Conductor, just shove oat my baggage; I’m off here!”— And sure enough, no hurries home at the rate of two locomotives tied together. “Kate! Katie! I say, little wife, where arc you?” and he looks through the win dow. “Where—wh-e-w! if that isn’t comfortable: here sits Katie with a hand some young man. In a dreso-blue, too; the gypsey always knew she looks prettiest blue —and those ear-rings, too —con- found the woman—l wonder where she gets mom to dash out with, when I’m digging u :uy iu California. Taking her hand now! Sathanos, what will come next? Alay you go to—Kate, I swear, God ldcss you. larling!

I do-.T know how it was, but by this time tiic husband’s heart was softened consiuerably. It might hav been owing to the influence of a certain oilier heart, beating and throbbing agaiust his own; but it’s certain he gave the handsome young fellow, his wife’s—youngest broth er—a cordial welcome, and sat down with liis good numor not at all dituinshed by the sight of nicely browned biscuit and gmokitig tca-cakcs. HOME AfjfAlN! X handsome man with a a slighty sun burned face sat in the afternoon train to ward Sliugsby, leaning his head on his hand. He had been for three years a wanderer, and come home rich. Rich! there’s a great deal in that word—to most. To him, there w'as every thing! The proud man had seen his delicate wife, rear ed in luxury, reduced to privation, and she suffered, and complained not; bnt it maddened him! He left her on a mad crusade for gold—left her with a weary memory dwelling iu his soul of clingging nr ms, and wild, passionate kisses. The deep, bright eyes of their .one child, their almost augcl Florence, looked on him in his dreams sometimes, and he heard the last tear-choked God bless you from liis young wife’s lips. Not for many a weary month had he heard tidings from home, and there were fars iu the deep eyes that shone from un derneath his slouched Spanish hat, as he hurried from the Sliugsby depot. The roses were bright around the porch of that little fairy cottage—the woodbine was green over it—and forth from tufts of mignonette, aud hearts ease, floated a faint, delicate breath of perfume- But where were his wife’s blue eyes—where #coraio Jeffersonians thc sunshine of Florence’s golden hair?— He hurried in; there was no sound of life, aud the pale, thin finger lying on the couch, with the golden-fringged lids droop ing heavily over the blue eyes—can that be Jennie—his Jennie! It must be. Jen nie, sweet wife! and the words burst from from his heart, like a low wail. The j lids unclose—unclose, the ripe lids part —and then she sinks in his arms in a tainting fit, almost like death. A half hour la'er, and he held her in his arms, murmuring low words of love, blent with vows never again to part on earth, “But Florence, our Florence,” he asked at last; “where is she?” ‘Dead, dearest, dead!’ and the young*\vife clung to him convulsively. ‘Dead!’ and the word swelled in his ear like the wail from a bioken beait. Acs, there was life and iight on earth, and the great world recked not that the grass grew green over that child-heart— that the violets grew above those closed eyes, and that only dirges were the hus l uid’s welcome home. Ah me, can gold pay for the wasted wealth of the heart? Can the gleam of gems shine out of memory the tears that sparkle on the eyes wo love, or velvet spreads, enwrought with gold and pearl, warm us like the clasp of clinging arms which holds us to a heart that beats for us onlv? (FOR TIIE JEFFERSONIAN.) BAPTIST PRINCIPLES. ?Jr. Editor. —l know yours is not a re ligious paper, nor would it be prudent to op t its columns to religious controversy. Vet an article appeared in the last No. taken from the Christian Index] (which I presume was not selected by you, though the name of the author does not appear) of rather an extraordinary character, which I desire to notice. Not because there is much point in it. For, really, one can i hardly cdhjecture what the author aimed | at, beyond glorifying liis church. The | writer brings new things to onr notice; some of which, we should never have known, but for the research of this writer. We must be allowed to express our obli gations to him. The writer sets out by informing us, that the Baptist banner has ever been un furled to the breeze, injevery land, in ev ery clime, where an advocate of their prin ciples can be found. On the one side it has inscribed: “One Lord, one Faith, one Baptism.” Now, Mr. Editor, I would like to enquire about this unity of Faith! The Baptists are remarkable for writing, in some things—water arrogance and ex clusiveness, and nothing else, as far as I can see. What is this One Faith? Is it Predestination and election? Armenianism? What is it? We have Calvinists of every shade, Armenians, Mennonites, Campbell ites, Dunkards, Tunkards, Seventh Day, Oxfordites, Turoseeds, no Creeds, and what else? and yet but One Faith. We arc lost sir! For all these claim to be the true Baptist church. Again lie tells us, Roger Williams was ( the founder of the Denomination in the j United States, that civil and religious liberty, are principals for which the Bap tists have ever uncompromisingly contend ed. And further on “that Roger VS illi ams was the first who ‘plead, for the liberty of conscience in the United States;” and that he was the pioneer of religious liberty in the world. Why, really, Mr. Editor 1 I must have been asleep. Is it a dream of mine that Huss, Jerome of Prague, Luther, Zuingli, Melancthon, and the Mar tyrs of England, all were advocates of re ligious liberty? And that the Puritans left their country for the sake of religious liberty? And is it true Mr. Editor, that the Waldenses and Alligences, (those gnod Baptists according to our author,) were enemies of religious liberty? Or did Williams live before their day? The Ana- Baptists of Germany, of course lived be fore Roger; for it is said they were not remarkable for theif advocacy of liberty* either civil or religious. But Roger was not in the church much* having been bap tized by an lin’oaptizcd layman: And then, I think I have heard, that lie did not hold out very well; and of course was not one of the elect: But what is this? “By the Baptists was the Grecian spark of civil liberty kindled, and to them, A merica owes the whole freedom of her constitution. Did I read right, Mr. Edi tor? Yes, that is its Well, this is new again. Why did not the author give us the names of these illustrious men? Does history furnish them? No! What an oversight. And that being the case, the writer is inexcusable in not doing it.—• Did Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and others steal their thunder? Or were these great men Baptists? No! it seems not. For he says: “To the Baptists was Thos. Jefferson indebted for the idea of the mode of our present form of government.” New again. Did Jefferson write the con stitution, Mr. Editor? How do you read? If so, where did he get the “idea” of trial by jury, and o r an appeal? From the Baptists? Our author had better written i & •i-ud told us all about these things. And 1 stiuul'l like for him to tell us about his brethren, John 13’iccOld and his Bap tist brethren of Munster, liguw n p oy ing martyrs for civil and religious libett/.- 1 That they were advocates of liberty, no one will deny who has read history. Lar ger liberty, even to the having as many wives ai they pleased, at least fourteen. That was liberty of conscience Mr. Editor. What led the Papists to intolerance?— Was it not the dogma that there is but one true church, and out of it, there are no gospel ordinances, and by an easy step, no Salvation. And yet this is the precise position of the Baptist church. She is the only church of Christ upon earth, and out of her pale, there is no valid ministry, no gospel ordinances, no baptism, no cu* : charist. And I have just heatd of one of no mean note, saying: “They neyer ! meant to cease to light till the whole ! earth fell into the water. Just like moth* er Rome, aiming at universal empire; and ! if they bad the power, they would like her say “the end sanctifies the means,” and the sword would be called into requisition, i till all should submit. And then Baptists would fight Baptists, till all would join . one party, and then we should have the i millenium. All other churches are regard ed now, not as but religious as GRIFFIN, (GA.) THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 14, 1853. • sociations. Wo, Worth the day! when a people entertaining these views, get the i power. But there is another point which I wish to notice, which is the main point in the article, (if it has any.) The writer advo- I cates a creed, and cells us “they are will | ing, yea anxious, that the world should ; know, understand, and adopt their articles i of faith, (no doubt he speaks the truth when he says “adopt.”) Who is this i Baptist church? Where is it? And , what is its creed? A thousand and one i parties all calling themselves the “Bap -1 tist Church of Christ. Who is to decide , which is the true one? But I presume ; our author means the “Calvinistic Bap tist,” in this country called the Missionary Baptists. But there we are in difficulties ’again. They only publish the creed, (or , a synopsis of it) in their minutes about once in four years. Our author says, from time to time, the larger body of the peo ple never see it. And they so seldom preach it, that many of their own people do not know that they have a published creed; and think that the Bible is their creed; and deny any other. They handle the high mysteries of election with great caution; and the most of their preachers are so cautious, that they never handle it at all. Some of them thought they had better have no creed, as they had joined it Without subscribing one; but they could not be tolerated; the knife of excision was applied, and they were cut off, (poor Jar rell) and that too without being allowed a fair and candid hearing. “Religions liberty!” Any body can join this immac ulate church. Unitarians, Universalists, •Arians, Armenians. No questions asked about the “creed,” only “profess a hope and take water.” And yet but onc Faith! “0! consistency, thou art indeed a jewel.” Is it not passing strange, that though they have their creed, they publish it, and preach it so rarely. Thousands of their people do not know what it is; and when charged with it, deny it. And if our au thor’s views were carried out honestly, and no one allowed to join the church, or re main in it, without subscribing the creed; a large portion of the membership would be cut off, and accessions would be few and far between. Publish your creed—keep it before the people—preach it, don’t be afraid to sub scribe it; and then the world will be de ceived no longer; and you would stand forth as honest men. Most heartily do I wish the writer success m his crusades a gainst heretics iu the church, till the whole troupe of Armenians, and all opponents of the creed, are driven out, and a pure old fashioned Calvinistic Baptist church stand out in bold relief before us, with their banner always floating on the breeze, with this inscription: “One of a family, and two of a city.” ENQUIRER. From The Christian rdegrap'*. Clngregational Methodism and the Rev. S. M. Smith. Mr. Editor: Inconsequence of a com munication from the prolific pen of the above named Rev. gentleman “as found iu the S. C. Advocate,” of the 27th May last, which is calculated to create false impressions in the mind of a candid pub lic, on the subject of Congregational Me thodism. 1 respecfully ask space in your columns to correct manifest error. How ever painful the task which I now assay to perform, owing to the relation 1 sus tain to the C , 1 feel that I would be recreant to every principle of propriety, iruth, and justice, to suffer misrepresenta tion to go uncorrected—silence would be criminal —especially as the impression created is foreign either to the spirit or letter, of the acts and doings of the con ference which Constitutes the basis of the gentleman’s superstructure; and least there should be any misapprehenson, you will please irisert Bro. S’s communication at length which I herewith furnish: Mr. Editor: It is known that a few lo cal preachers and members in Monroe and Butts counties, Ga , during last year left the M. E. church, South, organized under trie namb of the Congregational Methodist; and that they are endeavor ing to carry on their operations in this country. 1 ani sometimes asked by those at a distance what they are doing and how they progress. Please allow me a little space in the “Advocate,in Which to answer these inquires. And this I will do by giving facts as they occurred at the District Conference; held at Rock Spring dhufeh, in the bounds of this Cir cuit, commencing On last Friday tho 13th of Ala}*. At this meeting house they re ported a membership of 59; the AI. E. Church has a membership of 25 who wor ship in the same house. There had been much talk and pre paration for the meeting for weeks past. It was staled that perhaps one thousand persons would attend the Conference.— The day was pleasant and (here were a boat 80 persons present; 15 hailing from the AI. E. Church, some Baptists, some who made no profession: and perhaps 50 Congregational Methodist, including preachers, delegates, and visitors, from eight other churches, as represented ir. thal body. The sermon was preached by T. M. Huddleton; after which the Conference met, the questions in the re guigy ordef 9f business were asked. As there was no business presented for the action ot the Conference, there Was a proposition to adjourn. Some cailcd for | new business. It was said that there was some, but that it could be attended to ot) the next day. The call was how ever, repeated, and Mr. Huddleton re marked that he with others had been to Alabama; and that a large portion of that State, and a large poiiiou of Georgia joining as it were extensive fields white to a vast harvest; that the churches there were in great distress, that they cried for relief; and that they cried to a body for help; and that they must have help. It was remarked by Mr. Phinazee, that he had been an eye witness, to the truth of what was stated; that the suggestion, however was enough for that occasion; that this was an important question, and it should be properly considered am! pro vided for on to-rnorow. The confernce then adjournedjto meet at 8 o’clock next morning. Allow me to say just here, that I think the P. Elders and preachers in Alabama and that portion of Georgia, refered to in the remarks above reported ought not to oppress the churches, distress the church es, neglect the churches, so as to com pel them to cry to tho Congregational Methadists for deliverence! At all events, I suppose that “deliverance soon will come” to the poor churches now said to he groaning under the yoke of bondage. Alt. Phinazee, the moderater, treated me with the courtesy that I desired. As l could attend the confernce only on the first day’ I have given the facts as con nected with that day. Nine churches were represented, reporting membership from If to 59 members each. Perhaps more people attended the meeting on Sat urday and Sunday, than did on Friday. My opinion is that they have got all or nearly all to leave the old church that they w ill ever get in this portion of the country, and while they are not numerous the matter however, produced a very un friendly state of feeling in those church es, where the matter does not exist. I believed when the movement was first made that it would result in mischief to the cause of God; l now feel confident that it has done so. And yet it is to be prosecuted in Alabama, and other portions of Georgia. Some of the preachers of the M. E. church may deserve the ill name which is given them, but I do not know who they are. 1 know that some of the innocent have had to suffer. But we desire to pray for those who mav perse cute us. ‘ S. AI, SMITH. McDonough , Oa. Now wilhotft swelling this article to an unnecessary .length by a detailed account permit me to say that Bro. S. has done the C manifest injustice, in what he is pleased -to call “giving facts as they oceured.” In the first place Bor. S. has through mistake, oi* otherwise stated things that did not occur in conference or elsewhere to the mind of those who com posed the Conference, until they appear ed in the “S. C. Advocate,” over the signature of S. M. Smith. Bro. S. says in his article that “Air Huddleton remarked that he with others had been to Ala., and that a large por tion of that State, and a large portion of Ga. joining it were extensive fields white to the harvest,” &c. Now the remarks of Bro. H. did not incorporate the idea here presented, such was net his langu age in respect to the extent of fields white to the harvest, but the contrary, name ed the section visited, viz: Eastern Ala., and N. W. Georgia by himself and others and consequently the boundry line was clear and satisfactory to every one, save Bro. S., whose fruitful speculative facul ty swelled (a well defined remark having respect to two sections visited) into “Large potions of two States,” a pretty considerable tentorial acquisition. Fur ther Bro. S, states “That the ehur ehes there, were in great distress, that they cried for relief.” He goes on fur ther to state on this point: “Allow me to say just here that I think that the P. El ders and preachers in Ala., and Georgia, that portion refered to in the remarks a bove reported ought not to oppress , dis tress, and neqlect the churches,” &c. It is a sad truth that can be established without doubt, so far as human testimon ey can confirm; that Bro ; H. used no such language—gave no such intimation —made no such charges—breathed no such sentiments—said nothing about the M. E. church pro nor con; directly or indirectly. Bro. S. is equally unfortun ate in his attempt to give the statistical report in respect to extreams, which he sets dawn at “from 11 to 59.*’ The ex tremes as reported—announced in Bro. S’s hearing and so recorded, stands from 11 to 72. in this instance? the magnifier happened to be inverted, and as is to the long preparations, and large numbers ex pected we know not S’s source of in forma tion but we heard no such rumor, nor had no such expectations, and in tha Georgis Conference of the M; E. chUrch had con vended at the same place and time, no such thought would have entered the brain of a respirable mao. But the mini fest design of this distorted report—this miserable caricature of the truth, was simply to hush the inquiris coning from various quarters-* ‘how do they progress’ by falsely leaving impresions that it is all a failure; but though Bro; S. thought that we had got nearly all we would ev er get, for his nBXt I can inform him that still they fkmie, since the deliv erance of his prophetic burthen. The Rev. Gentleman says: “He thought then and riow knows that the tendency of G. Methodism would produce much mis chief.” Pray tell me Bro. S. if the man lives upon the face of the Earth that has contibuted more to produce that mischief than yourself. I forbear further remarks. A statement of correctness on the impor tant points at issue are all that can he said without, perhaps making bad worse We thus present the facts which is due ourselves—truth—and our humble, but honorable Denomination.

Union. Factory Destrovf,d by Fire I —The Georgia Banner , of the Ist inst;, says, we have just learned that Bowen’s Factory, Carroll co , was destroyed by fire on Wednesday night last. The machinery, goods, cotton, out houses, store houses, aad every thing connected with the fac tory were totally destroyed. The loss is about thirty-five thousand dollars, and falls on the proprietors, the Messers John & Kit Bowen. It was evidently, from all the circumstances, the work of an in cendiary. From tho Journal & .Vlessenger. Messrs. Editors:—ln your paper of last week, I observe an article under the sig nature of “Bibb,” which demands some ! notice from me, iu order that there may | be no misapprehension as to my political ; position; for I deem it incumbent on eve ry man, in such country as ours, to see to it, and he is rightly understood in refer ence to the relation in which he stands to the party divisions which exist among his fell )\v-eitizens. “Bibb” assumes that tho Union party of Georgia has been re-organized, and takes it as a matter of course that I “will resume my proper position in it,” and does me the honor of suggesting me as the can didate for Congress of that party in this District. Here, at the very outset, lam obliged to say that “Bibb,” and myself do not agree as to the fact which he assumes to exist. It is not my opinion that the Union party of Georgia has been revived or reorganised. It is well known that whilst certain political events were in pro gress last year, I regarded them as the death-knell of the Union party. It is also known that I greatly deprecated those e vents, and struggled hard against them. They, nevertheless, happened, and their effect in totally breaking up and dissolving the Union party, was one of those palpa ble things about which it was impossible for a doubt to be entertained by any body. Nor do I think that any considerable num ber of persons can be found agreeing with “Bibb” iu the opinion that the Union par ty of Georgia, which was thus broken up last year, has been revived and ro-or ganized, and is again in the field to do battle as of yore. At all events, such is not my opinion. The party now in the field, and to which “Bibb” evidently ad heres, and with which he would have me ,to act, does not even announce itself to the world as the Union party. The omis sion to do so in the proceedings of the late Gubernatorial Convention at Alillcdge ville, is certainly a very significant cir cumstance. It plainly argues that the o piuion of that convention in regard to the fact of the re-organization of the Union party, is quite different from the opinion entertaiued by “Bibb.” Bat it is not the name, or the want of a name, of the party to which “Bibb” al ludes, that creates the insuperable obsta cle to my acting with it. lam a friend and supporter of the present Democratic Administration of tho General Govern ment. I contributed by my vote to the bringing of that Administration into pow er. I have confidence in the great nation al party Uy which that Administration was brought into power. Oi’ course, I connot consistently with niy views aud convictions ou national polities, take posi tion in the ranks of a party in Georgia, which is inevitably destined, as I think, to be an Opposition party —a party antago nistic to Gen. Pierce’s Administration, and to the National Democracy. The Northern Democratic party has; in my dpiuion; from the days of Jefferson down to the present hour, been characterized in the main, by friendliness and justice to the South. They have stood by us in a thousand trials; they have fought, and either conquered or fallen for us in a thou sand hard political battles. Yes! and they were, as a body, with us in the last and greatest battle of all, the battle upon the Compromise question growing out of the acquisition of New Mexico and Cali fornia. I cannot bring myself to turn my back on such a Northern party, and on an administration which I concurred with it in electing, until it a squ int and a conduct signally discordant with the general tone of its past history and character. Aly devotion td the South led tne in 1844, whA representing the State in Congress, to cast off all political con nection with Northern Whigs, because I saw and knew for myself; that as a mass, they were intensely leavened, thorougly penetrated with hostility to the South.— From that period I have been led by the same devotiou to the South, to advocate the policy of acting with and sustaining the Northern Democratic party, because I saw and knew for myself, that that party was as a body, thoroughly imbued with just feelings and a friendly bias towards the South, and acted habitually under the influence of such feelings. Under those circumstances, and citter taiuing these convictions* it is, of course, impossible for me to identify myself with any party in Georgia, under whose ban ner I would inevitably, as I believe, soon find myself in a position of alliance with the National Whig Party, aud of hostility to that National Democratic party, to Which I have long been attached, which I have just helped to carry into power, and in which I still have confidence, although some things have transpired iu appoint ments to office by the President, which I could have wished had been otherwise. Nevertheless, being an optimist in poli ties, (if I may borrow a phrase from that great statesman, Alt*; Buchanan,) I shall continue to support Gen. I’iercc’s admin istration, and to act with the pa>*ty by which it is supported, until something shall occur (which heaven forbid) making such a course no longer the best which a Southern man can pursue.

It is a memorable day too to our Government officials here: it is to them what the Ist. day of May is to the New Yorker—everybody “moves.” There will be no less than threo hundred dis charged clerks on Pensnsylvania avenue to day—a good many of whom are dem ocrats—-the new classification making it necessary to cut down the forces in the Pension Gffice, Land Office, Census Bu reau, and Tressury Department.

Its articles displuy ability and thought, and are writ ten in a vigorous, style. It is edited by O. P. Johnson, Esq. formerly Attorney General of Pennsylvania. An effort has been made too, to estab lish a Democratic penny paper in Alex andria, but it is not likely to succeed.— The public printing has a fragrance that can be snuffed afar off. Ihe President is about moving his family a mile of two out of town. The entire lower part of the White House, is thrown open to the painter and plasterer. The wainscoting, paper* and paintmgs, rich carpets, and furniture have all disap peared, and the robed chandeliers are the lonely representatives of departed glory. Tne work on the Capitol, Patent Of fice, Washington Monument, and Public Grounds, is going on vigorously. Our Public Grounds—when the laying out and ornamenting shall have been com pleted, and a few years given to the growth of thd shade trees—will be well worthy of so much space in the National Metropolis. They will be shaded with every variety of forest and shade trees, and ornamented with shrubbery, and fountains, with delightful little wind ing walks and cool arbors. But the great feature of all will be the “drive” of nine miles, which will give the dusty city an opportuniry to take an hour’sride, breathe the fresh air, enjoy the fragrance of the green and the music of the birds, without going out of the city limits.

Billy Bowlegs and Sam Jcne3, From a letter in the New York Her ald dated Fort Myets, Florida, June I4th we make the following extract: A word or two concerning the abori gines, who, by the way; are at present remarkably friendly and peaceably dis posed, although rather reserved in their intercourse with us. Many warriors, men women and chil dren of all parties, come in and trade, viewing every thing with an airof haugh ty pride and self satisfaction, the natural result of late negotiations. King Bowlegs still remains in obscuri ty, though constantly promising* (through a second person,) to sdon emerge there from and come in, but how far his asser tions tnay be relied on has been satisfac torily tested heretofore. The last mes sage received from him, stated his in tention to visit the Post immediately af ter the Completion of the ‘*greeu corn dance.” This is an annual Indian festi val in which the whole nation partici pates, occupying the space of three or four clays, commencing near 15th of the present month.

French, (the Post Commandant) wm <* few tlajrs ‘fjnco with a message from the celebrated Mickasukio chief, Arpeika, belter known as Sam Jones. Tne massage, in substance, was an invitation extended to the Major to hold a “talk” at some stated time and place, but not within ten miles of the Post. The Major replied through the messengers, (two athletic warriors) that “he had nothing to tuik about nor was he empowered to do so, but would be happy to see the old warrior at any time and place to assure him of the kind in tentions of his ‘great father’ toward him, as well as to satisfy a personal desire, long entertained, of beholding a person age occupying so prominent a position in the history of his race.” This acrompa* nied by a quantity of £ wy-o-mee;’ or whiskey, was despatched to the famous . recipient and no doubt was well received, particularly the above named accompa nying present.— Sav. Morning News, Thoughts Born of a Caress. “0, what a nice place to cry!” said a laughing little girl, as she nestled her head lovingly on her mother’t breast. The words were spokcu playfully, and the little fairy was all unconscious how much meaning lay hid in them; but they brought the tears to my eyes, for I looked forward to the time when care and trial should throw their shadows over that laughing face—when adversity should o vet power—when summer friends should fall off like autuin leaves before the rough blast of misfortune—when the faithful Wireast she leaned upon should be no lon ger warm with love and life—when, in ail the wide earth, there should be for that little one “no nice place to cry.” God shield the motherless! A father may be left—kind, affectionate, conside rate, perhaps—but a man’s affections form but a small fraction of existence. His thoughts arc far away, even while his child clambers on his knee. The distant ship with its rich freight, the state of the money-market, the fluctuations of trade, the office, the shop, the bench; and he an swered at random the little lisping irnmor. tal, and gives the child a toy and passes on. The little sensitive heart has borne its childish griefs through the day unshared. She don’t understand the reason for any thing, atid nobody stops to tell her. Nurse “don’t know,” the cook is “busy,” and so she wanders restlessly about, through poor mamma’s empty room. Something want ing; Ah, there is no “nice place to cry.” Childhood passes; blooming maidenhood comes on; lovers woo; the mother’s quick instinct, timely word of caution, and om nipresent watchfulness, are not there. She gives her heart with all its yearning sym pathies, into unworthy keeping. A fleet ing honey-moon, then the dawning of a long day of misery; wearisome days of sickness; the feeble moan of the first born; no mother’s arm in which to place, with girlish pride, the little wailing stranger; lover and friend afar; no “nice place to cry! ” Thank God! —not unheard l>y Him, who “wipeth all tears away,” goetli up that troubled hcart-plaiut from the des pairing lips of the motherless!— Arthur's Home Gazette. Saving Fodder. Before the issue of our next, this por tion of the harvest may have arrived with some. It is a question of importance, and one often settled jo the injury of the corn, to know when the fodder is ripe; or rather when the corn will bear the \ stripping of the blades. This should ne\- er be done until the milk has disappear ed, and the shrinking of the grain has well commenced. The exposeur of the stalk and the ear is verj sudden, and ve ry great, and if the grain is not well pre pared by its maturity, for the change it must suffer loss, and one which is often greater than the value of the whole fodder crop. The blades when pulled may be spread to dry in the middle of the rows, or be hung in small bunches upon the stalk. When dry these are to be made into lar ger bundles and stacked immediately. — This is done late in the evening or soon in the morning, before the dew has dried off. In an emergency, fodder may be stacked when partially cured, and as soon ae it becomes hot in the stack, pull ed down again, slightly aired, and then restacked. This is greatly preferable to having it wet by rain, as it is much more acceptable as an article of food. When well cured, the double or treble stack is better than the single, and so much less surface is exposed to the weather. It would be better, and we suppose gene rally good economy; to provide houses for all such crops. But necessity has not yet forced upon us the importance of much care, iu this department.

Marriage axd Debts. —Formerly a man who married a wife became respon sible for all her debts and often found his “responsibilities” (not always little ones) considerably extended by wedlock, even dnring the honeymoon. In 184S our le gislature passed an act exempting the property of a wife from Execution to satis fy her husband’s ante nuptial debts, tho’ all the husband’s property was still hol den for tliß debts contracted by the wife, during her previous maiden or widow hood. Our present legislature has re dressed the inequality by enacting that the husband shall no longer be responsi ble for his wife’s ante-nuptial debts.— Thus one obstacle to matrimony on the part of prudent bachelors is removed; ami if the next legislature will enact that matrimony shall henceforth be held a full liquidation of all the outstanding debts of both husband and wife, we shall doubtless have an increase of tnarriagar to the signal advantage of popular Clergy men and other practitioners the oV R , tie art of tying silken nonses, per haps to the purification of putP .c ,£ o r a i 3 and the increase of human happiness.- I hen add a liberal divo, Ce Jaw allowing people to unmarry at pleasure, without reviving the debts that had been nulified by marriage, and we shall donbt less have a brjs|{ business done in marry ing and tjnmarrying for the next few years, Y.
