LIGHT.
“.ml God said. Lot there be light; anil there ]
was light.”
And God saw the light that it was good ; and 1
God divided the light from the darkness.”
tv WILLIAM PITT PALMER.
From the quicken'd womb of the primal gloom.
The sun roll'd, bleak and bare.
Till I wove him a vest for bis Ethiop breast,
Os the threads of my golden hair ;
And when the broad lent of the firmament
Arose on its airy spars,
I pencil'd the hue of its matchless blue,
And spangled it round with stars.
1 painted the flowers of Eden bowers;
And tbeir leaves of living Teen.
Anti mine were the dyes in the sinless eyes
llf Eden's virgin queen;
And when the fiend’s art. on her trustful heart,
llad fasten'd its mortal spell,
Itt the silvery sphere o( the first born tear,
To the earth 1 trembling fell.
Whe i the waves that burst o'er a world accurs- j
ed.
Their work of wrath had sped.
And the Ark's lone few. the tried and true,
Game forth among the dead;
•With the wondrous gleams of nty braided beams
I bade their terrors cease ;
As I wrote on the roll of the storm's dark scroll,
God's covenant of peace.
Like the pall at rest on a pulseless breast.
Night's funeral shadow slept.
Where shepherd swains on the Bethlehem plains
Their lonely vigils kept:
When 1 flash'd on their sight, the herald bright.
Os Heaven's redeeming plan.
As they channted the morn of a Savior horn
Joy, joy, to the outcast man I
Equal favor I show to the lofty and low,
Hn the just and unjust I descend :
E'en the blind, whose vain spheres roll in dark
ness and tears,
Feel my smile the best smile of a friend ;
Nay, the flower of the waste by my love is em
braced,
As the rose in the garden of kings ;
As the chrysalis bier of the worm I appear,
And lo! the gay butterfly's wings.
The desolate Morn, like a mourner forlorn.
Conceals all the pride of her charms,
Till I bid the bright Hours chase the Night from
her bowers,
And lead the young Day to arms ;
Ami when the gay Rover seeks Eve for his lover,
And sinks to her balmy repose,
I wrap tbeir soft rest,by the zephyr-fann'd West,
Is curtains of amber and rose.
From sny sentinel sleep, by the night-brooded
deep,
I gaze w ith nnslumbering eye,
When the cynosure star of the mariner far
Is blotted’ from out the sky ;
And guided by me through the merciless sea,
Though sped by the hurricane’s wings,
His eompaßsless bark, lone, weltering, dark,
To the heaven-home safely he brings.
I waken the flowers in their dew-spangled bow-'
ers,
The birds in their chambers of green,
And mountain and plain grow with beauty again
As they bask in my matinal sheen ;
O, if such the glad worth of my presence to earth,
Though fitful and fleeting the while,
What glories must rest on the home of the
bless’d
Ever bright with the Deitt's smile!

1 A CHILD TAKEN OFF BY AN E.VtiT.l' AND CARRIED
TWO MILES.
A gentleman named Rowers, from'
Meigsville, Jackson county, nowin town
informs us that on Christmas Eve, about
:> o’clock in tho afternoon, the farm of
I Mr. Whiteside, about live miles from
j Meigsville was the scene of a most exci-
I ting and nearly fatal event. It is briefly
| this:
Mr. Whiteside was in the town doing
| some business; his wife was away at a
, neighbors where a.sick child was strug
j gling with cholera infantum, and the on
j ly in door servant they had was out in
; the barn looking after some cattle, when
■ their child-a bright little boy, just learn
! ing to toddle around on its little feet, and j
prattle the name of "pa”—tumbled orj
[ crawled out its cradle in which it. was :
: left asleep by the servant a few moments I
; before and managed somehow to get to |
the floor, which was unfortunately open '
at the time although the girl left in j
charge of the place avers that she had i
| closed it on going out.
j The child tumbled into tiro front yard
: it is supposed, and was crying aud
j sprawling around when a great gray
I eagle, seen by the girl as site was leay
| ing the barn came swooping down and
1 fastening its immense and cruel talons
! in the clothing of the little boy, rose nit
j apparently with much difficulty as high
as it could which was not very high and !
j sailed off across tho adjacent woods, just!
1 skimming as tho servant says the tops I
;of the trees. When the* servant saw the
eagle coming down as she was leaving j
the barn, she had a presentment of tliei
strangest kind and says that she felt
that the child was out of doors and that i
the fierce bird of prey was pouncing |
down upon if; but when in a moment at- |
ter she beheld the great tyrant of the air
rise above the housetop with the child in
its claws, she grew dizzy and fell to the
ground. Her weakness however did-not
continue long; the cold air Mowing a
cross her face revived her quickly and
jumping on her feet and gazing round
wildly, she saw tho eagle disappearing
over the woods in the direction of the
Cumberland river, bhe was filled with
Imt one impulse—to rescue the little
boy. She became as one frantic for site
had a remaikable affection fir the child.
She rushed forward, bounded ov.r the
fence as if she weie endowed with the
lightness and agility'of a doer; dashed
into the wood, dark aud tangled as it
was nor taking time to hunt out foot
paths or crow tracks. She instinctively
felt that the thieving bird would keep in
a straight lino and site kept in a straight
line also. With the strength and un
thinking courage of a strong man who
has become suddenly deranged she dash
ed the undergrowth aside crossed rav
ines as if she were on the level plairtes,
spurned the fallen trees and jagged rocks
as if they were the smoothest aud softest
moss. The patch ol wood was fully a
mile and a half through ; but the girl
made the run to tho other edge of it with
out feeling in the least fatigued. Re
yond the wood and between it and the
river lay a patch of cleared ground part
ly marshy and. partly corn lield full of
old stumps. When she left the wood,
and had a clear view she saw the eagle
as if he were inclined to alight with his
burden somewhere in the neighborhood
of the river. This gave her new cour
age and fresh hope and she ran forward
witii increased speed. It luckily hap
pened at that time that there was a
man hunting in the neighboring tnarshe
es and just at the particular momet,
when the eagle reached the ground with
his prey a shot went off so dangerously
and alarmingly near him (for the hunter
was bchiud a clump of bushes about
twenty yards off and bad his back to
ward the spot where the eagle and the
child were) that he mounted into tho air
again, but this time without his burden.
The pursuing girl was tilled witii joy
when she beheld the bird rise witnouttbe
child. Rut fearing ho would return as
he Rcemed inclined to do, she set up a
vigorous shouting as she ran which at
tracted the hunter’s attention in that di
rection, who seeing the eagle quite near
him and a lady running down the slope
with streaming hair and garments and
wildly shouting concluded at once there
was something strange and pet haps,
dreadful in bis immediate vicinity arid
he also set up a vigorous hallooing ami
proceeded to reload his gun with much
precipitation, forgetting to go after the
game which he had just shot.
The eagle became aware of the formi
dable opposition he wonld meet if be at
tempted to recapture bis prey’, and think
ing better of it he wheeled round and
swung himscli in one grand swoop a
cross the river and disappeared behind
the shelving rock whichjline the opposite
bank at that point before a shot from the
hunters gun was ready to speed its
flight to his bold heart. When the girl
came down to the hunter's she fell stiff
and was not able even to indicate what
was the matter. While the rough gal
lant was endeavoring to restore her to
consciousness he heard the scream of a
child, and leaving the slowly recovering
girl he went toward the spot where the
screaming came from and beheld a fine
healthy rosy boy, with torn clothes but
otherwise uninjured endeavoring to rise
upon bis little feet, Tbp .tears streamed

down bis little innocent chocks, and bis

lie took the baby in his arms and* car
ried it to the girl, who was now suffi
ciently recovered to comprehend that
her beloved charge was safe. She clasp

os, and wept with joy.
j In the meantime the mother and fath
er of the child had relumed home, mid
j finding it empty, with no sign to indi
cate where tne inmates were gone save

j Hiding run Faults of Others. —A pain
’ ter was once engaged upon a likeness of
| Alexander the Great In the course of
: his battles, Alexander had received an
: ugly scar on tho side of his face. The
j artist wai desirous of giving a correct
i likeness of tho monarch, and at the same
time he wished to hide the scar. It was
a difficult task to accomplish. At length
ho hit upon a happy plan. He painted
him in a reflective attitude, his hand
placed against his head while his finger
Covered tho scar.
I Christians arc not without their fail
j digs, their soars ; but ito not dwell up
on them. In speaking of them to otli
i ers, adopt the painter’s plan, and let the
linger of love be placed on the scar.
Thk Wouii “Sei.ah.” —This art un
translated Hebrew word, occurring fre
quently in the Psalms. Its meaning
can only he conjectured. Most Jewish
commentators give to it the meaning of
“eternally,” "forever.” Some writers
suppose it to be a musical note, indica
ting a change of tone or equivalent to
the word "repeat” or signifying silence,
or requiring an elevation of the voice.—
Some suppose it to be an actual appeal
to Jehovah as “Hear Jehovah I” Others
regard it as indicating a special degree
of importance in the text with whictf it
is connected, and as calling particular
attention to it. Whatever may have
boon its sense, tho word seems now to be
unimportant as it may be taken away
from all the places where it is found,
without interrupting the meaning of the
Psalm.
To Cure a Felon. —Nothing iuflicts
more terrible suffering than a bone felon
as very many can testify. Many cures
for this painful affection have been pro
posed, but they generally have been pro
veil failures when tested. We kribw
noth ng of the following, but it is given
from the London Lancet, which is high
authority.
“As soon as the pulsation which in
dicatcs the disease is felt,, put direotly
over the spot a fly blister the size ol
yout thumb nail and let it remain for six
hours at tho expiration of which time, di
redly under the surface of the blister
may be seen the felon which can be
instantly taken out with the point of a
needle or a lancet."’
A negro philosopher, discussing the
relations of races, said: “You know de
turkey he roost on de fence; an’de goose
he roost on de ground. You pull de tor
key off de fence and lie git up again.
You crap his wings, but somehow or
nudder, he gwiuo to get back on de
fence. Now, von put de goose on dt
fence, an be fall, off; he don’t b’long dar
De turkey am de white man. Hecze
j down now but is gwine up agin. Re
nigger is de goose. He better stay
whar be b’longs.
A certain author, Klepsippus, who
j was somewhat overfond of borrowing
I from others, said that his ideas came so
fast, they quite ran away with him.—
“Nay,” said Diogenes, “hut I wonder at
that, fur they ought to run after you.”
“Why so?” asked Klepsippus. “To cry,
Stop thief!”
An old bachelor, who had become mel
ancholy and poetical, wrote some verses
| foi the village paper, in which he ex
pressed the hope that the time would
soon come when ho should “ rest
calmly within a shroud, with a weeping
willow by my side;” but to bis inexpres
sible horror, it came out in print:
“When I shall rest calmly within a shawl,
With a weeping widow by my side.”
For Whooping Gough. —A decoction of
chestnut leaves is said to be a sovereign
remedy for whooping cough. Steep
three or four drachms of the leaves in
boiling water, and give it either hot or
cold, with or without sugar. Carbonate
of lime should be put in sauces about the
room in which there is a sufferer from
this disease. -It prevents infoctiou.
“Sislt-i,” said one of the brethren at a
love-feast, “are you happy?”
“Yes, Deacon, I feel as though I was
in Beelzebub's bosom.”
“Not in Reolzebub’s bosom.”
“Well, in some of the patriarch’s ; 1
