'Tis sealed! The destiny of man,’ 'And,yet it Seems go long, my precious Orie, ' Since all the sunshine of your happy face Went from me through the cold and silent river, . Leaving within my heart an empty space. The moments linger; slowly throbvﬁﬂ-’pulzee Whea I recall this day two years ago, Dear friends around your bed4side kindly gathered To watch with me your life tide ebb and flow. I knowithat all unseen the angels lingered Around the cot, your passing goul to bear Up to the regplendent “Courts Celestial”_ Away from'sin’s polluting blight or snares. Nor would I dare wish back the ransomed spirit, Though here vour loving presence much I miss; ‘The gladness of your early morning greeting, | The sweetness of your every evening kiss. | ! There happy spirits waited for your coming, The loved not lost Lut “*enly gone before,” The glad re-union hymn of heaven shouted, ‘ - Whileangels lietened, they could do no more.

L g “O—l'm going out,” was the careless response. o : : ' “But where ?” o ~ “What odds does it make, Emima ? I shall be back at my usual time.” The young wife hesitated, and a quick flush overspread her face. She seemed to have made up her mind to speak plainly upon .a subject which had lain uneasily upon her heart for some time, and she could not let the .opportunity pass. It required an effort, butishe persevered. ~ “Let me tell you what odds it makes to me,” she said, in a kind, but tremulous tone. “If I cannot have your company here at home, I should at least feel much better if I knew where you were.” “But you know that I am safe, Emma, and what more can you ask ?” “I do not know that you are safe‘, George. I know nothing about you when you are away.” ~ : “Pooh! Would you have it that I am not capable of taking care of myself ?” i i

“You put a wrong construction up--on my words, George. Love isalways anxious when its dearest object is away. If I did not love you as I do, 1 might not be thus uneasy. When you are at your place of business I’ never feel thus, because I know I can seek and find you at any moment; but when you are absent these long eveni’ngs, I get to wondering where you are. Then I begin to feel lonesome; and so one' thought. follows another; until I feel troubled and uneasy. 0— if you would, stay - with me a portion of your evenings!” - . “Aha—Tl thought that was what you were aiming at,” said George, with a. playful shake pf the head. “You would have me here evenings.” -~ “Well—can you wonder at it ?” returned Emma. “I used to be very happy when you came to spend an evening with fhe before We were married; and I'know I should be very happy in your society now.” . “Ah,” said George, with a smilg, “those were business meetings. We were arranging them for the future.” “And why not continue so to do, my husband? lam sure we could be as_ happy now as ever. If you will remeémber—one of our plans was to make & home.” e : “And haven’t we got one, Emma ¥” “We have a place in which to live,”; answered the wife, somewhat evasiveIy 4 - “And it.is our heme,” pursued George. “And” he added, with a sort of confident flourish, “home is* the wife’s peculiar province. She has charge of it, and all her work'is there; while the duties of the husband call him to other scenes.” Z :

“Aye—l admit that, so far as certain duties are, concerned,” replied Emma. “But yow must remember that we both need relaxation from labor; we need time for social and mental improvement and enjoyment; and what season have we for this save our evenings? Why should not this be my home of evenings, as well as in the daytime and in the night ” “Well—isn’t it?” asked George. “How ecan it be if you are not here ? What makes a home for children, if it be not the abode of,the parents?— What home can a husband have where | there is no wife? And what real home comforts can a wife enjoy where there is no husband? You do not realize how lonesome I am.all alone here during these long evenings.— They are the very seasons when lam at leisure to enjoy your compahionship, and when you would be at leisure to enjoy mine, if it is worth enjoying. They are the seasons when the happiest hours of home life might be passed. Come—will you not spend a few of your evenings with me ?” “You see enough of me as it is,” said the husband, lightly. : “Allow me to be the judge of that, George. You would be very lonesome here all alone.” . “Just rémember; my husband, that, ‘previous to our marriage, I had pleas- l ant society all the time. Of course I remained at home much of my time; but I had a father and mother there —and I had brothers and sisters there; and our evenings were happily spent. Finally I gave all up for you. I left ‘the old home and sought a home with my husband. : And now, have I not a' right to expect some of your companionship? How would you like it to' have me away every evening, while you were obliged to remain here alone ?” : . “Why—l should like it well enough.” “Ah—Dbut you would not be wiilling to try it.” , el “Yes, I would,” said George, at a venture. . “Will you remain here every evening next week, and let me spend them among my fenaale friends.” “Certainly I will; and I assure you I shall not be so lonesome as you imagine.” ; With this the chusband -weént out, and was soon among his friends. He was; a steady, industrious man, and loved his wife truly; but: like thousands of others, he had contracted a habit of spending his evenings abroad, and thought of no harm. His only practical idea of home seemed to be, that it was a place which his wife took care of, and where he could eat; drink, and sleep, as long as he could pay for.it. In short hﬁgreated itasa

dort of private boarding-house, of which his wife was landlady;.and if “he paid all the bills he considered his duty done. His wife had frequently ‘asked him to stay at home with her, but she had never ventured upon any ‘argument before, and he had no conception of how much she missed him. She always seemed happy when he came home, and shé supposed he could always be so, - Monday evening 'came, and George Wilson remained true to his promise. His wife put on her bonnet anq shawl, and he said he would remajn and “keep house.” : ! L “What will you do while I am gone ?” asked Emma. - - s : “O—ll shall read, and 'sing; and enjoy myself generally.” i “Very well. I shall be back in good season.” : {

The wife went out, and the hushand was left alone. He had an interesting book, and he began to read it. He read till eight o’clock, and then he be- - gan to yawn, and refer frequently to ‘the dial. The book” did not interest him as usual. Ever, and anon he would come to' a passage which he :knew would please his wife, and instincgveiy- he turned as though he would read it aloud; but there was no ‘avife to hearit. At half past eight he arose from his chair and began to pace ‘theé floor, and whistle.. Then he went and got his flute, .and performed several of' his favorite airs. After this he got a pack of cards and played a game of “High, Low, Jack,” with an imaginary partner. Then he walked the floor and whistled again. Finally the clock struck nine, and his wife returned. . Ga “Well, George, lam back in ‘good season. ITow have you enjoyed yourself 221 - o i

" “Capitally,” returned the husband. “I had no idea.it was so late. I hope you have had a good time.” . ; “O—splendid. I had no idea how ‘much enjoyment there was away from home. Mome is a dulkplace, after all. dsnltito” : ; ' “Why—no—l can’t say that it is,” returned George. “I ratherlike it.” - “I'm glad of that,” retorted Emma, “for ~we shall both enjoy ourselves now. You shall have anice; comfort‘able week of it.” ! : i George winced some at this, but-he kept his countenance, and determined to stand iv out. - o - - On the next evening Emma prepared to go away again. . “I shall be back in good season,” she

said. g “Where are you going ?” asked her husband. b c “O—l can’t, tell exactly. I may go to several places.” . z > So George Wilson was left alone again, and he tried to amuse himself as before; but he found it hard work. Ever and anon would he cast his eyes. upon that empty ehair, and the thought would come, “How pleasant it would be if she were here.” The clock finally struck nine, and he began to listen for the step of his; wife. Half an hour more slipped by, and he became very uneasy. ; o “I declare,” he muttered to himself, after he had listened for some time in vain, “this is too bad. She ought not to stay ont so late” - o * But he happened to remember that he often remained away much later than that, -so he concluded that he must make the best of it. : : At fifteen minutes of ten Emma came-home., =~ e “A little late, ain’t I 1?” she said, looking up at the cloc¢k. “But I fell in with some good old . friends, and made a time of it. How have you énjoyed yourself?” : e ; “I'irst rate,” returned George, bravely. “I think home is a great place.” “Especially when one can have it all to himself,” added the wife, with a sidelong glance at her husband. . But he made no reply. - ‘ On the next evening Emma prepared to go out as before? but this time she kissed her husband ere she went, and seemed to hesitate some. . - “Where do you think .of going?” George asked, in an undertone. “I:muﬁ drop in to, see Uncle John,” replied Emma. “Hovever, you won’t be uneasy. You'll know I'm safe.” . “O—certainly.” When the husband was left to his own reflections, he began to ponder seriously upon the subject thus presented for consideration. He could not read—he could not play—he could not enjoy himself in any way, while that chair was empty. In” short, he found that home -had no real comfort without his- wife.” The one thing needed to make his home cheerful was not present. “I declare,” he said to himself, “I did not think it would be so lonesome. And can it be that she feels as I do, when she is here all alone? It must be so,” he pursued, thoughtfully. It is just as she says. DBefore we were married, she was very happy in her childhood’s home. Her parents loved her, and her brothers and sisters lovedher, and they did all they could. to make her comfortable,” - -, After this he walked up and down the room several times, and then stopped again and communed with' himgelf- f s

“T can’t stand this. I should die in a week. If Emma were only here, I think I could amuse myself very well. How lonesome and dreary it is. . And only eight o’clock. I declare—l've a mind to walk down by Uncle John’s, and see if she is:there. It would be a relief to see her face. I won’t go in. She shan’t know yet that I hold out 80 faintly?” George Wilson took another turn across the room, glanced once more at the.clock, and then took his hat and -went out. He locked the door after him, and then bent his steps towards Uncle John’s. | It was a beautiful moonlight night, and the air was keen and’bracing. - He was walking along with his eyes bent upon the sidewalk, when he heard a light step approaching him. Heloaoked up, and—he could not be mistaken—saw his wife. His first impulse was to avoid her, but she had recogn‘i;'ed him. “George,” she said, “is this you ?” “It is,” was the response. “And you do not pass your-evenings at home?” @ - : . “This is the first time I have been out, Emma, upon my word, and even now I have not been absent from the house ten minutes. 1 merely came out to take the fresh ain. » But where are you going ?” L “L am going* home, George. Will ‘you go with me?” o * “Certainly,” returned the husband. She took his arm, and they walkegd home in silence. ; . When Emma had taken off her things,she sat down in her rockingchair, and gazed up at the clock. “You came home-early to-night,” remarked George. e - . ‘ghé- young wife looked up into her “hukband’s face, and, with an expres-

sion half smiling and half tearful, she answered: . e | “I will confess the truth, George: I | have given up the experiment. I managed to stand it last evening; but I could not bear it through to-night. When I thought of you here all alone, I wanted to be with you. It didn’t seem right. I haven’t enjoyed myself at all. I have no home but this.” “Say you so,” cried George, moving his chair to his wife’s side, and taking one of her hands. “Then let me make my confession. I have stood it not a whit better. When I left the house this evening, I could bear it no longer. I found that this was no home for me while my sweet wife was absent. ‘I thought I would walk dewn by Uncle John’s, and see your face, if possible. I had gazed upon your empty chair till my heart ached.” : : ~ He kissed her as he spoke, and then added, while she reclined her head upon his arm— o e “I'have learned a very good lesson. Your presence here is like the bursting forth of the sun after a storm; and if you love me as I love you—which, of course, I cannot doubt—my presence' may afford some sunlight for you. At all events, our next experiment shall be to that effect. I will try and see how much Home Comfort we can find while we are both here to _enjoy it.” : ; : Emma was too happy to express her joy in words; ‘but she expressed it nevertheless; and in a manner, too, not to be mistaken. o The next evening ‘was spent at home by both husband and wife, and it was a season of mueh enjoyment.— In a short time George began to realize how much comfort was to be found in a quiet and peaceful home; and the | longer he enjoyed this:comfort the more plainly did he see and understand the simple truth that it takes two to make a happy home, and if the wife is one party, the husbanid must be the other, ’ - R.FAUROT vs. C. G. FAIT. v A Ministerial Counselor Vindicating ‘His Integrity. , EDpITOR BANNER:—I notice in"your “Supplement” of the Bth inst., over the . signature of C. G. Fait, a few items which I ask the liberty to notice. i

~ Ist. “The counselor referred to (Elder R. Faurot) betrayed me.” . - 2d. “I wrote to R. Faurot, * * asking him to come to Ligonier and act as counsel,” ete. His language was: “I want to employ you as my Attorney.” But not being of that calling, I went simply as a mutual friend. And under date of October sth, “Bro. Chapman said, you was my agent. But did you not act as a mediator instead? Did you not act the part of their agent as avell?” These mutual charges rather imply that I acted impartially, as I certainly aimed to do. . 3d. “He learned the cause and nature of the difficulty from both Masons and anti-Masons; * * went to the pastor and church officials and drew up a paper, such as would -suit the parties bringing cliarges against me.” True, I worked, to the extent of my feeble ability, during the time I had, a_rid then sat down, by my own choice, and drew ‘what I considered a propex and just concession for Bro. C. G. Fait —such as I thought then, and still ‘think, he owed to the brethren, the cause, truth and justice. This I showed to the pastor and brother C., and they said if brother Fait would sign it it would be accepted. I then spent three earnest hours endeavoring te show brother F.that he owed! it to himself and the cause to make these acknowledgments, they 'being the least and easiest terms I could find it in my own heart to ask. Ido not remember of ever intimating that I “would publish him,” but, “unless he was willing to do what was right, he. must not expect mé to stand by him.” He, furthermore, knows that he did “seratch off, interline and change some (to him) objectionable parts,” which, were taken by the church just as he signed them, his verbal explanations being allowed at the meeting, just as promised,and-not asingle “agreemerit” that I made for the church was “transcended.” I used no threats stronger than: “Brother Fait, if you think I will stand by you, right or wrong, you are simply mistaken. If you can‘n()t, do so p]aifﬁ\-ian acq of justice, please count me out of your defenders.”

. T ask not the “justice” of the insinuation that I “failed to inform the church' authorities, as a mediator. should, of the stipulated conditions upon which I signed the paper,” for I did 'so at once, and they granted it; nor was a single one violated. . 4th, “After due deliberation, I determined that I could never submit conscientiously to this extorted concession * ¥ ¥ Dbecause of its incorrectness.” But why does not brother F. show one statement that is incorrect? -If he has not a copy I will furnish it. f ~ sth. “On the evening of the . trial excluding me from church, and after my exclusion, a seeret order brother who wag interested in the same having heard through some of my friends, of the nature and tone of the (private) letter, * “* called for the reading of said letter.” True, I wrote brother Fait‘aleﬁer, October Ist, containing no stronger language than I believe to be tiue, for I claim to know something about Freemasonry and screen from no-one the fact that I regard it as an anti-christian, dangerous institution, utterly unfit for any pious ‘man to meddle with; nor have I “changed my opinions,” save foi:.‘_the‘ worse by every page I read and act,l see concerning its workings.

'But the question now, is about the use made of a private letter, upon the «gall of a sécret order brother.” I was told by brother Richmond that brother Fait suggested to him that, if he would tell Dr. Landon (or some one) to call for said letter, he (Bro. Fait) would read it. B Vi ‘So “I thought it right and proper to read it.” Yes, and to pxint it, and to read it to private parties, &c.

N“d. 40.

= } e S AR Brother Fait told me repeatedly, on my first visit in September, that he could not get a hearing before ‘the church. “Astonishing! to write such advice, because I told him I.could not be heard in the church, and only four days after he had witnessed my hearing,” etc. Yet, the same day he told me sO, too, “before we had- talked of any farther hearing. Neither would Fhave had any thoughts or intention of any further hearing had it not been for Faurot’s advice,” etc. = In’ what language have I, by word or letter, given such advice? - None. - I insist ‘still,r unless brother F.should make the concession, as T wrote it, he has no right to ask for further hearing. Ididsay “he had manifold better grounds to presént charges against them” at first than they had, ete, but | does this say they had no ‘grounds-to ‘make charges against him? '’ ¢ls thine eyeevil because lam good?” - - - T again wrote, October 29th, after much solicitation from brofirer. Fait: “Although exceedingly tired and busy, 1 spend a few "l'nom'ents,.jvi_‘iting.:” oy “They ought to make restitution by confessing their errors and restoring you to fellowship”—without concession? Not at all. ' Does this say bro 3 ther F. has no errors? It was not so intefided. . It was not my business, as “an Evangelist, to set that chureh in order,” any more than'to set brother Fait in order. : il R e oich

I ﬂxbuic}lhot )ha,ve' gone at that time, at all,-had I not ‘heard that false impressions had been given by the reading of my private letter .in public,-and a little leisure time coming in, I went down, as at first; on a tour of O_bseryat‘ion’. o True, I was roughly. treated by friend(?) and foe(?), but the only necessity I [found for “changing my opinion;” after going really “in a hurry to Matthias Marker’s” to'geb the letter, and hurriedly and voluntarily pronising, in brother Fait’s ear—(not “after securing his pledge to return ‘the letter or a copy of it,in presence of Mr, and Mrs. Marker and: Mr, _Hob‘d, I gave him the letter,” but) as I put the letter into my, pocket and turned tq the door, that “I would return it or a copy of / it.” But, afterwards, learning the use brother ¥. had made of it, T did change my mind, and refused to let him, or brother C, or any one else, have it, as. was my right. I felt myself betrayed j;mthe hiouse gf my (pretended) ffiend. Brother F. may think this a “sacrifice of principle.” =Be it so, I have: not “gone back on my advice” farther than’ to say: “I have been thinking much over the events—and while I become more satisfied with the wisdom of the | cotinsel I gave you, ete.

~ Our Lyceum was organized for the benefit of our young men and women. It was intended ‘as an adjunct to our school, the grade of wihch does not | contemplate any exercises in declama- - tion and composition. = You are nar(rower minded than you have any right to be, in your pesition, “if you: . undertake to say there is no necessity - for such an institution. | ‘You!might as well try to sweep the schools out of existence. - 'ln saying that the Liyceum is intended for the young, it - ‘wasinot meant to exclude older pesons, parents even, from participat- - ing. Indeed, it would be better if - more_ of them were wit!x us, ant only te encourage us by their presence, but to“hélp-diréct by their friendly criti- . cism. . Te | G e i ~ You speak of a “morbid appetite.” Is it not better that tle effervescence of youth should be worked off by declamation; of frivolous pieces even, ‘than by attendance for the purpose of -disturbing the session, and otherwise cultivating rowdyish ;propensitie%.r s But the greater share of our workis i of a moral and elevating tendeney. * For one, I would be glad if it werejall pfg that character, but each is a‘c?ountable for his own actions, and there can be no compulsion. As a parent, T take pains to see that none under my control do anything for which I think they can be justly blamed. And I cannot think a hearty laugh where there: is good causeé will harm the humblest christian. ‘. ; o

- And this brings me to that in yofir éommunieation, which is personal, and I have no doubt meant to be so. You make two misstatements in the one sentence, Would it not have been ~well for you to know that you could \férify your statement, before giving it to the public? I fear I shall have ‘to blow my own horn, when I -say ‘that though I believeé in “bible precept,” ‘I believe yet more in bible example. And I can safely add—so long as there can be no_successful contradietion—that if I were a monitor among the people, as you are, or supposed to be, I would be sure to look well to the manners and morals 'of myself and family, before undertaking the direction of others. i _“Your course in the Lyceum. matter is. open to grave objection. . You have mever been at a session to know any-. thing of its character. But your boy has, and with others who prove that they also have ldcked in parental care ahd instruction, have shown unmistakably, that they were there, to say the least, for no gooll-to: themselves or others. When the| person whose duty it was, and was made, went to

you, to inform you of your boy’s conduct and ask ‘you to help us in:the matter of good order—and this before any theatrical performance, or notice of any—you showed him that our case was prejudged. .

I would much ﬁatl)er this had neveér happened. I would be glad to know that “the youth of our town” were one and all attracted to.our halls, for the benefit . they might gain to thqms'e-lves', for ; the help they might be to others, now and hereafter. i U g I may be thought irreverent in my communication by some. There is no wish nor intention on my part, on that score.. To speak phrenologieally, my bump of veneration was small‘at the beginning, and has failed to grow much .since, only enough to revere that alone having qualities worthy of reverence. Place and 'liosition, ‘of ‘themse'lves, have no elaim on me, and ‘when one holding such, asks a rever-* ence as due him without the qualities, “ag aforesaid,” my poor little bump fails to'respond.’ > -0 .

- . The President’s Wages. The sum of $50,000 is a fortune. Its possession, properly invested, assures a large family. all the comforts and many of the luxuries of life,. It can be7invested in bonds and mortgages of absolute security at the net profit of 185,000 a year. * It will carry on a busilness of $250,000 a vear; and afford, .aside from the profit it earns, employ‘ment for a score of men. ' It is what thousands of educated men toil for as ° the resiilt of conscientious and laborious livés, and then do not attain. It ‘would furnish the means of support for 500 famiiies during a hard winter, who will actually suffer for want of | proper shelter, food and clothing. Yet, in these times, when every individual - feels the necessity of ¢conomy,more than ever before, when the President himself recommends retrenclhment in public works, and when the government must contemplate the emergen¢y of issuing new bonds to pay the: interest on the debt it already owes, the majority “in Congress, through their committee, decide that the President ought te receive this sum of $50,000 a year ~just twice as muech as Lincoln received for services in-com-parison with which the services of ‘any subsequent President have been ‘insignificant.—Chicago Tribune. i el & i .
