HAPPY TECOUGTS.
If Manhood's waves have borne our hark
Ear distant from the shore,
Whose pleasant scenes were dear to us
When life its blossoms bore—
'Tis sweet when we conic back again,
To thud each spot we knew,
Decked in the self same Joyous garb
Our youth around it threw.
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.
Amid life's heartless joys,
To catch the blush and fragnmse back,
Of flowers we culled when boys.

THE WNEE'S HISTAKE.

BY NIIZS. JULIA A. 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

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

" 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

Mary returned to the sitting room and
resumed her sewing. It seemed as if

" Look here, old copperhead," said the

The Indian said never a word, but still

was plucky and just iu a condition to re

was ready to " go in," but the calmness
and imperturbability of the Indian rather
cowed him, and he was disposed to reason

" Very, well," said the fast young man,

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

before ; he Vias appalled at what he beheld

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

a parliamentary career and enter upon a

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

time of action came. The charge was
given, and victory crowned the standard

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.

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

active day's work, feeling somewhat fatig

he had composed himself for sleep he expe

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

health, nor had there been anything to ex

the incident related.
AT Wabashaw, Minnesota, an enterpris
