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.

Lhiese arve, say mythological records, the wfortunate Calista and her buater son lic former converted to a bear by Ju ac's jealousy-=the latter saved from th crimie of ignorantly slayving “his wotha by Jupiter, who, snatching them froin carth, placed them cternal stars in the hieaveus, Daphue, when pursued by Apollo, ~.-.-hu !ml‘ been ('H\'i(iii.\i.\' \\‘«H::nlml l)_\‘ by Cupid's darty prayed to her fathes Peneus, saying, 0, deliver me, my sive ! and 4;:&('“}' her golden tresses be 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.

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. ‘ e B 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.
