PRErTY WELL DoNE.--We have re.
ceived communication from friend
at McComb, telling avery large story
about man 80 years of age, who
walked from Defiance to that place

about 85 miles. The old man served
through the war of 1912, was in the
Mexican war, and served ITO days
in the late rebellion. He is said to
be very intelligent, with unimpaired
faculties, and is an out and out anti
johnson man. Why did not our cor
respondent give us his name, as we
do not publish communications 9th
erwise.

so that during court, the judge will

INFLUENCE OF AFFEcToN-There is a
good deal of canting about involuntary af
fection in the world, and all that but
young lady should never let such foolish
notions enter her head. She should allow
the pride of conscious strength of mind to
keep her above every foolish, vain and non
sensical preference towards this precious
fop, and that idle attendant on lady's
will She should lay it up in her heart as
an immutable principle, that no love can
last if not based upon right and calm es-
timation of good qualities; or at least, that
if the object upon which it is lavished be
not one whose heart and whose head are
both right, misery will surely be her por-
ton. A sudden preference for stranger
is very doubtful kind of preference, and
the lady who allows herself to be betrayed
into such silly kind of affection, without
knowing word of the mans character or
his position, is guilty of indiscretion which
not only reflects unfavorably upon her good
sense, but argues badly for the nature and
ground work of that affection.

A MIDNIGHT HYMN.

The authorship of the following beautiful hymn
( trusts is unknown. 1t was found treasured u
D an humble cottage in England;
In the mid silence of the voiceless night,
When, chased by airy dreams, the slumbers flee
Whom in the darkness doth my spirit seek,
o God! but Thee?
And if there be weight upon my breast
Some vague impression of the foregone-
Scarce knowing what it is, fly to thee
And lay it down.
Or if it be the heaviness that comes
In token of anticipated i'll,
Nv bosom takes no need of what it is,
Since it's Thy will.
For O! in spite of past and present care,
Or anything beside, how joyfully
Passes that almost solitary hour,
My God, with Thee!
More tranquil than the stiffness of the night,
More peaceful than the silence of that hour,
More blest than anything, my bosom lies
Beneath Thy power.
For what is there ON earth that | desire,
OF all that it can give or take from me2
OF whom in heaven does my soul seek,
0 God but Thee?
