into the gutter, and stayed there
until the Samaritan hand of blue

WHEELING's GREAT WANT.-The Lii
brary Association of this city has par
tally arranged for series of lectures
the coming winter, to be delivered by
some of the most distinguished men of
learning and genius of this country.
The officers of the Association having
received satisfactory replies from sew
eral of the eminent lecturers, naming
the dates on which they could favor cur
citizens, applied for Washington Hall
the only public hall in the city-and
were informed that it could not be had
as it is already engaged fol
pretty much all tho winter. This, Of
course, at once puts it ont of the power
of the Association to give these enter
tainments, and robs our people of the
great intellectual treat. The fact Of
Washington Hall being almost con-
stantly engaged by the dramatic com
pany now playing in 10 absolutely pre-
vents our citizens from enjoying many
other performances of various kinds Of
a highly meritorious character, and is
great drawback to the many associa
tions which semi-annually treat us to
Fairs, Festivals and the like.
The great want of Wheeling to day, is
q first rate Opera House. A good build
ing erected in some central locality,
containing fine store rooms on the
ground floor and offices above, would be a
credit to our city; would pay hand
some per cent, directly, on the invest
mont, and would return dividend tC
all our business men by the additional
attraction it would present to strangers
and purchasers to visit the city. VIZ
are far behind other cities of the size
and wealth of Wheeling, in this regard
Let this subject be well considered.

LOVE-LIGHT.

"Go down to the meadow at break of day,
Go down to the meadow, son John,
And labor away mong the sweetest hay
That ever the sun shone on"
And John went down to the meadow-land,
But he saw not the clover sweet,
And the sky was dun, for he missed the sun,
Though it Redeemed his brow with heat
lie missed the sun, and he missed the light,
And the world seemed upside down,
Till he caught the sight of a smile so bright,
And II linsey-woolsey gown
Till he caught the sight of golden head,
And a fair and merry face,
When so bright and round with sudden bound,
The sun went up in its place;
The sun went up and the light came down,
And the field was all aglow,
While his heart kept time to the merry rhyme
Of the reapers' song below.
And Mary, she laughed at her lovers mood,
AS she turned from his fond caress,
Though the south wind blew from her lips so true
The sweet little answer, " Yes"
"Oh wherefore so glad?" said farmer Gray,
"Oh wherefore SO glad, son John?
For the storm to-day spoiled the sweetest hay
That ever the sun shone on
But John knew nothing of rain or food
And nothing of ruined hay;
For the flowers of Joy to the farmer boy
Were scattered along the way.
And merry the wedding-bells rang out,
And merry the pipers did play,
At the golden dawn of the happy morn
That ushered the marriage day.

A Dutch judge in the western country
presided at trial for murder, and on ris-
ing to deliver the charge, observed that
the prisoner was playing chequers with his
custodian, while the foreman of the jury
was fast asleep, Replenishing the ample
judicial chair with his broadcast person, he
thus addressed the jury:
"Misdcr voreman and t'oder jurymans !:
Der prisoner, Hans Vieckter, is vinished

Hans has pecn tried for murder before you,

was the victim of rather good joke one
Sunday night recently. He was trying to
be particularly g sweet on young lady
and had paid her number of visits at
the residence of her parents. The old
folks had somehow got an idea into their
heads that the children were most too
young to keep company" and conveyed
the desired hint by calling the girl out of
the room and sending her to bed at nine
o'clock, the lady of the house astonishing
the young gent by bringing into the par
lor huge piece of bread and butter,
nicely spread with sugar, which she pre-
sented to him, saying, in her kindest man
ner, " There, Bubby, take this and run
home to your mother; it's time little boys
were in bed" The would-be gay young
beau hasn't felt as though he wanted any
more sweetness from that source since.

SAVED HIS WHIPPING A little ur-
chin seven Or eight years old, in one of
our schools where miss Blodgett was
teacher, composed the following and wrote
it on his slate at prayer time, to the great
amusement of the boys -
- A little mouse ran up the stairs,
To hear Miss Blodgett say her prayers
The teacher discovered the rhyme, and
called out the culprit. For his pun
ishment she gave him his choice, to make
another rhyme in five minutes, or be whip
ped So after thinking and blinking, and
scratching his head till his time was nearly
out, and the teacher was lifting the stick
in q threatening manner, at the last mo-
ment he exclaimed
" Here stand before Miss Blodgett;
She's to strike, and I'm to dodge it.'
He was sent to his seat.

Not in the proud cathedral
Where splendid thousands throng;
Not in the faint and formal plant,
The loud thanksgiving song;
Not in the studied homly,
The doctrine vague and dim,
There comes that softening grace to me
That lifts my heart to Him.
kneel in supplication,
But the truant thoughts will stray;
The lips repeat the words, as meet,
But the heart is far away.
There comes no holy blessed gush
No tender yearning there,
Till the head bends low, and the warm tears rush,
And the spirit melts in prayer.
But alone, alone with nature
On the everlasting hill,
That proudly arose at the worlds birth-throes,
And stands unaltered still.
Down shady lanes where the wild-howers grow,
In forest depths untrod,
In still small accents faint and low,
hear the voice of God.
