TWO DOLLARS 1>ER ANNUM. } GOD -A.1ST? OTJjR COUNTRY. WAYS IN ADVAJTC?. VOLUME 3. SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 5, 1869. KOT AT UO?lfi. An olderiy mau, shabbily attired, was Men walking through one of the fash ionable streets in a large city one cold De cember day. His coat was of coarse grey, and had seen hard service, though perfectly whole and ucut. The traveler * walked slowly along as I have said, ex amining carefully as he passed the names on the door-plates. He finally paused before a dwelling of ?howy exterior, which, if wo may credit the testimony of the plato upon tho door, was occupied by Alexander Beaumont "Alexander Bcuuuiont! yes, that's =the house," murmured the traveler to himself, as he ascended the steps uud rang the door boll. His summons was auswercd by a ser vant, who, after a moment's scrutiny, which apparently was uot of a very fav orable oharactor, suid roughly : "Well, air, what do you want V* "Ic Mr. Beaumont at home ?" asked tho old man, without heeding the inten tional rudeness. "No, sir, he is not." "Then perhaps I can see his wife ?" "I think it is very doubtful, but I will go and sec." Tho servant withdrew without asking the old man to enter, though the day was very cold and his clothing seomcd ?to be hardly sufficient to protect him from its inclemency^ Mrs. Beaumont was reclining on a fautcuil in a room haudsoutcly furnished. TFho lust magazine was in her hand, and her eyes were listlessly glancing over its pages. She was interrupted in her read ing by the entrance of the servant. "Well, what now, Betty V she in <quircd. "There is a man down stairs wants to *cc yuu, ma'am." ? "Man ! u gentleman, yon mean ?" "No, ma'am." said Betty, stoutly, lor she well understood what made up geu jfe liemeu in tho- conventional souse oi the |mften:i : "it irin't a' ?rentleinau at till, for "What can ho want of me?" "I don't know ; he inquired alter Mr. Beaumont first." ??You didn't briny him in tho parlor, did you '!" The girl .shook her head. "You did right, und you'd better tell him I'm not at homo." "Mrs. Beaumont is not at home," said Betty, re-appearing at the door. "I suppose that means she is engaged," ttaid the old man; "I think she will see me when she knows who I am. Toll her I am her husband's uncle, uud my name is ITcnry Beaumont." "That old ra^uatf* master's uncle," Said Betty, wondering as she ru-asccuded the stairs. "Good Heavens! exclaimed her mis tress. "It uin't that old veteran who strolled off years ago, nobody knows where. I did hope he would never come back agaiu. And now I suppose he is as poor as a rat and wants help. Well, ho won't get it if 1 can help it; hut I sup pose I must see him. The lady descended, fully prepared to give the visitor a frigid reception. "I am not mistaken," sit id tho old man With feeling; "It's Alexander's wife." "You ?ftj right, etr. I am the wife oi Mr. Alexander Beaumont, uud I suppose from your language you aro? "His uncle, Henry. Ah, me I I have been gouc so many years, and it dues mc good to return to my kindred." The old man leaned ou bis staff and his features worked convulsively as thoughts of tho past came over his mind Mrs. Beaumont stood holding the door as if waiting for him to depart. She did not give him any invitation to enter. "Is your husband well f" inquired the visitor, looking in, as if ho expected an iuvitutiou to outer und refresh himself after his walk, by an interval of rest. "He is. If you have any message for him you may leave it with mc, aud I will deliver it," said Mrs. Beaumont, acsirous oi ridding herself of the intruder us spocdil/ as possible. '?Ynu may tell him I have callod," ftaid the visitor in a disappointed tone, "and that I would liked to have seen him." "I will toil lilmj" and Mrs. Beaumont was about to close the door. "Hold! there is one question more What has become of Alexanders sister Annn ?" -I don't know mueh about her," was the rather disdainful reply ; "but I think the married a clerk, a mechanic, or some such person. His uuiue is Lows, and lives in Norton street. Is that ull V "That is all I*? The old man turnod his steps toward tho street indicated, with many forebod ings least his second visit might prove as unwelcome as his first appeared to be. "Betty," said Mrs. Beaumont, as ehe closed the door, "if that old fool comes again, be sure aud not forget to tell him I am not at homo." Norton street was not a fushionahle street, nor was the two story dwelling oc cupied by William Lowe either hund BGuic or costly. It was marked, however, by an air of neatness, which indicated thut its tenants were not regardless of its outside nppcuraucos. We will take the liberty of introduc ing you into u little sitting room where Mrs. Lowe aud her three children were now set ted. A plain serviceable carpet covered the floor, aud the remainder of the furniture, though of a kind which would hardly be selected for a drawing room, ha d a comfortable, homelike ap pearance, which simply satisfied the de sire of those who derived their happi ness from a higher and less mutable force thun outside show. Mrs. Lowe was seated in a rocking chair, engaged iu un employment which I am aware is tabooed iu all fashionable .society. I moan darn ing stockings. Kmnin, a girl of ten, was brushing up the hearth, which the ashes from tho grate, in which a blazing fire was now burning, had somewhat disordered, while Mary, who was two years younger was reading. Charley, a little rogue of five, with a smiling face which could not help looking roguish, was stroking the cat the wrong ?ay, much to the disturbance of poor Tubby, who had settled herself diiwu tu pleasant dreams upon the hearth rug. All at oacc a Usttd knock was heard at the d air. "jiimun," said .,ie mother, "you may go to the door aud sec who it is, and iu l'ICIU ^*or ^ *a?a C0^ day." "Ia Mrs. Lnwc at home?" iuquircd Henry Beaumont?for it was Iuj. '?Yea, sir,'' said Kmtua, please walk in Mild you may see her." She ushered the old man into the com fortable sitting-room. Mrs. Lowe arose to receive him. ??1 believe." he said, "I'm not mistak en iu thinking that your name bet?re marriage was Anna Beaumont." "You are right, sir, that was my name." . "And yuu have no recollection of an Uliele that wuudered away from home and from whom uo tidings has come for many long year?" '?Yes, sir, I remember him well?my uncle" Henry, and I have many times wished I could heaf something from him. Can you give me uny informa tion ?" '?] can, f.r I am he." "You my uucle ?" said M.-s. Lowe, in surprise, "then you are indeed welcome, i Kuima. bring your uncle the arm chair and place it close to the fire; and Mary, bring your father's .slippers, for I'm sure your dear uncle must long to get off those heavy boots. And now, uncle, when you are quite rested, I must de mand a recital of your adventures. "But your brother, Alexander," inter rupted Mr. Beaumont, "let me first in quiro about him. He lives in the city now, does he not V A light cloud came over Mrs. Lowe's fuce. "Yes," she said, "he docs livo in the city ; yet. strange as it may appear, I ?seldom or ucver sco h:m. Ho has suc ceeded well and is wealthy : but ever siuce he married a wife with a small property aud greater prido, he has kept aloof from us. I do not hluinc him so much as his wife, wh > is said to have great influence over him. I called once, but she treated me so coldly that I have not felt n disposition to renew my visit." ' I can eitsily believe it," was the ic p!y, "for I, too, have been repulsed." "Yuu repulsed !" Did you give your name and inform her of your relation to her husband ?" "I did, but she did not invite me to enter ; and she was evidently impatient for me to be gone; I took the hint, and here I am." j "At least, uncle," said Mrs. Lowe, smilingly, "jou ueed not be afraid of any repulse here." "Uf that I urn quite sure," said the gontlcman, looking affectionately into the face of his niece. "But you h ive uot told mc of your husband. Let ??? know whether you have a good match," ho added playfully. "That depends on what is meant by the term. If it implies a rioh husband, I have failed most oertaiuly, for Wil liam's salary is only eight hundred dol lars a year, and that is what we have to depend upon. But fur all that I care not, for a kind, aflectionuto husband is of j far more worth than a magnificent house and tho most costly furniture" "You aro right," said her uncle, warmly, "and I infer that your husband is ol such a character." "Ho is, in truth." "Still," continued her uncle, "there must be something which your limited income will not permit you to obtain, but which would be desirable, is there not ?" "Yes," said Mrs. Lowe, "I am anxious to give Emma and Mary a musical edu cation, but William's means will not al low of any such extravagance as the pur chase of a piano: so that is ono of the things which we must be coutcuted to deny ourselves." Mr. Lowe then entered, and being in formed of the character of his visitor ho extended a hearty wclcomo. A comfortable reptiBt was then spread, of which Mr. Beaumont readily partook His spirits rose, and he seemed to grow younger as ho saw the cheerful faces around him, and felt himself at home Soon alter the evening meal he rose to depart. "Surely you arc not going V said his niece, "you must henceforth Like up your abode with us." "We will see about that, and if you don't think }*ou will get tired of me per haps I will come. But I have hired a lodging and muse uudoubtedly remain in it for a few days." "But you must call in every day and make yourself perfectly at home, even before you come here to stay," persisted his niece. "Bo assured of that." In accordance with his premise. atWUVttiV"octuek, ana was received as cord-ally as before. He had already bceu in the house a quarter oi an hour when a loud rap was heard at the door. She beheld two men who hud just driven up in a wagon. Where is tho piano to be put, ma'am ?" they inquired. 'Piano? You have made a mistake; we have not purchased a piano." ?'Isn't your name li'-we ?'" "Yes." ? Then it is all right. .Jim. bear a hand for it's confounded heavy." But I am quite sure there must bo sumo mistake," still insisted the per plexed Mrs. Lowe. ? "Not at all," said a loud voice behind her. ? She turned around in amazement." ?'You know," continued tho uncle. "that I am going to come and live with you, and I thought I would pay board in advance, that is all. As you expressed a wish yesterday for a piano, I thought it would -be as accoptablo a way as any," '?You, uncle! Why?excuse mc? but I thought from?from?" "You mean," said ho smiling, "that you thought from my appearance that I could not afford it And I confess," said ho casting u glaube at himself in the glass, "that iny dress ia not in the extreme of fashion, aud in fact I was obliged to look sometime when I called at the second-hand clothing store the other day before I could find these. However, as I have got all the service I wish out out of them. 1 shall throw them aside to-morrow, and appear more rospoc tably clad " "What! are you wealthy, uncle ?" "Depend upon it, Anna, I didn't f-pend teu years in the West, Indies for nothing, was the reply. 1 hnd a mind, however, to put on the appearance of a poor man, and so test the uffection and disinterest edness of my rclat ions. One of them, however, I found not at home; I am happy to lind myself at home with the other." Let us turn to the aristocratic Mrs. B-, who, a few evenings succeeding the events bore recorded, was in her drawing-room receiving calls. "By tho way," said a fashionable visi tor, "1 am to have your relatives, the Lowes, for my next door neighbors." "Next door neighbors!" exclaimed, Mrs. Beaumont, in amusement) "what do you mean ?" "Is it possible you have not heard of their good fortune? Mrs. Lowe's undo has just returned from the West Indies with an itnuicusc fortune. "Ho las tukenHa houso in the sumo block with ours, land when they have moved into it, wilHtake up his rosidence with them. Meaqaphilc he is stopping at tho II-Houae.j "What Henry Bjeaumotit ?" "The very amm ; but I thought you knew it." Whon the viaitor withdrew, Mrs. Beaumont ordered! a carriage, aud im mediately drovo id the hotel where her husbaud's uuolo wau stopping. She sent up her oard aud rdqu.-ded an audience Tho servant sooy returned with anoth er card, on which; vero traced the sig nificant words; "NOT A T HOME." The Vision dj Joseph ICoag. The publication7* of tho Imperialist, nnd other signs offh e times, remind the Norwich Advertise* of "Hoag's Vision." Some of our readers will remember it. Considering that itjall occurred long be fore there was at|y sectional quarrel in our then united anfl happy country, and that all the scenes to the visions have so far, been fulfilled,Ahe Advertiser seems to be prepared UH sec tho next step iu the drama, which| the imperialist in dicates: In the yoar in the eighth or ninth month. I was^one day alone in the field, and obsetveifi that the sun shone clear, but a mist oftlipsud its brightness. As I reflected upin the singularity of the event, my tuQid was struck into a silence the most solemn I ever remember to have witnessed* for all my faculties were low, ami vurafstiaMy brought into deep .silence. 1 sa?jl to myself: "What tan all this m^.m?? 1 do not reoolleel ever before to have been sensible ofsuch reelings." Ami I heard t&, voice from Heaven, savin": "Thi- wlaich thou Hoest is n sign of the pi|-jCtit'boming tinier. I took the forci'ath-fifr ufcflthis country from a laud ot oppy.-ioijt I placed them here uumtr frllg ''? idoJi.fr'...

Hut they have now becboio proud and have forg tteu me, who nourished them and protected them in the willdurncss, am! ire running into every iihomiuation ami evil practice of which the old countries are guilty, and have Ulken quietude from the laud and suffered u dividing spirit to come among them ? lilt up thine ?>yi s and behold." And 1 saw ihom dividing in great heat The divisi n begun iu the churches on points ofd ietriuc; it commenced in the Presbyterian society ami went through the varb its denominations, and iu its progress and close its effects were the same. Those who dissented went off with high luads and taunting language, and those who kept to their origiual sentiments appearud exercised and sor row fill. And when the dividing .spirit entered the Society of Friends, it raged iu as high a degree as iu any 1 had noticed or before discovered; and, us before, those who separated wen* off with lofty looks and taunting, censuring language. Those who kept their ancient principles retired with themselves. It next appeared in the Lodges of Freemasons; it broke out in appearance like a volcano, inasmuch as it set the country in an uproar for a time. Thou it entered polities throughout the United States, ami did not Btop until it produced a civil war. An abundance of blood was idled in the course of the combat; the Southern States lost their power, and slavery was annihilated from their borders. Then n monarchical power spr ing up, took the government of the States, established a national religion, and m ole all societies tributary tosttpport its expenses; 1 saw them take property from Friends. 1 was amazed at beholding all this; and I heard a voice proclaiming ? This power shall ii"t always stand ; but with it I will chastise my Church, until they return to the faithfulness of their lore fathers. Thou seest what is coming up on thy native country, for their iniqui ties and the. blood of Africa ; the remem brance of which has come up before me. The vision is yet for many days. 1 had no idea of writing it for many years ?until it became such a burden that, p<jir my own reliof, I have written it. "KiseoV says Sam Slick, "are like creation, because they are made, out of notbicg and are very good." They are also, says The. Galaxy, "like sermons, requiring two heads aud an application." How Jok Smith Protkd his In spiration.? In tho beginning of Mor in on is in some of Joe 8mith's followers were incredulous, and doubted the in spiration of the prophet. To strengthen his influence Joo wanted a sign, and as ho had read of slgDS in the New Tcsta rocut, aud knew that iu heathen times, and with the Arabiau prophets, signs were the proof of a uivrne mission, he chose a dove as the serial herald of his sanctity. The dove was carefully trained to flutter around the prophet's head when carraways should be studied in his hat, und was meanwhile entrusted to a Saint from the County Clare to set frco from an adjacent attio in the solemn moment of tho adjuration. Joo, at this crisis addressing a host of worshippers impressively, enunciated. "My friends, the Holy Spirit descend cth on mc as a dove. Already I hoar the murmur of his cooing, and feel the faint flutter of his inspired wings high in the cloudless ether." Wheroupon ihey looked up to the Hcavcus. and he looked up at the attic. "My friends you may not witness it with your mortal and unpurged eyes, but the shadow of the sacred pinion is deep upon my soul, aud the celestial messcugcr fust approaches to my glory." This time the. public 1 0 iked doubtfully at himself, and he was ashamed to luuk at the attic. "My friends! It comcth. It will not bo delayed. Your Apostle is crowned by the feathery fondness of tho true angelic envoy." # Tho crowd looked so downcast he was aide to hazard n practical invocation. "Where the devil is tho Spirit, Patsy, bad luck to ye?" The anti-climax is simple but grand. "Sure and did not the cat ate him and bad luck to of ycos all the same." Joe caged the Spirit much more care fully for the future. i * 1111 ? i ??i?i??' I Ihk rOweS or A Woun.?A mother , oil the green hills of Vermont was hi Id ing by the right hand a son. sixteen yens old, mad with love of tho sen. Vnd as he stood by the gard n-gatc one morning, she said: "Kdward, they tell me?-for I never saw the ocean?that the great temptation ol a seaman's lite is drink. Promise me. before you quit your mother's hand, that you will never . drink." ??And." said he, (for ho told ! me the story.) "1 gave the prom be, and I went the globe over, Calcutta and the Mediterrane in. S.ni franc sen. and Cape (loud Hope, the North Polo an.I the South. I saw them all in forty years, and 1 never saw a glass Glied with spark ling liquor that my mothi r's form 1>\ the gate did not rise before mo, a d to day 1 am innocent ol tho taste of liquor.' Was not that sweet, evidence of the power of a single word? Yot that is not half. "For." said he. "yesterday there came into toy countiitg-rooni a man of forty years," ?? 'Do you know me ?' '??No!' "'Well,' said he. "I was once brought drunk into your presence on shipboard; you were a passenger; they kicked me aside; you took mc to your berth and kept 1110 there till I had slept oil' the intoxication ; you then asked if 1 had a mother. 1 said I but' never known a word from her lips You told me ol yours at the garden-gate; and today 1 am master of one of the first packets in New York ; and I cunrt! to ask you t'i c. iiie and see me." How far that little candle throws its beams! That mother's word in the green hills of Vermont ! Oh ! God he thanked for the mighty power of a single word. A Mouse Jumps Down a Judge's TltttOAT. ? While Judge Archer, ol Marshall, Ind., was removing some boxos fr< ni a shell' one day last week, a IIIOUsc jumped out of one of them and into the mouth of the Judge, and started direct ly down his throat. The Judgo unlike John Chinaman, did not relish the taste, and after several hawks, succeeded, des pite the clforts of the incuse, in getting him out of his throat into his mouth, but was rather slow in getting hold of the "little devil," and he made Hnother attempt but was again unsuccessful. Whether the mouse was-trying to com mit suicide, or whether ho wanted mere ly to "revive the inner-man," wc have no way of ascortainiug, but wc arc as mrcd that he was successful in scaring the Judge considerably. Encounter Between a Sword riBH and a opern WllA?K jn xJODE oa BaY.-?A correspondent of the Beta* luraa JcWJal and Argus, of April 15, relates the followiug singular incident: A novel sight wub wituesdcd a few day* since by Mr. Gaffncy, "who lives near Bodega Bay. "While plowing near the coast, his attontion was directed to on uuusual commotion in the water, near ly a mile from shore, which proved to be a conflict between five sword-fish and a sperm whale. The ocean was quite calm, and as they nearcd tho shore their move ments could be pluinlyseon. The whalo was no match for his smaller antagonists, who seemed to understand his only means of defenso, and displayed conside rable knowledge of tactics in parrying with their formidable adversary. In making their thrusts iuto his sides they would keep clear of his tail, one blow of which would have been fatal to them. With maddened fury the huge monster of the deep would stiiko right and left, causing the water to boil by the force of the bio .?and then he would dive deep to escape the relentless fury of his tormentors, but he was followed and soan brought to the surface. Deep gales could be seen in his sides and the blood flowing freely. The fight was wit nessed for nearly an hour, when the whale, in the agony' of despair, started j for the shore, flinging himself upon some low rucks, and soon died from the effects of his wounds. Gashes two feet deep and six feet long were made in his sides. Many in this city went to see him. He w.is between fifty and sixty feet long. The third day the tide rose high enough to float him from the rocks, and he float ed out to sea. ? ???? ? ? ? mm n - The Husband op tub Future.? The following is from the Charleston Courier. The model husband walks out with his wife on a week day, aud is not afraid it afterward. He is not above carrying a large bundle or a cotton umbrella, or even holding the baby in his lap in or*' omnibus. He runs on first t.? knock at the door when it is raining. He gets outside if the cab is full. He goes to bed first in cold weather. He gcls-up in the night to rock the cradle or an swer the door bell. He believes in hys terics, and 18 melted instantly by a tear. He patches up a quarrel with a velvet gown, and drives away the sulks with a i trip to Central Park. He never flies out about his buttons, nor brings home friends to supper. His clothes never smell of tobacco. He respects the cur tains, aud never smokes in the-house. He never invades the kitchen, aud would no nmre think of''blowing up" any of the servants than id'ordering the dinner. He is innocent of a latch-key. lie lets the family go out of town once every year, while he remains at home with one knife and fork, sits on a brown Holland chair, sie? ps on curtuinless bod, and has a char Woman to wait on hint. Ho is very easy and affectionate, keeping the wedding anniversary regularly. - ' 1 ?e?> ... ?wo?? Give Your Child a Paper..?A child beginning to read becomes deligh ted with a newspaper, because he reads of names and things which are familiar, and he will progress accordingly. A newspaper in one year is worth a quar ter's schooling to a child. Every fat bet must cousider that information is con nected with advancement. The mother of a family, being ono of its heads, and having it more immediate charge id' children should herself be instructed. A mind occupied becomes fortified againts the ills of life, and is braced for emer gency. Children amused by reading'or study are of course more considerate and easily governed. How many thoughtless young men have spent their earnings in a tavern or grog-shop who ought to have been reading! How many parents who have not spent twenty dollars for books for their families, would have given thousands to reclaim a son or daughter, who had ignorantly, thoughtlessly, fallen j into temptation.
