Calm mo, my Godt ana koop mo calm,
White thoao hot breezes blow:
Bo Uko the night dow's cooling halm,
Upon earth's fevered brow.
Calm tue. my God. and koop me calm,
Soft resting on thy breast;
Soothe me with holy hymn and psalm,
And bid my spirit rest.
Calm me, my God, and keep me calm
Let thine outstretching wing
Be like the shade of Elim's palm
Beside her desert spring.
Yea, keep mo calm, though loud and rudo
The sounds my ear that greet;
Calm in the closet's eohtudo,
Calm in tho bustling street
Calm in tho hoar of buoyant health,
Calm in my hour of pain.
Calm in my poverty or wealth,
Calm in my loss or gain
Calm in the sufferance of wrong,
Like Him who boro my shame,
Calm 'mid tho threat'ning, taunting throng,
Who hate Thy holy name
Calm when the great world's nows with
power
My listening spirits stir;
Let not the tidings of tho hour
E'er lind too fond an ear.
Calm as the ray of sun or star,
Which storms assail in vain,
Moving unruffled through earth' w?r,
Too eternal cAlm to gain.
A Minister Hugged Against his Will.
A moat ludicrous scene transpired
in a place not a thousand miles from
the city of Louisville, one night last
week, which, though a little annoy
to the parties immediately concerned,
was yet so innocent and funny, that
we cannot refrain from giving the
general outline, suppressing names,
of course.
Two sprightly and beautiful young
ladies were visiting their cousin,
another sprightly and beautiful young
lady, who, like her guests, was of
that happy age which turns every?
thing into fun and merriment. If
the truth were told, we fear that we
should have to record the fact that
these three Misses were just a little
fast. They were fond of practical
jokes, and were continually playing
nil sorts of pranks with each other.
All three occupied a room on the
ground floor, and cuddled up toge?
ther in oue bed.
The two young ladies attended a
party | on the night in question, and
did not get home until half-past 12
o'clock at night. As it was late,
they concluded not to disturb the
household; so they quietly stepped
into their room through the low
open window.
In about half an hour after they
had left for the party, a young Me?
thodist minister called at the house
where they were staying and craved
a night's lodging, which, of course,
was cheerfully granted. As minis?
ters always have the best of every?
thing, the old lady put him to sleep
in the best room, aud the young
lady (Fannie) who had uot gone to
the party, was entrusted with the
duty of sitting up for the absent
ones and of informing them of the
change of rooms. She took up her
post in the parlor, and as the night
was sultry, sleep overcame her and
she departed on an excursion to the
land of dreams.
We will now return to the young
ladies who had gone into their room
through the window. By the dim
light of the moonbeams as they
struggled through the curtains, the
young ladies were enabled to descry
the outline of Fannie (as they sup?
posed) ensconced in the middle of
the bed. They saw more, to wit: a
pair of boots. > The truth flashed upon
them both at once. They saw it all.
Fannie had set tho boots in the room
to give them a good scare. They
put their heads toge thor and deter?
mined to turn the tables on her.
Silently they disrobed, and as stealthy
as oats they took their positions on
each side of the bed. At a given
signal they both jumped into bed,
one each side of the unconscious
pardon, laughing and screaming,
"Oh, what a man! Oh. what a mau!"
they gave the poor bewildered minis?
ter such a promiscuous hugging and
tussling as few persons are able to
brag ofin the course of a life-time.
The noise of the proceeding awoke
the old lady, who was sleeping in an
ndjoiuiug room. She comprehended
the situation in a moment, and rush?
ing to the room, she opened the
door and exclaimed: "My God, gals,
it is a man; it is a mau, sure enough!"
There was one prolonged, consoli?
dated scream; a flash of muslin
through the door, and all was over.
Tho best of tne joke is, that tho
minister took the whole thing in
earnest. He would listen to no
apologies the old lady could make
for the girls. He would hear no
excuse, but ho solemnly folded his
clerical robes around'him and silent?
ly stole away.
-?
GiULrt.-There are two kiuds of i
girls. Ono is the kind that appears ]
best abroad-the girls that are good
for parties, rides, visits, balls, &c,
and whose chief delight is in such
things. The other is the kind that
appears best at homo-the girls that
are cheerful and useful in the dining
room, sick room, and all the pre?
cincts of home. They differ widely
in character. Onu is often a tor?
ment at home; the other a blessing.
One is a moth, consuming everything
about her; |the other is a sunbeam,
inspiring light and gladness on all
around her pathway. The right ed?
ucation will modify both a little, and
thus unite the good qualities of both
in one.

tho earth would bo seep coming to?
ward them after the lapso of eight

A good story is told of nn old Vir?
ginia planter who was missing corn
from his crib. One night he told a
colored boy to set a trap iu the crib.
The next morning the boy came run?
ning to the house, exclaiming, "Bress
God, Massa, if there isn't a while
feller out there at tho corn crib,
shaking banda, wid dat steel trap."
""What brought you to prison, my
colored friend?"
"Two constables, sah."
"Yea, but I mean had intemperance
anything to do with it?"
"Yes, sah; dey was bofo of 'em
drunk."
It i? related of two old Scotoh
ministers, that the one asked the
other if he was not sorely tempted
at times to go fishing on Sunday
afternoon. "Oh, mon," replied his
fellow-laborer, "I'm never tempted
lang, I just gang."

PROSPECTUS
OF lin:
CHRISTIAN NEIGHBOR.
aOD willing, I shall cause to bo pub?
lished, at a placo, time and price
hereafter dotormiued upon, a Weekly
Paper, with tho above style and title.
The general object of tho publication
will be the maintenance of thc Christian
Scriptures as the standard of right, in all
questions which involve morality, whether
these questions appertain to man indivi?
dually or collectively, and whether arising
from his relation to God or hi? neighbor.
Enjoining conscientious obedience to all
the ordinances of civil government not in
conflict with tho law or Ood, tho CHRIS?
TIAN NEIGHBOR will bo an unequivocal
advocate of Christianity as opposed to war,
either offensive or defensive.
While neither politics nor other ineongc
nial matter shall in any wise alloy; yet the
principles of Christianity will be applied
to all matters, so far as they involvo moral
principle Politics shall be* excluded from
religion, yet tho former shall not be ex
empt from tho application of the latter.
Identified with the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, whose authoritv under God
is paramount with me, and holding the
principles annouueed, the NEIGHBOR is
offorou as a medium of advocacy of ail the
interests of Christianity in that'branch of
the Church, and also as au agency for en?
larging and establishing in other churches,
and ir. tho regions beyond, that Kingdom
of Christ "which is not of this world."
I desire to ascertain, through the agency
of all who will eo f??r interest themselves,
what number of subscribers (name, post
oftice, County and State,) may be reck?
oned in tho beginning; tho price governed
by sizo of sheet for six or twelve mouths
to be forth-coining on the reception of tho
first number. Let all communications be
