Lin** suggested by the death of Mrs. S. J. Seay, mho
died in Poicellon, Sth Sept., 1857.
She sleeps that still and pleasant sleep
For *i'ich the weary pant in yb ! i ;
Aiyi the dews of evening weep
“6’er her we ne’er shall see again.
Asa bright angel she was here,
So lovely and so pure,
But she hath pass’d where spirits are
To dwell with us no more.
We miss the kindness of her voice,
The beauty of her brew,
The sweetest words we ever heard,
Are silent to us now ; •
Then
Bright be the place of thy soul!
No lovelier spirit than thine 4
E’er burst from its mortal control,
In the orbs of the blessed to shine
On Earth thou wert all but divine,
As thy soul shall immortally be ;
And our sorrows may cease to repine
When we know that thy God is with thee;
JULIA.
The Treasures of the Deep.
DT MRS. HEMANS.
Yet more, the depths have more ! What wealth untold,
Far down, ana shining through their stillness lies !
Thou hast the stary gems, the burning gold,
Won from ten thousand royal agosies.
Sweep o’er thy spoils, thou wild and wrathful main!
Earth claims not these again.
Yet more, the billows and the depth have more!
High hearts and brave are gathered to thy breast!
They hear not the booming waters roar,
The battle-thunders will not break their rest.
Keep thy red gold and gems, thou stormy grave 1
• Give back the true and brave !
Give back the lost and lovely ; those for whom
The place was kept at board and hearth so long,
The prayer went up through midnight’s breathless
gloom,
And the vain yearning woke ’midst festal song.
Hold fast thy buried isles, thy towers o’erthrowu,
But all is not thine own.
To these the love of woman hath gone down,
Dark flow thy tides o’er manhood's noble head,
O’er youth’s bright locks and beauty’s flowery crown.
Yet must thou hear a voice—Restore the dead !
Earth shall reclaim her precious things from thee !
Restore the dead, thou sea!
A Magpie in Church.
Such, certainly, was the case, when Jack,
a magpie, well known in the village of
in the county of Kent, for his mis
chievous propensities, entered the village
church in the afternoon of Sunday, July
25, 1852, during the time of divine ser
vice. Our friend hopped quietly in at the
open door, and for a time, surveyed the
congregation, recognizing many a friend
who was wont to greet him with words of
kindness and familiarity ; but upon this
occasion, Jack was surprised at finding
that no notice was taken of him. At last
he seem determined that he would not be
thus overlooked, and down the middle
aisle he marched, knocking at the door of
each pew, and announcing his arrival to
the inmates with a clear loud “Here am
I.” This move had the desired effect; for
in a very few moments, every eye was
turned upon our hero. The worthy par
son, finding himself in a decided minority,
and perceiving broad grins coming over
the before solemn faces of his flock, at once
stopped the service and desired the clerk
to eject the intruder. But the order was
more easily given than executed. Jack
was determined not to leave, and so find
ing himself pursued, took refuge in a for
est of legs belonging to his young friends,
the school children, who did not appear at
all unwilling to afford him shelter. The
clerk rushed on, intent upon catching the
enemy, and putting an end to this unor
thodox proceeding, and over, first a bench
and then a child, lie stumbled, in his at
tempts to pounce upon the fugitive, who
easily evaded his grasp and always ap
peared just where the clerk was not, in
forming him, ever and anon, of his where
about hy the old cry : “ Here am I.” At
last, with the help of two of three of the
congregation who had joined in the pur
suit, a capture was effected, and Jack was
ignominously turned out and the door
closed upon him. After the lapse of a
few minutes, solemnity were
restored in the church ; and the prayers
were recommenced and ended without
further distiPbance. The parson, in due
time, ascended to the pulpit. He gave
out his text and commenced a -discourse
calculated, no doubt, to be of much bene
fffcyto his hearers ; but he had not proceed
ed when he was interrupted by a loud
by rapping at the lit
tll window at the back of the pulpit.—
Turning around to ascertain the cause, he
beheld our friend Jack pecking away at
the window, flapping his wings against it,
and screaming at the top of his voice,
“Here am I—here am I”—a fact which no
one could gainsay, or resist laughing at.
The worthy parson, finding his own gravi
ty and that of his congregation so entire
ly upset by what had occurred, brought
his sermon to a speedy conclusion, and
dismissed the congregation. Sentence of
death was recorded against the offender,
but upon the petition of a number of the
parishioners, it wa9 commuted to banish
ment for life from tbe precincts of the
church. —Fraziers Magazine.
The Three Great Powers.
The Press, the Pulpit, and Woman, are
the three great powers of the earth—the
irresistible levers which constantly raise
humanity to a higher and still higher de
gree of progress. Without them, the bot
tom of things would fall out, and society
be spilled back into original chao9. And
pf those Powers womati is the j
est. The Press makes the people intelli
gent and patriotic: Woman makes them
industrious, generous, and romantic. —
The Press rules our intellect, the Pulpit,
our consciences, Woman our hearts. The
Press sways jfublic opinion, and the Pul
pit sways moral conviction ; but Woman
sways all things. There would be a fall
ing off even in church-going, were there
no girls ther£; and if woman is not “first
in war,” she is certainly “first in peace,
andlir6t in the hearts of her countl-y men.”
And she has her influence in war, too;
men would not fight merely for masculine
applause. It is “for the gisls he has left
behind him,” that the soldier bears his
burdens, runs his risks, and deals his stur
diest blows; and his laurel wreath of tri
umph would be but a barren symbol could
he not lay it at her feet. The world is
f governed more by the heart than by the
lead ; and the heart is woman’s empire,
wherein she rules to elevat and refine.—
Without the sunshine of her influence, the
heart of man would be a bog filled with
noxious growth—a mere fungus oozing
alone, in which the rose of affection would
never germinate nor the flowers of elo
quence bloom. Woman is the engine of
life —the great motive power of love, val
our, ambition and civilization. May for
tune favor her, man protect her, and God
bless her.— Conductor.

Marriage of two Mutes by a Mute
Clergyman.
In the city of Lexington, on the eve
ning of August sth, was witnessed such a
marriage ceremony as perhaps never oc
curred in the United States, certainly not
in the State of Kentucky. Mr. John
Blount, the bridgegroom, is a deaf mute,
who was brought up in Alabama, hut re
ceived his education in the Kentucky In
stitution for the deaf and dumb, at Dan
ville, where he is at present an accom
plished and highly esteemed instructor.—
He is a tall and fine looking specimen of
man, and is a gentleman, in every sense
of the word. Miss Lucretia Ann Hoag
land, the bride, is also a deaf mute. She
was educated in the Institution at Dan
ville, and would pass for a beautiful and
accomplished lady in any circle of socie
ty. Mr. And Mrs. Wm. Hoagland, the
parents of the Jbride, at whose house the
marriage took place, are also both of them
deaf mutes. They received their educa
tion some twenty five or thirty years since
at the same institution. They have three
other children—two of whom hear and
talk ; their youngest, a little boy of nine
years old, is like the bride, a mute, and
expects before long to go to the same in
stitution, to obtain that inestimable bless
ing—a good education—which his father,
mother and sister have received before
him.
There were also present, as invited
guests, some twelve or fifteen educated
mutes, all of them present, or former pu
pils of the above named institution.
The attendant of the bride, Miss Mary
Boyd, from Harrison county, was as mod
est, beautifully dressed a lady as adorns
any drawing room. She was formerly a
classmate ot the bride. Other young la
dies who were mutes, were present, who
attracted marked attention by their per
sonal charms as well as by their superior
intelligence. Young gentlemen, also,
were not wanting, of fine appearance, ed
ucation and manners to lend interest to
the occasion. In addition to the mutes
who were present, were others who, from
intercourse with the family of the bride
or in some other way had become famil
iar with the sign language, so that the
conversation of the evening was held
chiefly in the beautiful patomime of the
deaf and dumb.
But that which, perhaps, gave the most
peculiar interest tef the occasion, was the
fact that the marriage ceremony was cele
brated in the sign language of the deaf
and dumb. The officiating clergyman
was Kev. S. B. Cheek, Vice-Principal of
our State Institution at Danville. JSTot a
word was heard during the whole ceremo
ny, the .prayer, the propounding of the
marriage covenant, the benediction, and
the blessing of the wedding feast, were
all performed in the graceful and eloquent
though voiceless language of nature,
which may be termed the vernacular of
the deaf and dumb. The mutes who were
present all testified their peculiar delight,
saying they had often witnessed marriages
before, but had not understood what was
actually said and done until this occasioE.
It -was, taken altogether, emphatically a
mute festival, in which all parties were
delighted, and which furnished a most
striking exemplification of what has been
done and can be done for the unfortunate
mute.
From the Messenger & Recorder.
Query.
Bro. Siegfried—Will you please give
your views on the following passage of
scripture, viz: “ The Kingdom of Ilea
v n mffereth violence, and the violent tal 4
it by force /” Who are the violent, and
hovvdo they take it by force? Give your
views iu the Messenger.
Yours, J. A. P.
Answer— By the phrase “the kingdom
of heaven,” in this connection, we under
stand the Gospel Church, or Visible king
dom of Christ. “The violent are such
as, being thoroughly aroused to a sense of
their lost and ruined condition as sinners,
violently tear themselves away from the
net of the destroyer, and besiege the
throne of grace with continual and impor
tunate entreaty—as a drowning man
would cling to a life boat—or as Jacob,
wrestling with the Angel, exclaiming, “I !
will not let thee except thou bless me !”
Such take the kingdom by force of earnest 1
THE CHRISTIAN lIfDEX.
conviction of the truth—of the absolute
necessity of obedience to Christ, in order
to enjoy His favor—and by a holy deter
mination to enter into this kingdom as one
of those for whom the great atoning sacri
fice was made. An intelligent convert —
one whom the Sou has made free —feels
that, however, unworthy in himself, he
has a “ right to the tree cf life,” and to
the privileges and immunities of a citizen
of Zion. lie will knock at the door of the
church with deep humility, as he ex
claims :
“ Now to you my spirit turns,
Turns a fugitive uublest.
Brethren, where your altar burns,
0 ! receive me to pour rest.”
aud yet, though pride or prejudice may
debar him from the church in one place,
and deny him the ordinances of Christ,
he will continue to press his suit in a more
favorable place, until he finds a home
among the friends of his precious Redeem
er.
“ The kingdom of heaven suffers ,” or
permits —nay encourages , this “violence.”
See the parable of the uajust judge, in
unision with the whole tenor of the Divine
teachings.
A Curiosity.
The Selma (Ala.) Sentinel of the Ist
instant says : We had in our office the
other day a piece of silver coin, which is
one thousand seven hundred and fifty
years old. It was a coin, used by the Is
raelites before the destruction of Jerusa
lem, and is a great curiosity. On one
side of the piece is the figure of the Tree
of Life, in Hebrew words “Jerusalem the
Holy.” On the other side is an urn, in
scribed in Hebrew characters the words
“Shake off Israel.” The coin must have
been made before the fall of Jerusalem,
which, if recollection of Divine History
serves us well, was about seventy years
after the birth of Christ. It is of a poor
character of silver, about the size of a half
a dollar, land'is worth in pure silver about
fifteen cents. Mr. Eliesberg, of this city,
who is the owner of it, informs us that it
has been the property of his family near
nine hundred years.
Interesting Cas& of Transfusion.
This operation, says an English paper
has been successfully performed by Mr
Wlieatcroft, surgeon, of Cannock, on the
person of a woman named Wood, residing
there. Immediately after her accouche
ment, fearful hemorrhage set in, draining
the woman of blood. She felt herself dy
ing, and summoned her husband to her
bedside, bid him “good bye,” and earn
estly requested him to take care of the
children when she was no more. She (hen
became pulseless and gasping, occasional
breathing being the only indication of
life. A vein was opened in her arm, and
one in the arm of her husband, and as the
blood flowed from the latter, it was trangV
mitted by suitable apparatus into the
veins of the wife. After seventeen ounces
had thus been ejected, the pulse became
perceptible, the colorless lips, reddened,
the glassy eye brightened, and she thank
fully said, “ I am better. The case has
progressed very favorably, aud the wo
man is recovering. Death was here liter
ally robbed of his victim.
A good Example let others Follow.
The Superintendent of the South West
ern Rail Road has ordered his supply of
negro clothes to be made of the cotton
from the Houston County Factory,(Tooke’s
Mill.) Georgia Cotton, Georgia Wool
and Georgia Mills ! They are to be cut
by a Georgia tailor, and given out to be
made up by seamstresses in Macon ; tlms
distributing more than a thousand dollars
at home, instead of going to the Korth.
This is the true way to achieve South
ern independence, and particularly in
these bard times. Let all our Southern
people follow this wise and liberal policy.

A Keg of Specie Dug Up.
The Oswego (K. Y.) Times of the 28th
ult., tells the following story : Two men
named respectively, Ward and Hall, were
at work down the lake shore some miles
from this city gettingouthoop stuff, when
they discovered a small keg buried in Lhe
sand. This they dug out, and opening it,
found it contained sixteen hundred pieces
of silver ? The coins were of ah ancient
cast, and of the denomination of
franc pieces, valued at s.l 09 each. Tite*
two men, with their treasure, have left
for Philadelphia, where they intend to
exchange their coin at the mint. It is
probable that the money was secreted, in
the place where it was discovered by some
French officer during the old French war,
and afterwards the officer may have been
killed, leaving no trace where the treasure
was concealed,

BOWEN’S CENTRAL AFRICA.
ADVENTURES and Missionary Labors in several
countries in the interior of Africa, from 1849 to
1856. By Rev. T. J. Bowen. Price, §l.
Columns might be filled with commendatory
extracts of the work, from the religious and secular
press of the whole country. Space will not admit of
such an indulgence at pre'sent.
“ Mr. Bowen in youth was a bold and hardy soldier;
but in his manhood and his Christian devotion the
qualities of a Hero born in him have found a field which
no soldier ever has a chance to enter. To penetrate
alone into an entirely unknown and hostile region ; to
go straight through the gate of a city peopled by hun
dreds of thousands who looked on him with the same
wonder as they would on an angel or a fiend dropping
down from the clouds; to say before the Court and
King of a great nation, in whose presence he stood ar
raigned, as Bowen did, “The God of Heaven is mj
King; lam a soldier, and this book, (referring to the
Bible), is my sword,” and thus to conquer Ids way from
city to city, and through people after people; 1s an
jjwjhievement such as an Alexander never would have
dreamed of undertaking. It is comparatively cowardice
to be a conqueror shielded on all sides by an invincible
army.
Peculiar tntellectuai as well as moral traits always
belong to such a pioneer.”— National Intelligencer.
“ This book is of rare interest. It is thrilling as a
work of travels, and possesses double value in the esti
mation of the philanthropist who would see Ethiopia
stretch out her hands, and a whole continent regenera
ted.”—Louisville Journal.

buy the work, will do themselves a favor, and promote
the interest of a very important mission.

will be recollected by many, that some ten years since,
Mr. King was the successful and popular Principal of
Hearn School, for several consecutive years. For the
past two years he has hv and charge of the Female School
at this place. His re-election therefore to his present

REASONS WHY THIS MACHINE IS UNIVERSALLY
PREFERRED OVER ALL OTHERS.
1 BECAUSE it is the Rly Sewing Machine in” the
• world ever invented, so constructed as to fully
meet the demands offamilies, for general use.
2. It is very simple and is never liable to get out of
order.
3. It makes a seam which will not rip, though every
third stitch i9 cut. J
4. It is not a Shuttle Machine.
5. It sews with two needles, making any length stitch
desired.
6. It sews from two ordinary spools, and thus all
trouble of winding thread is avoided ; while the same
Machine can be adapted at pleasure, by a mere change
of spools, to all varieties of work.
7. The same Machine runs silk or linen thread, and
common spool cotton, with equal facility.
8. This Machine will sew in the slieves of a coat with
the same ease aud facility that it sews a straight seam.
9. This Machine can be run to make one thousand
five hundred stitches per minute.
10. The seams are elastic as the most elastic fa
bric, so that it is free from all liability to break in wash
ing, ironing or otherwise.
11. The stitches made by this machine are more
beautiful than any other made either by hand or ma
chine. For sale by
