von! My soul will always be among vou when you sing my music ; my body will go, but the soul will remain. Fare well !” All the votaries of Art who had con veyed him to the Hall, now placed the Maestro’s chair again on their shoulders, and carried it slowly through the Hall to ward the entrance. The audience stood in silent reverence, and looked up to Haydn’s passing form, and durst not break this profound still ness by uttering a sound. They bade farewell to the universally beloved and revered Maestro, only by bowing their heads to him. and shedding tears of enio tion—farewell for evermore! The solemn procession had now arrived ut the door. Joseph Haydn lifted his weary head once more ; his spirit gleam ed once more in his eyes; an expression of unutterable love beamed from his mild face ; he stretched out his arms towards the Orchestra, as if to bless it, and greet ed it with his smile, with the nodding of his head, and the tears which filled his eyes. A low rustling and sobbing passed through the Hall; no one was courageous enough to clap his hands; all hearts were profoundly moved ; all eyes filled with tears. Jjut now he disappeared, and the door closed behind Joseph Haydn. The Cer mati Maestro had to-day celebrated his apotheosis amidst the enthusiastic people of Vienna. Life had dedicated to him the laurel wreath which usually only Death grants to Poets and Artists. ■ Bishop Davis on “ Intoning.” —The Southern Christian Advocate says : We stated some weeks back that Bishop Davis, of South Carolina, went to Savannah to take part in the consecration of Bishop Beckwith, but left the city before the service came off, because he objected to the ritualistic novelties to be introduced into the service. Bishop Davis states the fact in his annual report to the P. E. Convention of his diocese. He says: “ From Edgefield I proceeded to Savan nah, to discharge the duties appointed to me by the Prasiding Bishop of the Church, as one of the consecrators of the Bishop elect of Georgia. Accordingly, I arrived in that city on the morning of the Ist of April, but found, to my extreme surprise and regret, that it had been determined that the services should be choral, and that preparations had been going on for more than a week to that end. As I deemed this wholly unauthorized, and am myself entirely opposed to the system, I resolved at once that I would take no part in the consecration. On the morn ing, therefore, of the day apyointed, after having given due notice of my purposes, I took the steamer for Bluffton, and con tinued the visitation of my diocese. But 1 wish to here express my sincere sorrow that this necessity was then forced upon me ; it was very painful for me to differ with and separate from my brethren, and especially so, since my brother elect to the Episcopate was approved by all, was to exercise the holy office side by side with myself, and I had gone to Savan nah, with much pleasure, to hail anew Episcopal light, risen from my native State.” .. Dissolution Extraordinary. —Xo mer cantile journal has announced the fact, but, it is said, the most extraordinary partnership crer known is to be shortly dissolved. The Siamese twins, Chang and Eng, are coming to Paris, from North Carolina, to undergo an operation for di viding the strange bond of flesh which holds them together. They are fifty nine years old, and arrived from Siam forty years ago. Having visited Ameri ca, ihey made their home there, settled on a farm, married two sisters, and are fathers each of nine children The link which binds them is near the heart and lungs, and seems an organized portion of both alike. It couples them in a most curious unity of sensation, nervous im pression, and moral and mental phenome na, so that the greatest modern surgeons have forbidden the divorce which they now contemplate. But the twins are afraid that if one fall ill the other must, and they have found their life—or lives, shall we say?—dear enough, even under these unparalleled conditions, to make them anxious to live on. By this time we should think they must be tolerably reconciled to each other’s society; but what a worse than Dantesque idea if one should die and the other survive ? A man named Cornelius Doherty, aged 95 years, and his wife, aged SO years, applied for out-door relief at the Killarney Union, on the grounds of age and infirmi ty. The guardians being divided on the matter, a division was taken with the re sult favorable to applicants. A sum of os. was granted to both, who belong to Coolies, to which division they were chargeable.— Tralee Ch ronicle. [For the Banner of the South.] One of Many. The tired hands, all nerveless now, Lie folded calmly on her breast, And on the pallid cheek and brow Is set the seal of endless rest. What matters it that vanished years Had marked for her a saddened race ; What matter, though our silent tears Fall softly on the dear, dead face ? The patient feet that, aching, toiled Along the ’wilderiug path of care, By no foul taint, or contact, soiled, Lured by no flower-enamelled snare; The willing, tireless feet, that trod O’er cruel thorns, the weary way, Upon the mountain heights of God Are resting peacefully to-day. The brave, true heart, that never shrank, Though tossed upon the wildest seas, Nor quailed, when, martyr-like, it drank Griefs chalice to the very lees ; The tender heart, that bleeding, beat Unconquered stiU, through all the past, Ceased throbbing at its Saviour’s feet, And sleeps within His arms at last. Poor, tired hands! your rest is earned ; Dear, patient feet! the goal Is won ; Brave heart, true heart! the lesson learned, Bask thou beneath the eternal sun ! . O men! what gain on earth to show Os what we have, or what we miss? O world! when will you come to know The beauty of such lives as this ? Fidelia. Banner of the South.— Some friend has laid us under obligations by sending a copy of this excellent weekly, edited by that ripe Scholar, true Poet, and Christian gentleman, Father llyan. It is pub lished at Augusta, Ga., and the number before us is filled with that kind of read ing matter, extracted and original, which cannot fail to improve those who read for improvement, and delight those who can appreciate elevated sentiment, generous devotion to Country, and Faith in the triumph of Truth. We cannot withhold an extract on The Women of the Country. * * * * We C3n say to the good Father, that while we cannot deny the truth of his strictures, as yet they apply to no con siderable number of our Northern women. While there are such Amazons stalking over the country, their boldness and un femii’ine effrontery never fails to be re buked by the good and true women whose ambition is content with the love of their husbands, and to be the honored mothers of worthy sons.— Auburn ( Cal) Placet' Herald The Banner of the South should be a regular visitor to every Georgia house hold. It is with pride and pleasure that we peruse its fearless and patriotic edito rials, and thank God that our dowm-trodden and fettered land has so staunch and dauntless an exponent as Father By an. Although not marching under the same religious “Banner’’ as the learned pro pounder of the Catholic Faith, we are suf ficiently charitable to accord to others, perfect sincerity in their convictions, and the same right of belief that we claim for ourselves. We are marshaled, however, in the same political army, and, heart and hand, will fight together in our glorious Cause, until victory shall perch triumph antly upon our “Banner.' ” —Madison (Ga.) Auditor. «■ Great German Movement.— “ The German vote, which has been Radical heretofore, is fast becoming alienated from that party, so much so that the Al bany Evening Journal. (Radical) says there is not a German paper of any pre tentions in that State which favors the election of Grant. A dispatch from Springfield, Massachusetts, states that the German papers of that city, which has always been well supported, has stopped because it could not find enough German Radicals to support it. Die, Zunhuft , the established organ of the Turners, the largest German organization in America, has taken the Radical party to task dis secting it and showing its corruptions, comes out square for Seymour and Blair. That one journal alone will bring thou sands of German voters to the Democratic party. The Quincy (111.) Herald says that in that city there has not been less than fifty changes of German Radicals m the last month, and in Adams county not less than two hundred.” This tells a tale of woe to the Radical car, and points to that party's day of doom. The great German maases of this country, if they have not constituted the hack-bone of the Republican party, have certainly supplied it with marrow. With out the German vote, there can be no hope of the oloction of Grant That he will not get the mass of that vote is pretty certain. [Columbus (O.) Statesman. Mrs. Bytes’ Claim to the English Throne. —The claim of Mrs. Ryves to be “ Brincess of Cumberland,” appears to have been finally disposed of. It came before the House of Lords on the 22d lilt., on appeal from the Divorce Court. ©g ffEI golm Mrs. Ryves, the plaintiff, who is over seventy years of age, claimed to be the lawful heir to the crown of England, as being a lineal descendant of the Duke of Cumberland, the son of George 11. The appellant has established her legitimacy as the daughter of Olive Serres, but com plains of that part of the decree issued by the Court below, which declares that her mother was not the legitimate daugh ter of the Duke of Cumberland. Her case was, that immediately after the death of George 111, her mother assumed the honor, title, and dignity of a Princess of the blood royal, and that, the certificate of her birth having been authenticated, she was acknowledged hv George IV, in council as “ the only legitimate daughter of his late uncle, Henry Frederick, Duke of Cumberland.” But, just as Mr. Bell, the Princess’ counsel, was on the point of selecting for her a residence suitable to her rank, he was spirited away by the Duke of York, who was personally afraid of her coming forward with papers affect ing himself or his family, and had, there fore, determined that no assistance should be given to her either by the King or the Ministry. The case was barely opened when the Attorney General urged that as no bill of exceptions had been ten dered, nor a motion for anew trial made, the appeal could not lie. The objection was fatal, and their Lordships dismissed the case with costs. ADVERTISEMENTS. Wanted—Agents. #75 to~#2oo.
