Vol. VI. WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 2, 1870. No. 44. THE HERALO 1i vLISD. EVERY WEDNESDAY MOtNING, At Newberry C. H., By Thos. F, & I, H, ronoker, Editors sad Proprietors. Invariably in Advane 0' Tht papor is stopped at the expiration of imto for whichs it is paid. r 'i H nark denotes expiration of sub OURS. It chanced on a beautiful summer night, When the moon was young, when the stars were briglit, And the blossonms slept in the tender light, And dreamed of the zephyr's sighs, That a wondrous spell in our home was wrought, Of hopes and fears and bewildering thought, By a fairy flower that an angel brought, From the gates of Paradiso. The south witd fluttered its perfumed wings, And essayed the song that the bulbul sings; And the firefly sparkled in mystic rings, Like lamps at a fairy ball; 'he young leaves, whispering sweet and low, In a tongue that only Dryads know, Mado love to the waves that danced below Tn the chant of the waterfall. ''he cloud-ships lay in the far-ofl' west, With their masts and spars and sails at rest, Or floated along in an idle quest Of sone bright Elysian isle And tiry gondolas here and there Flowed down the streams of the upper air, And moored their prows to te shadow stair Of some Gothic palace-pile. So the hours of that sunstner night were told. The starlight faded from river and wold, And morning, in garments of purple and gold, Awakened the sleeping earth But the cherub form, witi its face so fatir, Crowned with a glory of golden hair, Like the morning sunshine gleaming there, Still nestled beside our hearth. AFTER FIVE YEARS. Beauttiful sho looked, as sho lay there in quiet slumber on the sofa in the drawing room of tho How ard nansion, which is situated in ti tow i of I)epdale, in the east ern pmrt of Stffolk.

(Guy had como to soo old Mr. H oward On some maiitter's poertain ing to his lprofession (that of' a Ia wyer,) and had boon ushered in to the drawL~ing-room to await his aIppear'anco. T1h~e Onl the couch lay Helden lieward--asleep. Guy stood looking at bor when Mr. Ilowa,rd centered1 the room. ie seemed so considerably sturprised at wi tnessinig such a talelau. lie must have r'eadl the lovo-light in Guy's eyos, for lhe cr'ossed over' to him, laid his hand on his shoulder, and said, in a kind voice: "WilIford, you hove my dauigh ter'?

She wished then she could take back all the harsh words she had spoken. Not that ho had shown any suffering or sorrow; but that she herself experienced a lonely feeling, as if she had deprived her.. self of some good. And this was increased upon hearing his dopar ture for India, where he remained for five years or more. Her ftther guessed the cause of Guy Wilford's departure. Ho knew the man's noble nature, and that it was IIhen lhe . loved, not her money ; but ho said nothing when sho told him all about it. lclen was more brilliant than over that season : notwithstanding which ehe was always possessed with a dissatisfied foeling, which seemed to mar all pleasure. She could not define it. She had at first tried company its a remedy ; but she soon discovered faults and flaws in those whom she had con. sidored her friends. So, at last, she begged her father to take her abroad, which lie did. Three years passed beforo they I returned to l)oepdalo. They had f gone through nearly all the coun tries of the Continent, met with a great many now forms and faces, and yet Helen Howard was Helen Howard still. Old friends again flocked around her, and she throat oned to become as much a belle as of old. Rosa Carrington came to stay with her -a gushing bright young lady of eighteen or thereabouts. One evening a largo party had congregated on the lawn of the Howard mansion carrying on a perfet tide of conversation, wh, n Miss Rose exclaimed : "News-news I who can guess ? Brother Harry tells a good piece of news. The one who guesses shall have the first introduction." "Half told petite, Rosa," said Helen : "some one is coming. It I must be no less a personage than the Grand Mogul, to disturb my lady's equanimity so." Then there were cries of "Who? Who? We can never guess-let us know," etc., before Rosa would coudescend to satisfy their curiosi ty. "Well, you all remember Guy Wilford who flourished in this town about five year4 ago, and who left very suddenly for India? It is no less it person t han he come bacc, wealthy, polished, traveled --the handsomest man in the world, my brother says, with the form of an Apollo, the pride of Lucifer, the wealth of Croaosus, the-IIelen, are you ill ? What is the matter," she cried, as she hap. poned. to glance where Helen stood, and saw her reeling, and trying to support herself by the column. Guy Wilford was immediately forgotten and all attention now turned to IIelen. She soon re covered, excused herself on plea rf sickness, and retired to her ' room. "Why should I be0 so dis'ourbod because Guy Wilford has come ? [ don't love him. Pshaw I ['im She laid herself dIown in her bed mIn tried to sleep, for she felt weak rind fait. She was now possessed wtith a longing to see Guy which increased E avery (day. She heard no more of him until about two weeks a.fter' ltosai received intelligence thate ?luy WilIford woul d accompany er brother to the ball, which was o be givoni by one of the leading aimilies in the townt.

They had much to say to each other ; and though she danced lit. tie, and was in the company of ! him whom she had once termed presumllptuous, R h 0 afterwards 13pent pieasantly in his company five years. Rosa Carrington often visits Mrs. Wilford and declares thut she never saw such a case of "love at! first sight." liclen never told her what happened five years ago. SOCIAL 1IONOa.-Every person should cultivate a nice sense of honor. In at hundred different ways this most fitting adjunct of' the true lady or gentleman is often tried. For instance, one is a guest in a family where, perhaps, the I domestic machinery does not run I smoothly. There is sorrow in the house unsuspected by the outer world. Sometimes it is a dissipa ted son whose conduct is a shamo and a grief to his parents, some times a relative whose eccentrici ties and peculiarities are a cloud on the home. Or, worst of all, husband and wifu may not be in accord, and there may be often bitter words spoken, and harsh recriminations. in any of those cases the guest is in honor bound to be blind and deaf, so far as peo ple without are concerned. If a gentlo word within can do good, it may be well said ; but to go forth mnd reveal the shadow of an un happy secret to any one, even your friend, is an act of indelicacy tnd meanness almost unparalleled. D)nce in the sacred precincts of my home, admitted to its privacy, haring its life, all that you see tnd hear should become a sacred rust. It is as really contemptible o gossip about such things as it vould be to steal the silver or bor 'ow the books and forgot to return ,hem. SCIENTIFIc EDUcATIoN OF Wo uEN.-Fow have yet realized the )normous gain that will accrue to tociety from the scientific educa .ion of our women. If, as we are 3onstantly being told, the "5pheu )f woman" is at home, what duty an be more clearly incumbent ipon us than that of giving her ,ho opportunity of acquiring a c<nowledge of the laws which )ught to guide her in the rule of ior house ? Every woman on ,vhom the management of a house told devolves may profit by such ctlowledge.

I aint much of a band to repor what other folks say, and to tuak a clean job of it ; if I was I'd se down what Parson Bolles sal t'other day in evenin' meetitl about the women, and their tak ing hold of n'nost everythiur and turning old notions about we men havin' their phace, and mle folks havin' their place, topsy turvy. And that's true. Thur was it pioco I saw in the paper the other day-tho' in a genor way I don't put much couidone in what 1 soo in the papers about a woman somewhor in th West getting app'inted sheriff o jail-keeper, and goin' in amongs the rips they had shut up, an giving one or two of 'um an awfu wailin'. Tei chances to one, s'pose, if any woman over reallj (lid it ; but there's growin' to be considcrablo lot of 'em that wotk not object to dloiu' it, and witi their hand well in, I don't, inag ino they'd mako much of a dis tinction between folks shot up it jail, and a good many newspapei people. I don't know if the Parson ha( ever read that pieco in the paper I was speaking of-for ho don' read much, without its the Con gregationalist and the Weokl Currant-but be hit off somi things pretty well in his dis cou rse. Miss Pitkin thought he wa sarsy-so Jorushy says-and sai she had a great mind to take hoi umbril and go out o' meotin' ; au( I believe she would if she'd ha had her Sunday bonnet on ; but in my opinion, women have to bi considerable riled to face a con gregatiou with their old duds on I don't much believc in ovenin meetings myself; but Jorush3 wanted to go, and that boss-mtasot is off on a job up to the railroat works, to I went. I'va no idea what the text was and don't imagine the Parsot made much accon nt of it, thougl if Jerushy can tell, I'll make t note of it afore I got through. Texts don't amount to much anyhow nowadays. Parsons gel kinks in their heads like othei folks, and then hunt up a text tc zplice 'en to. It's pretty mueh like a little sprinkling o' sage ii 3ausage mont, after it's all chopp ad, and peppered, and salted. It ives a little twang that makes it ,aste like last year's sausage and ivery body else's sausage moat ; but I don't know as it makes it keep any better. Old Uncle 'Liphalet, when he was woodia' along in the winter, used to save out quite a little lot >' white oak crooks-some of one shape and some another, and bore iolos in 'em, and get 'em well sea 3oned, so's ho could tack 'em ulp igainst the sides o' his shop to bang tools or old harness 'n ; and ts pretty much so, to my notion, that your parsons, in wadin'along blroughi scriptur', save ou t little uits with a goodl turn to 'em, and1( <eop) by 'em to hang discourses m,; and i've knowna 'em, that, forn ,ho sake o' a little change, would ,ake downi an old discourse, pet ty' :obwebby, and (lust it up a little, mdt hang it on a new peg. Ilowevri, Parson Belles never' weachecd that discourse afore, not liat I've heard on. lie saidl that 1c thought that if God had in ten led men andl women to (10 the amoe t hings, ieo would1( have made om just alike ; but lie dlidnI't, and( io thanked God for that; and here was a little Methodist wo nan in the next pew to ourn who aid "Amen" so you might have eerd her half down the aisle. A nd, says the Parson-says lie -it's because they are so diffor'ent hat they like each other so much, md respect each other so much; ,nd, says lie, the more you see a nan take to womanish ways, the osis the woman folks incline to vard him ; and the more a woman oecomes manish, the less likely le meni are to run after and to dmiro her. You may turn it a)! vays you've a mind to, says lie, mit the more you break down the ifferenco, the less love there is 'otwvoon 'em. There's some women, says ho, hat has got~ a man's ways of talk n' andl blusterin' round, and tak n' 1h01( 0' politics, and general ut-o'-dloor things, in a way to ankoe a man's hair stand on end; nmd thog aire mighty smart wo en, to, say's lie ; and .I ain't no ind o' objection to their using all lie talents, and just the sort o' alents, that the Lord has given a 'em ; but I thank theo Lord that Il womien aint madt(O upl ini that kay ; for if they was, says ho, I kink ther'd'( bo as much of' a earth of' families as there was in odom after the brimstone came own. i'm sayin' not.hin' against that tyle o' women, says he ; they 're erriblo smart, and thley're terri. lo active ;but it ain't thle sort o' mnartness, says lie, that draws man on wh'lo wants to make a omn andl a faimilv. Thnvie are ex cejtiou, says ho. Folks that rateu poultry, says he, have some times told mue that they've had a t gander, tho' pretty rar', that o would set on eggs and look after t goslings saume as if he was i hen I goose ; and they've sot lots by those ganders ; but I don't think, -says he, ator all, they had much respect for 'em, and looked upon them other ways than a sort o' Saeccident fbr which the Lord was - to be thanked, and to be thanked 3 still more that 'twas an accident. H Every body to their business, I I says the Parson ; but, says he, I know there's folks that say wen haven't a right to lay down what's the proper busiuoss o' womon, a.d r what aiu't; and that she's been t cooped up too long, and she's got I it right to (10 all she ean well I whatever 'tis. I haven't uodoubt [ of it ; and I haven't no doubt that r she's had too hard a time all aloug, t o a good many ways; audI thank the Lord that new p aths at'e open t in' to her. But I don't waut, for - my part, to see her goi' into - any path, no matter h'ow stitf she t walks in it, whor she'll kindle less love and affection than she dos in the old ways. And if she I does-and there's a sort o' preach 3 in' that looks like it--she'll lose t, in the long run moro'n she'll gain; - and the man will lose mtoro yet. I dun't lay down no rules, says he, about their proper business, - for the Lord made 'em, and not we ; but, if it don't comeu into her 3 line to be gentle, and what we I call womanly, thou the Lord help us I I In the long run, says he, the gentlo forces toll tromedously, and in uy opinion, says he, a we man can't go too far in that line, - any more than a man can go too fur in being tough, and knotty, and hard-working. Jerushyt says the text was in Peter :'That if any obc.y not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of their wivos." It's a likely enough text, but don't give much ideo about the discourse. S'EAK KINULY To TuY MOTHER. -Young man, speak kindly to your noher, and courteously, tenderly, of her. But a littlu time and you shall see her no more for evove'. leir eye is dim, and her florim is bent, and her shadow falls toward the grave. Others may love you fondly ; but never again while time is yours, shall any one's love he to you as that of your old, trembling, weakened mother has been. Through helpless infancy her throbbing breast was your safe protection and support; in way ward, testy boyhood, she bore pa tiently with your thoughtless rudeness: she nursed you safely through a legion of ills and mala dicR. 11er hand bathed your burning brow, or moistened your parched lips ; her eye lighted up the dark ness of nighitly vigils, watching sleepless by your side as none bit her could wvatch. Oh, speak not her name lightly, for yon cantnot live so manty years as would( suf-' fico to thank her fully. Th rough a reckless andl i mpat ient youth, she is youttr coun rsellor and solace.
