THE "UNSURPASSED" HYMIV.
In the New Englitnder for Aukusl, 1860. I>r. Bacon
pronounces the following exquisite hymn -unsur
passed in the English or any other language," and
adds that -perhaps it is as near perfection as any un
inspiring language can be." It is usually ascribed to
Hillhou-e, the poet, i. e., James A. Hillhouse, but, ac
cording to Dr. Bacon, it was written by bis younger
brother, Augustus L. Hillhouse, who died near Bans
in March. 1869:
Trembling before thine awful throne,
o Lord 1 in dust my sins I own,
Justice and mercy for my life
Contend.' Oh! smile and heal the strife.
The Saviour smiles! upon my soul
New tides of hope tumultuous roll—
His voice proclaims my pardon found,
Seraphic transport wings the sound.
Earth has a joy unknown m heaven—
The new-born peace of sin forgiven !
Tears of such pure and deep delight,
Ye Miigela! never dimmed your sight.
Ye saw of old, on chaos rise
The beauteous pillars of the skies;
Yc know where morn exulting springs,
And evening folds her drooping wings.
Bright heralds of the Eternal Will,
Abroad his errands ye fulfill;
Or throned in floods of beamy day,
Symphonious iu his presence play.
Loud is the song—the heavenly plain
Is shaken with the choral strain—
And dying echoes, floating far.
Draw music from each chiming star.
But I amid your choir shall shine,
And all your knowledge shall be mine;
Ye oil your harps must learn to hear
A secret chord that mine will bear.

Death of Rev. Samuel W. Price
]ti Wiliiainsport, on Monday even
ing, the Btii inst., liev. SAMUEL W.
PRICE, in the 32d year of his ago.
Death reigns through every portion
of the inhabited earth, i\o mortal is
exempt trom bis fatal shafts.
It is our puinlul task now to announce
tite very sudden demise of the Rev.
Samuel Wesley Price, pastor of the
Pine Street Methodist Church. He
was attacked with a severe chill, which
developed Typhoid Pneumonia, on
Thursday the 4th iiist . aud yielded up
lii.-i spirit to God at halt past seven
o'clock Monday evening, the Sin inst ,
in the loth yea: of bis ministry.
Seldom has it fallen to our lot to
register the depart ure ot a young Min
ister so universally popular, so gener
ally useful, and s<. devotedly faithful,
iiis crowded congregations—often be
yond the capacity of the church—the
members won to Christ, ami the gen
erous esteem and Christian affection of
his charge, bear ample testimony.
At the clijse of u series of' meetings
extending th rough some five or six
weeks, borne down by incessant labor*,
he fell a sacrifice to liis worir. jfe
"counted r.ot his life dear to iiimsei.."
so that he might win souls to Christ.
But he fell begirt with 'tin * ii .n
--inor of God," with tiie note i>i i,-..>r\
over the lust .enemy, frequent it enun
ciated, until it trembled i.t :• .k-n :e
--cents upon his pallid ip> win - ..
ger tliii under tin : control o! In- e ill.
He declared that thcG -m i a I n 1, in
had preached to others was now ins
firm suppoit," that "underneath him
were tin*. Everlastii g Alans, ' tiiat Je
sus was precious to ins soul. And he
said at a very early stage of his dis
ease, "If 1 die, I am ready." And
such from Jiis life is Ihe concurrent
testimony of those who knew him
best.
Lie read the burial service at the
grave of a most estimable christian
lady, on Sabbath. thcHlst ult..preached
twice and held watch meeting the
same night, led his class on Wednesday
p. m., and prayer meeting at night,
and thus closed the active duties of his
ministerial life Some days prcviou
lie calmly gave directions inspecting
his funeral and the management of his
children, on the presumption of ins
death. On his way to the funeral,
just referred to, he remarked to an ac
companying Minister, - What ~,, afflic
tion it would be, if I should die. and leave
my wife and four little children." But
left them lie has, left them in the care
of One who "is a Father to the lather
less and a Judge of the widows" and
who has said, "Leave Hl3- fatherless
children, I will preserve them, and let
thy widows trust in me." "Blessed
are the dead who die in the Lord."—
May this example be sanctified to the
good of this community. Does it not
devolve on each to examine himself
candidly amidst the ravages of death,
as to whether he can say, and indeed,
until he can say, "If 1 die, 1 am ready.

Death of the Oldest Inhabitant.
The eldest inhabitant probably in
Pennsylvania,died on Sunday morning,
the "2-fth of December, at Morgantown,
Berks county. Iler name was Martha
Barefoot, or rather Patty Barefoot, as
she had been familiarly known for the
past three quarters of a century. She
was born in Amity twp , Berks county
on the 15th of February, 1759, and at
the time of her decease was one hun
dred and six years, ten months and
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 31, 1866.
nine days old. The names of her
parents were Samuel and Jane Bare
loot, two ot the early settlers of Amity
township. In the church register of
the Morlatton Episcopal Church at
Douglassville, we find a record ot Putt's
baptism, by Rev Alexander Murray, an
English Missionary, and at the time
pastor of the congregation there.—
'ibis baptism took place on the loth of
September, 1773, when she was in her
20th year.
When quite a young girl, Patty Bare
foot removed from Amity township, to
Morgantown, and became an inmate ot
the family of John Morgan, Esq., after
whom the village of Morgantown was
named, and who held large grants of
land in the neighborhood by letters
patent from Win. Penn. Morgan was
a soldier ot the revolutionary war, and
Patty, whose recollection of events of
her early life was very clear and vivid,
was in the habit ot relating many
anecdotes, in several of which he fig
ured as tle hero.

I WON'T.
or THE AUTHOR OP "AUNT HETgl's SITE."
Children, boys especially, like to say
"I won't." Perhaps they may be glad
to know tha: there is a right place to
say it. There are times when it is the
best word to use.
One of the right places for a boy to
say "I won't" right up and down, with
out any politeness of tone or manner,
is when ho is tempted by other boys
to do what he knows to be wrong.
On such an occasion let a boy come
out with "I won't" full and clear,
sharp enough to cut through ail oppo
siiion, and namely enough io fill the
tempter with confusion ; tor a bad boy
is easily silenced, it one who knows
what is right will st nd up to him and
face him down resolutely. The Bible
tells us that it we resist the devil he
will flee from us. O' course, then, a
bad boy*, who cannot be supposed to
have as much cunning ami courage as
the devil, wcuhi give up if manfully
met, and resisted.

"Oh .' ves. \\ here are you going T
"To Vi iliow Brook, and, Harry, we

"But i must ask leave at home ''
"But you see this is different, lie
snail In* gone oniy as long as we are
awav at school, and nobody will know
we have been anywhere else. Sam
Molton says it will be capital fun "
"Is be going ?"
"Yes, he knows where lie can get
i ii °
a boat.
"1 promised my father that I would
not go with Sain Molton. because he
swears."
"You can be good yourself. Bo that
won't hurt you? You can take care
of yourself, can't you ?"
"Why, yes, 1 guess I can. But then
1 promised."
"Well, yon needn't go with hint, (in
wili me. 1 mil not a bit afraid ol'being
hurt.
If S should deceive, my father, he
ui I never trust me again He said
to me the other day never try to de
euive me, Harry. It you should, it
would be a dagger in my heart 1 So 1
must ask him if I may go."
"But we don't wan't anybody to
know it. And nobody will, unless you
go and blab, and Harry, there needn't
be any fuss about it. Vou are to go
with me and have nothing to do with
Sam. Molton. It. is a capital day for
trout, aud wo shall have a sail, and be
at home just at the time we cume front
school."
"1 wish I could go," said Harry, as
this tempting picture of pleasure was
presented, and it somehow seemed to
him a little different from planning out :
a regular excursion unknown to bis 1
parents.
We cannot exactly tell how. or why, ;
it seemed so, but we know hoys, when ;
they want to do a thing very much,
Itave away of pretending that their
parents did not forbid exactly this very
thing. Harry tried to think that as i
his father let him go off and stay du- j
ring school hours, and let him do as he I
pleased during the recess, and as this
afternoon was only a longer recess, lie
might just play at Willow-Brook as
well as in the school grounds. What
difference was there ?
Harry knew well enough what made
his play hours at school tight. They
were allowed hy his father; and what
would make this afternoon expedition
wrong ? It was not allowed hy iiis
father. But lie wanted so much to go
to Willow Brook that he tried not t>
see the rigio way el. ally, and then his
mind became confused, and when Ben
said, "Come, Harry, just settle it, and
meet us at the corner as long before
two o'clock as you can get off. We
shall have grand fun and no harm
: done.'' He was just ready to say he
: would go, when he felt himself held
hack by something hard and strong as
a grasp of iron.
Jt was the chain of habit wh'ch
held him, the habit of life long obedi
ence, that chain which every child
needs to be bound with for iiis own
safety. It held him painfully tight
while, the principle of obedience was
I not yet (piite strong enough.
He dared not ditmbey his father
outright by going off without 'permis
sion, and witii Sam Moiton, too, with
whom he had forbidden him to engage
HI any plan of amusement.
As Ben was turning off, llarrv said,
• I guess 1 can't go, Ben, at ieast with
; out asking leave."
'■Oli ! nonsense' That will blow up
the whole plan, and Sam would be mad
i enough. I hat is too mean to sneak
; out now."
'■[ think it would be meaner to go
sneaking off as if we were goin<' to
| steal "
"Come, you are in for it now, and it
you try to get off, I'll tell aii the boys
what :t regular baby and sneak you
are. \ou shall go now, i tell you that
right up and down."
"Now Ben White, I'M tell vou right
up and down, once tor all, j\ront."
-Well, you are a pretty fellow, 1
declare, ami polite into the bargain.
Alter you have kept me here half an
h in.', you up and say yen won't go"
• Yes, and I rep. at if, 1 won't."
Ami Harry Burton turned and walk
eo away t bis pleasant home, whose
wholesome laws, though sorely tempi
ed, iie had not broken that day.
As Harry was running into the vard
he met his lather walking on thepiazza,
and u he was bounding past life father

liar ly examined it with delighted
eyes. There was on each side of the
handle a narrow strip of silver. On
one of these was neatly engraved "Har
ry Lorton."
"Oh, father! why didn't you have
something engraved on the other strip
of silver?"
■'Harry, run in the house and see
how much time we have before dinner "
Harry soon returned, and reported
half an hour.
- We shall have time for a short walk.
Put your knife in your pocket."
"Why. father, where are we going?"
"Come, come, we have no time to
lose."
A tew minutes brisk walking brought
them to a store, into which they walk
ed, and Mr. Lorton addressing a young
man, presented the knife, saving he
wanted a little more engraving done,
lie wrote on a bit of paper, and the
engraver retired with it. On his re
turn, Mr. Lorton gave the knife to
ilarrj*, who read with surprise the in
seription "I won't, I860."
The engraver laughed. "A most
curious motto, sir. I thought that was
one of the naughty words, and that
boys were whipped for using it."
"It has been lately discovered," re
plied Mr. Lorton, "that in certain cases
it is the veiy best word that can he
used."
The merry twinkle in Harry's tyes,
and the expression of Mr. Lorton's
face convinced the engraver that it
was a pleasant affair, and he remarked,
with a bow and a smile, that he doubt
ed not there were very good reasons
fur so singular an inscription on a bo\*'s
pocket companion.
'•I shall keep this knife, always, fath
er, said the gratified boy.

Franklin and his Qig.
It is now more than a century since
! Benjamin Franklin, Postmaster Genc
; ral of the American Colonies, by ap
i pointment of the Crown, set out in his
I old gig to make an official inspection
lof the principal routes. It is about
ninety years since he held the same
office under the authority of Congress
and when a small folio (still preserved
in the Department at Washington,)
containing hut three quires of paper,
lasted as hisaecout book for two years.
If a Postmaster-General now were to
undertake to pass over all the estab
lished routes, it would take six years
of incessant railroad travel at the rate
of one hundred and twenty-five miles
daily, while if he were to undertake
the job in an "old gig." he would re
quire a lifetime for its performance.
Instead of a small folio, with its three
quires of paper, the postoffice accounts
consume every two years three thou
sand of the largest ledgers, keeping
upwards of a hundred clerks constant
ly employed in recording transactions
with more than thirty thousand con
tractors and other persons.
