ME LOVES 818 NO LONGEB. by EDWARD A, DABBT. The,flowers I cherished i' Are withered and sero, ( The hppes’are ail perished, That once Were so dear Only sorrow and sadness , Abide in my breast, •; And my heart is so weary It Ibngeth for rest. The faith that I trusted fled like a It'has'vanished like vapofa. ~ That mantle the stream : Fririhojoveame no longer, . She has broken each vow, And baa chosen another „ To smile upon now. I’ve seen her beside him, ; Her hand in his own. And she listened with pleasure , To catch Ids low tone; And I saw how she struggles To hide her deep sjghs, , And her glances stole upward To meet liisdark eyes. 1 loved her so dearly! Her love was my life, If strengthened iriy spirit To meet every strife ; And it filled my glad bosom With music arid sorig, And pattered sweet fragrance My pathway along. Her love was the flower That breathed its perfume Around, my existence. And freed it from gloom, But she loves mo rio longer; ... Jly hopes are all.fled, !

She is at rest, said the village pastor, as we stood around the shrouded figure, of the dead. How swfet, how consolatory these words seem ed when applied to her who lay in a dreamless slumber before us! The form, whose dim out line could be seen through the white Cerements of the grave, was wasted, to a mere shadow of .its former'symmetry and the cold hands folded dyer the silent heart were so thin and so trans parerft'lhat you could trace each blue vein. There-was many a silver thread in the dark hair, gathered back from the' broad forehead ; many a deep furrow on the pale and rigid face. Care and sorrow had swept the bloom from the cheek' and cast, a gloomy shadow over the spirit, which bad ribWLtaken its flight heaven ward. She had learned bitter lessons in human suf ferings ; her home had been darkened by death and her husband and child had long been ten ants of the tomb. Tho rosy visions of child childhood’had thus;melted away like the tints of the rainbow; the bright passion dreams of iyouth had fled, tho hopes arid plans of mature years had been grasped by the iron hand of ad versity. Friends had deserted her, arid love had-grown cold, her existence-was a perpetual struggle, yet amid every trial, every misfortune, she kept her faith in God undimed, Tho silver, cord was broken now; she was free from toil and grief she was at rest. Like the tempest tossed mariner she made,the perilous voyage of fife with her gaze fized.on the star of eternity, rind in that peaceful heaven beyond the river of death; her sweet repose is endless. What can be more soothing than tho thought of eternal rest ? When the poor dio in pence ,we rejpico in the belief that they have found repose in tho better land. Thera no storms come, and no clouds of sorrow lower, but the weary aro at rest. . A Story For Boys. It is ; rolatcd of a Persian mother, that on giv ing her sou forty pieces of silver as his portion, » 6he made him swear never to tell alio, and said, I «.Go:my sonconsign thee to God, and wo.

William Ladd was the President of the Amer ican Peace Society, and he believed that', thb principle of,.peace carried out, would maintain good will amongPeighbors ns well as nations. But-there was a limp when he bad notfally considered this subject—had not thought muon about it—as I dare say my. young readers have not, and he believed that if a man struck him a blow, it was best and fair to strike back again, without considering if there were not some bet tdt >vay of. overcoming tho oilcnder; , or, if a man did biro an injury, why, as people com monly say, he would ‘'give him as good as he sent.-’ , \ \ ' He then had a farm; and a poor man,who lived on land adjoining his, neglected to keep the sheep out. But the sheep came in again, and William Ladd, who was a very orderly man himself; was provoked. “Sam,” said ho. “go to that fellow and tell him if he don’t keep his sheep out of my wheat field, I’ii have them shot.” Even this did not do any good—the sheep wcre.in again. : , ‘,‘Sam,”said William Ladd, “take my gun and shoot those sheep. V “I would rather not, I’said 1 ’said Sam. “Rather not. Why,- there are but three; it’s no great job. ” • • : ' •‘No, sir ; but'the poor man has but three in the world, and I’m not the persjon thaf likes to shoot a poor man’s sheep.” “Then ,the poor man should take proper care of .them. I gave him warning; why did he not mend his fence ?"' ' ; “Well,Air, I gqcss it was bemuse you sent him a rough kind of message; it madehim mad, rind so he wouldn’t do it.” “I considered a few minutes,” said William Ladd, “and then I told Sam to put the horse in the buggy.”. : “Shall I put in the gun?” said Sam. ■ “No,” said I. : 1 saw he half smiled ; but I said nothing.' I got into my buggy and, drove up to my neighbor. He lived a mile off, and 1 bad a good deal bf time to ' think-the matter over.. ' ■ .When I drove up to the house the man was, chopping wood. . There, were a few sticks of wood and the house was poor,and ray heart was softened. ‘Neighbor,’L called,but. The man looked sulky, and did not raise his head.', ' . ' , ■ .;r.; u • a “Come, come, .neighbor,” said I, “I Have come with friendly feelings to you,arid you must meet me half way.’’ He' perceived that I was in earnest, laid down his axo, and enme. to ihe wagon. , “Now, neighbor,” said- I, “wo have both been in the wrong; you ntgiepted ytiurJTqppri,' arid I gof arigry and sent you a provoking mes sage. Now; let us lace about and both do right. I’ll forgive: you. Now, let’s shake hands.” ’ . He didn’t feel quite like giving his hand, but let me take it. _ _ ' “Now;” saidT. “niJgliß'or,’drfve^"your sheep down to my pasture.-: They shall share with my. sheep until next! spring; and you shall have all.the yield, and ; next summer we shall start fair.” , ’ "• I. 1 ';•, ... His hand was rio longer dead in mine, and ho gave me a goodly friendly grasp. The fears came into his eyes, and he said, “I guess you are aChfistian, William Ladd, after all.” . : “And the little fracas with my neighbor about the sheep was,” said William Ladd,“the' first step to my devoting myself to the Peace Society.” Buies for the Journey of Life. The following rules from the' papers of Dr. West, were according to his memorandum thrown together, as general way roarira pn the journey of life: ■' , . ' Never ridicule sacred things, dr what .others may esteem such, however absurd they iuay ap pear to be, , Never to show levity when people aro pro fessedly engaged in worship. Never to resent a supposed injury till I know tho views and motives of the author of it. Ne ver on any occasion to retaliate. Always to take the part of an absent person, who is censured in company, so far aa truth and propriety will allow. Never to think the worse of another on ac count of his differing with me in political and religious opinions. Not.to dispute with a man,more than seventy years of ago, nor with a woman, nor an enthu siast. ' . ,' .Not to 'effect to be witty, or to jest, so as to wound-the feelings of another. To say as little as possible of myself and those who are near mo. To aim at choerfiliness without levity. , Not to obtrude my ndvice unasked.| Never to court the favor of the rich by flat, terlng either ffaoir vanity or vices. . To speak with calmness and deliberation on all occasions; especially in circumstances which tend to irritate, j,' . Frequently to review my conduct and note my feelings. On alt occasions to have in prospect the end .of life and future state; He Don’t Undeestand Politics. —“ Ku S’,” who writes tho Buffalo Republic a racy, ramb ling letter from Cattaraugus, frankly acknowl edges that bo is shamefully ignorant of politics. Just hear him; ; v , ’ “ Humiliating as is tho confession, I don’t comprehend politics, and I can’t; havn’t the slightest ’conception what the Crittenden-Mont. gomory.bill is ; ’pon .honor, I'couldn’t distin guish it from any other hill wore the execution good and vignette perfect. Hato foreigner:;, and therefore think I could’nt go the English Bill, though I don’t know as I would object to his being natiiralized'if ho was an orderly, citizen. Suppose tho Missouri Compromise is an opido. mic peculiar to that State, but don’t know.— Couldn’t state precisely whore Kansas is, but suppose it to bo some far-off place whoro tho principal occupation of tho inhabitants is hold ing elections arid voting. Rough individuals from tho border frequent these elections, which afford opportunity for an agreeable interchange of civilities between them. ‘Shrieking’ is re duced to an art, and ‘ bleeding’ performed on tho most scientific principles.” 03?” How little is known of what is in tho ho som of those around us! "Wo might explain many a coldness, could wo look into tho heart concealed from us, wo should often pity where wo hate, love when wo curl tho lip with scorn and indignation. To judge without reserve oi any human action is a culpable timority, o( all our sins tho most unfeeling and Iroquent. «»Be Just and Feah Not.”— This is a motto which our very soul loves. It is a noble, manly and encouraging motto— adapted to all classes and conditions: to the' young, the middle aged and the hfiary-headed. Young man, wo would persuade yoti to adopt it as yours; it will bo a source of comfort—a slay and prop to you through nil tho turmoils and anxieties of life.— When you aro convinced that you have done .right—that you have acted justly—you can con- Udontly trust tho result to tho AU-wiso Ruler. Condition of Sebastopol, A trustworty correspondent, in a letler dated Constantinople, August 20, thus describes the present.stale of Sebastopol,' regarding which so many .contradictory accounts have lately ap peared : 1 ■ ■ ; “ We have accomplished an excursion to the Crimea, and were much gratified with' it. So baatopofwas our head quarters fer a week, so We had plenty of time.fully to examine tho va rious places of interest in connection with the war. : Everything lat present remains in very much tho same state as at the conclusion of the war. Tho town, which has been a very'fine one, is now bnt a scone of ruin and.desolation. The present population'(reduced from 40,000 to 6,000,) mostly live in tho wooden huts loft by the British and French armies; some low.stone houses have been rebuilt, but Very few, and of a very common sort. Tho magnificent docks remain in the state of total ruin, to which they were reduced during the.occnpation o< tho town by the allies, and heaps of stones are the .only indications of the positions of the forts on tho south side of tho harbor. ■ But on the north side the forts arc in an efficient state as over, it be ing perfectly ludicrous to observe how little da mage they received from the bombardment given them. The trenches, batteries, and other earthworks remain ns, they were during the war, with merely the slight alterations caused by wind and weather, and even at this distance of time, cannon balls, shot, powder-cans, : broken pieces, of. shells, &0., are found lying on tho ground (especially in the neighborhood 6l the "batteries}'in; such quantities as to keep men at work collecting them for their value as old iron, and taking them away by cartloads. ' Even whole unexploded shells are yet occa sionally to.tie met with., Wo fell in with ono on tho very day-of oiir arrival; but they are hot pleasant things to meddle with, as they, at times explode with no very apparent good reason; and an unfortunate English sailor was blown all to pieces a few months ago by an accident of this sort. I remember seeing some months ago’in the Times some, statements to tho effect that tho graves in tile Crimea were .not taken proper care-of, but J must say I came to quite a difler ent; conclusion. I visited most of the English cometriea at Balakiava”, Inkermaii and tho Alma, as well as those nearer Sebastopol, and with one exception, did not see a single monument in jured or defaced. The ono and only exception is in tho case of tho obelisk erected by the Bri tialrarmy im front of-the Redan, which is muti lated by divers visitors having cut their names in the stoned and-.the inscription on it is also partly defaced, very probably, I think; in some drunken frolic. Diiring our short residence among tho .Russians we found them all, whether richior,'priori most,civil and desirous of oblig ing us, and apparently bearing irs no ill will bn account of our country. In tho harbor* Of Se bastopol they are,very busily employed, under the direction of an Ainerican, in working with the sunken; ships. They have relinquished nil hope of getting up the larjo men-of-iyar entire, arid are now. blowing them up.and so' getting thorn up peacemeal; but with some, of the; BtriaU- f “orcraft they are moib aficciisaftjJ, and woi.saw one smaller steamer that hatV ijeon just raised when wo were there. It- certainly looked a queer affair; bat they said the wood was sound, and that a few repairs would malic' tho engines all* right. The steamer that took us from Con stantinople to, Odessa; on our way to tile ,Cri im:n,; anuui ay oar; anfr according to the captain "(whoso stiifoinont.X re ceive with doribt) the engines recommenced working wlthoutany repairs being required.” The Yankee Charmer and hirßattlesnakes. A correspondent of tho South at the Sweet Springs, Virginia, thus mentions an exhibition there by the snake charmer : “ A tail, bony, Yankee-looking foreigner, last from California, made his appearance with a box of snakes; rattlesnakes, moccasins, blacksnakcs, vipers, &c. , ; Ho'.collected a crowd around him, though at respectful distance,, and' grasping with both hands a bunch of snakes, coiled them around his neck and thrust thorn into his bosom; as if they were strands of silk and cotton. Their twisting and turning seemed to.give him plea sure, while tho bystanders wore filled with very opposite emotions. He professes, to fame his savage friends by mesmerism, and thus fights tho rattlesnake with his own weapqn. - Some in the crowd suggested that ho should take a wild, untamed snake, and show his power over it, which ho agreed to do for $25. Tho sum was readily subscribed, and a rattlesnake, caught tho day before was soon procured. The. operator examined him with some caution but presently turned the box over and threw the ve nomous reptile upon the sward. Ho kicked him ahout several times, caught him by the tail and throw it hack and forth, and finally seized him in t(io middle and beldhitn at arm’s length. The snake turned his head towards him, and thoir eyosriiet—thelatter fixed his gaze steadily dpon tho snake and kept it so for several min. utes, when ho suddenly coiled it around his neck, thrust it in his bosom, as.l)e had done the others, and tho snake seemed entirely docile.— Two days after, ho repeated his experiment for twenty dollars on a large rattlesnake; which had just been caught with similar results. A crowd of ladies, gentlemen and children in tho piazza of tho hotel, witnessed tho singular 'exhibition. It was painful to behold, though tho individual seemed to have the most entire confidence in bis ability to control tho horrid animals. A Faulty Official.— When Judge “HTLean” was Postmaster General, ho wrote the following letter to a dismissed postmaster, who inquired why ho had been removed Sir:—Tho allegations qgainst you aro numer ous and strong, and chiefly these: That you cannot write or read; are not a safe account ant ;.not delivering letters when called for, de livering letters frequently to persons for whom they were not intended; fail to send letters and packages by mail in proper time: sometimes sending off tho mail without putting into it any letters of packets that had been lodged at your office; reverse the destination of letters, aqjl send .them hack to tho place whence they came; have not sense enough to discover the error afi ter the.letters have been repeatedly returned:;, make frequent and gross- mistakes in the hills forwarded to other offices ; open packages ad dressed to other post-offices : when a mail ,is called foi- by a neighboring postmaster, hand ing out any one, rightor wrong ; disobey the regulation respecting dead newspapers, appro-, priato half a dozen of them to your own use for two or three years, and resort to the miser able speculation of selling them for wrapping paper; filling up circulating libraries with pe riodical works obtained in this way ; aro un couth in your behavior, odious, to the popular tion.; heap error upon error mid avail yourself of these errors in order to supplant your em ployer ; have been tried by the vicinage and found wanting ; and, to sum up, they charge you with want of principle and.capaoity.

Greenpugb, late of with a keen black eye—a woman of great self-' possession and decision of character, was called 1 to Dm stand. Webster saw that her testimony would have groat weight with the jury, and re solved to try to break her up. And when aha answered to the first question, “I believe,’’.' Webster roared out: “Wo don’t want to hoar what you believe ; wo want to hear what you know!” Mrs. G. replied, “that is just what I was go ing to say, sir,” and went on. And notwithstanding his repeated ((Torts to disconcert her, she pursued the even tenor of her way, until Webster, becoming quite fearful of the result, arose apparently in great agitation anddrawing out his snuff-box, thrust his thumb and Unger to the very bottom, and carrying the deep pinch to both nostrils, drew it up with a gusto t and then extracting from bis pocket a largo handkerchief, he blew his nose wlth'a re port that rang distinct and loud through the crowded hall.

She had studied the history of the Devil carefully, and found from the Bible, tho Shas- ■ ter, and other sources, that after his fall he had ‘ been confined in a deep pit, as cark as.tar; but ' in after years the earth was created, and some ’ of the angels pitying him said to the Diely : ‘llcrej the poor Devil has been dawn in this dark pit so many years why may he not let him loose upon tho earth which is empty It was ac cordingly done, and the devil became better in his new home, and had gone on improving with the improvement of the world, until now it was unnatural to see him trying to reach a higher sphere, by teaching these beautiful truths' through Spiritual media.
