Our love is as wide as thy woe, It deepens bedde every grave Where the heart of a hero lies low. Landofthe brightest of skies ! Our love glows the more ’mid thy gloom Our hearts, bv the saddest of tie*, Cling closest to thee in thy doom. Lend where the desolate weep ! In sorrow too deep to coDaole, Our teats are but streams making deep The eean of love in our soul. Land where the victor flag waves. Where onlv the dead are the free, Each link of the chain that enslaves, Shall bind qs the closer to Thee. Land where the sign of the cross Its shadow of sorrow hath shed, We measure onr love by thy loss. Thy loss— by the graves of our dead. ~~AUTUMN. Farewell, thou dying Year, farewell! Thy reign is almost o’er ; Flsd the freshness of vernal hours, In glory of thy summer bowers— Anti e’en thy last pale tingling Sowers Will soon be here no more ! 'Tie sad to see tho hues of death Fast stealing o’er the bloom, To hear the fitful Autumn gate Sweep through the lonely woo l and vale, Beneath its low prophetic wail. O’er tby app reaching doom ! Ie me in ovary passing breoie, There is a tODe of grief Recalling hopts of vanished years. N ,w only seen thro’ Memory’s tear’s— An emblem of whose fate appeals. In every failing leaf! Perhaps there are bright eyes that weep To see thee pass away Who in thy eours , departing year. Have ne’orbeen dimm’d by .sorrow’s tear, And blest with all of bright and dear Would gladly woe thy stay. Rut there are some whose hearts are glad : Thy darksome reign is o’er— Who would not live thine hours again, Fur riches of the earth and main: But joy those day of care and pain, To them oan ecme no more. For thou hast seen the dearest ties Os earthly feeling broken To be renewed, oh 1 never more, Unless on that eternal shore Where, grief and death forever o’er, No parting world are spoken. Then fare thee well. doDart-ing Year l I would not woo thy stay : Thy sighing winds breathe of tho tomb, Thy fading roses speak the doom Os tho heart’s cherished hopes, whoso bloom. Like thine has passed away t Married for Pun—A Romance in Social Life. “People should be careful liow they han dle edge tools,” Is an adage that may apply in more ways than one, of every day life, and Is as true in matrimony as in carpentry. The history of man and womankind is full of marryiags in haste to repent at leisure— of t.ll assorted consorts and troubles, trials and tribulations without number, have re sulted from the careless choice of materials for the matrimonial craft. But seldom do we bear of a case like that which we give to our eager readers this morning’ A lew evenings since a gay young me chanic of this city, of plcasiug address and with love of fun, in a company of youths and maidens at a party in the neighbor hood, bantered a young damsel upon the mode and tense, otherwise the manuer and form of the marriage ceremony, and in the course of his joke, which t as not by any means intended at first to be practical, offer, ed to submit to. the ordeal, "just for fun,” if she would consent lo act the part of bride in the ceremony. She, full of spirit, and with he determine tion to show the laughing bevy of boys and girls about her that she was not one to retire and hide herself in a confusion of blushes at the mention of such a subject, declared her readiness for the op eration. It n-eded but a word or two of bantering and the expression of a decided belief on the part ol the company that both would recoil from the undertaking, to fire tne souls of the young couple, aud they proceeded to a well kno vn clergyman and made known their errand. The abont-to be-groota and the reverend gentleman stepped out for a moment’s conversation, in which the young lady says she supposed the faree was explained, ahd in a few mo ments— “Tha knot was tied, though the bridegroom was weak, Yet, nevertheless, he made clear for to speak and they were pronounced ,man and wile: But the end was pot yet—the affair at first talked.over as a good joke, began so excite serious apprehensions, and inquiries into the effect of the ceremony revealed the 'act that the parties were, as Arteraus \t ar-1 would say, -*A good deal too much mar tried ” A pretty kettle Os fish. The jdaughter of well kuowu aud highly rctpoc ! table parents, the wife of a man she U"vcr thought (if loving—the joke of a moment nod the thoughtless railery of a breath, turned into a most serious matter and of a life-long extent. Legal advice sought-from the highest ability but confirmed the cere mony and drew the closer. Despair, Cha grin adjt na sais q not seized upon the young lady’s family and friends, Tho youth was appealed to “Lil:o a wretch o’ortnken in his track With stolen ohatteison his baok; Wil’ hang his head in fear and shame * And to the awful froSene# came,’* He said tint ho didn’t mean to do aly harm, and pleaded *tho schoolboy’s defence —“the darned thing had whistled; itself!” A last resort was to the law fur a divorce, laud papers in due form were drawn up praying the court to sever the unpleasant bonds. -This, signed by •‘the high contract ing parties,”’is now In tha bauds of the i Judge, and the interested onos are waiting anxiously to know what his decision may be. It is by no means certain that ade creo of divorce can be granted “just for fun.”—DetroiL Froß Press. . Affecting Sketch. In a cemetery uear Seville is a very beau tiful, though simple macho cross,' oh which are engraved these three lines, in Spanish; Jm l bc.ieve in God* I hope for God; I love God.’’ It is the grave of a poor boy, tho only won of a widow. He was not exactly au idiot, but what people call a ‘ natural.”— Good, simple; hntnble, every oue loved him.* but no one could teach him anything. His intelligeftce was*in some way at fault. He could remember nothing. In vain the poor mother put him first at school and then to a trade, be could not learn. At last, in despair, she took him to a neigh boring monastery and implored tho Abbot, who was a most charitable, holy man, to take him and keep him as a lay Brother.— Torched by grief, the Abbot consented, and the boy entered the convent. There all possible pains were taken with him by the good monks to give him at least some idea of religion: but he could remember noth ing b.u these three sentences. Still, he was so patient, so laborious, and so good, that the community decided to keep him. When he bad finished his hard out-of-ioor work, instead of coming in to rest, ue would go straight to the Church and there remain on his knees for hour.-’. ‘Tbit what does he do?” exclaimed or; of the novices. u IIe knows not how Lo , ray. He neither under stands the office, nor the sac; aments, nor the ceremonies of the Church.” They therefore hid themselyes in a side chapel, close to where he always knelt, and watch ed him when he came in. Devoutly kuoel ing with bis hands clasped, his eyes fasten ed on ttfb tabernacle, he did nothing but res peat over and over again, “I believe in God: I hope for God; I love God.” Oue day he was missing: they went to his cell and .found him dead on the straw, with his hands joined, and an expression of the same ineffable peace and joy they ’had marked on his face when in Church. They buried him in this cemetery, and the Abbot caused these words to be graven on his cross. Soon a lily was seen flowering by the grave, w here n6 one had sovyn it: the grave was opened, and the root was found in the heart of the orphan boy. Backed ont wlieu She found He was a Meyer. Wo heatrt yesterday of a easo of mis pieced confidence, which we give as related to us. A German girl ot very respecta ble parents met a \ uung man some six weeks or two months ago. and Battered by his earnest attentions, leil in love with him arid consented to be his’u for better or tor worse. The man for some reason, insisted on taking his sweetheart to his father’s’res sideno- in Southern Illinois, and be-mar ried t ere- The g irl'i-eluc'antly consented. On reaching the hou- of her lover’s fond parents, she was introduced to a negro man and negro woman, and .given to nn’dersfand that th ey were the proprietors of the house. - This announcement rather staggered her, for she iiad expected to see her prospective father and mother-in-law in that capacity. She told her affianced thane did not like te stay there, but would be very well pleas ed to go with hitn to his father’s borne. 7- Wbat was her astonishment and indigna-' tion when she was informed that the nig gers were the parents of her beloved! She bad nothing to do but run for it, and she did nr,til she succeeded in reaching the bouse -of a white neighbor, under whose protection she immediately placed herself. Word was sent to her friends in this city, and she returned much w iser if not happier than when sbe left.

A young lady stepped into one of tho s'reet cars the other day, aud dropped her handkerchief upon a vacant seat, as much as to sf*iy “taken,” while sho advanced tq the other end oh the car to deposit her fare.

A Singular Discovery—Tho Loft of a Chnroh a Hiding Place for Robbers— slo.obu Haul of dtolcu Propo; ty. In the village of Little Neck is a neat little religious edifice, an Episcopal Church, and in the garret ol it nestled a gang of burglars and thieves, about five In number, and who, it is conceded, have been the ones that committed the many depredations in their community of late. In this garret the proceeds of many a night's labor has been concealed. Here the gang actually lived, did their cooking and tho like, with out the slightest interruption from anybo dy. In this attic were found articles of al.. most every denomination—solid silver ware, plated tea sets, coffee urns, tea pots, silver pitchers, carpets, guns, pistols, swords, pots, hardware, and even groceries. It will be remembered that a short time since the public schools were broken into though out the whole country, and hooks, inkstands, etc., were carried off; these same things have here been found; the' Charctes wore robbed of their carpets and cushions, and these, 100, have been found* together with the oarpots aud aushions sto len from the Church in which-they chosu to make their headquarters.

The Hartfort Post relates u curious incident uear that city.— Mrs Eliza Barnsly, a young war widow, had been courted and vvou by young lawyer from Providence, who spent his vacation in the neigh borhood. The day for the murri age was fixed and all the arrange ments made, but at the appointed hour the bride-groom ca ue not.— He had gone from the town iu an early train. The bride was discon solate,the fr.endsoutraged. Worse than all, the dinner was getting spoiled by waiting. Neeiug this state of affairs one of tho iuvited guests, a middle aged farmer, who had been a secret admirer of Mrs. Bafusley, aud whom she had en couraged before the lawyer’s ad vent, stepped up, offered to take the groom’s place, and was accept ed. They were married, ale their dinner, and promise to make a happy couple.
