We parted by th 6 gate in Jane, That soft and balmy month, Beneath the sweetly beaming moon, And (wunth —hunth—sunth—bunth—I can’t find a rhyme to month.) Years were to pass ere we should meet; A wide and yawning gulf Divides me from my love so sweet, While (ulf —sulf—dulf—mulf—stuck agin; I oan’t get any rhyme to gulf. I’m in a gulf myself.) Oh, how I dreaded in my soul To part from my sweet nymph, While years should their long seasons Before (hyrnph—dymph—yinph—l guew I'll have to let it go at that.) Beneath my fortune’s stern decree My lonely spirits sunk, For Ia weary soul should be, And (hunk —dunk —runk—sk—that will never do in the world.) She buried her dear, lovely face Within her azure scarf, She knew I’d take the wretchedness As well as (parf—sarf—darf—karf-and-harf ; that won't answer, either.) Oh, I had loved her many years, I love her for herself ; I love her for her tender tears, And also for her (welf —nelf—helf—pelf! no! no! not for her pelf.) I took between my hands her head, How sweet her lips did pouch! I kissed her lovingly, and said— (Boucko— nioucke—louche -oncli! not a bit of it did I say ouch !) I sorrowfully wrung her hand, My tears they did escape, My sorrows they could not command, And I was but a (sape—dape—fajie— ape ; well, perhaps I did feel like au ape.) I gave to her a fond adieu, Sweet pupil of love’s school; I told her I would e’er bo trne, And always boa dool—sool—moot—fool; since I come to think of it I was a fool, for she fell in love with another fellow before I was gone a mouth. SSiSCcUiMCOH!S. For tlui JourmJ.j . 'l’lie Power oi* Words. UY W. D. SUEMVAN. A WORD! ’T is but a breath that lingers on the ear one little instant, and is still forever. How lightly spoken but oh ! how potent for good or evil ! Gentle words fall upon the W?art with a softening influence, as the dews of heaven fill upon flowers, exhaling their sweet odors and perfuming the passing breeze. But let a whisper of scorning he breathed into'the sensitive ear, and how quickly the tearful eye tells l ow deep down into the soul the burbed shaft was driven, there to rankle and (ester until it springs up and hears the bitter fruits of hate and wrong and death. A single word, and the cherished hope of a life perishes as the tender flower withers before the searing frosts of winter—vanishing like the mists of the morning before the rising sun. One word—not more than the twang of the bow-str ng when the arrow speeds upon its flight— and the soul leups with joy ; its mission for years, perhaps, is accom plished, its object is attained ; the vis ions over which it has dreamed as the eye lingers on beautiful pictures, are realized. The merry laugh of childhood, that gushes Irotn the innocent heart of youth as the waters from the clear, deep fountain, and the groans of age, as it totters to the brink of the grave, come to us in words. Joy and sorrow, love and hate, are borne to us on the same breeze; and the dread destiny of Life or Death hangs upon the utterance ofthelifg. Go watch yon wretched, trembling man, who has, perhaps, dyed his hands in a brother’s blood, as he lis tens to the words of fate. He has pass ed through a thousand dangers with a cheek unblanched. Perchance he has bared his breast to the battle when the storm of war raged high, and the hurt ling shot fell around him like pattering hail; yet he feared not the thunders of the cannon’s roar. But now he stands alone to hear the word of doom from those who hohyds destiny in their lips. He listens—it comes in that awful whim per—Guilty! That little word, more powerful than the pealing thunder, strikes down the strong man groveling iu the dust. See him now, a condemned criminal, as he ascends the scaffold to ex piate his cffence with his life. See him tuke a farewell look upon the world, to him how fair, how doubly dear. He closes his eyes to meet his doom—but a word floats to him on the air— Pardon! ’T is sweeter than lute-string touched by fairy hands. But words are stronger still. Look upon the stars that deck the sky, and know how came they there. “The earth was without form and void, and daik ness was upon the face of the deep ; the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters, and God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.” The Omnipotent had spoken the words of creation, and the universe was bathed in a flood of light poured from the altar of the Great Jehovah. The star-be gemmed Bky was unrolled like a scroll, and the sun came forth in all his glory, obedient to the word of power ; and ris ing in grandest chorus, the archangels burst forth in thrilling anthems— I"Glo ria in Excelsit Deo" around the Sacra mental Throne. Darkness is settling upon the towers and battlements of Jerusalem ; the gil ded spires of the great Temple no longer flash back in glint and sheen the glimmering rays of yon glorious sun.— Deeper, still deeper settles down the gloom. But hush ! bark !—From the dark-mantled brow of bloody Calvery a voice breaks upon the murky atmos phere, and fils upon the ear in accents of agony: “E/oi! Etui! lama tabadhani f" —iny God !my God / why hast thou for saken me? Down,down—deeper,heavi er settles the impenetrable darkness upon all created things. The lightnings flash with lurid glare, and the thunders growl in angry nritterings. The vail of the Temple, with one appalling crash is rent in twain. The rocka are burst asunder. All things give signs of un utterable woe—all things feel the dreadful shock. The earth sways to and Iro, and fr.e hills—the eternal hills —reel upon their deep foundations and stagger like a di unken man. All is gloom—all is darkness—all is terror ; and the heathen pilosopber ciies out in pale consternation, “the end of all things is nigh, or the God of nature suf fers.” Again words break upon the affrighted world : “It it fimuhed /” The great sacrifice has been offered up —the redemption of man is complete— and the Son sits on the right hand of the Father forever in Paradise, to in tercede for the fallen sons of Adam. Oh ! then, let us consider well before we utter words, which though they may seem “trifles light as air,” be come the messengers of fate. Re member that from the words of the great Book must the destiny of all man kind be fixed through the never ending ages of vast Eternity. Thomson, Ga., Nov. 20, 1572. The Centonnlal Commission. Below we give the Address of the United States Centennial Commission, which explains itself. The object is commenduble and patriotic, and the plan of arrangements, if tu ly carried out, will make this the grandest and most magnificent celebration the world ever witnessed.— [Eds. Journal.] AN ADDRESS BY THE UNITED STAT 8 CENTENNIAL COMMI SION. To the Poeple of the United Stales : The Congress of the United States has enacted that the completion of the One Hundreth Year of American Inde pendence shall be celebrated by an In ternational Exhibition of the Arts, Manufactures, and Products of the soil and mine, to bo held at Philadelphia, in 1876, and has appointed a Commis sion, consisting of representatives from each State and Territory, to conduct the celebration. Originating under the auspices of the Nitional Legislature, controlled by a National Commission, and designed. as i TERMS—TWO DOLLARS IN ADVANCE it is to “Commemorate the first Century of our existence, hy an Exhibition of the National resources of the Country and their development, and of our progress in those Arts which benefit mankind, in comparison with those older Nations,” it is to the people at large that the Commission look for the aid which is necessary to make the Cen tennial Celebration the grandest anniver sary the world has ever set n. That the completion of the first cen tury of our existence should be marked by some emposing demonstration is, we believe, the patriotic wish of the peo ple of the whole country. The Con gress of the United States has wisely decided that the Birth day of tt e Greut Republic can be most fittingly celebra ted by the universal collection and dis play of all »he trophi-s of its progress. It is designed to bring together, with in a building covering fifty acres, not only the varied productions of our mines and of the soil, but types of all the in tellectual triumphs of our citizens, specimens of everything that America can furnish, whether from the brains or the hands of her children, and thus make evident to theworld the ad vancement of which a self governed people is capable. In this "Celebration” all will be in vited to participate ; its character be ing International. E jrope will diplay her arts and manufactures, India her curious fabrics, while newly opened China and Japan will lay bare the treas ures which for centuiits their ingenious fieople have been perfecting. Each and will compete in generous rivalry for the palm of superior excellence. i'o this grand gathiring every zone will contribute its fruits and cereals.— No Mineral shall be wanting; for what the East lac&s the West will supply.— Under one roof will the South display in rich luxuriance her growing cotton, and the North in miniature, the cease less machinery of her mills converting that cotton into cloth. Each section of the globe will send its best offerings to this exhibition, and each btate of the Union, as a member of one united body politic, will show to her sister States and to the world, how mnch she can add to the greatness of the nation of which she is a harmonious t art. To make the Centennial Celebration, such a success as the patriotism and the pride of every American demands will require the co-operation of the peo ple of the whole country. The United States Centennial Commission has re ceived no Government aid, such as En gland extended tp her World's Fair, and France to her Universal Exposition, yet the labor and responsibility imposed upon the Commission is as great as in either of those undertakings. It is esti mated that ten millions of dollars will be required, and this sum Congress has provided shall be raised by stock sub scription, and that the people shall have the opportunity of subscribing iu proportion to the population of their respective States and Territories. The Commission- looks to the unfail ing patriotism of the people of every section, to see that each contributes its shore of the benefits of an enterprise in which we all are sodeeply interested. It would further earnestly urge the forma tion in each State and Territory of a centennial organization, which shall in time see that county associations are formed, so that when the nations are gathered together in 1876 each Com monwealth can view with pride the contributions she has made to the na tional glory. Confidently felying on the zeal and patriotism ever disp ayed by our peo ple in every national undertaking, we pledge and prophecy, that the Centen nial Celebration will worthily show how greatness, wealth and intelligence, can be fostered by such institutions as those which have for one hundred years blessed the people of the United States. Joseph R. Hawley. President. Lewis Waln Smith, Temporary Secretary. A Quaker who had been troubled with rats informed a friend that he greased a thirty-foot board, filled it full of fish hooks, set it up at an angle of forty five degrees, and put an old cheese at the top. The rats.«went up, slid back and he caught thirty of 'em the first night. Don Piatt says there are two seasons in which our Administration seeks re pose from its gigantic labors; one is that which precedes the holidays, and the other that which^ follows.
