“Time Nil it 11 t*e no More.**
The pain, the groan, the wnsting, far-fetched
sigh,
The pearly drop that wets the infant's eye—
His fear innate to tread on being’s shore,
Surely premonisb—‘time shall be no more.’
The little mound in yon enclosure seen—
The stone that tells a mortal once has been—
The weeping willow gently bending o’er,
Say, ‘passing stranger, time shall be no more.’
The pangtlint rends a mother’s bleeding heart,
Whene’er is uttered “mother, we must part”—
The nameless woes, unknown unfelt before.
Beget the thought that‘time shall be no moro ’
The voice that i«suos from a parent’s tomb,
And children weeping o’er an orphan's doom,
The present dread that future storms will
lower,
Unerring tell that ’time shall be no more.'
Ye mortals, burden'd with the weight of
years,
Ye palsied limbs, ye second childhood’s fears,
Ye eyes bedimm’d, ye heads ns winter Imar,
Say, is’t not true, that ‘time shall be no more?’
Tho light that’glows to-day in beauty's eyo
To-morrow's sun shall sou in ruin lie;
111-fated thing, which thousands still adore,
Will it be thus when ‘time shall lie no more ?’
IJsaw a rcse ; on sunny banks it grew,
Where purl'd a stream, and gentle zephyrs
blew;
’Tis wither’d now—its beauty all is o’er—
Ahl will it bloom, when ‘time shall be no
more ?’
Ye sparkling orbs, etherial worlds of light,
Thou ‘king of day’ and modest ‘queen of
night,’
Thus saith your Maker—boundless in His
power
“To things created, time shall be more.”
Roll on thou day, seen with prophetic view,
When heaven and earth shall he created ‘new,’
The final tempest come with fearful roar,
And tell in thunders, ‘time shall be no more.’
The night is gone —eorth to its center shakes ;
The streams flow bnckwaid ; Barhan prostrate
breaks;
Coniu'sions dire seize on the solid world,
Death yields its prey—its bonis in sunder
burl’d—
‘A mighty angel' flies through cloudless air
ilis bands uprais'd, tiicthioks 1 hear him
swear,
‘Bv Him who lives when time’s short space is
o'er,
Andercr lives—then, time shall be no more.”
Life is Not a lies' rt Wide.
BV CHARLES WM. LUN.ER.
Life is not a desert wide,
But an Eden blooming fair :
YVe may walk where rivers glide,
Breathe anew the balmy air ;
We may see the sunbeam smile,
Lighting all the eastern sky ;
From some distant goldiD isle,
Hear the music floating by.
To the sunny paths of youth
Age bids memory backward go,
When its paths were paths of truth,
And the heart dreamed not of woe,
Then the sports of boyhood seemed
Prophets of life’s full orbed prime ;
Then a heaven of beauty gleamed
Through the mists of morning time.
Why should life’s inspiring dawn
Fade so quickly from our view?
Why should hopes In gladness born,
Vanish with the morning dew ?
Why should we with trembling feet
Walk thro’ earth with shuddering fear?
YVhy should hoary age repeat,
Bring my youth's lost Eden here?
1 have seen the man whose years
Held their own with wondrous skill,-
Strange to him all doubts and fears, —
Strange to him the powerless will ;
On his brow no furrow showed
Years of life, by him passed o’er ;
From his blithesome lips outflowed—
“ I am young : I’m but threescore.”
In the blush of youth, he kept
Morning sunshine on his way ;
When he rose and when he slept,
Life was but one smiling way.
Age increased ; its stealthy pace
Voloed this lesson from his tongue —
Age can wear a hopeful face ;
Eden blooms where hearts are young.
Many years ago there lived in an Andalusian
town a German toy maker, who had a charm
ing daughter. The young maiden was famous
for beauty and virtue, both of which attracted
and eventually won the love of the young son
of the Count Montijo. She met his advances
with the ery—“ Marriage before love.” His
affection for her was an honest one, and in
spite of his father's obstinate refusal, he mar
ried her. The old Count refused the young
pair any aseistaaca, s* shat their sufferings
promised to be very great. But the two elder
brothers of the young husband dying, the old
Count had but the prodigal child, whom he
took back to his heart and purse; This Count
ess of Montijo was the mother of Eugenie of
Franoe.
A prodigal returned to the homexif his brother
and siswr in Pontiac, Michigan, the other day,
and was received with open arms, ate the fat
ted calf and all that sort of thing, and in two
days thereafter built a nice fire with kerosene
oil under the bed chamber in order to burn
them to death. and.secure the property.
A Marvelous Story,
I was bred up in a dislike of the marvelous,
or the stupid wonderful, as my uncle callud it.
I must relate an anecdote in point. Some gen
tlemen were dining together, and relating their
traveling adventures; one of them dealt so
much in the marvelous, that it induced an
other to give him a lesson.
‘T wa< o ice," said he, “engaged in n skir
mishing party in America; I advanced ton
far, was separated from my friends, and saw
three Indians in pursuit of me; the horrors
of the tomahawk in the hands of angry sav
ages, t. ok possession of my mind; I consid
ered for n moment what whs to be done; most
of us love life, and mine was both useful
and precious to my family ; I was swift of foot,
and fear addsd to my speed. After looking
buck—for tho country was an open one—l at
length perceived that one of my enemies lmd
outrun the others, and the well-known saving
of “Divide and conquer,” occurring to me,
I slackened iny speed and allowed him to
come up; wo engaged with mutual fury—‘l
hope none here’ (bowing to his auditors,) ‘will
doubt the result—in a few minutes he lay a
corpse at my feet. In tins short space of
time, .he two Indians had advanced upon me,
so I took agniu to my heels—not from cowar
dice I can in truth declare—but with the hope
of reaching a neighboring wood, where I knew
dwelt a tribe friendly to the English ; this
hope, however, I was forced to give up; for,
on looking back, I saw one of my pursuers far
before the other. I waited for him, recover
ing my almost exhausted hreath, nnd soon this
Indian shared the fate of tlie first. I had only
one enemy to deni with ; hut I felt fatigued,
and being near the wood, I wns more desirous
to sate my own life than to destioy another
of my fe’lo.v creatures. I plainly perceived
smoke curling up amongst the trees; I re
doubled npv speed ; I prayed to heaven ; I
felt assured my prayer would lie granted ; but
at this moment the yell of the Indian’s voice
sounded in my ears—l even thought I felt his
warm breath —there was no choice- I turned
round ”
Here the gentleman, who had related the
wonderful stories at first, grew impatient be
yond endurance ; he called out:
“Well, -ir, and you killed him aDo?”
“No, sir—he killed me.”
From the Columbus (0.) Statesman.
Rotary Motion of the Earth.
The question of the rotary motion of tho
earth has for ages past given rise to learned
discussions between scientific inen, nnd num
berless experiments have been made to dem
onstrate the theory, Fojienultz, a learned
Frenchman, some years ago, announced a sim
ple contrivance which lie claimed set at rest all
disputations on the question, and demonstrated
the theory beyond cavil. Mr. T. C. Menden
hall. cf tho Columbus High school, completed
arrangements for a test of Foucaultz s contri
vance on a recent Saturday, and proceeded to
put it in operation. A wire was attached to a
light cross beam from the inside centre of the
dome of the State Capitol, reaching nearly to
tho fl or of the rotunda below. To the lower
end of thi- who am tallioball of twenty ciglit
pounds weight was attached. The ornamental
piece of the rotunda pavement furnished a circle
through the centre of which from the true
North, a line was struck to the South. Nine
additional lines, representing nine degrees of
variation from tho true North, were marked on
the circle. The ball was set in vibration on
the North and Saith line, and in one hour had
departed fioiu that line in its vibration, nnd
was describing the line of the first degree to
tlie right. The proposiiion was that at the
end of the ninth hour from the start of the ball
it would so far depart from the true North and
South line as to describe the nin th line. While
the ball seemed to leave the track in which it
originally started, it really did not. The ap
parent vibration was due to the rotary motion
of the earth.
Ilnzel-Eyed Girls.
Major Noah said that “a hazel eye inspires
nt first a Platonic sentiment, which gradually
expands into love as securely founded as the
Rock of Gibraltar. A woman with a lin/.rl
eye never slopes fvoin her husband, never
chats scandal, never sacrifices her husband’s
comfort to her own, never finds fault, never
talks too much or too little, always is an enter
taining, intellectual, agreeable, and lovely
creature.” ‘We never knew,’ said a brother
editor, “but one uninteresting and unnmiable
woman with a hazel eye, and she had a nose
which looked, as the Yankee says, like the
little end of nothing, whittled down to a pint.”
The grey eyo is the sign of shrewdness and
talent; great thinkers and great captains have
it. In women, it indicates a hotter head than
heart. The dark hazel is noble in its signifi
cance, ns well as in its beauty. The blue eye
is amiable, but may be feoble;the black—

hundred thousand dollars in coin, while those

Parson Ilczekiah Crabtree, in some of his
camp meeting sermons, used the following elo
quent historical event:
“Wasn’t thar Moses, the strongest man in
the world, struck dead by a thunderbolt in
hands of Sampson, on the top of Mount Ararat,
for slaying an Egyptian at the foot of tho Pyr
amid of Jehovah, in Athens, on the banks of
the river J> rdan in tho land of Egypt?”
‘My boy,’ said a clergyman, ‘don t you know
that it is wicked to catch fish on Sunday?
‘Guess I liain ’t sinned much yet,’ said the
boy, without taking bis eye from the cork,
haiu’t had a bite.’
A Romantic Narrative.
The follow ing story is told by a Minnesota
paper:
Among the most prominent merchants in Rio
Janeiro, Brazil, some fifteen years ago, was a
young Englishman, who was possessed not
only of a fine form and handsome features, but
also of a snug fortune, the result of his own
industry and business ability. His business
required that he should make occasional visits
to England, and he had crossed the Atlantic
many times. During one of those visits he
met his fate in the shape of a beautiful orphan
girl, who accompanied him on his voyage back
to Rio Janeiro as his wife. For a number of
years they led a happy married life, and two
children were burn unto them. The husband
prospered in business and continued to make
occasional visits to England, leaving his family
at Rio Janeiro. It was after his return from
one of these visits that he heard for the first
time whispers against his wife. She indig
nantly denied the charges made against her,
and dared him to produce the proof of his as
sertions. This he could not do, bui ft coolness
aro-e between them which became insupporta
ble, and a separation was agreed upon. They
were divorced according to tho laws of Brazil,
tlie husband settling upon her a handsome ans
nuity, which should continue during her life,
or until she should marry again, when it
should ceAse, she retaining the custody of the
children.
Unable to remain at Rio Janeiro, the has*
band wound up his business, converted his
property into money, nnd became a wanderer
upon the earth, lie finally accompanied a
party to Fort Garry, Minnesota, where the iso
lation from the world suited him, and he con
cluded to remain. Again he embarked in
business, and became known to many of the
principal citizens And business men of St.
Paul, not one of whom ever suspected the hid
den sorrow which impelled him to bury himself
amid the savage surroundingsof the far North
west.
The wife in course of time loved again, and
notwithstanding she lost her handsome annu
ity, she married a gentleman of scholarly at
tainments, but with little means. With him
she lived happily for two years, when he died,
leaving her and her two children In destitute
circumstances. During all this time she heard
occasionally from her former husband through
his letters to his friends at Rio Janeiro, and
from them she learned that he still cherished
for her a love that would continue until death.
The death of her second husband left her al
most penniless. Convinced of the unalterable
love of her first husband, she resolved, for the
sake of her children, to seek out her divorced
husband, and with them throw herself at his
fost and implore him to take them back. In
pursuance of this determination she commenced
her leng and tedious journey from Brazil to
British America. She arrived at St. Paul a few
days ago, accompanied by her children. It
wa> during her short stay here that we obtained
the above particulars from her. She remained
only two days at St. Paul, for the purpose of
resting, and then proceeded on her journey to
Fort Garry.
The lady is still in the prime of life, and re
tains all the beauty which first won the heart
of her former husband. We suppress the
names of the parties out of regard to their
feelings, as, should we give the gentleman’s
name, many of our citizens would recognize it
as that of one of the leading traders of the Red
River settlement.
It is possible we may learn the result of this
meeting between the divorced husband and
wife.”
Brigham Young on Polygamy.
Brigham Young claims that Polygamy is not
peculiar to Mormonism. In a sermon recently
he said that Father Abraham had many wives,
nnd he quoted many others. lie said that God
had never forbidden polygamy. The Savior
never rebuked it, though surrounded by it.—
It was anew invention to ru'eout this practice
of the olden time. But, said he, we are not
polygamists exactly. He has children by nine
wives. * But we are sealed for eternity, as it
is revealed to us.’
lie then spoke of the dreary life that must
be passed through the untold and incompre
hensible period by those who have no congenial
spirits ‘sealed’ to them. These sealed com
panions, beautiful angels in eternity, will make
us happy in the presence of God. But Brig
ham didn't explain the effect upon the women.
While aman has twenty wives or angels to make
him happy, the poor women have only one
twentiath part of a man each to attract their
attention.
The navy is moving secretly with loads of
arms, large and small, and ammunition in car
goes. The Albany, laden quietly from the
Tallapoosa, has come and departed ; and not a
word of her movements has bc«n known to
the press. She took with her heavy guns,
medium and light guns, small arms and am
munition, even to the loading of her decks.
The officers, os elsewhere noted, were not per
mitted to land. And she’s off. Off, to settle
affairs in San Domingo, and add to the Radical
ranks the dirty blacks there. We will then
have another State, with a black star, and a
pair of naked black Senators with three yards
of red tape around their waists, in order to be
well-dressed.—N. Y. Democrat.
An order was sent to a Chicago bookseller
which, among other things, enumerated “ Six

Hearth und Home uml Mrs. Stowe.
The connection of Mrs. Stowo with the edi
torial department of tho Hearth and Home, of
New York, ceases the present week. This is
well for Hearth and Home. She is a lady of.
talent, nnd with nil the mischief she did with
her fanatical agitation and injustice to the
South before the war, sho might more than
have repaid the paper for any injury her rep
utation did it, by tho entertainment of her con-,
tributions ; but her latest mischief, for which
her previous career in outrage had well fitted
her, is more than any newspaper can afford to
sustain, and it is well that the enterprising
paper should separate from her. Mrs. Stowa
has no doubt a plenty to do. It is a great labof
that she has on hand—that of defaming the
dead and prosecuting those whose bodies are
turned todu3t upon the charge of incest. De
lightful occupation for one whoso tender sens,
sibilities could not endure the existence of
slavery thousands of miles from her. It turns
out that the amiable arid virtuous lady, the
enthusiastic philanthropist, lias a book on hands
and her publication in the Atlantic Monthly
was to whet tho appetite, as a drink of absinthe
before dinner, and secure a large sale. W*
have been inclined (charitably) to conclude
that many of the extreme “ philanthropists’
of the far North were mad; but there is ts
wonderful nmountof method in the madness at
a goodly part of them.—[Rich. Dispatch,

to do with her bloody taking off. Jim Lane;
of Kansas, who hounded on the prosecution,
blew his brains out; Preston King, who kept
the doors of tho Presidential ante-chamber,
so that Annie Surratt could not enter to beg
for her mother's life, loaded his pockets with'
rocks and sunk, a suicide, like lead in the
mighty waters ; General Hancock, who was
in the military commission which gave the
sentence, had that fact ris6 up in judgment
against him nt the National Democratic Con
vention of July, 1868, to forbid his receiving
a nomination on the Presidential ticket; and
now we hear that Andrew Johnson’s defeat
for the Tennessee Senatorship was brought
about by the determined opposition of the “old" 1
Confederate” members of the Legislature, who
could not forgive him his complicity with the
Surratt case. There is soino reason to suppose
that Mr. Johnson has bitterly repented this"
complicity, but, repentance or no repentance,
that terrible vengeance sleeps not, but travels,-
one by one, to its victims on wings that defy
alike oblivion and time.—Galveston News.

When roosters are observed before day-lite
in the morning soreing uniting the klouds, and
uttering lamentashuns, then look out for sura
sudden weather and a severe pucker in the'-
money markit.
When yu see 13 geese walking Injun file,
and toeing in, you can deliberately bet yura
last surviving dollar on a hard winter and &'
grate flurtuousness during the next season in ?
the price of cow-hide boots.
If pigs squeal in the night, aud grasshoppers
cum oph their roost and mingle in a free
fight, yu may hope for high winds in a few
weeks, and also the typus fever in yuro naber
hood.
When spiders are seen climbing up the wall*
backwards, and frogs cough nz tho rhey had
the hickups, look out for rain. This iz also a
sure sign that children will have the measles

If bees hang around their hives, and mules
are seen in a brown study, a storm uv some'
kind iz cooking, and you will notis the market
for herring is very cadaverous and shifty.
Jist before a heavy sno storm, ov three foot’

»« Great Truths’*' In Agriculture.
The farmer who stints his fields, is as unwise'
and improvident as he who starves his working
cattle—in both cases he is diminishing the'
ability of a faithful seryant to be useful to
him.
The farmer who obtains from a field not
properly fertilized ten bushels of grain, when
by manuring he might have obtained twenty
is selling his labor at half its value.
He who does not give back to his fields as'
much as he takes from tbem, sells their fertility
in his crops — and the fertility of the soil is the
farmer's capital.
The (armor who will keep these truths in'
view, and act in accordance with tho rules they
suggest, will fiod his compensation in the in*
creasing products of his farm, in the augment
ation of his wealth, and in the promotion of"
general prosperity.—[Maine 1 aruicr;
