THE LIGHT AT HUM A.
Tbe light at home! how bright rt beams
W lien evening shades around os fall;
Atid from the lattice far it gleams,
To love, and rest, and comlort all ;
When wearied with the toils ot day,
And strife for glory, gold or fame,
How sweet to seek this quiet way,
Where loving lips will lisp our name
Around the light at home !
When through the dark and stormy night,
The wayward wanderer homeward ilies,
llow cheering U that twinkling light,
Which through the forest gloom he spies !
It is the light of home. He feeli
That loving hearts will greet him there ;
And safely through his bosom steals
Tlie joy and love that banishes are
Around the light at home!
The light at home ! how still and sweet
It peeps from yonder cottage door —
The weary laborer to greet—
When the rough toils of the day are o’er!
Sad is the soul that does not know
The blessings that the beams impart,
The cheerful hopes and joys that flow,
And lighten up the heaviest heart
Around the light at home !
A Country Home.
Oh, give me a home in the country wide,
Aud a seat by the farmer’s wood fireside,
When the tire burns bright,
Oil a frosty night,
Where the jest, the song and the laugh are free,
Oh, the farmer’s home is the home for me.
Oh, give me a home in the country wide,
When the earth comes out as a blushing bride,
When her buds and flowers,
In the bright spring hours,
Her bridal song ringing from fresii leaved trees
And melody floats on the jierfumcd breeze.
In summer a seat in a shady nook,
And close by the side of a purling brook,
Where the violet grows,
Or the pale swamp rose,
Fainting, sick, ’ncath the sun’s scorching beam,
Dips her pale petals in the cooling stream.
Oli give me a home in the country wide,
In the golden days of a farmer’s pride,
When his barns are filled,
From the fields he’s tilled,
And he feels that his yearly task is done,
And smiling at winter, he beckons him on.
From Holland “ Bitters Sweet.”
The Cradle Song;.
What is the little one thinking about ?
Very wonderful things no doubt.
Unwritten history !
Unfat homed mystery !
Yet lie laughs and cries, and eats and drinks,
And knuckles and crows, and nods and winks,
As if his head were as full of kinks
And curious riddles as any sphinx !
Warped by colic and wet bv tears.
Punctured by pins and tortured by fears,
Our little nephew will lose two years;
And he’ll never know
Where the summers go—
He need not laugh, for he’ll find it so !
Who can tell what a baby thinks?
Who can follow the gossamer links
By which the manikin feels his way
Out from the shore of the great unknown,
Blind, and wailing, and alone,
Into the Light of day ?
Out from the shore of the unknown sea,
Tossing in pitiful agouy—
Os the unknown sea that reels and rolls
Specked with barks of little souls—
Barks that were launched on the other side,
And slipped from Heaven on an ebbing tide !
What does he think of his mother’s eyes ?
What does he think of his mother’s hair ?
What of the cradle-roof that flies
Forward and backward through the air?
What does he think of his mother's breast—
Bare and beautiful, smooth and white,
Seeking it ever with fresh delight—
Cup of his life and couch of his rest ?
What and oos he think w r hen her quick embrace
Presses his hand and buries his face
Beep where the heart-throbs sink and swell
With a tenderness she can never tell,
Though she murmur the words
Os all the bird* —
Words she has learned to murmur well ?
Now he thinks lie’ll go to sleep !
I ean see the shadow creep
Over his eyes in soft eclipse.
Over his brow and over his lips,
Out to his little finger tips !
Softly sinking, down he goes!
Down he goes ! Down he goes!
See! he is hushed in sweet repose!
For (he New York Mercury.
The Surprise Tarty, aud nhat became
of it.
BY WM. 8. BENTON.
“ I wish somebody would give vs a sur
prise party, for Lizzie Torrence had one last
weak; and you don’t know what a delight
ful time they all had, to be sure ; there was
dancing, and music by a band, and such a
supper—well, I can’t describe it; but Lizzie
said it, was so nice !”
Thus said a bright eyed little girl of a
dozen summers; and added, with a long
drawn sigh, that seemed to come from the
very bottom of her heart: “But nobody ever
visits us that is anybody, now-a-days !”
“ And does my little darling think so much
happiness would result from a sudden gath
ering of a crowd in these old rooms, where
wc have tried so long to be thankful for the
very great degree of quietness and repose
that always reigns here ?” replied her fa
ther ; “ your mother and I can, cither of us,
tell you a different story, where a surprise
party very nearly ruined our prospects; and,
but for a merely accidental circumstance,
well nigh caused bitterness and gloom as the
result of one evening of comparative joy'.”
“Oh, tell me the story, father!” said
Mary.
“ I will do so, my love; and you shall see
whether there is so much pleasure, after all,
to be obtained from such a gathering, not
only of people of whom you know nothing,
or at, least very little, but of those who care
nothing more about us than to see how we
may receive them, nothing more.”
“James Sargent A Cos., was the name of a
thriving firm who did a very prosperous busi
ness many years ago, in Boston.
Strict integrity ami constant industry be
ing the motto upon which their dealings
were all based, they were enabled to amass,
in a few years, a competent fortune; and
many were the yonug merchants, just enter
ing into business, who were proud and pleased
to name among their correspondents men so
upright and just; and not a few, through
their mean?, obtained credit which often
proved of lasting benefit and of vital business
importance.
It was my pleasure and satisfaction to
serve my apprenticeship in the store of these
gentlemen, and to Mr. Sargent himself I
owe much thankfulness for whatever of pros
perity 1 have since enjoyed.
Mr. Sargent was a man of sterling worth
and remarkable business talent—a man of
few words, though when he did speak, it was
as much to the purpose aH if he had uttered
volumes.
Unlike the customs of these degenerate
days, the men ‘of the old school’ held a cer
tain dignity and manly bearing that had a
stirring effect in the eounting-honse j and
woe to tlie apprentice or underling who did
not observe some degree of reverence and re
spect in the presence of his employer.
I well remember euteriug the old Massa
chusetts Rank, in Roston, where Mr. £harp
fir so many years so faithfully discharged
the duties of teller, and always counted over
the money three times when cashing a check
for a customer ; I well reiuemlmr entering
the bank and presenting myself at tbe coun
ter to make a deposit, with covered head—
-4 Take off your hat, sir !’ said Mr. Sharp, and
I was williug enough to acquiesce and cmply
with the request on the instant; and l should
no more think of remaining covered in a
gentleman’s counting-room than in his par
lor. Alas ! those times are of the past, and
lie is styled an old fogy who too strenuously
insists on sneh courtesies now.
On becoming of age, through the kindness
of Mr. Sargent, I obtaiued a stock of goods
on a short credit, and easy terms of pay
ment, and commenced business on my owu
account.
Trade was at that time good, and money
plentiful, and easy to be had, and on very
favorable terms ; and for the first five years,
everything went on smoothly and satisfac
torily—so much so, indeed, that the evil day
seemed too far ahead as to be ever in sight.
Credit had extended, and a greater amount
of business had been transacted, not only in
the city, but throughout the country, than
was judged to be safe or advantageous; and
finally a crash came—and au awful crash it
was, I assure you.
Many of the strongest business houses were
obliged to succumb; confidence was lost;
nnney became scarce, and only loaned on
first class paper, and at a high rate of inte
rest. Such a state of things can never ex
ist long in a mercantile community without
being felt in a greater or less degree by ev
ery class, whether the class be mechanic,
mercantile, or professional; and the suffering
that ensued was awful if> the extreme. The
merchant, who thought himself almost rich
enough even to have dreams of retiring upon
his wealth, became suddenly reduced to pov
erty ; the mechanic found no labor for his
hands to perform, and perfect stagnation
ruled the hour.
I had just taken in a partner when the
crash came ; and although l had been warned
to examine my accounts closely, I should not
otherwise have made so thorough an investi
gation into the state of my affairs, had it not
been necessary that this partner should know
my stauding in the community, and my
means and capacity, before making au cn-
wagement.
I felt satisfied from the examination just
mentioned, that we could stand any ordinary
pressure ; but judged it prudent and advisa
ble to retrench in our expenses, and curtail
everything possible, without incurring an
accusation of meanness and parsimony. And
your mother will tell you how carefully we ’
studied and contrived in our household man
agements and family arrangements, to make
both ends meet, and a little more. We dis
pensed with one of our servants, provided
plainer dishes for satisfying our appetites,
examined our wardrobes, and where garments
could be made respectable by a little mend
ing and repairing, such amendments were
made, without much sacrifice to our comfort,
or any to our gentility ; arid, in fact, so
changed the order of things at home, as to
conform as far as need be with the change
in the times, and the direful necessities of
the dangerous and trying hour.
As in prosperous times, I had always been j
in the habit of consulting freely with my old j
friend and former employer, Mr. Sargent ; j
so now, as changes appeared in the financial 1
horizon, I often sought his private room, and
held long and serious consultations as to inode
of action, and seldom attempted any exten
sive operation without first obtaining his
counsel and advice; for in this, I felt my !
strength ; and I used to return to my store j
or my home, invigorated and benefited more i
than I can well express.
The old man had a sou of about my age,
and though like his father in many respects,
was somewhat wild, and fond of playing
pranks and practical jokes, without consid
ering as much as he should have done, what
results might be produced from his folly.
YYe had one day made, as we believed,
ample provision for meeting some immense
sum 9 that were due on the day ensuing ; and
Mr. Sargent, knowing from long experience
that he could trust to our punctuality and
promtitude, had agreed to loan us ten thou
sand dollars, which we much needed ; and
for which sum we were to receive his check
on the following morning.
Pleased with the prospect of this assis
tance, so cheerfully offered, particularly when
confidence, the grand watch-word in all mer
cantile parlance, had become to be consid
ered at sucli low ebb, I was surprised, on
arriving at our store the next morning, to
find on my private desk, the following note
from the man of few words :
‘lndia street, October 7, 1837.
Sir; I cannot lot you have the amount I offered
you yesterday. Yours, ect. James Sarokst.’
Surprised, astonished, and alarmed beyond
measure, I rose hastily from my chair; and
without oue word to my partner (although
I saw he noticed my troubled look,) I ran,
or rather flew, with note in hand, to Mr.
Sargent’s office.
I entered it, and closing the door behind
me, found the old man alone, looking as stern
ly as he used to do, when 1 had sold a lot of
bags of coffee or casks of sugar at too low a
price; but being now neither coffee nor sugar
in the case this time, I could only wait his
motions, though I was not at all prepared
for the blast that followed.
Glancing at the note I still held in my
band, and which agitated and shook in my
trembling fingers, he broke out iu words ‘not
loud, but deep
‘ So, sir, you bad a large party at your
house last night, and from the liucof carria
ges I saw, a3 I accidently passed through
your street, it must have been a jam.’
‘There iroa a large party there,’ I replied.
‘Of course there was, sir, of course there
was —I said so ; and plenty of music, oli V
To this I also assented, uud was about to
add something in addition to my reply, when
he shut me up with :
‘Fine times these, sir, for frivolities of this
sort, when everybody is failing, and going
by the board ! —glad your busineas will ad
mit of it, mine won’t—glad you ere so pros
perous, upon my word, sir—wish you well,
sir—hope your wife is well, sir ; when any
money is wauted in your business, don’t come
to me for it. I withdraw my offer of yester
day—not a word, be silent, sir—l wou’t have
my money go to pay fiddlers and harpists, in
, such sad times as these. “You ought to be
t ashamed of it, sir ! Don’t think I say so, be-
VOLUME XXXVI.—NO. 47.
(cause l might think I ought to have been
!invited, sir—fir from it, sir.’
This was a long speech for him to make,
| and as bo would not be interrupted, I was
to let It tin tire himself out; and while
jhe was wiping the moisture that had collect
ed on his forehead iu his imp itkcce, I found
op]K)rtuuity to reply.
4 There teas a large party at my house last
evening, I do not hesitate to ; llow —and I
assure you 1 regret it at this time; but it was
none of my gathering, as your son William
will inform you. if you will but call him in
and speak with him. 1 believe he will call
! it a SURPRISE PARTY.’
My William, indeed 1 Say not another
word, sir; it must have been one of bis
pranks, then ; the fellow is too full of fun,
old as he is grown. ‘ William !’ called he,
opening the door.
His son entered, and the father resumed :
‘ My son, your folly last night had well
nigh caused this old friend of ours serious
trouble !’
‘I did not,’ said William, ‘imagine that
uiy collecting a party, unknown to Mr. Davis,
at his house, and providing by subscription
for the occasion, so that no expense, except
the usual loss of his usual quiet family circle
newspaper, should accrue to him, would be
the occasion of a single uupleasant feeling or
heart-burning.’
‘lt is sufficient, my son. Enough fas
been said. Forgive an old man, Mr. Davis,
for doubting prudence; but such times as
these, we must be guarded. There is my
cheek, use it, sir, without interest, until I
call it in.’
I thanked him in silence, and pressed his
hand. Twenty years have roiled by, my
daughter, since that eventful day. Hem v
er * called it in but when he died, which
he did not long ago, a clause in his will made
this a deed of gift.

The Slave Exodus
From Missouri is being accelerated, for tbo dan
ger of the annihilation of property title to negroes
every day becomes more imminent, and owners
will not risk their loss by retaining them in a State
which is destined soon to succumb to the sover
eignty of an Abolition majority, the individuals
constituting which hare bccu coining in one by
one until their aggregate strength is irresistible.—
Slaves are continually being shipped lor the South,
generally accompanied by their owners, who are
compelled to choose between exile or ruin, or a
change of occupation consequent upon the sellirg
of their negroes. Ilefeiring to the shipment of a
gang of ninety-live negroes which were observed
passing the office of that paper on their way to
the boat iu which they were to embark,the St. Lou
is Democrat, the great organ of the Missouri Black
Republicans, says exultnigly :
These instances, which have been numerous of
late, and which are becoming more and more so,
are an earnest of the speedy realization of that
prophecy which has been so often repeated in this
journal and by tbe Free Democracy upon the
stump. The day has dawned when Missouri shall
be made to recognise the dignity of white labor.
Soon will Missouri be lost to the South, and Ar
kansas then become a border State, exposed to the
same influences which wrought the fall of Missouri,
and thus unless checked, w ill Abolitionism insidi
ously eat its way into the very heart of the South,
until it, us the peculiar South, crumbles away Stale
by State ; until the race of biack Americans is
doomed to free misery—the liberty of unhappiness
and degradation ; until the broad plantations of the
once beautiful and productive regions in which
they labored for their own good and that of their
masters and the country at large, lie tallow ami
worthless, homestead and negro quarters alike iu
ruins—the whites.inipoverished, the blacks starv
ing, the cotton king dethroned, and that balance,
or au approach to a balance, of trade in favor of
! America, which his fibrous majesty’s power strug

Au Aiitil*ecomptoiiite’a Stand.
Col. Marshall in the able and judicious speech
which we published last Saturday, affirms at Wash
ington the views that we asserted with less ampli
tude last December. They are unquestionably the
deliberate, approved, unalterable views of the
j Southern Opposition. They constitute, so far as
j doctrine is concerned, the best and most and all
! that we can do towards a consolidation of the Oj -
position of the Union. Duty to ourselves and to
j our country compels us, iudeed, to go thus far ;
but further no hope of victory, no dream of pow -
er, can tempt us. The Opposition of the South
are ready to venture a great deal for principle, but
nothing for mere success without it. Nothing.—•
Here we take our stund ; our feet planted firmly on
the constitution, on the accepted compromises of
the Union, on popular sovereignty as defined bv
the legisla.ion of 1650 and reasserted by the Crit
tenden Montgomery bill in 1858. Here we stand
on this impregnable constitutional basis, where
Clay stood and Webster fell, midway between the
rival heresies of the Wilniot Proviso, JNquatter Sov
ereignty, and Lecomptouisui, combatting each, di -
fying ail. Here we plant ourstdves, aud respect
fully but urgently, invite, solicit, exhort, entreat
the conserrative patriots of the North to stand
with us, for the salvatiou of the Union, for the
honor and dignity of the nation, for the broad im
partial welfare of the whole people. More wc as
honest lovers of our country cannot do. is this
not enough ?— Louisville Journal.
The tin not peculiar.
Frinces and nobles are not the only artists in
creatiou. There are thousands, citizens of thu
world iu pretence, and the contemners of all c!?.&t
advantages above them, who yet are mighty
squeamish respecting the performance of any duty
they may imagine below them. How often do wo
hear the ill-trailed youth or young man, on beip;;
sent out to earn his bread,object to the lifting of a
load or the carrying of a parcel, as though for su. ,i
(presumed degrading) duties ; on had set apert a
helot race—rot including, as a matter of eours*,
tinir line worships, who expect to go through lif-s
morally, if not physically, kid-gloved. Lear meant
a vast deal when iu? said, “Take physc, pomp.’
His counsel was not to *ht- king the peer, tbe sol
