UAH VEST.
With throbbing Heart and tearful eve
I watched the Springtime fleeting by'.
I saw the snowdrop at its birth
Felled, by spears of rain, to earth.
The iris burst her emerald sheans,
And show the amethyst beneath.
The painted tulip fade and close
Before the glory of the rose ;
And now, down fields of sunburn grass
I see tho withering rose leaves pass ;
And night by night, and day by day.
The life of Summer ebbs away.
I flee the granaries overflow,
The mellowing orchards bonding low.
O God ! my heart in awe and fear
Looks back upon Thy perfect year.
Thy bounty covers all the lands ;
I lift in prayer my empty hands.
Of all the Summer of ray life
My harvest is but sin and strife.
Oh! could these tears, like April rain,
Make moist my heart’s hard soil again.
And stir the seeds which Thou did’st
sow,
Oh! never should they cease to flow.
Could prayer but melt this ice away,
Oil! never would I cease to pray.
Till Thou in,., mercy, Lord didst bring
Into my second Spring
Oil! tbYfr. 4/ii.it rich reward and sweet

MOODY AND SANKEY.
The Sort of Men. They Are, and the Se
cret of Their Tower.
jNew York correspondence of tho Bos
ton Journal.
Sir. Moody is not a stranger to Brook
lyn. lie is an undersized, stocky man.
He makes no pretensions to eloquee,
but relies on a certain energetic and
forcible way of saying things that com
mands attention, lie has a nasal twang,
and is abrupt and homely in liis ex
pressions. ilo reads the litble careless
ly and in the rapidity of liis utterance
blunders and boggles and corrects him
self from time to time. He seldom;
speaks over twenty minutes at one time, i
and when there is the slightest uneasi
ness he pauses an lcalls upon Air. Sail
key to sing. He has no suavity in his
methods of acldre.33. lie rises nervous
ly with a jerk and says: “I want you
to keep still while tiie solo is sung.”
j You cannot hear Mr. Sankey unless you
are quiet. When the chorus is suurr you
cau move about if you want to.’ Take !
j away the surroundings, the excitement, j
j tho sympathy of the churches and the
crowd, and Mr. Moody's address would j
I make a very fair prayer meeting ex-1
I hortation. it is easy to see that tiie!
magnetic power of tiie meeting is in
the hands of Air. Sankey. Rcople can
not hear Mr. Moody tit tiie further end
of the rink. And people will not keep
still when they cannot hear. So people
jostle and move, rise, sit, go out and
oome. But tiie moment it is announced
that Air. Sankey is to sing everything is
hushed, lie is very modest and very
sympathetic. Yet lie is artistic and his
! plans are all laid. He touches tiie in
strument and pauses, that everybody
may become quiet, lie often prefaces
liis songs with a few pleasant words,
lie often offers a short prayer for a
blessing on the song to be sting. When
all are hushed lie commences. He is
an elocutionist of song. Ho sings high,
he sings low, lie sings rapid, he sings
soft, and effectually uses tho rhetorical
pause. All these follow each other with
great rapidity, and arc all highly effec
tive. He cats nis words short, with an
evident intention. The line “Jesus of
Nazareth passeth by,” is sung as “Jose
jof Nazar pass'th by.” Nobody but
] Sankey could sing that hymn to the
| musie. The closing lines are sung:
I “Too 1-a-t-e, too 1-a-te,” with a long
drawn emphasis ou the last late. Hisi
voice is full and strong, and his enmi-l
ciation is exceedingly clear and di.s-j
tinet. liis voice has in it an elementi
better described by the word Methndb
tic than by any other; Mr. Sankey is a!
large sized, finely developed man, with I
sandy hair and whiskers, pleasant face
and pleasant address, with a winning
way that finds welcome at once to every
heart. The singing with a lull chorus
! is very effective. But there is nothing
| in it that is new or in any way unlike
j the better form of our Sunday-school
1 singing. There is not a school in Brook
lyn that could not go up to the platform
| and make a good chorus choir.

Maxtanzas, Oct. 0. 1875.
But a few days flown and changed
their position in the never ending cir
cles of time, since I was writing to you
about being so comfortably installed in
Ilolgum, yet you will credit a truth
when L tell you that into the last lew
days of that brief period 1 have
crowded an eternity of unrest, and
drawn therefrom a lesson of experience
that has taught me the truth of the old
proverb, “A rolling stone gathers no
moss.” This, of coig'sg, may cause you
to wonder at wiiaU has happened and
ask what is the matter? But be patient
and bear with me and I will endeavor to
comply witii this very reasonable curi
osity, and in so doing I hope that none
of my friends will feel that I am talking
for talk sake, or writing with the pen of
art, a mess of fiction without a base,
but look at me as one standing on the
shores of truth ancl purity and with the
pen of nature, writing a description of
what really is a fac simile of the sub
ject.
My stay in Ilolgum, though pleasant
was short, an l on the 6th of October I
took passage on the steamer .Spang for
the port of Mantanzas, and was just
sufficient number of other passengers to
make it comfortable. The weather was
very mild and line and everything prom
ised a prosperous and speedy passage.
The wind blew freshly and the sea
heaved in long undulated swells, rook
ing gently the handsome little steamer
which sat on its bosom with the grace
of a swan. Every one was delighted at
tiie prospect and seemed to have set out
on this trip high in life and full of hone
The greenish world of water aronn I us,
with its white foani-orostod waves leap
ing in far distance, seemed to t’u.; eve
to stretch away boundless as e! erni'v.
The fast receding land, the blue s!;v
with its thin floating clouds Imggi tig the
horizon, the sett breeze, tho soothing
roll of tho vessel as she ploughed her
way through tint briny deep, leaving a
path of foam behind as tra isi try a
luiinau joys, all inspired the imagina
tion with illimitable soarings towards
the throne of the Internal. Tims tli
day" passed away as pleasantly a : heart
could wish, and as night begins ;.i low
er. lutr dusky curtains over the deep,
the waters seemed to quell an 1 I lie
waves that lia l all day boa;, the boat's
bows, now dies away under his mantle
as gentle as infant sighs.
After a pleasant night's rest 1 was
up early next morning to see tin.sun
rise at sfla, and if ever old So! prided
himself it must have been on this occa
sion, for indeed, did lie send forth hts
most brilliant rays over the green
waters. All nature was silent, not a
sound, not a wave disturbed Wte still
hushed atmosphere, and as our little
craft ploughed tho placid surface of a
calm sea, each face was ofluigeut with
the rays of divine light and every emo
tion bespoke joyous contentment. —-
Visions of bliss present themselves to
view and dreams of joy with sweet de
lusion fill tho vacant, mind, and all ap
pear to lie as it were walking up and
down in anew world, cropping the un
blown flowers and drinking of the un
tested springs.
Here it was my soul for the first time
expanded to real happiness. But here,
too, did I suffer the most cruel loss.—
Notwithstanding the morning was so
promising at noon the sky was overcast,
and still later the clouds wallc l up
thicker and more threatening iu the
West. Tho air became oppressive—
“ikiep .s’.veiii.ig ga to
And sultry stillness take tho rulohy tuni.
Whilst u’er oar It tads Me h trik and It.-av,’
c.outls
Roil slowly uu”
Distant angry muttering* of thunder
sounded hoarse and ominous, and light
ning streake 1 the western sky with
luminous lines grand and awful to be
hold, and ere the sun had set the rain
fell in torrents. Heaven's artillery till
then delayed to gather its mustering
forces, sent forth its grandest disson
ances. Real upon peal of terillic tiuni
der followed fast the Hashes of forked
lightning. The whole sky blaze l with
oorrnsoations of dazzling light.
Rain fill memories of some events in
the unhappy past were awakened aid
L became lost in excitement from which
I was started by a sharp, crashing sound
as a discharge from a battery of can
nons. The boat had been drawn out of
her course by the lory of the tempest
and struck on a ledge and almost dash
ed to pieces. Mho was so shattered that
it was evident that she must sink in a
short time. A scene of wild confusion
an l horror prevailed throughout the
rapidly sinking ship, which was filled
with water by ev.ery recurring wave.—
Fright and despair was painted on every
Ist;.: and yet not a word escaped the lips
too profoundly sealed to utter sound,
though each one seemed to feel that an
undefined, awful calamity had oocured
and that the grim king of terror* was at
hand. The yawl s were quickly lowered
and chairs, tables and settees were
thrown into the water. As l looked over
at the shattered fragments and then
down into tho deep, dark abyss of rag
ing waters, l for a moment close l my
eyes iu prayer, 0. (Toil ! receive my
spirit. At this moment the vessel
careened atid a sensible fall of several
feet followed, liivn' Lately I opened
my eyes and to my delight found my
self in one of the small boats, being
carried away from the vessel. The
beat rowed off’ some distance. 1 was
filled with horror as 1 beheld men, wo
men and children shrieking and vvring
j ing their hands in anguish on the deck
of the settling steamer. Many of the
men jumped out and clung to floating
chairs in the roaring sea.
At this moment a cry of lire pierced
the air, and lurid flames leaped, hissed
and darted amid the smoke, adding
more tei rifle grandeur and confusion to
the fearful picture. Just then a long,
murky wave swept over the “Spang”
and severed her in two parts with a heavy
crash and cracking of timbers. Wild,
agonized, prolonged, dismal shrieks
from tho dying and the doomed rent
the air, while the rush, the surge of the
agitated waters lent its voice to swell
the choir of music, chanting ala st sub
lime requiem over the fated as tho3 r fell
into tho engitlphing waves, which serv
ed them both for winding sheets and
sepulchre. Suddenly the fragments of
the steamer sunk with their burthen of
human creatures to rise no more, and
nothing but eddies and bubbles of foam
remained to mark the spot so recently
occupied by tine fated ship and the hu
man beings who went down with her
forever.
The boats we were in leaked badly
and we were tan or twelve miles from
land, the ocean every moment growing
more rough under the in.weasad wind.
"The noise oi'many waters,” mingled
with the groans and agonizing cries of
the drowning for lioip, grew more weak
as the little barque roceodod farther and
farther from the spot where the strug
gling human bein gs wrestled vainly wdh
the elements for life. After some hours
of labor we were cheered by the ap
proach of land. Soon we effected a
landing and we were all taken to com
fortable quarters and well cared for.
EASY MANNERS.
Recent events have oalle 1 public at
; -mtion to the intimate relations of mor
als and manners. It may be said that
there is no greater peril to morality
than much that is called merely free
and easy manners. Young men and i
even young women, permit themselves
a freedom and lie.aise of manners
which having all aspect of impropriety
may very rear lily acquire its -nhs aa-ee.

to pass her over the street, "if i wish

her thoughtlessly or unnecessarily. Nor
will such a woman permit any kind of
rudeness in the tone or manner of men.

S NOR INC.
An aimecdote was well told, some
years ago, of a polite Southerner, an ac
complished and kind-hearted gentleman,
which has found a place, and we think
deservedly, in our collection :
On one oceassion he had been driv
ing hard, from morning until nighi,
over the rough roads in tiie neighbor
hood of Columbia, South Carolina, and
alighted at the only comfortable-look
ing tavern in the place, very hungry
and tired. Sticking bis eve-glass to his
eye—liis constant companion, lie being
very near sighted—lie demanded a roa st
of fowl, some good wine, anti a comfort
able room for tiie night.
The landlord was 'exceedingly sorry,'
but he “couldn't give him a comfortable
room ; the only place lie could have to
s'ein was a doulde-bedde l room, wil.it
another gentleman.”
‘‘Very well, sir; let us have the best
you ve got. No man can do more than
that, sir.”
After discussing his supper, he sought
Ins room, turned in, and went to sleep.
Ills slumbers were destined to be of
short duration. Before long lie was
awakened by a call from the other be 1.
“Sir! sir l’’
"Bless my soul ?” cried I) -.
: thursting his glass up to his eye, ami
endeavoring to peer through tlic dark,
“what's the matter my dear sir? Is the
lion-e on fire, or are there 1m >’s in your
bed?”
“Neither, sir; but, my dear sir, you
snore so terrible that I can not sleep,
sir. It is terriliio, sir
"Btess me, my dear sir, I am shocked
that 1 should have been so rude as to
snore in a gentleman's presence, and
ho a stranger to me. 1 really ask your
pardon, sir, ail 1 beg t-oifll overlook it.
1. wasu t intentional, 1 assure you.”
The apology was accepted ; a goo 1-
nigitl was exchanged, and both parties 1
Went to sleep again.
It was not long, however, before a
riiinMiug sound was hoard from the
polite gentleman's bed, every moment
growing- louder, until at length it end
iel iu a thunderous diapason. Tiie oth
er lodger, driven almost to mu lucss,
starto 1 up and exclaimed ;
"Goo 1 gracious ! this is too much ! 1
can't stand it! I say, sir ! sir ! ! sir !! !
wake up. sir!”
"Bless my sou!! well, what's the :
matter now?” cried out the offender,
starting up in bad; "you seem to be i
vi ry readers, sir.”
"Restless! I believe yon !” sail the
disturbed gentleman; "you've been
snoring again, sir. worse than ever, and
1 can not get to sleep.’’
"Ton don't say so ! Have 1 been re
pealing my rudeness to a stranger? I
am really extremely sorry, my dear :
■ ; u', but 1 was really asleep. Good
nigh., night—mg.it ; very stir—sot*

Everlasting Fexch Rosts.—A cor
respondent of tiie Western Rural says :
"I discovered many years ago that
wood could be made to last longer than
iron in tha ground, but thought the pro
cess so simple and inexpensive that it
was not .worth while making any stir
about it. 1 would as soon have pop
lar. b isswoo 1 or quaking ash as any
other kind ol timber, for fence posts.
I have taken out bn iswoo l posts aider
having been set seven years, thal were
as sound when taken up as when they
were first put iu the grottn 1. Time and
weather seems to have no effect on
them. Ihe posts ca.u be prepared for

benefit of others I will give you the re

it in pulverized charcoal to tiie consis
