Oh, come who will; though slave to sin, Aud bowed his heavy yoke beneath ; Though almost quenched, the light within; Haste from the thrall whose end is death ! Thy needs are great; but Love that pleads For thee, is greater than thy need*. Oh, come who will! nor ask the priee Ol what God’s gooduess doth impart; But pray to Him, thy saciifiee — A broken and a contrite heart— Aud henceforth shall thy spirit know His Love’s divmest ovctlow. Freedom of flic Press. Around her wuist I put my arm— It felt as solt as cake; “Oh, dear,” says she, “whai liberty You printer men do take ?” “Why, yes, my Sal, my charmiug gal, (I squeezed her some, I guess,) Can you say aught against The freedom oi the Press?” I kissed her some —I did, by gum ; She colored like a beet; Upou my living soul she looked Almost too good to eat. A gave another buss, and then Saya she, “I do confess I rather kinder sorter like Tbe freedom of the Press!” . For the Dawson “Journal.” ST. ELBO W . A TRUE STORY. BY W. HENDERSON CLACKSTON, CIIAPTEa IV. Two months previous to the events related in the last chapter, Col. and Madam St Elbow, their two youDger children and a visitor, were grouped to gether in one of the many viue-embow ered summer-homes near the mansion. “I am an Abelard, sir—an Abelard, and your daughter, iny Hclorse. Con stancy 1 that’s the word, sir—tho pivot of my fate, tbe vital blood of my soul. Love that plcbiaa ! Ob, no, sir, she mistakes her own heart, and he, the ruf fian ! the barbarian monster ! to aspire to the hand of such a queen—yes, sir, a quccD, reigning over beauty and female excellence, and swaying tbe sceptro ol universal empire, sir. He deserves to be chastised, like a spaniel, for his effront ery.” “A*, any rate,” observed Col. Eldora do, “she is our daughter, Mr Couib.— Parental authority shall put a boundary to her actions, if it cannot control her wayward fancies.” “Anciently, sir, the Greeks, Gauls and Persians authorized parents to ex ercise absolute dominion over the lives and actions of their children, sir, and the Romans, until the reign of Adrian, were but little, less ligorous in their en actments on that subject, if we may credit the authority, sir, of the illustri ous Byukershoeck. Rut modern refine ment, sir—that’s the word, sir—modern refinement has narrowed the sphere, sir, happily nariowed tbo sphere of pa rental authority, and disobedient chil dren are indebted now for whatever clemency they receive to parental in dulgence and the benignity of the law.-. But your daughter, s : r, perfection jos tled from its orbit; beauty vailed, sir— vailed iu occultation —splendor behind a drifting cloud. Year daughter, sir, needs only the temporising influence of weeks, and the chastening effects of heal ing counsels. There is between her and me, sir, that congeniality which must effectuate a blending. Our characters possess a oneness—that is it, sir—a one ness.” “Capt. Sloan,” observed Illibilika, “is considered, father, a youDg gentleman of promise in bis profession. He has been practicing law but four years, and is said to be grappling successfully with the veterans and accumulating property rapidly. He is reported to be a gentleman of fine character, unexcept ionable habits and quit.) prominent in church and Sabbath sihool exerc : ses.’’ “A gentleman of fioe character !” sneeringly replied Mrs. Stellarita. “Born jn poverty, raised amoDg the eoarse gross herd, the smell of indigence not yet off his garments, a serp, a thing that hauled wood for the money that paid his college expenses— how dare the impious wretch to plaoe his foot upon the threshold of my baronial mansion. Gentleman! Illibilika, use that word no more.” “If no other measures will briog Stel la to a sense of duty,” remarked Col. Eldorado, “A will make my house a con vent, and forbid her all communication with even the members of my own fami ly, until she gels the better of this fool ish dream.” “Ob, no, Col., be not so harsh,” said Mr. Comb, while delight at the sugges. tion made, was transparent on his fuoo. “Perhaps, sir, this military prodigy, this miniature Montccuceulii will perish, while plucking tbe laurels of his St. Go thard—ye*, perish, sir. I believe in discipline, though. Gjld is refined in the crucible, but for your lovely daugh ter ” “Your generosity,” ob'orved Cornu oopioos, “would ask what atom parental duty must refuse. Father, give her one month to relent. Forbid Illibilika tbe expression of any sympathy. Argu ment, counsel, admonition, and threats exhausted, at the end of that peiiud, let the convent do its work, the home pris on ” ‘•Bread and water, sir, and closo con finement, Cul., without the use of books or the privilege of social intercourse, sir, are sometimes thought tho safest re storative in cases like this, but I would fein plead for more leniency towards my peerless and adorable Stella.” “Your generosity,” replied tbe Col., “does honor to human nature, my dear Mr. Comb ; but duty—the results of which may reach beyond the boundary of time—duty I will discharge.” Much more passed in this conversa tion. but tbe dream was too eoufused to be transcribed, owing to tho fact that the mind was just then changing its venue. On the night of that samo day (20(h of July, 1861) an officer of the South ern army lay in his blanket on the ground, a mile in rear of the Henry House. He was buried in thought. “ T-omorrow is Sabbath ; bow changed ! instead of the peaceable peal of the Sab bath school boll aud the bright faces of happy childhood, the hour of eight will be heialdid, perhaps, by the roar of caDOon and the marshalling ol hosts for tho deadly conflict. As I gaze upon those stars which, far back in tho dim twilight of memory, shuno where they shiDO to-night, I read iu that starry book of heavec that cbaDge reaches net tho hallowed precincts of the upper world, that light, fixed and eternal, ra diates forever there, and (hat justice, mercy and diviue love beam alway en this “Birren bait, Hourly blackened by impending et< mis.” I have struggled through the Digbt of poverty ; morning had broke upon me, aud the day was brightening, but I trust I am prepared to give up all and life itself, if necessary, without a mur mur. My dear mother will have enough to live on frugally, uud she, the victim, bride es Cox Comb, whose Juind will wed the monster she abhors —she will doubtless feel relieved if l meet the s.n dier’s fate—for her and my mother, be my last breath spent invoking blessings. Memories of the past—refreshing dews upon a sultry soui—bow you come up on me at this hour. Sweet is the mom ory oft» mother’s love, and the pride she manifested at the manner in which I buffeted opposition. Sweet aro the memories of the moments I passed with Stella—moments dedicated to a love the purest heart could know. Sweet arc tbe memories of tho times when, in the lnncocucy of childhood, I have lain for hours, (as I lie to-night) giving iudi 'v duality to tho phantom clouds that floated above mo, but tbo dearest aud most comforting recollection of all my life /«, that I have kept my conscience aud discharged the duties which I felt devolved upon me.” Ho lay silcutly, thoughtfully; he slept. In tbe pine thicket a half mile »n front of the Henry House, on the next day, Capt. Sloan was shot down, while rallying his btave comrades for anothir onset. A soldier lingered near him un til driven back by the surging tide of battle, and then, relieved from duty tem porarily, penned a hasty note which was sent by a returning wouuded soldier who left tho field e’er yet the fortunes of the day were.decided. The wound was serious, bat, coutrary to all expecta tion, did not result fatally. He was taken to a private house where bis personal charms, bis merit, his in teresting conversation and manners made him an object of special care to the fam ily. He bore his pains, long, torturing pains, with the silent, uncomplaining fortitude of a true hero Among those who visited him ofteo, was a Miss Lucy Pomeroy. Naturally playful and rolicking, she possessed, not withstanding, the deep sympathy, the tender, pure and loving qualities pecu liar to her sex. Bbo had enjoyed the advantages of education and cultivated society, but seorned tbe restraints of ‘Straight-jacket Fashion,” ( as she termed it) and mangled inaDy a Lmg metro faoe with grim and uuwonted laughter. A sanctimonious, pharisaica* Chaplain, who boarded there at the time was not unfrequently her grunting and unappreoiativo victim. She was at din ner with the parson when ho took his farewell meal. He had sponged and sponged, until anything but tho Chris tian patience of a pious family would have become exhaustod ; aud now his largo, hungry-looking oilcloth haversack must be tilled. “Sister Jones, will yon make the chil dren cat some of that ham, and let me have the breast of this tuikey to oarry with mo ?” “Ob, yes, brother Snow. Children, quit eating the turkey and leave it for your Uncle Snow.” “Sister Jones, will it be any trouble at all for you to givo me about one fourth of that pono of light-bread you have cooked for your son iu tho army ?■’ “Not at all, broihor Snow ; I can send him more by the next couvcyanoo.” Thus from one thing to another, ex actions and concessions continued, un til the haversack resembled Jonah— looked as though it had swallowed a whale—and now it is hung up, until tbe good brother can step in aud have prayer with the Captain. Lucy, not feeling specially devotional, did not attend the exercises, but, rakiug together and wrapping up a bundle of chips, cobs, pieces of brickbats, &3., iu a bundle of tho dimensions, she extracted the edibles from the haver sack, and, fiutt.ii g her cjmmodilics in their stoad, buckled down the straps, and when bro'bcr Snow came out. behaved fir all this w trld as if she was ready to weep at his departure. A b'y ha l been stopped from bis work to carry tbe blankets, valiso and other trumpery to tbe wagoa, and now t he solernu moment of parting came. Long and feel.tigly she cluug to his hand; s.dly, sorrowfully she looked up into his eyes. “You must not furget us, Mr. Snow, you must she could apparently say no more. “Heaven bless you, my child,” and Lis clerical Majesty, seated on a wagon, with a mountain of counterfeit commis saries hanging to his side, soon jilted out of sight. Lacy sat down on tbo fl ior, about two hours afterwards, aDd, acting tbo part of a matronly hto, clucked togeth er tbe littiu brood of human chicks, and had a royal feast. [TO lit:; CONTINUED J Tiic *ew York Tribune and the Stale Fair. Tbe editor of tbe New Yuilf Tribune who among many other distinguished Northern aud Western m u has been specially iuvited to atteod the Slate Fair in Goorgia, responds thus kindly to the invitation in his paper of the loth instant: It is very cheerful to read that a State Agricultural Fair, on a large scale ( is Lo be held in Macon, Ga., in Novem ber next. Vaiieus great men are to be invited, including tho President and “4bc principal geneva's of the late con tending armies.” Os course this leads, in tbe circular of iuvitatioo, to much poetic talk about 6peais and swords,' ru uing-books and plowshares. But the solid faet is better than the sentiment. Georgia needs nothing but rational ag riculture and a practical recognition of tbe fact that the laborer i« worthy of bis hire, to become one of tbe greatest ag ricultural states in the republic. God speed tho State Agricultural Society upou the sensible way which it propos es to follow. Fewws «n the Fingbr.— Many per sons tire liable to extreme Buffering from feiooe on the finger. These af flictions are not ouly very painful, but not unfrequently occasion permanent crippling o# tho member affected. The following simple concoction is recom mended as a cure for the distressing ailment. Takeeorniuon took salt, such as is used for salting down pork and beef, dry it in an oven, then pound it fiiib and mis it with spirits of turpen tine m equal parts.

One who complains that tbe watering place hotel where he stops, turuishes “leathery” meat, is comforted by being told that it is “bully.” The Revolution wants females on the police, bat we fear this would augment j the “won’t go homo till moruiDg” fel- I lows, to an alarming degree.

IV.--MO. 31. I Tiitit; for .Hatrimony. i AmoDg the ancient Germans, than , whom a liuer reoo never existed, it was death for any woman to marry before she was twen'y years old. By the laws of Lvcijrous, the most special attention was paid to tho physical education, and bo delioato cr sickly women were, on any account, allowed to marry. , Dr. Joun.-ON, in his work of “Economy of Health,” says that matrimony should' not bo contracted until the first year of the fourth septennial on the part of tho lady, nor before the last year of tho same in the caso of the gentleman. In other words, the female should be aC least twenty-one years of age, and tho male twenty-eight years. Tho Doctor says there should be a difference of sev en years between the sexes, at whatever period of life the omnection is contrast ed. Thero is a difference of seven years, uot in the actual duration of life in the two sexes, but in the stamina of tho constitution, the symmetry of the form and lineaments of the face. In respeet to early marriage, so far as it concerns the softer sex, for every year at which, marriage is entered upon before the ago of twenty-one, there will be, on an aver age, three years of premature decay, more or less apparent, ts tho corporal fabric. Is Kissing Im in oral t A Reverend Mr. Linn has just been tried at l’ittsburg for alleged immoral conduct. The prosecution failed to bus- the grave charges which tvero mado against him, but they did prove that ho was very fond of kissiDg ladies who were young and pretty. There was somo evidenc ■ teudiug to show that he tore tho dress of a young l»dy in bis efforts to kiss her. It was not conclusive, how ever, as counter testimony was adduced, to show that the fair damsel fled faster auu further than was necessary, and that a nail was tho cause of the rent in her garment, Mr. Linn was only found guilty of being “indiscreet iu_kissinj» one or two young ladies.” The decision in this ease has opened up anew field for debate. Is kissing immoral ? That is the question. A Printer’s ComiuiiiKinutulN. Thou (especially the ladies)sbalt lova •he printer, for ho loveth you iriuebly. Thou shalt subscribe for his paper, for it is abomination in his sight to see those “.-punged” upon who taketh. If thou art a business man, thou should advertise, in order that thou mayest nob only be enabled to pay for tby paper but that thou may put mouey in thy purse. Thou should uot visit him regardless of his otiiio rules—in deranging the paper. 4 hou shalt net touch anything that would givo him trouble—that ho may uot hold thee guilty. Thou shalt not read tbo news before it is printed, for he will give it to you iu due time. Thou shalt a.-k Lira few questions of the ass urs of the office. 'Thou shalt not, at any time, send abu ive and ihroateuing letters to tho editor; neither shalt thou cowhide him more than four times a year.
