The Grand Barbecue and Ratifica-
ton meeting at Brandon yesterday
was an entire success. The Democ-
racy of old Rankin, both white and
colored, were out in full force, there
being at least six thousand persons
present. Stirring speeches were
made by Judge Sharkey, Col. Gauze,
Harvey Ware, Esq, Col Shelby, and
many others, both white and colored.
About l O'Clock dinner was announc
ed, and the carcases of twenty three
beeves and sixty one sheep, together
with vegetables in great variety and
abundance, were soon disposed Of
The utmost harmony prevailed, and
late in the evening the immense crowd
dispersed to their homes, well pleased
with the days doings.

and patience has already ceased to be
virtue. The National Democratic
party has entered the contest determ-
med on victory; its banner, The Con-

it's hosts are being hourly augmented !;
its mission is one that nerves the arm

Six Little Feet on the Fender.

In my heart there liveth picture
OF kitchen rude and old,
Where the freight tripped Ger the rafters,
And Redeemed the roofs brown mould;
Gliding the steam from the KETTLE
That hummed on the foot-worn hearth,
Throughout the liyelong evening,
In measure of drowsy mirth
Because of the three light shadows
That frescoed that rude old room
Because of the voices echoed
Up mid the rafters, gloom
Because of the feet on the fender,
Six restless, white little feet
The thoughts of that dear old kitchen
Are to me so fresh and sweet
When the first dash on the window
Told of the coming rain, II
Oh where are the fair young faces
That crowded against the pane2
While bits of freight stealing
Their dImpled cheeks between,
Went struggling out in darkness,
In shreds of silver sheen.
Two of the feet grew weary
One dreary, dismal day,
And we tied them with snow-white ribbons
Leaving them bv the way;
There was fresh clay on the fender
That weary, wintry night,
For the four little feet had tracked it
From this grave on the bright hills height
OH why on this darksome evening"
This evening of rain and sleet.
Rest my feet all alone on the hearthstone?
OH where are those other feet?
Are they treading the pathway of virtue
That will bring us together above?
Or have they made steps that will dampen
A sisters tireless lover

The poor little girl chung closer to
her brother, and the tears came faster
and faster down her pale, thin cheeks
She was not more than seven years
old, and her brother was only ten.
Their father and mother used to live in
the country, but when little Bessie was
four years old they had moved into the
great city. For short time they did
very well, for the father was sober and
Industrious; but before a year was
over, the dreadful yellow fever came
into the city, and he died. The fever

If Mrs. Hogan had been good and kind,

have found a comfortable home in spite
OF its being such humble one. But
Mrs. Hogan had never laid to heart
these words from Gods own book
"He that ruleth his own spirit is
greater than he that taketh a city.u
She would fly into passion and abuse
the poor little girl; and often she
would beat her severely. Then she
would tell her if she ever said a word
to Tim or her brother, both Henry and
herself should be driven into the
streets, without a shelter over their
heads; so poor little Bessie had kept
her troubles to herself until she could
bear them no longer.
Poor Harry felt very much shocked
and angry, too, when he heard what
his sister said; and he held her very
close in his arms, and tried to stop her
sobs and tears. But she kept On crv-

BY MARIETTA HOLLEY.
From the Home journal. |

Come to me, soft-eyed sleep,
With your ermine-sandalled feet;
Press the pain from my troubled brow
With your kisses cool and sweet;
Lull me with slumbrous song,
Sorg of your clime-the Blest,
While on my heavy eyelids
Your dewy fingers rest.
Come with your native flowers,
Hearts-ease and Lotus bloom,
And wrap my weary sense
In the cloud of their perfume;
For thoughts strange whispers tire me
With their constant dull repeat
Fret me, like low waves throbbing
With endless, endless beat

CHOOSE WELL.-The line of conduct
chosen by young man during the five
years from fifteen to twenty, will, in
almost every instance, determine his
character for life. As he is then care
ful or careless, prudent or improve
ment, industrious or indoIent, truth
fui or discriminating, intelligent or
ignorant, temperate Or dissolute, SO
will he be in after years; and it needs
no prophet to cast his horoscope, or
calculate his chances in life.

THE HOUSEHOLD LAMP.

When suns decline, and crickets sing,
And wandering mists from seaward roam,
When nights no heavenly beacons bring,
Then brightest shines the star of homet
When the brown brooks, with music low
Watch Summers die and AutumnS come
When stately golden rods must bow,
What cheer is in that light of home
When Winter strips the shuddering trees,
Ana chllls the wavelet's wanton foam,
When IN the worlds cold grasp we freeze,
How blest is then that star of home!

A Remarkable Conversion.

Adoniram Judson, was a minister's
son, he was very able and very ambi-
tious He was early sent to College.
In the class above was young man
of the name Of E, brilliant, witty
and popular, but determined Deist.
Between him and the minister's son
there sprang up a close intimacy,
which ended in the latter gradually re-
nouncing all his early beliefs, and be-
coming as great a sceptic as his friend.
He was only twenty years of age and
you may be sure it was terrible dis
tress and CONSERVATION which filed
the home circle when, during the re-
cess, he announced that he was no
longer believer in Christianity.
More than match for his fathers ar
guments, he steeled himself against the
softer influences, and with his mind
made up to enjoy life and see the world,
he first joined a company of players
at New York, and then set out on a
solitary tour. One night he stopped
at a country inn Lighting him to his
room, the landlord mentioned that he
had been obliged to place him next
door to a young man who was exceed
ingly i'll, in all probability dying, but
he hoped that it would occasion him
no uneasiness. Judson assured him
that beyond pity for the poor sick man,
he should have no feeling whatever
Still the night proved restless one.
Sounds came from the sick chamber
sometimes the movements Of watchers,
sometimes the groan Of the sufferer,
and the young traveller could not
sleep. So close at hand, with but a
thin partition between US, he thought
there is an immortal spirit about to
pass into eternity, and is he prepared?
And then he thought "For shame Of
my shallow philosophy? What would
E., so intellectual and clear head
ed, think of this boyish weakness"
And then he tried to sleep, but still
the picture Of the dying man rose up
to his Imagination. He was young
man" and the student felt compelled to
place himself on his neighbours dying
bed, and he could not help fancying
what in such circumstances, would be
his Thoughts. But the morning dawn
ed and in the welcome daylight CHS
superstitious illusions" fed away.
When he came down stairs he inquired
of the landlord how his fellow-lodger
had passed the night. "He is dead"
was the answer. "Deadw eyes; he
is gone, poor fellow; the doctor said
he would probably not survive the
night "Do you know who he WasY
ooh yes, it was a young man from
Province College, very fine fellow;
his name was E." Judson was
completely stunned. Hours passed
before he could quit the house; but
when he did resume his journey, the
words Dead Lost! Lost! were continu-
ally ringing in his ears. There was no
need for argument God had spoken,
and from the presence of the living
God the chimeras of unbelief and the
pleasures of sin alike fled away, The
religion of the Bible he knew to be
tree; and turning his horses head
towards Plymouth, he rode slowly
homeward, his plans of enjoyment all
shattered, and ready to commence the
rough and uninviting path which,
through the death prison at Ava ana
its rehearsal of martyrdom conducted
to the grave at Maulmain.-l From
