THE EVENING HYMN.


How many days, with mute adieu.
Have gone down yOn untrodden sky,
And yes II looks as clear and blae
As when 10 first was hung on high.
The rolling sun, the frowning cloud
That drew the lightning in its rear
The thunder, tramping deep and loud,
Have left no fOotmark there.
The village bells, with silver chime,
Come so1tened by the distant shore:
Though have heard them many time,
They never rung so sweet before.
As silence rests upon the hill.
A listening awe peryades the air;
The very flowers are shut and still,
And bowed rs IL In prayer.
And in this hushed and breathless close
Oer earth, and air, and sky, and sea,
That still low voice in silence goes,
Which speaks alone, great God OF Thee.
The whispering leaves the far-on brook,
The linnet's MARBLE fainter grown,
The hive-bound bee, the lonely rook,-
All these their Maker own.
Now shine the starry hosts Of light,
Gazing on earth with golden eyes;
Bright guardians OF the blue-browed night,
What are We in your native skies.
know not neither can know,
Nor on what leader ye attend,
Nor whence ye came, nor whittier you GO
Nor what your aim, or end.
I now they must be holy things,
That from room so sacred shine,
Where sounds the beat OF angel-wtngs,
And footsteps echo all divine.
Their my steries never sought,
Nor hardened 20 what science tells;
For Oh, Ia childhood I was taught
That God amidst them dwells.
The darkening woods, the fading trees,
The gTasshopper's last feeble sound,
The flowers just wakencd by the breeze,
All leaves the stiffness more profound.
The twilight takes a deeper shade,
The dusky pathways blaeker grow,
And silence relgns in glen and glade
All, all IL mute below.
And other eyes as sweet rs this
Will close upon rs calm "A day,
And, sinking down the deep abyss,
viii like the last be swept away;
Until Eternity Is gained,
That boundless sea without shore,
That without Time for ever reigned,
And will when Times no more.
Now nature sinks In soft repose,
A living semblance OF the grave;
The dew steals noiseless on the rose,
The boughs have almost ceased 10 wave;
The silent sky, the sleeping earth,
Tree, mountain stream, and humble sod,
All tell from whom they had their birth,
And cry, "Behold Godw

The Want of the Age.

What is the great want of the age !?
More competitive candidates, govern
esses, and clerks? No. More churches |?
No. More curates? Emphatically no.
There is no such thing, my wife tells
me-, said a professional man to me,
lately, 'as obtaining a good cook with a
good character at anything like reason
able wages. And / believe it. We had
one, very plain cook, both in accom-
plishments and manners, to whom we
gave $10O per annum. Finding she
knew nothing, / paid SIS to have her
properly instructed at school of
cookery. This done, she Immediately
demanded that her wages should be
doubled. As we declined to comply,
she left us, and obtained easily 5000 else
where. Rejecting on the loss of our
SIS, my wife proposed that she should
herself take a course of lessons at the
said school, to which joyfully agreed,
and never has our money been better
invested.

Harmony of C0lOrs.

Many ladies with small fortune lay
ished on their dress, look dowdy and
gawky; while others, with only scanty
purse to fall back upon, outshine them
in every particular, because the har-
mony Of colors was studied in the latter
case, and disregarded in the former.
Women should study, individually, the
colors that are most becoming to them.
The real secret of success in dress is to
wear only those colors which hormonize
with the hair,eyes, complexion, and gen.
.eral appearance. 1t is notso much the
style or texture of a garment, as the
colors. If only our American ladies
would be more Independent and select
for themselves whatever is most becom-
ing, without regard for what is worn
abroad, they would soon establish for
themselves a reputation for taste in
dress, which can never be attained by
blindly following>the fashion set for
them by the danes of the Continent.

An ImnOsifiOn.

Is it right to allow transient auction
eers to bring dead stocks of goods into a
town and sell them under the noses OF
business men to the injury of legitimate
business? 1t occurs to us, that it is an
injustice that should not be allowed.
The injury is not only to business men,
but to the whole town. 1t gives per-
mission to broken down establishments
to come and plant themselves by the
side of a firm that pays taxes for i'm
provements and have been doing le-
gitimate business for years, and compete
with them by selling shoddy, worthless
articles at mere nominal figures. Ii
must be extremely CALLING to see these
rowing establishments patronized by
those who have been accommodated by
them, and who perchance may then be
owing them bill. Protection TO those
doing legitimate basiness againstthose
bankrupt, marauding goods venders,
should be one of the chief duties of a
corporation.

Simple Music,

How much greater is the power of an
old song, with simple air and words,
than of those more difficult and artistic
ones which sometimes throw the pro-
fessional musicians into ecstacies of de-
light. 1t may not be because there is
more music or more feeling to them
but they are endeared to the hearts OF
the common people through familiarity
and associated with home scenes of love
and affection, and appeal to sentiments
and feelings that could not be awak-
ened, no matter how artistic, or spark
ling with gems of beauty. When these
hsye become familiar, and associated
with the loves and joys of lifetime
then they will also become "household
words" and awaken the same feelings
but, until such is the case, the simple
songs of yesterday will be the mos
popular,

Make Home Pleasant.

Make home pleasant for the children.
Teach them to find there their most Joy
Gus hours, that, as they grow in years,
and the duties of life call them away,
they may look back with dear remem-
brance to their childhood. The mother
may fancy that she win be happier when
her boys and girls have left her con-
slant watchfulness, but, after all, the
period of playthings, of measles and
whooping cough, of walking stick horses
and tongs, and poker ponies, is the hap
piest for both mother and child. When
her offspring are all about her, their
noise may distract, their incessant wants
weary, but she does not worry over
them as when, later, they go, she knows
not where, and do, she knows not what
1t is best, therefore, to enjoy the period
of infancy as it passes, numbering only
its joys and forgetting its annoyances
smoothing rugged paths for tender feet
and helping young hearts to choose the
good, and growing minds to love ant
seek true wisdom.

Millersburg Silver Cornet Band.

We may justly be proud of this Band
for their excellent playing. They made
a friendly visit to Marbles Masonic
Band in. Akron on the 23rd inst, and
acquitted themselves nobly in the esti-
nation of the citizens of that city
as we heard many compliment them
They We're received by Marbles Band
with a cordiality rarely ever seen
They did everything to make our boys
feel at home, Both Bands had thei1
headquarters together in Rentchlers
Block opposite the Editorial Headquar-
ters, and diseoursed some delightful
music for the benefit of the editors fol
which they have their many thanks.
The two Bands serenaded many of the
prominent citizens of the City in the
early part of the afternoon, and at
o'clock P. NJ. made parade with the
Fire Department through the principal
streets, making a very fine procession
The committees seemed to give special
prominence to the Millersburg Band al.
ways placing them in the front. The
Akron folks know just how to be courte.
Gus and kind. The uniforms of Marble:
Band was admired very much. This
Band is one of the best in the State
without doubt.
We visited the rooms of Babcock';
Band, which are very neatly furnished
This band played at the Banquet in the
evening and certainly has few if any
superiors in the State. The Millersburg
Band visited the rooms of this Band BY
special invitation and were well enter.
tanned.
Marbles Band will visit our town al
some future time and give benefit fol
the Millersburg Silver Cornet Band.

WliiStling.

The man who don't believe in whist
ling. should go step further, and put
muzzle on bobolinks and mocking birds
Whistling is a great institution. 1t oil'
the wheels of care, and supplies the
place of sunshine. A man who whistle;
has a good heart under his shirt front
Such man not only works more will
ingly than any other man, but he work:
more constantly. "A whistling cobbleI
will earn as much money again as a
cordwainer who gives away to low
spirits and Indigestion. Mean or avari-
cious men never whistle. Who ever
heard of whistler among the sharp
practitioners of Wall street? The man
who attacks whistling, throws stone al
the head of hilarity; and would if he
could, rob June of its roses-August OF
its meadow larks. Such man should be
looked TO. Let him be looked to.

Sudden Death.


Mr.. j. NJ. krout, q brother-in-law OF
Rev. 7. H. ID. Bell, of Middletown,
this county, died of consumption, at the
house of Mr.. Bell, on Sunday morning.
He had just arrived at his brothers on
Saturday and was feeling somewhat
tired and restless that evening and all
night. About nine o'clock he walked
up stairs to bed unassisted, and about
half past one came down again. Mr..
Bell then made comfortable bunk for
him near the fire, and pillowed the
rocking chair for him so that he could
use either. He changed from one to the
other several times from that till morn
ing, without assistance, saying he could
help himself very well. About five
o'clock they noticed he was dying, and
before six his spirit had fed. Mr..
Krout was % years of age, and lived in
Dresden, Muskingdum Co., whittier his
brother-in-law took his remains on
Monday.

Fire i'm Wooster.

The city of Wooster was thrown into
a fever of excitement last Saturday
morning, caused by the arrest of two or
three of the firemen belonging to the
Relief No. 4, on the charge of incen-
diarism. On Thursday night about ten
and half o'clock an alarm of fire was
given which proved to be a stable on
fire, in the First Ward, near Beistle's
Carriage Mandatory. The Engines
were promptly on hand, but not until
five stables were entirely consumed,
could the flames be arrested. A keg OF
powder, which was in the loft of Hitch
cock d McIntire's stable, exploded with
loud report, throwing burning Goals and
splinters several squares.
On Friday evening it began to be
whispered around that it had been set
on fire and that skipper" Rice-as he
is called-had done it. He was arrested
and taken before the Justice, where he
acknowledged that he had done the act
and also said that he was told to do Sc
by some of the members of the Relief
just to have a little fun, they thinking
that the fire could be arrested before do
ing any damage. On this testimony
Ben. Beistle and Marion France were
arrested and held over for trial, on bail
of $500 cach. Rice, not being able tc
give bail, was lodged in Jail. The affair
has caused great excitement among the
citizens. Others are also supposed tc
be implicated. Rice, there is no doubt
will go to the Penitentiary, and if the
others are found guilty, which we hope
is not the case, they should be severely
dealt with for thus trifling with property
and life. Had the wind been half a.
high as it was the next day, half of th'
city might have been burned. We shal
give our readers the result of this tria
when it comes off.
