" Asleep in Jesus"
AN EPISODE OF THE WAR.

In a secluded spot in Hollywood, not far
from the banks Of the river, is the grave of
young woman, at the head of which is a neat
marble slab, on which is inscribed the name Of
the deceased, and three verses Of the beautiful
hymn commencing with the line, Asleep in
Jesus. 1t has an interesting history One
day during the war, a physician was sent
for to house of ill-tame, to see one of its in
mates. lie found pretty young woman sick
with slight disease, but laboring under that
terrible malady consumption. After the doc
tor had prescribed for her. she manifested a
desire to talk, and seemed anxious to disclose
to him her history. He gratifed her, and she
told him she came from -- country, in the
interior Of the State She had loved, was be-
trayed, and then abandoned.
Overwhelmed with shame and remOrse. she
came to Richmond, and entered one of those
houses which very few. once having entered
ever leave but for the grave. Her health was
failing she ardently longed to leave the life
she was following and appealed to the doctor
to try to find her home elsewhere She was
willing to do the most menlal work, if she could
get home with respectable people; to 90 any
where, or do anything, to be taken away from
the companions and scenes of the life she was
leading. The doctor was interested in her and
with that true benevolence which characterizes
the profession, eXerted himself to comply with
her request He related the circumstances to
professional brother, and the two succeeded
in getting her home with poor widow lady
IN the suburbs Of the city, upon the condition
that when she was able she was to assist in the
work OF the household, and when she was not
that the doctors were to pay her board
She went to her new home grateful and
almost happy. She worked when she could
but was almost always sick. After having
been with the widow lady month or
two, she proicsscd conversion Her health
steadily declined, and one day when the doc
tor went to see her, she said to him. Doc
tor, know | have not long to live. and do not
suppose when die that any one will think of
putting monument over the grave of a poor
castaway like myself; but il there is anvthing
done to mark my grave, | should like to have
one verse, II no more, of the beautiful hymn.
Asleep in Jesus, etc, over the spot in which
my body lies, 1t is a beautiful hymn, so con
sohng, and sounds to me so much like peace
and rest. She fingered few weeks longer,
and died Her death was peaceful and tri.
umphant Her body was laid in quiet SPOT
in the beautiful cemetery, and the doctor who
had been her true friend in life saw that her
last request was complied with \ neat mar
bic slab was erected at her head, and three YER
seS of the hymn she loved so well, mark the
spot where the repentant Magdalene sleeps.-

MUSCULAR RELIGION-There is a new So
ciety OF religiOnists in New Jersey, called "Je-
hOvah Band, who have their Headquarters
in MacOpin, near Paterson, where they have
suppanted tavOrite station of the Methodist
church, and have refused to listen to all advice
to abandon their peculiar opinions and prac-
tices. Their form of worship developes itself
in putting, blowing, whistling, shouting, Jump
ing, wrestling, falling to the floor, and rolling
over and kicking. Both women and men en-
gage in the exercises. Baptism is by INNER.
of the night. On Sunday they hold cOntinu-
GUS service, and take recess for meals only, re-
tusing to read newspaper, or even to receive
letter, on that day.
They profess to be filled with the Holy Spirit
when wOrshiping, and, when leaping in their
ecstacy, declare that their spirits rise far above
their bodies. They permit no person, except
ing those belonging to the band, to join with
them in singing or jumping, or in any other Of
their exercises although no objections is made
20 the attendance of outsiders at the meetings
of the band A dozen will have the floor at
once, pounding and kicking, and the whole
crowd seems worked up to a fearful state of
excitement-sOme jumping until they fall the
women shrieking in the widest manner and
others praying, whistling and putting, as for
a wager. They permit no lcvity on the part
of the young folks during their proceedings
One of the band is thought to be growing in-
sane under the excitement of this religious
phrenzy. There is no doubt that the members
are sincere enthusiasts and what is strange to
many, several wealthy, wcll-t0-do and sensible
citizens have joined them. The Methodists
have done all they could do to overcome the
enthusiasm of the sect, but they have utterly
failed. -Sunddy Dispatch.

We are not without a hope that certain

admission to legal practice of women, gentle

that not fewer than one hundred ladies' are now
employed in the study Of the law in different

they will not think it necessary, in defending
their clients, to suggest the false, to suppress
the true, to sander innocent third parties, to
set up fanciful defenses and then to maintain
them rccklesSly and unscrupulously, to bully
the Court, to humbug the Jury, or to adopt
three lines of defence each of which renders
the others absurdities. Unless they can do
better than this, we hope that they will be
kept out of the Courts, in which we have al
ready gossps enough, albeit they wear coats

POetTY.
W0MAN'S LOVE,
By THE HON. MRS. NORTON.

To worship silently at some hearts shrine,
And Ieel, but paint not. all its fire in thine;
To pray for that hearts hopes when thine are gone
Nor let its after coldness chill thine own;
To hold that one, with every fault, more dear
Than all who whisper fondness in thine ear;
To JOY thee in his JOY, and silently
Meet the uphraiding of his angry eye;
To bear unshrinking all the blows of Fate
Save that which leaves thy sorrow desolste;
Nor deem THAT woe which thou canst feel is still
Borne with him, and for him. through every ill;
To smile on him, nor weep. save when, apart,
God and God only, looks into thy heart;
To keep unchanged thy calm, pure, quiet love,
II he incOnstant doth new one prove:
With the affection of true heart TO see
His happiness, which doth not hang on thee
Oh this is womans love-its jOy-its pain -
And this-it hath been lelt-and felt in vain!

In the early rush tc California, poor boy
named Charles Crocker, crossed the Missouri
with an OK team, at Omaha, on his toilsome,
overland journey to the new gold regions. Last
tnday-nlncteen years a!telwa1d to a day-he
arrived at Omaha, on his first return visit to
his old Eastern home. He came accompanied
by his family, in his own special car, for he is
now Superintendent of the Central Pacific
Railroad, and every mile of it has been built
under his supervision. He may well feel an
honorable pride in the great work with which
he has been SO closely identified His party
was four days from Sacramento to Omaha. and
on arriving there, delighted the citizens with
blooming flowers, and tra>ted them upon ber-
ries and lus ious cherries from California,
brought upon Alaska ice, 500 miles. through
the lingering snow Of the Rocky Mountains.
1t seems like a story from the Arabian Nights
