From my earliest youth I was taught the doctrine that the dead are not res urrected until the cousumatiou of all things. Then will the angel of the Txird proclaith in clarion voice from the eagt to the west, and from the north to the south, that time is,. and time was, but time shall be no more ; 1 hat the graves will open, and the dead come forth to be judged. This doctrine, 1 repeat, impressed me with a feeling of horror. I have listened with great iu terest to arguments pro auo con upon this subject, and never would I a low my mind to entertain for an instam a suggestion of its truth, until a few nights siuic I wap convinced by oeeqlar demonstration that it Was indeed a ti n h, fearful and abhorrent though i is to the feelings of a large proportion, if not a 1 the children of men. Last Wednesday after tea, my fiiend, A. lb Livingston, who is a resident of Tuscaloosa, a city of our sister State Alabama, and myself took a stroll through the city, over the hills that sentinel-like, stand guard over this city. The moon ever and anon emerged from behind a veil of clouds that obscured it for a moment, casls its bright shadows on every side. We continued our walk, occasionally pausing on the brow of a b it to glance admiringly down ;lie val b*y so greatly enhanced in beamy by the quiet, sheen glittering rays of the fair mistress of the night. “.By my soul !”exclaimed Livingston, ns wo hailed before the gates of Rose Hiii,"how carelessly we have con inued our stroll, for here we are at the gates of this city of the dead, without having observed that, our walk was leading us to (his silent city.” “Shall wo enter ?” I asked. “By all means. I, for one, have no superstitious fears of grave yards alter sunset,” he replied. A feel’ng of awe possessed me as I walked beside my light-hearted fiioud down the winding avenues. The melan choly stillness which pervaded thisqui et city, impressed my friend as Will as myself, for I had observed for several minutes he had walked on in silence. At length we paused in the ravine where the rippling water which flows from Crystal Spring into the Ocmulgee. “Here I intend to rest for a while,” reUiarkod Liyingston, reclining upou a ^♦ustic seat. I too sat down, and after a few mo mentis the heavy breathing of my friend indicated that he was far away in dream land. For more than half an hour I name after name was called ; some of them 1 had known in life; yea, I even distinguished the well-known voiocs of loved and lost ones as they answored, for He, who is our Savior, King, did He not lay three days in the oold,dauip walls of the grave ? If He f ho was without sin, unspotted from the world and its influences, passed through the purification of the grave, how loug should we, who are born in sin, wait, for our resurrection ? Let us, then, re joice m the goodness of our Lord, for He daeth all things well. The time is coming, the day nor the hpur we know not, but ••here,” to this dreadful roll call. I heard these words of the cup- tain of the host us he addressed them : rAllies FOR SALE. “Friends ! once more we are permit- contnct. in which Mrs New York, March 24.—A coroner’s inquest regarding a baby thought to have been poisoned, led to a queer rev elation. The coroner found that the baby was the adopted child of Mrs Pardo. Mrs. Pardo told him a curious story of traffic in babies. . Several, months ago. she said, she bought a baby from Mrs. Poise, of 59 Hullivan street, for $5. She found the child was not healthy, and returned it to Mrs. Pose at the same time saying she was willing to pay 910 for a healthy, b’ack eyed girl haoy. Mrs. Pose promised to find her cue, and on October 30th slowed her another child. It suited Mrs. Pardo, and she guvo Mrs. Han nah Hayward, who represented herse'f as the mother of the child, #10. She got in return the bahv, a receipt and a Hayward re- MASONIC TEMPLE. Augusta, Cr» Souther n Headquarters I or Fine Dry Goods.

The wheel of time has brought round again our annual reunion. How mauy new faces of the children of men I see among us who were not with us at this hour twelve months ago.

But we must not murmur at our imprisonment in our narrow earthly' cells, it will surely come. Then we will throw aside these eyidences of hu manity to be clad in snowy vestments and stand face to face before our King. Then these years of waiting and watch ing will be forgotten in the happiness of a bright immortality.” The voice became silent, and slow y I saw the multitude pass on, each mo ment its numbers decreasing.

Two weeks ago, Wednesday, a colored girl named Sarah came to the house, and was engaged as a servant.— She warned Sarah against Mr. Pose, but afterwards suspecied that the girl was iu Mrs Pose’s employ. On Mon day last, after eating some crackers, condensed milk and beef tea, the child sickened. Surali broke a show case 1 that night and left the house.

We sat near each other during the few remaining hours of darkness. Awe inexpressible took possession of our souls.

The weight, size and color are the same as those of the genuine, and when drop ped on hard wood it has the same ring. •There is only one way to detect the difference. The ear of the Goddess ol Liberty is larger on the counterfeit than on the genuine coin. By rubbing one’s hand over the face of the woinau the big oar can be readiiy felt.
