ED E IL , .Ct NOVEMBERh~ VO.19,N. 5 - n aTHE MGMT AT O=. The light at home! how bright it beams When venturing shades around us fall; And froth the lattice far it gleams, To love, and rest and comfort call. When wearied with the toils of day, And strife for glory, gold or fame, How sweet to seek the quiet way, Where loving lips will lisp ouir name Around the light at home. When through the dark and stormy night, The wayward wanderer homeward hies ; How cheering is that twinkling light, Which through the forest gloom he spies. It is the light at home; he feels That loving hearts will greet him there, . And softly through his bosom steals The joy and love that banish care Around the light at home. The light.at home! whene'er at last It greets the seaman through 'he storm: He feels no more the chilling. blast~ That beats upon his manly form. Long years upon the sea have fled, Since Mary gave her parting kiss, But the t, ars which then she shed Will now be paid with rapturous bliss, Around the light at home. The light at home! how still and sweet It peeps from yonder cottage door The weary laborer to greet When the rough toils of day are 'Ar. Sad is the soul that does not know The blessings that the beams impart, The cheerful hopes and joys that flow, And lighten up the heaviest heart Around the light at home. A -TOUCHIING STORL. From the New York Five Point's Monthly Review, we select the tollowing scene front real lile: A few Sundavs since at morning service, one I of the most degrading Qpecimens of iumanity that ever greeted my vision, came staggerin? into the chapel of the house of industry. Ilis wrild and frightful looks and raged and dirty beyoml description, his face bruised and swolen, le seemed to look at the children with won. derful interests, iccsion:illy mutlterintg to imi self, beautiful! beautiful ! Oh, that mine were here!' He sat an hour or two more and then, with a long eariest look at the children stag. gered out of the chapel, went up to the dark valley of the shadow of death"-Cow Bay. As ihe bell rang for service in the atternoon, and while the children were clustering together, the same wild-looking mati st:iggered in onceI more. le zurveyed the faces of the clidren with the cloe.t serntiny, and at lergth lis eyes rested on two bright eyed little girls., who we:re singilig one of their tittle iymnl.a. Ile sat imO movable as a statute during tiwt whole service. gazing intently on the faces of these two chil dren. The service closed, tile congregation disper-.4 ed yet he lingured; and tile tears counmg down J his face thick and ft:st. - Dr. S. --akd him "what wasthematter? 1 :.Im a drutkand! a wrech-an outeast, homeltss, and w ithnut a penny. Once I had a honie and iriend-father, mother. wife, children and hosts of friends, who loved and respected me. T _me p_ ACe on, and I became a drunkar ! One frierd after atmother left me; still I dratnk on. and down and clown and down I felt. Faither and mother' welt clown to their graves with broken hearts. M1y poor wife cluntg to mte when all others deserted me. I still drank on, pawn ed one article after anothler til all was gone. when my wvife refused to give nme her weddinig ring, wh lich she had clung to witht the temnactty of av death grasp I felled her to the eairth,. seized her finger, tore otT the ring and pawned IL fomr rum. Thlat fatal blow maddetned her, antd, it despair, she drank, and together we wallowed in the gutter. P'enni,e.s, we begged our way from Vermoint to thts city. liere we hired a small cellar, in a daxrk and disma.ul street, and sent our children out to beg. Many a wveary day we spent in that dreary cellkr, thiile our childrctt were wadeiigit the stetbegging for teir drun ken parenlts. About forty days since, my little childrt n went out to big, and from that hour to this, I have not seen them. Withouut foiod or fire, I have clung to the dismal aboide. till hun ger forced toe out to search for my children. My degraded wife lhas been sent to lBlackwell's Island'as a vairrant and alone I went to thme Is land, to the Hlouse of Reform, to the TUtIts, and in despair I wandered to the Five Points, and for thme laist few days I hatve lived in Cow Bay, aumong begwars atnd thieves.

" Tell me thle name," said Dr. S.-" and I will see." . . . In - few momnts two interesting utile cliii 'dren were led towa:rd hitm.. At the sight of thik fearful lookitng mant they shraink baick. The p1oor maln pan to his feet, exchaluine. "*They are mitne, tny dear chmildren,. don't yoiu kmnow your poor old father? come to me tmy chtildre'n; father loives you, he won't hurt you." lie reached out his arms; the little oines we're timid at first, but they soon climbed up their father's .knee while tile tears were streaumng dowtn his faee. . "Kiss your poor drtunken, father my childen." But the face. of the matn was so black and filthy, not a place could be foutnd. Soon thley forg'ot the diirty face, and remembered their poor degraded father: and each entwinin their little .armis around his neck, and fondly kissing himo, the eldei-cone said, with a voice thaut toutched every heart, "Fther we are so happy here that we want, to stay,-won t you come and live here too, unati?--What makes ymu dritnk so? Deatr papa dlo sign the pledge, anid not drink any more. Mr. Pease found me 10 the street beg. ging, and now, we feel happy. Do papa, come and live here, and be as good as you u-ed To he father's heart, was overwhelmed-he sobbed and groaned aloud. For more than an homur they sat together, till itt laist the old1 mall arose, still elinging to his ehildren, and exclhim-i ed. "the pledge! the pledge !

BY REQUEST. THE DANCING-MSTER. a In M---, in the year 1829, 1 became acquaint- b ed with a young man who was known as a danciog master. le was very polite, and paid marked respect to religious persons, when in a their company. le was tile son of religious I parents in one of the Northern States, but had. 6 forsaken the God of his fathers; and his man- 11 ner of living was free, as might be expected ti from his calling. A few nionths after I became acquainted with 0 him. he was taken ill, though it was supposed not dangerously. But at the end of about ten dayi he tuok suddenly under the elTects of n medicine, owing, as I wa.I told, to his system being impaired by dissipa:nn. In this state I d was called to see him, about fifteen ninutes be fore his death. After speaking tenderly to him d of faith in Chri-t, to which he seemed to be a stranger, I offered prayer for him at his own re- r quest. Immediately after this he pointed to his violin. that lay near his bed, and said to me, -1Burn that, for it has been the cause qf my ruin." He spoke no more to any pelson in the I room; but, looking towards heaven, lie exclaim- ri ed sever:l times even as long as he could speak. a Is there no me1rcy for me?" and died as the I words died away on) his lips. The suddenness 0 of this young nan's death--for he had no ap- a prehension of its apiroacli till about the time I was called to see him-the c.ndition in which I he died, ilte reileration of the words, " Is there h no mercy for me ?" the peculiar indescribable tone with which they were uttered, made an , iapression on my mind that will never be eflTc e. ed.-Anericin Mess-inger. t And yet some profelssedly religious people think the dancing m:aster quite a proper person age, and even patronize him! Could they be ad- a nitted to a view of the doom of such fjivolous and trifling charA-ters. they would soon change their opinions. It is to be feared that many of Ci their rligiozs p:trons will share their fale. fu CIIANDPiIPAS. Reader, is your grandfather living ? You say he is, but very old, and infirm ?

Let us ;tnte a few facts which iag aid in forming an )pinion. There are about, 800 counties, and not far lrom 9,900 towns, in thathirtv-one States com osing the Union. Etey town has one politi al club of each party,-end many towns have nany more. There were undoubily during the ast canvass over 15.0006rganized clubs, belong. ng to each of the politidal parties within the Jiited States:-tho nu!1ber of Fremont clubs nay have been 5,000 les;, since the Republican ,rganization did not extegd into the Slave States. Bach or these clubs waniin active operation for it least three mnondhs. Each of them required -ooms, printing, postage,. more or less traveling f their officers and commi.tec:--and these, with ther incidental expenses, could not have imounted, on the averagp, to less than $100 a nonth,-nr $300 for thi canvass. Tue labors erformed by their seeretaries, presidents and ommittees would certainly amount to the ten. ly services of at least -Ihree men each, worth oL less than $100 each; for the whole three nonths. Not loss than-1.000 persons have been etively engaged, for nearly the whole of the anvas.4, in making speeches and public addres es,-traveling from plade to place, and always It n expense which mut be met by somebody, -and entitled, of course, to have their own ser ices estimated at a fair price :-probably .500 or each, including their expenses, would not be low estimate.

Philanthopy is the pretence under which Brit ish intermeddlers profess to sympathize with i the mad schemes o( abolitionism in the United i States. How baseless is such a pretence is fully I demonstrated by the Irish census tables just pub- i lished. Think of twenty-one thousand human i beings perishing from starvation in one year in I Ireland, and then think of the amazing hypocri- I sy which induces British philanthropists to mourn i over the imaginary sufferings of the well-fed, well.elnd, and contented slaves in the southern I States. We copy from the Albany Atlas and i Argus: - "AN APPEALING F4CT I-The Irish census ta- < bles just publish- d report that in one year there < were 21,775 deaths from starvation ! The edi- I tor of the Meical Times, eommenting upon 1 this app-illing statement, says; u The figure z must be far short of the truth. The harrowing I details given in the body of the report leave no doubt that multitudes perished by the wayside i and- in the clieerless Irish hovel, whom neither ( policemen nor coroner's inquest ever took note c of." "These victims of starvation were the small t tenants and cottiers who were thrgit from their i homesundera system of etiction like that which t the Duchess of'Southerland has recently put in. t to force. and they have been left to die on the v wayside. There has been going on in Ireland t of late years a social and property revolution, t by which the lit tle l'rms and holdings have been I swept away, and the country turned into large ( forms, ivorked by machinery and by hired labor. F "The poor tenets have no where to go, for c there is no system of poor-houses in Ireland v such as there is in England, and these poor e creatures, arer begging from door to door on 8 a weary round, die in the ditches at the wayside. a " At this very tin a British fleet is hovering I off'the const of Naples, pretending to find a just f cause of war in the conduct of its King to his P subjects. But were the lazzaroni of Naples the e victims of a policy as cruel as that of England, li King Bomba would not reign a day. "'The press and the people of England howl I over the wickedness of American slavery. Did n the reenrd of American slavery show over 20,000 p victims of starvation in a year, a servile insur- n reetion woild terminate it forever. " England is the hendquarters of mock phil. anthropy and cant. She is ever arraigning the t nations of the earth before her, and condemning t1 them. But it is in order to divert attention from her own wounds that she is thus ever pointing b to the sores of others."-Washington Union. f INTERESTING OCCAsToN.-On Sunday last we ti were present, and partook of the most interest- b ing scene that it has ever fallen to our lot.

At a mass meeting in Atlanta, on Thursday vening, the 16th inst., of which we have already nade mention, an incident occured which called :o n conspicuous position-a young man, a native >f Charleston, but who has for some time been ichieving distinction in.the West. Mr. James U. Calhoun addressed the meeting; behind im was a portrait of Washington, and when he :losed his address which was a short and good >ne, the assembly gave three cheers for South ,arolina, and R. G. Moses, Esq., being recog uised in the crowd, was called out. Those who inve ever heard him will not need to be remind. -d of his stirring eloquence. Few men in this :untry are so eloquent when the occasion hap. >ens t inspire him. We have been furnished vith the following report of his remarks, but ire assured that it conveys but little of what eally thri.led his hearers for about half an hour: I must thank you for the cheers you have ,iven to South Carolina; not because South arolina requires this enthusiastic endorsement f her course to do her honor, but because it Is n indication that the spirit of Georgia is right pon the Southern question! lam not unmind ul of the fact, that in 1850, when popular ora. ors were endeavoring to force the people to bow heir n-eks to the yoke of submiesion, that di. ision of South Carolina was "the harp of a ousand strings" on which they played, and hat Georgians gave a responsive echo to the ey note. With this fact before me, as a South arolinian, I cannot but acknowledge the comd liment paid to her to-night. When, upon the onclusion of Mr. Calhoun's speech, I saw this ast multitude rise to their feet and give three heers for South Carolina, it convinces me that he is derided, only, when the people are to be Dhooind into submission, and that when the onl of honor is to be reached by a manly de .nee of Southern rights, South Carolina is ointed to as a bright example worthy of your mulation! For this reason, as a South Caro. nian, I congratulate myself on the enthusias ie reception which you have given to her son. Ls far.as that gallant State is concerned, she eeds the endorsement of no people. Your raises cannot elevate her - your detraction can ot lower her; she has her title deeds to fame raced in the blood of the revolution; her soil a cemetery of martyrs; there is but.one State iat can rival her In her claims to national grati ade, and that is old Virginia. They are alike, too, in this. That you may lot out the history of each, reserving a single age, and they ivill yet have enough of glory ft to entitle them to the brightest niche in the mple of American fame. Virginia, because lie was the birth place of Washington, the Fa. er of his Country, whose portrait hangs upop iy right! and South Carolina, because she was ie birthplace of John C. Calhoun, whose. dis. niuished relative site pon Mylef$ ow at fgguong to maintain; te oter - de Is brilliant life to-their defence. The ashes of Vashington are inured beneath Virginia's soil, ie manes of Calhoun are sepulchred In the eart of his political mother, South Carolina ; nd it matters not how favoring fortunes may bandon her, her enemy may deride her, the iemory of Calhoun is enough, always, and on. or all circumstances, to 'rescue her from obliv. in and from dishonor. His life was a series of ?rsenal sacrifices and brilliant intellectual sue !sses in defence of constitutional liberty. In is dying hour lie left a record worthy to be the nitative model upon which future statesmen iould be formed; he had established for him. Af t world-wide fame, the. State of his nativity >ved him for his acts, almost to adoration, and et in his dying hour, at the very moment that D was about to be summoned before his God, a uttered a sentiment of Roman greatness, tat eclipsed even the glory of his life, and what -as it ? it was thi: lie, who had enshrined imseif in the hearts of his people by devotinga oig life to their libertie's, when the scene was out to close on him forever, prayed for one 'ur more nf lye, not that flattery might fawn round him, oh no! but that lie might devote 'at h i:r to his country ! Linguage cannot de ribe the sublimity of the aict, thought cannot Ethomt the greatness of the soul that conceived It was Calhoun-his memory belongs to oth Cairolina-and with this her'tage, her ory is destined to be as eternal as time.

GooD SENsE.-Good sense, or what isu1aially called common sense, is the basis of good taste.. It teaches a man in the firt place that two el. bows are highly inconvenient infie world; and, in the second,-that the fewer people yuu JoAsti on the road of life the greater your chance of success among men or women. It is not ne cessary that a common sense man need bi'a. unimaginative one; but it is necessary that hi. imagination should be well regulated. Good taste springs from good sense, because.the latter enables a man to understand at all times pre cisely where he is, and what he ought to do under the circumstances of his situation. Good taste is a- just appreciation of the relationship and probable effects of ordinary, 'as,well as'ex-0 traordinary things; and no man can have itiun less he is in the habit of considering -hisou position, and planning his own actions with coolness and accuracy.

IsN'T it very affecting to behold at a'wedding the sorrow-strick'en air of a parent as he "gives his bride away" when you know that for the last ten years he has been trying to get her off. his hands.
