The daily phoenix. [volume] (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, 1872-05-18

CoRREcTIoN.-An article appeared in
the DAILY PHOENIX, OF the 10th instant,
in which it was stated we had been in
formed that Mr.. June! Mobley had been
arrested on charge OF rape at Union.
We have been told since that our in
iormant was in error-no such arrest has
been made. nor eny charge OF such q
nature preferred against the ex-Repre-
sentative; and we, therefore, publish
this correction In justice to him.

BoozER. George E. Windsor, charged
with violation Of the Enforcement Act,
at Chester, in March, 1871, had a hear-
ing, yesterday. before the Commissioner.
Several witnesses we're examined on part
of the prosecution, after which he was
allowed bail in the sum Of So. 900 for his
appearance at the August term OF the
United States Court, to be held in this
city.
SATURDAY NIaHT.-Thank God for
Saturday night! It falls like benedic.
ton upon the dusty workshops. the
busy counting rooms, the various depart
ments Of toiling life, and re.asserts its
original claim to that sweetest word ..of
the Hebrew tongue, 'Sabbath." It
comes like the soft rain upon the parched
earth, the wandering sea-wind to the
weary shore. It is the poor man g
friend; beneath its awakening spell his
heart goes back to the Saturday nights
OF long ago, ere the silver cord which
bound him to the home of his child
hood was loosened. or ever the golden
bowl of q spotless faith was broken. It
| is the poetry of the week. the silver lin
ing to six days round of vexation, dis
appointment and regret. Men of toll,
whether of brain or muscle, 60 home TO
your wives and little ones, resolved to
live better lives. The Saturday night
acM come, and soon, when you can go
home to them no more. Suppress every
impatient word, every hasty reprooi. It
is we'll that Saturday nights come in this
busy life to give US pause and time for
thought. But little while, and death
or distance will break up and scatter the
little household. When the wee toddling
feet are cold beneath the violets, you
would give the world to have them back.
You would not become impatient at their
noise-if only you could but hear their
echo once more. The time of separation
comes sooner or later, and never very
late. 1t is estimated that not one house
hold out OF twenty retains it's little circle
unbroken longer than seven years. Oh,
We could love our brother, our sister, go
much better if they were only with us
once more. No harsh word should
grieve the heart OF father or mother-if
they could only come back! Alas. this is
the language of the world-the air is
filed with farewells to the dead; and yet
we should never pause to reflect but for
Saturday night.
Beauties often die old maids. They
set such value on themselves that they
don't find purchaser before the market
is closed.
No man is so Insignificant as to be
sure his example can do no hurt.
Those who value themselves on their
ancestry have been we'll compared to po-
tatoes-all that is good Of them is under
the ground.
