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.

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."

The Retired Conductor "Gris,"
of tho Ciucintiall Timet, relates of an
old conductor, promoted to train dis
patcher, as follows : Habit was exceed
ingly strong with tho ox-conductor. As
ho sat In tho ofllco ho would start overy
timo no Heard n boll ring and yoll, "all
aboard." Then ho would go about tho
ofllco at intervals and try to collect faro
from his asiistauts. 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.

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. Tho
littlo ones cling to tlioklnd teachcrwho
learns their peculiarities, inquires into
ineir uttio trials, ministers to their
wants, mid nt their own firesides wntnrs
with her prayers and counsels tho in-
slructlons of tho Sabbath.
"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

paragraph. While overy lady and gen

not uo cruel enough to wish to bo rJd of

alludes:
"Tharo linlllt bin n linn- mmln vol In

Nobody nccdfecl called upon to blush
over tho paragraph printed below, for
ii is lak-en from airs. 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. I havo tried tho
damping process, and do notMipprovo
of it. Canadian Journal of Commerce.
A Frenchman, resolved to bo rid of
llfo, went, a littlo beforo high tide, to a
post set up by tljo sea-side. 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.
