Perhaps you have been ascending a mountain with the mist so thick be fore you that at a few feet from you not an object was visible, and so wet that it was like a dripping rain. Timidity and despondency say in such -a case, you had better turn back, at any rate lie by in the first shelter. But perhaps you will find a clear sky with a little more travel upward, Courage and hopesay, Goon ! Faith says, Go on ! higher up you find light So you go on, ind at length, unex pectedly, at one single step, you emerge into "clear sunshine. Then all your trouble is forgotten. How glad you are that you persevered, that you did not turn back ; you woirid have lost this glorious, sight, magnificent prospect, this peculiarity of glory, which you could have enjoy fid only under these very circumstan ces of preceding mist and. gloom. You would have lost this sight of the clouds under you, and the atmos phere resting upon thenras on a sea of chalcedony, smooth, soft, undula ting, and the summits of the moun tains all around glittering with ice and snow.

Tire Crusade Repudiated T lie Temperance Qnslioit left . Uiilourhed. At first glance the returns of the municipal elections of last Men diy in Ohio do not seem, encour aging to friends of the temperance movement. We look in vain for vmenceoiinat wonaertui change! -J f , 1 1 , . of public sentiment which was to regenerate the whole country, and finally sweep all the dram-shops from the face of the earth. Not only the large cities like Cincin nati, Cleveland and Columbus' are reported as declaring against tem perance, but town aiter town in the rural districts registered the same at the polls There were not a few triumphs for the crusa ders, but the drift of the tide was in the opposite direction. A frjend of the temperance move ment writing to a Cincinnati pa per from the Home ot Mother Stewart, Dio Lewis' most effi 'uent female coadjutor, says that to tell the plain truth ' Spring field, after lull deliberation, know ingly rejects tbepropo?ition to suppress saloons ; a clear majori ty want no law decidins: what shall bo drunk." In that city the Common Council is evenly "divi ded on the Temperance question. More'disnppointing to the Crusa ders, and surprising to everybody, is the success of the antiTTempcr "ar.ee ticket in Washington, C. II., where the women's move uk n t was i n a 11 gu rated jand ach i ev ed perhaps, its greatest victories, and in Ilillshoro, whence, as from Washington C. II., missionaries have gone into the surroundinsr country to show the liquor trafic may be extirpated by the wo men's method. The dispatches say that Franklin, so conspicuous ,JrW ;- V;--V J iztw'c a majority for the opposi tosn, and that Waynesville, Sid ney, Pomeroy, and other places equally celebrated in connection with the wome'ri s movements, also voted " anti-Temperance." Thus speaks a puzzled triend of the Temperance crusade, at his wit's end to reconcile this disas trous result of the vote .with those enthusiastic and uncommon ly false hopes based oh the epi demic whicliin the West forced respectable women to pary in gut' ters and to draw for a season the eyes of thf whole country upon tii em. Yet, if we examine the matter, there s nothing wonderful in the fact that terrorism and interfer ence with individual rights which thinly disguised itself under the form of a godly crusAde has been repudiated by the common sense of the community It is an old remark the Republics fail often to secure to the citizen a liberty tn his privhte and individual life so complete as that which despo- tisrh not seldom accords. I . T. ! x U n n It is to be hoped, though scarcely to be expected, that this lesson will bo heeded bv the en thusiasts. At all events, they will not soon a srain 'fancy they have inade a mortal revolution when thev have in 'fact only committed n series of nuisance against the freedom and the rights of individ uals to guide themselves, and to j ndge for themselves what is hurtful and what is beneficial. Norfolk Virginian. Schuyler Colfax appears in an Indiana paper in a letter declin inp the nomination for Conjrress tendered to him in his district. He sa-9 that he truest happiness in life is in being out of office and master of one's own time and movements, and that no possible inducements that he can imagine could tempt him to desire a return to 'Congressional life, with what are so well known to be "its cares and toils, its; injustice and falsify cations, its envyings and all un charitableles?,,, Came to "his death while be- !

Silting lip Avi th II or She was expecting him Satur day "igt; the parlor curtains were down, the old folks notified that it was healthy td gotobectat eight o'clock, and Johniiv, bribed with a cent, permitted himself to be tllfiknd nwnv of iin.imim TT. . . .UIJUUIYIi. 11C sneaked np the path, one eye on the dog, and the other watchino- forthe.'old man,' who don't like him any toq well, gave a faint knock at the door, and it was opened and he was escorted into the parlor. lie said he couldn't stay but a minute thoughg he didn't mean to go for hours. She wanted to know how his mother was J if his father had returned from York State; and JMiis bro ther Bill's rheumatism was any belter, and he went over and set down-on the so "aso as not to strain hi3 voice. Then conversation flagged, and lie played with his hat, and she nibbled at the-sofa tidy. He finally said it wa3 a beautiful evening, and she replied that her erranfiithr proHictcd snow storm- He said he guessed it wouldn't snow, as the nioon wast'd crooked enough to hang a powder horn on the end, and she said she didn't believe it would either. This mutual understand ing seemed, o give each other courage, and he wanted to know if she had seen Bill Jones lately. She didn't she said, and didn't want to. They then went to talking about the donation visit which was to bo given Elder Berry, and he carelessly dropped his hand on hers his right hand, while his left arm sneaked along the sola and got behind her shoulder. She pretended not to notice it, and he looked down at his boots and wanted to know if, s he boo f s"V.f sis F trurtiy pflni-Yimpt black she couldn't say, but she had an idea that it did. He had- just commenced to lock fingers .1 i - .it . j witn iter,- wnen sue uiscuvcreu that something ailed the lamp. She rose up and turned the lamp down a half, making the room look dim. . 1 It took him five minutes to get hold of her finger again, and she pretended to want to draw her hand away all the time. Atter a Ion" pause he lowered his voice to i ... -. . . a whisper, and said he did t see what made folks lwe each other. She bit her handkerchief and ad mitted her ignorance. He said that he could name a dozen young men who were going to get mar ried right away, and his hft arm felj down and gave her a hug. Then he went over and looked out ot the window to make sure that it was or was not going to snow, and coming back, he turned the 1 ier jit down a little more, and then sat down and wanted to know if she did'nt want to rest herself by leading her head on his shoul der. , Ah, me! We have all been there, and who of us cared a cent when the old clock struck twelve, and we five mihs from home? Tlie old man was fast asleep, the watch-doff none visiting, and the handsomest girl in the country didn't see why .we need be in a hurry. jA piild and affectionate wife in Lancaster, Pa., overheard an ac quaintance remark that her hus- baiid was too tond ot .Loo. ohe waited up tor him that night, and wljen he cam home demanded to knowif he had been spending his time az-ain with Loo. The un- , suspecting husband admitted that he! had when without giving him time to explain she went for him with a fire-shovel. The husband dos not exactly remetnber how the interview ended, but he never tjould conyiuee his wife that Loo was a game of cards, and always plays euchre now, and gets home beiore ten o'clock. None knew him but to trust lim, nor named him but to dun," is the pathetic sentence with which a Deleware merchant clos es an advertisement tor a missing customer. The IHotlicr in UcAvcn. In turning over some old papers in acountry attic some time sinc5 I came across the follOwing.senti ments, wdiieh. from some bints by the aiihor. accompanying, I think he intended eventually to put into verses. They struck me, even in prose, as expressing the cry from so many hearts, that I have Ven tured to copy them and send them to you, hoping you mightthlnk them a healthy relieffrbm the absorbing political "topics of the day. and gtvethem a corner in your valuable paper : ' When the heart is oppressed with anxious cares, when' the world looks cold ahd drear, when black d i sa ppoi n tm en ts h ang h ea vy round our necks, and we hunger after a love that seems ever to re cede, whither do our souls turn for succor? To that mother in heaven who never failed us wlrle here. kt When our hearts ache to 'find ourselves no lonsjer needed to partake in the pleasures of ou children scarcely welcome even to share in their sorrows; when cold duty takes the place of the heart's offerings in sickness or suffering, to whom do we cast our eyes upwards, thinking, oh, were she here, whom should we find ever at our side ? Our mother in heaven. " When those we love have gone astray, and language fails to express the bitter shame ; when the little feet whose fotterino; steps we have upheld, or watched th ro u gh t h e ' fi rra e r . st ri d es of youth and manhood, have turned into devious paths, heedless of entreaty or prayer, whither do we turn, longing to rest our weary h ead s on the b oso mthat evern The mother in heaven. " When years have passed, and we are left alone,' children gone,, some separated by seas or moun tains, others by the greater dis? tanee of coldness or forgetfnlnes?, Avhose voice then comes back to. us with the loving tones we vain ly lom to hear once more ? The dear mother in heaven. 44 Is not the wish wrung from us, that once again we were chil dren to be clasped in that warm embrace ? Do not the bitter tears . v- - 1- come as we rememocr now un? mindful we were of the rich motherly blessings while we had them ? " Oh, ye, who still have moth ers to feel for you in your sorrows, remember, however your hearts may change, their's never do ; the mother's heart is the one thing that never grows old. Amid the traits that must be our portion in this world, a good Being has sent to all one blessing one love purer than all others. Happy are those who,' with anguish and re morse, do not have to say, it is our mother in heaven." Ex. The Tongue. Go, lead a lion a sin gle hair send np an eagle to the sky to xeck out a star, coop up the thun der, and quench one flaming city with one widow's tears ; iL thou couldst do these, yet' the tongue can not tame. We allow the tongue salt, but not pepper,; let it be well sea soned, but not too hoi It is a little member little in quantity, but great in iniquity. What it hath lost in the thickness it hath gotten in quicknessf ; and the defect of magnitude is re compensed in the agility. An arm may be longer, but the tongue is stronger ; and a leg hath more flesh than it hath, besides bone which it hath not, yet the tongue still runs quicker and faster, and if the water lie for holding out, without doubt the tongue shall win it. One of the editors of a certain pa per which shall be nameless, soon after beginning to learn the printing business, went to court a preacher's daughter. The next time he attended meeting he was taken down at hear ing the minister announce in his text : My daughter is grievously torment ed with a devil" All affectation is the vain and rediculous attempt of poverty to appear rich. Ixiaor. . The Wealth of the State. The Era say ..-: The town pro- perty of the (State is valued at $13,855,078; There are io,S02,707 acres of land in North Carolina, and its assessed valuation is $70,182,370. There Were in North Carolina in 1870, 229,789 persons over ten years of age who could not read. The census of 1870 shows that we had in North Carolina at that time only 3,029 persons of foreign birth. . The population of North Car olina in 1870 was 1,071,361, or 678,470 whites, 391.65Q colored, The. aggregate value of the far ming utensils, money otn hand solvent credits, &c, listed in North Carolina in 1872 wa3 23, 839,430. The aggregate valuation of the? land andtowu property, of the? State of North Carolina la put down at $83,987,448. In 1872, the number of persona Uatfio! for poll tax in North Caro lina was 120,570. Of this num ber 85,223 were whites and lv 653 colored. ' The aggregate value of the hor ses, mules, cattle and live stock owned in North Carolina in 1872 was $16,994,578. The ITIodoc at their Sew Home. ' The Modocs who recently play ed a leading part in our history have been almost forgotten by the public, but npt by the ubiquitous " interviewer!" One of tlie fra" ternity has taken the trouble to follow the tribe to their, new home in the Quapaw Reservation. In visit. The "war seems to have completely cowed them, and they are apparently resigned to their lot, - such as it is. Scar-faced Charley and Bogus Charley, the first and second chiefs of this trib al remnant, are still in authority,' and their commands are respected, but they no longer bear themsel ves with their former haughti ness. The males pass theirHime in drinking, smoking, shooting with the bow and arrow, playing ball,5 etc., evidently resolved to bestow no thought upon the mor row. Steamboat Frank has be come literary in his tastes, and is actually making some progress in learning to read.-. But the squaws are less reconciled to the change. The eyes of the Princess Mary filled with tears when the name of CaptainJack was mentioned, while the widow of the departed chief still blackens her face and lives in seclusion. The land re ceives little attention form the tribe, though fences have been put up in several, places. Woman's Sphere . Her true'and noblest sphere is that of wife and mother and mis tress of the family; and it should bo her first care to qualify herself ot the faithful discharge of the peculiar and almost countless du ties and responsibilities growing out of such high and holy rela tions. But is none the less her p ri vol ege ' a n d h e r d u ty to 1 m pro ve overy talent committed tocher keeping; and for that pnrpo3v she should devote whatsoever time she may have'at her disposal, ' wasting none of it in those; fashionable-follie? which dwarf 80 many hearts, destroy the peace of so many families, and .which so often blast body and reputation and soul, 1 The woman to whom Provi dence has i.ot committed the care of a family, the training of im mortal minds and souls in " the domestic circle, is surrounded perhaps by greater dangers, and should the more diligently culti- wnrs. Iia ivi l i nnr.lrini h rf t r some literary or scientific pursuit, or to some calling in which she can do the greatest amount of good under the guiding hand of God. Home and School.
