Come, boy, your hand, let's stand awhile
Beneath this ancient tree,
And gaze upon that gsth'ring host
OF Heavens artillery;
Let's watch those columns as they form,
Solid and black as night,
And rush. like war gods. up yon sky,
Armed with the thunder's might"
% Father, ! see them; is not God
Upon that battle field,
And that the echo Of bis voice
The glancing Of bis shield?
But God is good you say. and great,
And would not harm bee;
Why, therefore, should fear to stand
With you beneath this tree"
e You're right, my boy, but list how still
IL nature in repose!
Az IL afraid 10 stir leaf
Or check those thunder.foes!
Now hash meets fash from each fierce host,
And onward ss ii breaks,

Heard you OF mother say,
That when two thunder clouds lik9 these
Meet In their dread array,
| Tempest and death descend TO earth
Uproot the stoutest oak
| And lay Gods noblest creature-man-
PROSTATE beneath the stroke"
| You have, my boy but look once more
The thunderers close at last;
Each column with lite lightning spear
Has grappled In the blast
Tumbles the cataract fyom their wings

1t not often you see equality verified,
and when you do it is only for mo-
ment, or as long as it can he endured.
When man or woman finds their own
level then they find their equal; and if
two 90 down to level at the same
time, they both must be on the same
footing. In this way we saw equality
demonstrated yesterday. A darkey and
white man met on very slippery
part of the pavement. Both were on
the Same footing then. The darkey
made n step and so did the white man,
bat the remaining foot of each slipped
from under, and they both found their
own level together, ard were mutually
equal by the force of circumstances if
not by the force of will. Nobody was
hurt"

try it, and clothed with full power by
law to prohibit snch use if it is ascer-
tanned to be injurious to another. And
the object of this bill is to secure by
special legislation what is not theirs by
the laws of the land, and what is pro-
hibited Others in like situation.
Resolred, That having no property
interest in the subject of the l. gisia-
lative action proposed, We would not
have felt ourselves called upon, either
rs citizens or Catholics, to take ANY
part in the controversy, although some
of the parties thereto are Catholics, who,
claiming the right so to do, propose to
use their hand as Catholic graveyard.
would have trusted to the wisdom
and justice of the Legislature IN
giving due aid proper weight to
the reasons herein before stated
against the passage of the bill
referred to, if other and improper
influences had not been resorted tn.
Yet when Senators, 70 secure the passage
of the bill into q law discriminate against
Catholics, because of their religion,
they violate the Constitution OF the
State which declares that: "all men are
free to profess, and maintain by argu-
ment, their opinions in matters OF re-
ligion; and the same shall in no wise,
affect. diminish or enlarge their CIVIL
capacities" Ana it is to be hoped that
all Just men, all who value religious
liberty will mite in condemning such
abuse of power and protest against all
legislation which discriminates between
citizens because of their opin-
ions or religious faith, as unjust, I'M
equal, aud dangerous to civil and rellg-
ious liberty
RESOLVED, That this meeting hereby
publicly declares its respect for the Leg
isiative body, and at the same time dis
avows any intention to unduly lnnu-
ence its action; that it simply asks for
Justice and equal rights.
Resolred, That the thanks of this
meeting are due and hereby rendered
to Senators Andrew Wilson and AlstoT-
pheus Werninger for their efforts TO
prevent the passage of Senate Bill No. l.
Resolutions were also adopted thank
ing Messrs. Lamb and Chandler for their
able addresses, and directing the Presi-
dent and Secretary to furnish the pre-
siding officers of both Houses of the
Legislature with copy of these pro-
ceedings and to procure the publication
of the same in the newspapers of this
city.

Matrimonial Lnrn .

Matrimonial Jars
There is married couple in the
southern portion of the city, who
fcequently have o little amusement
among themselves, in enjoying pri'
vate quarrel. This happens semi-occa'
sionally, but is sometimes worse than
others. The parties are young and we
are told have not been married very
long. The last time they had dlfh-
entity the husband was under the lnnu'
ence of liquor and was rather more Vin-
dicative, and inclined to strengthen LIS
arguments by force. This was too hard
for the young wife, so in fit of passion
she appealed to the neighbors for
help. She thought if she conld not
convince him that he was wrong in
his drunken condition, she was not
going to be convinced by the
argument of animal persuasion. Well,
the neighbors came, and according to
her first suggestions, were about to lay
violent hands on her dear husband" as
she afterwards called him, buther cOur-
age forsook her, and tears Of pity came
to her eyes, as she begged them to let
him 90. Tho neighbors hesitated for
some time, before they were willing to
give him up, but at last thought that
| it would be best to de so, and perhaps
he would mend his ways and become
more kind in future to his wife. Yes
terday the same wife told an inquisitivG
individual that it was "nObody's bust
ness how much they quarreled" or how
often lie whipped her," which proves
that wOman's love is strong and very
enduring.

Thrown from Her Horse.

A lady residing on the road leading
to st. Clairsville was thrown from her
horse yesterday. 1t seems that sOne
gentlemen were hunting near the place
where she was travelling, and had just
discharged load from one of the guns,
which frightened the horse and caused
her to fall off. She was not hurt much.
We were unable to learn her name.

Police Court.
There was large number of specta.
tors in attendance at the Police Court
yesterday morning, and the business
which has lately been on the wane
seemed to have improved. We have nc
doubt that the moderate condition OF
the weather during the forepart of the
last few days has contributed much il
reviving the state of affairs in this
court, in encouraging the drinkists, &C.
to indulge themselves in their different
preclivities without fear of the law oil

First on the docket was Henry Swigert
Henry may he a very good and quiet
citizen when he is at himself, but when
overbalanced with heavy load it il
not expected that he is going to SCI
down like patience on a monument,
and wait until it gradually disappears
of its own accord. Such a course
was entirely too slow for him; so he pur'
sued the shortest and quickest method
which led him to the lookup, and was
arraigned this morning on the charge
of being drunk and disorderly. He wal
fined one dollar and costs. James Skel-
ley, was next brought before His Hon
or, charged with committing an indie
cency in the Second Ward market house,
for which he was fined one dollar and
costs. Henry Sovering, for assault and
battery, was fined one dollar and costs
Don" Russell, for an exhibition of his
pugilistic skill, which, by the way
seems to be of No. character, on the
person of German, was fined twenty
dollars and costs. He must have been
good man to have got the worth o.
his money. This ends the chapter. To
be continued tomorrow.
