THE DYING GIRL.
Too late you send the tardy token,
Aiy doom is sealed, iny heart is broken,
My funeral knell
Sounds louder than the lovers word,
Which once my inward soul has stirred:
Farewell, farewell.
I loved thee: and how much how well,
Oh, let a life's ddvotion tell!
And in return you gave
Love which in absence could not live,
On others lavished?and you give
To me an early grave.
Oh waste now repentant word,
Too long/too long was hope deferred,
* And I ant dying now; *
31 v feeble hand cau scarcely place
. The pen aright, these lines to trace,
Or wipe my clammy brow.
I leave thee this "sad legacy?
Willi sleepless memories of ine
Thou?halt be curst!
In the dark caverns of thy soul
.Shall thoughts*arise beyond control?
. r - Remorse be nuret!
I leave thee, too, a golden tress;
J know 'twill not be valueless
When l'm oo more,
1 send tliee, too, the ring and chain;
Thy pictured face I will retain,
Till aR is o'er.
Thy transient faithlessness to me,
Oh, through the veil oTtiuie J see,
Thyself arid not forgive;
The memory of thy buried love
No time, no change will e'er remove,
Whilst thou dost live.
Ypu asi^. forgiveness I it is thine:
For in this dying heart of mine,
, But love can dwell;
My last last, thought shall be of thee?
Tby face the last mine eye shall tee?
fttrewellf farewell!

"I have a good offer for my farm," said Mr.
Far! to bis .wife, "and I- think I shall sell."
"Why do yoo wish to sell it!" said Mrs.
Earl.
"The land is stony and partly worn out I

And fertile, and realize a much larger return for
the same amount of labor "
"If we go into a new country, there wiH .be
no school for our children.^
"Our children are hot old enough to go to
school; by the time they are old enough, it is
more than likely schools may be established
wherever we may go."
"We may-also bo deprived of the privilege of
attesting meeting "
"We can take our Bibles with us, and read
them on the Sabbath, if we should happen to
settle at a distance from a place of meeting."
"It will be better for us to remain here,
whore we can educate our children and bring
them up under the sound of the gospel,"
"1 must do what I think is required for the
intero.-t of my family."
"J'ray remember that property is not the only
thing needed by our children."
A few days after this conversation, the bargain
was ooneluded, and the farm became the
property of Hale, Mr, Earl was to put him in
possession of H early in the Spring.
Mr, Eat) Was descended from one of the ear.
IJf JIUMiaii OCVU^lO VI irjuwui.vv.
cestors, for many generations, had been devout
members of the Church of Christ. He was the
first alien from the commonwealth oflsreal.
His mother was an amiable, but not a pious
woman? and some thought it was owing to
bt>r that bp bad not profited bv the instructions
of Ins pious father, and had turned a deaf ear
to tiie gospel which he had heard from his in*
fancy. He loved Ue world, and in order to secure
a larger portion of its goods, he was willing
to leave the home of his childhood, and the
graves of his fathers, and take up his abode on
Uie borders of civilization.
His wife was one who preferred Jerusalem
to her chief joy. The old time worn out meeting
house, with its high square pews, and huge
sounding-board, was as beautiful to her as the
most faultless specimen of architecture to the
counoisseur. She desired that her children
might grow up under the influence of the
truths which were proclaimed in that house.?
Her chief desire with respect to them, was that
they might become rich in faith, and heirs of
the kingdom. In the spring she was constrained
to bid farewell to her native village. After
a wearisome journey, she found herself and family
in what was then a wilderness, in western
.New York. The gospel was not preached in
- ' * - ai A1. 1 I |
tne vicinity, nor was mere even mo log scnouihouse
erected. For a time, Mr. E., observed
the Sabbath so far as resting from labor was
concerned. He even spent some time in reading
the Bible, but he did not pray. In consequence,
that blessed book was gradually laid
aside.
The climate, and perhaps the labors incident
to a life in a wilderness, caused Mrs. E. to fall
into a decline. When, after a lingering illness,
she bade her husband farewell, she charged hiin
to send her children to her native home, that
they might there be taught, in the school-house
and the church truths which could make them
wise onto salvation. Mr. Earl complied, in part
with his wife's request He sent his daughter
Julia, who was nine years of age, and her younger
brother. The older one he detained to assist
him in his labors.
It was six years before Julia returned to her
father. She had spent that time among the pious
fiiends of her departed mother. She found
the home of her childhood greatly changed.
A neat little village surrounded the tasteful
dwelling now occupied by her father. The
spire of the village church rose aloft, and the
school-house was not far distant. She rejoiced
to return to her home, though she was to meet
its chief charm no more. A cheek was soon
given to her joy. When she snt down to the
m?onitwr ft\i*n I Htfi hi j-aemtr nf ( ? < w i U'flfi m?t hi.
voked. It was with great difficulty that she
could eat When the hour of retiring came;
site was still more unhappy, as the family seperated
without prayer.
Mr. E. soon perceived that his daughter did
not feel at home in this house. It made him
sad at heart, for he had long looked forward to
her return, with hope that she would restore in
part, the loss he had experienced. He said to
Iter one day ?
'J^ia, you do not seem to feel as much at
honte as I would wish.'
After some hesitation, she replied, 'I do not
feel safe here.'
'Do not feel safe!' said he in astonishment.
' I am afraid to live under a roof where there
is no prayer.'
The remark went to the father's heart He
thought of al! the mercies he had received, the
protection he had experienced, unmarked! He
continued to think of his ways, till his soul fainted
within him. He looked at his oldest son,
a Sabbath breaker, and ignorant of God, and
could not conceal the truth, that it was owing
to the act of removing him in childhood from
the means of grace, and exposing him to influences
that in all probability would prove his
ruin.
In a few days he asked Julia to read the
Scripture and pray in the family. It was with
joy that she heard the request but with great
difficulty that she cumplied with it. it was
not till she was reminded of the joy it would
give to her mother, could slid be a witness of
it, that she consented to make the attempt.
In a few weeks on a Sabbath mornin?. the la
ther himself took the Bible, and having read a
portion, kpeeled down, and with tears besought
God to teach his stammering lips how to pray.
Light, peace, and safety took up their abode
iu a dwelling now no longer prayerless.
An Upsrt ,v enter prising Widow
with a prktt . iter ? attentions misunderstood.
i?3w Orleans Crescent relates
a good stoiy of a widow,-in that city, who
bad fixed her heart upon a thriving merchant,
who kept a family grocery store on the corner.
She thus commenced her martial fnauccuvres:
She manoeuvred to have him attend her daughter
to all balls and soirees of the season to which
she had access, and managed to take him to
the theatre in their party on several occasions;
at church on Sunday, our friend was found occupying
a place in her pew as regularly us one ol
the family. Ami more than this ? she opened
uu account at his store, and two or three times
daily, in line weather, Mis* K, vas despatched
to purchase some indispensable nothing,' that
nobody could select but herself ? Hut all this
must have uu end, and an unfortunate one it
was, too.
Her plans worked admirably, for about three
| months. Tom's attention had been generally
remarked, and the gossips of Ins acquaintance
had long settled it among themselves that he was
he was 'in for it,' and the good mother daily
expected and was constantly on the qui vice for
a prmjosal. This was the posture of affairs
when Torn called one morning about 11, ile
was shown into the parlor ,and wus soon joined
by the young lady. After a few moments of
small talk he requested her to be so good as to
send her mother to him, ns he wished to have a
few minutes' conversation with her on business
We acknowledge that there was a slight
trembling of the hands visible as Mrs. 1. smooth
ed her hair to obey the summons. She Had
been successful! Yes! notwithstanding the sarcasms
of the widow M., and the inuendos of the
whole street, she had triumhed!!' These, and
other thoughts of like pleasing complexion,
caused her cheeks to assume an unusual glow;
and there was considerable elation in her step

greeted her future son-in-law.
We have intimated that Tom is honest and
straight-forward; and so without the least circumlocution,
or embarrassment, he approached
the delicate matter.
'As 1 intend,'opened our friend, 'leavingfor
the North the latter part of this week, I thought
I had better have a word with you, Mrs. I., and
come to an understanding about matters.'
' You are perfectly right,' replied the lady; it
is nlwnvs best to settle such things as soon as
possible. But have you spoken to my daughter?'
'Really, madam,' answered Tom,'I have
not True, Miss E. is principally concerned
in the matter?but then she is so very young,
that i thought it would rest wholly with you.'
' Far from it,' exclaimed the cunning mother.
'The matter is left entirely to her, and
whatever she says, I will agree to!'
' In that case.'said Tom, rising and putting
his hand to his pocket, I have oidy to leave the
bill-'
'Bill!?Bill! Sir?' screached the widow.
'Yes, Ma'am; just $59 50?for articles purchased
by Miss E. But why are you surprised?'
' Because, Sir?because I thought you?I
thought?it?had?been uaid. Sir.' making an

effoit but choking with rage. And rising, she
made a dignified inclination, after telliug him
she would send a servant with the money in
the evening, and swept out of the room.
'I wonder,'soliloquized Tom, on his return
from New York, 'what can be the matter with
the I.'s? Miss E. was as cold as an icicle when
I called on her the other evening, and to-day
the old lady gave me the cut direct (Somebody
must have been telling lies on me while I
was gone. I am glad, though, she paid her bill;'
and he resumed his pen, and scratched away at
his books.
The Ladies of Mi las.?A correspondent
of the New-York Commercial Advertiser, in
giving a description of the city of Milan, says:
The ladies of Milan dress themselves with
ranch propriety. Their chief aim appears to be
to emulate eacii other iu simplicity. The gay
colors so common in Southern Italy are seldom
worn by them. They are accustomed to brush
their hair completely from the forehead and
temples. This practice causes them to appear
as neat as Quakeresses. Capes of lace are
worn fitted neatly to the bust, with a narrow
neck collar, hid by a plain pink or azure colored
ribbon. During the revolution it was the
tri-color. The hats are of the cottage form,
rather small and cut in a very modest style.
The favorite flowers among the ladies are the
camelia and the dahlia. Their hats have generally
upon the left side a large full blown camelia
or dahlia, without any other accessory.
The boquets for ladies are principally formed of
these flowers, and the garland and tloral offerings
cast upon the stage to popular actresses,
are of the same composition.
Speaking about hair, it may not be amiss to
say that the ladies of Sorrento, the birth place
of Tasso, braid their tresses and then arrange
them in the form . of a wreath, such as artists
are wont to place upon the brow of their favorite
bard.
Iti Italy, towards the going down 01 the sun
the ladies are accustomed to repair to the balconies
of their habitations and to occupy them
until the evening shades have appeared. At that
pensive hour the balconies are as frames, enclosing
pictures more beautiful than any in the
noblest galleries in the Italian capitals.
Keep voijr Promises.?We have often been
shocked at the reckless disregard which many
persons manilest for fullfilinent of their promises.
They are ever ready to make engagements
for the future, but when the time arrives for
their fulfilment, they seem to huve forgotten
them entirely, or at least to treat them as though
they involved no obligation whutever. Such
conduct is highly injurious in its influence on
? ? ??. ii.. y4..
society, lliasiuucn as II lieceasniuj mjiius iu uf
stroy that confidence of man in man, which is
so essential to the happiness of the community.
It is especially detrimental to the interest of
the individual himself wiio is guilty of it, as he
thereby forfeits the confidence and respect of
his fellows. His word accordingly is not relied
upon, and he is obliged to sutler all the unhappy
consequences. This singular and injurious
habit is one of the most inexcusable of
which any one can be guilty. In ninety-nine
cases out of a hundred, lucre is no absolute necessity
whatever, lor any one to break his word.
.No one should ever make a promise unless he
looks well inLo the circumstances beforehand,
and has every reason to believe that it will be
in his power to fulfil his promise. And when
ever a promise has once been made, it should
! be his fixed determination to keep it; and with
[ a particular reference to this, his subsequent
couduet should ho shaped. Were this course
to be faithfully pursued, not only would the
serious evils resulting from a disregard to one's
word bo avoided, hut also the confidence of those
around speedily gained and enjoyed, and a
character thereby eventually established that
will bo of more value than "ermine, gold or
princely diadems."
What is Kioloov??There is nothing so
much distinguishes the presentage, as the won
derful and inextricable theories we have1 of the
principle of life. The men of the old time
thought they understood it, sufficiently so to
take some care of it?knew what would destroy
it, and what would preserve it. They knew
something of heads and hearts, and were simple
enough to believe that there was a 'will,'
which had something to do with the action of
tne Doay ana rmna. i>ut tnese are old notions,
and will not answer for this reforming age. It
is now found out that the head is a galvanic
battery, and the nerves the wires?just like the
electric telegraph. The theory is called Electro-Biology,
and it will be remembered that one
of the witnesses at the trial of Dr. Webster, was
a lecturer on it. But Mr. Alfred Smee, of the
r? i ci i.. i i t t_i* 1 a _ i _.i_
tvoyaioocieiy 01 rmgianu, nas puousnea a oook
on the subject, which explains the whole affair.
H regards the brain as a great galvanic battery,
and the nerves as galvanic conductors, and illustrates,
by a large variety of the most interesting
experiments, how muscular action is produced,
and how sensation is transmitted from
one part of the body to another.
Scddr.n Dkath.?It is with pain we announce
the death of one of our most esteemed
citizens, Maj. Alexander M. Mclver, who died
in this place on Wednesday evening. Mr. Mclver
had been in delicate health for some time,
but previous to his death, nothing had occurred
to particularly excite the fear of his friends. In
fact, for some days before the sad event occurred,
they, with himself, had been buoved up

wiui uie nupe ^now uemsive.j tuai many iuug
years of health were before him. On the day
of his death, as usual, he was at his office,
where he participated in lively conversation
with some friends up to the moment of his dissolution.
By this painful dispensation of an
All Wise Providence, our town has lost one of
its most esteemed and gifted citizens, the* State
one of its most able and efficient Officers, the
Baptist Church one of its most zealous and exemplary
members, and his family one of the
most devoted and beloved of husbands and fathers.
With the latter, in their irreparable and
sad bereavement, our whole community deeply
sympathises.
Mr. Mclver was Solicitor of the Eastern
Circuit, to which office he was elected for the
third term by the last Legislature.

Cunioos Facts.?It is a singular fact, remarks
the Philadelphia Bulletin, that within a
space of a little over nine years there have been
six Presidents of the United States: Van Buren,
March 3d, j841 ; Harrison, from March
4th to April 4th, 1841; Tyler, from April 4th,
1841, to March '4th, 1845; Polk,
4th, 1845. to March 4tb, 1849; Taylor, from
March 4tf), 1849, to July 9th, 1850, and on the
10th of July, 1850, Millard Fillmore succeeded
to the office. Previous to that time, there had
been eight occupants of the office during a period
of fifty-two years. The periods of service,
age, <!tc., of the various Presidents, from Washington
to Taylor, inclusive, are given below:
Age at Age at
Service. Retired. Died. Retire't* Death.
Washington, 8 years 1797 1799 66 68
John Adams, 4 M 1801 1816 66 90
Jefferson, 8 u 1809 1816 66 84
Madison, 8 " 1817 1836 66 86
Mo nroe, 8 ? 1825 1831 66 72
J. Q. Adams. 4 " 1829 1848 62 81
Jarksnn. 8 M 1837 1845 70 78
Van Buren, 4 M 1841 69
Harrison, 1 mo. 1841 69
Tyler, 3y. 11m. 1845 55
Polk, 4 years 1849 1849 54 54
Taylor, 1 y. 4m. * 1850 66
James K. Polk was the youngest of the Presidents
at the time of his inauguration, being but
49 years and 4 months old. Mr. Fillmore is
the next youngest, being at the present time fifty
years old. Jaekson was the oldest of the
Presidents at the time of his retirement, and
John Adams was the oldest at the time of his
death. The youngest of the Presidents at the
time of his retirement and his death was James
K. Polk.
The Dead.?Who can estimate the number
of the dead since the creation of man. ine
mighty army would exceed all human belief.
Large as the surface of the earth is, enough j?ersons
have died since the world began to cover
it entirely with their graves.
Extract of a Sermon.?The reader is expected
to take this assertion as he does what is pronounced
good sound orthodox doctrine, without
questioning or examination, but submitted to a
mathematical test its absurdity is monstrous.
The surface of the earth, supposing its diameter
to be 7,921 miles, which is very nearly correct,
contains 197,111,024 square miles, or 9,851,139,927,921,600
square feet. Allowing,
then, every grave to be the usual size, six teet
by two, and this surface is capable of burying
side by side 820,928,327,326,800 individuals.
1'here is no data by which the population of
the world since the commencement of creation
can be estimated, but admitting that it was al
ways what it now is, whicn is more uian can ue
claimed, and that each person averaged a life of
thirty years, then there would have been a population)
of 180,000,000,000, a number infinitely
less than the surface of the earth is capable of
accommodating with space. The State of Pennsylvania
contains 47,000 square miles, or 1,308,
100,800,000 square feet. Two States the size
of Pennsylvania would be sufficient for the
graves of 218,017,800,000 persons, or 3o,ui /,800,000
more than all the population of the
world which has existed, so that no person in
the present generation need bo in a hurry to secure
his lot for fear that he would have to lie
double.?PhiJa. Ledger.
