Dr. Lyto, an English clergy? man, preached his farewell sermon to his flock, whom declining health com? pelled him to leave, lie was a victim of consumption, and was about to pass the winter in Italy, with tho faint hopo of some relief from his sufferings. The last fareweR wojb uttered to his beloved peo? ple, and faint and weary, ho went back to his quiet, rural parsonage. In the evening, surrounded by his family, he sat down and composed the following touching and precious hymn: Abide with ma! Fast mils tho eventide: The darkness' deepens; Lord, with me abide! When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me. Swift to its closo ebbs out life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim; its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see; 0 Thou who chungest not, abide with me! Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word; But as Thou dwell'st with Thy disciples, Lord? Familiar, condescending, patient, free? Come, not to sojourn, but abido with me! Come not in terrors, as the King of kincs, But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings; Tears for ail woes, a heart for every plea; Come, Friend of sinners, thus abide with me! Thou on my head in early youth didst smile, And, though rebellious and perverse meanwhile, Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee; On to the close, O Lord, abide with mc! 1 need Thy presence every passing hour; What but Thy grace can stay the tempter's power? Who like Thyself my guard and stav can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abiile with me! I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight, and tears no bitter? ness; Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me! Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyeB; Shine through the gloom and point mo to the skies; Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows llee; In life and death, U Lord, abide with me! *A Bunker Hill Representation.? The reproduction of th"e historical scene of the battle of Bunker Hill took place on the fair grounds, at Allentown, Pa., June 17, where a four days' fair was held by the ladies of that city*and County for the benefit of the centennial fund. 25,000 persons and 1,200 troops took part in tho celebration. The fight lasted about two hours, and was admirably conducted. Gen. Robert McAllister commanded the American forces, who were in continental uniform, and Col. T. H. Good the Bri? tish, who were in full British uniform. A Ce> tennial Suggestion. ?The Vicks burg (Miss.) Herald would be pleased to see Jefferson Davis selected as the orator for the South at the Centennial Exposi? tion at Philadelphia. It mentions it as a suggestion of a prominent, strong Re? publican. It may bo objected, however, to Mr. Davis, that his political disabili? ties have not yet been removed. There is still time enough for this, however, and even if he in-not a citizen in time, he might bo allowed a hearing as one of the distinguished foreigners who will be present on that occasion. Bunker Hilt,.?When tho Maryland boys and tho South Carolina guards fraternize to-day with their Massachu? setts brethren, and all join in a truly national celebration of the birth of free? dom of America, it is n significant an? swer to those who endeavor to keep alive memories of bitterness and ugliness that should have been interred long ago. [JVeio York Herald. "I want it nice, and strong, and snug liko, said the widow, exhuming a fresh Eocket-handkerchicf, and controlling er sobs with difficulty. "Oh! that'b all right, ma'am, that's all right," returned the undertaker, tapping the coffin merri? ly, "he couldn't get out of it, ma'am, if he had a mind to." Beauty Independent of- Youth.?t Helen, of Troy, was over forty when she perpetrated the most famous elopement on record, and as the siego of Troy lasted a decade, sho must have been quite elderly when the ill fortuno of Paris restored her to her husband, who is reported to havo received her with unquestioning lovo and gratitude. Pericles wedded Aspasia when she was thirty-six, and yet afterward, for thirty years or more, held an undiminished reputation for beauty. Cleopatra was past thirty when Antony fell under her spell, which never lessened until her death, nearly ten years after; and Li via was thirty-three when she won the heart of Augustus, over whom sho maintained her ascendancy to the last. The extra? ordin?r" Diane de Poicticrs was thirty six wh en Henry II of France (then Duke of Orleans, and just half her age.) be? came attached to her; and she was held as the first lady and most beautiful woman at court up to tho period of the monarch's death and of the accession to power of Catherine of Mediein. Anne of Austria ?was thirty-eight when she was the handsomest queen of Eu? rope, and when Buckingham and Riche? lieu were her jealous admirers. Ninon de l'Enclos, the most celebrated wit and beauty of her day, was the idol of three generations of tho golden youth of France, and .was seventy-two when the I Abbe de Bern is fell in lovv with her. A I rare combination of culture, talents and personal attractions endowed their pos? sessor seemingly with the gifts of etorual youth. Bianca Capello was 'thirty-eight when the Grand Duke Francisco, of Flo? rence, fell captive to her charms, and made her his wife, though lie was five years her junior. Louis XIY'wedded Mine, do Maintenon whon sho was foily-threo years of aqo. Catharine II of Russia was thirty-three when she seized the Empire of Russia, and capti? vated the dashing young Orion". Up to the timo of her death (at sixty-seven! she seems to have retained the same be? witching powers, for tho lamentations wero heartfelt among those who had over known her personally. Milo. Mars, the tragedienne, only attained the zenith of her beauty and power between forty and forty-five, when tho loveliness of her hands and arms especially was cele? brated throughout Europe. Mmc. Re camier was thirty-eight when sho was Without disputo declared to be the most beautiful woman in Europe, which rank sho held for fifteen years. The Object of Poetry-.?Poetry re? veals to us tho loveliness of nature, brings back the freshnes.3 of youthful feeling, revives tho relish of simple pleasure, keeps unquenched the enthusiasm I which warmed tho spring-timo of our being, refines youthful love, strengthens our interest in human nature by vivid delineations of its tenderest, loftiest feelings, and through the brightness of I its prophetic visions helps faith to lay hold on the future life. A man boasting of his pedigree to an? other, said that his father was elevated abovo the common herd of men. He was hanged. Mackerel. CHOICE MESS MACKEREL. No. 1, '2 and 3 MACKEREL.
