for our homes-comfortab homes Our
happiness there is not dependent on the

of the chandeliers. There is no more
happiness now in the large house than
there was in the three small apartments
of many days ago. Our homes are: our
sscastles of refuge" from the conflicts and
turmoils of our daily life in the world.
Praise God day and night for comforta-

THE GATHERING STORM.

The news of the foul, unprovoked and
utterly inexcusable murder flew from lip
to lip, from man to man, from street to
street, and cry of vengeance was raised.
By ten o'clock the sidewalks on Broad
street swarmed with armed men, who had
determined that the murderer had seen
the sun for the last time At eleven
o'clock the signal was given to move upon
the Jail, when the streets leading to it
were at once filled. Arriving at the
prison the keys were demanded and sur
rendered, the cell opened, and both the
negroes were led forth.
