THE CEASELESS MARCH. I
BY EDWARD \VM. DAVIS. '
There is a ceaseless, ceaseless march,
And it is forever forward; (
It has no halt 'neath Heaven's arch,
For the brave man or the coward, }
Unswerving!}' and silentl}', . <
Like the earth's diurnal rounds,
In one sure course it steadily 1
Moves in its appointed bounds. (
It is the march through time to death,
From embryo life to parting breath.
E'er mortals issue from the womb, I \
To enter 011 this world of strife, t
They wend their way towaids the ton.b,
And march to death from dawn of life,
Souls answer souls, hearts beat with hearts, *
For thus the law hath always stood, !"
J
That differing: only in their parts, ..
They form but one great brother-hood ; * 1
And joining tnarch through time to death
Futi) embryo life to parting breath.
<!
Lone Tadmor in the wilderness,
In mournful ruin greets the eye, j:
Where once her hosts were numberless,
And her column'd Temples rose on high,
Where are the crowds who in their day, f
Sweli'd out the ranks in ancient hours? r
Th'-y came and went, they passed away
As transiently as spring-tide flowers. s
They all uiarch'd on through time to death, ! c
From einbryojhfe to parting breath. h
v
None are exempt on this frail globe, h
All aid to swell some motley rank; t
From the Monarch with his jewel'd robe, h
To the boggar in his hovel dank. 1
The gray hair'd sire tottering slow,
The smiling infant in its glee,
The good and great?the mean and low,
In vast successive ranks we sec :
All inarchiiiir n - rom!, time to ih a<h,
From tiubn nil- l as.in; breath.
Since no one bun the ranks may flee, *Let's
wisely use our time on earth, l'
Meeting each issue tranquilly,
And strive to gain a holier birth. j
Eternal love has <!< ign\l to give, (i
A certain promise from on high, s
And all who trust; in bliss may live, i
And from a second death may fly. ii
Then as we leave this w rid orstrife, li
Oh ! let us march from death to life. 11

k*.?A few evenings since, sitting by his own ^
reside, after a day of severe labor in the Sti- v
renie Court, Mr. Webster introduced the last s
abbath's sermon, and discoursed in aniinated |,
nd glowing elo'juencc for an hour on the great *
ruths of the gospel. I cannot, but regard the c
pinions of such a man in some sense as public ^
roperty. This is mv apology for attempting to v
?ca 11 some of those remarks which were uttered r
i the privacy of the domestic circle. (]
Said Mr. Webster: "Last Sabbath I listened c
) an able and learned discourse upon the cvi
encos of Christianity, The arguments were
rophcey, history, with internal evidences. They P
ere stated with logical accuracy and force; but,
s it seemed to me, the clergyman failed to draw
om them the right conclusion. He came so
ear the truth that 1 wjis astonished he missed |
. In summing up his arguments, he said the
nly alternative presented by those evidences is j
Itis: Either Christianity is true or it is a delu- .
ion: Such is not the alternative, said the critic,
lit it is true: The gospel is either true history 'j
r it is a consummate fraud; it is either a reality t
r an imposition. Christ was what he professed N
j be or he was an impostor. There is no other .
Urinative. Jlis spotless life in his enforcement j
f the truth, his suffering in its defence, forbids
s to suppose that he was suffering an illusion of (
heated brain. I j
"Every act ??f his pure and holy li e shows j
Kit lie was the author of truth, the advocate of
ruth, the earnest defender of truth, and the unomplnitiiug
sufferer for truth. Now, considerig
the purity of his doctrines, the simplicity of
is life, and the sublimity of his death, is it posihle
that he woii'd have died for an illusion?? '
u all his preaching the Savior made no popular
j?peals. ilis discourses were all directed to the
dividual. Christ and his Apostles sought to
npress upon every man the conviction that he
lust stand or fall aloiu?he must live for himelf
and die lor himself, and give up his account ,|

When I am thus admonished I have no disposi
lion to muse or to sleep. 'These topics,' sail
Mr. Webster, 'have often occupied my thoughts
mil if I had time I would write upon them my
self."
The above remarks arc but a meager and im
icrfect abstract, from memory, of one of themosl

'hoinas Meanv, beeame acquainted some short
inn: since with a young girl of the name ol
Ionore Keanc. 1 hey frequently walked togethr;
but a few days since, the girl fancied that
he was slighted by him, and as she was anxious
u keep him to herself, she consulted some one
11 the neighborhood how she should accomplish
icr desires. The iloctress, according to her skill,
undo up a draught for the girl, and on Sunday
ist, the parties having, as was customary, taken
country excursion, the ?irl induced him to take

Tiie Wit of Sarcasm.?To be sarcastic is
' thought by some people a proof of ability. Such
t 1 tut mm. 1 ll'l lo ol*A liL-ft n lionl: rif uliiliAcn Afofllmrc
thrown into a crowd, continually exploding in
every direction, but with greater noise than injury.
There is more ill-breeding than wit in sart
casm ; and more ill nature than either. True
- wit does not consist in abuse, but in profound
.* wisdom tersely expressed.?Nothing, therefore,
i can be further from wit than sarcasm, and where
, they go together one is pressed into the service,
: and is not a legitimate ally,
i Nevertheless, we know many, mostly young
i persons, who set up tor wits on the score ot sarcasm.
Tliuy are usually very conceited, or very
foolish, or very unamiable individuals, and by no
( means the terror to others they imagine, Fer.
sons of sense are no more affected by their sarcasms
than mastiffs are by the yelp of a lap-dog. '
; A real wit never condescends to reply to them.
. Wc have known many of such sarcastic persons
in our experience, and always found they cured '
themselves of this childish habit as soon as they 1
i grew up ; or if they did not, that they remained 1
children in their tempers to the end of their ca- j
reer. It is a mean sort of revenge that seeks to '
gall anotliers feeling's by sarcasm ; for where it 1
chances to be successful, it is like thecoppershot
of the Mexicans, which gangrenes the wound. ^
IIow to '"Finish" a Daughter.?For the at- .
tainmcnt of this end Hunch gives the following (
directions: ,
1. lie always telling her how pretty she is. ,
2 Instil into her mind a proper love of dress. \
3. Accustom her to so much pleasure, that j
f she is never happy at home. <
4. Allow her tore-ad nothing but novels.
5. Teach her all the accomplishments, but .
. none of the utilities of life. s
G. Keep h*r in the darkest ignorance of the |
mysteries of housekeeping. (
7. Initiate her into the principle that it is vul- ,
gar to do anything for herself. <
8. To strengthen the latter belief, let her have |
. a ladies' maid. <
0. And lastly having given her such an edu- ,
i cation, marry hoi to a clerk in the Treasury upon
, ?73 a year or to an ensign that is going out to |
India. |
If, with the above careful training your daugh- ,
ter is not iiuishedyou may be sure it is no fault
i of yours, and you must look upon her escape as
. nothing short of a miracle.
i. Devotion.?A devout heart is like a warm
, | spring gushing through an iceberg. As the :
; i spr'"g melts its way through tI:o ice, so the spirit
of zealous piety hursts through all opposition
; and worldly mindedncss, and pours out streams '
r of holy and permanent influence on the world
at large.
i It is not a little reforming will save the man;
i no, nor all the morality in the world, nor all the
I i c unmon grars of God's Spirit, nor the outward
i \ change of the life; they will not do, unless we are
> quickened, and have a ucw life wrought in us.

J' thai is not perfectly proper. I'se no profane expressions?allude
to no sentence that will j>tit
' to blush the most sensitive. You know not the
, tendency of habitually using indecent and pro
j fane language. It may never be obliterated
from your heart. When you grow up, will find
at your tongue's end some expression which you
' would not use for any money. It was one
learned when you were quite young. By being
careful, you w ill save yourself a great deal of
mortification and sorrow. Good men have boon
taken sick, and became delirious. In these moI
incuts they have used the most vile and indecent

Fatal Coxflict at a Ball.?The locksmiths
of Copenhagen assembled with their wives aud
female friends ten days ago in a public house to
have a dance. Six soldiers presented themselves
and demanded admission. They were at first
refused, but the stewards at length consented to
allow them to enter, provided they would lay
aside their swords. The soldiers declared they
would not do so, and went away in anger. Presently
they returned with several of their comrades
; each had a drawn sword in his hand.?
The door was closed; they broke it open ; but
the workmen being more numerous expelled
them. Irritated at their defeat, the soldiers began
to attack everybody who passed. A police
patrol arrived and ordered them to disperse.
They refused; a conflict ensued, and three of
the policemen were mortally wounded.
Shortly after between 100 and 150 soldiers
from the barracks in Silver street rushed about
the streets armed with swords, and struck every
one they met, shouting as they did so, 'down
with the citizens! Hurrah for the soldiers!'
Some of them even nf.fpmnfo.1
- ..... iviuim: tucjr niljf
into the houses. After a while a detachment of
cavalry and artillery arrived, and the ringleaders
were arrested. The next day the soldiers and
non-commissioned officers were confined to their
barracks, and an order was. issued that henceforth
soldiers and non-commissioned officers shall **
not appear in arms except when on duty. The
number of persons wounded in the outbreak was
35, and of killed 0, one of the latter being a
woman.
Private Character of a Locomotive.?
People who may see a locomotive tearing up and
lown the land, at a gait of forty miles an hour
?making the very earth groan beneath its giant
tread, and the heavens themselves reverberate
with its fearful clatter?scaring nature with its
mearthly din, and frightening all creation from
ts propriety almost?people who only see it in
:errible activity, have no idea what eminently
social virtues it is endowed with. This is their
public character. Their private one is another
itfair. Now and then one of these huge monsters,
in whose iron bowels slumber more than a
thousand giant powers, comes up and stands un:lcr
our window, as gently as the most exemplary
cooking stove, its huge steam pipes singing a
strain as soft and :is dulcet as that, most, amiable
tea kettle, anil its lungs of steel breathing as
iweetlv as an infant in its slumbers. Let him
Xripe those iron hands, and the pipes which were
tuned to so soft a strain, send forth a yell as if
heaven and earth were coming together, and
those lungs, which first breathed so quietly,
cough like a volcanoe? and off it goes darkening
the heavens with its dense volume of smoke.
A mystic belle who came tnppiug iuto the
house one evening from the fields, was told by _ ^
her city cousin that she looked as fresh as a daisy
kissed with dew. " Well it wasn't any fellow of
that name, but Bill Jones, that kissed me: and
confound his picture, I told him everybody would
find him out."
A Gkaxd Remedy.?The Secretary of Fayette
County Bible Society in Ohio, reporting the annual
meeting of that Society, says: "Thirty-five
years ago, we had thirty distilleries in our county,
and mo church; we have now thirty churches
and no distillery."
Good Husbands make Good Wives.'?There
is something very lovely in seeing a woman overcome
those little domestic disquiets which erery
mistress of a family lias to contend with, sitting
down to her breakfast-table in the morning with
a cheerful countenonce, and endeavoring to promote
innocent and pleasant conversation among
her little circle. But vain will bo her amiable
efforts at pleasure, unless she is assisted by her
husband and other members around, and truly
it is an unpleasant sight to see a family, when
collected together, instead of enlivening the quiet
scene with a little good humored chat, sitting
like statues as if each is unworthy the attention
of the other. And then, when a stranger comes
in, < > dear ! such smiles, and auiniatiou and loquacity
! An ingenious writer says, "if a painter
wished to draw the finest object in the world, it
would be the picture of a wife, with eyes expressing
the serenity of her mind, and a countenance
beaming with benevolence, one hand lulling to
rest on her arm a lovely infant, the other employed
in presenting a moral page to another
sweet bal>e, who stands at her knee listening to
the words of truth and wisdom from its incomparable
mother."
IIorkiole Effects of Intemperance.?One
of the most shocking anil painful illustrations of
the use of ardent spirits, occurred in this city on
Wednesday morning. Esquire Eowekamp, who
is the overseer of the poor for the ninth Ward,
was called upon to visit an Irish family residing
in an alley between Abigail and Woodward, and
Main and Sycamore streets. On entering the
