The law has spoken, The law lias broken, And men havehearkened its stern decree; | The great world wondered ; Two lives are sundered, Two streams have flowed to the sulleq sea. The past is in ashes And memory dashes The hopes that were born with the birth of the years. Life’s dream is relinquished. Love’s lamp is extinguished. The future is ladened with cursiq and tears. Death’s parting—to sever Forever, forever. 'J’o breathe in a world without fragrance or hionm ! Death’s parting—to wander Alone, end to ponder O’er dreams that lie buried in angiTsli and gloom. What demon has entered Where angels have centered Where life wag as sweet as the glance of a child ; Wlmt flame has o’erpotvered The love so embowered, The beauty, the hope, and the faith un defiled? Ah ! bright was the summer. When ev’ry new comer Poured gladness in bosoms of bridegroom and bride ; Ah ! pure was each meeting, Each smile and each greeting Each tear that seemed sweeter than hon or qr pride.

[Arcadian. lIKV. JESSEHEItfKB. A Yoic<‘ Iroui lt|<‘ Tomb. The editor of tbo Washington Ga zetle has recently been presented by a lady friend with an unpublished poem of Mr. Mercer, which is published in the Gazette, with the following sketch, which will, no doubt, be read with in terest by ipany of the older of our rt-ad ! ers who have themselves seen and 'heard that remarkable man, or have ' heard their fathers and mothers tell ol him: Half a century ago the Rev. Jesse Mercer lived and preached and ruled the people, in their religious uflairs, all through this region of country. He lived in a house in this place, on the lot of the late Judge N Wylie, now the property of Ip* daughter, Mrs. M. An drews. The house in which Mr. Mer cer lived was divided into two parts (it was buiit in the shape called an L) moved back into out buildings which are still standing, and the present large land handsome residence built on the spot where it stood, by Judge Wylie, who purchased the property after the death, we think, of Mr. Mercer. There are a considerable cumber ol persons now living in this and the ad jacent counties who remember this great Baptist preacher, we having list ened to him in our childhood, when he preached in the Baptist Church in this place. In h's day he was a great man and w is considered the greatest preach er of b.s age in this country. His in ■flucnce was greater, perhaps, than that of any minister who ever lived in this portion of the country. He wa widely known, and was looked up to by his follower:?and those of his faith, then the almost universal belief of the peo pie of this section as almost infallible. He was the founder of Mercer 1 Diver sity, which was established at PenSeld, under his auspices, as a manual labor school. Ho was. po doubt, a great preacher and a great man. or he could not have made the reputation nor have wielded the influence he did amongst the early settlers and pioneers in this portion of the Stato. He was evidently the uian for the times in which and the peoplo amongst whom ho lived. He must have been r. man of intellect, and certainly was one of indomitable will a i'l ei ergy. Ho must have been a man who was obliged to rule. ITe could brook no opposition, and his fiord was the law with hi flock. He no t only expounded the Gospel, and held firmly to the faith of his and nomination, even in their most extreme views, and held his people strictly up to his tenets, but he was often appealed to by member* of his persuasion to Settle disputes, to decide between utan and man, and was even eailed upon to settle domestic diffi culties and to quiet house-hold distur bances. His word was law, and he, no doubt, did much wood amongst th* sturdy settlers who came down from irginia into this country, by prevent* inw law suits amongst them and by bringing peace to many an unhappy household. But the old man seemed 'to fancy that he had quite a turn in the poetical way. Like manv great men.he seemed to have a mistaken idea ns l<l wherein was his greatest talent. As a preacher he must have been a man of m ii t; as a man of bold, independent thought and of great character there esn he no doubt, but a3 a poet he was evi* dcntly a failure, He never essayed to try his pen in the sentimental style of poesy, hut confined his songs to those of a religious nature. He col* iected together a number of hymns, some of them, and all of any merit, the standard old hymns which have been sung from time immemorial. But there were a largo number of original hymns written by the good old brothers and sifters. and particularly the sisters of his flock, or rather flocks, for he preach ed to many congregations. These ef* fusions wero written at his solicitation. He also wrote a number himself, and put them all together in a hymn book, which he failed “Mercer’s Cluster.”— These hymns were sung in all the 51"? y house amongst the Baptists thro’ all this country. There are those who do say that the old gentleman made a handsome sunt by this publication. I® certainly had a very extensive sale.— Wo have seen the book, and it has pui zled our mind to think how it was pos sible for a musician to put the words in to any kind of metre. The original hymns are wonderful specimens, and are striking evidehcos of the positive absence of poetic grnius amongst tho immediate ancestry of those of us who are natives of this and adjacent coun ties.

A sixpense saved daily will provide a fund "f57,000 —sufficient to purchase a good farm. There are few employes who cannot save daily, by ab staining from the use of cigars, tobacco, liquor, etc., twice or ten times the amount of the six cent piece. Every person should provide for old age, and the man in business who can lay by a dollar a day will eventually find him self possessed of over 3100.000. NO. 45
