Bloomsham, Jan,8l,'titf BLOOMSBURG, PA., Written for Tin Columbian. Freedom of Consolonoo. Tho right to worsh lp, God has given, And to this duty binds tho soul, Consistent Is tho rulo of Hoaven, And, therefore, claims supreme control. Wo owo to Him supremo devotion, 'Look unto mo," Is tho command, "Aud worship with sincere emotion" But docs not nny form demand. Then why should man oppress his brother When God has loft tho conscience free? Why should ono persocuto another. And tako away his liberty Why say "stand off, keep at a dlstanc o, For 1 am holler than thou?" Why oner to Ills tilth rcslstanco, Because to yours ho cannot bo w? Vain runn, why do you Judgo your brother s Has ho not rights as well as you j Why will you still his consclenco bother? And yet no bettor lite can show. God inado him, hnvo wo not ono Father? If Ho Is pleased to own Ills son, Why not submit and own hlra rather Christ's crvant.tthough u weaker one? Wo cannot always sco together. Though both bo looking in the light, It may bo, sometimes, that we neither Juclgo truly of the wrong and right. Let Charily to all be given, And let this rulo to all belong. Tho faith that leads ns on to Heaven, Thni faith, 'tis certain, can't bo wrong. Stillwater, Tho Parting. 11V OKOUOE D. PRENTICE. Tho signal from tho distant strand Streams o'er tho waters bluo It bids me press thy parting hand, And breatho my last adieu ; But oft on Fancy'Sjglowlng wing My heart will lovo to stray, And still to thco with rapture spring Though I am fir away. With thco I've waudeicd oil to hear, Ou Summer's quiet oves, Tho wild bird's music, soft and clear, Borno through tho whispering loaves; Or see tho moon's Lrlght shadow laid Upon tho wavclcss bay, Those eves their memory cannot fade, Though I am far away. My llfo may fee l Hope's withering blight, Y'et fancy's learfulcyo Will turn to tlie-o-tho dearest light In retrospection's sky; And still tho memory of our love, Willi o llfo was young nnd gay, . Will sweotly o'er my spirit move, Though I am far away. 'TIs hard, when Spring's first flower expands, To pass It coldly by, Or seo upon tho desert sands Tho gem unheeded lie; Thogcutlo thoughts that bless tho hours Of lovo can no'cr decay. And thou wilt livo in memory's bowers, Though I am fur away. The Sun has sunk, with fading gleam, Down evening's shadowy vale, But sec his soltcncd glories stream From yonder crescent pale; And tbusairectlonschostcned light Will memory still display, To gild tho gloom of sonow's night, Though I am far nwny. dftisfcllnncous. LANGUAGE OF FLO WEES. "Gather a wreath from the garden-bowers And tell tho wish of thy heart In flowers." Flowers, from tho earliest ages, have boen as sociated with the ten der sentiments of the heart and thus have often been the means of telling tho tolo which w ords daro not speak. They too liavo been n source of poetic Inspiration, and poesy of nil ages has found Images of Joy nnd beauty "In tho bright consummate flower." "Flowers aro the hrlghtost things which earth On her broad bosom loves to cherish ; Gay they appear ns children's mirth, Llko fading dreams of hopo they perish. By them tho lovor tells his tale ; They can his hopes, his fears express ; Tho maid, when looks or words woultl fall. Can thus a kind return confess. Then la3y, let the wreath we bring For thee a wreath of beauty twine, And as tho blossoms deck the spring, So every tender wish bo thine." FLOWERS. SENTIMENTS. Acacia Concealed love.

Wo dropped In casually ono afternoon, and Billy want ed to know If wo had a pass. Ho couldn't get accustomed to his now po sition. Ho pined to bo again on tho road. Ono day ho begged tho boys to put him through a collision, which thoy did to his ontlro gratification. Thoy toro hls'clothcs noarly off, black ened his eyes, broko a kcrosono lamp over his head,and piled a red-hot stovo on top of hlru. Billy was In anecatacy of delight, and declared hohadn't enjoyod himself so much since ho had a bllo. jO. aood Ono for Smokers. An nged negrcM, whoso Imminent piety litis secured for her an extensivo reputation, In walking her usual rounds of visits, dropped In upon a neighbor who was equally well known as a tern pornuco man and a hater of tobacco. After being courteously received, tho ncgress pulled from her pocket a long pipe, and commenced smoking some very "Union" tobacco, to tho Infinite disgust of her host. Tho man main tained his ccmposuro sovornl minutes, but tho fumes and smoko becamo too powerful for him, and rising from his chair ho said : "Aunt Chloe, do you think you aro a Christian?" "Ycj, bruddor, I specks I Is." "Do you bellevo In tho Blblo, aunty ?" "Yes bruddor." "Do you know tiicro is a passngo in tho Scriptures which declares that noth ing unclean shall Inherit tho kingdom oi neavcii v" "Yes, I've- heerdoflt.' "Do you beliovoit?" "Yes." "Well, Chloo, you can not enter tho kingdom of heaven. Because tliero is nothing so unclean as tho breath of a smoker. What do you say to that?" "Why I specks to leavo my brelT be hind mo when I go to heaven." Orcat Snako Hunt in Ohio. On tho 10th ult., at Big Island town ship, lu Marlon county, on tho farm of Aloxaiuler Campbell,n great snako hunt occurred. Tho party was headed by Capt. Jackson Brady, who led his gal lant company down into tho tail prairio grass, and surrounding atwenty-acro lot, set flro to tho outer edgo of tho grassnbout4 p. m. Tho grass burned well, the flames rolling up ten feet high, and as tho fire advanced tho snakes re treated to tho centre, sometimes mak ing desperate efforts to spring through tho flames, but tho blazo being too heavy thoy wcro killed in tho attemnt. At C.45 p. m. tho ground was burued over, and Capt. Brady went over tho field of carnago and picked up tho debris of tho great army of snakes, and by act ual count, tliero was found to bo-13,983 Bnakcs of all sizes. Ono black racer was nino feet and four inches long and sev en Indus in circumference. This may be considered a good day's work for this neighborhood, as tho snakes had becomo so bad that smaU children wore afraid to go to school.and nicy oven attacued somo adults, soveral having been bitten on their boots, and it had becomo a common thing for flfty or a hundred snakes to chaso men, wo men, ana children across this prairio. Tho milk snakes wcro constantly milk ing tho cows, and thereby Interfering with tho dairy business in that section. Marion (Ohio) Mirror. Visit your Scholars. Tho following, from tho Sunday School Banner, is worthy tho attention of every Sunday school teacher in the land: "Thero is, perhaps, no part of tho teacher's duty so full of cheering pros pects as tho visitation of his scholars. Children will withhold their confidence ovon from the punctual aud zealous in structor, but thoy can not resist tho lovo and sympathy that seek them at their homes during tho week. Tho Instruc tions of the Sabbath may fall to soften their littlo rebellious hearts, but the kindness of a social ministering to their wants, or soothing tho hour of pain, is irresistible "A faithful teacher will record with anxiety, in her memorandum book, tho absonco of a scholar. If ono is absent her heart inquires, is tho littlo ono sick, or is no weary oi tho school? If noor. sho will bo.troubled lest lack ofcom fort- able clothing caused tho detention. Wo say, sho will anxiously inquiro in this way, n siio is faithful. What is her duty? Tho answer is evident, visit tho scholar on tho first opportunity. "Uiuidren Iovothoso who lovo them. Thoy readily distinguish between aifect- cd nnd real love. They can not bo do ccived by professions of lovoand interest In tlio classes, followed by IndilTerenco and neglect tho coming week.

"Absentees 6hould bo hunted dtirluir tho week; tho sick ones visited aud prayed with: poor children provided With necessary apparel, and now schol ars drawn into tho school. Tho teach- orawlio neglect to visit their classes omit a largo portion of their duty." A Slap on tho Xtoafcrs. Josh Billings answers it query that has often occurred to us, viz., "What wero you created for ?" in tho following paragraph. While overy lady and gen tleman would llko to bo rid of tho nn noyanco of bolngstarcd at, yet they can not uo cruel enough to wish to bo rJd of your Insolenco In tho way to which Josh alludes: "Tharo linlllt bin n linn- mmln vol In vain, nor ono that wants a good job.

Anna Cora Mo watt Rllchlo'a last London letter to tho Sau Francisco Chronicle "Wo trustour fair American sisters will not bo shocked by our unhesitating uso of tho word "leg," which they nro accustomed to designate as "limb," or "lower limb." In England nnd all over Europo that littlosubtorfuiro would bo pronounced Indelicate nnd affected j and it certainly is tho latter, if not tho lorraer. But to our story. Whllosvm metrical femlnlno legs nro said to bo disappearing from American soli, thoy nro so mticit in the ascendant in Entr, land that ladles of rank havo invented a now method of making known tliolr fair proportions. Wo read In the March number of tho Galaxy that In a work just published, two American medical men put forth tho gross slander that "a haudsomo leg Is n rarity wo had al most said an impossibility among American women I" Wo do not bo llovo tho ungallant llboi, though Amer ican ladies cortaluly aro not in tho habit of publishing their charms by having casts taken of their shapely legs, ns an ornament for drawing-room tables, or to bo sold for tho benefit of tho vendor of casts, or to bo circulated among lrienu.s as a Uellcuto token of friendship and valuable work of art. What wo aro about to relate appears, at tho flrst blush, so Incredible that wo hold our self responsible for its exact truth. Up on the drawing-room tablo of a lady of rank in London a lady of high posl lion nnu lrroproaciianio character may bo seen, beneath n glass case, a lovely dim pled littlo foot, delicate ankle, nnd rounded calf, up to the kneo Joint ; it is the east of tho leg of Lady , tho hostess. In Soho square thero Is a small rather humblc-looklng shop, In which you can purchaso, for flvo shillings, a cast of ono of tho most cxqulslto of legs ; tho original (in tho flesh) belongs to Lady do G and B , who went to this little shop Incog., and had her perfect leg moulded, and aftorwards generously gave tho shopman tho priv ilege of selling copies of tho cast, which he does daily, for it was quickly discov ered to whom tho bcautcousleg belong ed. Ono lady, tho wife of a mayor of a town in tho provinces, camo to Lon don and had two casts taken of her leg one nude, and ono with tho neat llltlo shoo, stocking, and garter. Straugo to say (though no artist will call It strange) tho leg with tho stocking and garter produced an effect much further remoV' cd from modesty than tho leg qulto un clad. Brucciani, tho cast-vender in Covcnt Garden, drives a brisk trado in casting ladies' legs, and has nny quan tity of models of all descriptions taken from life, and chiefly from nobio life, for snlo. How this leg mania originated wo havo not heard; but thero Is certainly somo explanation for this sudden pas sion among tho aristocratic fair to havo their legs recognized ; perhaps it Is only because "a thing of beauty Is a joy for ever." Tho Wrong Man Poulticed. Tho following story, which wo do not lemember to havo seen In print, may bo old, but it Is received as true: At a famous and fashionablo water ing place, a gentleman ono night was suddenly seized in bed with an ex cruciating pain in tho stomach, which, neither brandy, No. G, nor any other remedy could remove. His wlfo, after trying a number of things in vain, and having exhausted ail her stock of rem edies, left her husband's bed-sldo for tho purpose of getting a warm appli- cation. Guided on her return by n light which sho saw shining in n cham ber, and which sho supposed was tho ono Just left, sho softly entered.afid was not a littlo surprised to find her patient apparently In a deep slumber. How over thinking ho might still bo suffer ing, sho gently raised the bed-clothes, ic, and laid tho scalding pqultlco upon a stomach but not tho stomach of her husband which no sooner touched tho body of tho person thau he, gieatly alarmed, and writhing under tho tor luroof tho burning application, shout ed: "Hallo! hallo! what In tho namo ot heaven and earth aro you about there?" then, with ono spring from his bed, ho made for tho door aud rushing down stairs, declared in a frenzy of ex citement, that somo ono had poured a shovel of hot coals upon him. Tho woman, overcomo with oxcitcment and ahum gavo a frantic scream, which brought her husband hurriedly in from tho next room to her rescuo. Tho husband was so much excited, and also so much amused with tho sincular mistake and tho ridiculous position of ins ucttor half, that ho forgot all his pains ; but early next morning ho, his wlfo and trunks left for parts unknown. Tho poulticed gentlemau still retains tho handkcrchlef-a beautiful linen fa bric Willi tho lady's namo on it, which ho considers of raro value. A Fish Story. Wo met a boy on tho streets yesterday, and without tho coremony of asking our name, ho ex claimed: "You Just orter been down to tho river it whlloogo!" "Why?" wo ouqulred. "Recauso, a nigger was in tliero swimming, and nblg cat-flsh camo up behind him uud swallowed both of his feotaud went swimming along on top of tho water with him, and they camo up behind another big fish, nnd tho nigger swallowed his tall, and tho nigger and two flsh went swimming about!" "Well, then what?" wo asked. "Why. after a whllo tho nlggor swallowed his fish, and tho othor flsh swallowed tho nigger, and that's tho last I saw of either of them," "Sonny," said wo, with feelings of alarm for tho boy, "you aro In a fair way to becomo tho editor of a Radical paper," and wo left him, J-icchange.

Hints to Wearers of Kid Olovcs. It Is not generally known, or does not appear to bo known, even by thoso who wear khls almost exclusively, that tho durability and set of these ar ticles depend very much upon how thoy aro put on tho flrat time. Two pairs may bo, taken from ono box, of exactly tho snmo cut and quality, and by giving dlfforont treatment when flrst putting tho hnnds Into them, ono pair will bo modo to set much bettor, nnd to wear doublo, or nearly that length of time, longer than tho othor. When purchasing gloves, people nro usually In too much of a hurry, thoy carelessly put them on, and let them go In that way then, thinking to do tho work moro completely at anothor time. When this is tho case it person is sure to meet with disappointment, for as tho glove is mado to fit tho hand tho first timo it Is worn, so it will fit over after, and no amount of effort will mnko a satisfactory chango. Never allow a stretcher to bo used, for tho gloves will not bo likely to fit as well for it. All of tho expansion should bo mado by tho hands; If tho kids are so small as toroqulro tho aid of a stretcher, thoy should not be purchased, as they will provo too small for durability, comfort or beauty. When selecting gloves choose those with fingers to correspond with your own In length, tako timo to put them on, working in tho fingers first until ends meets endtthenrutin tho thumb, and smooth them down till they nro mado to flt nicely. A glovo that fits woll will usually wear well, at least will wear bettor than ono of tho samo kind that docs not fit well. When tho ends of tho Angers do not como down right, or when thoy aro so long as to form wrinkles upon the sides of tho fingers, thoy will chafo out easily; wherothe stretcher has to bo used to mako tho fingers lurgo enough, tho bo dy pait will bo so email as to cramp tho hand so that it cannot bo shut without bursting tho seams of tho kids. Somo recommend putting now kid gloves into a damp cloth before thoy aro put on, and allowing them to remain until moistened. With this treatment they can be put on much easier than otherwise, nnd will flt very nicely until they get dry, but on sec ond wearing tliero will bo an unnat ural harshness about them, .wrinkling in spots, and thoy will not sot so per fectly as at flrst.

Ho had provided himself with a ladder, a rope, n pistol, abundlo of matches, auda vial of poison. Ascending tho ladder, ho tied ono end of the ropo to the post, eet his clothes on flro, put tho muzzlo of tho pistol to his head, and kicked away tho ladder. In kicking -away tho lad der, ho sloped tho pistol so that tho ball missed his head and cut through tho ropo by whlc'i ho was suspended ; ho fell Into tho sea, thus extinguishing tho flames of his clothes: and tho sea water wh Ich ho involuntarily swallowed coun teracted tho poison ; and thus, in spite of his precautions, ho remained unhang ed, unshot, unpoisoned, unburntd, aud undrowned.
