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! How he Made his Money. —The Wash ington Star reports the following conver mition as having taken place in a barber shop attached to one of the principal ho tels in that city, the other day: First man and brother [reading news paper,]—l see dis Mr. Rosschild, wat jes died, was worf fo’ million dollars.

Second—Gosbamity! be nius’ a had a good district. First—Good district ! Watyu mean? Second —I mean good dislrick, dat’s ■what I mean. I spose he was a whisky inspector; else how could he make so much money? An Alabama editor, in puffing a groce ry kept by a woman says: ‘Her tomatoes are as rea as her own cheeks; her indi go as .bine as her own eyes, and her pep per as hot as her own temper.” A western editor, in response to a sub scriber who grumbled that his morning paper was intolerably damp, explains that “it'ia because there is bo much due on it.” From the Nashville Press. Jan. Ist. iAn Kxcitiug Chase ami Narrow Kscape 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 HERE SHALL THE PRESS THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN, UNAWED BT FEAR AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN.

She clasp ed it to her bosom, covered it with kiss 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 a bucket of spilled milk out near the . barn where the girl had dropped it in j her flight they became exceedingly anx- I ious and uneasy; but the return of the ; servant the hunter and the wonderful little voy ager, who bad the most thrill ! ing adventure that was ever heard of, restored t'lcm to tranquility. There was j a truly merry and joyous Christmas in , that household • 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 don’t cure which.” The experiment of emigration to Hon duras lias ended in suffering, disappoint ment and regret to almost all who left the doutii to settle iu mat empire.
