ONLY A LITTLE:CLOUD.

Take eourage-'tis alittle cloud
That soon will pass away;
The hearts that now with grief bow
May Only grieTe'to-day.
Tomorrow, up the azure height,
The sun may dart his beam,
And then one joyous burst Of light
Ger mount and vale shall stream.
When thwarted plans and bafiedhopes
Become our only store,
And the crushed spirit barely copes
With ills unknown before
Despond not; yet the tide will turn
The gales propitious play
Take courage-'tis a little cloud
That soon will pass away.
When doubts eclipse the ray CT JOY,
And fears their shadows cast;
When rugged seems the way to bliss,
And foes come crowding fast
Faint not; amightierpowerthan thine
Is pledged these foes TO slay
Light shall at lasi around the shine
The cloud shall pass away.

Dear Register-N Noticing III your last

to allow him the undivided honors OF a
correspondent, from this section OF the
State. concluded to give YOU few .lot-
tings myself, hoping they may be &C
ceptable to yourself and the many read
ers, of your valuable paper.
First in order comes our Railroad, the
all important topic of the times. The
great Chesapeake Il Ohio, Gas your late
correspondent told you,) is rapidly lynear-
inc completion. Flaming Posters have
made their appearance throughout the
city. warning the inhabitants to Look
ont for the Locomotive, and calling
them together to decide upon proper
means to celebrate the great event, the
arrival of the first train, through from
Richmond. | think | have rightly

in a preat measure.the future prosperity
and growth of Huntington. The open

CHRISTIAN INFLUENCE.

1t is q question of the greatest grayl-
tv and one which comes home to every
truly Christian heart with much force,
does the religious element among us as
communities WELD that power in favor
of vital christianity that it should or in
proportion to the means with which 1t
is invested? ? The tendency as a gene
raj thing in the religious world is to for
mality Of practice. The Church III its
past history presents periods of very
GREAT decline and low states Of grace
from which it could only be aroused by
the Proyidential enterposition and rails
ING up of bold, earnest, spiritual defend
ers of the faith who went forth as fam
mo torches in the midst OF the universal
darkness that prevailed. The condition
of the church or churches with us is not
analogous to that. when Luther boldly
denounced the errors of Romanlsm, or
to that when the Wesleys and White
field. by their zeal and eloquence awoke
the slumbering apathy. But may not
the question be pertinently as ked are the
churches individually or is the church
in its collective capacity making :mroads
upon the powers Of darkness? Seeking
actively and earnestly the conversion
of souls and bringing such into lis told!
Does it in i word show progress i'll Its
open and avowed conflict with sin and
satan ? BY its active strategy and use
of spiritual forces break theirpower and
cripple their means for evil? Rescue
from their embrace and show the man
renewed by the Gospel clothed and IN
his right mind.
Formality of life on the pant Of church
members may prevent what was design
ed by the founder Christ to be the inhe-
rent force of his church, an active pro-
gressiye spirit Of encroachment upon
the enemy's strong holdS-a crying
aloud and sparing not-a zeal that won
down but uses every means at It's dis
posal to accomplish the object. This
prevalence Of formality and want Of ac-
tive zeal may be stumbling block to
the world, because OF which the world
may question its claims to lis being The
true church.
The Church too falling to purge itse't
Of obnoxious members but retaiuingsuch
in its fold, however good its intention,
though they be notoriously eNceptiona-
bic in life and conduct, has an injurious
effect. What will and does the world
say when the church holds and admits
to its holy Of holies persons who may
be engaged in traffic the most delete
rious and damning of all others Where
bv the cords of society are most mloos
ed-the moral and better feelings Of
mems souls are most destroyed and those
great ends for which her Head establish
ed her are most prevented. What, |
ask with emphasis, does all this tend to!
1t unquestiona0ly helps TO make inhdelS
and unbeleyers The world with rea-
son wags its head at profession of
sanctity when the practice is il such
direct opposition. The Church we hold
should be above suspicion, should hold
herself far beyond doing or permitting
that. which is subyersive Of all the good
of which it is the embodiment and de
signed to be the active promoter.

Two LADIES LEAEN \ LEssON-A
sholt time since a lady in San Francisco
opened letter addressed to her hus-
band, and found in it 4 circular from a
finn that offered to send large amount
Of counterfeit money for a small sum in
greenbacks. The counterfeit money
was described as being so admirably got
up as to defy detection, and the circular
was eloquent as to the fortune which
the firm thus placed within the grasp
Of any enterprising citizen.
The wife showed the circular to her
mother, and the two were struck with
the idea. They sent fifty dollars to the
firn.and awaited the arrival Of the com
terleit money-one thousand dollars
with feelings Of irrepressible impatience.
After time gentleman called, who
bore the name OF the senior member Of
the firm, to hand them the counterfeit
money in person. The ladies received
him privately in the parlor, and when
they extended their hands TO receive
five hundred dollars apiece, the gentle
man. to their horror, slipped handouts
on their wrists, and announced himself
to be a United States detective Then
followed screams, fainting and harrow
ing scene. The husband was sent for.
He came. The wife told her story, and
the fettcrs were removed from her own
ard her mothers wrists, and the detec-
tive left, but the lesson which the oc-
currence taught the two women still re-
mains.

the fresh protest against the sloyenliness

nough to train slightly when used in the
house or carriage. they are invariably
provided with numerous loops and but
tons to shorten them when worn in the
street Ladies have found ii difficult to
shorten their skirts gracefully to pre-
vent them from dipping between the
loops, but it is quite possible to do this,
provided enough loops and buttons are
supplied. The best plan is to put the
loops on the outside Of the skirt a short
distance below the belt. Instead Of
braid or cord loops use tiny squares Of
silk doubled or lined with musiin,) IN
each of which button hole is made.

She was born on the 2lst-engaged on

She was evidently in the throes Of dis
