WAITING FOR THE MAY.


This fine poem Of the Irish poet
Clarence Mangan, properly fits this
season OF 1871.
All! my heart is weary waiting,
Waiting for the May
Waiting for the pleasant rambles
Where fragrant hawthorn branbles,
With the wOOdbine alternating,
Scent the dewy way,
All D.! my heart is weary waiting,
Waiting ior the May.
All! my heart is sick with longing,
-. Longing for the May
Longing To escape from study,
To the lair young face and ruddy,
Aud the thousand charms belonging
To the summers day,
All my heart is sick with longing,
Longing tor the May,
All! my heart is sore with signing
Signing for the May,
SighinS for their sure returning
When the summer beams are bum
ing
Hopes and fiOwers that dead or dying.
All the wiutrr lay.
All! my heart is sore " ith sighing,
Signing for the May.
All. my heart is panied with throb-
bing,
ThrObbing for the May
Throbbing for the seaside billows,
Or the water-wouinG willows,
Where in laughing or in sobbing,
Glide the streams awayI
An! my heart is panied with throb-
bing for the May.
Throbbing for the May.
Waiting. sad, objected, weary,
Waiting Tor the May.
Spring goes BY with wasted warn'
ingS-
Moonlit evenings, sunbrlght morn
inES--
Summer comes yet dark and dreary
Life still GIBBS away
Man Is ever weary, weary,
Waiting toI the May.

The TOOthache.

Two or three weeks ago we
published notice to the effect
that roasted onions applied to
the pulse would relieve the
toothache; and requested any
one trying it to report. Yes.
terday u36ming We received q
note from a young lady, stating
that she applied the remedy to
the wrist of her son on Thurs.
day night, and in ten minutes
the pain had ceased. The rem.
edy is certainly worth trying.

The comment of q colored
preacher on the text ut is
more blessed to give than to
receive" is inimita5le for its
point as " ell as its eloquence:
live known many a church to
die cause 1t didn't give enough
but neber knowed a church
TO die cause it gave too much.
Dey don't die dat way. Bred
ren, has any of you know'd q
church to die cause it gave too
muchs If you do, just let me
know, and I'll make a p,lg i'm.
age to that church, and I'll
climb by the soft light Of the
moon up de moss covered roof,
and III stand dar, and lift my
hands 10 Heaven and say :
Blessed are the dead that die
in the Lord ="

which was all true. But ri h
on this oint | might say that
much remains 10 be d Jue in
Christian lands on the woman
question. All that has been
done for women has been done
by Christiaaity-such Chris
tianlty as We have had. All
the determinations yet re-
naming against women, are
.he relics OF barbarism and
heathenism; yet We see such
good men as DR.. Solomon How.
ard, and Edward D. Mansfield,
npholding these unjust, and
Lnchrislian determinations.
When the pure Christianity
OF the New Testament Is
preached ahd practlsed, We
shall see quite a different state
of affairs. The Apostle Paul
is sometimes quoted as uphold.
ing this heathenism. But lei
all husbands do as Paul en-,
joins in Ephesians, chapter 5,
verses 2S and 33, and the wo-
man question will he Sc tied,
so far as married women are
concerned. $50 ought men to
love their wives, as their own
bodies. lie that loveth his
vile loveth hims "Never>
theless, let every one Of you in
particular SO love his wife even
as himself"
My object is, not to oppose
foreign missions, but 10 call at
tentlon to the Importance oil
so elevating the Christian char,
acter at home, that we can APP
proach the heather with soma
prospect of success.
The heathen have many
vices, but did they ever do
anything more utterly antago-
nistic to Christian character
than our system of human sla,
very which is yet justified by
more than half of our people
counting in the South and the
Northern Democracy.

RANDOM THOUGHTS.
BY THE EDITOR

/ spoke last week about Mrs.
Fry, OF McArthur, lecturing at
this place on the duty of wo-
man in the work Of foreign
missions.
| do not wish 10 say one
word against anything that Ii
good, if | know it; but when |
hear appeals made in behalf of
the heather, | am always re-
minded of the remark made
by John Randolph to the Vir>
ginia lady. She was eloquent.
Iy urging upon him the lmpor-
tance of giving aid to the
Greeks, to secure their indie
pendence. While she was thus
talking, her half naked, halI
fed black slaves were around
the door. The eccentric Ran
dolph, with an exclamation
remarked: "Here madame, are
the Greeks at your door," al
the same time pointing to her
human chattles, who groaned
under an oppression one hour
of which was more 10 be dread.

telligent lady, had perhaps
never thought of this. We are
such creatures OF education
and habit.
would call Mrs. Fry's at
tention 10 one feature of the
home work where the fields are
achtte unto the harvest, and the
laborers are exceedingly few.
The use of tobacco leads direct
ly TO The use of strong drink,
and both are increasing 10 an
alarming degree. The Near
thur papers state at that place
the home OF Mrs. Fry, the
little boys walks the streets
smoking and swearing, and as
a natural consequence, they
get drunk, AMI that even on
The Sabbath day. Do the lit
tie boys in China do as bad as
this?
Mrs. Fry is no doubt much
better acquainted with the
Scriptures than l am, and
would ask her il there is any
thing more unclean than the
use OF tobaccos And does not
