on falling into the water, and
never rose. Efforts were made 10 rescue
them, but without avail. A short tim, or.
forwards, however, the bodies were recov-
cred.
The heat and the action of the water dis
colored the bodies very much, and they
were buried on Friday afternoon at Maren-
go, less than thirty-six hours after they had
left their homes, rejoicing in health and
youth, and looking forward to long life and
many happy days in the future. The de-
ceased were both exemplary members of the
Marengo Methodist Church, and teachers
