A lady had written on a card, and placed on the top of an hour-glass in her garden house the following simple verse irom one of the poems of John Clare. It was tfye season when, the flowers were iu their highest glory : To think of summers yet to come, That I am not to see ! To think & weed is yet to bloom From dust that I shall be !” F, TUP next morning she found the fol lowing lines, ia pencil, on the back of the same card : i ± To think when Heaven and earth are fletl, And times.and seasons o’er ; ’ 1 When all that can die shall be dead, f 1 That I shall die no more 1 6! where will then my portion be?

West sent an armless man to jail for picking pockets; Repulsed and Welcomed. An elderly man, shabbily attired, was seen tvalking through one of the fashionable streets of a large e"ity one 'cold December day. His coat was of a coarse gray, and had evidently seen hard service. The traveler walked slowly along, examining carefully, an he passed, the names on the different door plates. He finally paused before a dwelling of showy exterior, which, if we may credit to the ’ testimony of the plate upon the door, was occupied by Alexander. Beaumont. ‘Alexander Beaumont 1 yes; • that’s the name,’ murmured the traveler to himself, as he ascended the steps and rang the doorbell. His sumtnotiß was answered-by a servant, who, after a moment’s scrutiny, which apparently was not of a very fa vorable character, said roughly : ‘Well, sir, what do you want V ‘ls- Mr. Hottumont at home T .asked the old man, without heading nre inten-, tional rudeness. ‘No, sir, he is not 4 ‘Then, perhaps ! can see his wife ?’ ‘I think it very doubtful; but I will go find see.’ i The servant withdrew wjthout asking Ute-blti Hian.to enter, ; thongh the day was very cold, and his clothing seemed, to be hardly sufficient to protect him from its inclemency. Mrs. Beaumont was reclining on a fouteujl room haudsomely furnished. YTjlle' Wst 1 new "“magazine was-, in hep hand, and her eyes were listlessly glan cing over its pages. She was inter rupted in her reading by the entrance of tbe-.s6r**nfc» " ■> . 1 - ‘Well, what now, Telly'?*' aha inquir ed. . r ‘There is a man clown stairs who wants to see you, ma’am.’ • ' ‘Man ! a gentleman you mean?’ *,. h ‘No, ma’am,’ said Betty, stoutly, for she well understood what made up a gentleman in the conventional sense of the term; ‘it isn’t a gentleman at all. Tor he has got on an old gray coat, and he has not got any gloves on.’ ‘What can he want of me V ‘I don’t know ; he inquired after Mr. Beaumont first.’ ‘You didn’t bring him into the par lor, did you ?’ Thei’girl shook her head. •You did right, and you had better tell him I’m not at home.’ ‘Mrs. Beaumont is not at home,’ said Betty, reappearing at the door. ‘-I swpoqse thajt means she is engaged,’ said the old man ; ‘I think she will see me when she learns r who >1 am. Tell her 1 am her husband’s uncle, and my name is Henry Be^umont.’ ;‘*Tbfit- oki rag-tfig 'master’s unele,’ said Betty, wondering as she descended theetajra. - v r ‘Good heavens!’ said hei frrtstrfee#, ‘it ain’t that old veteran who strolled off years ago, nobody knows where. I did ’nope he never would come back again. And now I suppose he is ns poor as a rat, and wants help. Well, ho won’t get it if I can help it; but 1 suppose I must see him.’ She descended the stairs, and receiv ed the old man at the door. ‘Are you Mrs. Beaumont ?’ be in qroired> 1 ‘ ‘Yes, I am the wife of Mr. Alexan der Beaumont, and I suppose from your language,you are— ’ „ ‘His uncle Henry I Ah me, 'Jihave been gone ■sd-'fliaHyyears, and it does me good to return to my kindred.’ The old man leaned on his staff, and his features worked convulsively as thoughts ofltlii'el-pß&tcameover his mind# ‘Mrs Beaumont stood holding the door, as if wailing for him to depart. IShe did not give him any invitation to enter. ‘ls your husband weli ?’ inquired the visitor, looking,-in as if he expected an invitation to enter and refresh himself, alter his walk, by an interval of rest. ‘He is. If you have any message for him you may leave it with mo, and I will deliver it,’ said Mrs. Beaumont, de sirous of ridding herself of the intruder asisoten aa r pddsm!e. | \ ‘You inayTefihim I have cal’ed,’ said the visitor in a disappointed tone, ‘and that I would have liked to have seen him.’ > ‘I ‘wilbteH.him,’ said Mrs. Beaumont| as she was about to close the door. ‘Hold.,J there is one question more.— What has become of Alexander’s Bister ‘1 don’t know much about hef,’ wag the rather disdainful reply; ‘but I think she married a clerk, mechanic, or some such person. His name is Lowe, and he lives in Norton street. Is that all V ‘That is all.’ * The old man turned his steps toward the street indicated, with many forebod. ittgs lest his*v?sit'might, be as unwelcome -as the first appeared to he. ’ ‘Betty,’ said Mrs. Beaumont, as she closed the door, ‘lf that old fool comes again, be sure and not forget to tell him I am not at home.’ Norton street was not a fashionable street, nor was the two-story dwelling occupied by William Lowe either band ,spate or costly. It was marked, ho'wev er, with an air of neatness, which indi cated that its tenants wera.not regard less of outward appearances. *We will take the liberty of introdu cing you in a little sitting room, where Mrs. Lowe and her three children wore even now seated. A plain, serviceable carpet covered the floor, and the re mainder of the furniture, though of a kind which would hardly be selected, for a drawing room, had a comfortable, homelike appearauce, which simply sat isfied the desire of those who - derived their happiness from a.-higher and less mutable force than outside show. Mia. Lowe was seated in a rocking chair, engaged in an employment which I am, aware is tabooed in all fagbiondble so ciety, I mean darning stockings. Emma, a girl of teD, was brushing the hearth, which the ashes from the grate, in which a blazing fire was now burning, had somewhat disordered, while Mary, who was two years youn«- ‘6r, was reading. OfraHey, a little rogue of five,’Who had a smiling face, which could not help looking roguish, was stroking the cat the wrong way, much to the disturbance of poor Tubby, who had quietly settled herself d<nvn to pleasant dreams op,£h-»,&q»Ptb,-;rug. All at once a loud knock was heard at the door. ‘Emma,’ said the mother, ‘you may go to the door and see who it is, and invite him in, for it is a oold day.’ Emma immediately obeyed the moth er’s directions. > > • • ‘ls Mrs. Lowe at home ?’ inquired Henry Beaumont—for it was be. ‘Yes, sir,’ said Emma ; -‘please walk fli, and you Inky see her.’’ She ushered the old man into the comfortable sitting-room. ' .. Mrs. Lowe arose to receive bim. "•‘I bellfeve,’ be said, ‘l’m not mistaken in tbinkiiig that your name before mar riage was Anna Beaumont?’ ‘You are right, sir, that was my name.’ ‘And you have uo recollection of an uncle that wandered away from home and friends, and from whom no tidings have come for many a long year ?’ ‘Y T «vsir,-1 remember biru’HvMl-—my uncle Henry—and I have many times wished I could hear something from him. Ca-n you give me any informa tion ?’ ‘I can—for lam he.’ ; • ■ < ‘You my/uncle ?’ said Mrs. Lowe, in surprise; ‘then you are indeed welcome. Emma, bring your uncle the arm-chair, and place it close to the fire; and Mary bring your father’s slippers, for, I am sure your dear uncle must long to get off those heavy boots. And now, un cle, when you are quite rested, I must demand avrecital of your adventures.’ ‘But your brother Alexander/ rupted Mr. Beaumont; ‘let me first in> quire about him. He lives in the city now, does ha not ?’ A light’clcmd came over Mrs. Lowe’s, face. ‘Yes/ she said, ‘he does live in the city; yet, 6trange as it may appear, I seldom or never see him. He has suc ceeded well, and is wealthy. But. ev er since he married a wife, with a small property and greater pride, he has kept aloof from us. Ido not blame him so much as his wife, who is said to have great influence over him. I have call ed once, but she treated me so coldly that I have not felt a disposition to re new my visit.’ .v '{ efifi Easily believe it,’ was the re ply, ‘for I, too, have been repulsed.’ ‘You repulsed ? Did you give your name, and inform her of your relation ta.ber V * ‘I did’; but sbe did ‘not invite me to enter, and she was evidently impatient for me to be gone ; I am.’ ‘At least, uncle/ said Mrs. Lowe, smilingly, .‘you need not be afrard of any repulse here.* ‘Of that I am quite sure/ said the old gentleman, looking affectionately into the face of his niece. ‘But you have not told me of your husband. Let me know whether you have made a good match/ ha added, playfully. ‘That depends upon what is meant by the term. If it implies a rich hus band, then I failed, most certainly, for William’s salary is only eight hundred dollars a year, and that is what we have to depend upou. But for all that I care not, for a kind, affectionate hus band is far more worthy than a magnifi cent house and the most costly furni ture.’ ‘You are right/ said her uncle ; ‘there must be something which your limited means will not permit you to obtain, but which would be desirable, is there not ?’ ‘Yes/ said Mrs. Lowe, ‘I am anxious to give Emma and Mary a musical-ed;, ucation, but William’s means .AViIH cot allow of such extravagance>as the pur chase of a pianoq so that is one of the things we must be*content to deny our selves.’ Mr. Lowe then entered, and being informed of the character of his visitor, he extended a hearty’ wtettctm'e. A comfortable repast was soon spread, of which Mr. Beaumont readily par* took. His spirits rose, and be seemed to grow younger as he saw the cheer ful faces around him, and felt himself at home. Soon after the evening meal he rose to depart. ‘Surely you are not gpiog ?’ said his niece; ‘you mus* henceforth -take upj your abode with us.’ ’ ’ ‘We will see about that, and if you don’t think you will get tired of me, perhaps I will come. But l have hired a lodging, and must undoubtedly re main in it for a few days.’ ‘But you’ll call in eveiy day, and make yourself perfectly at home, even before you come here to stay/ persisted his niece. / ‘Be sure of that.’ ' '• 5 In accordance with his promise, Mr. ißenumont made bis appearance next day at eleven o’clock, and was received as cordially as before. ‘lfo'hfed * hardly s been in the bouse a quarter of an hour when a loud rap was heard at the door.

As you expressed a wish yesterday for a piano, I thought it would be as acceptable a way as any.’ ‘You, uncle? Why, excuse me — but I thought from—from’ ‘You mean,’ said he, smiling, ‘that you thought from my appearance that I could not afford, itc; And I confess, said he, casting a glance at himself in the glass, ‘that my dress is not in the extreme of fashion, and in fact I was obliged to look some time when I calL ed at the second hand clothing store the other day before 1 could find these. However, as I have got ail the service I wished ttlit of them, 1 ißhall throw them aside to-morrow, and appear more respectably clad.’ ‘What! Are you wealthy, uncle ?’ ‘Depend upon it, Anna, I didn’t spend ten .years ip |he East Indies*for nothing/ was the reply, i had the mind, howev er, to put on the appearance of a poor man, and so test the affection and dis interestedness of my relations.

But this was found not to be the case; The bright spots indicated a process thfit'Wfifi g6:ng on VipOn the sun’s surface —a process so rapid-tbat in five minutes the spots had travelled over a space of nearly 34,000 miles. > 'At the' very same time that this was taking place magnetic storms swept in stantaneous—so subsequent ' observa tions proved—through both hemispheres of our globe. At Washington and Pliitedelp’hih the signal inen in thp. tele graph offices received sharp eletric shocks; the tracing pen used in Bain’s system of telegraphy was followed by a flame; and iu Norway telegraphic ‘ffiachinery was set’wfire. Boreal and austral auroras were seen that night with unusual splendor, as the disturbed needy vibrated, waving their, colored streamers in the heavens, insomuch that it was evident that the disturbance on the sun’s surface had instantaneously communicated to the earth magnetic thrills which vibrated from pole to pole. Nor is this ait. *. There is a strange connection oftentimes between the ac tion of these magnetic forces and the phenomena of earthquakes aDd volca noes. Indeed it has been recently ar gued that the cast© 6f the’tatter is to be found not in the subterranean fires of our globe expanding vapors, and giving them a destructive agency, but iu the electricity communicated to our globe by the sun. But be this as it may, it is a startling fact that there is a force manifesting iCseffioTv the face of the sun simply as a brilliant light flashing over its surface, that can, tbrongh an inter val of ninety five millions of miles, in stantaneously operate on our earth, blaze along our telegraphic wires, give electric shocks to the signal men station ed by them, flash Northern lights through the heavens, thrill the very globe from pole to pole with magnetic influences, disturb the nature, and per haps rock the solid earth as if its sur face, in some places at least, were a ftiere scale on a boilißgsea of fire. But here is an ageDt.a mysterious force, that annihilates distance, as light cannot do it, as gravitation perhaps cannot'wio it; originating, we know not how, but when showing itself on the sun, travel ing almost in an instant through the bounds of the solar system, telegraph ing as it were to the extremities of cre ation without any instrumentality of wires or fibnnetions, the 'toiil of the great Maker, reaching and affecting the fibres of ail living things, breaking up the repose of nature, and calling forth at once tbe-most magnificent displays of northern light and,volcanic force, tifi the solid glebe 'reefe rotflih at its noiseless touch ! Who can help feeling that all gross material.forces.sink. into insignificance before tlifa'tsubtiTd jgdiicy, the mystery of which must be resolved into the finite will of the Creator I What a be ing must He be who holds it in His hand, or who breathes it forth, as it were, to fulfill His mandates ! What is man, or what are all bis works, howev er stupendous or elaborate, while we contemplate the amazing exhibition of a power whfch itr'a-h instant cam-'travel, through all these vast planetary spaces, ar.d in a single moment can execqjte the will of Him who sends it with the speed and precision of the lightning, and. vyhich, having shot through •spkc«vwith; enSrgy st'Hl unspent, can rend the rocks 1 and make the mountains quake, and cover the midnight heavens with splen dors unutterable, before which the bold est faces grow pale, and the boldest hearts grow weak !—The Evangelist. Remarkable Chain of Circum stantial Evidence- The recent conviction of John A. Munroe, for murder, in St. John, N. 8., was due to a most remarkable chain of circumstantial evidence. The remains’ of the victims, mother and child, were discovered in the woods in a lonely place ten miles from St aohn, nearly a year after the murder, and consisted of only the skulls, a roll of hair, a few bones and portions of clothing. The strictest search and most careful inquiry for weeks failed to discover the disap--, pearance ol a woman from any family for milesaround. AH was shrouded in mys tery. Suddenly a hackman recollected having twice carried a woman and child in his baq£ to the vicinity of where the reiftawk were found, eleven mouths be-' fore, accompanied by John A. Munroe, an industrious architect, whose reputa tion had always been above suspicion. Investigation disclosed the fact that Munroe bgd been intimated with a girlof’’Carlbton, named Susan M. Vuil, who had born him a child in Feb ruary of last year, and shortly after sold the house iu which she had lived, disappeared. The b'tickman testbed 1 that he carried Munroe mid Mrs. Chirk and child to the vicinity of the murder the-26th and again on the . 31st of party got out of the hack to walk a short distance to the house of a friend, that Munroe came-back alone in half an hour, and that Murtroe then engaged him to carry the lady's truuk from the Union Hotel to the - Boston steamboat on the following Monday, where thq lady would be taken by the friends pj whose house he had left her. The ters of Miss Yail, who supposed she was living a life of shame in some un known place, identified the remains by the hair, teeth, and sentppief-,clothing, while a piece of flattened lead found with the remains of the child was recog nized as having-formed part of a truss made by Mies Vail’s sister,’ for *p. slight rupture with which the child was beftm. The steamlsoat warehouse in Boston was ransacked, the trunk of Miss Clarke, carried to the boat by the backman as ordered, was found, and its contents at once recognized ae belonging to Miss. Vail, NufnefbQS other circumstances cams to light, which served'to connect the links in the evidence, till a complete chain was formed, against whice Man roe’s counsel could only offer the previ ous good character of the prisoner, and .appeal for mercy. It would seem mys terious, tret for the existence of an over ruling Providence, that just these por tions' ofxhe remains were left undevour ed by the elements and wild beast that were needed to convict the murderer. Had these been carried away, and all the rest remained, it is probable the crime could never have been traced to its perpetrator. —Portland Pfet*. ■* -..J., , ..^i' Foolishness of Intemperance. The habit of liquor driflking, is to our minds, the most inexcusable piece of destructive nonsense in tire world. And nowhere is It more prevalent than in cities. The money, poured down the throats of men each'year is greater than the amount expended for improvements. Whisky saloons,.and all sorts of irrational and jvreds tand 4 places ,to fool away money, are found by the hundreds and thousands in cities. If a man is tired be drinks ; if at work he drinks.— If doing ffotbtng he must have a nip eve ry hour. If too warm he must have a julep; if too cold a hot whiskey. If he is .by himself, out comes a flask or bottle'; if in company, he stands treat till his money be gone ; then, like a dead-beat, sits around till someone asks bim up. A man on a moderate salary steps into a saloon, invites half a dozen friends to drink, payslialf a dollar or more, aiftd walks out. Three or four times a day he repeats this, and always drinks when asked. It i,s social. - Men mean noth* ing by it- But during tbe week half ;a man’s salary has been poured do\vn Wc throat, destroying his stomach and weakening his hervefi, 6vct ,J exciting his braiAj anth rebbing himself and family of money needed’for other purposed. But it fe febcial! '.v ' Drink in the morning, at noon, at night, then a few between drinks. The brain in whirls—the hand grows un steady—the pocket grows empty—the home ones suffer—the eyes look red and tremulous, as if ashamed—afifibitibn ”!a drowned in poison. Pretty soon the poor fellow is unfit for-business—he makes mistakes. He is sick, unable to, work. He is not a man to be -relied -Hpon.-*- He leaves Dis place and in time* finds a poor one. Then be feels blue—drinks still more, his family suffers, he leaves his place again, and at last dies a mere wreck. But it is social! v'.V’.V J We believe a man has no right’to“Sill himself suddenly or by slow poison. It may be none of our business in the ab stract, yet we are sorry to see men fool* ing themselves away—dying like weeds n a gutter when they might b upright, healthy, loved aud useful, of benefit to themselves and others. And this is why we write against intempers ance. Health is too precious to be was ted. Manhood is too noble to be thrown into the gutter. Life is too sweet to be drugged with poisons now compounded and sold as liquors. To drink poison may be social, but it costs too much for us, or for any man of sense who loves himself or others. Who of our readers dare think of this matter ahd act as their better judgment shall dictate ? -A Week in his Coffin— A St. Louis Merchant Suspends Animation.—Jo seph Fredrick Heitkamp,* ! k ‘St;-' Louis merchant, is lying in a state of suspen ded animation in an elegant silver-moun ted coffin, lined with white silk. By some he is supposed to have died on Monday night last, while others stoutly, maintain 1 tfcflt he stiir'lives. The Repub lican of Saturday says: “The features betoken a pleasant, quiet sleep. The flesh, though cold, re-, tains £ degreq of elasticity and softness remareab’e after &o ! 'long a time has elapsed since the soul is supposed *fco‘ have taken its flight to the eternal world. The balls of the dyete, when the lids are unclosed, are covered with a thick' coal ing of film. Although he ceased to breathe on Monday night last, and to all appedrapces died, there rs‘ still, dr was ud to 9 o’clock last 'flight, bo sighn of decomposition; neither was there the least sign of that deathly hue or color peculiar to death. His features are as natural as they were in life'; his fingers; are limber, and, to look at his face, 01 to feel his gloved hand, one would sup pose that fie was in a deep sleep. His wrist, elbow, and knee-joints are not altogether stiff, although he has lain as a dead man since Monday night. These facts go to sustaip the theory or belief that he is not deirfl. On the other hand his face and hands, and flesh generally, are as cold as it is possible for a dead man’s to become, although there is an entire absence of that clamniiftesS pe culiar to dead bodies. No motion of bis heart or pulse is iu auy wise percep-, tible. There are no signs of a circula tion of- blood, and in all, save the pecu liarities as above recited, he seems to be as dead as man ever was ; .and these facts sustain the bfllifef that he is dead.”. On Tuesday a man dtid Woman, at tired in a singular manner, visited the corpse, and announced that they would work a miracle by raising the dead.— They proceeded to make .various manip ulations ove* the "body, and handled it quite roughly, whereupon a relative of the dead man was called, by one of the attending watchers, who gave the mira cle-working individual a beating; and the wouian was ejaculated from the house in a decidedly unceremonious mauuet.. v - sr'i*.
