0 happy home! 0 happy children here !
i,ii,ful mansions or our Father's house 1
0 walks surpassing Eden for delight!
llere are the harvests reaped, ouoe sown in
tears;
Here is the rest by ministry enhanced ;
jjure is the banquet of the w ine of heaven,
niches of glory, incorruptible.
I'rowns, amaranthine crowns of victory,
the voice of harpers harping on their harps
the anthems of the holy cherubim,
the crystal river of the Spirit’s joy,
the bridal palace of the Prince of Peace,
the Holiest of Holies—God is here !
[Bifixntath.
There are no new paths to honor anil
,riory! The fickle indices of perverted
minds do not point over the mountains of
iliiliculty and plains of danger to the re
pose and happiness of the conquering
spirit. They point to fields of present
pleasure, where fountains of delicious,
but failing, waters play iu beautiful
ephemeral scenery; where bewitching
music ravishes the ear and seduces the
,oul; where Time is euthroued upon a
pyramid of flowers, and is crowned per
petual youth; when, iu truth, he never
appeared more stern audniever turned his
sail eyes with so beseeching a piayer up
■on the gay and thoughtless revellers ;
.where eternity is kept from view, and
the dread tribunal and the august judge
of quick and dead.
T hey say, “ Let us eat and drink and
vise up to play,” and see not the waiting
presence of death with the irrevocable
warrant which carries all to judgment.
“ Life ” say they •• is for pleasure, and
youth is but a preparation for it ”; that
•• spring must not wear the sombre fashion
of autumn, and the young life must have
its follies, its intemperate delights, its
worldly experience.”
Not so the lessons and prayers of reason
and conscience, whose rules and precepts
the wise and good obey. They point to a
future state. They plead for a good foun
dation against the time to corue. They
point to high and everlasting honors to be
won by patient continuance in well doing.
They warn of the allurements of sin, the
emptiness of earthly pleasures, the deceit
fulness of the unreuewed heart; and they
commend the wisdom that lays up its
treasures in heaven. They also speak of
pleasures that perish not, as morning flow
ers ; where capacity never fails, nor desire
utter its want iu vain ; where nothing
withers and nothing dies ! They speak of
music from harps swept by angel fingers,
balanced and sustained by the chorus of
redeemed millions, forever with the Lord.
They teach the pleasant lessons which
qualify us for the exalted and immaculate
associations of a perfect world :—associa
tions so glorious that none are found able
to present in language even our own
conceptions of then).
Aye, here end all our thoughts, and here
the weary wings of ambition fold them
selves, while, |with deep and wrapt devo
tion the ennobled soul listens “to the great
choral eucharist, the hymn of all crea
tion's everlasting praise.”
This is the goal to which our reason
and conscience, under faithful culture,
lead us. It is where the heart unutterably
Jongs to dwell. It presents the satisfied
aspects of home, and, while nothing seems
strange all things are new'. It is home —
the home of all our good thoughts ; inspi
rations, desires, and resolves 1
Inarenult y of .Hew' York Thieve*.
James L. McEwan, a merchant tailor at
No. 44 East Twenty-third street, beneath
Association Hall, closed his store for the
night at 7:30 P. m , on Thursday last, and
went home. The same evening a lec
ture was given in the hall above, and
nnany of the audience went to the building
an carriages. In the line of carriages was
one that stopped in front of the meTchant
tailor’s. Four men got out of the carriage
and walked to the door of McEwen’s store,
One of the strangers apparently had the
store key, for the front door was quickly
opened and three of the men entered the
store, one of the men remaining on the
sidewalk in front ot the open door.
Several acquaintances of Mr. McEwen
passed the building and saw the strange
men inside the store, within which a
bright gaslight was burning, but thinking
that clerks were making an inventory of
the stock, passed on without stopping. In
the store were three dogs of Mr. McEwen’s
two of which were loose, while the other
was chained. The dogs, upon seeing the
strangers enter the store, began to bark,
and the two that were free attacked the
men. The strangers kicked at the dogs
and struck them with clubs, and finally
drove them beneath the counters. The
most savage and largest of the dogs was
‘Chained. He, however, was so savage
that the strangers kept out of his reach,
and in this way the most valuable goods
were saved.
The strangers collected a large quantity
of goods, boldly carried them out of the
store and putting them in a carriage, drove
away with the plunder. A private watch
man in passing by the building stumbled
against something on the sidewalk, and
discovered that it was a jimmy. He in
spected the stores in the vicinity and found
that the door of the merchant tailor's
store had been forced open, evidently with
the jimmy. Mr. McEwin was at once
informed of the burglary, and on examin
ing his goods found that clothing worth
S4OOO had been stolen.
The week in Wall Street closed with an
advance in gold to 117, the rise being
-chiefly dne to the enormous importations
of foreign merchandise, the total for the
week having been $13,884,000, or at the
rate of nearly $2,000,000 a day. The
rumor also prevailed that the April state
ment of the public debt would show an in
crease. Furthermore, the Bank of Eng
land has raised the rate of discount to foul
per cent. — Herald.

NINE TIMES MAIUUED—FROM AN EARL
TO AN AUAH
One of the strangest current of modern
times just teruiinatod in the death of
Lady Ellenborough at Damascus. Forty
years ago he was one of the most noted
women in Europe, and her residence in
the East has lang been a sort of scanda
lous romance. The daughter of the late
Admiral Sir Henry I)igbe, beautiful witty,
and rich, she married in 1834 the Earl
of Edinburgh, who was afterward Gov
ernor-General of India, and who at that
time was one of the most brilliant men of
the day. She was about seventeen years
of age at the time of her marriage, and
Ellenborough who was a widower, was
thirty four.
They lived together some six years, and
her dissolute conduct was a cause of scan
dal for some time previous to the catastro
phe of her elopement with Prince Felix
IScliwarzenberg, a celebrated roue, then
Austrian Minister in London. The event
caused an immense sensation in the world
of aristocracy and fashion. Ellenborough
procured a divorce from Parliament, and
never married again ; but his runaway
wife soon separated from Schwarzenberg,
and in 1832 married Baron Veuniugen, a
Bavarian.
Tiring ©f him presently, and with her
great wealth and personal fascinations
having little difficulty in procuring di
vorces under the easy laws of Germany,
she was married in succession to five
other individuals ; but as none of these
unions met her expectations, they were all
dissolved after a short duration. In 1848
she was living in Athens with her eighth
husband, a Greek Colonel, Count Tlieo
doki; but without waiting to become a
widow, she had this marriage also dis
solved, and set out for the Levant. Dur
ing a journey from Beyrout to Damascus,
she found anew affinity in the person of
an Arab camel driver, known as Sheikh
Abdul, whom she married after the Arab
fashion, and who was the ninth and last
of her conugal partners.
For a whole year she accompanied him
on his journeys between Beyrout and
Babylon, faithfully fulfilling all the duties
of a camel driver’s wife, even to milking
the camels. Tiring of this nomadic life,
she built for herself a charming palace in
Damascus, where she has since lived in
her own style, a great subject of curiosity
to all European, travelers. Abdul, con
tinuing in business as a camel driver, was
always hospitably entertained by her
whenever he came to the place. And
now she is dead, having completed neaily
three score and ten years, leaving a colos
sal fortune to her relatives of the Digby
family in England and a memory of warn
ing and of shame.
The Farrigut Prize Claims. —Yes-
terday, iH the District Court, before Judge
Humphreys, the case of the Farragut
Claims for prize money for the destruction
of rebel vessels in forcing the passage to
New Orleans, of which the arbitrators a
day or two ago filed their report awarding
$268,000 was up, and Mr. Corwine, lor the
Navy Department, moved that the arbi
trators file the evidence taken. Judge
Humphreys overruled the motion and
General Butler, for the claimants, moved
a decree on the award. To day the hear
ing was resumed. Mr. Corwin filed ex
ceptions to the arbitrator’s report. These
exceptions were not argued, but were
overruled by Judge Humphreys. Mr.
Corwine then renewed the mo'ion to
1 direct the arbitrators to send up the evi
; dence on which their award was based.
I This motion was overruled by the Judge,
! and thereupon the counsel for the captors,
i etc , moved that the Court do enter a
I deeree confirming the aw ird of the arbi
trators and ordering the payment of the
money, which was done. Isew iark
