Going Home,
“Suffer little children to couie unto me, and for
bid them not: for of such is the kingdom ot Heav
en.”
They ate going—only going—
Jcbus called them loug ugo;
All the wintry time they’re passing
Holily its the falling snow'.
When the violets in the Spring time
Catch the azure of the sky,
They are carried out to slumber,
Sweetly where the violets lie,
They are going—only going—
When with Summer earth is dressed,
Iu their cold hands holding roses
Folded to each silent breast;
W 1 en the Autumn hangs red banners
Out above the harvest sheaves;
They are going—ever going—
Thick and fast, like falling leaves.
All along the mighty ages,
All adown.tlie solemn time,
They have taken up their homeward
March to that screner clime,
Where the watching, waitings angels,
Lead them from the shadow dim,
To the brightness of His presence
Who lias called them unto him.
They are going—only going—
Out of pain and into bliss—
Out of sad and sinful weakness
Into perfect holiness.
Snowy brows—no care shall shade them ;
Bright eyes—tears shall never dim;
Rosy lips—no time shall fade them:
Jesus called them unto him.
Little hearts, forever stainless—
Little hands as pure as they—
Little feet by angels guided
Never a forbidden way !
They are going—ever going!
Leaving many a lonely spot;
But ’tis Jesus who has called them—
Suffer aud forbid them not.
[From Chamber’s Journal.]
THREE BTAHTLIAG MTI ATIONS.
My existence, i am happy to say, has not been
wrbat any conscientious “gentleman connected
with the press” would feel himself justified in
calling “checkered.” I did not begin life as the
heir to a dukedom, find myself at twenty-one to
huve been illegitimate, and eventually in a posi
tion to dictate to some popular author, from the
sick ward ofa Union workhouse, the interesting
raw materials for his novelette, “The Falling Star.”
Neither did 1 begin life a lad iu the kulle-house,
and
“Creeping up from high to higher,
Become ou Fortune’s crowning slope
The centre ofa ward’s desire,
Ami fit with aldermen to cope.”
The prayer of my godfather for me was like
Agur’s, that. J should have neither riches nor pov
erty ; he left me that much abused inheritance,
which, to a reasonable man, is nevertheless the
best ir the world, since it enables him to pursue
all good for their own sake—“a moderate
independence ;” and 1 have kept it ever since.
Hence, oh reader, it is vain to expect from this
comfortable quill either soaring flight into tlie
Kmpyrean (with a large tl,) or down swoops into
the Abysms. 1 know no more of palaces than 1
do of prisons, aud yet I have had my “three start
ling situations,” too. Most mortals who have
grown to be men and women, have had some ex
periences always afterward observable to their
mind’s eye iu the level road ol their existences,
even if they be but the being pitched out of a
merry-go-tound at a fair, or the having proposals
of marriage tendered to them bv a black man,
and why not i like the rest?
First, then, I have had the privilege of behold
ing a spiritual manifestation—three distinct, or,
at all events, separate ghosts at the same time.—
n 'his happened on my way from Calais to Paris, in
the winter of 1882. The boat, as it always does
w hen I am in it—a proof of my honest assertion
that there is nothing about me unlike what be
longs to tlie majority of my fellow-creatures—had
made an execeaingiy bad passage, aud 1 landed
upon the shores ot France wiili a vacuum within
me that I had yet no desire to replenish. Had it
been otherwise, tlieie was very little time to do
it, for the diligence, unlike myself, quite full in
side, was upon the point of starting, and I climb
ed up, in a miserable condition, beside the con
ductor. How lie screamed, gesticulated, and
cracked his prodigious whip, like a demon driver,
it is not necessary, and would be painful to me, to
describe. I fell asleep as soon as I could, an and
forgot him ; and when I awoke again l\e was
asleep, too, and the horses were going at their
own sweet will and pace, which latter is, in France,
a very moderate one. 1 felt cold and hungry
enough, but yet so faint as not to seem equal to
the effort of waking the driver, and urging him to
push on a little faster to the next roadside inn ;
so faint, so drowsy, that no earthly thing, I think,
short of an upset, could have roused me tip, or
awakened my interest. No earthly thing, per
haps ; but what was that running along the hedge
—upon the left baud ; running along by tbe side
of the diligence, and yet a little in advance, so as
to turn back and look at it and at me * That woke
me soon enough, aud mo)ff thoroughly. What
business had Alary (ipus, my little ward—who had
lately been left a widow, with two children, and
whom I had bidden good-by to only a few days
before —what business, I say, had she to be run
ning atop ofa roadside hedge between Calais and
Paris at midnight, always keeping her head turn
ed round, and her eyes fixed upon nie V There
was not the least doubt of it being Mary, although
I had never seen her with that look of pain and
entreaty on her face belore. I am thankful to
think that she never had to ask anything, either
for herself or others, twice from me. She never
looked before her, but glided swiftly on along the
hedge ; and w hen a gap intei veiled, seemed to
leap it without any spring or unusual eiertion.—
When her eyes were not on mine, they were fix
ed on one or other of the fore-wheels of the dili
gence ; and, presently, I leaned over to see what
was attracting her in the left-hand one. Georgy
was there —Georgy Ross, her eldest son, revolv
ing with the wheel, and upon its rim, disappearing
and coming up aguin as though he were buimd to
it, with his white face upward toward me and her,
but with shut eyes, flis brother Charles was on
the other wheel 1 knew, allhough, of course, I
could not see him ; and, presently, upon the great
empty front seat, where there was room for four
beside the driver, there lay stretched on either
side of me those same two boys, in long white
dresses, which—since they were dead, poor things,
as it subsequently turned out —might have been
shrouds. 1 had scarcely time to put roy hands
out, right and left, and through each of these
(onus, to feel the bare cushion of the seat, when
the driver, with a burst of garret, woke, and lath
ed the horses, calling them pigs and demons.—
Then tlie children and their dear mother vanished
forever. Being of a phlegmatic, or as I prefer to
call it, ofa philosophical disposition, I simply en
tered in my note book, writing it there, as I sat
in the clear moonlight, “Curious illusions produced
(December 14, 1832.) by hunger and fatigue.”
Nevertheless, as 1 .-at at breakfast in Paris on
tbe morning of tbe nineteenth, I received word by
post that Mary Ross and her two children were all
dead of typhus fever. “Mary,” tha letter said,
“kept asking for you, William, as though you
could have saved her little ones, and even after
they were out of the reach of earthly aid. She
herself did not survive them more than a few
hours. They all died on the fourteenth.
My second “startling situation” was not a ghost
ly one, although the locality was far better adapted
for such a phenomenon than the highroad to
Paris —a fine old manor-house iu Staffordshire,
that had been a petty stronghold in the time of
the civil wars. Rupert had sallied out of it at the
head of his rakehelly Babeatera, and Cromwell
bad stormed it with his Ironsides, smiting Agag—
that is to sa v, its then possessor, Sir Jasper Seion
hip and thigh. lie was cut to pieces in the great
ball, which is now the music-room, or was, in the
days I knew it ; And the clash of steel is still to
be heard there in wild winter midnights, although,
I cannot say that I ever detected myself, for cer
tain. There were, however, the most mysterious
nightly sounds in that old house, whose furniture,
though good and costly, was throughout, from
garret to still-room, exceedingly ancient. I nev
er was, indeed, iu any dwelling-house where An
• t quity had it so much her own way. It was full
j ot unnecessary and unexpected flights ot stairs, of
tortuous passages, of long, dark, slippery galler
ies, and especially full ol lingering echoes, always
dying out, and never dead. Nine tenths of the
mysterious noises came, of course, from these
same echoes ; but who made the other tenth, aud
set the noises going, was a problem not so easily
solved. \\ ho emptied sacks of potatoes every
night down the wide uncarpeted oak-stair in the
aforesaid music-hall, was quite au open question;
for every body agreed, though there was no pota
toes to be found there, that that was the opera
tion which the disturbance most resembled. Who
went about and seemed to listen—with list-slipper
on—at the chamber-doors ? Who rang tbe draw
ing-room belis when nothing was wanted, and
every body was gone to bed ? My answer, on
account of the philosophic character of my na
ture, was always, Rats The house so swarmed
with them, that it might have been called Rats
Castle. The arras, in aucb of the chambers as
were not iu constant use, was rat-eaten as well as
moth-eaten. The wainscots were riddled by rats ;
and they were only kept away from the provisions
of the household by a patent safe, that was the
one modern contrivance in Iluilby Hall. Never
tlieless, the old place was the verv home of Christ
mas hospitality, and had lor me who did not care
for rats, only one source of annoyauee : I dared
not indulge of two of my usual customs—getting
up early in tlie morning, and sleep-walking at
night—for fear of being shot b_v Captain Seyton,
the eldest son of Fir Arthur, who, enraged by the
state of terror in which the female portion of the
domestics were plunged, perambulated the house
at all hours with a revolver, wherewith he had
pledged himself to put an end to all disturbers of
tlie household peace. His sisters, being Setons,
were, of course, afraid of nothing ; but I confess,
that lor my part, I did not like that six-barrelled
implement of the young dragoon at all. The
nightly noises, however, were no whit decreased
bv this amateur watchman; and one December
night, when a grim north-easter was trying doors
and windows from without, and the rats were at
work as usual with their potato-sacks and list
slippers within, he added considerably to the gen
eral tumult by ringing a huge hand alarm-bell—
which he had placed in his bed-room in case of
emergency —and all the inmates of the mansion
flocked to tlie summons as bees are gathered bv
the hivesman. We found the captain in his dress
ing gown, in the western gallery, standing by an
ugly mark iu the pannelling, whidi he had made ]
with the muzzle ot his pistol. j
“Here he is,” cried he ; “the fellow went ]
through here, I’ll take my oath ! I heard him j
listening at my door, and was out in a minute, ta- t
king a snap-shot at him, but the thing missed ]
fire.”
“Heard whom ?—heard whom t" —inquired Sir
Arthur.
“i don’t know ; how should I?” replied the
young man. “Perhaps a ghost ; or, if not, some
body who was never so near being a ghost, I’ll
warrant him, a* he was five minutes back. 1 ’ll
have this pannel broken in. No, father, we’ll not
leave it till to-iuorrow, if you please ; that’s how
these things go on—let’s do it at once. There’s
a pickaxe in the stable-yard ; go and fetch it,
j Thomas.”
j Fo the pickaxe was brought, and—Sir Arthur
unwillingly assenting—we broke up the black oak
pannelling into a hundred splinters, and then
through a thick stone wall, without a hinge or en
trance, as it seemed, of any kind in it, into a
chamber, of the existence of which no person in
the house had ever known. A modern chamber—
a small sittiug-room, barely furnished w ith chairs
and table of a date of construction later by at
least two hundred years than anything iu the
house, except the patent safe ; but there were no
windows to the room, nor any means of ingress
that could be discovered, save that very rough
one of our own. Ido not think that either ghost
lor burglar could have affected us all more strange
ly than the sight of that untenauted and uuknowu
modern room. It is still to be seen in the west
gallery of Burlby Hall, the sole approach to it—
lor so the Setous will have it—yet lying open be
tween the splintered planks and broken stone
work, as when it was lirst found. The mystery
concerning it and its occupants—if any—is still
unsolved, and the rats make just as much noise
about tbe grand old place as ever.
ily third remarkable adventure occurred to me
in broad day-light, when it is especially creditable
to a situation to be “startling,” as mine undoubt
edly was. I was in Chester, residing with my
family, consisting of my wife and a grown-up sou
and daughter, in temporary lodgings, three sto
ries high, but otherwise very convenient. It was
ten o’clock in Ihe morning, but, I am ashamed to
say, we were still at breakfast, for we were away
from home on pleasure, aud had fallen into all
sorts of idle habits. Gur conversation happened
to be upon an incivility my wife had met with in
the town on the preceding day. Some coal-heav
ers were uncarting coal upon the pavement, and
roadway being very wet, she had asked them to
desist from their occupation fora moment, so that
she might pass. They did so, hut not without one
of them observing, “And how do you think we
should get our work done, missis, if we were to
wait for every 100 las goes by 7” We were ex
pressing our hope that this gentleman’s remark
was not an exemplitieatiou of Chester manners,
when the third window of our room—that furthest
from the breakfast-table —was violently thrown
open, and the head and unclothed shoulders of a
mini thrust tbemtelves inward. Mv son and I
were so overcome with astonishment, and tbe la
dies with terror, that it must have been nearly a
full minute before I stooped down for the poker,
during the whole of which interval he made the
most hideous grimaces it is possible to conceive.
Independent of these, his natural ugliness was ex
cessive, he being perfectly bald, and of a bright
scarlet color —such a complexion as I had never
before seen on any man. As I rau at him, poker
in hand, he slammed down the window, and be
fore I could open it, was out of sight. Wonderful
as had been his appearance, his disappearance was
far more so, aud, indeed, inexplicable. The win
dow which had been thrown up was a half-window
—that is to say, it was common to our room and
the next to it, which also belonged to the same
house, but was at that time uninhabited and lock
ed up. Having satisfied ourselves by a thorough
search that the apparition was not in this apart
ment, there was nothing left but the conclusion
he had made his way along a narrow ledge of not
more than four write* broad, to some other house
to tbe right of ours, aud that with the most ex
cessive quicknesg. The ledge was at least forty
feet perpendicular above a crowded street, with
no other resting place between that and the
ground, and in full view of all passers-by, some of
whom would have been surely attracted by the
spectacle of a naked scarlet man balancing him
self upon next to nothing over their heads. The
matter, indeed, seemed inexplicable ; but still I
felt it my duty to persevere in my investigations,
since the minds ot both my wife and daughter
had been greatly shaken by the occurrence, and
if I could only find some reasonable explanation,
I knew that half that mischief would be done
away with. I spared, therefore, neither pains \
nor money to this end. The police were set to
work ; a reward was offered for the discovery of
the person who had committed the outrage; and
all passengers through the street in question
upon that morning, between ten and quarter past
ten, were exhorted to come forward and witness
to any peculiar appearance visible at that time
and place. All, however, was in vain, until about
a fortnight afterward. The subject was by that
time avoided by ns as much as possible, while the
ladies were present ; but one forenoon, while my
son and I were speaking of it as the maid was
laying the luncheon-cloth, he observed :
“Do you know, father, I have been thinking a
good deal about the odd appearance of that horri
ble man’s head, and have come to the conclusion
that it was not bald at all, but shaved.”
“Good,” said 1. “I’m pretty sure, my lad
you’re right; and in that case, he must have been
an escaped lunatic. This gives us a clue —”
“Please, sir,” interrupted the maid, with a
courtesy, “Mr. John Stokes, at No. 23, av ad is
ead shaved lately for scarlet fever.”
“For scarlet fever,” cried I, “ Eureka , Eureka
and I clapped my hat on, and rushed off to No.
23 like a lunatic myself.
Mr. John Stokes was grievously ill, and not to
be seen by anybody but his lawyer, said the ser
vant,
“And am 1 not his lawyer, my good matt ?
Can’t you see ?”
Fo I went up, as I had conjectured would be
the case, to the third story, the same in which
was our own sitting-room iu No. ly. Poor Mr.
John Stokes was lying in bd, and luckilj, fast

HCO that had been so impressed upon all our
memories.
“Ilf has been delirious lor days, poor fellow |”
the nurse ; “and it would boa pity to wake
him for any business matter—would it not ?”
1 said that it would be a great pity, and that it
was not to bethought of; and then asked wheth
oi ilie sick man was eve left alone.
“Never, sir.”
“Are you quite sure of that V said I, severely.
Nell, sir, I may say ‘never that is, except
just for my going downstairs for his breakfast ”
“And what time does he breakfast ?”
“Well, sir, about ten o’clock.”
“Between ten Rod a quarter past, I suppose ?”
~ es > s * r > replied the astonished nurse, “just
The window barest to our house was, I found
unbolted. It was dear that Mr. John Stokes
who afterwards got well of his fever, and I hope,
recovered his hair—was the apparition that had
so spoiled our breakfast a fortnight ago, and set
our digestions wrong ever since.
The only mystery remaining was, how, even in
delirium, human feet could have gone so swiftly
and surely upon that narrow ledge along the fronts
of three broad houses, and how they could have
remained invisible to any eyes save ours.
Summer Sours,
Physiological reaeach has fully established the
fact that acids promote the seperation of the bile
from the blood, which is then passed from the sys
tem, tlius preventing fevers, the prevailing disease
of summer. All fevers are “billions,” that fs, the
bile is in the blood. Whatever is antagonistic to
fevers is cooling. It is a common saying that
fruits are “cooling,” and also berries of every des
cription ; it is because the acidity which they con
tain aids in separating the bile from the blood.
Hence the great yearnings for greens and lettuce,
and sallads, in the early part of spring, these be
ing eaten with vinegar; hence, also, the taste foe
something sour, for lemonades on an attack of
lever. But this being the ease, it is ea9y to sea
that we nullify the good effects of fruits aud ber
ries in proportions as we cat them with sugar, or
even sweet milk or cream. If we eat them in their
natural state, fresh ripe perfect, it is almost imposs.
ible to eat too many, to eat enough to hurt us,
especially if we eat them alone, not taking any
liquid with them w hatever. Hence also is butter
milk, or even common sour milk, promotive of
health in summer time. Sweet milk tends to bil*
liousness in sedentary people ; sour milk is antago
nistic. The Greeks and Turks are passionately
fond of sour milk. The shepherds use rennet, anil
the milk-dealers alum, to make it sour the sooner.
Buttermilk acts like watermelons on the system.—

It is astonishing what, grand results energy can
cause to flow from feeble and insignificant begin
ning*. In the moral as well as the natural world,
we see “tall oaks from little acorns grow.” The
fertilizing principle of human energy and perse
verance has only to be applied to produce the
change. We have a striking illustrution of this
i progressive action in the history of the Adams
Express. A few years ago it was without a local
habitation at any point in the States, and trusted
to the greater lines of railroads to carry a lew
agents about, w ho, in a 9matl chest or wallet, con
veyed their little bailments of precious and di
minutive packages, the apparent insignificance of
; which made it unsafe to trust them to their chan
ces in the great stream of commerce. Now it is
a vast concern, an institution, reaching out its
arms from the Atlantic to the Pacific shores, and
even crossing the mighty deep in charge of its
valuable trusts. An incredible amount of the
commerce of the country is in its hands ; it owns
holds in ships, whole cars on railroads and some
times antire trains, while instead the little nook
iu a merchant’s office or behind the counter of a
doggery, the vast treasures committed to their
bauds are stored in warehouses of their own, and
of palatial elegance. This year, alone, we bear
they intend investing a million of dollars in real
estate in the various cities of the Union, for the
accommodation of their enormous business.—
What is still more to their credit, they have the
confidence of the public, acquired by energetic
attention to business, prompt responses to all
looses and damage, and tbe general courtesy and
fidelity of their agents.
Some interesting facts connected with the pro
gress of the Express, are set forth in a letter
from Baltimore to the N. 0. Picayune , from which
we make the following extract. Before introduc
ing it we may say that we indite this small trib
ute to a praise-worthy association, of our own ac
cord, as an act of justice, without the knowledge
or request of any one connected with their estab
lishment.—Sao. Republican.*
“What is at present termed and known as the
Adams Express Company dates back to 1854.
Previous to that period, for a series of years, it
was recognized as Adams & Co.’s Express. There
are at present some nine or ten principal directors,
owners aud controllers of the existing company.—
They reside East, West, North and South, being
identified substantially, with the conservative in
stitutions and interests of each section. This
makes them free from all sectionalism, forming a
unity of purpose and interest, which, combined,
must look as well to individual emolument as to
general good and prosperity.
It is really wonderful to contemplate the pres
ent extension and ramifications, of this great con
cern. There is scarcely a town or city of note—
indeed, I may say, not one—within the broad
compass of our Union, where the Adams Express
Company does not have an office aud transact
business. It ramifies everywhere and has grown,
not only powerful, but perfect in organization.—
Go where we will, desiring to avail of its facilities,
either in expressing news, making collections, or
forwarding packages, all things are at hand, and
our wishes promptly met. It has become, in fact,
an indispensable necessity, without which, or its
like, our country, and even the General Govern
ment, would feel at a serious loss.”
lteniiuiscenccN of tlie IVlurriage of Henry
Clay.
The delivery of the statue of Henry Clay, in
New Orleans, and its proposed inauguration next
Thursday, the 12th instant, is exciting a proper
degree of interest both in and outside of that
City. Kentucky is to be formally represented at
the inaugural ceremonies. A representative has
already been designated in the person of Mark
Harden, Esq., who was selected last week at ;t
public meeting held at Shelbyville. How singu
larly appropriate this appointment is will appear
by tbe following paragraph from an exchange :
“An interesting incident occurred a few days
ago at Louisville, Kentucky. It was the meeting
only two persons now living who were present at
the marriage of Henry Clay. The parties were
Mark Hardin, of Shelbyville, a noble relict of the
old time generation ot Kentuckians, and the ven
erable Mrs. Price, the mother-in-law of Judge
Thomas A. Marshall, of the Court of Appeal* of
the State. At the time of the marriage, Mr.
Hardin was a clerk for Coi. Hart, of Lexington,
whose daughter Mr. Clay married, and Mrs. Prke
was one of tbe mo9t admired belles of the State.
Col. Hart was a merchant, and a rich one for
that early time, full of the whole-hearted hospital
ity which characterized the pioneers of the West,
and proud of the brilliant promises of his new
son-in-law. The wedding, therefore, was a sump
tuous affair ; it.citations were seut to every fami
ly of respectability within the settled portions ot
the State, aud the mansion of the bride’s father
was thronged with guests, lrom the gayest youth
to the gravest age. The visitors varied iu cos
tume as much as in years. Honest tan-bark dyed
homespun was there, blushing beside the gaudy
European fribberies of lace coats, ruffles and smalt
swords.
The venerable couple I have named had not
seen each other for a long period, until their late
meeting. They recalled the incidents of the wed
ding, and revived memories of friends and com
panions among the large company there gathered
together, some of whom had died in riches and
honors, others in disgrace or destitution —all were
gone ! Sixty years had swept all but themselves
from their places among the living.
A Baltimore paper states that a branch of th
“Kninghts of tbe Golden Circle,” nearly one thous
and in number, from respectable families, are dril
ling there for an invasion of Mexico. They ex
pect to be off in a few weeks. The Government
will not molest them, as they will am outside of
the jurisdiction of tbe United States,
