    THE DAILY EVENING TELKGHAPn.-i-PIIILADELPIIIA, SATURDAY, MAY 19, I860.
A wild, wrt night ! The riming ulc-H 1
Blurs all the lamp Rlon, the quay; ' -The
windows sbnke; the bnxy atrcel
Is yrt alive with hurrying feet, '
The winds rave from tiie oca !
f O lPt it rave J Kj lamp burns bricht;
My long day's work is almost done;
I ci rtain out each pound and slplit
Of All the nights in the year, to-nlpht s
I choose to be alone.
Alone, with doors and windows foal,
Hcfore mj open desk I stand.
Alas I can twelve ioiir months b past,
My hidden, hidden wealth, pince lat
I held thec In my hand ?
So there it lies ! From year to year
I see the ribbon cbanpe: the pape
Turn yellower; and the very tear
That blots the writinsr, disappear
And lade aay with ae 1
lline eyes prow dim hen tbey behold
The preeious trilles hoanffd'theri;
A rin of battered Indian gold,
A wirhered harebell, and a lold
01 sunny chesnut hair.
Nol all the riches of the earth,
Not all the treasures of the tea,
Could buy these house-gods from my hearth;
And yet the seGret of their worth
Must live and die with me. '
Trie Lnht Honrs of Stonewall Jackson.
The May number of the Richmond MnUcal
Journal t'lves a deeply intereitiog account, Irom
the pen ul l)r. McO'mre, of the wound, (imputa
tion of the arm, aud hut moments ot (Jcneral
Stonewall Juekson. The battle of Chaucellors
villo was toueht on the 21 and 3d of May, 1m6.1.
It was on the nijrht ot the !2d that the dreadful
accident (General Jack; on having received his
wound at the hands ot kit own men) occurred,
which was the tiiminir. point in the fortunes of
the Con tellurite v. We append the closinc sccue:
About 1 o'clock Thursday morning, while 1
was ufilerp upon a lounge in his room, be
directed bis servant Jim to apply a wet towel to
his stomach, to relieve au attack of nausea
Tfc'ith which he was ajiaiu troubled. The servant
wsked permission to lirst consult me, but the
General knowing that I had slept none for
nearly three nifrhts, refused to allow the servant
' to dint tub me, and demanded the towel. About
daylight I was aroused, and found him sufiering
with preat pain.
An examination disclosed pleuro-pneumonla
of the right fdde. I believed, and the consulting
physician concurred in the opinion, that it was
attributable to the fall Irom the litter tho night
he was wounded. The (Jencral htmself referred
it to this accident. I thins the disease came on
too soon after the application of the wet cloths
to admit of the supposition, ouce believed, that
it was induced by them. The nausea, for which
the cloths were applied that night, may have
teen the result ot inllammation already begun.
Contusion of the lung, with extravasation of
blood in his chest, was probably produced byline
fall referred to, and the shock and Ions of blood
prevented any ill ellects until reaction had been
well established, and then imiammation ensued.
Cups were applied, audjmercury, with antimony
and opium, administered. Towards the evening
he became better, and hopes were again enter
tained ol his recovery. Mrs. Jackson arrived
to-day and nursed him faithfully to the end.
She was a devoted wife and earnest Christian,
and endeared us all to Ler by her great kindness
and gentleness.
The General's joy at the presence of his wife
and child was verv great, and lor him unusually
demonstrative. Noticing the sadness ot his
wife, he said to her tenderly, "I know you would
gladly give your life for me, but I am perfectly
resigned. Do not be sad ; I hope I may yet re
cover. Pray lor me, but always reraemuer in
your prayers to use the petition, 'Thy will be
done.'
Friday his wounds were aain dressed, and
although the quantity of the dischaiga from
them had diminished, the process ot healing
was still going on. The pain in his side had dis
appeared, but he breathed with difficulty, and
complained of a feeling ot great exhaustion.
When Dr. Breckinridge, who, with Dr. Smith,
hau been sent for in consultation, said he hoped
that a blister which had been aoplicd would
anord him relict, ho expressed his own confi
dence in it, aud his final recovery.
Dr. Ti'cker, from Richmond, arrived on Satur
day, and all that human skill could devise was
dune to stay the hand ot death. He sull'ered no
pain, and his breathing was less tliilicult, but he
was evidently hourly growing weaker, i
When his child was broucht to him he played
with it lor some time, frequently caressing it,
and callins it his "little comforter." At ' one
time he raised his wouuded hand above its head,
and, closin? his eyes, was tor some moments
cniraged in prayer, lie gaid to me, "I see, from
the number of pn.ysicians, that you think my
condition daugerous; but I thank Cod, if it is
IDs will, that i am ready to go."
About daylight on Sunday morning Mrs.
Jackson informed him that his recovery was
very doubtful, and it was better that he should
be prepared tor tho worst. He was silent for a
moment, and then said, '-It will bo lutinite gain
to be translated to Heaven." He advised his
wife, in the event of his death, to return to her
father's house, and added, "You have a kind
and good lather, but there is no one so kind and
good atj your Heavenly Father."
He etiil expressed a hope of his recovery, but
requested her, it ho should die, to have him
buried in Lexington, in the Valley of Virginia.
His exhaustion increased so rapidly thaCat 11
o'clock, Mrs. Jackson knelt oy his bed, aud told
him that before the sun went down he would be
with his Saviour. He replied, "Oh, no, you are
frightened, my child, deth is not so near; I may
yet get well." She teil over upon the bed,
weeping bitterly, aud told him again that the
physicians aid there was no hope.
Alter a moment's pause he asked her to call
me. "Doctor, Anna informs me that you have
told her that 1 am to die to-day; is it sb?" When
he was answered, he turned his eyes towards the
ceiling, and ea.ed lor a moment or two. as if in
Intense thought, then replied. Very good, very
good: it is all rlebt." lie then tried to comfort
his almost heart broken wile, and told h-r he
had a good deal to say to her, but he was too
weak.
Colonel Tendleton came into the room about
one o'clock, ami he aeked him, "Who was
preaching at headquarters to-dav V When told
l.n K .. Iw.l,. .... .. .. .
.utii. nit i uuic niuijr m praying lor Dim, lift i(
replied, "Thank (iod thev re very kind." He j
said : "It is the Lord's' Day; my wish is ful- "
mieu. i nave always desired to die on Sunday."
His mind now began to tail aud wander, and
he frequently talked as it in command upon the
Held, giviiui orders in his old way; then the
scene Bhifted, and he was at the mess-table, in
converration with members of his start; now
with his ife and child, now at prayers with his
military family.
Occasional intervals of return of his mind
would appear, and during one of them, I offered
him some brandy-and-water, but he declined it,
ftajine, "It will only delay mv departure, and do
no good; I want to preserve my mind, it pos
sible, to the last." About h:ilf-pant one he was
Told that he had but two hours to liv, and be
answered funiii, feebly, but firmly, " Very good;
It Is all right."
A few moments before lie died, he cried out in
hie duHriuui, "Order A. 1'. Hill to prepare for
action I pass the intantry to the front rapidly!
tell Major Hawks" then flopped, leaving the
sentfuce unfinished. Presently, a smilo of in
e liable sweetness ispread itsell over hli pule face,
and he said quietly, and with an tixpressiou as
it of relief. "Let us cross over the river, and rei't
under the shade of the trees;" and then, without
pain, it the least struggle, his spirit passed from
earth to the Cod who gave it.
Ever of Thee. ;
A sad story i connected with the nania of the
writer of the beautiful con?, "Kver of Thee,"
which has been sung and admired by bo many
in this country and in Kurope.
Foley Hall was a gentleman by birth and edu
ration. Wealthy In his own right, witU largo
expectations, ho led a deedb-ss life, not cboosiug
his a?ociates, but allowing himself to be drawn
into the society of the vicious. Ills property
toon disappeared, and he was left without re
source s sufficient to buy his daily bread. His
musical talents had been hithiv cultivated, but
as ha never needed them he scarcely knew to
what deeree thev could be made available. In
Ms di'tress, howrver, he wro'e this charming
tone, "Ever of Thee." A London publisher gave
him one hundred dollars for it, but that amount
with such a spendthrift would not last long. Ha
wrote other sorgs, but the money not coming a
Inst as he wished, in a weak moment he loracd
th name of his publisher, and although evry
effort was mndc (even by the publisher) to cave
him, it was all no use, aiid poor Foley Hall went
to Newgate, and died broken-hearted befort! hW
trial came on.

Religious Matters. St. Luke's P. E.
Church On Inst Hunday the Rev. M. A. De
Wolfe Howe, D. D., entered upon the t vent v
first year ol his ministrations at reet-ir of this
church. In his mornliig's discourse he took
occasion to levicw the history ot St. Luke's,
from its organization to the present time. He
referred to its mission church, in Lombard
street, above Kleventh. and taid thai this
church would soon be self supporting.
Lie also spoke or the gratifying success
attending the parochial school, the Wl low's
Home, the Puuday schools and oilier
charities connected with the Church. Since
Dr. Howe has been mimsttring at tit.
Lukc'p, the sum of $13.1,002 has been distriouted
in various charities. The church has sleadilv
advanced. Hi members and the congregation
have increased uutil now there is not a pew to
rent, and an enlargement of the ediiiee is in con
tc mplatlon. This exhibit must be truly Br.itiiy
ing to Dr. Hoe and tho people among whom
he has so long labored, and by whom he is so
universally beloved. Few churches iu the city
have evinced more energy or devotion in the
cause of the Great Master, and tew pastors have
labored with more r.eal and Christian earnest
ness than Dr. Howe.
A Good Apfjoinimmt. Arthur A. MejPiler,
formerly organist at St. Paul's Protestant Epis
copal church In this city, has lust received the
H))omimeu as organist ana cuoir-master at
Trinity church, New York. The appointment
thus made is a good one, and certainly reflects
credit on the judgment of those whose duty it
was to fill the poMiion. Trinity is one of the
most celebrated churches of this denomination
in the United States, aud is sure to be visited by
straepers of a religious tendency who may
sojourn in that city over Sunday.
TnE jFvvfsn rESTECosr. While the
Israelites of old Inhabited the land which Pro
vidence had bestowed upon them, they were
commanded that their small population should
appear before the Lord in the place consecrated
and set apart to His worship at certain 'seasons,
three times iu every year. The times of
their so appearing were fixed at the three
great national festivals The Passover, com
memorating their liberation from the Kgyptiau
bondage; Pentecost, or the last of weeks, a
festival instituted to commemorate their being
constituted as a nation and appointed to be the
peculiar and chosen people of Cod; aud thirdly,
the Feast of Tabernacles, to commemorate their
peaceful enloyment of the promised lau I, and
to express their igratitude at the fulness and
abundance of Diviue bounty, which poured forth
its blessings over them.
The second of these festivals, also known as
the Keast of Sbebuoth, will be inaugurated at
sundown this day, its observance extending
throughout Sunday and Monday, when at even
tide the feast will be at an end.
In obedience to these commands the festival
Is observed with great strictness throughout the
word. The synagogues in this city and else
where are decorated with (lowers, and are un
usually well attended by their respective con
gregations. Ail busiuess is suspended, and
worldly affairs are uncared for from sundown
to-night until eventide on Monday. The services
performed do not differ essentially from. those
held on most holy days, aud are, as usual, ex
tremely interesting to witness.
Zane Street Grammar ScnooL. The
commencement exercises of the Zane Street
Grammar School for girls took place yesterday
altcrnoon. The building was crowded to excess,
nnd everybody present appeared delighted with
the proceedings. The sonus and recitations,
original and selected, were rendered by the
scholars in a pleasing manner.
During the intellectual entertainment Miss
Webb received a pretty present from tHe gradu
ates. It consisted of a silver egg stand, a glass
stand and salts. Miss Susie It. Mitchell, who
stood number one of the candidates at the High
School in 1805, was the recipient of a handsomely-finished
gold pencil. Speeches were
made by Edward Shipnen, Esq., the President
ot the lioard ol Controllers, Richard R. Ludlow,
Esq., Proie-sor Rhoads, of the Central High
School, and Messrs. Beesly aud Riche. The pro
ceedings were interesting.
The Odd Fellows. The Grand Encamp
ment ot I'pnnsjivaiua adiourned sine die and
was closed in ample form on Thursday after
noon. The Grand Lodge closed lute yesterday after
noon in pertect harmouy, after the transaction
of a large amount ol business. Reports from all
parts of the State show that the prosperity of tho
Order in numerical strength and wealth is re
markable. The progress of the institution is
altogether without a precedent iu the history of
human associations, if we except political
parties.
Wp have been informed that the committee
(of the Convention raised to erect a ifw Odd
Fellows' temple) have agreed to report a new
charter to the Convention at its next meetin?.
This document is entirely shorn of the objection
able matter to be found in the one grauted by
the Legislature, and we have no doubt the new
instrument will prove acceptable to all.
Casualtiks. Owen Taggart, agfd 83
years, residing at No. 13'25 Pearl Btreet, had his
left arm badly lacerated bv its being caught
bei wren two blocks of marble, at Ridge road
and Sprln? Garden street.
Joseph Massey, aged 23 yeais, residing in
Quince street, near Eleventh, was run over by a
dray on Front street, below Pine, and had his
left leg injured.
Patrick Kelly, while driving a wagon at Third
and Spruce saeets, lell oil' nnd the wheels passed
over his breast, injuring him severely.
Charles Kerr, aged lourteeu years,' residing at
No. 18;!(i Pemberton street, had the lingers of
his right hand badly mashed between two cog
wheels, at Sixteenth aud Fitwater streets.
Tn above-named persons were admitted into
the Pennsylvania Hospital.
Odd, ifTrue butTkobably not True. Here
is a story from a late English paper: "A woiuau
named Harriet Eastbury was missed from her
home at Brockh y, Gloucestershire, on the Hth
ultimo, and no trace of her could be discovered
by her husband or the police. On the 15th In
stant, a laborer was Chln alou; the 'Warren,'
on Lord Northwick's estute, where there is an
ornamental lake, nearly surrounded by shrubs,
when he heard a moorhen making a' peculiar
noise; he proceeded to the spot, aud found the
ncft of the bird on the breast ot a womauVbody,
which was floating in the water. On the body
being removed, it was found to be thar of the
woman Entbury, which must haive boeu in the
water for live weeks. At the inquest, a verdict
of Mound drowncu' was returned. The uet
contained, seven egts, which w&re nearly
hatched."
'ilrlUh Geo. II., cai. 23. is the rather'
enigmatical title ol a new comedietta, w hich has
just been produced in London. The Act ot' Par
liament iu question, is that bv which the calen
dar was reformed, aud the "new style" intro
duced; and the mystery of the nam? of the
i-tatute being applied to the pliy is explained by
the fact that a lady, who is bound, under oaiu
of disinheritance, to marry a wealthy oflicer,
whom shu abhors, finds a means of escape from
her dilemma iu the discovery that, under the
new system of computation, there U positively
no such dav in the year as that appointed by her
ather's w ill for her marriage.
