l [For The Huuny South.] HE COMES NOT. BY 8. R. JONES. He cornea not—ah! be cornea not,— Ob, why does he delay? I re waited many a weary night And many a weary day; And yet he cornea not. Ia he dead ? O God, my heart will break; I pray no harm may happen him, For hia unborn baby’s Bake. He comes not—ah ! he cornea not,— It was not always so, For once he lingered by my side And soothed my fancied woe; Hut now he stays away from me. Nor proffers to protect: 0 God, how hard it ia to bear A husband's cold neglect! He comes not—ah! he cornea not,— But I adore him yet, And when he comes, ni7 every wrong Will instantly forget. Dearer to me than life is he, And all that life can give, And it is harder far than death Without hia love to live. He comes not—ah! he comes not,— He has been seldom here Since first he fondly called me wife And made my life so dear. And when he comes, he’s cold, unkind, From eve till early morn: O God, how harder far than all To feel a husband s scorn! He comes not—ah! he comes not! It surely cannot be, When thou art born, my baby dear. He’ll think so slight of me; At least he’ll come to see his child Once every little while. Kate Armour had disdained to carry the tini est parcel. They had come to a spot in the road where a grateful shade fell from some large elms, and there they sat down to eat and drink. Tom was in his best humor for some reason, and made a joke at which his wife laughed. On that, flat tered by her appreciation, he told her that “ any way her teeth were like pearls.” Praise is sweet to a woman, and she had heard no compliments for a long time, and she smiled at him again. “I’d grow good looking again, if we had bet ter times," said she; “and there's mother with a box full of money, and no one to spend it on.” TEM PERANCE. UNCLE DABNEY AND THE FROGS Exact dates are not material, and old people sometimes forget; but I think it was about the year 1817 that “Uncle Dabney ” taught his first school, at the mouth of Cloud’s Creek, in Ogle thorpe county, and I was one of his pupils. I was called a “bad boy,” but he always forgave me when I did wrong, “because I alirays knew my lessons.” He generally kept a long hickory switch near him, as a terror to evil-doers, though I never knew him to use it but on one occasion, when Mose W—, contrary to his orders, brought Gloucester and Bristol, who made two speeches, according to the report made two somewhat con tradictory propositions. He was not a total ab stainer; he was also sure it was hopeless to re claim the drunkard except by total abstinance. “ He was himself trying to do without it. He had been gradually reducing the quantity of al cohol he had allowed himself to take, and not having found the slightest inconvenience from the reduction, he was physically encouraged to go on.” Sir Harcourt Johnston was able to report that his head was clearer, his intelligence nndimin- ished, and his capacity for work greatly increased. The Archbishop of Canterbury remembered that TEACHERS’ DEPARTMENT. BY A CORPS OP K.tHSEXT TEACHERS.

Then he finished his bread and cheese and arose. “I’ll go back to the tavern and get a drink of beer,” he said. “You sit here—you and the child.” Then he stooped down and pinched the boy’s cheek. Not for months had her Orson been so charming. Kate was really comforted. we erected a large stage and bush arbor, which was also used as a school-room during the sum mer evenings. Underneath the stage, owing to its dampness, a large number of frogs would congregate. I had procured a long, black pop lar root, resembling a black snake. YVith a gim let I bored a hole where its eyes should he, and inserted two glass beads of resin for the same. The root being large where it was broken off, I also improvised a mouth, inserting a piece of tin painted red for the tongue. So, in the evening, while our teacher was “setting copies,” I began to amuse my6elf by “snaking the frogs,” and zeal, tempered by its discretion, had resulted in the production of that great and important move ment which had brought them together. Shortly after this great series of meetings this Church of England Temperance Society sent to to be disturbed by the advocacy of any special subjects of study. In this discussion, we design in no manner to under-estimate the value of classical culture. It is not, then, to the seeming antagonism between the permanent and pro gressive studies into which the subjects of edu cation may be divided that we invite your atten tion: for in fact the antagonism is only seeming, one character of education being but the supple ment of the other; but we propose to present the Queen a request that she become its patron, j before you some thoughts in reference to the es- To this Queen Victoria replied; i pecial claims which the physical sciences have “Her Majesty has already expressed her opin- j as subjects of educative value, ion in favor of the objects which the Society de- What, then, constitutes an education?

At the stroke of twelve, one night, when there was no moon, the door of a large and handsome house, in a pleasant country place, was opened softly, and a girl crept out and looked anxiously about her. She was a pretty young creature, with a soft, foolish sort of face, and she had an air about her that told of good living, and free dom from all care as to ways and means. Her dress was a handsome one, suitable for traveling, und in her hand she curried a leather ba 8- . . , Closing the door softly behind her, she hur ried softly down the garden path, and at the gate found her hand clasped by the strong hand of a man—a handsome, tall fellow, though even in that light one could see he was not a refined person. Indeed, the man was her mother’s own hired servant, with whom she was about to elope. To say why she had been so foolish as to take a fancy for him — to explain the feelingB that induced her, young, beautiful and educated, the daughter of a wealthy woman, with a good posi tion in society —to fall in love with a fellow who had nothing but a certain amount of coarse good-looks to recommend him, would be to suc ceed where all of the wisest men in the world have failed thus far. Who has ever been able to give the reasons for a woman’s infatuation for her lover? Indeed, she has none. and the old house where she was born, in strangely vivid dream. Her mother sat and looked at her in the loving way, and on her lap lay a little dog that had been a great pet of hers in that sweet long ago. The tiny creature began to whine. “Lie still,” she said; “lie still. What ails you, Pinky?” But Pinky whined louder. “ What can trouble him?” she said again. And then she was broad awake, and it was not her little dog that wailed in her arm, but her child—Seotcher’s baby—and the sun was sink ing, and she was alone. Tom was doubtless very tipsy on the tavern steps by this time, she thought. Yet it was not his habit to neglect business, and he had said it was needful to reach their place of destination by dark, that he might present himself to his employer in the morning. Impatiently she wnited. But the moon had arisen, and still he did not come. All that she could do was to turn back and seek him at the tavern. She had no money—no food. Such as he was he was her husband, and in a sort, her protector. She arose, took up the bundle and the baby, and trudged back to the tavern. Scotch- er was not there. A man dressed as she had de scribed him drunk there about noon, but had gone the other way. And now Kate began to understand that he called on me to come up, which I did by jump ing on the platform, falling and hurting myself, and trying to cry. Calling me before him, with the hickory in his hand, he said: “John, did you hurt yourself?” I replied in the affirmative. “Now,” 6aid he, “is it not bad to be hurt again?” I said it was. “There is one condition,” he continued, “on which you can get clear of a flogging, - that you go under the stage and run the last frog out. ’ I told him I would comply, when he ordered f° read these paragraphs and then say if I all the school down, and they surrounded the am n °t right in longing for one of those all stage, “Uncle Dabnev” getting down himself. ! conquering temperance revivals which “Uncle Seizing my snake bv the tail and “wobbling” !

As it lies it at the “plagues of Egypt,” they commenced directly in my line I will say that of all these seeking more light; and as they emerged from English advocates of temperance, in my bumble their dark covering, merry shouts of laughter rang out on the air, the teacher leading. I ran a bevy of them to “Uncle Dabney,” but this time poked my snake too much in the light; and he, mistaking it for a real snake, turned and fell down, jumping on his “all fours” to get away. Running up, I pushed my serpent between his legs, and believing, from a side view, that the snake had caught up with him, he called on the school: ‘Boys, kill—I say—kill—him ! Don’t let him themselves.

The wants of the society are not those of the individual. The principle is comprehensive, “unity for Ike individual, variety for the State. ” From this principle arises the de mand for classical as well as scientific educa tion. In former years, where one person de manded a scientific education, ten required classical culture. In later years, this dispropor tion is being somewhat diminished. Science-education is a necessity, not a luxury. Especially is this true of society in the Southern States, existing as it does in an abnormal condi tion with all its potential energies, the accnmu- Often in the years that blot her folly out, she : * be , m ba f n « at 1 ti “ eS '7°ui Ce in a P oor asks herself: “ Why did I love that man?” and ! “ an « garret, with his little children, once in J 1 "'A k’ 1 " At last, the white spire of the finds no answer. A man can generally say, “She is pretty,” in the same case it does not need even that to make a woman an idiot. And so I cannot tell you why Kate Armour left her happy home, her mother, who loved her, her friends and all her luxuries, for the kisses and praises of that boor of a groom, who had no honest worth to compensate for his lack of education and manners. Go she did, however, and the two were mar ried in the nearest town. Tom Scotcher having no doubt whatever that Mrs. Armour would re lent when she heard that her girl was really married, and that he should lie down in clover for the rest of his days. He reckoned without his host, however. The mother replied to her daughter’s first letter by forbidding her ever to write again. When the answer came the groom was very angry. However, he was in love, in his coarse fashion, just then, and after sulking an hour or two, he turned to his wife and said: “ Well, you’re ns handsome as a picture, any wav —and hang the woman !” Then he took her by both arms, holding her so tightly that he left the marks of his fingers upon them, and kissed her on the neck. A fierce, hot kiss, from which she shrank with a little scream, crying; “Tom, you bit me!” So he had. At least, it was a sort of bite. She did not know what to make of it. Afterward she learnt. It was the first lesson he had dared to give her in the difference between the love of a brute and the love of a gentleman. And it was not long before she learut that a passion utterly without sentiment, falls like a curse upon any woman’s life. Tom had no sentiment. Y’et, for a while, her fresh beauty charmed him, and it was better with them than it was afterwards; for, while it lasted, he behaved decently. He found work suited for him, and did it He spared her what he could, as he said, “for finery,” and, she, though she began to under stand the difference between being Miss Armour and Mrs. Tom Scotcher. clung to him as long as he yet told her she was “the prettiest girl any where.’ For a year she was often uncomfortable and very remorseful when she thought of her mother, but she was still blind enough to be happy at times. Then a little baby lay on her bosom, and she was very delicate and began to fade a little, and then ’fom came home tipsy once or twice, and she could not tell which were worse, his liquor-flavored kisses or her curses. And then—disenchantment having begun on both sides—a red-cheeked girl, chambermaid at a low tavern, made her jealous. Jealous of Tom Scotcher ! And reproaching him with it, and he had a , , , , , , - . . • , ., : bite your teacher!’ had abandoned her.

Oh ! ; sa j,j. “John, are there any frogs left under there? This is a real frog fooler." I told him there were; so under he went, and soon the frogs began to come out “fast and furi ous,” while renewed shouts went up from the school. Now, the Rev. A. G. S , one of the trustees, and of sedate countenance, chancing to pass by at this juncture, imagined, from the noise, that we were trying to turn “ Uncle Dabney” out. Galloping up, he commanded us to stop, as brother Jones should not be turned out of school. Explanations soon followed, and the whole scene was so ludicrous that an involun tary wave commenced at the divine’s mouth and never halted until it reached his ears. assuredly her mother would relent and take her home. She returned to the tavern, and asked the way to Grapemore. It was nearer than she thought- only fifteen miles away. Towards it she set her face. Slowly and painfully she toiled on, beg ging her bread as she went. an old lime kiln, church where she had been baptized arose from the green distance of tree-encircled Grapemore. Then she saw an old red barn with which she was familiar, and its farm-house, and a group of hay-making people. The last farm on the road to Grapemere, and new hope gave her strength. She would not lag until she met her mother. She washed her own face and that of her child in a little pond. She shook some of the dust from her clothes, and walked on more slowly, coming at last into the trim street, with its houses half hidden in their fine gardens, in which stood her mother’s dwelHng-place. Yes, she must be forgotten—she must, she would. But what was this? Usually the street was so judgment, the man most like unto the good and useful and enthusiastic “Uncle Dabney,” was the gentleman who shocked the nervous arch bishop by presenting him at Rugby “a bud get of the greatest rubbish of teetotaler’s songs and hymns.” Believing as I do with the old Grecian Epaminondas that “it is the man that makes the office and not the office the man,” I pronounce this humble gentleman greater than the archbishop and greater than the queen who I lations of generations, destroyed by devastating is the patron of the archbishop’s society.

With heart beating wildly, Kate clutched the arm of a poor woman who was near. “YYhat is the matter?” she asked. “ Why, it is a murder,” said the woman, shiv ering as she spoke. “You’re a stranger, ain't you ? You don’t know old Mrs. Armour. She was killed last night for her money. Seems she kept a considerable sum under her bed in a chest. She’s been slain with a hatchet.” “ Oh, my God !” screamed Kate, “ who did it?” “Well,” said the woman, “they say a man that used to work for her, and ran off with her form—one that will cleanse the high places and purify the white house as well as the cabin.
