VOLUME 7. CAMDEN^ S( )T 1'IM Al>'( M.IXA. JAMARY <;. |x.~>2. IS LIMBER 2. r?^? THE dORAL GROVE. BY JAMES G. PEP.CIVAL. Deep in the wave is a coral grave, Where the purple mullet and gold-fish rave; Where the sea-flower spreads its leaves of* blue, That never are wet with felling dew, But in brigut and changeful beauty shine, Far down in the green and glassy brine. The flnnr is nfsand. like the mountain drift. And the pearl-shells spangle the flinty snow; ? From coral rocks the sea-plants lift 1 Their boughs, where the tides and billows flow; L The water is calm and still below, For the winds and waves are absent there, And the sands are bright as the stars that glow In the motionless fields of upper ain There, with its waving blade of green, The sea-flag streams through the silent water, A ? -* *1? nC ihn /Inlco ic coon nilU UJtJ 1,1 IliJdUU ICtfl Ul iUW W M luv .w ?vw.. To blush, like a banner bathed in slaughter There, with a light and easy rmtion, The fan-coral sweeps through the clear deep sea; And the yellow and scarlet tufts of ocean Are bending like corn on the upland lea: And life, in rare and beautiful forms, Is sporting amid these bowers of stone, And is safe, when the wrathful spirit of storms Has made the top of the wave his own: And when the ship from his fury flies, Where the myriad voices of ocean roar, When the wind-god frowns in the murky skies And demons are waiting the wreck on shore; Then, far below, in the peaceful sea, The purple mullet and gold-fish rove, Where the waters murmur tranquilly Through the bending twigs of the coral grave. GOD IS EVERYWHERE. When we pray we are to remember thai God is everywhere present; and that although thousands of His children, and tens of thousands may be addressing Him, He hears them all. Oar weak voices cannot be distinguished at a little distance; and many times, like the mother of little Samuel, our hearts pray, when our lips do uot speak. God who is everywhere, hears all who pour out their hearts to Him. This is wonderful, and past our understanding; but it is nevertheless true. To such as strive, in the love and fear of God, to do His will, it is a pleasant, though awful thought, that He sees all we do, and hears nil say; and that hot only so, but he knows also ^^^^our thoughts before even we know theui. His eye is everywhere, beholdiug the evil and the good.. The child who remembers this great truth is a good counsellor for the man who il.rae fr> fnr<rot it VVp met nnt Iniift since. in oar reading, an anecdote which may well be repeated in this place. A man who was in the habit of going to a neighbor's corn field to steal the grain, one day he tooh his son, of aboul eight years old, with him. The father told him to hold the bag, while he looked on to watch il any one was near to sec him. After standing on the fence and peeping through all the rows of com, be returned to take the bag from the child, and began his sinful work. "Father,' said the boy, "yon forget to look somewhere else." "Which way, child?" supposing he hac seen some one. "You forget to look to the sky, to see if God was noticing yon." The father felt this reproof of the child so much that he left the corn-field, and returned home and never again ventured to steal; remember ing the truth that he had learned from the child that the eye of God always beholds us. Sach an occurrence as this may remind the reader of the saying of Holy Scripture?"Oui of the moaths of liabes thou hast perfectec praise." Unfortunately, too many men, wist in wisdom of thia world, arc prone to for get God. Some, though the mind car hardly realize such wicked foolishness, affec to deny that there is a God. Such men mnj be, with a very plain argument, silenced, if no1 convinced; and convinced even when they wii not acknowledge it There is a beautiful storj from the German, which our readers may not I perhaps, have seen, and which we will here re peat, since it embodies in a brief space the grea argument, apart from Scripture, for God's ex istonce?which is, thet God, the Creator, ii seen in all His works. "In that beautiful part of Germany," sayi the narrative; "which borders on4 the Rhine,' there is a noble castle, which as you travel 01 the western bank of the river, you may see lift ing its ancient towers on the opposite side above the grove of trees about as old as itself. "About forty years ago there lived in th? castle a noble gentleman, whom we shall cal Baron -* , He had an only son, who wa not only a comfort to his father, but a blessinj to ail who lived on his father's land. "It happened on a certain occasion that thi young man being from home, there came i French gentleman to seo the castle, who begai y to talk of hia heavenly Father in terms tha chilled the old man's blood; on which the Baroi reproved him, saying. "Are you not afraid o 1* r* J ?1_ . _ _i u onenaing uoa, wno reigns auove, uy Bpcamuj in such a manner?" The gentleman said h M knew nothing about God, for he had never seei Hun. The Baron this timo did not notic what the gentleman said, but the next morn ing took him about his castle-grounds, and tool 'Occasion first to show him a very beautiful pic ture that hung on the wall. The gentlemai admired the picture very much and said, "Wh ever drew this picuture knows very well ho\ to use the penciL" "My son drew the picture," replied the Ba b' ron. "Then your son is a clever man," replied th ^ gentleman. ^ "The Baron then went with his visitor int ll the garden, and showed him many beautifu [flowers and plantations of forest trees. "Who has the ordering of this garden?" askthe gentleman. "My son," replied the Baron; he knows every plant, I may say, from the cedar of Lebanon to the hyssop on the wall.' "Indeed," said the gentleman; "I shall think very highly of him soon." "The Baron then took him into the village and showed him a small, neat cottage, where his son had established a school, and where he caused all young children who had lost their parents to be received and nourished at his own ! expense. The children in the house looked so I innocent and so happy, that the gentleman was very much pleased, and when he returned to ! the castle he said to the Baron, "What a happy ! ! man yotrnre to have so good a son?" * I i "How do von know I have so rmod a son?" I I "Because I have seen his works, and I know ' that he must be good and clever, if he has done ! all that you have showed me." "But you have not seen him." "No, but I know him very well, because I I judge of him by his works." "True," replied the Baron; "and in this way I judge of the character of our heavenly Father. I know by his works that he is a being of infinite wisdom,"and power, and goodness." The scoffer was silenced. He h?d answered his own wickedness and folly I y his own words, and could say no more. It is not the wisest who scoff at religion and piety; for true wisdom begins in the fear of the Lord. And , gratitude presses us to love so good a .being, and to be heedful of all the means which he has appointed, by which His will, and obey His commandments. Foremost among these, are the reading of His Word, r.nd the duty of prayer. By the first we learn our duty, and by the second we are assisted to do it. Nor should we ever profane or inis-improve the Christian Sabbath. There are many perverse thoughts : and temptations which would sway us to erior, i or negligence in this respect: but there is a very old rhyme, which is worthy ol being committed i to memory as a check upon the desire to negI lect our religious duties. It reads: ?? 1 "A Sabbath well spent Brings a week of content , And he.alth for the toils ot to-morrow; But a Sabbath profaned, Whatso'er may be gained, 5s a certain forerunner of sorrow." This is a ditty very simple in its language? j and it is as true as it is easily understood, It [ was written two hundred years ago, and by a , very distinguished person, Sir Mnthew Hale. ' . Sir Matthew was a judge in England, and , , made many decisions in cases which came | Ykl*l lllm U'!llf*ll OPA f PAA KAIltl * PilfoPfO/l I , e\e i by our lawyers and judges; but he never made a decision embodying more true wisdom , than is contained in those lines. He was so , studious that it is related of him that he studied [ sixteen hours out of the twenty.four; and his ; Sunday's repose and the calmness of his devoi tionsgnve him strength for the great labors f which he accomplished. Let us all then, while r we remember that God is everywhere, and that i His wisdom is seen in His works, acknowledge > and obey the wisdom which made tho Sabbath ' for man, and blessed the seventh day, and hal. lowed it.?Mentor. ! THE FRENCH REVOLUTION. 5 The details of this event only came to , hand yeiierday. They supply the links of , that chain of circumstances bv which, with little bbjc.dshed, as great a revolution lias > been cju.ptly consummated in France as lias ever characterized the annais of any counJ try. The overthrow of a Constitution solj cmnly established, the dispersion of the body in whiclb'by that Constitution, the legisla5 live power resided, with the suppression of the highdst Court of Judicature for trying t political ?fl*ences. amount to as signal a , change ol Goveruient, short of the subvert sion of tie Executive authority itself, as l could be accomplished without popular vi f olence, and by the direct application of mili, tary power. But this change, great as it is, is not the least remarkable of the circutnt stances wkich distinguish this revolution. - The usurpation of power, with an obsers vance of the forms of the elective principle, is as barefaced a proceeding as the act of ? breaking up flu existing Govermcnt, of which it is skillfully made the adjunct. 1 Louis Napdeon pays an apparent homage to universal aiffrnge not only in the people, ' but the army. Vet who does not see that it 2 is to the latter he in reality bows, and j means to owe lis present, elevation. The s entire army, fficers and soldiers, are to j cast their votes in favour or against his assumption of dictatorial power within fortys eight hours after the promulgation of the i decree investing them with the suffrage, a i whilst the people are to pass upon what has t j been predetcruined by the President and a | his adviser, tweve days afterwards. But f! this is not all. louis Napoleon nominates ? himself as the imkcr of a new constitution e dispensing altogetier with a constituent bo11 dy. He professis to ask popular consent 0 to a foregone conclusion. All that the peoI" pie have to do inthe matter is to indicate their acquiesenee, mder this rcpblican phase ?r .... ?i i,?...:?,i.?? ;r >u.. Ill limvi;i>ai aumua- iviiwyviii" uiai n hiuy n . P vole in the negative confusion and anarchy v will follow. The} are flattered with a nominal cornplimen, whilst the substantive exercise of power it assumed by the Executive and the Army e So long as that amy is not disaffected, the President will retain die means of subduing o opposition. How l<ng lie will be able to il continue popular will the army, and the j people depends on otltr appliances than the distribution of rewards to officers, and dispensing largesses and civil privileges to tl?e soldiery. No ruler in France lias been able to keep his scat of usurpation unless the national energy is drawn off, and the national vanity fed bv triumphs abroad. The 18th Brurnaire would have been a barren victory over the people to Napoleon Bonaparte. if the French eagle had not been made triumphantly to traverse the fields of Italy. Louis Napoleon's lease of power cannot but be of short duration, with nothing but the sad prospect of warring factions, and the imminence of immediate anarchy, as circumstances fovoring his continued elevation. If he is accepted as a choice between two evil-,?Monarchy and Demo cratic socialism?lie must do something more potential than a cnip <le main?a mere stiprisc?to subdue the formidable op. , position which must soon arise to displace him from his seat of usurped authority. He will soon have marshalled against him almost all the civic and a great part of that military ability which acquired glory for France in her recent African campaigns and in her Parliamentary Halls. These leaders of opposition, so irreconcilable when in rivalship lor the supreme power, will coalesce into firm union, when animated bv a coin mon hatred against the enemy of all. For the present, therefore, the desire of repose will produce a forced acquiescence in a rule of authority which owes its success to sud- ' ( denness, and a certain daring, captivating to ( the minds of Frenchmen, but there is something so permanently hostile in the elements so forcibly conjoined as universal suffrage and an autocracy maintained by bayonets?so entirely rcpugant as the elective principle applied in choosing those who are | to make the laws, and its denial, in the highest exercise of popular sovereignty, in choosing those who are to form a constitution ?that a ten years term of Executive power is inconceiveable. Old VVhitcy, the well known charger of the late Gen. Taylor, was in the line of procession to receive Kossuth, in New York. The Tribune says: "He was harnessed to a light wagon and , decorated with rosettes and a rich velvet cloth edged with silver, bearing the initials T. E. J., those of ihe present owner. The old charger looked well, and seemed nearly as spirited as when he bore the hero'of Buena Vista through the dangers of the bittle field." The new steamship James Adger, intended to run between Charleston and New York, will be launched in the latter city .about the 1st ofJanuary inst. Secession and Annexation?A citizen of Licking county, Ohio, lately had two daughters to elope from his house on one day. One went off with her "lover," and while j her father pursued her, the other also.? D ?th succeeded in getting married. , "Well, miss," said a knight of the birchen rod," Can you decline a kiss?" "Yes sir," said the girl, dropping a perplexed curtesy, "lean, but I would rather not." A Comparison.?An honest old lady in . the country, when told of her husband's death, exclaimed, "Well, I do declare, our troubles never come alone! It nint a week since 1 lost my best hen, and now Mr. Job- J son lias, gone, too, poor man!" Hint to Young Ladies.?The best dowry to advance the marriage of a young lady is, lo have in her countenance mildness, in her speech wisdom, aud in her behavior modesty. A young gentleman the other day asked a young lady what she thought of the marriage state in general.4 i\ot knowing I can't tell was the reply, but ifyou and I were to put our heads together I could soon give you a definite answer."
