Deserted. Tho river flowed with the light on its breast, ? . And the waves wont eddying by, And tho round, red sun went down in ihe West . When my love1? loving lips to my lips were prest Under thc evening sky Now weeping alene Dy che river Istray, For my love has Ki me this many a day;* Left me to droop and die. As the river flowed then, the river flows still, In ripple, and form, and spray, On bv the church, and roundbv thc hill, And under the sluice by the old burnt mill, And out to tho fading day; But I love it no more, for delight grows cold When the song is sung and tho tale is told, Aud the heart is given away." Oh, rive r, run far! Oh, river, run fast! Oh, weeds, float out to the sea! For thc sim has gone down on my beauti? ful past, And the hopes that like bread on the waters I cast. Have drifted away like thee! So the dream it is fled, and the day it is done, And my lips will murmur the name of one Who will never come back to mc. Buried Grief?. Ohl let them rest, tho buried griefs; Why should we drag them to the day? They "liv d their hour of storm and shower; They lived and died anti passed a n ay. Oh! let them rest-their graves are green; New life shall risc above thc mould; The dews shall weep, the blossoms poop, The flowers of sympathy unfold. So, on the solitary moor, The soldiers' graves arc bright with flowers; Tho wild thyme blooms, and sweet per? fumes Attract the roamers of the bowers. There stays the bee to gather sweets, And give his booming trumpet rest; There waves the heath its purple wreath, And there tho linnet builds her nest. So let them rest-the buried griefs Thc place is holy where they lie; On life s cold waste their graves are placed, The flowers look upward to the sky. ila. triage and Dr nt ii. No clergyman in the Methodist Church was better kne .'-n than Wil? liam Barnes. For sixty years a mem? ber of its itinerant ministry, com? mencing with the rifle, axe, and saddle-bag days of Asbury and Scott, the ttivine slowly increased in reputa? tion as the vanities of the world and the follies of the flesh were engrafted on the beloved church of his adop? tion and choice. He was a bitter opponent of fashionable frivolity. The plainness of his fore-fathers was the apple of his eye. The simplicity of apostolic days was the standard of his life, and the doctrines he loved were the doctrines he preached. John the Baptist waa not plainer in attire, in life and manner than Mr. Barnes, and the ardency of his oppo- i sitiou to gayety and extravagance ! made him famous throughout the ! bounds of the Philadelphia Confer- j ence. As a divine he was eloquent. '? ?arncjt^md sincere. His sermon s possessed the power of the old fathers of Methodism, when Wesley and Whitfield invoked the mercies of Pro? vidence ou the collieries of England and the pioneer settlements of Araeri- 1 ca. Eccentric and singular in his i boyhood, his individuality increased in his later years until the peculiar traits of Mr. Barnos' character made him familiar ia e?ery Methodist par ish in the State. For twenty years I his name has been a household word in Methodist families in the Philadel- j phia Conference. On Friday night, 29th, the old divine died from one of the most singular circumstances in clerical history. An j old law of Pennsylvania, enacted in | 1701, declares that bans of marriage ? miist be published in public meetings and posted on the meeting-house one month before the ceremony can be legally performed. For years the j statute has been null. It filled a j place in the records of commonwealth . law, but its terms were never heeded, j Mr. Barnes joined in lawful holy ?wedlock two lovers, who blushingly j came to his house and asked tho1 sacred fulfillment of their hearts' de-1 sires. The bride was the daughter of aresident of Philadelphia. He object-1 eel strenuously to the union, but his anger toward the children was imp? tent. They were united in mcfriage, and hy could not divide them. His daughter was of full age, but her husband was not twenty-one. Power i-ss t^g?r^ te them, the father pre "dJBB^ 1hu ii i'1 clergyman for *~ ' violation of the antiquated Act of 1701. The fossil of a father claimed - the vengeance of\ the fossil of the law. Mr. Barnes wvs brought before the District Court, rtth Judge Shars wood on the bench, m Tlie defendant's co.^fcsel contended that proof of the non-publication of the bans should be made ; that the plaintiff's witnesses had not gone to the court house or meeting house doors to examine ; and, inasmuch as this waa a final action, the proof should be positive as to the non-per? formance of the requirements of the act. He said that tho enforcement of the act would lead to many divorces, to the breaking of many family ties ; and that the father (the plaintiff) had done wrong in casting a doubt upon the legality of the marriage of his daughter, united in holy matrimony by a power recognized by ecclesiastical law as well as custom. The plaintiff's counsel urged the enforcement of the penalty. Judge Sharswood instructed the jury that the law was still in force; that no one could join in marriage ii minor with? out consent of the parents and publi cation of the bans; and he instructed th? jury that \f they found such con? sent had not been obtained and such publication made, the plaintiff was entitled to recover. Th? jury could not agree. On t he opening y of the Court ou Saturday morning, the melancholy fact was announced by the Judge, in discharging the jury, that Mr. Barnes had die'd a few hours after leaving the court house. The cause of his death was the excitement consequent jm the trial of the case. With the penalty of a broken law pending, death entered n stronger plea, and the venerable divine was called to the bar of God, who makes the cause of His servants His own. The tears and prayers of the whole Methodist Church followed the aged veteran of the cross to his eternal rest. . .#. A "WONDERFUL. COMET.-There is ono of these eccentric and mysterious members of the solar system that re? quires five 'hundred and seventy-two years in which to make its revolution in its very eliptical orbit around the sun. Thc first account of it3 appear? ance on record is 1,767 years before Christ, wheu some took it to be the planet Venus, changing its appear? ance und course. It was seen the second time 1,193 years before Christ, and again 1,150 years later. This last was 43 B. C., the year after Julius Caesar was killed in thc Roman Sen? ate. It was certainly seen A. D. 530, the fifth year of the Roman Emperor Justinian. The account is, that a remarkable comet was seen twenty clays in the mouth of September, and that for some time after the suu appeared pale. It was due again in A. I). 1105, and early in the following year it was seen. Its last appearance was in 1GS0. Sir Isaac Newton and others give tin interesting account of its velocity, heat, Ac. This comet has been gone one hundred and eighty-five years, and will require about one hundred and two years before it reaches the farthest part of its orbit, and its great? est distance from the sun. It will be due here again in the year 2256. This wonderful comet, as we have said, was seen 1,767 years B. C., and it must have appeared five hundred and seventy-five years before that, which would have been 2,340 B. C., or six years after the flood in the days of Noah. Its previous visit to our system must have been 2,917 B. C., and before that, according to our chronology, was the Creation. This lacks sixty-two years of th?5 time re? quisite for the comet to make a com? plete revolution-so that at the Crea? tion it miglit have been placed at a distance from the sun equal to what it could have moved in sixty-three years. It is probably now making the eleventh revolution in its orbit. How great nnd marvelous are the works of the Almighty! CAUSES OF STTJMME? ^EATH.-Ver^ few of the sudden n" -lbs which art said to arise from dis ?uses of the hear do really arise from that cause. T< ascertain the i*eal origin of suddei deaths, an experiment has been trie< in Europe and reported to a scientific congress held at Strasbourg. Sixty six cases of sudden death were madi the subject of a thorough post morte): examination; in these cases only tw< were found who had died from dis eases of the heart. Nine out of sixtj' six had died from apoplexy, whil there were forty-six cases of conges tion of the lungs-that is, the lung were so full of blood they could no work, there not being room enougl for a sufficient quantity of air to ente to support life. The causes that pro duce congestion of the lungs are: coli feet, tight clothing, costive bowels sitting still until chilled niter bein warmed wita labor or a rapid walk going too suddenly from a close heated room into the cold air, espt cially after speaking, and suddc: depressing news operating on th blood. These causes of sudden deaf being known, an avoidance of ther may serve to lengthen many valuabl lives, which would otherwise be los under the verdict of heart complaint That diseases is supposed to be ir evitable and incurable; hence man may not take the pains they would t avoid sudden deatli if they knew i lay iu their power. PERPETUAL MOTION AGAIN DIS COVERED.-The Comte Cavour, Turin journal, confidently announct that the problem of perpetual motio lias been solved by M. Louis Cauci Riz7o, a mechanic of Strasbourg who, the same journal asserts, ha invented a machine which finds ii j motive force within itself, withon ; any external aid. Nay, more, it is t I be seen at work at Naples, where j has been applied to raising water, bi j M. Caucre Rizzo hopes to render i ? application universal. Meanwhile, I seems he has obtained a patent f( j fifteen years from the Italian Goven j ment. "WOMAN IN EXTREMITY.-When tl : earthquake occurred at San Franci co, a lady, who was engaged in was ; ing an infant, of very tender age, ii screaming into the street. She stoc i on the sidewalk for some time, swin ing something in her hand, which, ! first, was taken foi a dressed chick* by tlie bystanders, but which beg! to speak for itself in language whii placed it at once in the category of j different class of animated natur ! She was holdsng it by the foot, he< i downward, and had forgotten i about what she had in her hand. 1 A ' "3? JEJ1 IES ErREATBEDVCTiON IN THE RATES OF Advertising!
