Ah brotberenly I and thou Are left of that dear circle now, — The dear home faces whereupon That fitful firelight paled and shone, Henceforward listen as we will, The voices of that hearth are still: Look where we may the wide earth o er Those lighted faces shine no more. We tcead the paths their feet have worn, We sit beneath their orchard trees, We hear like them the hum of bees And rustle of thebladed corn : We turn the pages that they road, Their written words we linger o'er ; Rutin the sun they east no shade, No voice is heard, no sign is made. No step is on the conscious floor ! Vet love will dream and faith will trust, (Since he who knows our need is just.) That somehow, somewhere, meet we must. Alas for him who never sees The stars shine through Ins cypress trees 1 Vi ho hopeless lays his dead away, Nor looks to see the breaking day Across the mournful marble play ! Who hath not learned in hours of faith. The truth to flesh and sense unknown, That- Life is ever Lord of Death, And Love can never lose its own Whittiers Snow Bound. SUMMER TItIENDS. Let your summer friends go by With the summer weather : Hearts there are that will not. fly, Though the storms should gather. Summer love to fortune clings ; From the wreck it saileth, Like the bee that spreads its wings When the honey faileth. Rich the soil where weeds appear : Let the false bloom perish : Flowers there are mon rare and dear. That you still may cherish. Flo#ers of feeling pure and warm, Hearts jhat cannot wither : These for thee huli bide the storm. As the sunny weather. A ROMP. That night when little Fan 1 sought To help me with my song.

After the introductory services Mr. Beech ertook his text ironi 1 Johnii, 14, in which the young men are exhort-d to be strong, and then preached a very lengthy and elab orate isenuon to the young men of the pres ent age.—Basing his premises on the inter pretation of the passage which makes the "young" mean the "military age," lie con tended that as we look to the young in times of physical trouble fm support; so ilicy are the natural bulwark of society agaiust its moral enemies. Af .cr a very elequent eu logy of the character of the young of the present age, he argued that society had a right, to look to its young men for (I) the redemption of labor. Cinder this head he showed that the first and natural mistake would oe to secure • and the laboring man their rights by leg is.. on and.by pub lic sentiment. "Legislation,'' said he, "must follow the moral condition not lead it. You cannot make men wise by votes nor by lav. - alone can you educate them. Laws arc situ ply tools, mere implements and ma chines to work with, fhey may follow moral reform, and secure its gains and make its ways lawful. Law inay build schools and provide funds, but it cannot educate. It can then do something,but that which needs to bo done for the tk ration oi labor must be done iu some other way. In the free States men grow imo their places, and by no way known to us can you put them arti ficially higher than they put themselves with good effect Lome men are always looking here, there and anywhere, for some one to put them iu ahi rher or a better place. They are attained o: w.-ir cubing, and think to ennoble themselves by getting into anoth er. Men seem ashauieu of labor, and often you shall find men who Have made them senes re,- (Ki ted in labor, have built up a business and amassed a fortune, who turn to their son.- and say, "Yoa hall sever do as i did; jou shall lead a different life; you shall be pavc.i alt tuL.' "Oh, these rich men's on s ! They aim to lead a life of ele gant leisure ; and that is a iite of emascula ted idleness and lazirtes . Lao. the polypus that iloat-m ui. ss and nasty upon the sen, ail jti.y, aii ilabby, no muscle, m, bone—it stints : uu opens and opens and shuts, and .sucks in and squirts out again, of no earthly acedunt, influenue or nan.

As he grew older he b came ve y v.eaithy, and had, before be died, the is t j library of any one in that section of the country. Whea lgo to Boston, whatever else I tail to see, I always go to the Athe ! nmuiu, and pay my re.-i'.ct -to that olu li ! brary.

A mau uiaj ; . .-cut tu Congress and not be a sage, iiu may even be a President and make some mistake-. This rule of educa tion,ol ennobling the muubood oi" men, is : applicable as well to clerks as to the laboring man. Importunity may secure to them a ! remission of time, or a slight increase of wage,-:, but the vital necessities of these youngnuii, the volume of being and the elevation of character are secured in uosueh way ; tiny are the normal results of educa tion, and ibiiow appoiutc ■. paths. Iu aiis tociutie societies, the tendency of society is to elevate the few and depress the masses, i bulin this country, and wherever true de n.. jracy has us \v: y, the tendency is to ele vate the iri iiiy aad repress the few. It may be true that the tens a;c more scarce than in earlier Uays, but it ceriainly is true that the :iiou.-uiids are more plenty, There are not so many g- tiiii i-s and great men. but tli rears vastly more true men, worthy men, i itelligeut men, than ever before. Here we are jcalou.- oi the few, an 1 promi nence is not so readily granted to the ambi tious as where the average of society i. low. I The tendencies of our times are far higher and better than formerly. The natural temptations remain, to bo sure, nut it, ..ems to me that in ail indu.-trial and profl. -mnal eaiiuigs there is a purer, more generou.- and if. ::ie'r ambition than formerly. Yir to is ni":' honored, dissipation is reprobated, and Christian character is fay more eominoti among young uicu_ than m my boyhood.

I.—Lay aside your f&ars that the Editor will get rich faster than his neighbors. We have river heard of a man making more than a decent living by a publication of a county newspaper, even if ho had ever such a good badness. A ease in point is an ac quaintance of onrs, who has been publish ing . utiie six or seven years, lias had all the businc - of his own town and, county, and a large portion of that of the surrounding; hut with all this he gets into tight piriehe for money to buy his white paper with, as well as any other publisher with whom we are acquainted. —if the paper agrees with your ways of thinking, sub, ribe and pay for it, and persuade j our neighbors of the same mind to "goanddo likewise.'" Do not tell the editor to send you the paper without paying and when you get to owe tro or three dol lars. ted yrur friends who speak of it, that the paper is of no account, that it will burst up one of these d;s . The way, under such a state of the ea e, to keep a paper from "'bursting up," is for each, subscriber to keep the editor'-h-mks free from cbftrges against hint; elf. Once we had to close, and on posting up, found that we had booked and outstanding some S2OO more than we had capital invested. This thing of apply ing the ertd if.system to the newspaper bu siness may be likened to a farmer selling out his crop, a bushel to the mac. The sum each owes for a bushel, does not seem ofany account to tbo debtor, but the aggregate of these bushels may make or break the poor delverin the soil. 3. —Ifyou have a fa the*, mother, brother, sister or friend, of any kind, resi ling at a distance and are able, .subscribe, pay for and send them a copy. 4. —If you have any printing you wish done, do not "jew" the editor down ton starvation price, and when he comes to make a purchase of you "spike on the tar iff." 5. —If you have any advertising or job work you wish done, take it to your county paper, except, perhaps, you may wish to advertise in more than one paper, (V, —Do not run off to the city to get your handbill-, labels, cards, ore., printed, be er r- : forsooth, you can get a reduction of a few cents in price. Support your own as you wish to be supported. A man who is always running away from home with his buhiu. little deserves the patronage of the community in which he live- : and a . far as we are concerned, such wiil receive the "cold shoulder. 7.—lf you have the e at.vl of the legal advertising, send it to your friend. This kind busine pays l 't r then any other and the more you can send to the editor of your paper, the better for hiru and it. In proportion to the amount oi the receipts oi a paper, is an editor enabled to make it use ful, amusing an 1 entertaining to the com inanity in which it is published. S. —Do not expect much of a paper when an t ".tor is driven to be hi. own compositor, proof reader, pressman and "devil," and i:as to run all over town every forenoon in the vain search for a "quarter ' to buy something for his dinner. v. -i io "trot expect tns editor fo make honorable mention of you or your business every few weeks for nothing. The space in the paper and a man s time, are worth something, and every notice comes back to th-: drawer of the recipient in dollars and cents. An i liter should not be allow.-1 to go hungry, hard acted or barefooted. They "eat" drink and weai. jusi like other peo ple. 10.—-It the editor owes you a shilling, do not chase him from "rosy morn to balmy eve" l'or it, and when you happened to get the balance on the other side, "cut the gen tleman's acquaintance." 1! —"Fi a !y, my brethren," if you wish to properly susi-utn your county paper to live the balance of your days in peace with God and man, and occupy a seat in Paradise after death, practice the Golden Rule—"Do unto others as you would wish they would do unto you," under like cir cumstances. HAUiIIAGES OF COUSINS. Some very interesting facts in connection with the subject of marriages of con ;i guinity have just been put on record i; a French suitieian. lie carried on investiga tion:- in the town of Batz. in the French Department of the lioire Infcrieure. Hav ing - ".acted forty-gix ca.-es of consanguin eous marriages; he examined the husbands wives and children, both in regard to their physical and intellectual development, and made inquiries about the families examined and their ancestors, through the assistance of the mayor, pastor and oldest inhabitants. Combining the statistics thus collected, he has found that intermarriages do not bring about di-ease. idiocy, or malformation. Hr.rever. it is important to remark that these r übs are attributed by the writer to the favorable climate of the locality, and to the . mm,.! habits, hygiene, and morality of the inhabitants, as well as to the absence of all !;• reditary disease. The town of Batz is sittu:- d upon a peninsula, bounded on one side by the rocks of the seashore, and on the other by salt marshes. The air is pure atid the most frequent winds are from the north, northeast and northwest The num ber of inhabitants is about 3,500. They have- little communication with other parts I of the country, and their occupation is al most confined to the preparation of salt, j Thejrate t i\v intelligent, almost, all tho 1 adults l-ieiusr *.: -to r ad. The morality is of tie hi a. . -tamp, pirndilution being unknown. Theft and murder have not oc cur \ d within tho recollection of the oldest inhabitant. Mothers nunc their children i ti-1 * hey are fifteen months old, and the general food of, the }>opukiUon is of the ve.-viable cla. s. There are, at present in the Ihi-z forty-,jy consanguidcoa- pairs of first to' in?, five unions between second cousins- hirty-one marriages of third cous ins, and i of cousins in the fourth degree. From the hv. unions of second cousin?, there have b- n twenty three children, none of whi tn have presented any congenital de |f •, itv. five thirty one marriages of third j c vi-'.iis hive pi tduced one hundred and j ;w:.uty child: - 1, ali iuelihy ; and the war | rages of fourth cou,tilts have given rise to ssv uty-ninv child -vi ill of whom, with the I <>v -ption of tho- ■ who died of ague, were i | sr mu and h ai h a? the period of examin 1 a i n. The writer contends that such facta the foregoing prove thaf consanguineous marriages by no means lead to tho degener ation of a race. t. -• N - • -*- . Thk prices of grain, flour, and produce 1 generally, as well as of dry goods and nearly i ail articles of domestic manufacture, are ; •in downward. The late high prices j h . en kept up by speculators, who are ' still trying to fore: the market. Consum- ' ers should make up their minds to do with out articles for a season for which exorbitant rates arc demandel. This woujd soon bring down prices. v RATES OF ADVERTISING.

It is the only living specimen of Gireffe, or Oaiuclopard, now in the United States, belonging to the celebrated "Van Amburg Menagerie," on its way to Barnaul's Museum, New York, via Allentown, Easton &c. The animal was secured in a mammoth wagon, drown by six cream-colored horses and accompanied by.two men —its keeper and the driver of the teaiu. The manageric stopped operations for the season at.some point in Indiana, about sixty miles from Cincinnati, Ohio, and the remaining animals were sent to winter quarters in New York, by rail. The rare and interesting specimen referred to ha- been in transit some four weeks cr move, making the distance, thus far in stage of twenty to twenty-five miles per day. The magnificent den containing the Giraffe is carefully padded, placed on improved elliptic springs, upon a stout car nage nearly touching the ground. The cage is almost air tight, the animal carefully blanketed and nursed tenderly. Its food consists of good cloycr hay and oats. It is nearly full grown—a female—about, five years old, and weighs nine hundred pounds, its keeper iriiormed me. The weight of the animal and wagon together (as weighed on the scales of lis ; Black Horse tavern, in your city) is three thousand six hundred pounds. The party expected to reach New York city a week hence. To my great sunrise the in telligeut keeper"of this rara an* proved him- If to re a former acquaintance—a member of Duryea's New York Zouaves, who aided in the construction of the famous Fort on Federal Hill, Baltimore, a fortifica tion which kept in terror and obeisance the infamous secession element in Maryland, shortly after the memorable attack on the Massachusetts volunteers, in April, ,1861. My Yankee friend assured me that out of that spiend-d regiment, consisting of nearly eleven hundred men, only two hundred and sixty-five of its original members escaped from the terrible <. Fa! of disease and death on the many baffle-fields; and starvation in the Rebel mnnFp-p. ns. But I aai getting too prolix. More anon, JOHNNY SCRHU KEit. _ AMBER.

So also there are two ways of going to hell: one is to walk into it with your eyes open.—few people do that, —the other is to go down by the steps of little sins and that way, I fear, is only too common. Put up with a few little sins, and you will j ;oon want of w more; —even a heathen could say "\Yk > ever was content with only one sin? —ar; 1 then your course will be reg ularly worse :.nd worse every year. Well did Jeremy Taylor describe the progress of sin in a man : "First, it startles him, then it becomes pleasing, then confirmed! Then the man is impenitent; then obstinate; and then he is damned." Reader, the devil only wants to get the wedge of a little allowed sin into your hearts, and you will soon be all his own. Never play with fire. Never trifle with lit tle sins.
