which, for the magnilicence of the
scene, tiie ina >4:.i 11 leofthe transaction,
and tiie durable tdiects which ii draweili
on, stands unrivalled in the annals of
human knowledge, and witii which the
powers of Conception cannot be brought
t* contend. Imagination cowers her
wing, unable to fetch the cm no ins of
the ideal scene. Tie great wiiit* !
throne descending 0 it of heaven, guar
ded and begirt with the principalities
and powers liiovof—the awful pres
ence at whoie sight the heavens an
iho earth flee mvav, and no place ior
them is found—the shaking of the mo
thor elements of nature, and the coin
motion of tiie hoary deep, to render up
their long dissolved dead—the rushing
together of quickened men upon all the
winds of heaven down to the centre,’
where the Judge siltolh on his blazing
throne—to give form and hgure and ut
terance to the mere .circumstantial i
pomp of such a scene, no imagination
availeth. Nor doth the understanding 1
labor less. The arch-angel, with the!
trump of God, riding sublime in the
midst of heaven, & sending through the
wildest dominion of death at.d the grave
that sharp summons which divideth the
solid earth, and rings through the cav
erns of the hollow deep, piercing the
dull cold ear of death and the grave j
will) the knell of their departed reign;
the death of death, the sprouting of the
grave with vitality, the reign of life,
the second birth of living things, the
re union of the body and soul —the one
from unconscious sloop, the other from
apprehensive and unquiet abole—tin
congregation of all generations over
whom the stream of time hath swept —
this outstretches my understundnig no
less than the material imagery con
fuses imagination. And when 1 bring
the picture to my heart, its feelings are
overwhelmed; when 1 fancy thisquck
and conscious frame one instant re
awaked, the next re invested, the next
summoned before the fice of the Al
mighty Judge—now re-begotten, now
sifted through every secret corner
tny poor soul, possessed with the memo
ry of its misdeeds, submitted to the
scorching eye of my Maker —m> fate
depending upon his lips, my everlasting,
Changeless fate—l shrink and -shiver
with moral appn hension. And when
I fancy the myriads of men all standing
thus explored and known, 1 seem to
hear their shiveri gs like the aspen
leaves in the still evening of auturr n.—
sale tear possessed! every countenance
and blank conviction every quaking
heart. They stand like men upon the
edge of battle, withholden from
Speech and pinched for breath through
excess of struggling emotions —shame,
remorse, moral apprehension, and trem
bling ho;>e.
Then the recording arigel openeth the
book of G hJ’s remembrance, arid inqui
sitions pr.-ci-edcth apace. A.n m they
move quicker ihnn the movement of
thought to the right and left, two most
innumerable companies. From his
awful seat, his countenance clothed
w ith the smile which makes all heaven
gay, the Judge pronounce!h blessing for
ever and ever upon the heads ol his
Disciples, and dispenaeth to them a
kingdom prepared by (lod from the
first of time. To their minds, seized
w ith the tidings of unexpected deliver
ance: it seemeth as a dream, and they
wonder wiih ecstacy at the unbounded
love oi their Redeemer. They wonder,
and they speak their 1111 worthiness, bui
they are reassured bv the voice of him
that changed) not. Then joy soizelh
their whole soul, anil assurance of im
mortal h iss. Their trials are ended,
their course is fi lished, the prize is
won, and the crown of eternal life is
laid up lor them in store; and they
hasten io inherit ihe fullness of joy and
pleasures for evermor -, which are at
the right hand of God. Again, the
Judge hfieth up his voice, Ins counte
nance cljthed in that frown which din
dele.iu hell, and ho pronounceth eternal
perdition w ith the devil and his angels,
upon the wretched people who despised
and rejected hiiri on earti:. They re
monstrate, but remonstrance is vain.—
li is iiiiist) a! with hope, it is finished
with mercy ; justice hath begun her
terrible reign, to endure forever. Then
arise from myriads to myriads, the
groans and shrieks and throes of de-|
spair; they invoke every mother ele
ment ot nature to consume their being !
back to her dark womb; they call up
on the. rocks to crush them, and the
j hills to cover them lioin the terrible
presence of the Lord and from his con
’sinning wrath. Such episodes of melt
ing tenderness there will lie at this final
parting of men ! such eternal farewells!
but ah ! tiie world farewell hath forgot
ten its meaning, and wishes of welfare
now are in vain. Anew order of
[tilings hath commenced • the age of

Kate Yale's Marriage-
BY J. T. TROWBRIDGE.
‘lf ever 1 marry,’ Kate Yale used to
say, half in jest, half in earnest —if ever
I marry, th: happy man—or the un
-1 happy one, if you please, ha! ha!
shall be a person possessing these three
qualifications :
‘First, a fortune.’
‘Second, good looks.’
‘And thirdly, common sense.’
‘I mention the frrtune first, because
I think it the most needful and desira
ble qualification of the three. Although
1 could never think of marrying a fool,
or a man whoso ugliness 1 could be
ashamed of still 1 think to talk sense
for the one, and shine for the other with
a plenty of money, would be preferable
to living obscurely with a handsome, in
tellectual nun—to whom economy
might be necessary.
1 donut know how much of this sen
timent came from Kate’s heart. Site
undoubtedly indulged lofty ideas of sta
tion and style—for her education in the
; aims and duties of life had been defi
cient, or rather erroneous, but that she
was capable of deeper, better feelings,
none doubled who have over obtained
even a partial glance of her true wo
man’s nature.
And the time arrived at length, when
Kate was to lake that all important step
of which she had otten spoken so light
ly ; when she was to demonstrate to Imr
friends now much of her heart was in
the words we have quoted :
At the enchanting age of eighteen she
had many suitors; but as she never
gave a serious thought to more than
two, we will follow her example, and
discarding all except those favored
ones, consider their relative claims.
If this were any other than u true
story, 1 should certainly use an artist’s
privilege, and aim to produce an effect
: by making a strong contrast between
1 ihe two favored individuals. It 1 could
have my way, one should he a poor
genius, and somewhat of a hero J the
other a wealthy fool, and somewhat of
a knave.
Hut the truth is—
Our genius was not much of a geni
us, not very poor either, ile was, by
professio i, a teacher ol mu se, and ile
could live very comfortable in the e.x

taut hope, however, of eve.’ attaining to I
wealth. Moreover, Frgpcis Minot ;>os- j
srssed excellent qualities, which enti- j
tied him to be called by discreet elderly j
people, ‘a fine chaster,’ by Ids compan- j
ions a ‘noble good fellow,’ ami by the i
ladies generally, a ‘darling.’
Kate could not help loving Mr. j
Frank, and lie knew it. lie was eer j
tain she prefeied his society even to;
that of Mr. Wellington, whom alone!
he saw (it to honor with the appellation i
of a rival.
This Mr. Wellington (his compan
ions called him till’ ‘duke, ) was no idi
ot or hump hack, as 1 could wished him
to be, in order to make a good story. —;
On the contrary, lie was a man ol good
sense, education, good looks, and line j
manners; and there was nothing of the |
knave about him, as 1 could ever ascer- j
tain.
besides this, his income is sullicieut |
to enable him to live superbly. Also,
lie was considered two or three degrees j
handsomer than Mr. F. Minot.
Tiici. fore, the only thing on which j
Frank had to depend, was the power he j
p issessod over Kite’s sympathies and,
all’ cti ms. The ‘Juke’—although just
the mail tor her in every other sense,!
being blessed with a soi tune, good looks,
and common sense—lmd nev’ur been |
able to draw these out, and the amiable!
conceited Mi. Frank was not willing to!
believe that she would suffer mere
worldly considerations to cont rol the as
pirations of her heart.
However, she said to him one day,
vlien he pressed her to decide his fate—
and she said to him with a sigh—
‘Oh, Frank! { am sorry that wc have
ever met !’
‘S >rry ?’
‘Fes—for we must part now— ’
‘l’art! repealed Frank, turning pale,
j It was evident lie hud not expected
’ ibis.
‘Yes—yes,’ sai 1 Kate, casting down
her eyes with another piteous sigh.
Frank sat by her side, he placed his
arm around her waist, without heeding
her feeble resistance; he lowered Ins
voice, and talked to her until she—the
proud K ito — wept —wept bitterly.
‘Kate,’ said he, then, with a hurst of
i passion, ‘1 know you love me ! Bui i
j you are proud, ambitious, selfish! Now \
! if you would have me to leave you, say
i ihe word, and 1 go !
‘G )! murmured Kate, very freely—
: ‘go !
‘You have decided!’ whispered
i Frank.
J ‘! have !’
j ‘Then, love, farewell!”
ile took her hand, gazed a moment
| tenderly and sorrowfully upon her
! beautiful, tearful face, then clasped her
j to Ins bosom.
She permitted the embrace. She
I even gave way to the impulse, and
I twined her arms about his neck. Hut
| in a moment her resolution came to her
| aid, and she pushed him from her with
| a sigh.
‘Shall ! go V he articulated.
A feeble ‘yes,’ fell from the quiver
ing lips.
And an instant later, sho was lying
upon the sofa sobbing and weeping pas
| sionalely—alone.
To teai the ten icious root of love out
of her heart, had cost her more than
she could have anticipated; and the
certainty of a golden life of* luxury
proved hut a poor consolation, it seemed,
lor the sacrifice she had made.
She lay upon the.sofa, 1 say, sobbing
ami weeping passionately. Gradually
her grief appeared to exhaust itself.—
H r breathing became more regular
and culm. Her tears ceased to {low;
and at length her eyes and cheeks were
dry. Her head was pillowed on her
arm, and iier face was half hidden in a
flood of beautiful curls.
The struggle was over. Tin? agony
was past. She saw Mr. Wellington on.
ii r, and arose cheerfully to receive
him. ilis manners pleased her; his
station and fortune fascinated her
mure, Ife off:red her Ids hand. Sue
accepted it. A kiss sealed the engage
men!—hut it was not such a kiss as
Frank had given her, and she could not
repress a l
The re was a magnificent vveddin".
Splendidly utlired, dazzling the eve
with her beauty thus adorned, with ev
ery thing around lu*r swimming in ihe
charmed atmosphere of fairy.land, Kate
gave her band lo the man her airihitio i,
not her lovr—had chosen !
But certainly ambition could not
have made a hotter choice. Already
she saw herself surrounded by a ma<c
nificent court, of which she was the
acknowledged and admired queen.
The favors of fortune were showered
upon her; sue floated luxuriously upon
the smooth and glassy wave of a charm
ed life.
Nothing was wanting in the whole
circle of tier out waul ex istenc ■, to adorn
it and make it bright with happiness.—
But she was riot long in discovering that
there w s some lung wan ing w t lin her
breast.
1 Jer friend* were imee.-
band tender, kind, and loving ; but all
the attentions and allectionsshe enjoyed
could not fill her heart. She had once
felt its chords of sympathy moved by a
skilful taiieli ; siio had known the
heavenly charm ot their deep delicious
harmony ; and now they were silent—
motionless—inulll’d, so to speak, in
silks and satins. The cords still and
soundless, her heart was dead, none the
less so because it had been killed by a
golden shaft, having known and felt the
1:1’ of sympathy in it, unconsoled liv the
life of luxury. In short, Katie in time
became magnificently miserable, splen
didly unhappy.
Then u change became apparent to

main blind to tlv fact that bis love was
lint returned. He sought the company
ot those whose gayety might lead him
to lorget the sorrow and despair of his
soul. This shallow joke was unsatis
factory, however, and impelled by pow
erful longings for love, lie went astray
to warm his heart by a strange lire.
Katie saw herself now in the midst
of a iioriteous desolation, burning with
thirst unquenchable by golden streams
that flowed around her ; panting with a
hunger not all the food of flattery and
admiration could appease.
She reproached her husband for de
serting hw thus; and he answered with
angry and desperate taunts of decep
tion, and a total luck of love, which
smote her conscience heavily.
‘You do not care For me,’ he cried—
‘then why do you complain that l be
stow elsewhere the affection you have
met with coldness?’
‘But it is wrong, sinful,’ Kate re.
sponded.
‘Ycr, 1 know it !’ said her husband
fiercely, ‘his the evil fruit of an evil
seed. And who sowed that seed' 1
Who gave me a hand without a heart ?-
who became a sharer of my fortune, but
gave me no share in sympathy ?—who
devoted me to the fate of a loving, un
loved husband ? Nay, do not weep,
>1 ud clasp your hands, and sigh and sob
with such desperation of impatience,
lor 1 sty nothing you do not deserve to
hear.’
‘Very well,’said Kate, calming her
self, ‘1 will not say your reproaches are
undeserved. But granting that lam
the c dd, deceitful tiling you call me—
you know mis state of things cannot
continue.’
‘Yes, ! know it.’

Mr. Wellington's brow gathered
darkly; his eyes flushed with determi

‘that we should not live together tiny

trembling.
‘The world will admire you the
same—and what more do you desire?’!
asked her husband, bitterly. ‘This,
marriage of hands, and not of hearts, is;
mockery. We have played the farce
long enough. Few know the conven-)
tio ial meaning of the tem husband and
wife\ but do you know what it should
mean ? Do you feel that the only tr te
union is that of love and sympathy ?
I'lien enough of this mummery. Fare

terms of a separation. Nay, do not |

for I shall he liberal to you. As much
of my fortune shall be yours as you
desire.’
lie pushed her from him. She fell
upon the sofa. From a heart torn with
anguish she shrieked aloud :
‘Frank ! Frank ! why did I send you
from me? Why wus I blind until sight
brought mo misery /’
Sue lay ii|ion tho sofa sobbing and
weeping passionately. Gradually her
grief appeared to exhaust itself; her
breathing became Culm ; her eyes and
cheeks dry Her head Lay peacefully
upon her at in, over which swept her di
shevelled tresses—until, with a start,
she cried,
‘Frank ! oh, Frank! come hack!’
‘Here 1 am,’ said a soft voice by her
side.
She raised her head. She opened
her astonished eyes. Frank was stand
ing before her.
‘You have been asleep.’ lie said, smi- t
ling kindly.
“Asleep ?’
‘And dreaming, too, I should say—
not pleasantly either.’
‘Dreaming ?’ murmured Katie; ‘and
is it all a dream ?’
‘1 hope so,’ replied Frank, taking
her hand. ‘You could not mean to send
me from you so cruelly, I knew ! So I
waited in your father’s study, where 1
I have been talking with him all of an
I hour. 1 came back to plead my cause
: once more, and found you lieie, where I
left you asleep.’
‘Oh, what a horrid dream !’ murmur.
O I Katie ri.l-l-:
,uuy to proll
now to think of it. I thought l was
married !’
‘And would that ha so horrible V—
asked Frank. ‘I hope, then, that you
did not dream von were married to me.’
‘No—l thought dial l gave my hand
without my heurt.’
‘Then if you gave mo your hand it
wottid not be without your heart.’
‘No, Frank,’ said Katie, her bright
eyes beaming happily through her
tears—‘and here it is.’
She placed tier fair hand in his—he
kissed it in t ratispoi t.
Aml soon there was a real marriage;
not a splendid, but a happy one. fol
lowed by a lifoef love and contentment;
and that was the marriage ot Frank
Minot und Katie Yale.
CigatTi and Cognac.
The Treasury tables for die past
year will give us some curious and stri- I
king facts. We are very apt to con- J
sider the great grain-grow ing interest as !
one of paramount importance in this]
country, and no doubt very many will i
be surprised to learn, as they will by !
| Mr. Gortviu’s figures, that we smoke
! up in Havana cigars the whole export j
jot wheut, and drink down in French!
cognac, the entire export of Indian corn. !
In the fiscal year, ending ftOih June i
last, the United Suites exported wheat
to the value of #-2,555,2U!>. During
the same time we imported l(i‘J,s(jy
thousand of cigars from Cuba, valued
j at an invoice cost of $(2,480,759, and
I 149,020 thousand valued #554,918,
! from other ports. Os the latter, two
j thirds were received from the Cause
; towns and Holland, where a large busi
ness is done in imitating the Havana
I cigar with American, or American and
jollier tobacco mixed, and packing them
in boxes made of Cuban cedar for (lie
North European and American rnark
lets. Soma idea may he formed of the
! difference between the Havana ci”ur
I und the Gcnuuu from tiie uverage cost
las slated in the custom returns. Those
from Cuba are returned us costing #14,.
j 53 a thousand, v* Idle the other kinds
are stated at #3,71. These figures
I demonstrate that nearly otie-lmlf of the
I imported cigars retailed in this conn•!
‘try as “Havanas,” are spurious.
To the estimate of the cost of cigurs
I smoked by our population there are yet 1
other items to be added. Tiie entire I
| importation dui iig die last fiscal year I
is shown io have been 319,009 tliou
j sands, costing according to uctnul en 1
I tries at the custom house, #2,985,107. |
If to (Ids we add 9 per cent, for freight, j
i insurance and charges, 40 per cent for
| the duties, we have a sum of #4,358,-
230. To this we may again add 71-8 I
per cent at the least as the importer’s j
probable profits of jobber or second |
dealer, on this 20* per cent fin- retailers’ j
profits, and we liave a sum of over #O,-
000,000 expenditure for an article)
wholly und entirely a luxury, and!
which a portion of our community con- j
sider as immoral, pernicious and uu- J
healthy. Wbut tiie consumption of I
home-made cigars is we have no statis- !
tics at hand to uscei taiu-
The export of Indian corn during the |
‘ same period wus valued at #1,540,225,
| and of meal $->74, tHtl, making together j
■i52,114,005. We have not at hand the 1
table of imports of liquors, but the re-;
turns of the New York custom-house;
slate that that city imported in 1852
French cognac and other brandies to
the value of |l 1,404,0135. Allowing the
New York figures to represent the six
ty per cent, of’the total imports in tha
country, this would give a cost value of
imported brandy of #2,487,101. With
out going into the minute calculations
given above on the cost of cigars, wo
may sately announce that six millions
ofdollurs more are expended in this
country (hr imported brandies. We
are under the impression that some
brandy n and imported is also consumed.
We do not consider it necessary to
continue this parallel further. Tin
facts given above are sufficiently in
struotive. The New York l imes, in
which we find a portion of the above
statistics, says, “that to run the compar
ison ihrougli the provision list, we
should find llial it requires all the hog
ineut, 85,705,470, to supp art our watch
fibs, and that we annually guzzle
more champaigue and port and such
like mixtures of ginpe arid alcohol,
than all our \yt l and butter export, #2,- ,
270,820, will pay fir.”
In the U. S. District Court at New
York on Wednesday, Captain Fitch, of
the steamship Washington, was placed
on trial, charged with smuggling bran
dy and oth* r articles on board that ves
sel, last fall. The penalty is, on con
viction, a fine not exceeding #5,000,
and imp': minent not more than two
years. 1 lie purser and first, mate, also
indicted for the same offence, will he;
put on trial as soon as the captain’s case >
is disposed of. Tnese trials are of a
peculiar character, and excite a good {
deal of interest.

ol temperance ride, are worthy of uIF
admiration, and have been subjects of
pleasing contemplation to your co-ad

irueo to eulogy on tie. Manner, how
well soever deserved. [ dipped my
pen to inform your readers of a recent
visit paid us by our intrepid champion,
I lowlett.
On the Ist day of February, a olourl
’ less sky over-hung njr village, and na-
I lure, every where, wore a cheerful ex.
; peel. Hourly, the rustic Sons ol soil,
were seen issuing from tho adjuvant
country, and wending their eager way
to the place where die orator was to
unfold his theme. The notice of Mr.
j I Fs. intended visit was short, and the
assembly which listened lob:, address
was not so large as was- desirable ; vt
the speech wus heard with lively inter
est ; and it is hoped that germs of good
were deposited in the public mind which
will soon receive ample development.
I’iie audience—sire and matron, maid,
cm ami lad, alike, forgot all other sub.
ject of th mglit and feeling, in the in
j tense excitement of the hour. The
light weapons of keen and dazzling
wit llcw incessantly amid the thunder
ing urtillery of nervous argument,
which shuttered the bulwarks of tho
enemy, as the assault progressed.
Again, at the close of the day, tho
gifted speaker took the field, and with a
martial front that wouldhuve graced a
soldier who hud unsheathed a sabre, at
A-usterlii/. or Jena, arrayed his strength
in defence of legislusivu “intervention,”
between the destroyer uni his prey.—
Ilis strokes now, were more than ever
forceful—bis ponderous falchion cleav
ing lor him, a broad uvenno to the very
centre of the adversary’s battle; and
if the veteran ‘prince’ wus not annihi
lated, u perceptible recoil pervaded his
host, in short, conviction of tiio ira.

coholic slimulutits us a beverage, was
fixed in tho minds of his auditory, and
the courugo, the hope, and the zeal of
tlie advocates of teuipoiunce, received
a fine impulse- We urn sanguine that
the approaching demonstration at At

i A Singular Cash of Hydrophobia-
j—Mr. Martin of this county, informs
1 us of a singular development of this dis
j ease. About three mouths ago, a fa
jvorite mure of his was bitten by a dog
supposed to he mad. The infliction of
the bi;e was seen by one of tile servants
and a neighbor, but nothing more win*
; thought ot it, and Mr. Martin was nut
informed of tho circumstances. Tho
i bile was upon the lips of the upper and
lower jaw, on tho b it side of the head.
From that time up to a few days ago
she seemed well as usual, except
a slight festering m tho wounded pluoo.
j A few days before symptons of mad.
ness presented themselves, sho had
been ridden by Mr. Martin, and then
seemed to he in excellent spirits and
health. When she first begun to
velop Iter ill-iieulih, lie put her ill a
pound or lot, and then learned
i that she had been bitten at the time
stated. .She remained in the lost sev
eral days befoie she died, and in the
meantime the paroxysms ol madness
were terrible. She lore off, on the fence
and through, the whole side of her face
which hurt received the wound and tore
and hit off the flesh from her hones in’
! every part of her body that could ■he
reached- She died in horrible ugonies.
For several days she would take no
nourishment, uud being a favorite, line’
owner was unwilling to kit. her.—Si.
