If Time hath laid his hand upon The things about our home, And o'er them all the mournful shade Of deep, sad change hath come— 'Tis sweet to know that in our breasts The self same heart beats on, And that while change rules all without Within, we're chilled by none. Yet sweeter than all this it is To meet, when %re are men, The friend we ptn ted with in youth The self-same now as then— To feel that he brings back, through tub.t. By time and absence cast, The light of that same kindliness That warmed the blissful past! The roses that with garish bloom, ~1.4 pleasure's garden sprint, nave each within its painted leaves, Some insect that will sting— And so doubly sweet for us.

CARNEY " Come, Mary dear, put away that v4r tasting work basket, for once, and go to the concert with me this evening." The speaker was a young man, scarcely old enough to have assumed the ears and duties of matrimonial life. One baud was laid caressingly upon the smoothly braided hair of his wife, while the other playfully attempted to take from her the -.condom ued-lsork%lke -It .4001137 d „if it deserved the epithet everlasting, for it was filled with a variety of tasks which it would have puzzled most men to even laz.med, far more to classify or define. Mary hesitated fora moment. She was evidently tempted to acccept the invita tion. She had been busied with her housekeeping tasks day ,sweeping, dusting, cooking, arranging end ,cleaning the tables, all those which seem so little in themselves, yet which make up so wearisome an aggregate. She was a young housekeeper, too, nod had uot yet learned what tasks must be performed to-day, and what may be properly left for the rested and refreshed to morrow, what must be carefully and tkoroughly performed, and what may be more slightly passed over. Early left an orphan, with a young sister A - fli;m3ent upon her efforts for support and eoun.ltd, she was the very oppcsite of her cargo -s ,tan;l. mirth-loving husband. Only two years his Cdr; or, one would al most have supposed hers.t&'er than be, so much more mature were her plat - } ; s9 much more prudent her counsels. She needed now the relaxation to Wia4lll her husband had invited her, she needed it for her mind as well as for her body. Her own aspirations were gradually - but surely conforming themselves to the weari some daily routine, and unconsciously to Uz,rself she was now asking little more of life f.i./An time to finish one task and begin another. She hesitated, almost said yes, when her ey4. F reiturned to that work basket —she must tini.4 ,that garment—it was positively necessary, would be giving up duty for pleasure. Timt thought stabbed her heart. She ivould nezier do that— she must always walk in the path of duty, though with weary steps. The dear, du tiful little woman forgot that it is some times a wife's duty to consult her bus dand's wishes. Barry . turned away disappointed and almost cross, while Mary stitched away somewhat nervously, for she knew that her husband was vexed with her. Presently he exclaimed " Well Mary,if we cat) not go to the concert, do let us have a little tnubic at home. It is a long time since you have opened the piano. Reluctantly laying aside the work in which she bad by this time become so deeply engaged as almost to forget her husband's presence, Mary went to the in strument. Performing a few tunes, with a listless, abstracted air, she hurried back to her sewing, as if to make up for lost time. Harry moodily paced the carpet for a few minutes, and then put on his over coat to go out. Why, Harry," exclaimed Mary, in surprise' "you are not going out at so late an hour, surely •• I do not see any use of my staying here I can not sew I rejoined Harry with a bitter irony in his tone, as he closed the door." Mary was not unloving she had imag ined it her duty to be very industrious and economical, as, they were just begin ning in life—with only a clerk's salary filakiliketalto, thee.' concert woulti have been a useless expense, she reasoned, - and then there was her evening's work at home. A. long evening's work it was too for the "wee sma' hours stole on and yet her husband came not. She rernembor now with perfect distinctiveness, that on one or two occasions when she had refused to go out with him, or been particularly dull or sober at home he had gone out as if vexed, and • returned late, She remem bered, also, and it uow seemed strange that she had not thought of it before that he had returned seeming unusually merry and with all traces of his vexation gone. At lennth her husband came: Alas suspicion was now really. Half reeling, half dancing into the room, he executed a series of fantastic bows before his dismayed wife, whom he addressed with mock courtesy. " Good evening? Oh, good evening Mrs. Industrious! I really was in hopes you bad done with the work basket, and would be ready is play me a tune when I came home. Come let me help you; I'll sing if you 'll play. Come " I' won't go Immo till morning." And thus rattled on over a perfect medley of bachannal song and choruses until literally out of breath, he closed with " Captain Jinks of the Horse Ma rines." Then Mary arose, and quietly lighting his night Lamp assisted him to his room and to his couch where, his wild noise having now given place to an apa thetic stupor, he was in a heavy sleep. Mary returned to the sitting room and resumed her sewing. It seemed as if eve , y pulsation of her heart was stilled; all hope all light, all joy had gone out of her life, yet still the needle came and went, Perhaps, the Father only knows, it was all that anvod her reason in that of despair. Tt canto and went steadly and the garment with its beautiful elm brodery lies now amid the wardrobe ..tf petted child, who can never know the tale of suffering wrought into its graceful leaves. It was nearly dawn before the work was laid aside, before the overstrained nerves gave away, and Mary laid her sad burden at the feet of Jesus! No word of reproach met the ashamed and penitent husband at his awakening. mg the first time that Harry Lee drank it to such excess, and from that hour he abjured the fatal cup. lle had been too easly led away by his fondness for awns etneut and wirthre/ g on) pA 1)7 , and Mary had learned too early the lesson, that there are other eennonies besides those of domestic life.

Adventures of a Fast Young Man. " Thank you, I don't care if I do," said 4 fast young man, with a large pressed brick in his hat, as he surged up, the oth -4r night, 1.9 I.bc Indian that stands in frout of a tobacco store on River street with a bunch of past iron „cigars in his band. take one; T smoke sontetimes ;" and he reached opt to take the pruaered weed, but the Indian would not give it up —he hung on to the cigars like grim death." " Look here, old copperhead," said the fast young man, " none of that; no tricks upon travelers, or there'll be a muss; you and I'll fall out; somebody'll get a punch in the head." The Indian said never a word, but still hung on to the east iron cigars. lie was calm, 4ignilied, unmoved, as an Indian should be looi:ing his as:sailaut straight in the face, awl no r unriele moving a single hair. '• Yes, yes, looking at nit?, ofd feather head; oue oreui; rtu around; I'm lull weight, putato measure heaped up,•" and he placed himself is a position, threw back his coat, and squarrcd uff for a fight. All the time the Indian never said a word, and looked, without the least alarm, straight into the face of the fast young wan, still holding out a cigar in a mighty friendly sort of way. The young man was plucky and just iu a condition to re sent any insult, or no insult at all. He was ready to " go in," but the calmness and imperturbability of the Indian rather cowed him, and he was disposed to reason the matter.

" Look here, old gimlet eye, I'm get ting riled, toy back's coming up, and you and I will have turn; smell of that old copperhead," awl he thrust his fist under the nose of the cast iron Indian, who said not a word, moved not a muscle, but kept right on looking straight into. the face of the fast young man, as if not caring a fig for his threats of taking in at all the odor of his fist. " Very, well," said the fast young man, " I'm agreeable ; around ; look out for your ugly mug, old pumpkin head," and he let go a right-bander square against the nose of the cast iron Indian, who nev $2,00 Per Year, in Advance; $2,50 if not Paid in Advance. er ntoved an inch nor stirred a muscle, ,looking with a calm unchanged. dignity, , as before, ia,thelace of his enemy.,. " Hallo !" cried the fast young man, in utter bewilderment, as he reeled back half way across the sidewalk; with the blood dripping from his skinned knuck les.

Successrul Men. All men who have succeeded in life, having been men of high resolves and endurance. The famed William Pitt was in earlcy life, fond of gaming, the pas sion increased with his years; he knew lie must at once master the passion or the passion would master him. Ile made a firm resolves that he would never again play at a game of hazard. lie could make such a resolution; he could keep it. llis subsequent eminence was the fruit of that power- William Wilberforce, in his earlier days like most young men of his rank and age, loved the excitement of the places of hazards. lie was one night persuaded to keep the faro bank. He saw the ruin of the vice of gaming as he never saw it before ; he Vias appalled at what he beheld Sitting and gaming, ruin, nod despair, he took the resolution that he would never again cuter a gambling house. lie &hang,- ed his company with the change of his conduct, and subsequently became one of the most distinguished Englishmen of his Dr. Samuel Johnson was once reques ted to drink wine with a friend. The doctor proposed tea. " But drink a little wine," said the host. " I can not," was the reply. " I know abstinence, I know excess; but I know no medium. Long since I resolved, as .1 could not drink a little wine I would not drink at all," A man who could thus support his resolution by action, was a man of endurance, and that element is as well displayed in this incident as in the combinations of great work. When "Richard Brinsley Sheridan made his first speech in Parliament, it was re garded on all hands as a mortifying fail ure. His friends urged him to abandon a parliamentary career and enter upon a field-better Snite - dlo his' ability "No said Sheridan ; " no, it is in me, and it shall come out !,' And it did, and he be came one or the most splendid debaters in England. Perhaps no other nation in Europe, at the time, could have won the battle of Waterloo, except the British, because no other could have brought to that conflict the amount of endurance necessary to win. For many hours that army stood manfully before the murderous fire of the French; column after column fell, while not a gun was discharged ou their part. One sul len word of command ran akin . ; the line as thousands fell, "File up! file .up!" " Nut yet, not yet !" was the Iron Duke's reply to the earnest requests made to charge and fight the the. At leneth the time of action came. The charge was given, and victory crowned the standard of k4tgland. Men of genius, without endurance, can not succeed. Men who start in one kind of business, may find it impossible to con tinue therein all their-days. Dl health may demand a change. New and wider fields of enterprise and success may be opened to them; new elements of charac ter may be developed. 'Men may have rare talents, but if they " are everything by turns, and nothing long," they must not expect to prosper. No form of busi ness is free from vexatious ; each man knows the spot on which his own harness chafes but he cannot know how much his neighbors suffer. The OneidalCommunists. The Oneida, N. Y., Communists, who have a branch establishment at Walling ford, Conn.. and who are well known fur their success in making Socialism peculi arily a success, and getting ambitious of making converts, We judge, At any rate their head man, John 11. Noyes, the life and brains of this peculiar organization— as Brigham Young is of Mormonism—has written a hook giving a history of Com munism iu the United States, and setting forth with greater plainness than ever be• fore the belief of himself and his follow ers. The foundation stone of the community is the apostolic idea of having ••all things in common," including persons as well as property, and this idea is thoroughly car ried out at Oneida, while we are informed thi.t the Connecticut establishment is one with the other, "socially and financially." No such distinctions as husband and wife, parents and children, are recognized by the community, but all are considered as belonging only by the attraction that one has to another. Among the articles of the croed that le gitimately follow from this fundamental belief are that shame is sin; holiness comes first, and then free love; the abolition of marriage and the substitution of Commun ism is a Christian duty, and so on. This statement of the Oneida Coalitionists is no new thing, and is only worthy of notice from the broadness and frankness with which it is now stated by the leader of the community, and the evident attempt to at tract the attention of the public by means of his book. It is also worthy of note that the people professing and practising these principles —as much viler and more demoralizing than Mormonism as can be imagaiued— are subject to no molestation, either legal or unlawful, though closely surrounded by neighbors to whom their belief is only less abhorrent than their actions. if any great establishment like this had been set up without the pretence ofligious belief to buoy it up it would have been disposed of very quickly. [WHOLE NUMBER, 2,0825. The Great Tornado—Vivid Descrip tion of theyerrible Scenes at Cave' Ci ty --I F9PISAI. fI 3 F I .?A: SI : B M- -, 'Like Wisps of Straw—Eleven Persons ,liilled and Dlainr-Wounded: , CAVE CITY, Ky., Jan. 18, 1870. - Fulipartrculars ot * the doings of the tor nado which cut off and demolished nearly one third of this little town, yesterday morning, will never be known. The storm had u beginning and an end, and the end was not more than two minutes later than the beginning; but a description of the scene during those two minutes,- or of the sad havoc - whichwai the result of the storm, can have no beginning, and can never be made complete. ProfUssor A. T. Williams, one of the sof ferers, says that ho was awakened 'about 5 o'clock byllie heavy fall of hail; which beat against and - demolished the windofris of his house. The bail shower continued but a moment, and immediately lupin the cessa tion of the hail-storm there was'a long,con tinuous sheet of flame malting a most pow erful light, which continued but another moment. He then heard the approaching wind-storm and anticipated the danger,but thought his house which was strongly built, would withstand the storm, but he prepared himself - fur the wend result: His wife having become alarmed, made arc effort to get out of the house,but Professor Williams caught her and threw her upon the bed and prevented her from going out. The house stood the first attack bravely ; but it was afterwards picked up by the storm, lifted front its foundation, and turn ed completely round in the air two or three times before being parted asunder and de molished. There were unmistakable evi dences of this filet besides the impressions of Professor Williams and other, inmates of the house. Several persons were sleeping in the house at the time. Those who were sleeping in the buck part of' the house were found in front of where the house stood. Professor Willie ma bed deposited his cloth - lug on a chair in his bedroom on retiring. His pants were found hanging upon a stake half a mile west of the site of the house ; his coat was found three-fourths of mile in an eastward direction, and the vest was found nearly two miles west of the house. Mt. Willi ants and wife were separated and covered with debris, he insensible, and both of them hurt, but not badly. He regained consciousness soon, and began to collect the scattered fragments of his family, and found that none were in immediate danger. The most terrific rainstorm immediately followed the wind and lightning. No words can portray au idea of the scene. Those who had witnessed the most terrifying bat tle scenes say they never saw, or heard, or felt, or conceived of anything so perfectly hideous and terrifying as the howling of the winds, the vivid flashes of lightning, the crashing of houses, the drenching rain, the heart-rending shrieks and piteous wail logs of the terrified and the wounded, the whole of which occurred in two minutes, or probably less time. The wind shrieked, screamed, howled and roared. By the occasional flashes of lightning, it could be seen that the air was filled with flying trees, timber, houses, fragments of houses, stables, and buildings of all kinds, furniture, stoves, and cooking utensils, clothing, bedding, animals, fowls, and every conceivable thing, animate and in animate, that came within the range of the storm. If the fiend had a form, it was that of aheavy,angry cloud, ,which swept the earth and lore everything it touched from its fixed place. The crash was Quick and territic,but the noise of the breaking houses was music compared with the bellowing winds that preceded it. The destruction was complete, About fifty houses were demolished, and there is sot to be found a portion of a build - lag, a piece of furniture, an article of jew elry, an article of clothing or bedding, a book ore piece of ware of any kind that is worth the sum of fifty cents. Tho remains of the houses may serve for firewood, the fragments of furniture for kindling, the clothing and bedding for old rags; but there is nothing left within that truck of a halt mile in width, and extending at least twelve or fifteen miles in length, except In two or three singular instances, that is worth a farthing, or oven will be, in the way it was originally designed. i'rofi'ssor Williams had a large library, worth thousands of dollars, of which not a single book had been found that can ever be used again. A single cup and a solitary plate is all that has been found of sloo:worth of chinaware belonging, to him. The only insurance heard of Is on the house of Pro lessor Williams and this was by a worthless company. The total loss can never be estimated. It is enough to know that several hundred persons : re homeless, without clothing or food, except such as tht y have received from kind-heat ted citizens. Most of the des titute are poor and unable to purchase clothing or furniture, or oven food, even If they could tied houses to live In. Eleven will be taken to their narrow homes to-day, It is indeed wonderful that this number is so small. How any creature could exist in that storm and survive is a mystery lie yond the comprehension of even those who were in the thickest of it. Many of the sur vivors were terribly lacerated and bruised by the dying splinters and timbers, and some of the dead were shockingly crushed and mangled. A Singniar Warning. Some weeks ago a prominent citizen of Auburn was in.Lhe city of Chicago transact ing business connected with his manufac ture in this place. One evening, after an active day's work, feeling somewhat fatig ued, ho retired to his room at the hotel a lit tle earlier than usual.aud made his custom ary arrangements for the night, but just as he had composed himself for sleep he expe rienced u singular sensation, and hoard a voice, apparently very near and is plainly and distinctly as though it issued front the throat of a human, pronounce the words, Your mother died to-day," and with the words came an assurance that the announce went was indeed too true to doubt it. Ho arose in the morning after having passed a sleepless night, and made immediate prep aration for a journey home. As be started for the depot ho met a boy with a telegraph dispatch in his hand, and culling him to his side he risked if the message was not for him—giving the name—and sure enough it was from his family, confirming the truth fthe announcement of the unseen inform ant, that his nAther had died the day previ ous at Auburn. Ile had received no Jai :nation but that she was enjoying her usual health, nor had there been anything to ex cite in the slightest degree his apprehen sions for her safety, until the occurrence of the incident related. AT Wabashaw, Minnesota, an enterpris ing corporation had a poor man working r them by the year. While working on their mill-dam ho fell into the river and was drowned. When his widow came to settle up his affairs she found the dead man was docked four dollars a month on the time he had worked because he did not fin his year out.
