TUE LONG AGO.
ar 41-1, whtiesre.
,Annie and r„ore loved each other,
In the sweet days of the long ago;
Plodding home from the school together,
. Innutumn sunshine and winter snow.
She was as blithe as a midsummer fairy,
'-Free from care as the winds that blow
Oyer the bloom of the western prairie;
In the dear dais of the long ago,
I was a lad uncouth yet kindly, •
Bashful with Others, and Tough I knots
nut I worshipped each curl on hetdear head
blindly,
And thrilled at het voids in the long ago,
Nuts that I gathered, and roses, I gave her;
Treasured the ribbon that fell Rom her hair;
And longed for some wonderful danger,•to
save her,
(Like knight of old) from the fearful snare.
Only to carry. her .books and her basket,
Only to tred the path by her side
O'er the sunburnt meadow Ctwas little to ask,
yet
With crimson blushes my check was dyed.
Often I stole from under my lashes
A sidelong glance at her hands of snow;
Or caught the gleam of her blue eyes' flashes,
And watched the blushes come and go.
Na, D. Lem.
C. C. PAVIZOT,
Hearts bad we as light as a feather,
Little' e reeked of care and woe,
As we trod the old school path together,
Annie and I, In the long ago.
Yeas ago did our pathways severe,
She to the west, to the northward I.
Does she recall Ahe bright days ever,
When we loved each other, Annie and I ?
Though years aro fled, with their sorrows
Often I dream of the long ago, [laden,
I see in my musings a little maiden—
Over my heart steals the self-same glow.
The silken awls tall in golden showers,
And softly gleam the azure eyes;
As she takes from my hand the wildwood
flowers.
With a look of shy yet pleased surprise.
Gone are manhood's struggle; and trials,
Gone are the years of care and woe I
And we're walking the old school path together,
Annie and I, in the long ago.'

THREE HISSES OF FAREWELL
Three, only three, my darling,
Separate, solemn, slow,
Not like the swift and joyous ones,
We used to know
When we kissed because we loved each other,
Simply to taste love's sweet,
And lavished our kisses as the summer
Lavishes heat—
But as the kiss whose limirtsare wrung,
When hope and fear are spent,
And nothing is left to give, except
A sacrament.
First of the three, my dialing,
Is sacred unto pain;
We have hurt each other often;
We shall again,
When we pine because we miss each other
And do not understand
Bow' the written words are so much colder
Than ere and hand.
I kiss thee; dear, for all such pain
Which we may give or take;
Burled, forgiven, before it comes
For our love's sake.
The second kiss, my darling.,
Is full of joy's sweet thrill ;
We hare blessed each other always;
We always will—
We shall reach until we feel each other
Past all of time and space;
We shall listen till we bear each other
In every place;
The earth is full of messengers,
Which love sends to and fro;
I kiss thee, darling, for enjoy
Which we shall know.
The last kiss, oh, my darling,
•
My love—l cannot see
Through my tears, as I remember
What it may be,
• We may die and never see each other,
• Die with no timo to give
Any sign that our hearts are faithful
To die, as lire
Token of- what they will not see
Who see our parting breath,
This one last kiss, my darling, studs
The seal of death.

SERIN'ON
Delivered on the National Thankskiving,
.Nov. 30, 1871, at the Baptist Church,
Montrose, Pa., by Biw. L. B. FORD,
Pastor.
" Thou shalt remember all the way in which
the Lord thy God led thee..—.Deut rUL 2.
These words were uttered by Moses,
that man of God tvho led Israel forth
from Egypt and the grievous oppression
to Which that people bad been subjected.
He had seen themo out, while the death
cry rose over the land; he had beheld
them go over the bed of the Red Sea We
ly, while their opressors were swallowed
up. Pilgrims journeying to a better
country, God's cloudy and fiery pillars
were their guide and, their defence. God's
power had opened the bosom of the flinty
rock, and gushing waters quenched their
thirst; while the skies dropped manna
-for their sustenance in a desert land.
And in view of this:they are enjoined in
the. words of the text to "remember all
the way in which the Lord thy God led
thee."
This is most emphatically a day of re
membrance for us; parted families meet
and recount the course of Providence
since they were last together. The long
absent return ; each to bear testimony to
heavenly guidance, blessing, and protec
tion. Griefs, too, come up with vivid
ness, and wounds are - reopened. Vacant
places at the festival dim the eye of the
bereaved, and thoughts of those no longer
with us mingle deep lines of pensiveness
with the gayety of the season. What can
be more appropriate at once to hallow the
joy and to soothe tht sad remembrauces
of this annual festival than for us to do
together what should be done separately
in every household,. viz: to look back
upon the way on whith the L t ord our God
has led ns, and to endeavor to recall some
of the grateful views of a kind Providence
which arc or should be common to us all.
The monuments of, Divine love are so
closely crowded together that we are
prone to pass them by unnoticed. The
experience of all of us is so similar that
We cease to marvel at it. The Lord our
God leads us in a way so wonderful and
so merciful, that it seems a worn and
common path, with nothing in it to ex
cite our special interest. Were any one ,
of ns the sqle recipient of favors of which I
all of ns partake, that individual would
stand forth as a miracle of mercy to him- I
sell and every one else, and would be re
garded day by day with the same amaze
ment with which the sisters of Bethany
saw Lazarus coming from the tomb. But
because the Father of all leaves none un
blessed. we often neglect the religious re
view of his Providence, so that this duty
—than which there is none more impera
tive or more sanctifying—is perhaps one
of the rarest to be faith fidly discharged.
In endeavoring to assist you in the per
formance of this duty, I would first ask
you to reflect on the amount of happiness
which you as an assembly represent.
Yon come up hither from many a peace
ful fireside, each possessing a vast pre
ponderance of enjoyment over suffering.
Of those here, how few have come with
anxious or griefworii countenances or
, with downcast hearts. True, there may
be those among you who have chronic
troubles, disappointments, and sorrows
which you do not regard, and probably
never will regard as healed. , But these
take much less than at first thought
might seem from the enjoyment of
Probably those who feel the poorest are
those of you who are only less rich than
von once were—who have met with great"
lossei—yet have never lacked fitting food,
clothing and shelter, or even some of the
comforts and luxuries Which yon enjoyed
'when von called yourOelves richer than
now. Those of you Who have been Be
reaved of kindred nearest your hearts are
indeed mourners every day. But still
there are so many of the beloved left, and
so Many sources of joy open, that your
moments of poignant grief bear a small
proportion to the gladness which a kind
Providence forces upon you, in spite of
The sorrow you so carefully nourish. It
is not that your hearts arc unfaithful to
the memory of those that are gone; but
your joygiving Father will not leave his
children a prey to enduring grief. There
is probably not one of you to whom this
is not a happy day, not one Whose glad
memories do not outnumber Iris regretful
thoughts; whose, mercies spared do not
- outnumber those withdrawn by a propor
tion beyond our power to calculate ; for
our sorrows we can connt, our wounds we
can tell, but thy mercies, thy thoughts
of love, oh God, how great is the sum of
them!—Shonld we endeavor to count
them, they are more hi number than the
sands of the sea. Bow many sources of
happiness flow for ns this morning! The
sun has risen in be.luty on this day of
National Tbanksgiving, as if t to east its
radiant light upon the pathways to the
ten thousand sancturies where a free and
enlightened peop'e pay their votive offer
ings of prayer and praise to the Moat
High. The rich yet!obastened hues of
autumnal skies have sent their spirit of
repose into our hearts, and the notes of
the dying year even now are, wafted to our
ears, not as those of a. solemn dirge, but
as an anthem of praise and hope.
L As a nation. God the Lard bath
greatly blessed us. Let us " remember
now the.way in which: He bath led us."
So far as the affairs of the General Gov
erraitent relating to the people are con
cerned, we have ample-reason for grati.
tilde to Him.who eitteth on high, as the
Ettierof Nations; and:to whom we all owe
supreme allegiance,thit our peaceful rela
tions with the surrounding nations of the
earth have been unbroken during
,the past
year. And while the tread *farmed cohorts
has resounded from over the sea, while
thrones have fallen and-they thht tat 'on
them hive been brought to naught; while
sorrow, and famine, and tears, have fol
lowed in the wake of bloodshed, and un
sanctified human ambition and passion,
God. has kept us in perfect peace. Has
it beeu,becaute we have trusted in him?
The laws have" in gerieral been enforced;
and the intelligence the people liaa
loe git strength of our inatitutions our
commerce, Montt foreSi dud . the -arts,
have each received increasing evidence of
favor and protecticin; both at home and
abroad. Tho divine blessing has been
upon the busbandman'e toil. Seed-time
and harvest have not failed; and ndtwith
standing the severe storms of hail and
wind in some portions of our country,
which resulted in an almost total destruc
tion of the grain crops in a few localities,
yet an abundant harvest in others has,
given "seed to the sower, and bread to
the eater].'. in all parts of our fair /and.
We have been able to vindicate the jua
tice of our laws, the purity of our nation
al institutions, and our character as a
'people, by our suffrages for their defence
and support. While wickedness even in
high places has not been' entirely sup
planted by purity and virtue, yet we hare
occasion rip thanksgiving to God, that
massive rings of corruption which have
encircled the bodies politic in some of our
large cities so long, have at last been bro
ken in sunder; that wounds and bruises
and putrifying sores, which have festered
and poisoned the atmosphere of our entire
Nation, are being healed. Let the fumi
gating process go ou, and God grant the
disinfecting committee of seventy success
in their work. Let righteousness reign !
yea, let righteousness reign; to the over
throw of aR corruption, and fraud, wick
edness, and crime, in our own land, and
throughout the world. Again, it should
be a source of hearty thanksgiving to God
that we have been enabled to witness the
evidences of genuine unity existing be,
tween us as component parts of the great
est nation the world has ever seen, which
have been witnessed, in those spontaneous
gifts that have gone from every city,village,
haniletin our glad land, l'or the relief of
thatovidowed city, weeping amid the ash
es of her palaces. and the ruin of her
splendor. East. and West, North and
South, have alike given of their abund
ance to the satisfying of her distress.. Oh!
it were almost worth the loss of the mil
lions of treasure which have been in
gulphed in the whirlpool of flame, to wit
ness this stretching forth of hands; this
grand uplifting and unison of hearts,
each vying with the other in the work of
benevolence and charity. So let our peo
ple be united, so let them be cemented in
faith, hope, and charity, in the bonds of
intelligence, virtue, and the Gospel of
Christ, that the joy of. one shall cause
every heart to pulsate with a quicker tide,
and that the sorrow of one shall be shared
in and sympathized with by all. "So
shall we weep with them that weep and
and so rejoice with them that do rejoice"
—" bearing one another's burdens, and so
fulfilling the law of Christ." •
IL As a community, God has greatly
favored us. Let us now briefly " remem
ber the way in which the Lord our God
bath led us." As a community we have
been signally favored in protection from
pestilential disease, from tire and rapine.
No sudden financial crisis has beggared
our capitalists, nor fettered the hands of
the laboring classes- of our population.
The fountains of inditstry have not been
dried up, nor vice permitted to sap the
foundations of our little commonwealth.
Death has conic ns it must come to all, in
time ; it has brought sorrow and tears.
but religion has stood by the side of sor
row with her heavenly and Christ-like
consolations. Sorrows we have had, but
many more have been our joys, and we
have been able to say, " It is good for me
to have been afflicted, for before I was af
flicted I went astray, but now I have kept
thy word." Our educational and literary
institutions have been prospered. And
above all, the institutions of Religion have
been cherished, find, oh, how signally has
God blessed the interests of the commun
ity In them. Many in the various church
es of this community have been led to a
more circumspect walk and a higher life.
Many, who one year ago, were aliens and
strangers to Christ, are sow " fellow-citi
zens with saints." Many, whose feet were
stumbling on dark Mountains of sin, have
been given a standing place upon the
Rock of Ages; and whosoever believeth
in Him shall not be confounded. The
birth, the bridal, and the dying day, are
all eventful days, but none can be com
pared with that day when, by faith in
Christ, the soul enters tho open door of
heaven, and its immortal destiny is deci
ded. Thank God there are many here to
day who can say what one year ago to-day
they could- not say, "I love the Savior of
sinners. 'Once I was blind, but now I
see. He has taken my feet from an hor
rible pit'and from the miry clay; He bath
set my feet upon a rock and established
my goings. He bath pnt a new song into
my mouth, even praise to Him who loved
and gave himself fur me." With the sa
cred poet they can say :
" My life tir folded in the life of &swat
No longer mine, but purchased by that tide,
That crimson tide, watch shed on Calvary, frees u
Prom those dark stains. that in oar hearts abide
Iy life b bld with Chrlst,aad I am Ms;
Whateer Ells .nn, that I am bound to do;
Where'er He goes I cannot stay behind ,
/a what He does my hand shall have employ;
4 % hene'er Ile sutlers, sorrow Ails m) mind;
When Re rejoices, I partake the joy.
lie bought me with lIIs blood. and I am ME
I hare no other will, no other grief. °rights."
How deep, then, should be the gratitude
with which you now set upn new pillar
of Thanksgiving with the inscription
thereupon: "Hitherto the Lord bath
he,lped me."
• I have thus taken, (tinder a few ob
vious, yet too much fortott4.,heads,) a
cursory view of the " way in Which the
Lord our God has led us daring the past
year."
And now, in conclusion, let us enquire,
what are the duties to which this review
calls us? Does•it not make the gratitude
of the most thankful seem cold? What
but unceasing praise cap worthily respond
to this incessant tor of meroyfrom God?
And yet, my hearers, do not some of us
live. without thanksgiving; receiving nu
numbered benfits, and let never render
ing the sacrifice or pnse; e with mercies
ever new compassing our path, Our lying
dotin, and yet our way unblessed, our rest
unsanctified by the incense of a grateful
heart? Oh:, that :every sonl might feel
the love in which it is emboaortied, and
send heavenward as the blended anthem
of 'all its point's, 'and all its affections,
"Bless the Lord, oh oty - eoul, and forget
not all his benefits" AN , the smile of our
fiesvenly Father rest upon nerand sink
deep inthotu hearts, as we the fee,
tivities of this day of ThanksgiVing. At
tablet spread by our Father's bounty, may
the rich gifts lead our hearts to their
giver, and may every fireside and every
heart be an altar of sacred praise. In
these mercies, hear we not also the voice
of religious exhortation ?—" My son, my
daughter, give me thy heart."
Why is it that our outward life is thus
passed as it were in the bosom of the Infi
nite Father, if it be not that our souls
may also live in him? From our happy
beings, from the uncounted blessings that
encompass our daily path, from the
watchful love that guards our nightly
rest a►nd opens to us the golden gates of
the morning, come there not invitations
load and sweet and many-toned to conse
crate our lives to Him who loves us all,
and 4 ,‘ whose tender mercies arc over all
his works?" And shall not these voices

Matrimony Extraordinary
An entertaining article entitled-" Tony
Weller's Widows" appears in the Chester
(Pa.) Republican, from which the follow
ing is an extract:—
"Another very courtablo widow was a
young lady fro.n Washington, Pa.. She
became engaged to a young man named
Robert .—, in 184 G. Her father,
however, objected to this match with one
of his clerks, and when the young lady
received a tempting proposal from a weal
thy suitor, the paternal influence soon ef
fected a marriage, despite the former en
gagement. In less than three months
her husband was killed by a kick from a
horse. Robert was a second time then a
suitor, bnt delayed the important ques
tion until fifteen months had elapsed,
when, to his horror, she informed him
that she was engaged. In three months
thereafter she was married. Two years
elapsed, when the married couple removed
to Syracuse, -N. Y., where among the vic li
-
time of the cholera, when- the pestilence
swept that city, was the second. Robert
again sought her band, and when a year
had elapsed, was on the eve of a declara
tion, when lo! he received an invitation"
to her wedding. Her late husband's bu
siness was found to be in such a state that
to avoid immense losses she married, the
surviving partner. Shortly after, she re
moved with her husband to Detroit,
Michigan. A few years elapsed, when
herself and husband were on a steamer
that was wrecked near Buffalo. The hus
band perished, and the wife escaped sole
ly through tho exertions of a friend who
was on board. His gallantry inspired
such sentiments in her breast that she
married her bravo preserver a few months
after her third .widowhood. The happy
pair removed to Pittsburg,whero the hus
band was engaged iu mercantile business.
Thither Robert, still cherishing his first
love, followed them. One day as he was
passing the husband's store lie saw a ter
rible commotion. Rushing in, be beheld
.the mangled corpse of that gentleman on
the floor. A tierce of rice, in being.hoist
ed to an upper story, had fallen through
the trap, killing . him instantly. Anxious
ly Robert inquired if anyone had been
sent to inform his wife, and was told that
the bookkeeper had just gone. Rob
ert started for Allegheny City, where the
deceased had resided, at the top of his
speed. The bookkeeper was just ahead
of him, and, from past experience, know
ing the virtue of prompt action, aind ap
prehending that the clerk bad designs on
the widow, be ran fir dear life, side by
side. The race continued until they
reached Hand street bridge, when the
clerk was obliged to stop to pay the tolls,
while Robert, a commuter, passed over
without stopping: Reaching the house
of the widow first, Robert told the heart
rending news, and in the same breath
made a proposal of marriage. He was ac
cepted. True to her promise, after a year
of mourning she became his wife. As all
her husbands had died wealtby,,Robert
was oomfortably,fixed after all. This case
is a remarkable example of what -pluck
and perseverance will do for a man, while
at the same time it teaches a lesson-on the
danger of delay."

The Fireproof Nolo* te Maryland,
The Denton (Maryland) Union, after
correcting some statements going the
rounds about Nathan Coker, the colored
man, known as the "Carolina fire king,"
goes on to say: Ile can,,howeYer, eat red
hot anthracite coals, stir up red hot coals
in a furnace with his naked bands, lick a
red hot bar of iron; until it is cold, re
ceive molten lead into his month and keep
it there nntilit ceolth and it has been said
that ha has walked on a red hot bar of
iron barefoot. This feat we have neVer
witnessed ourself, although we have seek
him apply a red hot bar of iron to his
feet and peep it therc until it had lost its
redness. 'But we have noticed there are
times when fire seemed to affect him. and
we have, seen him start back from its
touch. We remember a few years ago,
while he was mixing limo for the plaster
ers, who were at work finishing a build
ing for U 8 in this town, he ran his band
into the lime, while it was being slacked,
to take out the bore, but he withdrew it in
a twinkle.' The Lime burned him, and be
felt its effects very sensibly. Another,
time a company of young men got Coker
rather badly. He made a wager of twen
ty dollars with them that be could sit on
red hot stove for fifteen minutes. The
stove was heated up until, it was all aglow
with redness. The fire king took his scat,
and actually, it is said, sat out ten min
utes of the time, but one of the wags
pouring a little coal oil on the stove, drew
him from his position in double quick,
and burned bun severely. lire is a re
markable negro, and no one has yet been
able to explain his dealings with this

It really appears, says an 'English meg
ilrine writer, that men may have serious
attacks of (lizense and know little or,
nothing about it. Here Is a curious in
stance; Same gentlemen had been sup
ping together and had afterwards taken
to pipes, One of them laid down .11is
pipe, and said he was struck with paraly
sis. His friends declared that they could
not perceive it, but be persisted that his
mouth was drawn on one side, and he
asked a friend to accompany him home.
This friend called next dity, but found
him very angry with his barber for not
I seeing any alteration in him. But in the
course of the day his •ngbelieving frienda
saw him to be manifestly worse, and be
died iu about six months. It is not like
ly that there aro many oases of incipient
paralysis which aro quite unnoticed by the
sufferer.
The case of Mr. Humphrey, one of the
leaders of the Ilidland circuit, in Eng
land, was a very remarkable one. He
suffered from a peculiar cancerous alive
tiou. the nature of which was not discov
ered until after the performance of an
operation. The case. was so rare that an
anonymous account of it was published in
a ;pealed mark. At this time Mr. Hum
phrey was to all appearance established in
perfect health. He happened to read the
article and recognized it as his own case
"Whereupon he proceeded to arrange his
affairs and put his house in order, dying
within the predicted time in the midst of
his family, with the fortitude of ma an
cien t Roman.",
It is probably that atoll condition of
life may have a tendency to develop .some
form of physival danger at ita shadow.

If seems that opium, although it has
