Light up with that smile of yours
Those long talked-of better days j
Rest awhile that weary hand,
And come sit beside my knee, '
' While we talk of scenes so grand ' 1
When my ship eomes home from sea t
You shall dress in silken robes, , .
Trimmed with laces rich and fins,
. And the brightest, rarest gems ,
Shall upon your bosom shins t

As ths Duke's upon the square, .. "
And the princes of the land . !'
Shall kneel low and eall you fair.

When my ship comes horns from sea I
Then, those ladies that to-day '
Cast their scorn full in your facs,
Drove you harshly from their way,
Will discover every grace
That I've kuown and loved so long, .
And will weave it into song 1
Ths sweet story of your eyes, , ,' '
Your meek, dove-like, woman's eyes,
And your hair so soft and brown,
In rich masses falling down, '
And your fairy hands and feet.
But, wifie dear, ,
It does seem so queer to me, . , .
That to-day this very day ,
When they met you in ths street, . r
They were all too blind to ses . M.
Beauty In youf sweeteat face,
And did call you coarse and old. ( ,
But never mind it, Josie dear, ' .
Yoit can buy your praise with gold j .
They (will crowd to make you free .

Beir their scorn a litHe longer, ' '

known to carry off a young baby to his

He is a great study for artists, but ap

Harpers' Monthly tells the following
good one upon the Rev. VV. P. Strickland,
a Methodist preacher, well known to the
t a 0
people Hereabouts; .
The Rev. Dr. Strickland ia ono of the
editors; of, the Christian Advocate and
Journal of this city, a Methodist p per of
gnat circulation and power. We have a
cnpiiol story to tell on the Doctor, and long
will it lie before he will hear tho last of
it. e often hear of men getting into
the wrong pew ; rarely of getting into
tho wrong pulpit. Of this latter blunder
our ury.i4o tell., -
A low Sabbaths ago the Doctor . was
over in Newark, New Jersey, where he
was to supply the pulpit ot the Clinton
Street; Methodist Churvh. He left his
ludgiugs in the mqrmtitr. iust about time
for the services, and, ! with one of the I
nieoibers for his , guide, he walked to
Clinton Street ; but just before reaching;
the house his companion was met by a
friend, who stoppeu him for a moment's
conversation. The preacher moved on,
and, reaching the church, walled LnVaud'
up the aisle, when he perceived that a
wronger, wnonj lie presume to be one
of tlie locul preachers, was already in the
pulpit. . Nothing daunted, he marched up
into the pulpit and took his 'teal,, while the
other man went on with the introductory
services. Dr. Strickland now concluded
that us he did not reach Newark until lute
the previous evening, the congregation
had becared another aupply, and lie there
fore determined to sit quietly und hear
the diMure, which would soon be forth,
coining. . - ,
The man in possesion, however, was
even more surprised thun brother Strick
land. as the new-comer a crazy man
who hud wandered up there? Certainlv
there was something liery iu his eye.
Perhapi he might become violent jf told
to leave. . But tomething rriuit bo done.
that was certain ; and while the people
were fringing, the, incumbent turned , to
the Doctor, and said, in , very gentle
terms: ... 1
I bjlieve I have not the pleasure of
your acquaintance,' ,
'My name is . btrickland, said the
Doctor, with an emphasis on the name
thai hf was sure would make him known.
i The incumbent shook h' head, and
seemed lost in thought; when all at once
it flashed on the new-comers mind that
he might have come into the wrong house.
Thia ia the Methodist Church, is it
not?" asked the anxious Doctor.
" Not a bit of it," said the other ; " you
are in the pulpit of the Congregational
Church. The Methodist church is a lit
tle farther down the street," ;
" Well, I must beg your pardon for thia
intrusion ; I had no design of abandoning
my own denomination so suddenly, and!
will bid you good morning." ,
At that juncture the sexton came up to
inform Dr. Strickland that a friend was
waiting for him at the door ! ' He made
his way out as gracefully as ha could, and
in five minutes was thundering in the
walls of another house.

Opening of the Land Ofllce,
agnln.
We have another rumor that the Tub
lio Lauds in this district aro to bo rrstor
ed to market very soon, and this time, ap
parently, with a better foundation tlinn no
fore. Jt appears that the report to that
effect, which caino here two or three
months ago, was based upon mi actual de
cision of tho depnrtment ; the orders hav
ing been already mndo out for carrying it
into effect, . when, upon further consul
talion. it was re-considercd and the order
suspended i That since then, tho matter
has again been under consideration, and
thai measure positively determined upon
nil s'eps being actively taken for perfect
ing the allotment of railroud lands, and
other preliminaries to opening the Land
Ofliees for private entry in January or by
the (ir.t of Tebrunry next.
Thia will bo good news to a large num
ber waiting to procure lands in this dis
trict, and to all interested in the progress
of tho country. We give iho report as
we have received it, that all interested
may be prepared for a probable event, as
the source whence it comes is entitled to
credit. It is a measure which has been
so long contemplated and looked for, that
it is not reasonable now to expect ft much
longer delay at any rato. If the Govern
ment intends ever to re&lore its lands to
market as it undoubtedly does we can
not see any good reason lor with-holding
them longer. Council Bluffs Dvgle. ' .

man in giving some touching instances of
he devotion of wives to husbands who had
been sent to the State Prison, soys: , .
' In connection with these instance! of
woman's devotion, we may mention the
singular fact, communicated to ua by a
State Prison Inspector of long experience,
that duiiug his term of oll.ee only one
husband of a prisoner ever called at the
prison to see his wife. . There are, pf
course many married woiceu confined for
rriiue ; but their husbands iuvariably de
sert them in their troubles. Ou the oth
er hand, a large majority of the married
male nisouers are visited con.-tundv and
condoled with by their sorrowiug wives.,
And yet bow muuy of these poor women
have suffered harshness and brutality
from the hands of their criminal hus
bands! Such is a woman a devotion.
such is a man's heartleaness. There js

or CoMoacsa. The Washington corres
pondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer thus
addresses himself to the wives of mem
bers of Congress: ' ! : ,ir ' '
" The truth is, and my experience I
mean my observation, confirms it, that do
wife should allow hef husband to come
here without accompanying him, and while
here sticking with liim like wax. It is a
place of seducing temptations which the
sinrier don't pretend to resist, and the
righteous can hardly flee from by regular
fasting and prayer. ' Wives, stick to your

Condition or the Atlantic' Ca dle.
The whole of the cable that remainod on
the Niagara, after the accident, has been
landed. Ibo London Tost of November
2d, ay: ' ' : ' "
' The pjrtion of the cable has been
safely stowed away iu large vats, having
been passed through oil, in ordtr u pre
serve it from ihe effects of tho fust, 'flue
whole of the cable ha not yet bocu tested
but in several parts it has been found to
be hiiperfect, und a considerable . portion
of it mil require to ho replaced by a new
wire.'
The Agamemnon will commence at
once the delivery of her portion of the
cable at Keyhani. Mr. Bright, the engi
neer of the company, has proceeded to
Valentia with a small vessel to recover
the 400 mites of cable which was lost in
the late attempt to lay it. The shore end
of tho cable, consi.tm. of the I.eavior
portion.'can be under-run without great
j-.t .1... ... i . . a. .
uinicu.iiy, anu n is, expected that Hio whole
of the smaller line will also be recovered.
How far the recovered portion may yet
be made available will of course depend
entirely upon the condition iu which they
ma v be when recovered. '.K -v
A very la mo auantitv of new cable
will be required, even if the whole of that
present made were perfectly sound, as no
attempt to submerge the line will be made
without a very much larger quantity of
