WATCHING AND WAITING

The following was one of the latest.
IL not The very last, of the religious songs
SET 10 music by the late p P. Bliss, who,
IN connection with Ira d. Sankev, was
Inc writer of so many of the Gospel
hymns which have become so popular
IN many Of our churches and Sunday
schools, and who, with his wife, were
among the Unbound victims of the awful
tragedy at Ashtabula ::
when my final farewell to the world have
said,
~ And gladly lie down to my rest;
hen sofIiy the watcher shall say sHe is
Dead
And fold my pale hands DER my breast !;
And when. with my glol itied vision, at last
Inc walls of the city | see
I'll any one then at the beautiful gate
stand waiting and watching for me?
There are little ones glaneing about in my
- In want of friend and guide;
mere are dear little eyes looking up into
Whose tears might be easily dried;
But Jesus may beckon the children away.
Ill, In the midst OF their grief and their g!ee;
III any one then at the beautiful gate
Be watching and waiting for me?
There are old and forsaken who Iinger
awhile
In homes which their dearest have left;
Aud few gentle words, or an action of
love,
May cheer their sad spirits bereft!
But the Reaper is near 10 the long-standing
corn,
The weary will soon BE- set free,
VIII any of them at the beautiful gate
BE watching and waiting for me?
Oh! should be brought there by the boun-
tiful grace
OF Him who delights to forgive;
Though bless not the weary about in my
path.
Pray only for self while | live,
Methinhs | should mourn DER my sinful
neglect,
Ii sorrow in Heaven can be,
Should no one love, at the beautiful gate,
Be watching and waiting for me.

Forgiveness.

A soldier was about to be brought be-
fore his commanding officer for some Of
fence. He was an old offender, and had
been often punished. "Here he is again,
(said the officer, on his name being men
toned " fogging - disgrace SOLITARY
Observation-Disclosures been tried
with him." Whereupon the sergeant
stepped forward, and, apologizing for the
liberty he took, said There is one thing
which has never been done with him yet,
sir" "What is that?" said the officer.
"Well, sill" said the sergeant, 81 he has
never been forgiven" forgiven" ex-
claimed the colonel, surprised at the sug-
gestion. He reflected for few minutes,
ordered the culprit to be brought in, and
asked him what he had to say to the
charge? Nothing, sir" was his reply.
"only | am sorry for what / have done.
Turning kind and pitiful look on the
man, who EXP ected nothing else than that
his punishment would be increased with
the repetition of his offence, the colonel
addressed him, saying: "Well, we have
tried everything with you, and now we
are resolved to-forgive you !" The
soldier was struck dumb with amaze
ment The tears started in his eyes, and
he wept like child. He was BUNDLED
to the dust and, thanking his officer,
he retired-To be the old, refractory, in
corri3le man MOI from that day for
ward he was a new man He who told
us the story had him for years under his
eye, and better conducted man never
wore the Queens colors. In him, kind
ness bent one whom harshness could not
break. Theman was conquered by mer-
cy, and melted by love.
Have you to do with one with whom
you have tried every kind of punishment
in vain? The next time you are going
to strike the blow, stay your hand, and
say: &C Well, | have tried everything
with you now / have resolved to forgive
YOU" Who knows but You also may
touch the secret chord of that heart, and
find the exquisite lines of the poet true:
Each block Of marble in the mine
COnceals the Paphian Queen:
Apollo robed in light divine,
And Pallas, the serene:
1t only needs the lofty thought,
To give the glories birth
And 10 by skilul fingers wrought,
They captiYate the earth
So-in the hardest human heart,
One little well appears,
A fountain in some hidden part,
Brimful OF hidden tears,
1t only needs the master-tOuch
OF loves or PHYS hand;
And loi the rock with water burst
And gushes DER the land.

~rIsrers are now in jail One of them,
\, Terrell, made a confession to-day,
rs5 throws the crime on one james
i 1nt King denies any knowledge OF
a. crime. The prevailing opinion Is
Terrell did most Of the horrible work.
4 The murdered man was q thrifty farmer
ssi it was generally supposed be had
gaasv about his house. Terrell says
aer met him about half a mile from the
/ house, aad King, without any warning,
walked up and deliberately shot him IN
| be bowels; then there ensued a tHssel,
l1rIug which King shot him in the breast
Gee and twice in the neck. His victim
5ased up an old corn cutter and threw
Hing and struck him in the back.
ABg seized the corn cutter and struck
a0d man over the head, cleaving the
... then finished his work with a club.
IlEthen went to q small stream, washed
lar hands, and then went to the house.
King took m AK from the porch, went
g0 the house, and presently came out
via the old lady; they walked together
n5ueut when, without warning, he
sck her with the AK across the head,
ar.y cutting it III twain. She fell, and
struck her across the neck, seyerlng
he iuruIar vein. He then ran into the
.5r.a, and the young lady, seeing the
rv and blood besmeared weapon, ran
the front door. The Srute pursued
ana overlook her before she bad taken
-lay steps and dealt her blow on the
shoulder, sinking the AK to the handle.
This brought her to the ground, and he
struck her on the back Of the head,
Pitting it wide open He again lifted
is weapon and struck her across the
-s.t, almost severing the head from the
body He then threw the AK down by
bis victim and probably went into the
house TO find the money. When arrested
hey had about eleven dollars on their
person The excitement intense. About
fifteen hundred people have gathered
about the premises, and fears are enter
aiued that there will be an attempt to.
night to take the prisoners from the Jail
and lynch them. The militia are under
arms, a..d lot of extra police have been
sworn in. The latest developments go
lar to show that King was not concerned
in this heIIsh crime. He is known to
have been in Logan at four o'clock, on
che day Of the murder, and at eight
o'clock the same night. Terrell says the
murder was committed between SIX and
seven o'clock in the evening. Late TIN;
evening numerous small groups of mer
Eere seen quietly talking on the streets
Of Logan, including men from ditteren
parts Of the county. Trouble is evident

New England Free Lovers.
A CONVENTION OF IMMODE5T INNoVA-
TORs-IND ECENT SPEECHES AND M
MORAL RESOLUTIONS.

The New England free lovers have
been indulging in another of their dis
graceful gatherings in Boston this week.
They commenced their Convention Sun
dav forenoon. and after holding half q
dozen sessions, wound up with a spirited
row at an eariey hour this morning. In
defining the purposes of the singular
tribe of men and women who participate
in these frequent meetings in Boston it
is only necessary to say that they openly
encourage and defend RIGHTEOUSNESS in
in almost every conceivable form, and
the utterances of both sexes at the sever
al sessions on this occasion were worthy
only of the most depraued of the human
kind.
LEADERS AND FOLLOWERS OF THE DOC
TRINE.
Those most prominent in this move
ment, which seems to have gained an
alarming Roadway in New England at
least. are Mr.. and Mrs. E. II. Haywood,
of Worcester county; George O. Waite,
of Maine; DIR. 0. H. Dillingham;, of Bos-
ton; A. B. Weston, man named Cluer,
of Boston, and a couple of self styled di-
vines in the persons OF Rev. Mr.. Barnes
and Rev. Moses Hull, the latter editor
ard proprietor of a weekly newspaper
devoted to the cause which he so indus
triously espouses.
SPEECHES AND RESOLUTIONS.
None of the speakers endeavored t.
define their sentiments in chaste language
but, on the contrary, were disgustingly
obscene, the women speakers generally
excelling in this respect. One OF the lat
ter, in particular, seemed to speak tor the
edifeatinn and delight of that portion OF
the audience given to debauchery, and
her remarks appeared to find hearty
response in the minds of many womeI
vho listened to her The Rev. Mr.
| Hull was more than usually eloquen
and enthusiastic in his advocacy OF hi:
| peculiar views, and the resolutions which
were offered by Mr.. Haywood surpassed
| in indecency anything ever before sub
mitted TO public meeting. Only one
out of the series of seven which were OF
fered is in language fit for publication
and it is herewith appended =
Resolved, That the arrest of Charlie
! BradIaugh and Mrs. Anne Besant, 10
difusing useful information concerning
the generative function among common
English people, and the inquisitorial ca
J reer of Anthony Comstock, approved b.
ecclesiastical, literary and political au
tborities hege, show the extent to which
the "ruling classes" would hinder en-
| lightenment on the gravest OF SUBJECTS
that, nevertheless, it is not only tn
right but the most serious duty OF all t
study love and proclaim its truths, how
ever imperious or maleVolent opposition
thereto may be.
