OPEN IMMEDIATELY.

THE ccrtainest, surest thing know,
Whatever, what else, may yet befall
Of blessing or bane, of veal or woe,
Is the truth that is fatefulest far of all
That the Master will knock ut my door some
night,
And there in the silence hushed and dim,
Win wait for my coming with lamp alight,
To open Immediately to Him.
wonder if I, at His tap, shall spring
In eagerness up, and cross the floor
With rapturous step, and freely fling,
In the murk of the midnight, wide the
" ~ door? u sye..f .fal
Or will there be work to be put away?
Orthe taper, that burns too low, to trim?
Or something that Graves too much delay
To open Immediately to Him?
Or shall with whitened fear grow dumb,
The moment hear the sudden knock,
And startled to think He hath surely come,
Shall falter and fail to, find the lock-
And keep Him SO waiting, as stand
Irresolute while my senses swim?
Instead of the bound with Outstretched hand,
To open Immediately to Himl .r
If this is the only thing foretold
OF all of my future-then, pray,
That, quietly watchfui, may hold
The key of a golden faith each day
Fast shut in my grasp, that when hear
His step, be it dawn or midnight dim,
Straightway may rise without fear,
And open Immediately to Himl

MARRIAGES between Christians and
Jews are allowed, in Austria, but pro.
hibited in Hungary. The Chief Rabbi Of
Szegedin was recently asked to MARY
a Jewess to a Roman Catholic who had
"gone over'' to Judaism at Vienna
The good Rabbi, fearing for his skin
thought it advisable to consult the Gov;
eminent. The Government decided
that he had better let the affair alone
as the marriage would be null, the law
not allowing Christians to join per
suasion that was not Christian. Thus
the would-be bridegroom and Jew re-
manned in spite of himself a Christian
and legal bachelor. The Hungarian
Jews are now agitating for the lesa,
recognition of their religion, for mlxea
marriages and for obligatory civil mar
rage. r Iu uu.,

MY VALENTINE.

THERE is frost upon the hair
Banded meath the snowy cap,
On her brow are lines of care,
And the thin hands in her lap
Are not quite so fair and tine
AS they were in aud lang syne,
Sweetest wife, is
My Valentine.
1t is forty years ago
Since stole with timid foot
Through the lingering afterglow,
Past the oaks entrusted root.
Past the cedar and the pine,
Wishing, hoping, she were mine,
Pride of lite,
My Valentine.
Peering through the latticed pane,
Clear saw my true loves face;
Turned and left and turned again,
fingered there, while time and place
Hailowed grew, for like shrine
Seemed that sheltered hearth of thine,
Dear, my wife,
My Valentine.
Then slipped beneath the door
Something satin bound and white;
1t would lie upon the floor
In the moonbeam's tender light,
That beseeching note of mine,
Suing for that heart of thine,
SWeet, my WIG,
My Valentine.
Wooing ways, they tell me, now
Are more sensibly arranged:
Truth to tell, see not how
Love and honor have not changed,
Still must man find half divine
That fair woman who shall shine
On his life,
His Valentine.
And beside our household fire,
Dearest, crown of all my years,
More than ever my desire,
Sharer of my joys and tears,
Gratefully call thee mine,
Proudly own that am thine,
Sweetest wife,
My Valentine.

The Lana Bill Cri.i. over.

LONDON. August 17.-Supply will be
hurried through the Commons as fast as
possible and probably propagation will
take place next week. Everybody, OUT
side OF the ranks Of the extreme Radl-
Gals, Is satisfied with the adjustment OF
the difficulties between the Lords and
the Government, although 1t is regretted
that the abandonment of Mr. ParneIl's
clause will give the agitators handle
for renewed agitation. The. Radical
clubs, which had everything in readiness
for crutade against the upper House,
are greatly disappointed with the Pre-
mier's action, for they mad counted upon
drawing attention away from the "falr-
trade" agitation by making vigorous
onslaught on the "hereditaiy legisia-
tors. Irish landlords say they are sorry
the Lords did not accept the Parnell
clause; it could not have deepened the
injury which the bill will irAict on
them, while II abandonment will proba-
bly, lead to more agrarian strife.

Trouble over q Goat.

Peter Grady, stable-keeper for the
Harlan & Hollingsworth Company,
had billy-goat, which was quite q
favOrlte around the yard, and to which
Grady and other workmen were much
attached. A few days ago the goat
was missed, and after a diligent search
of forty-eight hours was found In the
cellar Of Geo. W. Vernon, proprietor
of the Republican, two sons Of Mr..
Vernon, Henry and William, claiming
its ownership. Mr.. Grady demanded
the goat, which was refused, where
upon he demanded ten dollars for Its
value. This was also refused, when
Grady went before Esquire Bertolette,
and swore out warrants against the
Vernon boys for the larceny of the
goat. Before the warrants we're serv-
ed, however, the father of the boys
settled the case by paying the Magis-
s'rate's costs and five dollars to Grady
for the goat. The Vernon boys claim.
ed that the goat was given to them BY

A brutal fight occurred yesterday
near Morris Station, between George
Blansfield and Miles T. Jones. The
quarrel was caused by dispute over
the ownership of woodland, where
they we're cutting whiteoak. Each
accused the other with intruding on
his premises in bitter language which
soon led to blows. Blansfield knocked
Jones down with his fist, causing him
to use his axe. Both men we've cut
badly about the face, and their shirts
were torn from their backs. Jones
finding Blansfieid too much for him

DOMESTIC DIFFICULTIES.
A Wife, Charging Her Husband
with Inndeltty, Throws Pepper In
His Eyes,

A Wife, Charging Her Husband
with Inndelity, Throws Pepper I'm
His Eyes.
York, August ia serious and
long continued family quarrel between
John l.. Henry, baker, residing upon
South George street, and his wife,
eliminated tonight in the latter
throwing cayenne pepper into the eyes
and face of her husband, Between
the husband and wife there has long
been q misunderstanding, and their
married life has been anything but q
happy one. They have resided to-
gether at times, but after frequent
qnarrels would live apart for awhile.
Last night the neighbOrs state they
began quarreling and disputing, and
Mr.. Henry was Obliged to flee from his
residence, his wife threatening to take
his life with an axe. This threat,
Henry asserts, she has frequently
made before and endeavored to put it
execution, but he avoided her. Early
this afternoon Mrs. Henry appeared
before. H Magistrate and sued out .
warrant for the arrest of her husband
upon the charge of assault and battery
and asked that he be bound over to
keep the peace. Before the warrant
was served, however, she had it with
drawn and took the matter into her
ewn hands, and, procuring a quantity
of cayenne pepper, she approached her
husband whilst he was sitting in the
yard, and cautiously threw the pepper
in his eyes, charging him at the same
time with inhdelity. Henry, suffering
the most intense pain, got into the
street, where he was assisted to a
physicians Office, and an antidote ap-
piled to his eyes. His suffering is be-
yond description and he begs to be
killed. His eyes are fearfully swollen
aud the physicians only with the great.
est difficulty can dress them. His
eyeslght will probably be destroyed
Mrs. Henry has not as yet been ar
rested, but has closed her house and
denies any one admission, even for
bidding that her husband be brought
in TO have his injuries attended to.

difticult TO recuperate. The people
looked back upon gloomy past, and
before them was an equally rayless fu-

cities had disappeared, and nowhere
was there visible the natural evidences
OF present or future prosperity. Just

The South generally is feeling the

manufactures and cotton mills are

fresh products which cannot now be

hands with Northern wealth, diversi-
ned industries are supplanting the
hitherto exclusive cultivation of a sin

along rapidly toward her proper pace

LONDON, August 1s.-A banquet was
given to Hon. William NJ. Evarts last
light by Mr.. Puleston, NJ. p, at the
Conservative Club. Mr.. Puleston, in
proposing the health of his distinguished
guest, spoke Of the gloom the Presidents
relapse caused throughout England, and
expressed fervent hope for his recovery.
He thought that after President Gar.
fisld's convalescence the net results OF
Guiteau's crime would not be altogether
unfortunate, ~ it had brought into
strong relief the great sympathy OF Eng
land for America, and strengthened the
ties between the two countries.
Sir William Palisser paid high com
pliment to American artillery officers
by saying that their records Of gun test
ing were by far the most complete in
the world.
Mr.. Aguew spoke of the increasing
art exports TO America, and pleaded fol
copyrights, aud one or two conservative
free-traders hoped America would finally
see the error Of her protective ways.
Mr.. Evarts responded 10 the happiesi
