u Father, Conic Home.”
Music has drawn many a heart back
from yielding to a temptation it was on
the point of doing, and binds the worlc
together in stronger bonds of brother¬
hood than anything else of a humaniz¬
ing tendency. Bnt how much more ef¬
fective when aided by a little dramatic
effect. A Loudon correspondent gives
an affecting description of the singing
of the pathetic ballad of ‘Father, come
Home,’ in one of the London theatres,
which left but few^ dry eyes in the
house, and must have nerved to strong¬
er resolutions, any present who were in
the habit of giving way to the weak¬
ness of indulging in intoxicatiig drinks
to excess. This correspondent, de¬
scribing the jscene, says that the lady
came in front of the curtain, amid
great applause, and commenced: ‘Fa¬
ther, dear Father, fyc.’ Every word
was distinct, and she sang the ballad
with great feeling. In order, however,
to describe the scene which followed
each verse, it is necessary to give little
Mary’s song:
“Futlier, dear father, come home %i*,h me noTT,
.Th© dock in (he ateeplo striven one ;
Yoa promiHod, dear father, that you vnild com*
home,
As soon aa your day's work was is don©. datfc,
Our fire has gone out—our liou* 1 ' all
And mothor’s been watching i*iue» iea,
Wi h poor little Benny tick inker arms,
Aud no one to help her bat me.
Come lioBic, coifle home, co»e home,
Please lather, dear fithcr, co«e home.
At the conclusion of the last line,
the drop-scene drew op, disclosing the
father sitting at the door of a public
house, in a drunken state, with pipe and
bottle before him. Little Mary was
trying to drag him from his s*>at, at the
same time pointing to a curtain behind,
as she took up the refrain from the lady
and touchingly sang, ‘Come home, &c.*
The other curtain was now drawn
aside, disclosing a wretched room, with
the poor -mother sitting on the ground
with a sickly looking boy in her lap,
and in the act of feeding him with a
spoon. Simultaneously with the draw¬
ing of the curtain, the light was thrown
upon the tableaux, giving them a truly
startling effect. After a moment or
two, the act-drop ctvmo dowu, aud the
lady proceeded:
“Father, dear father, come home with me now,
The cloak in the steeple strikes 'wo ;
The night has grown ©older, and Benny is wow,
But he haa been culling for yon.
Indeed he is worse, mother says he trill die,
Perhaps before morning-hull dawn.
And this is th® me*B*ge she wnt me to bring—
Como quickly or b© will be gone.
Come home, come home, come home,
Please, father, dear father, come home.
The act-drop rises again, and now
the child has hold of the bottle, trying
to take it from the drunken parent, and
as she continues the two last lines, the
curtain is drawn aside, and we see the
child stretched out in its mother’s lap,
and it just raise* its head aud falls back
with a gasp. With the lime light re¬
flecting strongly upon it, there was a
reality about the whole, terrible to
view. * Sobs were heard from all parts
of the hall, coming from the female
part of the audience, while tears was
seen on many a manly cheek. Even
the lady who sang the song could not
well with the third verse:
“Father, dear father, eome h. m* with me now,
The clock in the eteeple atrike* three ;
The home ia eo lonely, the houra so long.
For poor weeping mother nnd me
Yea, we’re alone, peor Benny is dead.
And gone with th,- angel* of light
And these arc the very last words that h,e said—
*1 want to kies p«pa —goodnight.*" ,
Come home come home.com'* home,
Please, father, dear father, come home."
Again the drop
little Mary on her knees^>ealmg to
her father, who, with bottle elevated, is
in the act of striking her with it, when
she sings, ‘Come home,’ and then the
back curtain draws aside, showing a
mother praying over a child’s coffin.—
But the sobs now break out more tree
ly, and two females are carried out
fainting. The scene was most truly
harrowttig-
An additional verse was sung about
‘poor Benny’ being with the angels
above. The drop rose, the father, sober
now, is weeping over the coffin, with
little Mary on his knees, singing, ‘Dear
Father con^Thome.'** At this minute
the curtain’s drawn aside, little Benny
is suspended over the coffin with wings,
smiling down on them, pointing up¬
ward. The father falls forward upon
his face, the net- J rop descends, and for
a minute all is l^feiied save the sobs of
the audience.
A Short Sermon. —A man who had
been led to see his siufulness and fear¬
ful doom, being surprised that he was
allowed to uo on quietly in impenitence,
exclaimed, ‘No one ever spoke to me
of my salvation.’ There were in the
place many Christians who professed to
be anxious for the conversion of souis.
If lie had been starving, some one
would have given him bread. If he
had been sick, some one would hr»ve
sent for a physician. If be had been
naked, some one would have clothed
him. But bis soul was wretched and
miserable, and poor, and blind and nak¬
ed, yet no one pitied him. He yvbs
blamed, he was shunned, but he was
not treated as a fellow creature, whose
soul was exposed to eternal wrath,
ought to bq, treated.
Is there any one living near yon that
can say, *no one ever spoke to me of
my salvation?’ You talk about the
weather, the crops, and births, accidents
and deaths i do you ever speak to any
one of Jesus? Do you ever affection¬
ately tell any one to flee from the wrath
to come ? If not, is it kind ? is if taiih
ful ? Is it, honest to your Christian
profession ? Does it accord with your
prayers? Can you consistently pray
for a revival of religion ? Can you
have any compassion for souls or any
lore for Christ ? Never let any one die
in your neighborhood, or even iive loug
in your midst, nnd bo able to say, ‘no
one twer spoke to me of my salvation.*
A tear, a sigh, a kind word, a pressure
of the hand of Christian sympathy, a
verse of the Bible, a page of pious
reading, with the blfeesing ol the II.d>- and
Spirit, may save a soul iron* (j uaih ,
hide a m ulu t>i nn.
7TTTTsc Choice. —The American Bap¬
tist tells the following good srory, and
wc commend it to young readers of
both sex.
‘ Wnere did you first meet with your
britle ?’ I said to a young friend of mine,
whflTihvited n»e to hts wedding.
His reply was: A year ago I was one
of a large dinner party of ladies and
gcntlemeu, at which a young l**dy was
noticed not to drink any wine. Our
host observed it, and .said : *
• A glass of wine with you miss?’
• Excuse me, sir,’ said she.
• What excuse/ Are y$u a teetotaler?
What/ have we a teetotaler bete? Ha,
ha! a teetotaler! why, do you never
drink YVine ?
• Never, sir ’
• Why not V
• From principle, sir.’
‘Nothing more was said. Her decision
of character deeply impressed her, aatisfied cue. I
sought an introduction to
that one of such priucip’ea would make*
tuu a good cotnjinnion. 1 became a
teetotaler myself, and uow she has just
become my wife. That’s why I mar¬
ried her*’
Our friend was right. Such a young
latly will make h fine woman, Would
there Yvere more like her.
IVeor a Smilt .—Which will you do,
smile and make others happy, or be
crabbed nud make everybody around
miserable ? Yon can live Among
flowers and sitlgUig- Hrds, or til the mil t?
surrounded by logs aim ftOg4. T lie B
mount of happiness which YOU can pro
duce is incalculable, il YOU will show
‘ look8f words, and a fretful
our cro „
disposition, you can make hundreds un¬
happy almost beyoud endurance. Now,
which will you do, wear a smile;* let
j»y beam in your countenance and ove
"‘^"“a ^ich .pring, from a kind
act or pj eMaut tjeed, and you may feel
j t night when you rest, and »n the

Friends and Neighbors Having
just opened a licensed shop for the sale
ol liquors in this place, I embrace this
opportunity of iufbrming you that on
Saturday nextl will commence the bu¬
siness of making drunkards, paupers
and beggars, for tho industrious aud
respectable of community to support.
1 shall deal in familiar spirits, which
will incite tr,en to riot, robbery and
bioGdeUed, and by so doing diminish the
comforts, increase the expense and en
danger the welfare of the community.
I will, for a small sum, undertake,
upon short notice, and with the great¬
est expedition, to prepare victims for
the poor-house, asylum, prisons and the
gallows.
I will furnish nn article suited to the
ta^le, which ny ill increase the number
of lata! accidents, multiplyfe# diatretss
itsg diseapos, and rendering those com
pamiirvly hftriiiless, iucutable.
I will deal in drugs which will de¬
prive some of life, maffy of reason, most
of property, and all of peace; which
will cause father* to bccoino fiends,
wives to become widows, and children
to bo mad#* orphans, and all to be mode
to suffer.
I will cause the rising generation to
grow up in ignorance and prove a nui¬
sance to the nation. I will cause mo¬
thers to forget their children, and price
lees virtue no longer to remember its
value.
I will endeavor to corrupt the minis*
ters of the gospel, defile the purity of
the churches, and cause spiritual, tem¬
poral and eternal death.
If aev should be eo impertinent aa to
ask why I have the audacity to bring
such accumulated misery upon a com¬
paratively happy people, my honest re¬
ply is, ‘Greenback.’

Profanity never did any man auy
good. No man is the richer or happier,
or wiser for it. It recommends no one
to any society. It is disgusting to the
refined, abominable to the good, insult
iug to those with whom we associate,
degrading to the mind, unprofitable,
useless and injurious to society. It is
serving the devil without pay.
Pride has no chamber within which
may be born • the hope of glory.*

your dress is inconveniently long,
and a gentleman steps upon it, don’t be
angry, but mee% beg his pardon, as
you ought. Always cherish a partiality
for the smell of dishwater—it is more
conducive to health and far less expe ri¬
sive than ‘ Boquet of Eden.*
Fashionable Women—F ashion kills
more women than toil and sorrow. _
Obedience to fashion is a greater trans
gression of the laws of woman’s nature,
a mental greater injury to her physical and
of constitution, than the hardships
poverty and neglect. The slave wo¬
man at her task will live and grow old,
and see two or three generations of her
mistresses fade and pass away. The
washerwoman,with scarce a ray of hope
to cheer her in her toils, will live to see
her fashionable sisters all extinct The
kitchen-maid is hearty and strong', when
her lady has to be nursed like a sick
baby.
It is a sad truth that fashion-pamper¬
ed women are almost worthless for all
the geod ends of life; they have but
little force of character; they have still
less power of moral will, and quite as
little physical energy. They live for
no great purpose in life —dthey accom¬
plish formed no in great the hands ends. of They milliners are dolls,
and
servants, to be dressed and fed to order.
They dress nobody, they bless nobody,
and save nobody. They write no books,
woman’s they sot no life. rich If examples they of virtue and
and do all, rear children,
servants nurses save to con¬
ceive and give them birth. And when
reared, what are they ? What do they
ever amount to, but weaker scions of
the old stock ? Who ever heard of a
fashionable woman’s child exhibiting
any virtue and power of mind, for which
it became eminent ? Read the biogra¬
phies of our great and good men and
vromeu. Not one of them had a fash¬
ionable mother. They nearly all sprung
from strong-minded women, who bad
as little to do with fashion as the
clouds.
Some people seem so utterly stupid
that One feels relieved even to here them
say that they have “halfa mind.”
“Mother, ’ said Jemima,“ Sam wants
