Another lciad's mystic flight, Hath cast its shade o'er Britain's strand A brilliant constellatioi's light, Is dawning on a better lamd. The Narthern Lyre, one by one, Has had its gold strings rudely swept In %weetest notes its chords vibrate, As if a trembling seralh wept. At hofy eve, when thousand stars llave east their .lory o'er the sea, Thy numbers have my bosom stirred To ,carnings, that it might be free. And o'er my soul thy infinence threw A pure sweet dream of heavenly bliss; A look " beyond ti flight of time," Took all the pain and tWars front this. III sorest entdeice, low and sweet, A requiem floats far o'er the zale it old Westmitister's arelivs wide, Do kindred spirits join the wail. Though now thy star is set in mists, Which bafille viion's boasted power, Thy tiname i il fluri.-h is the oak,* That thot didst plant in life's l:st hour. Thuiighi Azrael's mandate staved its fli;..t, "Till fourscore luttres shed their rays, Thy renovated form will live, To chiant in Heaven eternal praise. S. A. LAKE. Rose Coitage, S.

There's cm e that will not leave us, And pain that will not flee But in our hearts unaltered, Sits .ove, 'tween you and me! Our love, it ni'er was reckoned, Yet i'd'tt I aId true; It's half1 thet worhtl to mec loive) It's 1ll IIhe wold4 it) y-u! "NOT YET!" A TALE FO:NDED ON FACTs. "Not yet !" was heard spoken in a loud quick toie of voice, succeedeid by I report ot :a pistol. -ii: tat intg from the bottotm of a dark subierrane Ots vault. hitherto undisturbed by sound front the ommencemeit of time, except by the deep toned, majestic thunder, as it pealed its awful amatlienas frot) the thik, heavy clonds. as they covered the motititain's top. This 'rightful abo'de of ter-ror was situ:.ted on Cumberland mountAin. near the road passing throngah Sparta. the Crab Orchard and to Knoxville, Tenine-see. S itrprised at what I Icatrd so unexpe;ed in tiit hideous wilderness, I checked my horse and lis tnedi'I wit h iit e.e ity, i.3 ; to hear onice motre hiat horrid dlwellig place of mysteries, bef'ore I ulId tatk e myi leave oft this st rante utnir ; atol whist thtus 5tispended, as it were by hope, fear. atul anttnv, I hieardi. as I thbought, :i female voice exlaitm, "thin tk Ileiveni. I am safle." Myn eucori oity was tnow excited beyond exptression. [Hear ing tirst the voice of a man, thlen the Ilotd voice tf deathl's in.ttrumRent, and still inure, the soul :tniiiatintg voice otf a f'emale, all conspired to ex eite myt~ miost profoound symopath l anttd greatest astoniimeint.

All was still-deaRth and si I enc.e icigtitd tr~i iumphanit there. Alter manyi~ at temtpt s to di-cover' thle parties to t his st ranice all:ir, I vetutred1 still closer to te eictimt of det de:onta~~ting before mte.

Antd if so, I~i amitn intruder upon0 the purposes and design~s of the dead. Bitt up. Ott atn examination of his pistol, I t'ound it to bte loaded. I foutnd moy coitjectures were all wvrong. ad for thie safety of my own personi, I hurried away frotm the scene ot' eairnage~ and deathI. Ma y cottjectures presented thiemselIves dutiring' my eveniing's rie, yet till etndedh in doubt, and utte:rtainty3. A clue to the facts seemted cover ed itt iimpeiietratble darkness. Af'ter traivelling twety miles through ai wild wilderness, seeing no hutmant beinig, anud hearing nIo human voice. except, the constatnt reiterationt of "not yet," -thank hea~ven, i amt safe," which rang as if spokeni frm Ihe tolps of the miajestic ptines cover iig the cloitd.reachitg hills ini every direction. y f'eeliings strangely aiccorded with the scee now sutrrouniidiing -me-the winds hoiwled hide ousy, as they passed ime by-the loud roatring of tihe catanract's aswf'il fall, anid the deep gather ing clouds that shut out the light, of' day, all, till kepit imv heart awaketneil antd my ind on teCr rr's visioni beint.

We copy the following well-written and high ly interesting Circular Letter from the Minutes of the Edgefield Baptist Association. It is from the accomplished pen of Rev. B. F. CORLEY. DEAr BiaTitE-Permit its to addresd you, in this our- aiutal episile, on the dtiy and im porltiace of direct jidividu:l effort, on the part of each member of the Church, in the conver.,ion of siners to God. The Saiour said to his disciples, " Ye are the s.ailt of the earth." This laiguage applIle to the discipies, both as Ciristiais ad am Christian Ministers. And it meauns that every Chrimian shioid.make his influence individually and di reetly flvtt for the salvation of' those around him. PAis had re'':ird to this when he said in his let ter to the Collbssian%, 4: 6. " L. t your -peecth h! ahways with grace. seasontd with -:&," for thiS will make - the moutii of a righlteous man a well of life." It also teaches thal every Chris tian should exert a conservative influence-that thieir valie eonsists iin their .savor-that without this they are not only usteles, but they defeat an imporlant de-ign in their converbion ; and also iat their sitiation is ipeless. For, "though -tmy restore unsavory meal, what can res tore tinsavory salt !"* The ageney of his peo jle is the ordinary means by whih God de si niis the conver-ii of sinners. flow did Genile <inners, tunde'r the Old Tewlament dispen-atiun hear of the promised Mesi-,b, but by Ilie agency of iloe who h:d been instruteod thieretin M leihizeidek, the h::rlot Rhni, and Jetliro, were :ieh made acceptable to God.

And then on Lord's day liow' well tuiid theiir minds andi ours be prepireid for thue go-pei! Now andh then a sinler would be brontirbmt to thei kinowledlge of the truth -their' conve'rsionu wiould aiwaken thers.

Goid's hion-e wulid become aile hllowed anid ani attractive place, ad all would t here feel :a hieae'nly' atmiiispihere. Every' iminister knotws llh well, that more can now he' done out of the' pulpiit itai in it. Mcii look upon preacihing as au matter of' course, and sem to think thiut to heatr preaching, andit go away:3 atnd foirget it, carries but liitthe or no gimit. In the pulpit we often deal in genueral; out of' it *Fiuller. ."il.osopnhny of the plan of Salvation." in j.irticulbrs4. There are often facts and cir. cum-tances which might be happily employed in private conversation, which wonidd be out of place in the pulpit. Direct appeals may be so made as to fall with power upon the heart. Thee address themselves to the judgment, they feel it is to them, anrid they cannot Irr.nsfer it. I will illustrate this. Soon . fter the death of that devoted servant of God, Harlan Page, when a subscripion was being handed round for the beneit of Mrs. P. and her children,a youing mer cliant stantdina by sid, with tears standing in his tves, "I wi.h to give sotuethin --here are ten dollars; bnt ftor ilr. P. I would probably have sunk into a miserable eternity." This ywong man, in explaining the circumstance uaid, "Mr. P. corming into the Church before the hour for preaching, took a seat by my side and said, I 1 tru-t you love the Saviour.' The question im ieediately filled ny eyes with tears. I had been ireached to at arrms length all my days in New Hampshire, but this was the first time in my life that ever a Christian thus kindly put such a ques lion to my heart." Thi:ese lines speak volumes they unfold an ituportant secret to tih child of Giad. While I would not detract from the dignity and importance of our Heavei.alppointed minis try, which is the bulwark and glory of the Church, yet the preaching of the word does not now .-een to have that happy elfect which it had in earlier times. A sernion on the love and death of Christ delivered to a band of liarinans, would tell more loudly for t he cause of Christ, all things consiidered, than one addressed to a well inform. ed American congregation. Robert Hall once said, 4 the darkest place in the room is under the lonp." And it appears that those who re ceive the light of the understanding, unaccompa nied by the love of truth, have their hearts ren dered e.dlous to Divine impressions by the com tnie.,s of their spiritual privileges; so that God's word bcoines a savor of death unto death, by sioning wiifully after they have received the knowledge of the truth. Now, when one mode of attack fails the skilful general will resort to an i her, and thus take his enemy on surprise. So shodl- we do It is true that all elliciency in otr Divine work must be etfcted by the same intrument--truth-but still, the instrument may be wielded in diil'erent ways-In one direction we might strike a %hiehl or helmest, and do no in. jury, while in another direction it mortal wound aight lie inflicted. As God's agents, we should wield his inistrument skilfully. I notice, in the third place, the spirit and man. ner in which this effort should be made. Here we must strive lawfully if we triumph. Love to Christ is alone capable of impelling a man to the perforance of works neceptable to God. Twingle. the celebrated Swiss reformer, says, 1 works done ont of. Jesus Christ are worthless. Since every thing is done of him, in him and by I hitm, what. .an ws hiv e'- t- orselves?~ I "aum u., . s aa. There is ati eloquence in a godly life, berore whieh even aitheismi and infidelity have often been made to quail. Hence it has been said that not iman can be truly eloquent without piety. The world, wicked as it is, will feel a veneration fr a pints man. Snch a man, and such alone. can da ineth in the cause of Chri.st. I Brother." says .\r. Page int a letter to a young convert, wheni you meet with tin impenitent sinner, don't merely say. calmly, ' Friend, you are in daiger,' but alpproach imt viiih a holy violence and labor to 'n ill him out of the fire.' They are going to perdilion-ithere is a Ileavven-tliere is a hell." In the fouiihi place I notice the happy results of sneh i idividual ellbrt. 1. It would result in the conversion of sinners to God. a thn, would we save souls from death, for God will bless a diligent compliance with his 3. IL would secure the Church spiritual ad vancemnent. Laboring for God brings its ownt re-ward, in lie retlex influence whieh would re vert to the. lasborer. For an effort to di.,eharge our dnty to God, is the best commentary tupon the Serlitinres. We understand God's law in its performan~ttce. 3. It wouid unite Christiains in the sweetest bo'nd of affe.ctioan. They would recognize 1each oilier as brethren, laibormng in a commoan cause, and for a caatmmoi nmaster-their sympaties wo~ be extended fair eatch oilier. " Thaen each wotihi feel his brother's sigh, Aaad with hsim hoar a part ; Sorrow would flow front eye to eye, Amnd joy fromt he~art to heart." 4. It would tend to ptirify the Church. In-' active drones'coiild not live in such an attmos pheitre. Th'oase. whlo lid a foarmi oft .gaalitness only, wounld be undeccived lby the fazithfulu intst ructions ofl the Charcb.

Clhrisians would be quali tied to teach the yong canvert lie way of the Lord imare perteetly. Such would come into the Chnreb instrueted. Wh it glorious results wmotmd fallow !Then. brethietn, let each of us hontor Chrtist by lookinig well to this matter. And may God grant, us grace to act well our part, for Christ's sake. Amen. SD'Aubigne's Hist. Ref. vol. 2., B. 8, ch. 9. A CHiNESE WoNDE.-Enropeans and Ameri cetis ate very ampt to conisider the Chinese as barbairians, when compared with our own and ather Chirist:iin nations. Yet wve are constantly meeting with faicts in relation to that sitngular peoplek, which put to the blush all our vaini glo rious boasting. What are our great canals when compared with that exitraordinairy work of art, the uiperial Canal of China, which was built by the blongol Enmpyror, Kublai Khan, and etends a dist.mnee of more thani 600 iles? Great heights are tunnelled, lakes bridged, and stupendous embarkments thrown over marshes and lo~w ground to afford it a passage. Unlike our canals, its capacity is not limited to small baoats, but large ships sail upon its wvaters, which are filled by mighty rivers, amid serve not only the purpose of a conmmercial highway, but are used for the two-tiald objects of irrigation and drainage, thus rendering availatble for cultivation mnch land which would otherwise be useless. TIhis canal has been protiounced by Europeans a gigaintie work, and one displaying soundpraic tical enigineering skill, and even genius in its construction. Yet it is one among many achievements of art to be found on a larger scale in Chinia thatn in any other counitry in the world. THE Emperor Nicholas is getting sa vageoat the allies. He is reported to have said, in refe rence to' the English: "1 They may repel mae from the Danube: they my enter Conastadt, aind take possession of St. Petersburg ; t hey maiy force me to retire from Mloscow : but they must drive me from the'wilds of Siberia, or take me prisoner in the mountain passes of the Ural, before I cease to strive for the posiin I hae taken. V PASS IT BOUND. The following preamble and Resolutions were adopted at the meeting of the Young Men's Be nevolent Association on Saturday evening. Whereas, it has been reported to this Asso ciation by a member of one of the Ward Com mittees, that Dennis Haley has forcibly, and without legal process, ejected Mrs. Fortune, a poor widow woman with her sick child, from a tenement occupied by them, for the non-payment of rent, turning her into the streets,and endan goring the life of the child, if not of the mother; therefore Be it resolced unaimously by this Association, That the conduct of said Haley, considering the times and circumstances accompanying it, was cruel, unchristian, unmanly and inhuman and that its author should be hel d up to the execra tion of every member of this community. Resolced, That the city papers be requested to insert thii pre:mble and resolution, aecompa nied by such comment as the outrage demands. We know of no langiuage strong enough to denounce such depravity as that described in the case above alluded to. It is certainly the most inhuman and barbarous net we have yet heard of and many have come to our knowledge-du ring the trying season from which we are just emerging. Any man who has so little of human sympathy in him should be looked upon as too mean for pity and too contenptiile for scorn. It is to be hoped that should injury result to the parties said to have been ejected, the offender will not be allowed to go un%% hipt of justice. The Young Men's Benevolent Association of Savannah have determined hereafter to distribute their beneftctions in the shape of provisions, umedical attention and nurses. instead of money as heretofore. They have been compelled to adopt this rule, in order the more effectually to guard against fraud and imposition. Some days ago, for example, a number of one of the Ward Committees found 'a poor Irish girl sick and in great distress. A physician was sent for, and a nurse procured, and' ten dollars were left with her sister-in-law, with whem sho was living. with which to purchase provisions. On returning the next day, the committee man found that the sister-in-law had spent fifty cents of this money for medicine, and had appropria ted the remaining $9,50 to her own purposes, on the ground that - the sick woman owed her that sum! Another member of a committee was asked for money by a large, robust, healthy. Irishman. He replied that he was able to work-that there was great demand for laborers-and that he would find no difficulty in obtaining employment still he gave hint two dollars to supply his imme diate wants. "And be this all ye are going to give me ?" indignantly inquired the burly Iri.h. man ; and being assured that it was, he threw the money back into the face of the donor ! Another man put up a touching ann- - - They furnisn a icons1 - depravity of these people, and would almost jutify the Association in withholding from them all charity. Such conduct certainly authorizes them to change the form (,f their benefactions, and to investigate narrowlv the merits of every case in which they are called upon for assistance. -[Sav. Georgian. MR. WIsE oN SLAVER.-A Boston clergy. man, who had spet some time at the South, and learned no small part of t he anti-slavery creed to which ie has bred, recently addressed a frlend ly letter to the Hon. Henry A. Wise, of Virgin in. propounding a series of qui sions concerning the general suhject (if slavery, and the African race in the Uniited States. Mr. Wise's reply has been published, and attracts much attention at the North. It is fIlI of his own warm blood, defiant. eloquent, headlong, sometimes extlgge. rated and contfused, hut abounding in original and .striking views, lie conttrasts the condition of the A frienan slave in the United Stifes and Brazil in regard to religinon, eivilization and physical well being, with the Afrieaat at home, and vindicntes slavery antd the slave trade by the good they have done. STR ANGE FREAE.-P1ovTDENCE, Oct. 3.-An old man named Lymnatn Hawes committed a strange freak to day, which cantsed nto sm lI ex eitement. He erected a house of boanrds on both tracks of the Providence and Worcester railroad, antd placed within the samae a keg of powvder and thetn nailing himself in the house, swore thtat if thte trains ntte~mpted to run through the buildintg he would blow ail to atoms. His wild and determnined thtreats and the obstruction caused a detent iott of two hours to the trains, bitt finatlly ai crowd of about one thousand per sons tissemnbled anid smiashed in thte doior of the butilding, and seized Hlawes antd dragged him to jail. T1he police speedily demnoli.-hed the house, and the trains pas~sed ott. The excitement was so great thtat it was w itht difliculty the people were deterred fronm injuiring liawes. The reason gi ven for thte strange freak is. that Hiawes former ly ownted thte lantd through which thme rond passes, and, conceiving that he had not been allowed enough for it by the commissioners, endeavored to revenge himself in the manner stated. A SECRE1 WORTH KNoWING.-Boil three or four onionis with a pint of water ; then, with a gilding brush, go over your glasses and frames, and rest assured that the fies will not light on the article washed. Tlhis may be used without apprehension, and it wvill not do the least injury to the frames. RAtT.ROAD ACCIDENT.-We understand that the Greenville train, in conming dowvn yesterday, run over two negroes, the property of Capt. T. J. Robertson, of this district, one of' whom was killed instantly and the other left with no hopes of recovery. The negroes were supposed to be asleep.- South Carolinian. A pretended fugitive from Georgia turned up, a fewv days since, in,.Pennsylvania, Yates county, N. Y.-where, by the way: abolitionists are very numerous-and made enquiry for some aboli tionists in the neighborhoaod. He call-d at the house of a Mr. Polver, the family being absent, and soon after a gold watch was-missing, as well as thte fugitive. Mr. P. offers a rewvard of $20 for his apprehension. W. C. BEEMAN, who htas been for some monthts inkustody on the charge of robbing the mails, died in the jail at Savannah on the 5th inst., of yellow fever. Hie was to have been tried at the.November term of the U. S. Dis trict Court of Georgia. His death, however, dispenses with the attendance of witnesses.
