Wlint ts A Darling T
A Imly requested -‘Brick” .Pomcroy’a
definition of what is a darling ? How hand
' sornely ‘‘Bride” has responded, the truth*
J fulness of the exquisite pen picture which
/ follow will attest:
If our definition will please any one or
settle a point in dispute, it ia Riven cheer
fuliy: A darling, as wc should speak the
word, would mean a very dear, good heart
loved girl or woman, who held the inner
most place in our heart. She wonld be a
woman loved above all else in the world—a
woman we should defend before all mankind
—a woman whose lips were those of truth
and tacredness, whose happiness a man
could live for—a woman a man could be
proud of—a woman you could put your arm
in gentleness around, draw to your heart,
press a kiss to her forehead,and one on her
lips, and as her head half rested on your
shoulder, look deep into her eyes and whis
per, Darling! She should be a woman in
whom we had all the confidence in the world,
one a man would ho proud to make happy,
and whose pride would be in her husband’s
success, happiness, reputation, her own
good name, her person, her friends, her
house, t:n 1 the purity of her heart. ‘ Dar
ling’ means everything, words unspoken,
caresses ripening for love to feed on, vol
umes unwritten; kind action waiting op
portunity; hopes unexpressed; faith untold
for want of su -able word , It is the flower
which beautifies the tree that bears the most
delicious fruit in seasons. The word is a
volume. It means more than one can ex
press ; the clasping of the spirit hands of
in heart-worship of the true and good; the
word rainbow which spans the sky of hope
and life; the bursting of the bud of the
rno-t beautiful flower which sheds a perfume
over the hearts ot those who love.
We l ave answered our correspondent
hastily, r.ot fully, for the word is a text for
: n endless sermon,and should only apply
to a sweetheart, wife, the little darlings
which are dear to you because children of
the first darling. It is a different word, a
longer- word, a more meaning word than
Pet, though often used in its place.
Is RetjgioN Beautiful?— Always!
In the chlid, the maiden, the wife, the
mother, religion shines with a holy benig
nant beauty of its own, wh : ch nothing on
earth can mar. Never yet was the female
character perfect without the steady faith,
piety. Beauty, intellect, wealth ! they are
like pitfalls, dark on the brightest day, un
less religion throws her soft beams around
them to purify and exalt, making twice
glorious that which seemed all loneliness be
fore.
Religion is very beautiful, in health or
sickness, in wealth or in poverty. We can
never enter the sick chamber of the good,
but the soft music seems to float on the air,
and the burden of their song is, ‘Lo ! peace
is here !
Could we look into thousands of families
to-day, when discontent fights sullenly with
life we should find the chief cause of un
happiness, want of religion in womann.
O, religion! benignant majesty, high on
thy throne thou sittest, glorious and exal
ted. Not above.the clouds, for earth clouds
come never between thee and tlie truly pi
ous souls ! nor beneath the clouds for above
these is heaven, opening through a broad
vista of exceeding beauty.
Is religion beautiful? \\ T o answer all is
desolation and deformity where religion is
not.
A Death Struggle Witii a Bear.—
A terrific encounter between an Indian and
a bear occurred a few days ago up in the
vicinity of Tomah, Wisconsin Both the
combatants were found a day or two since
in the silent embrace of death, and there
is probably no living witness to give a de
scription of the horrible scene. The bear
had been shot in some vital part by the In
dian, and the latter, when found had his
skull crushed as if by a powerful blow.
The presumption is, either that it was a
close encounter, the shot and the blow foll
owing in quick succession—or the Indian,
having shot the bear, then approached it in
its death struggles, and received the blow
which terminated his existence.
E2F” Fred Douglass says that “he stands
forth just as God made him.” We beg
Fred’s most bumble pardon, but God never
made him. God made white men and ne
groes, but lie never made mulattoee. They
are the origin of men’s sins and crimes—
and so distasteful their existence to the be
neficent Creator of everything good that He
dooms them to extinction. God will not
even permit these nondescript beings to ex
ist peimanentlv on bis footstool, hut i the
third or fourth generation punishes them
with annihilation,—[Lynchburg Republi
can.
The Right Kind. —“What sort of a
sermon do you like ?” asked Dr. Rush of
Robert. Morris, one day. “I like, sir,” re
plied Mr. Morris, “that kind of preaching
which drives a man into the corner of his
pew. and makes him think the devil is' af
ter him.”
Exit of Negroes from Georgia.— A
dispatch from Augusta says :
Large numbers of freedmen continue
leaving the State for the Mississippi Valley,
induced by offers of higher wages and by a
desire for change, although labor it in de
mand here.
gjgU convict who was about to be sent
to a house of correction, was told that they
would set him to pick oakum.
