TO THE MEMORY OF HENRY TIMROO. BY PAUL H. HAYNE. I. The same majestic Fine is lifted high Against the twilight sky. The same low, melancholy music grieves Amid the topmost leaves, As when I watched, and mused, and dreampt witli him, Beneath these shadows dim. ii. O Tree! lias thou no memory at thy core Os one who comes no more V No yearning memory of those scenes that were So richly calm and fair, Wlieu the last rays of sunset, shimmering down, Flashed like a royal crown ? hi. And lie, with hand outstretched and eyes ablaze Looked forth w ith burning gaze, And seemed to drink the sunset like strong wiue, Or, hushed in trance divine, Hailed the first shy and tremulous glance from far Os Evening’s virgin star ? IV. O Tree! against thy mighty trunk he laid His weary head; thy shade Stole o’er him like the first cool spell of sleep : It brought a peace so deep The unquiet passion died from out his eyes, As lightning from stilled skies. v. And in that calm he loved to rest, and hear The soft wind-angels clear And sweet, among the uppermost branches sigh ing: Voices he heard replying (Or so he dreamed) far up the mystic height, And pinions rustling light. VI. O Tree ! have not his poet-touch, his dreams So full of heavenly gleams, Wrought through the‘folded dullness of thy bark, And all thy nature dark Stirred to slow throbbings, and the fluttering lire Os faint, unknown desire ? VII. At least to me there sweeps no rugged ring That girds the forest-king, No immortal stain, or awful rent (The mark of Tempests spent), No delicate leaf, no lithe bough, vine-o’ergrown, No distant, flickering cone, VIII. But speaks of him, and seems to bring once more The joy, the love of yore ; But most when breathed from out the sunset land The sunset airs are bland, That blow between the twilight and the night, Ere yet the stars are bright IX. For then that quiet eve comes back to me, When, deeply, thrillingly, He spake of lofty hopes which vanquish Death; And on his mortal breath A language of immortal meanings hung, That fired his heart and tongue. x. For then unearthly breezes stir and sigh, Murmuring, “Look up! ’tis I Thy friend is near thee! Ah, thou canst not see ! And through the sacred Tree Passes what seems a wild and sentient thrill — Passes, and all is still ? XI. Slill as the grave which holds his tranquil form, Hushed after many a storm— Still as the calm that crowns his marble brow, No pain can wrinkle now— Still as the peace—pathetic peace of God— That wraps the holy sod, Where every flower from our dead minstrel’s dust Should bloom, a type of trust— Tliat faith which waxed to wings of heavenward might r l o bear his soul from night— That faith, dear Christ! whereby we pray to meet His spirit at God’s feet!

The Doings of a Ritualistic Rector in Mem phis—Strange Innovations in the Episco pal Service—A High Church Sermon- Action of Bishop Quintard—A Tart Re - Pty- jt . The Tennessee papers contain full ac counts of the Ritualistic ceremonies in Memphis, which are just now creating an extraordinary agitation among the mem bers of the Episcopal Church in that State. It seems that the Ritualists have convert ed the Memphis Opera House to the pur poses of religious worship. The Memphis Appeal, after giving a brief resume of the origin and growth of the Ritualistic move ment in England and New York, says: Memphis, which in many things is a pocket "edition to New York, and which affords many of the excitements and at tractions of the great commercial capital, is the first city where Episcopalians have been, in any numbers to speak of, seized With this new mania of rituralism. For years there has been a lurking desire for it on the part of some of the ministers, but did not culminate in any determined con formity to it until after the return of the delegation of the clergy who visited the great council of the Anglican Catholic Church. Among these clergymen was the Rev. J. W. Rogers, who there had his scholarly views of the question more than verified by the practices of the min istry in the Londou churches mentioned above- This determined him upon the course he was with so much eclat initiated. He witnessed before his departure a feeble effort to establish a collegiate church, and deaneries, hitherto unknown to the Amer can branch of the English Church, and other indications creeping out by a leau towards what is termed ‘‘High church ism.” He determined, therefore, upon what he yesterday accomplished success fully, and proposes to continue. Seldom have we seen a more elegant and refined CONGREGATION than had already assembled when we en tered, at scarcely eleven o’clock. The orchestral chairs and the parquette were all occupied, as were the chairs uuder the galleries. Some, and not a few either, to obtain a better view of the audience and the ceremonies, had gone up to the first and even the second tiers. Altogether there were perhaps eighteen hundred or two thousand people in the house. As usual in all church or religious assembla ges, the ladies predominated. In the choir were only two singers and an or ganist—the instrument used being a parlor organ of extraordinary sweetness and power of tone. The scenic and drop cur tains were rolled up, and the stage served as a chance], in which, against a dark and sombre woodland scene in which the artist had depicted a single rift showing the blue sky, stood THE ALTAR, which, with the super-altar, was draped in dark green with a white cross in the centre, the whole profusely ornamented with rare and beautiful fiowers. The super-altar was surmounted by a plain CROSS, apparently about six feet high, on either side of which was a trinity of CANDLES, which, at the beginning of the service, were devoutly and reverently approached and lit by two ACOLYTES, dressed in a purple soutan, over which was a thin lace surplice. After lighting the caudles they retired, and THE PRIEST, dressed in stole and surplice, in solemn procession, proceeded by the Acolytes bearing censers of burning INCENSE, entered, and, amid the rolling aromatic vapor, reverently kneeled atthe altar, and devoutly saluted it. The usual morning services were intermitted, and the exer cises of the day commenced with a Litany, which was not intoned, in consequence, we suppose, of the choir uot being yet pre pared. After the Litany the priest ad vanced to the LECTURN, in front of the chancel, which, in like manner with the altar, was draped in dark green, marked in the centre with a white cross, aud delivered a sermou. In conse quence of the difficulties attending re porting such a ceremony in so nqvel a place, we were unable to catch the text, but the following is the drift of tbe SERMON, which partook rather more of the lecture, perhaps, than of a regular sermon. It was, as he iuformed the congregation, one of a series which he intended to deliver, in which there would be a unity of design throughout. He apologized for referring to himself, as it is always an ungrateful and disagreeable task, and he then pro ceeded to reveal his labors in our midst for the past twenty-five years, placing his records before them. “These are my works,” he said, “and show that I have a right to come before you as I do. Your late beloved Bishop, good man—all hon or and reverence to his memory ! —advised me to keep the peculiar rite of our Church somewhat in the background ; not to ap pear before the people in my surplices, and with the symbols of the church. But he was wrong—it was an error of judg ment with him. I always put on my sur plice when I preached before the people. The clergy, too, had advised me thus, but l thought honesty the best policy, as well as the direct command of (lod. ‘You are rather forward in this,’ I am told by some. I am forward, though £ have no desire to be considered a leader. I have always been forward—forward with mauy of you for i recognize your faces, and have heard you receive the command ‘forward!’ aud I have received iu my arms the dy ing, after that command—at Belmont and Shiloh, and at the battles around Mobile.” “I have,” be continued, “celebrated these ‘forward’ ceremonies under far different circumstances from these—wheA the flow ers oti the altar were dappled with blood, Whett the bursting shell and hissing shot, and the thunders of old ocean, instead of organ tones, furnished the tremendous diapason.” Becondly, the Bishop says: “As for 'in cense,’ candles on the altar, and gorgeous vestments, adorned with precious stones and silver and gold, they are not author ized by the canons or rubrics of the church, and we have no such custom.”— The Bishop will also Inform any one who asks him, that he does and allows others to do “many thiugs in our churches” which are not authorized by the canons, or rubric, or custom in every place and he does this on the ground that they are not forbidden. For this reason we have organ's, surplices, elevate the consecrated breud and wine, bow at the name of our Lord, iutone the servioe, &c. Where is the canon or rubric for these things? I cau well remember when the surplice be gan to he introduced in some dioceses; atitf flower* ott his cathedral altar are new customs here. But prudent churchmen consider it safe and Innooent to introduce any ritualism not forbidden, if it has ever been customary in our ohurch iu tbe I purest ages. £ have proposed no other. Oh wnat ground compatible with the Bishop’s card now published can he justi fy his speech in “Tbe Churoh of St. Mary Magdalene,” London (where candles, etc., are used in service) for which they voted him a procession cross? I thought I had acted so exactly in accordance with this speech that I sent him my card and beg ged him to give me this ritualistic proces sional cross. But it seems that I did not MACON. GA.. TUESDAY. OCTOBER 13. 1868. uuderstand him, neither did the priests of St. Mary Magdalene. It is proper to add, siuoe the elements begin to thicken against my new enter prise, that only a majority of the clergy gave their consent to my preaching here, where I have served for twenty-five years. Rev. Mr. White declined to do so on the ground that the “sustenance was not suf ficient for the clergy here at present,” to which our admiral Dean replied, in his usual style, that the people could support ns if they would. I know the patronage is thin, for our people as well as ourselves, but I have ever been willing to eat the crust of pover ty with them, and to share their sorrows and fortunes. 8o that whether rioh or poor, I intend to preach the gospel, and whether the Bishop likes Ritualism in England better than he does here or not, I shall keep the canons and rubrics of our Church, and, by the help of God, do my duty! Respectfully, J. W. Rogers. LETTER FROM BALTIMORE. Baltimore, Oct. 7th, 1868. Since I wrote you last I see that Dr. Bledsoe, of the Southern Review, has mode torrible havoc with the “History of the War between the States,” by Alexander 11. Stephens. The old philosopher treats the book of the late Vice President of the Confederate States as a big humbug. I think he shows, however, before he closes his article, that he is handling a whale aud fighting a monster. To devote the leading article of a great Monthly to a notice of an insignificant compilation of the Declaration of Independence and a copy of the Constitution of the United States and other obso lete State Documents, is a very strange and unac countable taste in such an unscrupulous critic as the author of the Review. It would seem that there is something more in this book than in ordinary volumes. It seems an unpardonable sin that such a man as Mr. Stephens should write a book for the purpose of making money. The success of Its sale seems to be a very sore grievance, much more so than it would liavo been if the Reviewer's own books had met with a much more extended circu lation. A class of just such politicians as Dr. Bledsoe was the cause of the war, which but few of them helped to fight, and it is but reasonable to suppose that the views of such a man as Alexander H. Stephens, who was opposed to the war from the beginning, and throughout to the manner of conducting it, predicting all the time the very condition of things that lias transpired and now exist would be the result, could say or write a sen tence that would ever meet their approbation. Stephens’ book was written for future generations and other countries besides America. The most distinguished writer of this age in Europe, inquir ing about the “History of the War,” desired to know if it contained State Documents. The ques tion being answered affirmatively, he pronounced it the very book that the whole world demanded. A volume had been written at the North, and scattered over the Eastern Hemisphere, and anoth er at the South, which had found its way to London at least—both partisan and unsatisfactory. What the intelligent reader wanted was a detailed account of the whole difficulty from the record. Mr. Ste phens is traduced by his own countrymen fordoing the very thing the world needed and the times required, to perpetuate the truth of history. I ex pect the book will still be sold, and if it vindicates the political life of its author, it will do then a most sacred duty, and which every public or sensi ble man will appreciate. Mr. Stephens spent a week recently in Baltimore, and we insisted upon his making a speech before the Democratic Associ ation, but he persistently refused to gratify his many women friends, who ardently admire his course through life, and award him to-day the posi tion of the greatest statesman in America. The course he is now acting shows his good sense, and no reflecting man can listen to the explanation of lxis sentence for five minutes, without being satis fied that he is right. We feel, on the border, that it would have been better for the cause if all the prominent men of the South had been silent. They have said too much, and injured the prospects of of the Democratic party in their zeal to regain their status in the Government. The Black Republicans pervert every word that a leading Southern man utters; even the letter of Gen. Lee and his patriot ic associates, to Gen. Rosecrans, while sojourning at the White Sulphur Springs, during the summer, has been presented to the Northern people in such a light that it is a useful firebrand to stir up the old passions of hatred and strife which underlie all the sentiment of that section. The power which Gen. Lee himself exerts over the whole country and keeps him at the elevation lie now enjoys, and will enshrine his name in the memory of all true men of the nation, Is retained by his unobtrusive course in regard to the miserable questions of political policy which distract the country. The old leaders should have been more considerate and have kept quiet until a convenient season. We are looking the future full in the face, and the newspapers on both sides are sanguine o success, the Democrats are hopeful and count the final ballot as by destiny—but the ebbing and flow ing of the great wave of moving beings that circu late over the different States, point more clearly to the temperature of the political atmosphere, than any other interested class of observers. Every train brings us the traveler, who reports the con test doubtful in quarters along the line of battle that was unexpected, aud a rampart of the enemy that at one time was ready to surrender, is still standing with bristling bayonets and in the hartds of an unscrupulous foe. Trade, this season in Baltimore has been much better than was anticipated, and especially from the South. The vast number of young men who have emigrated to tills city bring an influence with them that exhibits itself very perceptibly upon the vari ous markets, and they divert a large number of heavy bills that have been heretofore made in New York. The young ‘rebs,’ stir up things herein such a way that old settled salesmen are elbowed clear out of the ring. They came here determined to succeed, and most of them are floating. Last summer was a trying time upon them. Many of them were strangers; business was dull and they struggled for bread. One young man from Charleston, with a good character and a com petent clerk, offered for weeks his services for a pittance. Falling to secure a situation he answer ed an advertisement for laborers on tho Railroad at one dollar and a half a day. Fulling off his coat, jho entered mannfully upon his engagement and faithfully handled his spade for three of tho hottest summer months. A few weeks ago the proprietor of u large Manufactory inquired for an honest, in dustrious clerk who was not afraid of work. He was informed that young O. P. was out on the railroad, and it was thought would suit him pre cisely. The gentleman who recommended tho young man found him at his house upon his return, having come into the city to spend the Sabbath. He was notified that there was a situation which it was proable he could secure Ho immediately re ported himself, and in a few minutes was told to be at the olflce on Monduy morning for business, and that he should tie allowed a good salary. The em ployer is highly pleased, and this noble young man has opened up an avenue to a most successful fu ture, with increasing wages and a most honorable employment and fortunate associations. This Is only one sample of many of the Southern boys who have come to Baltimore. They may be in a few years better known as wholesale dealers lu the great staples of the country. 6m. BASEBALLS!
