MY WIFE. I held her, laughing in mv arms, A hlne ejfd child with curls of gold ; She stroked my boyish cheek und said : '•I’ll marry yon when 1 am old.” We met ags’n. Those pretty locks Were eomhed nod bnnr.d whont her head. A little school girl. <-taid and shy ; "He must not romp with me," she said. A few venrs more, and then I found A blooming maiden, sweet seventeen. Few were her words and cov her looks ; And yet she loved me well, I ween. Long did I woo ’mid hope anil ftar ; My Indy was not lightly won ; She hid her love and thought it shame ; At last my welcome task was done. I held her, blushing in my arms ; Aid then my bashful prize I told How she had promised long ago She’d marry me whence was old. The blissful days sped quickly on. And 1 hud pledged her with a ring. But ah! so much too large it proved I My love wns such a tiny thing. But jet she would rot have it changed. Though from her baud it oft would slip ; An evil omen. I w< uld sny, While she but laughed with joyous lip. I left my darling for a space, As neater dri w the wedding day ; "One little week,” J said, "and then 1 never more need go away.” 1 left her healthy, blooming, bright, The rosy rolor in her cheek— I can e to find her wan and white ; Alas! thut fatal ‘‘tittle weak.” ‘ 0. fell disruse. now stay thy hand, And leave me nil 1 love in life!” Id vain I ctied, the touch of death Was on her, 0 ! my promised wife I 1 I eld her, dying in my arms ; The ring tell Irom her finger cold ; Wtaping, l took it ; and she breathed : “I'll utHtty yen wh»u I urn old.” She knew not what she said, poor child ; Gone from her was bright reason’s ray— But still 1 keep that ring and wait For an eternal wedding day. How tli«* Apostles l)icil. Mr Editor:— ln the last issue of your paper I read a piece entitled us above, which relates to the death of, and how each of the apostles died. That piece not only gives a coriect account of how they dad, but calls to memory the cense of their death, by wlont they were put to death, as well as the retentive which actuated their murderers to dp the act ; and as these things are thus suggested to my mind, 1 hope you will allow nie space in your paper to give my ideas thereof: The first iiqniry Is. how did they die? As was correctly stated in your paper, most all of them were put to death in a cruel manner. Themxt qnrstion is, who put them to death, and what wns their offense? In rending the Holy Scriptures we find that tie Scribes and Pharisees were wofully offended by them, and (’hrist their leader. All hypocrites were offended by them. And the whole ptiestltood were terribly offended by them, because (Jhiist Jtsus came to fulfill their office and to strip them of their priestly power and dignity, und to destroy their lordship over God's people, und to spoil their eralt, by whieh they were gaining the hard earnings of honest, unsuspecting peo pie, and in whieh they had turned the House ol Hod front a house of prayer into a den of thieves—paying their way in good words aud fair speeches ; and whose God was their belly, trafficking in sacred things, at d making mi rchattdiea of religion—those who unde long prayers to be seen and heard of men, and even garnished the sepulchres of the prophets, who had already been murdered by just such people. The Jews wtre strongly opposed to both Christ and bis apostles, and weie z< itlons for the observance of their laws nod customs, and had by their traditions destroyed the ef- Itct of the law ol Got), teaching for doctrine the commandments of men instead of the commandments ol God. 'I he Jews held to a great many rnrnnl ordinances and legal ceremonies ; and cir cumcision was the door into their church. When they had come under that ordinance, and had been circumcised, they were held bound to observe and keep the whole law. But Christ and bis apostles instead of ob serving those things und attaching particular importance to circumcision of the flesh, were for going deeper, and taught them that he was not a Jew who was oue outwardly, but he who was one inwardly—whose circumci sion was ol the heart and not of the flesh. We observe that the Jews were much attached to those ordinances and outward forms; but Christ and his apostles taught them that they were corrupt Irom the crown of tbeir head to the sole ol their feet • that they were dead in trespasses and in sins ; that the tree must be made good before the fruit could be good,' aud iu order to this change they must die to sin before they could be made alive unto God. or that the soul is not qnickened except it dies. Tit is did not suit the Jews, for they pieferred to hold od to outward rites for salvation, and tbi« diflerenee brought about hostility in the tuinds und hearts of the Jews, which caused the death of Christ aud the apostles "See, brother Saul, how many thousand of Jews tUat believe, and they are ull z alous of the law Acts, xxi : 17. 18. Which law was incuts, drinks and divers baptisms. Ibe apostles told them that if salvation was by the works of the law, then it was oo more of grace; or if of grace, then no more ol works. It hud to be one or the other, for they could Dot bold to both This did not suit tbeJews. Christ himself said, 1 came not to destroy the law nor the ptophets, Gut to fulfill them, thut heaven and earth might puss away ; but oue jot nor one tittle should not pass away until all be fulfilled, und that be himself was the end ot the law lor right eousness to all that believer! ; that all true saiuts were complete in him,and that none e! t- ese outward rites, circumcision and ordinances, were binding on bis church ; but XjlltHrdy Wight ’exists"m Fans; he tfoay ot? r»c So w let ns nex* consider the all important question, viz: "Are no not the successors of this same c'a c s of people that put to death Christ sod the apostles, and are we no' prao licing the same things which they k■lied t’hrist and the nposth s for combm; iug ?” I apprehend we are. We have adopted water baptism in ph«ce of the J<-wi b e inti incision, and make it the d' or into the church. But Paul exphiins what should tnk' the place of cirenrr.elsic.n, nod snvs it should be n cbcltm eised heart, not a water baptism Ad it also rolls Christ of the honor of in inp the door into his own church, when he si vs. “| am the door.” Then comes the ordinance of the am rament, to which we attach some im portuccp, and insist tln.t it was institut'd by Christ at (he bast of the pas-over. But, by searching I lie Scriptures, we find that it was no ordinance practic'd long before Christ came, am! in engaging in that, Christ, true to his word, was fulfilling another of tho-e ordinance A’d we h.ive but to di css the difference in instituting a thing arid of fulfil ing it to see that he mi rely fulfilled an ordi nattee which shell'd then have cams to an end. The Jews could properly eat the bread and drink the wine discerning Ins death un til he came ; but it is impossible for n-> to do so now. since lie has already come and ful fill' d it, leaving it with the rest of abrogated rites. The administration of those ordinances was the craft hy which the priesthood main tained their dignity and power, and thus made their living. And if thosr ordinances were bindi> g in this day there would be no one to administer them, for there arc no priests nt this t me, the priestly ' Rice having been abrogated. Christ Jesus is priest, prophet rind king of his church. The sect ministers of this day may prac tice those ordinances and try to perpetuate these same ci remonies from Pie same avari cious motives, uk it gives them dignity over others of their creed, and thereby they com mand big salaries and much filihy lucre ; and if you lay down the ordinances you weaken their power and importance— hence, do away with salaries,and we might see verified the truth that if you stop the pay you stop the gospel thus purchased. And whoever should ui det take that would, at the bands of sa urieii ministers, receive us near as po s.b ! e the buuie Iteatment given the apostles. 11 T. Dickrn. Edwin Booth im London. —The most important and interesting theatrical news that has reached it* in many a day is the news that F.dwin Booth intends to act in London, and that negotiations are'even now in progress, between Henry Irving and himself, with a to his appearance in that e tv. F.dwin Booth is our greatest tragedian. He is in the prime of life; he has been thirty years an actor ; his name is associated wiih some of the noblest dn matic nndertokings that ever were attemp ted ; he has been of incalculable benefit to the stage, iquail? by his pure life, high prneipled conduct, dignity, integrity and rare genius; be never has had an equal, on the American stage, in "Hamlet” or in “Richelieu ;" he stands alone in those char acters which are colored with romantic weirdness, und of which the central attrib nte is spiritual pathos ; he has been accepted irt a larger repertory of great characters than any contemporary uctor has ever at tempted ; and he is a better actor to-day than at any previous period of his lile. Kdwin Booth on the London stage, ac cordingly, will be a very prominent mid significant figure—for he will illustrate to the British public not alone his own genius and accomplishments, but the condition of American taste and scholarship with refer ence to the drama in its highest brunches. That public has already seen our greatest comedian, Jiffcson, and has awarded to him evi n a higher rank than was claimed for hint here—not hesita ting to name him with the best urii-ta of the best school in France. When it bos seen Kdwin Booth it will fully understand to what a degre of excellence the art of acting has been in the New World. Mr. Booth will go over nc*t spring, and it is not unlikely that Mr. Irving, a little later in the same year, will make his long-contem plated visit to America. A Fam' ns Cruiser Sunk - The one time Confederate steamer Shenandoah has been sunk in the Indian ocean, off Socotra, nearly ull the crew going down with the vessel, which, at the time of the disaster, was the property of the Saltan of Ziozibar. The Shenandoah was built ut Glasgow i» 1863, nominally for the China trade, and was launched under the name of the Sea King. In 1864. i fl Madeira, she was transferred to the Confederate service, under command of Captain James Iredell Waddell, who changed her name to Shenandoah, and immediately started her upon her famous ciU'se, which lasted thirteen months, endutg iu August, 1865. loug ufttr the war was over. In this cruise the Shenandoah sailed 58.000 miles, a fourth of ttie time among icebergs, captured thirty-eight vessels aid destroyed property valu'd ut over 86.000 000 The Shenan doah visited ull the oceans except the Ant arctic, never lost a chase nor met with an nceide.it. When he reached Liver; 00l Cap tain Waddell turned his vessel over to the British Government aud landed. Captain Waddell returned home and entered the Pa cific Mail service, where his conduct lust year, on occasion of the wreck ot bis steam er, wou high encomiums. Tub Sai.k or Mammoth Cave. —A com pauy of Kastern capitalists purchased the Mammoth Cave on Saturday, and will pro ceed at once to put it iu the best possible condition to utuk** its great wonders accessi ble to be seen under the best conditions, the railroad from Glasgow Junction will be completed to ibe cave, tlie botel und sur roundings put in the finest order, the entrance to the cave mnde convenient, the routes made easy aud secure, and sueh other facilities for thorough exploration as will make a trip through it a matter of pleasure, instead of a pilgrimage of penance as htretolore. The price paid was 8200 000, much less than its value to its purchasers, aud much more than its value under the old mauagedlfoot. I hrough Yankee vtiu uuJ jaukeee skill it will probably prove a source ol immense rev euue to its present owuers. WVM, f nT* , Oil Utc I u Uuj .10*1.af.lvf ! f ISS : GLD AND RELIABLE. ! IDli.
