THE BOUND BOY. ‘I don't care !’ sobbed Julius Kingsley. ‘You’re real mean—so you are 1’ And he throw himself down on a pile of dis jointed kindling wood in a paroxysm of childish rage. 'ls that the way to talk to me ?’ angrily demanded Mrs. Parley, bestowing a cor dially given box on either, side of the doomed young victim’s bead, 'and you nothing on earth but a bound boy ! I hu’nt ho patience with you—and Job himself wouldn’t have I’ 'Gently, mother, gently. What’s the matter now ?' demanded Farmer Parley, cautiously thrusting, his sunburnt shock of hair Into the wood-shed door. •Matter!’ echoed Mrs. Parley. ‘Why just, just look here! Thom wheels "Off the old wheel-harrow bysted up to the ruff,'with the second-hand harness you bought o’ Deacon Silsbury, and the strips for the new rag carpet—and all the wood tumbled dowr. higgledy-piggledy, to make room for it. And the hens ain't fed, and the cows ain't goile after—and there ain’t nothin’ done that ought to be! I tell you I huiu’t no paitenco with his oxperlmentft’und his tiicks. Get up Ju lius, this minute, ami go for the cows; and nbt a mouthful of supper will you get this night.! *, Julius Kinga|ey obeyed sulkily, and with down-propping bead. He was a blight-looking boy of about thirteen, with dark grey eyes and thick brown hair, which hung over a low square fore in ud ; and as he walked he clenched his boyish hands, until the nails indented the llesh in crescent shaped marks. ‘I won’t stand it!’ muttered Julius to himself. ‘TbeyWe no business to treat me so.' Ami then the wrathful mood subsided In some decree, as he remembered the many deeds of kindness ho had received from both Mr. and Mrs. Parley—the care in sickness, the neatly mended clothes, the many little tokens of watchfulness so nnw and grateful to the orphan boy ; and liitlo alice, too, who trotted at his heels when he went to gather apples In the or chard, and thought of the wooden toys his ingenious jack-knife furnished the most marvelous of creation. 'I suppose X am a trial, 1 sighed Julius; ‘but she needn’t have torn all my ma chinery down ; and then to box my ears, too! r It was rather a derogatory process to the boyish dignity of thirteen. ‘You ain't in earnest about bis supper, mother? said Farmer Parley, aa they sat down to the well-spread evening board. ‘Yes, I be. Have some quince sass, Alice?’ ‘Remember he’s a growing boy,* plead ed her husband. ‘I can’t help that; he’s got to learn to behave himself. There ain’t no other wiy of managin’ him. It was only yes terday be blowed the'lopoff my beat pre aarvlu ban, to show Alice how a steam boat worked, and Inst week Inmost got poisoned with a bottle of some stuffhe’d got tucked away on the shelf that X took for vinegar.* 'Sulphuric acid, mother,’ said little Alice. ‘lt was to—” ‘I don’t care what it was for,’ inter rupted the farmer’s wife. ‘Julius cau behave well enough when he’s a mlud to, and he’s got to.’ And the farmer knew from the way his wife compressed her lips together, that she was in unmiti gated earnest. Julius Kingsley went supperless to his room, but before he had begun to un dress, a soft knock came to his door, and Alice’s voice whispered : ‘Julius! Julius!’ ‘What is it ?’ ‘Open the door. I’ve got a piece of peach pie for you, and two rusks and a bowl of milk.' •But what will your mother say, Alice?' 'She’s gone to Mrs. Badger’s, and she thinks I’m in bed, but I got up and dressed myself. I couldn'n sleep, Julius, thinking how hungry you must bo.' And she nestled down close at the hound boy's side, as ho eagerly devoured the supper, which was brought him. 't was hungry, Alice,’ said Julius, us he took a long draught of milk, and you are a good little thing. I’ll do as much for you some day.' Alice laughed. ■I don’t got Into scrapes like you Jull- That’s no sign you never will.’ Mrs. Parley, secretly relenting lu the depth of her mother's heart, gave Julius the brownest cakes and the juolest bit of -moat for breakfast, the next morning, ‘lie'll behave himself now, I guess,j she tl i-light; but in this she was mis taken. Julius Mid up’ his chores iu tho short est possible period of time, that afternoon when Mrs. Parley hud betaken herself to the Sewing Circle with little Alice, and the farmer was going to the neighboring village, and applied himself with more zeal than discretion !o the further pros© l-U-'Jon in hi a “XpVvtiUOhl hid! had euHpd •'(» .■>: ih*.- nv»s*jiv»ng can. •The vt-* fe----I?* -•?. ■ot aica*.plough' hdius, 'anr, 1 /.'.■*■»’ .i niAtvA ! ; l.uf work.'" Vain unction to lay to hia soul ; for just aa that experiment, whatever it hap *pened to be, reached the caluminatiug point, up flew the tea kettle from the stove, tortured by too much caloric, and bang wont the iron lid, right into tho dresser cupboard, that held Mrs. Parley’s best set of china. ■ ■ Julius stood staring aghast ut the ruin. All housekeepers have their domestic idols, and this new ’iron atone’ set was Mrs. Parley's. The teapot lay noiseless and demolished before his eyes, three cups were broken, and the handle was dashed off from the cream pitcher, while the knob was chipped neatly? off*tho cov er of the sugar bowl. Julius only paused for one glance at tho general ruin, then ho turned and fled inglorlously from this Waterloo ’of his scientific efforts. And the next,day, all Brlckertoo knew that farmer Parley's bound boy had run awuy, after first de molishing all of Mrs. Parley's china, out of sheer revenge, because she had boxed bis ears the day before. ‘I always knew that boy wouldn’t come to no good,' said Deacon Jones. •There was a vicious look in his eyes,’ croaked Miss Lavlua Denham, ‘and 1 only wonder he didn’t sot fire to the house or burn you all iu your beds.’ But little Alice cried bitterly, and treasured more tenderly , than ever, a goggle-eyed doll, with arms out uf all proportion, and feet several degrees larg er than her head, was the lust wooden exploit Julius had presented to her. *l'll never have another bound boy,* asserted Mrs. Parley. ‘Well, well,’ sighed the farmer, ‘how time does slip away from us, to be sure ! Alice is nineteen to-day, and it don’t seem right she should be away from us on her birth-day. Bbe’s been three months In the city, now, wife.’ ‘Yes,’ said Mrs. Parley,- nodding her head sagely, 'and I don’t believe she’ll come home alone, neither.’ 'Eh !’ the farmer opened wide his blue eyes; ‘you don’t s’pose she’s engaged to that Mr. Clinton ?’ ‘You men are so slow to put two and two together,’ said Mrs. Parley with a conscious smile. I’ve susplcloned it this long while, and Mrs. Carter writes that it’ll be a splendid match, and half the young ladles in Boston are envying our little country girl. Only think, won't it be nice to have our Alice a rich lady, living In a big house in Boston?’ Mr. Parley stared steadfastly at the fire. , ‘Who is he, any way?' ho asked In a troubled voice. ‘She’s all the child we’.vo got, wife. We can’t give her to a man without knowing who and what he is.’ ‘You needn’t worry,’ said his wife, with the superior calmness of one who is posted. 'He’s as steady going as you be yourself—at least so Mrs. Carter.writes— and he’s an inventor, whatever they may be. Any way, he made a great fortune out of a patent he sold to the govern ment. Alice won’t have to work all her days as hard as I have done, and that’s one comfort.’ And when Alice’s shy.letter, which implied far more than it told, intimated thatsho was coming home under Mr. Clinton’s escort, the old farm house was duly swept and garnished for the recep tion of the honored guest. Mrs. Parley put on her best black silk, and the far mer donned his butternut suit, which seemed to him us gorgeous aa it had been on the day ho bought it, twenty good years ago. ‘I wonder which train they will come in,* said Mrs. Parley, reflectively. ‘ X should hale the worst kind to have that turkey spoiled.’ But such a catastrophe was happily averted, for the travelers arrived ns the stormy twilight made the glow of the the great wood fire doubly grateful— there was the crunch of wheels In the deep snow without, the opening of the door, and then Alice was In her moth er’s arms. In the back ground a tall, figure stood stately, dignified, and self contained, with jet black hair and grave violent gray eyes, and the farmer - made his beat bow as Alice introduced ‘Mr. Clinton,’ with a deep red flush upon her cheek. ‘You must like him very much, father, for my sake,* she said, ‘because I. have promised to be his wife.’ When the hospitable meal was over, and Mrs. Parley came in from the kitchen, pulling down the sleeves that bad been rolled up above her elbow, and tying on a clean checked apron, Alice sprang to her feet. ‘Mother,’ said she, with tier face all smiles and dimples, ‘Mr. Clinton has brought you a present.’ ’A present!' cried Mrs. Parley. ‘And father must get a hammer and screw-driver, and open it very carefully, for it’s china,' ‘China?’ ‘Yes, real china, imported from Can ton ; so transparent that you can look through it lu colors of life. Ob, it is beau tiful.’ She stood by, gleefully clapped her hands ns the treasures were unpacked, and enjoyed her mother’s delight as the beautiful, fragile things, one by one, made their appearance ■•from countless wrappings of silver paper. ‘How kind it is of you, Mr. Clinton I’ said Mrs. Parley, looking up with beam ing eyes. 'I always did set store by china. ‘Not kind at all,’ said the young man quietly ; ‘it is simply the settlement of a very old debt.’ ‘A debt!’ repealed the farmer’s wife, with puzzled eyes. ‘I don’t tliluk I fair ly understand you, Mr. Clinton.’ Ho smiled. ‘lt is to replace the sot I broke, trylug experiments, twelve years ago.' Mrs. Parley started, beginning to have uncomfortable doubts as to tho entire sanity of her daughter’s lover. Aud then, us ho smiled again, a sudden light broke in upon her brain,; CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY, MAY 15, 1813 ■lt ain’t, never’—she began and then stopped short. 'Yes it la, mother!’ cried Alice,-radi antly. ‘ft's Julius— you\ Julius!' ‘Whose ears you have boxed deserved ly so many times,' laughed the young man. ‘And he has made his fortune, mother, and ia a great man now, and I al kuev •;*. would be v.*, 7 Trenton Al ice. ft us licit rml AU-3 it r.-oic ■•z.p?r!n*bij»a ha ’jJ-v-.y* r.ry- ‘Well, I never I’ cried Mrs. Parley, while the former rubbed his spectacles, and laughed u low, chuckling laugh, which expresded his perfect content ment better than all the adjectives iu Webster’s dictionary could have done. And the chill December noon, shining through the far-off window beyond the orbit of the firs, beamed upon no bap pier household In all the land, than gathered that night around farmer Par ley’s hearthstone. PATRICK HENRY IN COURT. The intolerance of the established chitrch, Mr.Parton illustrates by the case of three Baptist preachers who were ar raigned as “dlslurbei's of the peace” be fore magistrates who were determined to convict them. Patrick Henry rode fifty miles to defend them, and the following account is given of his performance—it was more than aspee6h—on tbeoccusion. He entered the court-house while tho prosecuting attorney was reading the In dictment. He was'n stranger to most of the spectators, and being dressed iu coun try manner, his entrance excited no re mark. When tho prosecutor hud finish* ed his brief .opepiug, the new comer took the indictment, and glancing-at it with an expression of puzzled incredulity, be gan to speak in the tone.of a man who had heard something too astonishing for belief. “MW if please your worships, I think I heuni road hy lire prosecutor, as I en tered the house, the paper I now hold in my hand. If! have rightly understood, tlie King’s attorney has framed an in dictment' for the purpose of arraigning and punishing by imprisonment these inoffensive persons before the bar of this court for a crime of great magnitude—as disturbers of tire peace. May, it please the court, what did I hear read ? Did I hear it distinctly, or was it a mistake of my own ? Did 1 hear an expression us of crime, these men, whom your wor ships are about to try for misdemeanor, and charged with—with—with what ? Having delivered these words in a halting, broken manner, as if his mind was staggering under the weight of a monstrous idea, he lowered his voice to the deepest bass, and assuming the pro fouudest solemn! ty of manner, answered his own question : “Preaching the Gos pel of the Son of God !’’ Then ha paused.' Every eye was now riveted upon him| and every mind into it for all Ibis was executed us a Kean or a Siddnus would have performed II on the stage—eye, voice, attitude, gesture, ail in accord to produce the utmost possibility of effect. Amid a silence that could be felt, he waved the indictment three times round his head, as though still amazed, sllll uuable to comprehend, the charge. Then lie raised bis hands to Heaven, and In a tone of. pathetic energy wholly indescribable exclaimed; "Great God” ■ At lids point, such was the power of ids delivery, the audience relieved their feelings by. a burst of sighs and tears, The orator continued: “May H please your worships,in a day like this, when truth is about to burst her fetters, when mankind aie about to be aroused to claim their natural and in* alienable rights, when the yoke of op* pfession that hna reached the wilderness of America, and the unnatural alliance .of ecclesiastical and civil power about to bo discovered—at such u period, when liberty, liberty of conscience* la about to wake from her slumberings, and inquire into tho reason of such charges as I find exhibited hero to-day, In this Indict ment.” Here occurred another of his appalling pauses, during which he cast piercing looks at the judge and at tho three clergymen arraigned. -Then re • Burning, he thrilled every hearer by his favorite device of repetition: “If I am not deceived —according to tbe paper I now hold in my baud, thes men are ac cused of preaching the. Gospel of the Son of God!” Ke waved the document three times around his head as though still lost in wonder, and then with tbe same elec tric attitude of appeal to Heaven, he gasp ed, “Great God !’’ This was followed by another burst of feeling from tbe spectators; and again this master of effect plunged Into the tide of his discourse: “May it please your worships, there are periods in the history of man when corruption and depravity have so long debased the human character, that man sinks under the weight of the oppressor's hand, becomes bis servile, his abject slave. Ho licks tfie hand that smites him. He bows in passive obedience to tbe mandates of the despot; and, in this state of servility he receives his fetters of perpetual bondage. But. may it please your worships, such a day has passed* From that period when our fathers left their nativity for these American wilds, from the moment they placed their feet upon the American continent from that moment despotism was crushed, the fetters of darkness were broken, and Heaven decreed that man should be free; free to worship God according to the Bi ble. In vain were all their sufferings and bloodshed to subjugate this New World, if we, their offsprings, must still be oppressed and persecuted. But, may It please your worships, permit me to in quire once more: For what are these meu about to bo tried ? This paper says ; For preaching the Gospel of tho Savior to Adam’s fallen race!” Again he paused. For the third time he slowly waved the indictment round his head; and then turning to thejudges, looking them full in the face, exclaimed with the most impressive effect: "What laws have' they violated?” The whole assembly was now painfully moved aud excited. The presiding Judge ended the scene by saying, "Bherllf, discharge these men.” A Guatki'Ul. Act.—A lire company at Easton, Pa., got upon the roof of a man’s house to play upon tlio flames, a few yards off, aud next day the old follow euod them for trespass.

RY—THE THREE WARNINGS FROM A PEASANT SEER. [From tho Bootou Globe-,] ; There took place on March 12, at Hof burg, the grand palace of the Em peror Francis Joseph of Austria, an event perhaps unequalled in the recent annals of European royalty. What gave rise to it was the visit an old Transylvanian peasant named Herker Visaoky had paid three days before to the emperor. The peasant and his sov ereign wore old acquantances, and a very peculiar link existed between the two. Their connection dated from the year in which the Emperor’s second brother, the ill-starred Archduke .Fer dinand Maximilian, was on the eve of his departure for Mexico. A week or two previous to that event, Visacky, covered with dust and bear ing every trace of extreme fatigue, de manded to see his Majesty without de lay. During the interview the old man told him that he had travelled all the way from Transylvania on foot to Vienna because he had had a strange vision in regard' to the Emperor’s brother, the Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian. He said he had seen in his vision, the latter in a foreign coun try’, standing up before n file of soldiers, who were shooting at him. Herker Visaoky added that he had repeatedly had other visions of important events, which had afterwards turned out to bo literally true. Francis Joseph, like most Hapsburgs, is superstitious, and the words of the old Transylvanian peasant made a deep impression on him. He thanked Herker Visacky, made him a, liberal present, and asked him to visit him again if he had any thing further to communicate. Whether Francis Joseph communi cated the vision ,of the old Transylvani an peasant to his enthusiastic brother or not is unknown ; but certain it is that lie received a second visit from Herker Visacky in the sping of 18UC, immediately previous to the breaking out of the war between Prussia and Germany. The peasant predicted to him in the most impressive language and with many startling details the issue of the impending campaign. The Emperor listened respectfully to the, old' man, but did not heed his warn ing. It may bo imagined that he look ed upon Herker Visacky aa a seer when his predictions a few weeks afterward were verified, and still more so when his unfortunate brother Maximilian, in the following year, fell dead under the bullets of Juarez’s soldiers at Quereta- After the second visit Francis Jo seph did not hear anything further from the peasant” until the Bth of March last. On this occasion the old peasant said that ho had seen in anoth er vision a Prince of the Imperial House, as Regent of tho Empire, open ing the Austrian Parliament; that the Prince had been hailed as tho liberator of the country, and had pledged him self to rule it thenceforth in a truly liberal spirit. This 'Prince, he added, was married to a low-born woman, and for some time past had been in Vienna without the Emperor’s knowledge.— Francis Joseph was startled. He sent for tho Chief of tbe Secret Police of Vienna and asked .him to find out whether or not the Archduke Henry, who it is well known is married to an actress of very humble descent, and who in consequence is not allowed to live at the imperial court, was secretly in the city. About noon on the Ilth of March, after a two days’ search, the Emperor was informed that the Arch*- duke had been for several weeks incog nito at a private house in Wioden suburb. This added to the Emperor’s agita tion, and ho at once sent for the Arch duke Henry, his cousin. What occur red next is not accurately known, but after a brief and angry conversation between the two Hapsburgs the ser vants in the anteroom were startled by a noise like that of two persons engaged in a scuffle, mingled with loud curses. The door was suddenly torn open, the Emperor appeared with his face flushed crimson with anger, and dragged out the Archduke Henry, whoso nose was bleeding profusely. There could bo no doubt but that the Emperor and Ids Arcliducal cousin had been fighting.— Before the servants were able to recover from their amazement the Archduke had made his exit from the ante-room and the Emperor had returned to his cabinet, where lie remained for several lion s afterward. .Next day the ser vants who had'hitherto done duty in tho imperial ante-room were sent to one of tlio Emperor’s castles in Dalma tia, no doubt to prevent them from divulging tlio scandalous affair. But it lias leaked out nevertheless, and' tho people of Vienna say that ever since Eibenyl in 1800, wounded tho Emperor with a knife in the neck, Francis Jo seph lias been subject to sudden and uncontrollable ebullitions of terrible anger, and that on such occasions ho will nt once cyme from words to blows. THE STORY OF MISS HOWARD, A REMINISCENCE OP NAPOI.KON. A melancholy interest attaches to tho fate of Miss Howard, whoso name is hotter known titan the circumstances of her life. Tito story is given in detail by Griscelli, is as follows: On a night of such a fog as they have iu Tjomlon'a man was walking' ur> and down the Haymnrkci. His imigth was some Uco feet and several incites; nc v-'ttc tltioic waisted, short-legged, witli a pallid face, small eyes, mustaches, buttoned to the nook, carrying in his hand a loaded cane, and without any hat. The passers-by might have taken him for a policeman. Suddenly a door gave en trance to a lady elegantly dressed. The man exclaimed: “Hallo, madamo; alone so into and in such bad weather ?’’ Without any invitation ho followed the lady, who, arriving in her parlor and thinking him a civil policeman, offered him two shillings. “Madame ! . Money to me !’’ “And who are yon?” “I am the Prince Louis Napoleon." Next day the conspirator of Strasburg and Boulogne, the escaped from the Fortress of Ham, recalled himself to the memory of his followers by sending them some English gold with which to still conspire against the Government that had twice left him his life. From this day the misery which.had over whelmed the son of Admiral Verhuel was driven away by the hank notes of Miss Howard. While he was President' ho had called Miss. Howard to Paris and had taken for her a house, No. 11 Hue do Ciry. Miss Howard, who had given 8,000,000 of francs to Napoleon at the moment of his elevation, was con" sidered, and considered herself, as the future Empress. But the daughter of Albion counted without him who “when ho speaks, lies; when lie is si lent, idols.” One day Napoleon sent Miss Howard to Havre in company with hisacebra-. plice, Mocquart, promising to come and see her upon the Sunday’. Satur day ho married Mile, de Montijo.— Taking iter tea the morning of the day when she should receive the visit of him who owed everything to her, Miss Howard read of the marriage in the Monitor Official. Precipitately leaving the Hotel Frascati, she engaged a spe cial train and reached her home in Paris, where she saw the strangest spectacle. Furniture, cushions, papers, notes, letters, contracts some were broken, others emptied, others stolen. Piotri, warned by a despatch from Mocquart, had gone to No. 11 Rue gle Ciry. Ho was able to hoar, and others heard like him, the insulted English woman call Napoleon, assassin, swindler and robber. Next day upon her awak ing Miss Howard was saluted by Ames Fould and Fieury with the title of Countess of Beauregard. At the same they gave her the deeds of ownership to a property bearing this name, situ ated upon the route to Versailles Several months'later the new counloss left France and established herself in Florence, where she built a splendid palace, upon the banks of the Arno.* But ten years after ennui seized her, and she wished to again see Paris. Every day when Napoleon and tho Empress came from the Tuilories Miss Howard showed herself in a superb equipage and dazzling toilet. Rumor said that tho Empress was. furious.— Some days after a performance at the Italiens, during which the English woman, covering and occupying a box directly in front, had amused herself by eyeing through an opera glass the woman who hud stol.cn her ’*Poleon»” Miss Howard was found suffocated in her bed. WHY PEOPLE ARE POOR. Gail Hamilton says that ‘in a country like this poverty la a presumption of de fect.'’ We copy from one of her articles In tho Independent as follows: * Whatdoth binder any man from earn ing his own living? Illness may come ; sudden calamity may full. Against those every energy may be powerless, but apart from Ibis, itis t«bo assumed that he who fulls docs so because he lacks wisdom ami uot opportunity. And the same weak ness which prevented him from grasping the opportunity prevents him from keep; ing hold of it after it is put into his hand. Once In a while, once in a great while, a timely succor avails In a moment of tem porary weakness or averts tho conse quence of a mistake, and-tho man starts ahead at a swinging pace. But pfteuer the results seem to indicate that it is of very little use to help people who cannot help 'themselves. Tho kingdom of pau perism is within them. The very cause that makes them poor keeps them poor. It is not that society bears down bard upon them. It is that--they arosulf-in dulgout. If you see u wfdow aud five children shiverlngovera few embers you pity them, aud you must send them coal; but you cannot help feeling a wrathful contempt at knowing that they ail went to the photographer’s yesterday and had their pictures taken, after buying a cou ple of twenty-five cent brooches on tho way to adorn themselves with. The very things that you yourself would hesitate to do, on account of the expense, people who are partially dependent on your charity will do without hesitation. Where you will practice a natural, cheer ful, unthinking self-denial, they will praetlee an equally cheerful and unthink ing self-iudulgonce. Tho remnants of broad that you dry In the oven and save for future use they throw away* The fragmentary vest sleeve that you fashion into a fiat-iron holder, they put into tho rag bag, aud’buy now cloth for llieir holders. Where you riao at half-past six, they lie till half-past seven. Where you walk, they ride. Where you pray, aud watch and strive to do your .work thoroughly, they are content with any thing that will answer.

A Into unmbftr of tlie Harrisburg .Pa triot made reference to tho ceremonies observed at the dedication of the Harris burg Cemetery, on tho 30th of Septem ber, 1545. Tho Rev. Wm. 11. DaWltt, D. D., now dead, delivered the address ou the occasion. Mr. DeWltt was a man of great eloquence, and we ?(3-publ!in his ieoling ■>>> it*.' • o>i:- fOßtisf- wlil peruse ibsui wit*• and profit. .M.Ds’JViU &-.id • It seeme to mo peculiaily befitting and proper, that these grounds, so beautifully located and so beautifully prepared, should be set apart as a repository for our dead with appropriate solemnities, and that tbe occasion should be improved in calling up those solemn and tender usso* ciatious, Which are so intimately con nected with the burying ground of The earthly remains of tho departed. Henceforth this is to be no ordinary place. To-day we sot apart these grounds from the common purposes of life, and devote them as the abode of the dead. Let them, from this time, bo aucred to sorrow, to affection and to memory. Within tho shade of ibis grove will be oftened assembled mournful and weep ing groups, bearing with them the pre cious remains of departed friends, seek ing for them some sacred and hallowed depository, 'till that morning that shall claim their redemption from the tomb. Hero will the sigh of the disconsolate and the moan of tho anguished heart be often heard. And here, when time has softened grief, will the mourner often wander in the stillness of the evening, to commune with tbe remembrance of de parted affection, and mingle his plaintiff' sighs with the low whispers of tho sum mer’s breeze. These sods, so fresh and green, upon which the dews of Heaven have io gently fallen, and sparkled in the glow of the morning’s sun, will be watered with the tears of the bereaved, as they weep over tho graves of those they loved. . Here will affection and friendship rear their monuments, to per petuate the memory of the departed, and from tho connecting link between tho visible and the' In visible—the material and tho spiritual—the temporal and eter nal. Here, brethren, will soon be found our last abode ou earth. We ure, this day, preparing the place four our own graves, where these repose in hope, when the cares, the toils and the sor rows of earth have ended—and when our spirits have winged their flight to other worlds. The stage of human existence will, In deed, continue to bo thronged with ac tors. But generation after generation will disappear from the busy pursuits of life, and here And their narrow and lone ly dwellings—dust shall mingle with its kindred dust. The habitations of the dead shall become mure populous than the living—and the grave will continue insatiable, until the time of its destruc tion shall come, when they that dwell in the dust of the earth ahull sing —ft r their dew shall he as the dew'of herbs. - My hearers, there is a propriety in selecting retired and appropriate grounds like these, and beautifying them for the abode of the dead —for the grave is-the connecting link, at least, in our associa tions with the spirits of (hose that have departed this world. These grounds, which we devote this day ;\a the abode of the dead, aro pecu liarly favorable, both from their situation and their allotments, for.chcrishingthese sacred and endearing associations. They are safe Irom that rude invasiou.to which those places of interment, within the precincts of populous cities and towns are subject. Already the rapid increase of population in these have leveled many grave yards and converted Into places for dwellings and mails of business and trade, the once silent abodes of the dead But here wo nml not /ear such ou croachmunls. 'fhis spot will bo safe from such rude invasions. Here we may bury our dead, without the fear that their dust ahull be disturbed. According to tho arrangements that have been mado each family will have its own allotment, and there, aide by aide, they sleep from generation to gen eration, the parents ami their children. Ami when yeusa and centuries, perhaps, have rolled away, the historian, who then records the names and deeds of those who shall first bo interred within these grounds, will bo able to afllrm— “ And tholr graves remain with us even to this day.” • Tho hour is coming in which all that are In their graves shall hear the voice of tho Son of God, and shall come forth. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the lust trump—for tiie trumpet shall sound—and the dead shall bo raised in corruptible, and we shall bo changed. Dor this corruption must put on lucor ruptlou, and this moral must put on im mortality, and then shall be'brougbt to pass the saying that is written—Death is swallowed up in victory. Tho hour is coming. It is true, in deed, that though It is more than eigh teen hundred years since this announce ment was first made, the dead still sleep In their graves ; but wo must remember that Qod is not alack concerning his promises, ns some men count slackness, for with tho Lord a thousand years Is as one day, and one day ns a thousand years. Yes, brethren, the hour is coming. The reign of death over our race may bo per petuated yot for a long time for aught we know. Wo may descend into the silence of the sepulchre—generations after gen erations may here sleep beneath these sods, and the black winds of a hundred winters sweep over their solitary graves; bub the hour will come ; the voice of the archangel and the trump of God will be heard. The dead will hero them. The sleepers will wake up from their long, long sleep, arise from their clay-clod beds, and come forth from the bosom of corruption in the vigor of immortality, it is, my brethren, in the faith and hope of this event wo dig our graves and deposit our dead, and build their tombs. Wo plant with the dark cypress the llowors that bloom in the spring around the lowly dwellings of tho departed— the one as tho emblem of our sorrow, tho other as tho cmblomof our faith aud hope that •'Hnrlnu will yet visit tho moulder lug hint; when •• Ou tho cold cheek of iloulh, mallua ami roses Khali hlund, Aiul beauty immortal whUo from tho tomb," ■ ltllj,< ; N Ot A ■■ a oo 5 i)0 050 7 co n oo t» w a* oo U •* a5O, 0 50 750 850 I.i 50 22 .50 tf7 50 2 months 100 750 BSC 05017 50 25 00 42 50 a “ 500 H5O 050106030 00 80 Co| 50 00 O’ •* 7 50 10 00 12 50 15 UP 2S 00 40 00 75 CO 1 year, |l2 00|l5 00 20 00 25 1.0 40 00} 75 00(100 10 Twelve Hues constitute ft square.
