God called the nearest angels who dwell with him above; The tendorsst one ~^vs. Pity, the dearest ono was Love. "Arise," He said, "mv angels! a wail of woe and sin Stoals through the gates of Heaven, and saddens all within. "My harps take up the mournful strain that from a lost world swells, ? The smoke of torment clouds the light and blights the asphodels. "Fly downward to that under world, and on its souls of pain Let Lovo drop smiles like sunshine, and Pity tears like rain!" Two faces bowed before the throne vailed in their golden hair; Four whito "wings lessened swiftly down the dark abyss of air. The way \vaa'strange, the flight was long; at last the angels camo Where swung the lost and nether world, rod-wrapped in rayless flame. There Pity, shuddering, wept; but Love, with faith too strong for fear, Took heart frora'God's almightiness, and smiled a smile of cheer. And lo! that tear of Pity quenched the flame whereon it fell, And, with the sunshine of that smile, hope entered into hell! Two unvailed faces, full of joy, looked upward to the Throne, Four whito wings folded at the feet of Him who sat thereon! And deeper than the sound of seas, more soft than falling flake, Amidst the hush of wing and song the Voice Eternal spake: ' 'Welcome, my angels! ye have brought a holier joy to Heaven; Henceforth its sweetest Hong shall be the song of ein forgiven!" * >?? Mother Eve?Biography of an Eminent Woman, by One who Knew Han Well.?In writing biographies of eminent women it is fit that we begin with Mother Eve herself. Eve belonged to ono of our first families; in fact, the very first. She was related to the first man on the Adam side, although she had a deep cause to regret that she ever left Adam's side. Philosophers ?who have probed deep into the subject, connect Eve's early career i as a rib with the female fondness for a ribbon. Eve became Mrs. Adam, and they lived very happily together for a time. There was no other woman for her to be jealous of, and her husband wasn't pestered with drcss-makera' bills. She wasn't tortured by discovering love letters from unknown females in Adam's coat-tail pockets, and Adam never blew her up because buttons weren't sewed on. Evo never saw a fashion book or a fa? shion plate; never wore high-heeled boots, (sho made a slip, but she oouldn't make a slipper) or boots; and if there had been lots of news? papers printed, she wouldn't have known .now to make back numbers available. It never occurred to hor to go into the lecture field, and as for voting, she didn't know what that meant. If they were going out to an evening party, she didn't keep Adam waiting for her lo dress until he was ready to Adam ' every tiling, and he was never known to come home with another man's hat or overcoat on. How Eve could'have lived witbont some other woman to gossip with, it is hard to under stand at this day, but she did. Adam is supposed to have been kept in a glow of conti? nual happiness by the reflection that he hadn't any motlieif-itt-law hang? ing around, and couldn't have. Oh, but those were delightful days, when our first parents, in their in? nocence and simplicity, wandered about Eden Park, hand in hand, discussing the improvements that might be made. There' is little rooord as to how Mother Eve em? ployed herself when not wandering m Eden. There was no sewing society for her to be president of; there were no clothes to bo made np for the little heathen, as there were very little heathen until the settlement of New York city. She couldn't playthe piano, because she had none. Had she possessed one of those boons, she would probably have ^yj^Jie&.bn8bftiid^ Paradise without the intervention of the serpent. She could not paint or draw. There wasn't a drawer on earth at that time, to say nothing of a pair of 'em. She oould not embroider, although her worsted work wob a success; she worsted the whole human race. She couldu't receive calls, except when Adam called her; and she got no invitations out to tea. She "was totally ignorant of the delights of shopping, and never attended a matinee in all her life. When she went out to promenade Bhe never looked around to seo what other womou had on. Everything seemed to go well with Eve until the fruit season set in, and then?well, every child knows the story. She was tempted into an apple tree to pluck some fruit that wasn't quite ripe and fell. Adam fell, too?that in ho fell to and helped her eat it, although with a moanness some? what characteristic of his sex, he endeavored to throw all the blame ou the woman when detected. Too lazy to shake tho tree himself, ho was ready enough to partake of tho fruit when brought to his hand. After this faux pas, Adam and Eve were obliged to take their respect? ive leaves of Eden. They were fig leaves. Eve had suddenly be? came possessed with a love for dress, and from that early period until tho presont that love has gradually increased among tho sex, until now it amounts to a veritable passion with some of them. Eve founded a very extensive family. Besides the Massachusetts Adams, the entire human, race might trace back to Mr. and Mrs. Adr.ms, if their traces are long enough. We don't loam that Eve cut up much after the affair in tho garden. If she "raised Cain," it was because Cain was tough and hearty. If he had been a sickly child, perhaps she wouldn't have been able to raise him. It is recorded that Adam reached the good old age of 030 years before ho died, but no mention is made of Eve's age when she passed away Tho well known antipathy to telling her age which characterizes women in all ages and under every clime may perhaps account for this. waJCbflJBM^Liihd^ a translation of the Greek word Gehenna, is a term used to designate the valley of Hinnom. This valley- bounds Jerusalem on tho North, and lies below Mount Zion?a scene of sa? cred and imperishable association. In this Valley Moloch, the national god of the Amorite8 was worshipped with the horrid and inhuman rite of sacrificing children in the lire. When Josiah, in his conquests, overthrew this idolatry, he poured contempt upon the infernal prac? tice by casting into the valley the bones of the departod. In the estimation of the old Hebrews, the bones of tho dead caused the greatest of all pollutions. What? ever person, place, or thing they touched were forthwith considered "unclean/' Hence this valley of Hinnom, the Gehenna, this "hell," having been tho receptacle of the human remains which Josiah threw into it, was considered a place the most polluted and accursed. From this circumstance it became a com? mon receptacle for all the refuse of tho city of Jerusalem. Here large quantities of decomposing vegeta? ble and animal matter wo.ro rnn stantly thrown. This putrescent matter generated an abundance of worms; the worms hero never died. To prevent the noxious effluvia springing from this mass of corrup? tion poisoning the atmosphere and breathing disease and death into tho heart of tho city, fires were 1-i. K.._/]_J mi ? valley, therefore, was literally a place where "the worm never died and where the fire was never quenched."?i?ei?. Phclps. God made both tears and laugh? ter, and both for kind purposes; for, as laughter enablos mirth and surprise to breathe freely, so tears enable sorrow to vent itself patient? ly. Tears hinder sorrow from becoming despair and madness, and laughter is ono of the very privi? leges of reason, being confined to the human species. _ City Taxes?Time Extended. TU E books of the City Treasurer are now open for receiving of Taxen for 1875. All City Taxes must be paid be? fore the 15th day of April instant. I There will positively be no further extension.
