IMMORTALITY OF THE DIEAD,
It is a beautiful custom which calls
us to that solemn resort, a burial place,
with garlands in our hands and tearful
cyes, to place a bouquet or hang a
wreath over the graves of those we love.
Marble may comnemorate their virtues,
but the best tribute, though unavailing,
which we can offer to those who “siecp
the sleep that knows no waking,” is ene
of kindly remembrance.
Hamilet says, when addressing that
irail specimen of womankind, the
Queen : :
“Tis not my inky cloak alone, good mother,
<o Noreustomary saita of solemu Unek, ‘
That ean denote me traly ;—
But I have that within which passeth show.”
Who would not wish to be lamented
as Hamlet wourned the “rayal Dane,”
done to death by treachery T Alas, the
heart-yearning which bows a despairing
survivor over the marble form of the be
loved yields all too soon to time’s
wighty influence—time, the omnipotent,
whose trinmphant march is over buried
carpires aqd fallen heraes, no less than
over ithose endeared by ties of consan
cuinity aud affeztion, whe obscurely
sleep in humble tombs ; and any cus
tom which recalls them, and freshens
their fading traces on the tablets of the
heart, is becoming and religious in its
tendency. Hear the bard of *“Hope”
on this affecting subject :
“oOh, wilt thou come at evening's Lour to shed
The tewss of wemory o'er my narvow bed?”
Breath a deep sigh to winds that murmur low,
And think on all my loveand my wo ?”’
¢ime of the most beantiful and touch
ing traits of pagan sentiment, coming
down to us from remote antiguity, and
bodied forth in their wolatrons worship
1o less than in their refined poetry, ex
cplifies this universalfeeling. Pheeton
who, contrary to the wishes ot his im
mortal sive, undertook to guide the fery |
conrsers of the sun, yoked to ;‘\pullu".?
Haming ¢harvioty fell proue from the skies
anitien by Jove's thunderbalt, not be
fore his dnexperienced hand had yielded
(o the headlong fury of the day King's
bounding stecds. But his sisters, the
Heliades, beeanse they grieved, grew

came flowering branches, her little forin
ascaly trunk, DBut Apelio loved the
trec—a glovious laurel, whose leaves
ever alter adorned the brows of conguer
ors and became his own chaplet.
The mutberry, a tree common to on
forests, noless than to those of Hellas,
was, by the imaginative Greeks, sup
posed to have imbibed the purple tinge
of its ripened frait from the blsod of
Pyramus and Thizbe, who slew them
selves beneath its shade in despair,
Examples might be maliiplied to any
extent, showing this love of an earthly
immortality, in early times, were it ne
cessary. But that extingunishable Jong
ing to avoid oblivion, even after death,
was not peeuliar to the ancients. It is
not, perhaps, a reprehiensible sentiment,
since nature implants itinevery breast.
Some men desire to make their foot
priuts on the sands of time, even though,
in place of glary, shame be their legaey
to the world., The latter, -however, is
a perverted ambition, springing from
pm‘wrh-«l moral sense, and with it sur
vivors can have no sympaiby.
But beneath sweet sunsbine in our
wild clime, without ostentation, and with
a single wreath or a suggestive bouquet,
carried by feeble hands it may be, and
purchased by some hieroie act of scif-de
vial (the poor be it remembered are he
roic in their own lowly way) these fun
eral offerings impress us sadly and most
pathetically. “My son!” “my mother!”
“my father!” or “my brother!” What
a world of meaning lies in those Lbrief
labels! Peace, woarning hearts !—
There is a world which death cannot ¢n
ter. No cenotaph rises amidst the ce
lestial fields of DParadise. Earth, the
great supulcher of humanity, has sent
its entombed myriads to an endicss life
beyond its sphere.—New Orleans Times.

MARIETTA, GEORSIA, FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER .11, 1818,
TIES JORDAI. 4
There is no evidonce of any serious
change within listore periods, in the
general features 6fthe country. Dounbt
less earthquakes suilicient to destroy
cities (and they need not be very severe
to do that) have occurred here; but
that any throwing up in moontain
chains, or sudden sivking of levels has
accurred here since the days of Adam,
woild net probably veenr to any sciva
tific observer. There is, and must al
ways have been a tremendous and
wholly exceptional depression in this
valley. The Jordan, vising a hundred
miles vorth, between the ranges of Leb
anon and Ante-Lebanon, empties first
to Lake Merom, and then, by a rapid
descent of theee hundred feet in a few
miles, into the Sea of Galilee; between
that sea and the Dead Sca it descends
onc thousand feet by a succession of
rapids, and (wists and turas, created by
the Lurrowing of its viclent ecurrent—
doubling its length. It has worked it
self so deep intoits surface that its waters
fructify only the lowest bed of the river,
leaving its double banks, the lowest bed
being converted into a jungle of bushes
and thickets and the original bed, per
haps, a barren, sandy wasfe, . A more
repulsive or a moro useless river,
exrept for the mere supply of the thirs
ty man and beast, canuot be found in
the world. There are now no villages
there, and never were any along its
banks. ~ Irrigation frem it was never
possible, and it is accordingly the very
reverse of the Nilv inits relations to the
country its ows through.
It is now very full, and almost unap
proachable; quite unfordable. A dis
asrecablo swamip lies ronnd its bed, so
that we found it impossible to get the
benefit of any shade from the trees close
to itsmain bed. We inanaged, how
ever, to get on the bauk Ly the Greek
ford, and to sec¢ the place which, just be
fore Easter is thronged with thousands
of pilgrims whe wash iu the sacredriver,
which the baptism of Jesus had made
officacious to cleanse from sin! It is
cousidered probable that the Lord’s bap
tism occurred near here. Here at lhisl
ford, just opposite . Jericho, in the
dindow of the Judean hills, some seven
niles eastward, must have been the
place where Joshna led the chosen peo
vith their priests in front, across the
stream, very neavly at this season of the
vear. From the Moub moantains, just
in front, Moses looked from the still un
fived peak of Pisgah down upon the
land he was never to enter, and Lis ever
venerable ashes slumber somewhere ou
Nebo's nnsettled soil. We crossed the
plain to Jericho, finding what is surmis
ed to be Gilgal in the modern Riah, and
ascend:d the green but neglected. foot
hills watered by the brook Cherith and
by the fouirtain that Blisha healed, un
til we pitched our tenws just under the
hillocks of rums which are supposed to
be the remains of the city that feil be
fore Joshua’s rams’ horns. Lieutenant
Warren, temporarily stopped in its val
aable explorations at Jerusalem, is now
burrowing in four or five different places
in these heaps of artilicial earth, to dis
cover some inore positive traces of the
old city. ‘

Wirar liAn,'r;;. ADS DO FOR FARMERS.—
To hau! forty bushels of coru, fifty miles
on a wagon, would cost at least 12 for
team, driver and expenses. A railroad
would transport it for $4, at most. Al
lowing onan average of forty bushels
per acre, the crop would bs worth ¢ight
dollars more peracre, or cight per cent
on $lOO. As the relative advantage is
about the same for other crops, it is clear
that a railroad passing through a town
would add $lOO per acre to the value of
the farms. A town ten mwiles square
contains 64,000 acres. Anincio-e of
$lOO per dere is equal to $6,400,000, or
enough to build 200 miles of railroad,
cven ifit cost 32,000 per mile. Dut
200 miles of road would extend through
20 towns ten wiles tquare, and cost but
$lO per acre if taxed upon the land.—
These figurcs are given merely as ap il
lustration. “If the farmers had taxed
themselves to build all the railrcads in
this conntiy, and given thiem away to any
companics that would stock aud run them
the present increased value of their lands
woi ' have well repaid all the outlay.
