The Mothers Faith

sHark, how the wind is whistling, mother!
List to the driving rain;
And alas. to think that my gentle brother
| Is tossed on the stormy main
Themother raised her meek blue eye
From the holy book to the stormy sky,
And a moments blush went DER her brow
As she thought of the boiling food below.
But she checked her human will,
And sighed for the heart that would rebel;
And then she meekly spoke-'My love,
I will not fear, there's God above
'ButI have been to the garden, mother,
And the vine is trailed and torn,
One rose-tres crushed and pale, the other
Droops like a thing forlorn;
And o, all night how the tall trees creaked.'
Again the mothers pale cheek burned
As she thought ofhim for whom she yearned !;
But the spoke again in holy trust,
| The God worship is good and just
But look at the tossing waves, mother,
How they dash, and foam, and roar,
And the wild winds bowling almost smother
Their echoings ashore
The mother looked to the ocean wild,
And her heart grew sick for her absent child,
And the strong prayer rose from that heart,
MY God, thy help and aid impart.'
Look, look to the path from the beach, mother
| Some neighbor that must be
o should he say my only brother
Was wrecked in that stormy sea?
But the mothers brow grew deeper flushed,
And the very breath at her heart was hushed;
And the light in her meek and trustful eye.
Then over the cottage floor she sprung,
And back the door on its hinges flung,
And round her wet and weary boy
She flung her arms in feverish joy.
The gallant ship is all wreck,
She hath fallen upon his neck;
His hard earned wealth is lost and gone,
But the God of mercy hath spared her son.

TURKISH PRovERBs.--A small stone
often makes a great noise. A foolish
friend is, at times, greater annoy
ance than wise enemy. You'll not
sweeten your mouth by saying
a honey" IF a man would live in
peace he should be blind, deaf and
dumb. Do good and throw it into
the sea, if the fish know it not, the
Lord will. Who fears God need not
fear man. IF thy foe be as small as
a gnat, fancy. him as large as an ele-
phant. A man who weeps for every
one will soon have lost his eyesight.
More is learned from conversation
than from books. A friend is Of
more worth than a kinsman. He rides
seldom who never rides any but a bor-
rowed horse. Trust to the wilderness
of his turban who bought the soap on
credit. Death is a black camel, that
kneels before every mans door. :

A bankrupt merchant, s returning

A bankrupt merchant, returning
home one night, said to his noble
wife: "My dear, we are ruined
everything we have is in the hands Of

his face and said: Will the sheriff
sell you?" 1Oh no r. Will the

The priest returned to the charge,
and among other remarks which made
some impression on the man. he was
quite brought to bay by the following
$50 you won't promise not to beat
your wife? That is simply because
you don't reflect. Surely you who
have just done an act of kindness to a
strange woman cannot with any
decency continue to beat your own
WIFE,"
After much h hesitation, he pledged
his word, backing it with a tremendous
oath. Since then he has never been
intoxicated, neither has he once struck
his wife.

Coa5iScatioH Resolutions.

The New York Times has the follow
ing reflections on the subject of con-
fiscation. We think the Times is mis-
taken in stating that such resolutions
were adopted at the meeting referred
to, as the Richmond papers state that
they were referred to committee.
This. however, does not affect the gene
raj applicability Of the remarks:
"The contiscation resolutions adopted
at the late meeting of negroes in Rich
mond prove the baneful effect OF the
political teaching which they receive
nom the Hunnieut,s Of the extreme
Radical party. In the eye Of every
thoughtful man, eontiSeation admits OF
only one Interpretation. 1t Is the
equivalent OF general spoliatien, blood
shed and anarchy. There can be no
liberty without order, and no order
without ample protection for the rights
of property. Invade these rights. and
inculcate the idea that one class shall he
permitted to seize and enjoy the lands
and houses of another class, and from
second san Domingo, to end only in
the determination Of whites or blacks.
This may lie a strong statement Of the
case, but it is the truth. And the men
who go about ianliliarizing the negroes
with the demand, and persuadng them
of its Justice, should be dealt with by
the military commanders as incendi-
aries"

We yesterday announced the marriage
of one DIR. Wight to Miss Chamber
lain. At the last fall term OF the Floyd
Circuit Court, this man Wight made app
plication for a divorce from his wife,
the only witness against the wife being
the woman Chamberlain. Judge Bick-
nell heard the evidence and retosed to
grant the divorce, administering to the
man Wight severe and merited repri-
mand for his proceedings in this ease.
Wight, however determined to marry
his swift witness Chamberlain, again
sought divorce in Huntingdon county,
where he obtained it, the court hearing
but one side of the testimony, that
given by the woman Chamberlain.
Having his divorce in his pocket, Wight
and the Chamberlain were married yes
terday.
Wight married his first wife when she
was young, beautiful, and in good
health. She is yet possessed of good
looks, Notwithstanding the affections
which have lowered over her. She is a
lady of rare accomplishments. She was
of good family, and reputed wealthy at
the time of her marriage. But after
serving Wight for thirteen years she
was put away by divorce, because she
was an invalid.
At the wedding yesterday this di-
vorced wife stood beside the woman
that was to usurp her place; stood there
like a dying corpse; like q smitten,
withered flower; as bridesmaid; the
bridesmaid of the witness against her in
the suit for divorce the only witness.
If she stood there voluntarily, we have
in her an example of woman's devotion
such as we never before heard of. If she
stood there through compulsion, the
curse and blight Of the Almighty will
follow the husband and his new-lnade
wife formerly his divorced wife's nurse)
to avenge the wrongs Of the wretched
woman.
Wight and his wife and his divorced
wife left the city in company together
yesterday. If the husband and the wife
have any feelings OF humanity left, this
injured Woman's face will haunt them
like a sceptre wherever they may travel.

PROSPECT OF WAR IN EUROPE,

The latest Cable dispatches bring no
hope of peaceable setslement Of the
French and Prussian dispute about Lux
emburg, On the contrary, everything
seems to Indicate a collision between
these two mighty powers. 1t is eX-
treHely doubtful whether diplomacy
will bring about a settlement, and
though both sides are making prepa-
rations, it is possible that neither is quite
vet prepared for war. But when theap-
peal to arms is made, the war will he
sharp and decisive-great battles and
close contests. France can put SIX hum
dred thousand men into the field at a
moments warning, and have reserve
corps Of six hundred thousand more.
Prussia has at least million of men
whom she can have ready in a brief
space; but they are not yet consolidated.
While Napoleon is amusing the world
with his great show at Paris, he is evil
IDENTITY making ready to pounee with his
legions upon Prussia. But it is equally
clear that Won Bismark is aware of his
intentions, and means to be prepared
with an equal or greater force to decide
the dispute by the ordeal OF battle.
Should France and Prussia lead off in
a conflict of arms, other powers may be
involved in the contest, and the war
become general throughout Europe. 1t
is the apprehension of this that is causing
warlike preparations to be made by
nearly every European Government.

ADvERTIs1NG.- Prentice, who has
published the Louisville JoWnal for
thirty-six years, and ought to know
whereof he writes, has the following on
advertising, which we commend to the
attention Of those interested. lie says:
"We have been carrying on the Louis
willie Journal between &c and 81 years.
During all the time, we have known no
man of business in the city to fail who
advertised literally, And we know no
one to succeed in any considerable, if
even in a respectable degree who didn't
advertise literally! DO you tell us, oh
candidate for the custom OF the COM
munity, that you can't afford to adver-
tise because your business is dull? All!
why is it dullo Listen and we will tell
you. 1t is dull because you don't adver-
tise and you don't advertise because it
is dull. So the vacant circle is complete.
We tell you if you are doing i'll, to adj
vertise that YOU may do well, and, if
you are doing well, advertise that you
may do better. Set high your mark of
business success, and adve, tise up to it.
You can do SO, if you will, even in hard
times. A little nerue is needed in adj
vertising as well as in u>eing any other
effective means Of success. Men who
have no more nerve than a wet rag adj
vertise little or not at all, and they sue
ceed little or not at all. You may sup
pose that we are giving advice that
would benefit ourselves. Yes, we do
think it would benefit us, but would
benefit you immensely more. Think a
little, and you will agree with us. And
if you do agree with US, be wise enough
to act accordingly.

SGHENcK's MEpIcINE.-TO CURE CON-
SU MPTlON, the system must be prepared so
that the lungs will heal. To accomplish this
the liver and stomach must first be cleansed
and an appetite created for wholesome food,
which, by these medicines will be digested
properly, and good healthy blood made; thus
building up the constitution. SCHENCK'S
MANDRAKE PILLS cleanse the stomach Of
all bilious mucous Accommodations. and bv
using the Sea Weed Tonic in connection, the
appetite is restored
SCHENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP is nu
tritious as we'll as medicinal. and, by using the
three remedies, all impurities are expelled
from the SYSTEM and good, wholesome blood
made, which will repei all disease Ii patients
will take these medicines according to drec
tons, Consumption very frequently in its last
stage yields readily to their action Take the
pills frequently, to cleanse the liver and
stomach. 1t does not follow that because the
bowels are not eostive they are not required.
for sometimes in darrhpa they are necessary
The stomach must be kept healthy, and an ar
petite created to allow the Pulmonic Syrup to
act on the respiratory organs properly and
allay any irritation. Then all that is REQUIRED
to perform IA permanent cure is, to prevent
taking cold. Exercise about the rooms ns
much as possible, eat all the richest food-fat
