Poetry.
A THOUGHT.
There never was % valley without a faded
flower,
There never was a heaven without some
little cloud:
TUe f 1 ? 8,1,11 with liRht iu an?
mornin ’hom
But evening soon shall come with her
shadow-woveu shroud.
There never was a river without its mists
of gray;
Thera never was a forest without its fall¬
And ioy ing leaf; walk beside down
may us t he wind¬
When ings of our way,
lo! there sounds a footstep, and we
meet the face of grief.
" riier *drifting s0ashoie without it3
wreck;
There never was an ocean without its
And ‘t'he^gokhm sky ® hat gleams fleck, of glory the
summer 1
Sliine where dead stars arc sleeping in
their azure-mantled grave.
There never wa« a streamlet, however erys
la! clear,
Without a shadow resting on the ripples of
its tide;
Hope’s brightest robes are ’broidored with
the sable fringe of fear—
And she lures us, but abysses girt her
path on either side.
Tho shadow of the mountain falls athwart
And lowly the shadow plain. of the
cloudlet hangs
above the mountain’s head—
And the highest hearts and lowest wear the
shadow of some pain,
And the smile is scarcely flitted ero the
anguished tear is she’d.
For no eyes have there been ever without a
weary tear,
And those lips cannot be human which
have never heaved a sigh,
For without the dreary winter there has
never been a year,
And the tempests hide their terror in tho
calmest summer sky.
The cradle means the coffin, and the coffin
means the grave;
The mother’s song scarce hides tho De
Profundis of tjjf priest—
You may cull the rarest roses any May
day evergavrf
But they wither while you wear them
ere the ending of your least.
So this dreary Its life is passing—and we move
amid maze,
And im grope along together, half in
darkness, half ill light;
AinAiar kvat 1 oilfM. iv a wfco^.0- Ay «*tlw>
mysteries of our all in ways, shadow and
Which are never are
never wluily bright.
And our dim eyes ask a beacon, and our
weary feet a guide, mysteries
Ami our hearts of all life's
seek the meaning and the key;
And a cross gleams the Crucified, o'er our pathway, on it
hangs yearnings the
And He. auswerd all our by
whisper, “Follow Me.”
Life is a burden—bear it;
Life is a duty—dare it;
Life is a ihorn-crown—wear it,
Though it break your heart in twain;
Though lips, the burden crush you down,
Close your and hide your pain,
First the cross—and then-tho crown.

Bachelor’s Retreat.
Chapter 8th., on the “Human Mind.”
Elder Democrat: The only excuse 1 ’ve
to render to you and your numerous
readers for not dishiug up something for
the last two issues, is because of press¬
ing business, as the case should be with
all fanners at this particular soason of
the year.
I’ll attempt now to gather up some
more fragments suggested from iny
series of letters, as they have been ap¬
pearing for Hie last several weeks on the
Human Mind.
The power of the Human Mind has
nevei ‘ l,een antl never wi'lbe fully tested.
Experiments and discoveries have been,
it is true, made and remade and yet it is
subject replete with new thought and
beauty, neither time, nor effort, will ever
be able to prove its great depth of in tel*
lect and energy. The wonderful results
of Uli,ld are wer y where a,i(i al > the tiin «
being displayed. No matter which way
you go-or in what direction you look,
there is to be seen some subject or ob
ject that the mind has investigated.
This does not lesson its strength or
beauty, but on the contrary, creates
within it nobler aspirations, inspires it
wi'h a greater zeal, springs up new top
ics and briar's about inevitably a closer
scrutiny (of mind into itself) of the vari
ous workings in surrounding nature.
The mind is led on thus to grander pro¬
ductions of thinking over matter aud
what environs its every day pathway
through life as well as that which points
(as it were in golden chains) continual¬
ly to the great beyond in eternity. In
assuming the position that rnan is
a triune being—composed of soul, mind
and body, I maintain that the rnind is
the most powerful agency employed in
, the whole “mechinistn” in certain fields
1 of cultivation, and I hold further-more,
| that it is mind that governs largely the
moral status of man’s responsibility to
j God in tins world, while at tiie same
I time I’m happy to admit that the heart
or soul is pulling its way tenderly along
j and touching the activities of the mind
| and sense of duty. For illustration of
the fact, we have only to observe the
varied operations of mind in a
! capacity, for instance as when a fine
mon is preached, if there he any
impression ensuing therefrom, it is
first through the medium of mind and
’ there finds a lodgement ov attraction in
: the heart of man. The mind is therefore
master of the situation, the author,
as it were, to instrwej’tke immortal
part, the soul (strange to say) how to
act, think and speak according to the
divine revelation. If Ruud was alone
the soul (socalled) why ’ti d msauc would
have no refuge. No rofTfse from etern
al , punishment. It is e* nigh for them
to be deprived of the phSiuree and bap
piness incident to this trie without cou
signing them to eicriasticg
t:on. Again to be humorous if the
mind was the soul, why Alary body would
desire if possible to go t<'heaven without
(minds) l mean souls. This at once
will disclose the mystery, * although 1
do not know much about theology
or Phenology it is s&ply my opin
ion. Taking this view 6 { the sub
ject from a high moral-stand point it
•, ’
would , , have at . a casual . glance , some¬
what the appearance of inconsistency.
But not all, when examined. Those
who are (ante mens) in favor ot the
mind being the soul mfght as well ar¬
gue that the dumb creation have souls,
since the dog can be tn)g$t and educat¬
ed. Yea, even tho hog may go so far in
the literary field as to graduate in some
special branch of study. The logical
conclusion therefore, is whatever can be
taught has mind, but not necessarily a
soul, the underlying principle and never
dying part of man.
Wherever mind exist there’s a power
which moves the heart or soul of man,
and it is equally true in regard to the
soul’s conscience, it works likewise upon
the mind in the performances of all the
different duties and avocations in life,
“Out of the a bendane? «f the heart the
month speaketh.” •*.
This is evidence sufficient that the
mind speaks the sentiments of the in
ner man and tbrerefoi'<^isjforuver tft.of engag
ed in the accomplishm eiUier good
or evil. f

Ghastly mysteries accompany the life
of a great city. A little steamer tho
other day carried from Blackwell's
Island, Now York, to tho paiqier burial
ground forty-three bodies of persons who
had been found dead and taken to the
morgue, but were unidentified and sent
to nameless graves after due time had
been given for friends to call and recog¬
nize them.
The Mormon religion lias been stead¬
ily extending itself. “For several
years,” says the San Francisco Chroni
icl,-, “its members have been
swarming in large numbers from the pa¬
rent hive and establishing nourishing
colonies in the adjacent States and Ter¬
ritories. They are pouring in steady
streams into Colorado, Montana, Wash¬
ington and Wyoming. They are al¬
ready sufficiently strong in Idaho lo
hold the balance of political power; and
wherever they go they act and vote Jin
implicit obedience to their ecclesiastical
authorities.”

i 11 is so rare to find an insurance com

any record of such an event should lie
read with interest. In England a mari
insured his life in a company, and hav
ing been killed by an accident tiie com
pany refused to pay the policy on the
ground of the intemperate habits of tiie
deceased. He certainly was an iutemp
erate man, hut a clause in the policy
bound him to forfeit his claims if he
‘‘became intemperate.” The judge,
however, held tliat, as the deceased hud
always been intemperate aud continued
so, lie had not “become intemperate,’’
and consequently bad not forfeited his
claim. The case and decision have
amusing points, although the judge’s
ruling seems to be an encouragement

to intemperate men to remain so, how
ever much it may also be effectual in
keeping sober men temperate,
The Scotch fastiug girl turns out to
be a first-class fraud. She had entered
upon her nineteenth week of martyrdom
am) was gradually growing weaker upon
a diet of water, when she was threatened
with confinement in a lunatic asylum if
s i,e persisted in committing suicide,
This threat had an astonishing effect,
The mafdcn, who had feebly declared
that she could not swallow a mouthful
of food, forthwith begun to eat freely of
porridge, followed by milk, broth and
beef. Now that the girl is proved*to
have deceived those about her in respect
to her ability to swallow food, no one
will believe she told the truth in dcclur
ing that slie had not eaten anything for
eighteen weeks.
A correspondent of the London JSc/io
pictures a subject of the bey of Tunis as
the most wretched creature on the face
of the earth. A genial raiu, which is
his only joy ill life, is likewise hi^great¬
est misery, for, if the heavens are favor¬
able and the poor fellow obtains a good
crop upon bis fruitful soil, report of it is
carried to headquarters. The barefoot¬
ed soldiery of the boy swoops down upon
his fields, and he and his children aro
robbed mercilessly of their bread, which
is taken from their very mouths on the
pretense of recovering his unpaid taxes.

Recent advices speak of the discovery
of a new gold field in tho most inland
part of New South Wales, which is
causing some excitement among the guid¬

Ranges is Wilcatini.i, on the Darling

200 miles from the gold field. Water is
scarce, anil only to he met with at dis¬

One of A. II. Stephens’ Stones.
Wasliingtou Gorrespondeiico of the Lou¬
isville Courier-Journal.
Representative) Aleck Stephens tells
an anecdote illustrating how late in life
a woman’s sensitiveness about her age
may last. He says that at a time when
it was known that tho widow of Presi¬
dent Madison was in such poverty as
really to be suffering for the necessaries
of life, a bill for her relief, giving her a
pension was introduced into the house,
which he earnestly championed. He
made a telling point in i rgiug its imme¬
diate passage by saying ; “Gentlemen
lo day the lady reaches tho venerable
age of 82 years, and it would Ire a parlic
u larly gr.icefulthing for this House to
honor th« day by passing at once the bill
f or n -lief.” He laid such stress
upon the matter and advocated the pas
sage of the bill so warmly that it was
0 n that day. He felt so elated
with his triumph that ho decided to
take the news to herself, and hastened
at or.ee to her residence. Home one,
however, bad preceeded him and fully
reported his speech to the lady, who, to
his surprise, greeted him by saying;
