in my imagination and reminding
me of the joy that was. ! dream Of
the dear fire-side circle; l see ever
before me the once placid face of my
Alice as her eye looked into my own
with confidence. / feel her arms
twine around my neck, the music of
her voice is sounding ever in my ear"
Here the speakers emotions over
came him. His utterance became
choked and he stood silent with bow
ed head and trembling limbs. The
dense mass of people were hushed
into All impressive stiffness, that was
broken here and there by half stifed
sobs.
At this moment there was move
ment in the crowd. a single female
! figure, before whom every one APP
peared instinctively to give way, was
seen passing the aisle. This was not
observed 10y Delaney until she had
come nearly In front of the platform
on which he stood. The movement
caught his ear, and lifting his eyes,
they instantly fell on Alice; for 1t
was she who was pressing forward
he bent toward her with uplifted
hands and eager eyes, and stood like
a statue until she had gained the
stand and advanced quietly by his
side. For u moment they stood thus,
the whole audience thrilled with the
scene were upon their feet and bend
ing forward. Then Delaney opened
his arms, and Alice threw herself up
on his bosom with quick and wild
gesture. Thus for the space of mini
ute they stood, every one, by single
intuition, understood the scene. One
of the ministers then came forward
and gently separated them.
"No, no." said Delaney, "you must
not-yOu cannot take her away from
meW
"Heaven forbid that I should do
that" replied the minister. BY
your confession she Is not your wife,"
"No, she is not" replied Delaney
mournfully.
"But she ia ready to renew her
vows again." Alice said, smiling
through her tears that now rained
over her face.
Before that assembly, all standing,
and with few dry eyes, was said, in II
broken voice, the marriage ceremony
that gave Delaney aud Alice to each
other. AS the minister, an aged man,
with thin white locks, finished the
rite, he laid his hands upon the heads
of the two he joined in holy bonds,
and lifting up his aged eyes, that
streamed with drops of gladness, he
said in solemn voice:
"What God has joined together,
let not RUM put asunder."
"Amen" was cried by the whole
assembly, as with single voice.

the caucus system grew flagrant, OPP
posed and overthrow 1t. Martin Van
Buren, was the father of the conven-
tion system, but its abuses under the
protection of the thoroughly part n
press, led to the dismembermeyi If
the Democratic party in 1860, and the
same fate awaits the Republican par
ty. The leadership Of men as 1t ex-
listed twenty years ago has passed
away, and we need not look for a
public man who will exercise the po-
litical power welded by Calhoun or
Andrew jackson.
The attempt to assume the one man
power, results now in the overthrow
Of him who attempts. There Is no
leader who can successfully resist the
power of the press of tO-day--that
which gave power to Calhoun over
the people of his State, will give pow
er to the press-integrity of thought
inspired with an earnest sympathy
of the people.
For one man can create public opin-
ion-the people are wiser than any
one man, and the duty of the jour
nails Is to give free expression to this
public opinion. The history to this
day Is now written and finished with
the setting of the sun. 1t Is an easy
thing to censure the humble Alder
man, the guilty Representative, but
weought to be able to pluck the wreath
from our own conquering leaders and
throw 1t under the leet Of the people.
Let us not forget that the press Is
the handmade of Christianity, that
it breaches its daily sermons to the
millions, and that ITS chief mission is
to educate the public mind and to ele-
vate the public heart.

Don't crowd; this world Is broad enough
For you ny well Us me-
The door OF art Is open wide
The realm Of thought Is free;
or all earth's places you are right
To choose the best yOn can,
Provided that you do not try
TO crowd some other man.
What matter though you scarce can count
Your piles Of golden ore;
While he can hardly strive to keep
Gpunt famine nom his door.
OF willing hands and honest heart
Alone should men be proud
Then give him all the room he needs,
And never try TO crowd.
Don't crowd, proud Miss, your dainty silk

Because II comes I'm contact with
A beggtr's tutter,'d dress.
This lovely world WIS never made
For you and me alunc;

The pathway to the throne.
Don't crowd the good from out your hearts
by fostering NIL that's bad,
But give to every virtue ROOM

That you may well be proud;
Give each his right, give each his room,
And never try To crowd.

Put Him out.

At one of the railroad depots, in
the vicinity of Elizabeth, says the
Monitor, travellers were recently
amused In this wise:
A countryman purchased ticket,
and thus addressed the clerk:
Stranger-" | want Ia leave my dog
in this 'ere office until the train starts.
I'm afraid some body will steal him. :"
"Eou can't do it," said the clerk,
:" take him out.n
Well, stranger, that's cruel
you're both dispostioned alike, and
he'll he kinder company for YOU"
"Take him out :" roared the clerk.
"Well, stranger, don't think YOU
honest, and you want watching. Here,
Dragon" he said to the dog, "sit
down there and watch that fellow
sharp" and turning on his heel, he
said to the clerk, put him out, strung-

A BEAUTIFUL LTHouGHT.-I was read
ing the other day, that on the shores OF
the Adriatic sea the wives of the fish
ermen, whose husbands have gone far
Off upon the deep, are in the habit, at
n-tide, Of going down to the sea
shore, and singing, as female voices
only can, the first stanza of eauti-
full hymn; after they have sung II
they will listen till they hear, borne
by the wind across the desert sea, the
second stanza sung by their gallant
husbands, as they are tossed by the
gale upon the waves, and both are
happy. Perhaps, if we listen, we
too, might hear on this desert world
Of ours some whisper borne from afar
to remind us that there Is n heaven
and II home and when we sing the
hymn upon earth, perhaps we shall
hear it's echo breaking in the music
upon the sands of time, and cheering
the hearts of those that are pilgrims
aud strangers, and look for city that
hath foundation.-Dr. John Cum
mings.

Death Of a veteran Printer.

Intelligence reached this city last
evening of the death of veteran prin-
ter, John G. Barry, aged 81 years.
A brief telegraphic dispatch from his
son announces the death as follows !:
HOLLY SPRINGS, Miss, Feb. a.
w. l.. Barry: Father was thrown
from wagon yesterday and killed.
w. L. BARRY.
The deceased was for q long period
a citizen Of this place, and well known
among our citizens. He was the
brother of w. l.. Barry, the oldest
printer in the United States, who Is
still resident of this city. His many
friends here will regret to hear of his
sad and sudden death. Upon every
page of his life, there was record OF
honesty and industry, but the last
signature has been reached; his vol.
ume, which had its commencement
with the last century, has been fin
ished, and let us hope that the form
from which so many good Impress
ions emanated, aud locked up in
death, is registered with the blessed

Joe Stetson was q wild, rollicking
fellow, who spent most of his time
in drinking and spreeing, while his

left home to be back, as he said, that

A Hint to the Long VinGed.

From the Cincinnati Commercial.
Queen Victoria has just given the En-
glish preachers hint which our Ameri-
can preachers would do well to heed
S he has deiicately indicated her royal
opinion-and, mind you, she is the head
of the English Episcopal Established
Church-that sermons are altogether too
long -winded, and that, instead of lasting
an hour they should not be over third of
an hour in length. She has done this by
directing that the pulpit sand-glass, which
indicates the length of time allowed for
the sermon, in the Royal Chapel, shall be
measured for twenty minutes only, in-
stead Of an hour, as formerly. 1t is a
hit, palpable hit" for the preacher is
required to wind up his sermon as soon as
the atoms in the sand-glass have run down.
We imagine that good many of our
Cincinnati churches would gladly furnish
their clergy with twenty-minute sand
glasses. if they could thus reduce the
long windencss of their energetic dis
courses

BEAUTsEY YOUR HOMES.

One.of fler6est investments a farmer
can make for hisehiIdren is an attractive
house. The ,dFellihlgs maybe small an d
rude too, but flew detlars.spent in max
ing it neat and attractive will yield a
handsome profit in the way personal
comfort. A few flowers cost nething.-
Shade trees cost little labor, hut no out
lay of money. The individual who has
never experienced it knows not how much
these add to the comfort of home
Scarcely any labor on tie farm can be
made more profitable than that which
makes the wife and children proud of
their home. One reason why children
are often so eager to leave the parental
roof, is found in the neglect of home and
its surroundings They naturally love
the beautiful, and when it can not be
found at home they will seek it else
where.
Fruit trees enrich and grass gladdens
the hearts of all, yet how many homes are
destitute of both.
How cherries the home where flowers
shed no fragrance, where trees yield no
fruit, and where no cooling shade invites
to reposc during the sultry days of sum-
mer. Farmers, beautify your homes
1t can be done at but little cost. Only a
spare hour now and then is all that is ne
ceSSarv

Industrial Education.

Consider the following from the pen of
Professor Louis Bail, of Sheffield Scien-
tifc School:
Why is it that majority of our apprenti,
ces are of foreign parentsge? Why is it
that American boys are growing too proud
to learn trade? Is not the cause found
in the fact that our whole system of edu-
cation has quite ignored our industrial
life? The only legitimate result of our
educational system will be the production
of lawyers and doctors (and ministers), or
at the least, clerks and school teachers.
In consequence of this defect, children
receive the impression that education has
no bearing on mechanics; that trade is
only manual drudgery. The result is that
boys select the most effeminate employ
ment in preference to manly mechanical
work. When our education al system pro-
vides our youth with some intelligent pre-
paration for the prosecution of industrial
labor, the trades will be filed by a more
cultivated class of young men, and our
boys will blush to be found selling pins
and needles; but they will not be asham-
ed to be seen using the hammer and
chisel"

Labor, honest labor, is mighty and beau
tiful. Activity is the ruling element of
life, and its highest relish. Luxurles and
conquests are the results of labor; we can
imagine nothing without it. The noblest
man of earth is he who puts his hands
checrfully and proudly to honest labor.
Labor is a business and ordinance of God.
Suspend labor and where is the glory and
pomp of earth-tbe fruit, fields and pal
aces, and the fashionings of matter for
which men strive and war! Let the labor
scorner look to himself and learn what
are the trophies. From the crown of his
head to the sole of his foot, unless he is a
Carib, naked as the beast, he is the debtor
and slave of toll. The labor which he
scorns has tricked him into the stature and
appearance of man. Where gets he his
garmcntiug and equipage? Let labor
answer. Laber-which makes music in
the mine aud the furrow, and the forge.
O, scorn labor. do you-man who never
vet ca rncd morsel of bread Labor
pities you. proud fool, and laughs you to
scorn. You shall pass to dust forgotten,
but labor will live on forever, glorious in
its conquests and monuments.

Educate Women.

Few have yet realized the enormous
gain that will accrue to society from the
scientific education of our women. If, as
we are constantly being told, the 'spnere
of woman" is at home, what duty can be
more clearly incumbent upon us than
that of giving her the opportunity of ac-
quiring knowledge of the laws which
ought to guide her in the rule of her
house? Every woman on when the man.
agement of household deyolves may prof
it by such knowledge. If the laws of
health were better known, how much i'll
ness and sorrow might be averted What
insight would knowledge of chemistry
afford in the wholesomeness of different
articles of food What added zest would
be given to country walk with the chill
dren, or month by the seaside if the
mother were able to teach the little ones
to observe and revere the
laws of Nature Above all, what untold
what wasted lives, are the PEN
atty we have paid for the prudish ignor-
ance Of the physiology of their bodily
frame in which we have kept our daugh-
ters
