The Snnwcnt down on Salem’s towers, The glory faded from the sky, And over holy Palestine. The sudden night fell heavily. A lonely ship was on the deep: Within were weary, anxious men, Who doubted, though they uttered not, If they should see the land again. They toiled in vowing almost spent. Wildly the wind against them blew, And wilder yet as o’er the sea A human form anear them drew, A creepisug horror from their blood, Into each other’s e> es they gazed, All mute and trembling, troubled soar— Why were these voyagers amazed? Only a few short honrs before They saw the miracle of bread. Where one whosedaily life they shared,* The hungry multitude Sad fed. Surely, they might have thought, at once, Who sought his own across the deep, From the lone mountain's top came down. Where he had turned to pray and weep. What other foot could walk the flood? What other form be there upborne/ They should have hailed the blessed sight, Shame! to be then afraid—forlorn. Lightly he trod the leaping waves; • Seen in the pale moon’s tender sheen, Cut only when they heard his voice Knew they the God-like Kazarin". “Bj not afiaid. ’tis I!” he said, And answered headlong Peter, ‘Corse!’ And taught a lesson to his Church There, ’mid the wiud* and on the foam. Oh ! ••Gem ot Beauty.” Lord of Life, Gone up from sacred Olive, Beslow upon thy chosen ones Such grace that they tray not forget And whrn about our trembling sohls. The tierce winds bowl and billows rave Oh! let us in our anguish see And hear thee, Jesus, on the wavo. [From the Dallas Gazette] HOME. When memory strays among the scones That wo have loved of yore, The weary-wandorcr brigbt’y dreams Or happy home once more. Though pleasuro with her syren voice Doth lure him far away, Though f >me should offer him the choice Os greatness if he stay— In vain is each allurement spread, To tempt him to forget— In vain bright visions round his head Would bani-h a’l regret. Tho music of a mother’s t nes Is ring ng in h’s ear. The playmates of his early home With jocund laughter cheer. IVhor’er he roams by fortune led, Though joy or grief be nigh; Those cherished soenes their radiance shed, Like sunlight from the sky How Peebles asked the Old >!un. BY JOHN QUILL. Peebles had just asked Mr. Merriwcathtr’fi daughter if she would give him a lift out of bacbofortlo and the had said ‘Yea It there"”’ • ne absolutely necessary to get tho old mans permission, so, as Peebles ' raid cat arrangements might be made sot bop ng tbe fconjugal twig. Peebles said bed rather pop tho interro gatory to all of old Merriweather’s daugh ters, and his sisters, and his female cousin, and bis a int Hannah in the country, and the whole of hiq female r -lotions, than ask old Merriweather. But it had to be done, and so be sat down and studied out n speech whi h he was going to disgorge to [old Merriweather the very first chance he got to shy it at him. So Peebles dropped in on him one Sunday evening, when all the family had meander, and around to class mecting. and found him doing a sum in beer measure, trying to calculate the extra number of quarts his interior could hold without blowiug the head off of him. ‘How arc you, Peeb?’ said old Merris weather, as Peebles walked in as a chunk of chalk, end tremblng as it he had swal lowed a condensed earthquake. Peebles was afraid to answer, because lie wasn’t sure about that speech. He knew ha had to keep his grip on it while he bad U the. or it would slip away from him quicker than an oiled eel through an auger hole. So be bltrtered right oat. Jfr. Merriwei ther, sir: Perhaps it may be unknown to you, sir, that daring an inded period of some firo years, I have bell busiiy engaged in tho prosecution of a ußnraercial enterprise—’ pi that so, and kcepin’ it a secret all the tiae, while I thought you was tendin’ store, Well, by George, you'ro one of ’em, now ail 1 yon?’ Peebles had to begin all over again to ge|the run o f it. ifr. Merriweather, sir; Perhaps it mry noibe unknown to you that during an ex« teilcd period of some five years, I have be n engaged in the prosecution of a com» m< cial enterprise, with a determination to pn 'lire a sufficient maintenance—’ 1 Sit down. Peeb, and help yourself to be< •. Don’t stand there holding your hat lik a blind beggar with the paralysis. — Wilt’s (he matter with you 1 anyway? I ne' ?r see you behave yourself so in all my boi l days.’ flceblea was knocked out of time again, ant had to wander back and take a fresh stl t. dr. Merriweather, sir: It may not be un kipwn to you that during a i extended pe riod of some five years, I have 'been cn ga ed in the prosecution of a commercial on srprise, with tho determination to pro. cull a sufficient maintenance ’ 1 V which ance /’ asked old Merriwsath cri but Peebles held on to the last word lity? it was his only chai cand went on. (In the hope that some day I might eu tel wedlock, and bestow my earthly posses sions upon one whom I could call my own. I iinva been a lonely man, sir, and have felt tht* it is not good for man to he alone, Ihvpfore ’ • Neither is it, Peebles, and I’m all fired glad yon dropped in. How’s the old man?’ ‘Mr. Merriweather, sir,’ said Peebles in confusion, raising his voice to a yell, -it may not be unknown to you that jilt ing an extended period of lonely man. I har„- been engaged to enter wedlock, and bestow'*’” ™!f “nmmerciar enterprise upon one whom I could procure to be a deter mination to he good for a sufficient posses sions—no, I mean—that is—thht—Mr. Mer' riweather, sir: It may not be unknown—> •And then again it may. Look here, Peebles, you'd better lay down’ and fake something warm, you ain't well.’ Peebles, sweating like a four year old colt, went in again. ‘Mr Merriweather, sir; It may not be lonely tor you to prosecute mo whom you can call a frienff for commercial malntes nance, but—but—oh. dang it—Mr. Merri weather; sir—it ’ ‘Oh, Peebles, you talk as wild as a jack ass. I never see a more first-class idiot in the whole course of my life. What’s the matter with you, anyhow ?’ •Mr. Merriweather, sir,’ said Peebles, iu an agony of bewilderment, ‘it may not be unknown thi t you prosecuted a lonely man who is not good for a commerciel period of wedlock felt for some five years—but—— ’ ‘See here. Mr. Peebles, you’re drunk, and if you ca.i’t behave belter than that, you’d better leave: If you don’t I’ll chuck you out, or I’m a Dutchman.’ ■Mi. Merriweather, sir,’ said Peebles, fra.tic with despair, ‘it may not be un known to y"u that my earthly possessions arc engaged to cuter wedlock five years with a sufficiently lonely man who is not good for a commercial maintenance ’ ‘!he bloody deuce he isn’t. Now you just git up ami git. old boss, or I’ll knock what little brains out of you you’ve got left.’ With that old Merriweather took Peebles by the shirt collar and thp part of bis pants that, wears out first if he sits down much and shot him into the street, as if ha had just run against a locomotive going at for ty miles an hour. Before old Merriweather had a chance to shut the front door Pecbleß collected his legs and one thing and anoth er that were tying around on the pavement and arranged himself in a vertical po itton and yelled out: ‘Mr. Merriweather, sir, it may not be un known to you ’which made the old man go wretched mad that he went out and set a bull-tcirier on Peebles before he UAd a chance to lilt a brogan, and there was a scientific dog fight, with odds in favor ot the dog, until they got to the fence, and, even then Peebles would have carried bull terrier borne, gripped like a clamp on to bis leg, if it hadn’t bcerr that the meat was ( too tender, and the dog. feeling certain that something or other must eventually give way, held on until he got his chop off iof Peebles’ calf, and Peebles went home ! half a pound lighyer, while Merriweather asserts to thia’day that they bad to draw [all the dog’s teeth to get the fiesh out of his mouth, -for he had an holt for ! such a small animil.’ I Os course Merriweather’s dvnghter heard abtut it, and she was so mad -hat she nev !er gave the old man any peace until be I went around the next day to see Peebles | about it. Peebles looked pale as a ghost from loss of blood and beef, and be had a whole piste of muslin wrapped around his off leg. Merriweather said; ‘Peeb, I'm sorry about that muss last night, but if you didn’t behave like a rav ing maniac. I'm a loafer. / never see such a deliberate ass since I was born. What's the meaning of It. any way V •t wm only trytn* *e ask yaw to let me marry your daughter,’ groaned Peebles. ‘Great—what?—you didn't mean to say —well, I hope / may be shot. Well, if yon ain’t a regular old wooden-hended idiot— T thought your mind was wandering. Why didn’t you say it right.out? Why, of course, you can have her, I’m glad to get rid of her. Take her, my boy; go it, go it, and I'll throw a lot of first-class blessings into the bargain.’ And Peebles looked ruefully at his de fective leg and wished ho h&ila’t been such a fool, but be went out aid married the girl and lived happily with her for about two months, and at the end of that lime he told a confidential friend that be would willingly take more trouble and undergo a million more dog-bitea to get rid of her. A Georgia Ineident. The Savannah correspondent of the Louisville Courier contains the following spicy anecdote- The other day the lien A. 11. Stephens and Robert Toombs applied to be admitted to practice iu Judgo Erskine’s court, and were refused. After the adjournment of the court, Mr. Toombs requested of Judge Dougherty to accompany him to Mr. Era" kiue’s room and hear a conversation which ho desired to have with him. Wbsn he arrived where Erskine was, Mr. Toombs said to him. “Sir, twenty years ago when you were drinking buttermilk out of a swill tub iu the bogs of Ireland, I was a practi tioner before the court you now disgrace.— Fifteen years ago, when I was a .Senator in Cos i gress, yon were selling larger beer from tr.!.!.!-»t.» PimnGr of a Charleston grogge ry, and at no period in ten years has nay gentleman seen the time when he could af ford to notice you on the streets; and yet, sir, you who are perjured in accepting the office you now hold, presume to refuse gen tlemen the right to practice before you.”— Here Erskine rose and told Mr. Toombs be could not stand euifli language, as he re garded it as insulting. Mr. Toombs told him to be seated; that the only mortifying part of the who! tier was that he bad felt i inisp.lf oblig and to use su< h language to one of -o abject and cowardly a nature as to render him incapable of reseating it. “The President of the Confederate State*.” By tbe following, which »t take from the Richmond Examiner it would seem thrt there are some people at tbe South who still regard Mr. D»vis as ‘ ‘President of the Confederate Stste An interesting incident. Quite nnd interest*. Ing incident took place at the Catholic Orphans Fair room on Main street. Thursday night last Mr Jefferson Davis, accompanied by Judge Ould visited the fair on that and whilst he was enjoying the delioaoies at tho supper table the ladies and gentlemen present agreed to raffle off a most beautif and cigar stand with a musical box attached, which had boeu sent, with many other hsQdßome articles, from ltrus els, Belgium, the winter to prcßtnt it to him. The raffle ocourrcd, and tbe prise was won by a gentleman from Baltimore, Ms M , who requested that Mi sM.C .il —, the in - teresting young lady who was instrumental in getting up the raffle, should present it in tho name of those who had contributed- Miss II , approaching the e.v President Siid ; ‘Mr Davis-.ln tbo name and at the request of tbe gentleman who won the pr r.e, and of those ladies and gentlemen who contributed I present you this token of our respect for you, the Presi dent of the Confederate States. We only wish we had something more worthy of your accept ance, but, after looking around the table find nothing more suitab'e, and. though small the gift, we hope you will aceept it. We wish from our hearts every blesssing tor yourself and family. 1 ' In reply Mr. Davis said. “I thank you and the ladies and gentlemen for your kindness,, and wUI plaoe this with the gold headed cane presented to me by Catholic ladies of Norfolk, who held a fair for a charita ble purpose les* sprio?

When Indiana was little more than a wilderness, when gospel fire was poured out in great abundance and rhetorical figures commanded a high premium aincmg youthful preachers, Mr. Smythe was seloc* ted to preach a Sunday sermon at a campmeeting. The audience was large, aud the occasion demanded an extraordinary effort, Smythe was just entering upon his theolo* gilcal career, and the first steps were ot the greatest importance.— At an early hour Smythe took the stand, and after the ustral prclimi* naries, oponed as lollo’ws : sisters, ladies and gentlemen if I had the world for a pulpit, the Btars lor an audience, my head towering far Above the loftiest clouds ’my arms swinging throughout immensity, and my tongue sending lorth the clarion notes of a Gabriel, I’d set one foot on Greenland’s icy mountains, and the other on Lidia's coral strand, and—and-I’d—.l’d—l’d howl like a wolf.” - - A True and Gallant Women. A woman ir. Tenneatee informed her husband, a few days before the election there, that if he voted the Mongrel ticket she would leave him. He did so, and true to her word, on the evening of election day she moved to hor father’s house, where her husband went after her. Nothing daunted she ordered him peremptortflly to leave her presence as she would not live with him an other day.

The clever 1 an** thoress of Jane Eyre’ nearly suc ceeded in lae forlorn attempt for a few yeare, and plain girls, with volumes of intellect speaking through tGeir deep eyes and from their mas.-nve foreheads, seemed for a while, on paper at least, to bo carrying everything before them The only difficulty was to get the male sex to follow that in practice what the so completely admired in Miss Bronte’s three volume novels. Unhappily, tbe male sox being verj imperfect and frail, could not be brought to do it.— They recognized the beauty ol the conception about plain girls, they were very glad to see them married off in sco. cs to heroic village doc tors 1 and they quite readily admits ted that c icasional young noblemen might be infiction as as becoming violently attached to young creatures with inky fingers and remarkable minds.
