THE Original New Orleans :Minstrels gave an entertainment in Mercur Hall on Friday evening beforeone of the „largest audiences ever assembled . therein. To say that this is one of the best troup4 that ever visited our place, is but simple truth. To say that each and every vidual member of the troupe is an:artist . in his speciality aud. a gentleman in de -I portment, is an expression abounding in truthfulness. That they gave an enter tainment. which gave their audience - a large amount of pleasure.ami enjoyinent,i is a statement that will be- Voucked for by all who had, the pleasure of being . pres ent. The music rendered by their ,band, during the street Parade, was pronounced by all who heard it as the finest ever given in our village by h band connected with a like organization—or any other—for that matter—while the music furnished by the orchestra during the evening, was well worth_ the 'idea of admission. _The joirck nd "gagsThwere all new, and tree from vulgarity. Everything coiitained in the programme was excellently well per formed and heartily encored, while ilia log dancing of . Messrs.

"Mischief in the Middle Ages," by Fah', abeth Robins, is so engaging an article .on so engaging a subject, that everybody_ will read it. Mr. Whittier contributes a thoroughly characteristic and therefore . excellent poem "in -Memory" of Mr. Fields ; and Edgar Fawcett has a poem on "Wounds."

This is the season of exuberant life. Life throbs Lin its richest fulness in grass and leaves and flowers. • Every bird. as it leaps from -twig to twig, or floats in the, radiant air, or sings in full-throated ease, is instinct with the intensest spirit of.life. Juno is a perpetual rehearsal on a Small scale Of the .original work of creation ; it is .a voice cryrg in the wilderness of un belief and- sin There is a God who bas made all things- and by whom all things consist." "Prepare 'ye the way of the tord, make his paths straight." • And yet this season of• lifp_ is by no means exempt from the blight r f death. It-is appointed unto men to die in June as well as in December. Death casts the malign shadow of his w into' over the roses, as surely as over the now. "Leaves have their time to fall, And flowers to wither at-the Korth wind's breath; And stars to fade; but all; ,4 Thou bast all seasons for thine owe', 0 Death t" SO, in the very heart of thi(beautiful June, we are come to bury out of our sight one who %Vas marked by a fulness of intellectual life and of physical activity, but who wan compelled to yield to the mandate : "Return, ye ebildren of men?" In the height of his manhood—in the de- Veloping energy of his perivera—in the sweet hariesting of professional smelts— in the full_tide of warldly honor—in the enjoyment of the fondest love and increas ing ',attractions of his 'wife and children, stl be has pasi away ; dying - .as as lamp burns out; &slit rose drops Its petals on the grass, as the sunset fades from the darkt ening sky. .ilia body is, here, but - .the animating spirit "has gone beyond ' our sight into that ns,pitio -world that, Mr rounds us like an atmosphere. We may cry, like thnancienta, ". Vale, Vale, Valet" but no response ofliving love returns to g 'e our - stntinin ars and igearning hearts. No wonder the Hebrews called that silent world--" Sheol "—or 'the Greeks that in visible placs—" Hades "1 Wo hear our dead no mote—we see them no more. We Must needs live without them. - It may be days or years before Hades open:vita gates to receive our spirits—a weary road may stretch betreen as and them, but. "one night waits ifor all, and once for all the way of deatli'must be trod." It will tot be long, after all, before we mingle with the throng Of the departed. , "4 fowlmore year! shall roll, A for more seasonsemuo ; And lie shalt be with them that meat, Asian, within the tomb." Tbis thought may come like a chill over our ardent :spirits ; it may cast a diftinal shndovr over.. the leaves and flowers of June ; but yet it may be a salutary and lanctifying thought. God -means us' to reflect upon it when he sends these dark, providencesinto our families and.commu nities. The 'voice of death repeats over the exemplary prayer, of Moses : "So teach us to number oar days, that we may apply,our hearts unto wisdom." • Death awaits all men. Ic all the long bistorY of the .world but tWo men have escaped death. But notice, that, though the fact of death be certain, the time of death is absolutely uncertain. Isaac said, " I know not the day of my death," and all men can reecho this truth. We may have yen"rs to live, or only days and hours. The Ando*, of the death-angel may be already upon our hearts. The fingers of death may be even now upon our pulses, and the chill creeping along our blood. Who knows? Hence no man should boast of to-morrow .; it may never exist for him; its light may fall- upon his closed - eye-lids and marble face. I. cannot but call up this reflection as I stand here this afternoon. Hero lies a young,man—only forty-one; who, when I first met him one Spring evening in To wanda eleien years ago, was • bright-eyed . --bright-faced—strong of 'body -fa vigor ous, vigilant, live man. ,I. met him in the office of our friend, Gee. Montanye. They were two . gifted and i most promiSing• young men; and both 'capable of much distinction in•their profession. - Now both are gone,-and L who seemed tifi, have the poorest lease on life, have been permitted to speak over their' lifeless bodies. So 'it is, oh !so often. ." Then shall two be in. the field ; the one shall be taken and the other left. Two women shall be'grinding at the >mill ; the one shall be taken, and the other left." We, cannot explain it. God is sovereign id recalling life, as he is in giving it. •We can only, say as to him: "The. will Of .God be done_!". - We can onlyhy as to ourselves': "Be ye also re. y t". t • • ..: ' . At . . hen notice again, that, though it is ap pointed unto men once to die, the appoint ment is made by our , gracious Lord, and therefore the time must be the best Hue., I make no doubt of GAS. We ttecomplfsh,' as au hireling, our day: The shadow falls from the baud of one heavenly Father, neither too soon nor too late. We finish outivork. So God sees it, if we do not. Thisifriend died in t.l'e midst of his career, • cut off prematurely, we may feel disposed to say. No—no. He .worked hard ,and did , his work well. Ho' toiled upward, relying rpon his clear brain and his strong hand. He made himself ; he made a pros-. perous career and a happy home. He lived justly - and had a kind Word for those ho met. His earthly- task ho finished.better than do many who live twice his genre. The world and his friends have only kind and loving words for him: - He has passed into the hands of the God who, as he said, had always been good to hint, and who, he tr;.sted, -would tak care cif him.. And• -we cannot but hopethai„ the 'turning of his heart in his las 'days to religious thoughts was the retru of a weary child to his God and Savio r.. There is one othe ; thought. If death 1. 1 be the common lot, then wel need not fear lost the. death of - our friends may-ever whelm us. Think j of the dying _that gore on in our world ! Think that every second some soul goeS forth into eternity ! Think. of the broken househohls, the lonely: and 'weeping wives,' the sinking mothers and defenceless. children ! . It. 'is a picture to make angels 'I weep. :Yet somehow the world moves on through it *ll. The *families aro provided for ; the heavy hearts . are soothed ; the children find a heavenly Father..to take care of them. •It is one of the wonders of jGod's love and .grace ; and: it illustrates the vital, recuperative - power there' is in the human Spirit. So, dear friends, despair not ! Your heavenly Father careth for you. Lift your weeping eyes to consider the flowers and birds of this tweet June ! God made them _and God clothes and - feedii them: Are ye not much better' than they '.' Trust in God in this great aftlie. tion !

By direction of ushers the congregation passed out rapidly and viewed for the latit time the face of him whom they had re spected and loved, as ho lay peaceful ly sleeping in a natural position; sur rounded by flowers. Beautiful flowers woven into'garlands and crosses, reposed upon the casket which was of rich mate al, but plain in design and trimmings. Ifs - .occupant was as in life neatly arrayed, nothing being in conflict with his well known tastes.

With teats of regret the sad parting took place, and yet there is comfort in the thought that he was 'pre pared for the change that must inevitably come to all.

You lneardown one hundred and " siXty- Sic fet - : Ap the bottom of ;the ravine ; you can:see the_hrook,flowingalong for a few rods only, then it disappears heneath the over-hanging rocks.and trees. - From the top of the bridge the deep gorge it self is almost, entirely obscured by the -\ foliage of the many trees that grow along its sides. ' Watkins Glen, like many other- of our places of interest, iis'becoming the abode of money hunters While" looking at the stupendous rocks in the Cathedral, our eye falls upon an enterprising photo graphers apparatus: It may be all well enough,to have one's picture taken, with a ledge of rock two hundred: and fifty feet high in the back ground ; but when one is looking for wild- scenery he does not care to middle with out of plaim cameras. The picturesque and romantic' Glen is be coming so laid out with walks and vari ous schemes for the comfort of lazy peo ple that the rugged grundeur of the rocks is to a great extent taken away. Watkins' Glen is a place of much inter est to . the Geologist ; he has 'good oppor- tunities for• studying the rocks. From their condition here one can observe vari ous things which are of value to the sci ence of Geology. The rocks here belong to what is known a :4 the portage epoch,- the Churning period, the upper Devonian age, mid the Paleozoic time. They are mostly sandstones, and contain largo number of fossil plants, and animal!. In the high ledges of rock one gets a good idea of bow the rocks were formed, layer upon layer. All along the ravine one sees where the water is weiring away the rocks. Many feet above the water there are places where the water has gullied out the rozka as it is new doing_ below. This is one of the methods geologists use for recovering time. Find out bow much the water wears awayin a year, and, you can tell approximately how long it lies taken for the ravine to beformed. Upon the whole, Watkins Glen is a very delightful and interesting place. • Utica, Jane 14, 1881. T.-D. B.
