I lie in the summer meadows, In the meadows all alone, With the infinite sky above me, And the sun on Ins mid-day throne. The smell oi the flowering grntscs Is sweeter than any rose. And a million of happy insects Sing in the warm repose. The mother lark that is brooding Feels the sun on her wings, And the deeps on the’ noon-day glitter With the swarms of fairy things. From the billowy green beneath me To the fathomless blue above, The creatures of God arc happy In the warmth of their stunner love. The infinite Miss of Nature, I fee.l in every vein ; The life and tire light of summer Blossom in heart and brain. But darker than any shadow, Than thunder—(loads unfurled, The awful truth arises, That death is in the world. And the sky may beam as ever, And never a cloud be curled, And the air be living odors. But death is in tho wprld. Out of the deep of sunshine, The invisible host is hurled. There’s life in the summer meadows, But death is in the world! REWARDS. BY MARY A. DENISON.

I have likewise seen the snuley, selfish, . ialt scamp, who ground dowu Ins neighbor, i-dd bouses to houses, and Land to land while his children flourished like olive plants around his table. 1 have seen the profligate whose tongue was the outlet to filthy sewers—the velvet fingered, careful, polished epicurean rioter on every virtue, and contemner of every social morality, grow sleek and vigorous and rich and (of course) respited by even those who knew him best (outwardly.) 1 have known ati honest child to return a bank note of value that he found and receive a penny for it.

Truly does the Scripture say “all things shall work togeth er for good, to them that l ive God.”— But it does not fix the limit of our mercies —it may be that the good will not meet us till after the judgment. Large folks and little ones, hear ye! Learn to do good, because it is good to do good. In other words, do it for the good’s sake and not for your own. Think not of the reward—“hut Oh ! this is sweet, sim ply to do mercy, to walk humbly—to think uo evil of my neighbor.” Work— pray—hope—have faith, and look to God for wages.— Olive Branch. Honors to the Dead, From the first pages of the world’s his tory we learn that veneration for the mein cry of the dead was early manifested by both enlightened and barbarous nations. Man lias never ceased to shed the tear of sorrow, to rear the costly cenotaph, or to herald to the world the merits of one fal len iu the life-march. This custom, im planted, as it were by Natuie, is a tacit argument in favor of the existence of an “immortal past,” and of its future reunion with the material; for the sacred dust is deposited with a care which bespeaks an expectation that the soul will, one day, claim again its tabernacle. The variety of manner in which this in nate reverence for the dcpaited has man ifested itself in both ancient aud modem times, presents a gravely pleasant field for thought. The pyramids, which rear their heads with a gloomy grandeur toward Egyptian skies, speak plainly of the vast amount of human energy,—nay, human life, expended in procuring a depository for royal as Iks. The mummies found in oriental tombs cannot but remind one ot the tender cares hesto.ved iu embalming those frail tenements, that they might be preserved through future ages. llow imposing must have been the fu neral solemnities of those ancient days One is thrilled with a feeling of awe while gazing at the picture, so vividly p'ortray ed by the sacred artist, of the vast cor tege which bore to burial the-remains of Jacob. The train, of “chariots and horse men, and all the elders of the land, —a very gieat company,”—wends its way over the plains ’ ol Egypt, to Canaan, where, in the cave of Machpelah they lay the Patriarch to rest. More grand though less impressive, was the array which at- Jendcd the Conqueror of the World to the tomb,—yes, to the tomb, for, though lie seized the sceptre of nations, he was him self a subject in a realm whose monarch is relentless Death. Borne in a chariot which glittered with the wealth of the East, his golden coffin hung with a purple pall, the gilt embroidery ot which flashed in the sunlight, and followed by an im mouse concomse of people, lie found repose beneath the shadow of a temple wherein he received divine honors; fur the vener ation of the ancients, as regards the mem ory of their heroes, extended beyond the magnificence of funeral pomp, taking the form of woiship. The traveller of the present day pauses to read from richly-carved pillars the epitaphs of the illustrious dead, borne hither in all the pageantry of wealth, with ‘■ little sincere grief,—or. perhaps, by a sim ple, sober train, while the hearts of a na tion mourned. The deep sorrow of Joseph who “fell spoil his father’s face, and wept, and kissed him,” was afar richer tribute to the memory of Jacob, tlmn the hosts of Egypt'coe.ld have bestowed. The grief of Alexander’s soldiers at the death ofa prince whom the” loved, was a mere envia ble memento than the splendid proces.eion which followed him to the tomb. Ever the simple tear of earnest sorrow for the dead is more desirable than the glitter of parade, and wbo would not prize more highly a monument in even one Imina# heart, whereon were ineffacebly inscribed the virtues of the deceased, than a lifeless marble shaft, though it pierced the heavens and the world might read its empty in scirption / Oyeliha aid Oxford Railroad. — \Yo learn from the Chambers (Ala.)

A Genuine Chinese Wedding, The upper tendom of (Jhinadom bad been agitated not a little during the last forty-eight hours, the occasion being the celebration of the nuptial ceremonies of jAh Yok and Ah Say. It is often that the wedding rites amongst the natives of the flowery Kingdom have been performed by Christian Clergymen, but a regular pagan eeremony is lately witnessed here. At 11 o’clock last evening, the villainous sounds of gongs, reeds and cymbals drew us-in one of the large basement apartments of a Chinese house on Jackson street, between Kearny and Dupont. On descending into the subterranean chamber we encountered at least a hundred Celestials of Both sexes, who were mostly seated around tables and engaged in screeching, smoking, and some few listening to the dulcet notes of the -baiid. At the farther end of the main room a curtained canopy had been erected, and seated within, the groom, Ah Yok. This candidate for matrimony was neatly attir ed in the costume of his countrymen, but wore upon his head a gilded ornament re sembling a comb, and around l.is neck a pink-colored scarf, lie is a mere youth, and, as his father, to whom we were for merly presented, announced to us, hut “nineteen years old.” Immediately in front of the canopy, on a table, was spread an entertainment for their guests consisting of dates and con fectionery, the table being ornamented with ware and sundry other articles of Chinese manufacture. Hieroglyphics on the ihii.tz ctirta-n of the canopy Repre sented the name ot the groom. At inter vals damsels entered bearing tiny cups of ten, which were passed amongst their fe male companions, which they supped with infinite gusto. The head-dress of the women was most elaborately gotten up, tin ir jet black hair being bound over glittering combs of ex quisite workmanship. The bride was not present, but at home, in an adjoining street, receiving her friends with the same ostentatious paiado as was her husband here. These ceremonies were, in reality, ante nuptial, inasmuch as the two were not to he joined finally in holy wedlock until five o’clock this morning, at which honr they were duly escorted to the matrimo nial couch. The fan-dango commenced early day before yesterday, and was con tinued without interruption, during that and la ,t night. The bride presented throughout the en tire festivities a mournful-picture, sighing and sobbing at intervals, as if she would not have enough of sorrow after taking “John” to her bosom. The Bride and groom are hofli Cantonese, and have been in the country about five years.

[Alta Californian. Suggestions to ‘Planters* New that the cotton season is over, and the growing crop will be maturing in a few weeks, 1 deem it proper to offer the fol lowing suggestions for the benefit of plan ters: Ist. Let your cotton, when it opens, he picked with proper care, being clear of dirt and as free as possible from trash. Both these things arc great drawbacks in effec ting sales. Factors find great difficulty in selling dirty and trashy cotton, and they arc frequently compelled to effect sales at very low prices, while the 6ame cotton, il clear* wail 1 command ready fairs at fair j prices, and thus pay (he owners well for the ex’v i labor required. 2d. Take proper pains in ginning and packing. Avoid as far as possible, the too common evil of “napping” with the gin. And also of “wet packing” it with screw. Let enough bagging be put on to cover up the cotton entirely, then cows will not eat into the hales ; and they will be in much better condition for shipping. Bagging will generally pay for itself in sel ling the cotton, heceetbc greater propri ety of using a Jittlo more to put the bales | in better condition. When cotton is well covered, it suffers less from exposure to fire and other damages; anti rogues have not the same opportunity todraw Lmndfulls out to replenish their own stock. Iu gin- 1 ning, two qualities of cotton should not be mixed together. Neither should two dif ferent qualities ever be put into the same bale. These mixtures are sure to cause annoyance to cotton dealers and factois, j and they subject planters tbemslves to trouble and loss. Witeu planters have remnauts of cotton, tbey should gin and pack each kind to itself ; and if the bales are too light for shipping, they can bo sold to the cotton factories. 3d. When the cotton is to be sent by Railroad, the planter’s name should lie distinctly maiked with good ink upon the heads of the bales. This is proper at all times, but more especially when shipped ( by railroad. Cotton brands arc generally , furnished gratis by warehouses, and every planter can get them with but little cost and trouble. When the name is properly put upon the bales, but little trouble is nec essary to identify them ; but when the bales are not sufficiently marked, inore or less Ison hie may he ejected, and it is almost sure to come. By giving attention to these little mat ters, planters will save themselves much trouble and expense. A Warehouse Man. | in Columbus Times. Tire Trials ol'tire Seducer. The seducer ! Playing upon the most sacred affection?, be betrays innocence.— How 1 By its noblest faculty, by its trust by its unsuspecting faith, by its tender love by its honor. The victim often and often is not the accomplice so much as the suffer er, betrayed by an exorcism which ue witclied her noblest affections to become the the suicide of her virtue ! The be trayer, for the most intense selfishness, without one noble motive, without one pre tense of honor, by lie?, by a devilish jug glery of fraud, by blinding the eye, con fusing the conscience, misleading the judgment, and instilling the dew of sorce ry upon every flower of sweet affection, deliberately—heartlessly damns the c< li dding victim ! Is there one shade of good intention—one glimmering trace of light ! No, not one! There was net the most shadowy, tremulous intention of honor.— It was a sheer, premeditated, wholesale ruin, from beginning to end. The occurs- 1 ed sorcerer opens the door of the World to push her forth. She looks out all shud- 1 dering, for there is shame, and sharp-tooth ed hatred, and chattering slander, and 1 chattering slander, aud malignant envy, and triumphant jealousy, and old revenge —these are seen rising before her, clouds full of fire that burns, but will not kill.— And there is for Iter want, and poverty, and gaunt famine ! There is the world spread out; sire fees father and mother heartlessly abandoning her, a brother’s shame and a sister’s anguish. It is a vis ion of desolation, a plundered home, an altar wh re boner and purity and peace have been insidiously sacrificed to the foul Moloch. All is cheerless to the eye, and the ear catches the sounds of sighing and mourning, wails and laments, and far down at the horizon of the vision, the mgrky cloud for a moment lifts, and she sees the very bottom of infamy, the ghastliness of death, the last spasm of horrible departure the awful thunder of a final doom. Ail this tho trembling, betrayed creature sees through the open door of the future, and with a voice that might move the dead, she turns and clasps his knees, in awful agony : “Leave mo not! Oh Jsparo me! save me ! east me not away !” Poortliing! she is dealing with a demon t Spare her! rave her ! The polished scoundrel be trayed her .to abandon her, and walks the streets to boast his hellish deed! It be corni's him as a reputation l Surely socie ty will crush him. They will smite the wolf, and seek out the bleeding lamb. Oh, my soul! believe it not ! What sight is that l The drooping victim is worse used than the infernal destroyer ! Ife i3 fon dled, courted, passed from honor to honor, and she is crushed and mangled under the infuriate tramp of public indignation! On her mangled corpse they stand to put the laurels on her murderer’s brow’! I see such things ats these, I thank God that there is a judgment, and that there is a hell! The Vai.uk of Accuracy.— lt is the result of every day's experience, that stea dy attention to matters of detail, lies at the bottom of human progress ; and that diligence, above all, is the mother of good luck. Accuracy is also ot much impor tance, and an invariable mark < fgcod train ing in a man. Accuracy in observation, accuracy in speech, accuracy in the trans action of affairs. What is done in business must ho well done ,- for it is better to ac complish perfectly a small amount of work than to half-do ten times as much. A wise i man used to say, “Stay a little, that we may make an end the sooner.” Too little attention, howevei, is paid to this liighlv important quality of accuracy. Asa man eminent in practical science latel}’observ ed tc us, “It is astonishing how few people I have met in the course of my experience frho can define a fact accurately.” Yet, in business affairs, itisthe mannrria which | even small matters are transacted, that of ten decides men for or against you. With virtue, capacity, and good conduct in other respects, tho-person who is habitually in | actuate cannot he trusted ; his work has to be gone ovei again ; and lie thus causes endless annoyance, vexatio*, and trouble. The Wife. —It is astouisbing to see how well man may live on a small income, who Las a bandy and industrious wife, dome men live and make a far better appear ance on six or eight dollars a week, than others do on fifteen or eighteen dollars. The man does his part well, but bis wile good for nothing. She will even upbraid her husband for uot living in as good style as his neighbor, while the fault is entirely her own. His neighbor has a neat, capa ble, and industrious wife, and that makes i tbe difference. His wife, on the other I i hand, is a whirlpool, into which a great j j many silver cups might be thrown, and . j tin-, appearance of the water would remain j unchanged.

Tire Eud oFercaf Men. Happening to cast my eyes upon a print ed page of miniature portraits I perceived that the four person-ages who occupied tho same conspicuous places, were Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar, and Bonaparte. I have seen the same unnumbered times before* but never did the same sensation arise in my bosom, as tny mind hastily glanced over their several histories. Alexander, after having climbed the dizzy bights of his ambition, and with hie temples hound with chaplets dipped iu the blood of countless nations, looked down upon a conquered World and wept that there was not iftother W’orld for hint to conquer, set a city on tire, and died in a scene of debauch. Hannibal, after having, to the nsfonihh ment and consternation of Rome, passed the Alps, after having put to flight tho ar mies of this‘’mistress of the world,” and stripped “three bushels of gold rings front: the fingers of her slaughtered knights, and made her very foundation qttnke—fled from his country, being hated by those whe oxultingly united Ins name’ to that of their god and called him IJaiini Biiol—and died at last by poison administered by his hands, unlamented and unwept in a for eign land- Caesar, after having conquered eight hundred cities, and dyed his garments iu the blood of one million of his foes; after having ptrvsued to death the only rival he had on earth, was miserably assassinated by those he considered as his neartst friends, and in that very place, the attain ment of which had been his greatest am bition. Bonaparte, whose mandate kings ancl popes obeyed, having filled the earth writh the terror of his name; after having deluged Europe with tears and blood, and clothed the world in sackcloth; closed his days in lonely banishment, almost literally exiled from the world, yet where he could sometimes see his country’s banner wav ing over the deep, but wliish would not or could not give him aid ! Thus, theso toua men, who. from the peculiar situation of their portraits,, seemed to stand as the i vpreseutatives of all- those whom the world calls great—those four, who each in turn made the earth tremble to its very center by their simple tread severally died, one by intoxication, or, as some suppose, by poison mingled in his wine ; one a suicide; one murdered by bis friends, and one a lonely exile! “Jlow art tbe mighty fallen !” A Bbaltiful Picture.—A mother teaching her child Lo pray, is an object at once the most sublime and tender that the imagination can conceive. Elevated above earthly things, slat seems like one of those i guardian angels, the eornpanion of our earthly pilgrimage, through whose mims irations we are inclined to good and ios trained from evil. The image of th mother becomes associated in his mind with the invocation she taught him to his “Father who i.-> In heaven.” When the seductions of the world assail his yctilhful mind, that well remembered prayer to bis “Father who is in heaven,” will strength en him to resist evil. When in riper years he mingles with mankind, and encounters fraud under the mask of honesty, when he se.es confiding goodness befrayed, generos ity ridiculed as weakness, unbridled hatred i and the coolness of interested friendship, lie may indeed be tempted to despise Lis fellow men, hut he will remember his “Father who is in heaven.” Should he, on the contrary, abandon bin.self to tlia world, and allow these.ci of self-love to spring up and flourish in bis heart, lie will, nutwltustandiug. sometimes bear a warning voice in the depths of his soul, severely tender as those maternal Ups which instructed him to his “Father who is in heaven.” Hut when ‘.he trials of life arc over, and he may bo extended on the bed of death, with no other consolation but the praise of an approving conscience, be will recail tho scenes of bis infancy, the image of bis mother, and with tranquil i confidence will resign his soul to Him who i died that lie might live—the Redeemer of | the wojd. rrilofl.
