Dream of a Quaker LADY.

There is beautiful story of a queer
old Quaker lady who was much addicted
to smoking tobacco She had INDUCED
In the habit until it had increased SO much
upon her that she not only smoked her
pipe large portion of the day, but fire.
quently sat up for this purpose in the
night. After one Of those nocturnal en-
tertainments, she fell asleep, and dreamed
that she died and approached heaven
Meeting an angel she asked him if her
name was in the book of life. He dis
appeared, and replied, on returning, that
be could not find it. "Oh !' said she
"Do look again; it must be there" He
examined again, but returned with a sor-
rowful face, saying, sit is not there. -
so" she said in agony, sit must be there
l have assurance that it is there Do look
again y The angel was moved to tears
by her entreatics, and again left her to
renew his search After long absence
he came back, his face radiant with joy,
and exclaimed, "We have found it; but
it was so clouded with tobacco smoke that
we could hardly see it !" The woman,
upon waking, Immediately threw ber pipe
away, and never INDUCED in smoking
again.

THE ROMANCE OF A POOR YOUNG MAN

THE ROMANCE OF a POOR YOUNG MAN
'EAsY COME, EASY CO."
The history of the Steele farm, and its
late AEner, is lesson to young men who
suddenly acquire wealth We copy from
the Oh City Daily Register:
"We noticed in brief, in Yesterdays
paper, the sale Of the John W. Steele,
more familiarly known as the Widow Me-
Clintock farm, by the u. S. Deputy Col
lector, to satisfy the claim of the Govern
ment for taxes due. 1t was bid in BY the
Government to $1,000. st previous
sale by the Sheriff of this county, $14,-
600 was stopped, the Government prov
ing prior claim. The claims against the
property are heavy. A brief history of
this farm may noOprove uninteresting to
large class Of our readers.
The widow MeCljntoek farm, consist
ing Of one hundred acres, is Immediately
opposite thedourishing town ofRouserile,
on Oil Greek. 1t was one of the first a.
mong the oil producing farms of the val
ley. The Van Slyke well, on this farm,
struck early in 1858, produced for some
time at the rate of $500 barrels of oil per
day. Besides these, there have been a
large number of smaller producing wells
on this farm. The leases obtained from
Mrs. McClntock expired with her death.
During her lifetime the farm was well
-nanaged and highly remuuerative. La
1861 Mrs. McChntock died her death
was caused by being badly burned whilo
kindling FIRE with crude OIL After her
death it was found by her viii that the
farm and all her possessions were left en-
tire to her adopted son, John w. Steele,
income of the farm, aceruing to the land
interest at the time of her death averaged
about $4,000. Ia the iron safe where
Mrs. MeClintock kept her money, was
found $4,000 in gold, and $4,000 in
greenbscks. All this fell to Mr.. Steele
as heir. He was a young man of fair
average principles, but uneducated. No
sooner had he obtained possession OF his
property, than he was surrounded with
parasites lie proved an easy victim TO
these sharpers, who went with him all the
time, and he give no heed 10 the counselS
of those who were his best friends. Tho
young millionaire's head was evidently
turned by his good fortune, as has been
said of many an older man who made his
"pile in oil, . and he was Of the impress
sion that his money woull accumulate too
rapidly unless it was actually thrown away,
and throw it away he did.

DAY AND NIGHT.

Day cried the Earth, AWAKE AWAKE,
And with rulers power
Summoned its legions to their tasks,
In city, vale and bower.
she bade the weary traveller rise,
And onward wend his way,
And raised the savage hunters bow
Against the flying prey.
She warned the merchant to his desk.
The student to his tome,
The sailor TO his toll and strife
Against the salt seas foam;
She called the farmer 10 his plough,
Amid the furrowed glade,
The whisker'd so dier fiom his tent
Forth TO his slaughter-trade;
The seamstress to her needle turn'd,
The sad-brow'd laborer bent,
And downward to his cavern dark
The mornful miner went.
The old man leaning on his staff
A quickening mandate feels;
And from Its cradle soft and warm,
The tottering infant steals.
Night speaks to Day--"Your tasks are heard
You've wearied all the race;
III fold them in my plying arms
For downy Sleeps embrace.
Of care, | smooth the wrinkling trace
That you so deep have made,
Take from the statesman's breast its load.
From Labor's hand the spade.

OF meagre Want the sigh,
And draw healing curta in DER

West TENNESSEE BAPTIST CoNvEN-
| TToN.-A friend has handed u for publ.
| cation the following epitome of the trans
actions of this body, which met in
Trenton on Saturday of last week.
The Introductory sermon was preached
by Elder J.. w. Nixon. Elder G. G. Con-
nor was reelected president; Elders NJ.
Hilsman and G. W. Young, v~ice-pfesi.
dents Elder ]. II. Borum. recording,
and Elder J. J. Turner, corresponding
secretaries. The attendance was larger
than that Of the previous year, though
many Of the churches were not represen.
ted. The educational interests of the
convention were found TO be in a
satisfactory condition. Respectable
classes had been in attendance at the Fe-
male institute in Brownsville, (which
was reported out Of debit and at
the Male institute Madison col.ege) at
Spring creek, to liquidate the indebted
ness Of which il was understood meas
ures were on foot, which promised entire
success. The mission interests Of the
convention were found TO have been prof.
ecuteG with all the energy and
efficiency practicable under the circum-
stances. To further these interests, a
plan was set on foot TO engage the
churches to adopt a system Of monthly
contributions, which, it is thought, will
ultimately secure an ample fund for
their maintenance. The success at
tending the mission enterprises Of
the two churches in this city, recently
undertaken, was regarded with much
pleasure by, and received the especial
co~mmendatiOn of the convention. Pend
ing their discussion, DIR. P. 8. Jones made
n statement in reference to his church,
1.-THE First Church of this city, of which
Rev. MI. Miller is PASTOR which was
gratifying to many present, and to which
DR.. Ford, pastor of the Central church,
added his hearty approval. He stated
that a rumor was broadcast over
the land, painful 10 many who had
been members of his church, but
residing in other localities, to
the effect, that it had been yam
aud ab~olitionised asd was
under pastoral charge of a fed
eral chaplain. He denounced the ru-
as false, and requested his brethren
to do so whenever opportunity offered.
He was Joined in this effort to correct q
report by DR.. Ford, of the central
church, who testified to q long and per-
sonai acquaintance with Rev. Mr.. Miller,
and whom he Rverred to have been as
true to his country (the South as HIM
self Especial concern was manifested
10 teach and indOctrinate the colored
and membership in the bounds of
convention, and steps were taken to
afford such colOred persons as desired to
preach an opportunity to qualify them
selves for their work. The convention
holds its next session in Jackson, Tenn.

q. Hastings, formerly a detective officer
in Memphis during the war, was arrested
Oh a bench warrant issued by Judge
Hunter, on the affidavit of Marshall
johnson, a colored man, who charges
Hastings with obtaining money under
false p~retenses. It seems. from the testi-
mony Of johnson, that he was arrested
by Hastings some time since on the
charge of larceny, and that Hastings
from time to time obtained money from
him to the amount of SOB, promising to
fix the case of larceny all right for John
son but johnson coming 10 the conclu-
sion that it was all wrong, had Hastings
arrested. Judge Hunter bound the de-
PENDANT OVer in the sum of $1,000.
