In the starry night we vainly call, On the dear onoa gone bofore, Our mournful cries on closed eats fall, We hear no voice from the silent shore. But, silently, sadly, our tears aud pain, Are crushed to the bleeding heart again. Still, as in joyous days of yore, We watch for a hand to clasp our own, And list from the echoic**, pathless shore, For the soft music of a missing tone. We watch for stray gleams from J’aradisc, For the tender light in beautiful eyes. We know their eyes are radient now, With joy divine, forever bright, We know a starry crotJfi upon each brow Sheds dazzling glory of eternal light, We know for them all tears are wiped away, Their gloomy night has closed in endless day. Father! when for us lifo’s troubled story, Fere’er on eaith shall close, Darkening the noon-tide glory, In the deep gloom of death’s repose, In Heaven oh 1 may we test forevermore At Jesus’ feet, with the dear ones gone be fore. Zayua. Sunday afternoon, April 18>h, 1869. For the Dawson “Journal.” “What is Halt ?” I!Y JAMES W. PRICK, M. D. This question was propounded eight een hundred years ugo, by one of the most profound Christian philosophers which bus ever lived since the world begun. His mind wus the great store house of knowledge, and the laborato ry of intellectual grandeur and heauty. lie dwelt and moved olten in the very presenie of God, and draukderp from the fountains of knowledge that emina" ted from the pure streams of inexhaust less love. YY-t, with till of these ad vantages, w hen silently cuitemplnling, amid the beauties of creation around him, and the grandeurs of the starry heavens abovo him, lie stops to inquire of the mystery ol bis own being, and asks “what is man ?” A creature most “fearfully and wonderfully made.” Emulating from a divine origin, *aud destined lor an eternal duration. How grand and sublime to contemplate a being of such infinite capacities!— Though fallen, yet possessing an im press of ihe Eternal, who spoke him into existence, and made him <l l of this lower world Indeed, be is a being made but little lower than the angels. Yet, David, with all of his vivid con ceptions of bureau uature, and of Lis boundloss store-house of knowledge, together with his near affinity to God himself, saw at a glance, that fallen einbicile man, could not answ-er a ques tion so full of mystery and iimnort ality If this inspired man of God, with all ol his knowledge anti bright coneep ti ms of the Eternal himself, approach ing often times almost into the very presence of Jehovah, while reposing in “green pastures, and quenching his thirst from the very fountains of God's boundless etore house of love, could not solve this problem, how it is pos-i --ble that short sighted, erring mortal man, can describe the j resent or future destination of such a being, unless guitied by reason and Ihe illuminating influences of Kevelation i 1 Alan is a compound being ! lie possesses two separate aud distinct na tures, conjoined in one body, which constitutes him au organization, most “fearfully and wonderfully made.” A Lame magnificently arranged, C'm*< posed ol more than 2(/0 bones, held together with ligamen’s of immense power, porsessing such strength, that to separate them would almost be an impossibility. This curiously wrought frame is covered with some 500 mus cles, which constitutes our flesh, giving motion, in part to tiro whole machine, upon the principle of contract lity.— In the mechanism of man, the variety of movements ho is culled to pertorm, requires a corresponding variety of cot responding parts, and the different bones of the system are so adapted to each other that they admit of various and numerous motions, without w liich wo could not be enabled to move ei ther forwards or backwards, utterly disqualifying us for the duties ol life. I might tire the patience of my rea ders by any further description of mail’s physiological being. This part of his organization is doomed to decay —the frame-work of which I have giv en you some limited outlines, must, iu a short space of time, bo taken down by the Great Master and sio’ed away in.tr o diurnal In use of ti'encc. I have endeavored to impress upon the minds of my readers what man is, as a living, moving being; anti next, shall attempt ! t„ deseiibe that spark— indescribable (indefinable eternal essence, which ! constitutes the man—called the SOUL. What is a soill 1 V\ bo cun detiuo ■it ? We are often carried off by the graphic descriptions of pulpit orators ' m relation to the hoirors of a lost soul in the dark dungeons of eternal dirt— pair ! Then again in the most mag nificent flights of fancy, with extasy beaming upon his countenance, the nvnistcr transports his hearers to the elysean fields of gloty and grandeur— and depicts a soul backing in the re splendent glories of the Paradise of God. Still hj| hearers are ignorant of what constitutes this mysterious subtle fluid, or spirit, of which he has so elo quently discoursed. And if asked, he would simply reply, the sonl. And hero, the curtuin falls, and a dark un certainty settles down like the pall of death. What part of the human body does this eternal principle occupy ? Dr. Fitch says, “in the brain, resides that inscrutable and awful being the human soul. The eye does not see, the ear does not hear, all the senses are only means and instruments that convey knowledge to the soul. The soul is imprisoned in this dark chamber. Its food is knowledge; no man can explain —no man can comprehend it. It is an I emulation from the Most High ; and in j contiol, holds the same relation to man’s body, that the Almighty does to it. Imprisoned noyv, it win one day 'eave its prison-house, and wing its way to immortality.” This idea, in port, is doubtless true, so far as the soul’s being an “emina tion from the Most High but as to locating it in Ihe brain is mere conjec ture without the shadow of reason to sustain such a position. The only light which can be obtained in relation to what constitutes a human soul, may bo obtained from divine reveluti n, the only source of true know ledge. If we refer back to the history of the crea tion of rnan, it emphatically declares that “God breathed into man the breath of life, anu ho became a lining soul.” — In connection with this, in another pari of the divine authority, ii says, the “du t sbal return Lube i nrth ai it was and the soul to God who gave it.”— From these passages, and the connec tion, we can come to no other conclu sion than the soul is the breath of the Almi e hty, and consequently indestruct ible and eternal in its duration iu hell or heaven. Then, it is abavo all other subjects which was ever known to eaith. In hours of contemplation, when man stops to dwell upon i;, and links it on to eternity, with his responsibilities be yond ihe grave, he shrinks back from the thought, his bosom swells wi'h anx iety, rind he is ready to exclaim, “Oh, wretched man that I am, who shnll de liver me from this body of sin and death ? ’ This is a chord which v - brutes and sends a thrill to the deepest recesses of the human heart. Well may we feel solemn as wo approach tho confines of tho dark future, and the veil which intervenes between us and the spirit land. I admit tho exist ence of the soul—that ever-living, and undying spark in every man’ff'bos oml Who cun describe its capacity for enjoyment or suffering? Who can give it bounds or follow it in its flights as it leaps out from time and plunge* into ttie fathomless waves of the dark ocean of eternity l Who van tiring us tidings of its linui destination ? Its value, who can tell? Philosophy will never bo able to solve this problem ; or answer to the sail faction of fiuite brings, a question of such vast dimen sions and fearful iinjMirt! God I who dwells in the immensity ol space, will never dispatch au angel from the abodes of the skies, lor the purpose of grutilying trail upun this subject. His great scheme of redemption has been given to the world through the gift of Ills Boti, who died, that “life and irn mortality might be brought to light ill the Gospel, und iu that Gosjxd a full aud free redenq t on from eternal death may be secured. DaWion, May, 18G9. Irishman and Fiddle—An Irish man, juat cotnc to this country, had j never seen a fiddle. A man came into the hotel with one under his arm. He soon begun to tuno it up. (Juc of the screws slipped, and be spit upon it to make it hold, uud l lieu begau to draw the bow. The Irishman, who w s watching him, could stand it do longi r, hut bolted across tho street, into anolbtr hotel, exclaia-iug: “l thought this was a land of liboity aud*lrctdouj, Lutthedivil take such a land, where ye abuse the poor childcrso bad.” Landlord. —Who is abusing the uhil dreu ? Irishman.—Why, a man came iuto the. tavern just now, with a little boy un der his arm, and be begau to torment the dear little crathur.-. Firs*, he begau to pull and twist his cars, then, to provoke him more, be spit to his face, aud tbeu he a briar across his belly, and Holy Virgin, how he did suratue! Dr. J. Emmett Blacks!ire has be< n appointed Grand Secretary of the j Grand Lodge iu Georgia, ia place o f Simri Bose, deceased. YOL. IV. —NO. 12. Built Him a Fine — Ferrin, the landlord of the Westminster Ho tel in Nt w York, is not often non plussed, but last August, a dapper lit t'e Frenchman s’aggered him for * moment. Walking up to the office, be accosted Ferrin with : ‘lf you please, Monsieur, you shall send bill tie fire in my room !” “A what?” said Ferrin, looking nt the thermometer which indicated 32 degi ecs. | "1 w ish de lull do fire in my apart ment,” repeated the Frenchman. I “All right, sir,” said Ferrin, with that outward imperturbability with i which the true hotel-keeper receives an order for anything, if it be gotd dnsi pudding with diamond plums.— ‘ John, fire in ten thousand and one,” i “ Yes, sj/r-r-j’,” said John, find by the time the Frenchman hail arrived at his room, John, with perspiration pouring oft him, had the grate filled and a j blu7.e roaring np the chimney like mad. j “Vut ze (liable you do ?” said the astonished foreigner. j “Built a fire, sir, as ye ordered,” re plied the other exile. | “Fire, be tarn,” said the Frenchman, i“I shall roast myself wizze heat,” and i rushing down s'airs he appeared at tbo ! office w ith inflamed face and moistened shirt collar, exclaiming: “I ask you not for ze fire; what think I wish to make myself more hot, e h? 1 call for hill do tiro—ze bill, 7,e carte, so 1 cao I eat mysell wiz my dinaro.” “Bill of fare, uh, yes, sir,” said* Fer rin, ‘ I bog your pardon,” and be po litely passed out the programme for tbo day, but deputed one of the gar cons of the restaurant to ansfier any further orders from the subject of Na poleon. Served Him Right. A few days ago a Gaptain Harrison, the agent of the Fr odium's Bureau at ycottsville, Yirgiuia, called to Char lottesville by business, was dining at one cf the hotels in that o v J A young lady, ooe of the heroines of the war, wloso name wo omit, having scrutinised tho Captain for a moment, a.ose from her seat deliberately, and upproachod him with the tread ot a woman who was not afraid who knew her honest “rights and dared maintain them.” Baid the lady, with a stamp of her beautiful foot, which subdued the Yan kee Captain atonec: “I» this Captain Harrison,of the Yan koo army ?” The Captain stammered out that it was—“ Yes.” “Well, fir, yen have r watch and a chain on your person that belongs to mo. You to ik it lfam me during the war by force, threats and violence. Now I want .t back again.” With .hese bold remarks sbe accom pat i’d the same with a dexterous move ment of her hands, and the gold watch and chain, valutd vt two hundred dol lars, was removed from the bosom of the CapraiD, aud transferred to the right lul fema ! e owner. Tho v. n |ui.-hed C-rptain bowed, re tired from the table an l left the hotel aud the ciiy of Charlottesville. An agricultural paper recommends to ladies to take a large-sized pumpkin ncod carefully cut out the meat on tho under s de, put a narrow strip of fur arouud the edge, and fasten the strings to tho sides, atidjtbcy will have a bonnet in the pink of fashion.
