DAYLIGHT.
The stars are fading one by one
The shadows steal away,
And in the east, a tinge of light
Comes on the cheek of day ;
The birds are chirping slyly,
lit the bramble by the rill;
And the cock is crowing loudly,.
At the cottage on the hill;.
And the morn comes ushering in,
With the grandeur of her dawn ;■
As the echoes wake with music,
And the hunter sounds his horn,
A deeper biush is on the sky,
Tito dew drops hang on tire,
And splendor spreads her’wings
From cottage-roof to spire :
The river chafes, along its channel—
Its dark embowered way,
lint gladly welcomes throu’h the gloom
The glance of opening day ;
And as it speeds forever onward,
It’s turbid course to run ,
How sweetly does it murmer,
Of a glory, just begun.
The grasses all are wet,
Tile gossamers draped i:t white,
And through the extended woodland.
They drink in roseate light;
And, oil, how softly through the air !
(Jotnes the sound of rustling leaves,
And the bird notes blending
Witli the sigh the pine tree heaves ;
And all the earth is full
Of fragrance and of song,
And the heart is full ofloye,
And destitute of wrong ;
Yet all this plcutitu lc abounding
Of sound, and sense, and light,
Is hut the budding of it day
That is to be by far, more Ijrijht,

[CON XltllUiT 1-: I >. A
“CHRISTS BAPTISM BY JOIIX."
Tlie “Author’' of tlic foregoing, in a
late issue of your paper, replies to K. .1.
I’.; and iflie kacl eonlined himself to
lbs subject, proper, this article woffikl
not have been but wiieroas, be
turned out o'' liis way to. misrepresent
the baptist,, his “reply” reijiiiras notice
from, me or someone else. It is no!
my desire or intention to enter into a'bap
tikui.il controversy’ with him or any one
else, were I. competent..
in the lir.il; place ha intimates, if i un
derstand him,that a secular paper ghoul 1
keep clear of “religious controversy.”
Perhaps it; should, perhaps not: some
thing may be said upon noth sides of
the ipiestion . Tue legitimate object of
such controversy is to up root error and
establish important truths in the minds
of the people. The latter can only be
reached through the secular press; for
a denominational paper is read by but
few out i le of a particular circle, and
within this circle, perhaps the same, in
struction lias been given ii dili'erent
forms a Lnmire 1 ti.no s. Not only that,
our religious papers borrow notices, gen
eral news, etc., from secular [mi ners in
order to. have variety and interest ail
clases. Well, if it is right for the relig
ious, to.strut tlminli’r J'njiiitki' xtxiUur, 1
do not sec why the rule should not work
both way s; and futhermore, a great deal*
of religious controversy, so-called,,
lire it has much more of the spirit of the
old, than the new Adam, mi l is really
not flit to grace the columns of a secular
paper.
lint the very objectionable paragraph iii
the “Author’s” article, that has cause l
me to ink my nib, it omorace 1 in the
following paragraph, which is quoted
vcAhit-im il Uti'fuiiiii, to-wit: “There is
a class among them,’'- —liaptist preach
ers—who seem to have read nothing
aid stu lie 1 nothing but baptism., To
them tiie whole gospel is inthe one word
baptism. They have picked up in some
way, at second hand, a stereotyped rig
marole, and often, incoherent jumble of
nonsense, like that which your learned
conributoi has furnished us, and pour it
oi.it in almost every sermon. Wherever
their text may bo, their sermon is the
alapod—Baptism 1 Baptism !!” This
extract contains a vast deal more sarcasm
than.truth, and will interest certain big
ots mnc'i ropre than the lovers of justice.
A molehill is magnified into a moun
tain !. The boy told this miller that just
back there inthe head of this branch, he
saw a hundred squirrels, but upon be
ing closely (piestiene l he had to, ac
knowledge, that he only saw a. bush
shake—aud said that lie would stick to,
that’till he died! render, make the rtpp/t-
Cdtioib.
In the analysis of soma tilings, chem
ists find only a “trace” of some particu
lar element, which exists in such a very
small quantity, that it cannot be defin
itely measured. “Author,” instead of
usingtlie term "class,” should have use l
the term trace, unless he wished to mis
represent—which 1 do not believe. I do
not know how many exactly, it takes
compared with the whole to constitute
a class; but “Author” cannot find the
class that he refers to, outside of liis
reply; unless he could travel into the
territory bounded by the crown, of his
hat, where his imagination U located.
1 be says of this (da is, "Wherever their
text may be, their sermon, is the alapod
—Baptism ! Baptism !!” It makes no
dili’ereiice what their text may be, “it in
down into the water,” A hard lick!
one too, that will'make every baptist
smile that reads it. 1 am puzxhjd to
know how he made the discovery con
tained in the charge, lias lie a gang of
spies employed to go round with this
shallow-headed class of baptist preach
ers, who report to bin. all their serm
ons!' So far as “Author” him self is
concerned, I hnv’iit seen him at but one
I baptist meeting in the last twenty years,
I and then lie gave us an excellent ser
mon. lie will be welcome to do so again,
if he chooses.
The truth is, if my memory serves me
correctly, I have not heard but one bap
tist preacher touch upon the ordinance
controversially, but once in the pulpit in
the last decade, and that was myself.
It was my first of the sort, and the lust,
for I very well know that pulpit contro
versy is distasteful to most of the bap
tists. Nor is it true that our preachers
—any class—often harp upon this sub
ject in any way.
lint hear him again; he lays it on
still heavier if possible : ••To them the
whole? gospel is in tiro one word hap
tic m, !’ Niew.s to me; 1 didn't know
that such a class of baptist preachers
was in existence—poor fellows ! How
they need light; but where tlo they live?
They must certainly dwell in some iso
lated nook or corner, where the “fool
killer” can’t find them. When he comes
round again, he had better call upon
“Author” ami ascertain, their where
abouts ; but seriously, 1 am surprised
that a “Doctor of Divinity” would suf
fer himself under momentary excite
ment to make such an uncharitable,,
reckless, sweeping, Hat-footed charge
against a part of the Lord’s people!
“Author” advises I’., to “look before lie
leaps’’—l incliue to the opinion, that a
good share of this advice is needed
much nearer home; but 1 presume
"Author is like the balance of the
preachers, in one thing at least, he finds
it much easier to give edvioe than to
follow it.
I will say in conclusion, that there are
exceptions to almost every general rule ;
but the term .exception, in its common
acceptation, ia much more circumscribed
than the term, class.. The latter may
embrace as ranch as one third of the
ithole. The baptists as a denomina
tion, and as a general rule, do not attach
one particle more of importance to bap
tism than the word of (10l justifies;
aud do not force it to embrace oik- iota
of the gospel more than its sacred Au
thor designed.
We baptists believe, that this, ordi
nance was introduced amUestablished
by the great head of the church ; aud
tiiat tlie same authority has given us in
Divine revelation, clear, definite instruc
tions in regard to fife mode and design
ol this ordinance;. 'and no authority
whatever, to.change or alter theoretical
ly or practically either, for the sake of
convenience or any other reason. We
believe that it is our duty to conform to
the Lord’s will in all tilings, despite of
our inclinations to the contrary—-“if any
man shall take away from tlie words of
the book of this prophecy, il-il shall
take away lus par: of the h>■>!•; of life,
aud. out of the holy city, and from the
things which are written in this h. ok.”
Rev! I_>: Hi.
1 have written.enough for one article
I may follow this with two more ; pro
vided the editors, do-not shut down the
gale, And as “Author” seems to be
very much averse to replying to “squibs,”
i will endeavor to be truthful through
out, so that there may be r.o errors for
him to correct; aud consequently, no
necessity fora reply. ’he majeUic ea
gle mav' feel secure in his lofty moun
tain pureii, but lie may yet hear the
twang of the- bow-string and the whiz
of the arrows. I‘i.a ro.
A W 1 PIT S J P.A 7, 0 US 1
“What were yon reading when I came
in upon you just now?” Mrs. Craw
ford asked her husband. “You looked
very much inters -t, ;d.”
Mr. Crawford looked at her o ldly.
‘•Really, t don’t know,” ho said.—
"Was 1 reading anything?”
‘Tin sure- I’m not inquisitive,” said
Airs. Crawford, and sat down o:i the
coffee-urn. with a little lloiuice ; only
1 always show you my letters, Vi illiarn.-
“I’v.o only received one letter this
morning.” saul Air. Crawford. “If you’d
like to share the pleasure of reading it,
you can.”
110 tossed her an envelope, within
which lay a little folded paper—the
butcher’s monthly account.
Mrs. Crawford poked tlie bill buck in
to the envelope. It. was a yellow one.
That which she had seen her husband
reading, had, she felt sure, a delicate
pink tinge.
In ail their married life Mrs. Craw
ford had, nev.er felt a suspicion of her
husband before; but there was no chat
over the breakfast table that morning.—
The-children was neglected and grew
fretful; tlie mother scolded them. The
father gave no good-by kiss to liis wife,
and when, her early morning duties
over and the children olf to school,
Mrs. Crawford ascended to. the little
sitting room, she carried as wretched a
heart thither as could well beat in any
woman's bread.
“But it was a pate pink note and a
lady’s hand,” said Mrs. Crawford to
herself; “and he hid;it from,me." Tlie
horror she felt at opening the desk se
cretly, an 1 as a burglar might, quite
passed away. She wip and her eyes w til
her Handkerchief, and plunged into a
Certain box, which was a receptacle of
o lds and ends. Thence she brought
forth a jingling chain, with keys strung
upon it, little and big, iron and brass,
new and ’rusty: keys of closots and
drawers, and trucks and boxes key s
her grandmother had had lor her store
room; keys that belonged to her own
doll's bureau. Gathering them up in,her
hands, she sat down before the desk,
and began to-try one after the other in
tho little lock. At last she found one
that fitted. She. lifted the lid, and Inn
eyes, re 1 with t ears, saw the viitarior ol
the desk. The-e was a book—one Iter
husband had been reading the night
before—from the edge of which protrud
ed something pink. Mrs. Crawford
pounced upon this with a low cry.. It
was a little envelope ; from it she tore
a note. This was what she read:
“Mv Dear Wu.i.iv,M; — I’ve longed to seo
i you nil day. tie sure that you come to-night’
‘ With a kiss,, yours always,” ’
Mrs. Crawford gave a little scream.
J but she thought of the servants, and re
strained herself. White as death, she
put the note back in the book, locked
t.lie desk, and then dropped the great.
! chain of keys into the box. Then she
sat down in her rocking-chair and sway
ed herself backward and forward, and
asked herself what she should do.—
: What, indeed! Fifteen-years she had
been married, and all this while site
hatl been so. happy. And novy, trouble
worse than death had come. There was
no explaining this away. Her husband
ha 1 no sisters, no mother no. female
L'iend or relative who could write such a
tiling.
-So, there was no oxplmation but
this dreadful one—he had been making
love to someone. Perhaps ho had two
wives. Y\ lien men began to be bad
no one could tell whore they would
atop.
When Iter husband came home lie had
no suspicion of the discovery she had
made, lie looked at her much as usual,
and then spoke first.
“What’s the matter, Em? The chil
dren are not threatene l with the small
pox?”
"If they were dead of it, William, and.
I too, L should feel glad,” said (he wife.
■•]. had rather be dead titan feel as I do
to,-night.”
"My dear, I never saw you this way
before,” said he. "Are you ill? !am
afraid you are.”
I Io came to her side and bent over her. i
Shu repulsed him. Then he, astonished !
and angry, stood looking at iter.
“What am I to tin lerstaud by this?” i
ho asked.
“You know, William,” site answered.
“Look into yon heart and ask yourself, i
Alt, L have been a true wife to i
you, and a good mother to your children.!
for fifteen years, and now you turn from I
nte for some younger ami prettier woman |
You See 1 know all, William. I know
why women don’t reason things out |
like men; they know the truth by in-1
stinet. 1 opened your desk, and I read
the note you had hidden inside the book
of poems, and t don’t know who she
is, and i don’t care; but you love an
other woman.”
Still the husband stood looking at his
wife—the strangest Look, lie did not
approach her, nor did lie answer her
by any word. Alter a while lie said
soft ly. and quite to himself.
"The little pink note in the book!.
Well! to be sure ! Yes, yes ; and she is
jealous 1”
“Jealous !” eric 1 poor Mrs ("rawford. :
“That's a light word to me, and you
use it lightly. It's nothing that you'
have been so false to mo that you are
still—-”
“Emma,’ said the man, interrupting j
hor, “you make accusations very eooly.'
Why do you declare that 1 have been '
false to you?”
A little ray of hope shot into the wife's
heart.
“At least, yon, must !i° vc made love ,
to a woman, before she could write so to
you.”
lie shook his heal softly.
“Y'es, Ico if.si that,” lie said..
“This is more than 1 can bear,” sob
bed the wife. I'm an idiot to talk to!
you ; but you mu it know my resolution. 1
We must part. I’apn will take me home, 1
1 will go to him with my child en. and!
vou—you can go to her, whoever s!m is. 1
I will not sluu'e tlie heart that was once
all my own.”
-1 don't think you were tight to open
my desk as you did,” he su'd ; “but
sin'-.' you have found the letter, I'll
make a cl"au breast of it. Lovs is some
tiling that comes aud goes at will. 1.
live that woman, aud she, poor girl,
loves me. 1 suppose you feel anxious,
to go to your fa . her, 1 must let you go..
I'll write toitlie old gentleman and ex-;
plain. Good night.. Kmma,”
.Next day a carriage stopped at t.ho
door, an l a whitu-haire 1 old farmer
stepped from it,. I t was Emma's father.
Mr. Crawford had boon as good as his '
word, and had written to him.
“Oil, father,” cried the wretchd wo
man,, ns she clung to his arms, “this is!
a sad. sad ending.to all my hopes !”
“Yes, Emma,” said, the old man.—'
“Crawford has told me all. It, is very 1
dreadful; but you can’t regret leaving!
him—a man that gets love letters from
other women, Emma.”
ller mother took her in her arms at l
the door ; that was something ; but after!
all she could not forget her long, long |
wifehood. That night Airs. Crawford lay ;
awake and not likely t) sleep
"Awake,, daughter?” askucl a voice.i
She answered.
"Yes, father—and likely to be for
the rest of tlie night.”
Then tlie door opened, and the old
man came in.
“1 came to bring yon this. You hus

Emma."'
The same queer look she had seen in
all their faces startled Emma Crawford
again; but it passed from her mind as
sluj took up Mio led w that, had been laid
ou her pillow, and breaking the seal,
found two small note;—one numbered
"one," and the other two “two" in black
lead pencil; and another in her luts
bands handwriting:
“My DsArEmja. —I tliink that by this time
yen will have grown anxious to know more
about dm woman that wrote to me. She's a
very nice little soul, though trouble! with
! jeali us.y, and I married her fifteen \ea.-s ii'-o
1 lived very near her during courting days,
and we wrote but seldom to each other.. 1 had
two little notes-only.. Those I kept.. Toe one
numbered “two" was written on her return
front a short vi-i/.. The one junuben-d 'one,'
while shs was abseut. The number two' is
the one you read. I came across it that morn
ing you spied me reading it. 1 should have
told yon had you not been so cross. Eut when
I was soft with ihe memory of old' oourtiuo
days, you snapped at me. Emma, my dear,
you had forgotion your own little notes; but if
•instinct' .sad only prompted yon to ld-.lt at the
dates, it would have been better. "Instinct’
always guides a woman, you know. Parliaps,
yottli not cure to live always with your pa

and come to.him. Yours as over,

“Fni her, do you think that he can
ever forgive me and take me back?”
said Mrs. Crawford to her father next
morning. -I have been suck an. ulb it 1.”
"I thut t know, i m sure, my dear”
snidthe old man; and then he opened
the parlor door, and someone .standing
within stretched out his arms, and Em

Her first fit of jealousy was over, and

Plenty oe OrpoitTE.MTiE.s for Every
day Economy.
A writer in Cassell’s Family Maga
zine says If any one who.read these
linos are conscious that their pockets
are made of such, materials that when
ever money is put, into them it will bunt
a hole until it gets out, l would advise
them, whenever they take the air,, to.
leave their money at home, or better
still, to keep an exact account of every
half-penny they spend. It is astonish
ing how foolish small extravagances ap
pear when they have to be put down in
black and white, after the temptation to
indulge in them is over. And they
must be put down in detail,, and. not
conveniently classed, together under the
general list, never admitted into wcllkept
household accounts. Xo one who has
not tried it. would believe what a cheek
if is upon personal expenditure- tYnkeep.
e.,thuT<mgh account- of money spent, atul.
not only a check, but a help; for prices
may bo compared ajtd thus lessons
learned fsoin experience..
(lenerally speaking-, whenever large
savings have been ma.de,.they have been
ofleeted in little sums. Very few. per
sons of ordinary honesty deliberately
set to, work to make large purchases,
winch they cannot afford, and yet nrjiif
hers spend just, as much in the long sum
in the little things that they scarcely
think worthy of notice. It is very dif
fieull to. realize fully the value of small!
sums. If the half-pennies and pennies
that lie loose in the pockets were prop
erly appreciated, there would not lie so!
much pecuniary embarasstnent in tlie 1
world as there is. “Many a mickle I
make i a mtickle ;” this is true of noth-!
ing more than half-pennies and pen
nies.
These Uttlc savings, as a rule must he
made in. personal expenditure more!
than: in anything else. What is- spent'
over the household is-gm eriady needed,.!
but the small personal luxuries which!
cost so little are not. And when any I
saving is made in this way the money I
should be put aside as saved, instead of
being mixed with tlie spending fund,,
and additions made to it as frequently
a ; possible ; that will make you under
ituida; soon ns-anything what small
economies amount to.
When money is put aside to be save 1„
it should be put in some place- where
it cannot be directly got at.. I cannot
apeak too highly vf the savings bank
for this purpose. Tlie very fact that a
little trouble and formula has to, bo gone ]
through before it can be obtained,. pre-J
vmts it being spent many a time whonJ
it most, certainly would be it'it were]
close at hand.
1 said just now that what was-spent
for the household was generally a neces
sary outlay, and yet there arc two or
three ways in which money ran. be sav
ed here that I should like to mention.!
The first is by buying in. large-quan
tities. Of course the danger is that
when there is a stock of things to>“run
at,” a proper quantity must be por
tioned out and. the-rest put away.. 'Alien
it will be found that articles may be
bought both cheaper and better in large
quantities than in small ones.
Another way to save expense is to
pay for everything as you get it. If you
do this you will avoid overcharge, and
will buy far less. If tlie money had t >
be [nit down at the moment many an tri
ne -essary purchase would be avoided.
IV-ophr who have limite 1 incomes arc
those who can least, afford lb live-ont
ce lit. an 1 unfortunately they, do it
more than any others.
I hoard of a workingman fho other
day who was very desirous to.save, and,
yet in looking over his expenditure-lie
could not detect any extravagance- in
any part of it I iecameto the conclu
sion that the only wa v in which he could
possibly economize was to walk to his
work fasten 1 of riding, and to.take his
dinner with him from home instead of
buying it in the city. He did this, and
put away the money thus saved, and in
a few years he found lie had in his pos
session enough to buy the cottage in
which he lived. l!e was besides much
better in health for the regular exercise
he lin 1 taken.
* Speaking of dinners reminds me to
say that it is no economy to live poorly.
Nature requires a certain amount of
j nourishment and will B have it, or be re
ivenged, and the revenge will probably
take the form of a long doctor's bill or
diminished working power. This sort
of saving is “penny wise and pound
foolish.” The things to save out of are
shams, false appearances and self-in
dulgences, not necessaries. Where is
the saving in working in a dim light to
save candles or gas, and injuring the
sight? Li wearing boots that take in
water and bringing on rheumatic lever?
In living on poor food-and lowering the
system ! Far better wear a shabby hat
a week or two 10/iger tlhin usual, or dis
pense altogether with that piece of fine
ry you were contemplating. The worst
of it. is,, however, that people are gener
ally more willing to. dispense with nee
essaries that make no stum than with
useless extravagance that afford no op
portunity for display which every one
sees through.
Uelore i conclude, I must say 7 one
word of warning in reference to small
economies. ITV continually read in tiiti
newspapers of people who die in misery
atul poverty, who have perhaps received
help from, the parish; and after their
death moiu>y is found, which they have
hidden in. all sorts of odd nooks and
corners. V ith these untortunates, sav
ing has become a mania, and of all ma
nias 1 think it is one of the most >ie
plorable. for afier all, money in itself i t
worth absolutely nothing—it is only
valuable for what it can procure. It it
will only bring comforts and necessaries
for those wo love, whilst we are able to
work, and insure independence for those
ourselves when we cannot do so, it is
worth small economies, forethought,
hard work, energy, care and self-denial.
But even gold is bought too dear when
the desire for it is allowed to overpower
every other feeling.

Tin- l’ass of Thermopyla- has jus Mv
been regarded by history as a spot con
secrated by the most sacred memories,
daring bravery, and patriotic resistance
recorded in,the annals of ancient times.
Leonidas and liis small but sturdy Spar
tan band opposing the progress of an
army many thousand times their num
ber,. until the last of these noble patri
ots were cut down, has been a fruitful
theme for poets and orators for countless
ages.. But there are two, instances in
modern times, an I two spots in Ameri
can soil, that are equally memorable.—
The stubborn defence of Fort Alamo,
upon the Texan frontier, by Davy
Crockett and Col. Win. Barrett Travis,
with one hundred and forty faithful l'ol
kiwers, against the invasion of the
Mexican army, can equally challenge
the admiration and astonishment of
the world. It. is remembered that this
Texan garrison refused to surrender
until all except Davy Crockett and live
men were killed. These surrendered
after assurances of being treated as
prisoners of war, aud were taken and
cruelly cut to-pieces by the i.roacherous
Mexicans. "Remember the Alamo!’’
was the war cry afterwards which gain
ed for Texas her independence. Tlie
other place consecrated by tiio blood
and. valor of imuioutal braves, is to be
tl.iuid. in the Lava-beds, far away in.tlio
wild regions of the Western Territories..
Captain. Jack's scornful defiance of tin-,
whole American Government, liis
slaughter of the pale-faces many times
liis superiors, both in numbers aud am
munition. and liis sublime indifference
to death or torture, his heroic defence
of his long-loved hunting grounds,
ought undoubtedly to rank him ns a
compeer and an equal in every respect
with Leonidas of old, Some may be
disposed, to, sneer at this account, and
brand it as a palliation of treachery
and bad faith. We speak only of his
manliness and unsurpassed courage.
The desperation with which the Indians
fought, is not only t.uiiy wonderful, but
they excite our strongest sympathy and
unfeigned admiration. Well might wo
exclaim in nearly the same language of
the poet:
Tribe of the wandering foot and weary
breast,.
Where shall..vc flee away and be at rest?
The wild,dove hath her nest, the fox his
cave;,
Mankind tueir homes, the Indian but
the grave.
TRIBUTE TO A MOTHER.
Children, look in those eyes, listen to
that dear voice; notice the feeling of
even a single touch that is bestowed
upon you by a gentle hand! Make
much of it while yet you have that most
precious of all good gilts, a loving
mother. Head the unfauthomable love
of those eves; the kind anxiety of that
tone and look, however slight your pain.
In after life you may have friends, fond,
dear, kin I friends; but never will you
have again the inexpressible love and
gentleness lavished upon you which no.
one but a mother bestows! Oftcu do I
sigh in my struggle with the cold world,
for the sweet deep security l felt when,
of an evening, nesting in her bosom, I
listened to some quiet tale, suitable to
my age, read In her tender and untiring
voice. Never can I forget her sweet
glances cast upon me when 1 appeared
asleep, uevor her kiss of peace at night.
Vears have passed away since we' laid
tier beside my father in the old church
yard ; yet still her voice whispers from
the grave, and her ey’es watch over me
as 1 visit spots lbiig since hallowed to'
tie memory of tny mother.— Lori Mo
