HEAVEN OUR HOME.

The sailor on tempestuous seas
When black and wild the night,
Stands fearless at the shuddering helm
With eye upon the light.
Now flashing redly from the reef,
Now flickering in the breeze,
That beckons to a land-locked bay
Away among the trees.
The beacon-light of faith and hope
Burns warmly in his breast,
! And lures him on with angle dreams
Of home and love and rest.
Through whirling eddies, foaming waves
Towards the flaming goal
The little bark sails, staunch and true,
To where the breakers roll.
o pilot, hold her to the wind,
Nor let her fall away,
Or vain will be the cherished hopes.
That cheered thee many a day!
Rough are the waves, broad is the deep
That throbs tween shore and shore,
And firm the hand that steers the land
Where bursting pillows pour.
The dangers of the deep is passed,
The boat is in the bay,
The beacon-light is burning bright
Among the shadows gray;
The breeze is fresh and rising still,
The spray is on the bow,
And the sailors heart is beating fast,
For home awaits him now.
Home with its welcome fond and kind,
Its ruddy glow of health,
Its calm, unutterable joy,
Its store of boundless wealth;
Its summer eve or vine-clad porch,
Its winter by the blaze,
When moans.th blast among the boughs
In sad and plaintive days.
Its autumn when the forests are white,
And chestnut burs are brown,
And changing verdure decks the hills,
With gold add ruby gown;
It's spring-time of reviving plants
And soft, refreshing rain
Toward home the spirit ever turns,
Nor longs to roam again.
All, life is but restless sea
Whose billows fiercely crash,
And deadly blasts and treacherous tides
Deep down the good ship dash!
But home awaits the sailor brave,
And faithful to the end
A Heaven Of rapture infinite,
With Jesus for his friend.

A little excitement was created at
Charleston, on Saturday by difficulty
which took place in the Hale House
between a Mr.. Moore, of that place,
and Mr.. George o. Davenport, Of
Wheeling The difficulty originated
in a careless remark made by Mr. Dav-
export the night previous, at Hop in
the dining room of the Hale, which
Mr.. Moore considered a reflection on
his wife. He met Mr.. Davenport in
the rotunda of the Hale House, on Sat
urday morning, and called him to ac-
count. A few words passed between
them when Mr.. Moore drew pistol
and attempted 10 shoot Mr.. Davenport,
who succeeded in getting out Of the
way. The rotunda was crowded with
gentlemen, who made general rush
for the doors when Moore drew his
pistol. He was, however prevented by
interposition of one or two cool heads,
from firing, and the excitement was
soon cooled down.

USELESS WoRRY.-Life has great
troubles in store for all of us and few
live to be men and women without
knowing terrible grief. But, fortunate
ly, these intense moments cannot fill all
the years. Time helps us to forget at
least, the sorest of the pain. 10 every
one would come some joy but for the
little worries that happen with the pas
sing hours-cares about money and the
cost of things, small quarrels, petty
iealousies, false shame, and an awful
dread of what ''they" will think if we
take little comfort. and dress and eat
to suit ourselves, and know people We
like whether they are "genteel" or not,
and say what we mean, instead OF what
is expected.
Worries eat the life away. They
gnaw and bite wrinkles into the face,
and bring gray hairs on the head, and
half the time they are not only abso-
lutely needless but absurd. Why in
the name of all that is sensible, can We
not wait until the draught of sorrow is
forced to our lips, and not sup needless
ly at the cup of gall and wormwood ?
If every man could say 10 himself,
"Small worries shall most certainly not
lengthen my face" if every woman
could rofuse to fret over such trihes as
impudent cooks, and napkins with un-
timely holes in them. more of us would
live out the threescore aud ten years al
lotted to us by Heaven, and We should
all certainly be much better company
while we lasted.

CALIFORNIA WINE MAKING.-Mr.
Charles Nordhof, formerly of the New
York Evening Post, who has embodied
in volume lately published the results
of tour of studious and careful obser-
vation on the Pacific coast, gives the
following testimony in relation to wine
making in California
81 have now seen the grape grow in
almost every part of California where
wine is made. The temptation to
new settler in this State is always
strong to plant vineyard, and am
moved by much that have seen to re-
peat publicly the advice that l have
often given to persons newly coming
into the State: DO mol make ,oine. /
remember a wine cellar. and on
pleasant sunny afternoon, around these
casks, group Of tipsy men-hopeless,
irredeemable beasts, with nothing much
to do except to encourage each other to
another glass, and to wonder at the
Eastern man who would not drink.
There were two or three Indians stag
gering about the door; there were
swearing and filthy talk inside: there
was a pretentious tasting of this, that,
or the other cask by parcel of sots,
who in their hearts would have preferr-
ed forty rod whisky. And little way
off there was a house with women and
children in it, who had only to look out
of the door to see this miserable sight
of husband, father, friends, visitors, and
hired men in spending the afternoon in
getting drunk
Mr.. Nordhoff says:
81 advise no settler in the State to
make wine. He runs too many risks
with children and laborers, even if he
himself escapes.
KENrucKr.-The Temperance Advo-
cate says that at the recent elections in
towns and districts of the State on local
option, POI out of 239 voted prohibi-
tion, and 32 voted for license. Paris
voted against local option and in favor
of license, and celebrated the victory
with whisky and drunkenness, in which
one man was stabbed and killed by
another in drunken row. Millersburg,
which voted license also, celebrated
her "victory" by murder. BY their
fruits ye shall know them.
In Rutland, Vermont, over one hun
dred saloon keepers have been fined
under the prohibitory liquor law. They
have to pay their fines or go to jail.
In Iowa, the widow of an ex-County
Treasurer has sued liquor seller for
the death of her husband, claiming
damages to the amount of $4,000.
Indictments have been fonnd in Tai
bott county, Maryland, against every
saloon keeper in the county, for viola
ton Of the Local Option law.
New York City receives annually
S530,OOO for licensing the liquor trade,
and pays sl,50O,000 for the support of
paupers.

has been inaugu rated in some of the
large cities of Great Britain.
