A Startling Instance Of the Justice
,,.,. Of Heaven.

The retributive Justice of
Heaven has never been more
clearly shown or exemplified than
in the fate of the judge, and jury
who acquitted the murderer of the
iamented Bolmeycr. ress ,ss
The circumstances surrounding
the case are too we'll known to
justify a rehearsal at this time.
Briefly, brutal beast, bearing the
name Of Brown, in cold blood
aud without the slightest provo
cation, assassinated Bolmeyer, on
a public street in Dayton, in
broad daylight, in the presence
OF numerous witnesses, for the
only reason that Bolmeyer was

Indignation of the people of

court and sheriff, Notwithstanding
the proof Of guilt was incontest.
able and overwhelming. This
was the Judgment of man. Now
witness the Judgment of Almighty
God Every juryman on that
panel that acquitted Brown of
the murder of Bolmeyer, has

The Light at Home.

Tho light at homo how bright Il beams
When evening shades around us fall;
And from the lattice far 1t CLEANS,
To lovo aud rest, and comfort all
When wearied with the tolls Of day,
And strife for CORY gold, or famo,
How sweet to seek the quiet way,
Where loving lips will lisp our name
Around the light at home!
When through the dark aud stormy night
The wayward wanderer homewurd hies,
How cheering Is that twinkling light,
Which through tho forest gloom he spies
1t is tho light OF hsme. He feels
That loving hearts will greet him there,
And safely through his bosom steals
The joy and lo7e that Danish care
Around the light at home.
The light Mt home how still and sweet
It peeps from yonder cottage door,
The weary laborer to greet, .
When tho roagb tolls Of day are o'crl
Sad is the soul that does not know
The blessings that the beams impart
The cheerful hopes and joys that fow
And tighten up the heaviest heart
Around the light at home.

ATHEIST. One who does not

ATHEisT.-One who does not
believe in the existence of God.-
Such a creed can only arise from
the ignorance of stupidity, or a
corruption of principle, since the
whole universe is filed with the
moral and physical proofs of
Creator. He who does not look
to superior and superintending
power as Lis maker and his Judge,
is without that coercive principal
OF salutary fear which should
prompt him TO do good and es-
chew evil, and his oath can, of ne
cessity, be no stronger than his
word. Masons, looking to the dan
gerous tendency of such a tenet,
have wisely discouraged it, by de-
claring that no atheist can be ad-
mitted to participate in their fra
ternity; and the better to carry
this law into effect, every candi-
date, before passing through any
Of the ceremonies of initiation, is
required, publicly and solemnly,
TO declare his trust in God.

The road which the man of bust.

After each days journey over this

Cheap Smoke House.

a farmer in Western New York
gives the following as his plan for
a good and cheap smoke house :
No farmer should be without a
good smoke. house, and such one
as will be fire-proof and tolerably
secure from thieves. Fifty hams
can be smoked at one time i'm a
smoke.house seven by eight feet
square. Mine is six by seven, and
is large enough for most farmers.
| first dug all the ground out be-
low where the frost would reach,
and filled it up to tile SUI face with
small stone. On this / laid my
brick floor, in lime mortar. The
walls are brick, eight inches thick,
and seven feet high, with a door
on one side two feet wide. The
door should be made of wood and
lined with sheet iron. For the top
/ put on joists, two by tour, set
up edgewise, and eight and q half
inches from centre to centre, cover
ed with brick, and put on a heavy
coat of mortar. l built small
chimney on the top in the centre,
arching it over and covering it
with shingle roof in the usual
way. An arch should be built on
the outside, with a small iron door
to shut it up, similar to a stove
door, with q hole from the arch
through the wall of the smoke
house, and an iron CRATE over it.
The al ch is more convenient and
better to put the fire IN than to
build q fire inside the smoke.house,
and the chimney causes a draft
through into the smoke-house.-
Good corn cobs or hickory wood
arc the best materials to make a
smoke for hams. The cost of such
smoke-house as l describe is
about $50. -

A Curious Trial in Italy-Beauties
of Romanism-A Convert Case.

"a &sooAoAAoh "A SOuNCIt SdbO.
The Florence correspondent of
the London News writes:
The Florence journals have
quite overlooked a curious trial
which took place ten days ago be-
fore the Tribunal Of Correctional
Police in their own city, and which
had for a result to condemn to
twenty days. Imprisonment Leo
poldo Fabbroni, the agent of the
Bible Society in Florence, his two
brothers-in-law to the same term
OF Imprisonment, a hackney coach
anan eight days imprisonment,
and the wife of Fabbroni to one
days Imprisonment.
The otfcnse for which these sem
tences were awarded consisted in
the fact of the whole party having
gone on the 10th of last May, to
the Convent of Monti Ccii, and
attempted to remove thence the
eldest daughter Of the wife by a
tornNer husband. 1t is altogether
a very sad story, and illustrates in
a too instructive way the proceed
ings of the old Grand Ducal rule

the liberty of conscience, and the
consequences which these proceed.
ings have entailed even on mere
liberal governments.
AS long ago as 1856 there died
in Florence a certain Domenico
Barretti. As both lie and his wife
had become Protestants, the priests
determined that the two little girls
whom he left should be separated
from their mother. This was
done, and they We're consigned, in
epite of all the sapplieatioas and
remonstrances Of their mother, to
the nuns of Monti Celii. In the
twelve years that bavo passed
since tie separation, they have, of
course, been trained up to believe
that their mother ia q monster of
heretical iniquity, and that their
return to stay under her root
would be incurring the risk Of
eternal misery. On the 10th OF
last May the poor mother went to
the convent to entrcat her eldest
daughter to leave the nuns and
come and stay with her.
The daughter refused {; then
they bade each other farewell
but at the last moment, as if seized
by an uncomfortable maternal i'm
pulse, the mother made a rush q,
her daughter, caught her up in
her arms, put her in the hackney
coach which was waiting at the
convent door, and attempted tc
drive off. The nuns, with theiI
cries, reused the neighborhood
and the girl was brought back tt
the csnyent. Such are the cir
cumstaness which led to the trial
of the 9Sth u,t. All the partie.
condemned have made their ap.
peal to the higher tribunals. :
