SNOW- BOUND. The following is from Whittier's new poem, "Snow-Bound," and doubtless refers to Miss Elizabethr Whittier, who died last year As one who held herself a part Of all she saw, and let her heart Against the household bosom lean, Upon the motley-braided mat Our youngest and our dearest sat, Liftingber large, sweet, asking eyes, NpW.: - bathed within the fadeless green And holy peaceof Paradise. 0, looking from some heavenly hill, Or from the shade of saintly palms, Or silver reach of river calms Do those large eyes behold me still? With me one little year ago: The chill weight of the winter snow For months upon her grave has lain; And now, when summer south-winds ' blow, And brier and harebell bloom again, I tread the pleasant paths we trod, _ I see the violet-Sprinkled sod. '- - Whereon sheleaned, too frail andtmiak, The hillside flowers she loved to seek, Yet following me where'er I went. With dark eyes full of love's.content. The birds are glad; the brier-rose fills The air with sweetness; all the hills Stretch green to June's unclouded skyi. But still Thvait with ear and eye For something gone which should be nigh, A loss in all familiar things, In flower that blooms, and bird that sings. And I t dear heartr remenibering thee Am not richer than ofold? Safe in thy immortality, What change can reach the wealth I hold?• What change can ma; "the - pearl and gold Thy love hath left in trust with .. ? And while in life's late afternoo Wheretcool Midlong tfie sh : owsgeow, I walk to meet the night that soon Shall shape and shadow overflow. I cannbt feelthat thott art far; • Since near at need'the , angels are; • when'the'stineet gatesimbar, Shall Diet see thee waiting stand, And white fgaingthe evtaing . star, The weleonie ofthy beckohing hand? SCIE OF' THE-BIBLE. BY ALFRED NEVIN, IL D. From some men's.qp.astions more can be learned than from other .men's answers. From some-men's silence more instruction can be,deri - Yed than from other men's speech. Indeed, it has been become a proverb, that it is evidence of Wisdom to hnow when to keep quiet. "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread." The sciolist, whose pride is as great as his ignorance, will express himself freely on subjects on which the profound scholar pre fers to be mute. The one knows, the other does not, that an insufficient explanation of a difficult thing is worse than none. Many a man has lost a cause at the bar by not submitting it without argument to the good sense of the jury. Many a physician has lost the confidence of the public by at tempting too much, or by ,showing in his talk a 7rurt of power of, diagnosis, which reasonable taciturnity might have con cealed. Many a man in entering a gallery of paintings or sculpture, where art has placed ita grandest achievements, has be trayed his utter lack of esthetic cultivation by a boisterons and pretentious manner— the very opposite of that subdued frame which such productions always generate in those who have taste to appreciate them. Many a man, by opening his month out of due,time, has sadly changed the impression Which his appearance:and mien had pre viously made. It was semarked by a distin- guished scholar, in speaking of the Bible, that "there is such fullness in' that book, that oftentimes it says much , by saying nothing, and not only its expres sions, but its silences are teaching, like a dial in which the shadow, as well as the light, infortfis us." Bsautifal and truthful representation ! We are learning—ever learning—not only in the roaring city, bat. also in thenoiseless forest; not only in the excitements of the day, but also in the calm - midnight hour; hot only in the "quiet night" of the beautiful - light, but in the thick darkness that brings worlds to our view, which, but for its gathered curtains, would never have been visible at all; not only in the raging of the storm, bat also in the hush' which precedes it;-and . not onlf in the brilliant saloon, with its cheerful crowd ing throng, but also in the chamber of death, where the corpse of a loved one is lying with a fixedness that seemed. to mock the agony that has been occasioned by its removal. Even so are we ever learning from the pages of inspiration, not only when we gaze upon the high hills on which revelation has poured the effulgence of its beams, but also when we stand and look upon the valleys, and chasms, and blanks, which have been left, and can find no other vehicle for cur feelings than the words to which an Apostle himself was driven, "Oh, the depth,!" The Bible's silence in regard to endorsing the absurd notions of science, which pre vailed in ancient, times is most significant. In Greek and Latin philosophy, the heavens were a solid vault over the earth. The sages. of Egypt held, that the world, was formed by the motion of air and the upward course of flame : Plato, that it was an intelligent being: Empedocles, held that there were two suns; Leucippus, .that the stars were kin dled by their motions, and that they nour ished the sun with their fires. All eastern nations believed that the heavenly bodies exercised a powerful influence over human affairs, often of a disastrous kind. In the Hin doo philosophy, the globe is represented as fiat and triangular composed of seven stories, the whole mass being sustained upon the beads of elephants, who, 'when they shake themselves,cause earthquakes. Mohammed taught that the mountains were created to prevent the earth from moving, and to hold it as by anchors and chains. The "Pathan of theThurch" themselves teach doctrines scarcely less absurd. "The rotundity of the earth is a theory." says Lactantius, "which no one is ignorant enough to believe." How instructive, that,while every ancient system of religion may be overthrown by its false physics, not one of the forty writers of the Bible, most of whom lived in the vicinity of One or other of the nations who held these views, has written a single line that favors them. I like the assumption or silent recognition of God's existence at the beginning of his record. How wise was this, in comparison with what a metaphysical proof would have beep; of : a truth which none but a "fool" can deny, and be only "in his heart," as what he wishes, says Lord Bacon, rather than what he believes I like to read that the Prodigal, though he determined, when be was in a far country, to say to his father, "Make me as one of thy hired - servants," yet did not mention his refusal to expect a child's portion and place when embraced by his welcoming-parenL Why?, Because from this apparently fortuitous omission, "we may learn wherein the true growth iu faith and in humility consists, how he that has grown in these can endure to be fully and freely blest, to accept all even when be most strongly feels that he has forfeited all, :that 'only pride and the'surviving workings .of self righteousness and evil stand in the way of reclaiming every blessing which the fRE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN..: PHILA FT PH S A TUB AN MARCH 17 sinner has lost," but which God is willing and waiting to restore." ' I like to sit at the feet of Paul, as he de scends from the third heaven, and hear him say, he heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful or possible for a man to utter. Some might be disappointed that he bad nothing to communicate, but I am not. I like his silence far better than any de scription that could be given. This is, in tact, the most, animating description that we could receive, just as we have the grandest ionceptioh - of the "mountain's toftinessi bebause it' hidden in the clouds. I Wish to he defeated in every effort to understand futurity. I wish, when I have climbed to the highest pinnacle to which thought can soar, to be compelled to con- Ceis that I have not yet reached the base of the eterlasting hills. There is something surpassingly glorious in this baffling of the imagination. That heaven is inconceiva blells the most august, the most elevating discovery. It tells me that I have not yet the power for enjoying heaven, but this is only to.tell , me that the beholding God ."face to face," the "being forever with the Lord," requires the exaltation ()Cray na ture, and I triumph in the assurance that what is reserved for me pre-supposes my vast advandement in the scale of creation If I had been 'writing a book thatl wished to be very popular, I should have been care ful to,do two things,or one of them. Firstly, I wofild have ministered to human curiosity as much as was in my power. I would have made myself acquainted with the nu merous strange and speculative inquiries which men are ever ready to propose, and have answered them. Or, if this could not have been done, I would not have touched any subject that I could not thoroughly handle - and elucidate. But I find no such disposition on the part of God's amanuen ses. If we come to them with profitless questions, the oracle is dumb. Neither, on the other :hand, d 9 they shun a ,subject, though in preStlnting it clearly enough tote seen, they are tdleave much of in shadow. This independence is very, expressive. It indicates conscious 'strength. It is'not, as is' generally anti - posed, the man who talks much that is independent, but the indi iiduarwho talka little or none. The former shows his felt weakness by reaching out of hirriaelf by conversatinn to find some sup port—the-latter -indicates; by putting forth no such effort, that he is self-reliant. The' holy men of ' old. who spoke and wrote "as they were moved by the Holy Ghost," were not afraid to broach a theme, though aware that many things concerning it could not be' stated. They were bold to tell of Lazarus rising, without throwing in sketches of his experience "out of the body." 'ln this view, if it be necessary for men like ourselves to speak that we may know them; it is also true that it was necessary for God's prophets,"and evangelists, and apostles, to be, in a great measure, silent, that we might - know them.. Had they undertaken to tell us everything, what a different impression would they have made! And how much in harmony with our minds have they acted, by revealing to us all we need know about duty and destiny, doubtless all they knew themselves, and leaving, as we cannot but feel they ought to have left—infinitely more for the explorations, discoveries and delights of the eternal future, in which the path of the just shall shine more and more unto the perfect day ! Ancient Music. ;The dlientombing of Assyrian sculp ture and thes deciphering of Assyrian and Egyptian inscriptions have opened new fields of investigation in • almost every department ofknowledge. Among the branches of science, which have shared in these discoveries,that of music - has beenbenefitedlargely. The accounts f ancient musical instruments were vague,and our ideas especially of Hebrew music were confused, till recently sculp tures and paintings have been brought to light which delineate the ancient mu sical instruments of the early Oriental nations, and in some cases veritable spe cimene have been disenton2bed. Such, for example,is an Egyptian harp founu in Thebes, with its strings yet perfect enough to vibrate again after a silence of 3,000 years. The most recent investigations prove that the parent of all musical science was Assyria. From the Assyrians, the Hebrews and the Egyptians, and ifideld all Eastern nations, derived their knowledge of music. The unveiled monuments show that in the time of Sennacherib music was a highly cul tured art,and must have existed through generations. This polished nation used a harp of twenty-one strings, which ac companied minstrel songs or was borne in the dance. The lyre of tortoise shell, the double pipe, the trumpet drum, and bell were common. Even of the bagpipe representations have been discovered, though none of stringed instruments, like the violin, played with a bow. In delineations of social or worship ing assemblies, musical instruments very like our modern ones have a pro minent place. The Hebrew music at the time of the Exodus was purely Egyp tian; but it was much modified subse quently by association with the Asiatic nations. In the Temple of Jerusalem, according to the Talmud, stood a powerful organ, consisting of a wind chest with ten,holes containing ten pipes, each pipe apable of emitting ten different sounds by. means of finger holes, so that a hundred sounds could be produced by it. It was provided with two pairs of bellows, and ten keys, so thatit could be played with the fingers. According to the Rabbins, it could be heard a great distance from the Temple. —Observer. The Great Panic in Sacramento. Sacramento city was kept in a state of alarm all the night of Sunday, January 21. Some small leaks had bitti discovered in the levee 'near Smith's Gardens, made by gophers (animals about the size of large rats, which are very troublesome to farmers), and also by squirrels and rabbits. A. party of men were engaged in _repairing the mis chief, who found it necessary to send CO the centre of the townloi gunny sacks,at 11 r. M. As the river was very high and there was danger of the levee giving way, it was given out at dark that should such au event take place the alarm would be , given by`ringing the fire bells. The arrival of the messenger was the' signal for a most unparalleled panic. The bells rang and lanterns were soon seen flying about the streets, and ox cited 'men and womeh were shouting and screaming: "Turn out," "Save , your eelves," 'The levee •is broken," 'The water is in." All hands, house keepers and merchants, flew to packing up their goods and removing them to the second stories as rapidly as possible. In about an hour, no water making its appear ance, the alarm subsided, but the bells soon rang again and sounded' at intervals' until morning. The river did not get into the city, and fell in a day or two so that the danger was past. The American river is on the north of the city; and its - current a,t 'one point is almost squarely against the north ern levee. The Sacramento river, on the west,'gives but little trouble. At times of high water the people of that city are in dread lest some bad characters shotild cut the levee, hoping to obtain some plunder iu the subsequent confusion, or lest it give Way at the point from which the alarm was given. Bancroft's California Directory Speaks of the water having been some time I high enough to have buried the levee and city several feet deep. The Ihillroad Englineee. One of our railroad engineers, 4iorne years since, was running an express -train of ten well-filled cars. It, was in the night and a very dark night too. His train was behind time, and he, was putting the engine to the utmost speed of which it was capable, in order to reach a certain point at the proper hour. He was running on a straight and level 'track, and at this unusual velociv,when a conviction struck him that he must stop. "A soniething seemed to tell me," he said, "that to go ahead was danger-' ous, and that I must stop if I would save life. I looked back at my train and it was all right. I strained my eyes and `peered into the darkness, and could see no signal--of danger, nor anYthiag be tokening danger, and there in the clay , time I could have, seen five miles. I listened to the working of my engine, tried the water, looked at the scales and all was right. I tried to laugh myself out of what I then considered a foolish fear; but, like Banquo's ghost, it would not down at any bidding, but grew stronger in its hold upon me. I thought of, the ridicule. I would have heaped melt I did stop; but it Was - all of no avail. The conviction—for by this time it had ripened into a conviction— , that I must stop, greiv stronger ; and I resolved to stop. I shut off, blew the whistle fer'brakes acccirdingly. - I came to a dead halt, got off and went ahead a little without saying anything to any body what was the matter. I had a 'lamp in my hand, and had, gone about sixty feet, when I saw what convinced me that premonitions are sometimes pos sible. I dropped the lantern from my nerveless `grasp, and sat - down 6n the track utterly unable to stand." He goes on to tell us that there he found that some one had drawn a spike which had long fastened a switch rail, and opened a switch which had always been kept locked, which led on to a track—only about one hundred and fifty feet long— which terminated in a stone quarry ! "Here it was wide open, and had I not obeyed my premonitory warning—call it what you will—l should have run into it and at the end of the track, only about ten rods long, my heavy engine and train, moving at the rate of forty-five miles an hour,would have come into col -lision with a solid wall of rock eighteen feet high ! The consequences, had I done so, can neither be imagined nor de scribed, but they could by no possibility have been otherwise than fatally horri ble." No one can here doubt the fact of a special interposition of God by which from a calamity most terrific, hundreds of lives were wonderfully spared.—Home Monthly. /4114110111 A.
