.
To weary hearts to mourning homes,
Go i d's meekest angel gently comes,
No pewerhath he to banish pain,
Or give us back to our lost again;
And yet in tenderest love, our dear
And Heavenly father sends him-here
There's 'qUiet in that angel glance,
There's rest in his still countenance, .
He mocks no grief With idle cheer,
Nor wounds with words the mournersear
But, ills andwoes he may-not cure,
lie kindly teaches to endure— ,
Angel of patience, sent to ca'm
fe'erish brows with cooling balm
,To lay with hope the storms of fear.
And reconcile life's smile and tear,
The throbs of wounded pride to still,
And make our own; our Father's will
Oh ! thou who mournest on thy way
With - longings foYthe — elose of day
Jim walks with thee, the angel kind,
And gently whispers "be resigned,"

The waterfall of Sarp .rushes over the
steep cliffs:and plunges into the depths be
low, proclaiming in tones of thunder, its
might and.majesty, and challenging the
.admiration of the work?.
Many years ago there dwelt, on either
side of the falls, a youth and maiden ;
both were:fair and of noble birth,; each
.was an only child, and both were thidols
•of their °parents.
The fallawas not the only barrier which
divided them ; a bitter fetid had existed
between their families for generations, and
, although the times was now passed for their
hatred to break forth in open hostility,
‘4lPrthe lire smouldered in their breasts, and
NI as continually fanned by pride and jeal
oeusy. Both were wealthy and powerful,
,and each emulous of the other.
• .The youth and the maiden partook,of
the enmity 'of their respective families,
.but ,in a milder degree, for each had a
lingering memory of having in early child
;hood, played on the banks of the Sarp
Falls, gazing at each other across the wa•
tens, throwing shells and flowers into the
stream and mingling their laughter as
they saw them disappear in the white kart,.
-Fate seemed.to have decreed that they
should .never meet, for years 'rolled .on,
and they were as fax apart as ever.
The name of the youth was Erie. He
was talland strong; his hair was light
and his eyes were.blue ; he was brave and
hardy ; and a worthy descendantof a bold
Viking. His nature was noble, and he
gave with a generous band to the poor.—
He was beloved by.all who knew him.
The name of the maiden was Alma.—
She, toe, was greatly beloved. She was
merry and bright,.and her eyes and hair
were as black asthe ewes, which often ecli
, oed with her laughter. Her presence shed
a brightness through the gleamy halls of
,her fathers, and many guests.eaine there
attracted by her charms.
Her admirers were countless, but, she
•had no lover, for among her train of suit-,
,or:,
,although some were of high rank•and
others of vast-estates, no one could await=
. en a response in her heart.
The.fame of her wit and beauty reach
ed the. ear of Eric, and he conceived au ax
dent, desire to meet her; aud,notwithstand
ing thedislike with which he regarded
her ,faraily, amhthe danger to which his
heart would be exposed, he determined to
carryout his wish.
Eric waited long and patiently for a fa-,
vorable opportunity, but as none present
ed- its..lf, he was about to resort to some
incautious means, when he was asked to
attend a wedding to which most of the
Honorable ,families of the neighborhood

He went with the hope of meeting Al
ana, and was not disappointed in seeing
,her. But alas! the first glance of her
black eyes was nearly fatal.
the proud youth, who bad hitherto
;been almostAinsensible to female charms,
avas..suddenly• onthralled. He .did .not
'take part in the festivities, but stood watch
• .
iag the gay scene, vainly endeavoring to
jireserve a haughty, unconcerned air, lest
shophi .be perceiit t od. as 1 14
was the object' of rpSrch attention.
But his cheeks would flush, and his lips
• tremble, then his eyes met those of Alma,'
who seemed • likewise affected, for the at
ttaction Was matuali •AU that eirening
they were in each other's presence;' but
-neither appreitched the 'other, • and: 3iet,
• their, eyes told' volumes. The image of
one was engraves en the hearts of the
°tiler, never to•he erased.
• 'The marriage festival ended, and Eric
and Almareturned to their homes with
heart and•brain in commotion. Time pas
-sed, bat it had no power to stifle the ten
• der sentiment which had 4 90 s uddenly
; sprang up in their hearts.
One day, while Eric wandered in the
fortt not far froni' thfr hothe .of Alma, his
ear was arrested by the strains of a merry
song. There .was something in The . tone
Of the voice that fascinated him, and he
paused to listen.. . , .
• "(Yer.the land; and o'er the sea, •
My ,brave loer comes to me. . ' ,
will sing a) bilee ,
\i- ' For My sweet ii
'eart I shall aed.'
‘
Tra ia la I Tiala la! " ' :•
Eric did not wait for her more, but rush
ed eagerly forward, and the sight of_hei_
whom he sought soon met his 'gaze. But,
ah, how lovely 'Perched upon a' rock;
like a bird, she sat strewing
. leaves and
flowers on the ground at her feet, and
making the i•roods ring with her' Sweet
voice.
He had 'seen her at st, large assemblage,
dressed in stately robes; and carrying her
self with the dignity of a high-born lady.
What, a contrast was here 1 In his imagin
ation she now resembled a graceful wood
nyMph, and his eyes beamed with admi
ration. ' , "
.
No sooner did' she become aware of his
presence than her song abruptly ceased,
and her cheeks crimsoned with confusion.
She hastily arose and descended the rock.
With great embarrassment he tended his ,
assistance. When 'She had reached the
ground, he detained her -hand and'asked
hesitatingly :
' "Was that song meant for me?"
"Yes, though J. did not dream you were
so near.".
They stood silent for a long while ; she
did not withdraw Ler band, and he had
no -po,wer to unclasp it. . All at once she
raised her eyes to his and asked in a sol
emn voice :
"Do you know who I am?" •
"Yes, you are the daughter of my fa
ther's enemy." - -
"And you are the son of my father's
enemy."
" ,•• •
• • • • are no a r
enmity?
"No, Eric."
"Then why cannot our friendship
stretch over the breach which has divid
ed our families for so long a time? The
moment I set foot upon your fither'slle
main to day, I vowed that all to;
ward-your house should be forever extinct
in my, bosom." ,
"111 y father has .done your father no
wrong, .and if our ancestors have injured
one another, they have no doubt settled
their accounts in another world. I, too,.
have vowed to harbor no ill-will toward
your family."
"Then, darling, let us deal our vows
with a lass." ' 'l'
They did so, and from, that instant a.
new world opened bethre them.' ..hours
passed, but they were unconscious of the
flight of time until evening began to' dark
en the earth, when with many sweet fare
wells, they parted, though not forever, for
they had promised to meet on the same
spot before Many .days. •
Months passed, and they continued to
meet.in the woods.. Their love was secret
to all save themselves, and they guarded
it with care, eise they..would have been
rudely separated. These stolen intercours
e., were the most delicious Jrnonzents of
their lives, but like every -other, delightful
period, it was destined to end.
The pirente of Alma hid chosen a hus
band for her—a wealthy noble. , --and the
day appointed for her wedding was pot
far distant. Eric learned the fatal news, ,
and' was attacked with a dangerous fever.
In delirium he confessed his love for Al
'ma, and' declared that he would wed her
or die. The family was astonished , at the
intelligence.
Betbre his serious illness took place,
they perceived a change in him, but they
had never suspected the cause.
The father listened with terror to the
passionate appeals , of his son, and-tried to
persuade himself that they were, merely
the wilndetings of a disordered intellect,
and that on recovery he would disavow
all that he said during. his illness,
But ,he grew no better. The fever in
creased until his life was despaired off.
When Almi'discovered that her lover
was On the point of death, she became so
distracted by grief that her parents were
alarmed lest she should lose . her reason.
Notwithstanding the' danger of their
children, the paients could not be prevail
ed upon to meet on friendly terms ; their
aversion appeared
,to ,be stronger than
their parental love. ,
Eric did not die, and in proportion as,
he/regained his health, Alma, recovered
her tranquility of mind. The 'youth', iu
acquainted his father with his love:
for his rival's daughter. The father en
raged at the, possibility of their uniting
in wedlock; declared that if such an event
should come to piss 'he would disinherit
him. Erie • expected an angry outburst
from his father,
but confident . ./)f his in¢u
ence over him, he 'hoped to induce him to
yield at last to his wishes. But he Witi
disappointed. His father remained
orable.
Alma was equally unsuccessful in soften.
ino. the heath of her parents ; they had
ellsen 'a, bridegroom for ;het, and s they
were resolved she should abide by Otheir
choice.
Tier wedding was nearing rapidly, And
grand preparations were begun for the
event. She was constantly under the.Vigi
lamie of an attendant; and was in conse
quence prevented from seeing Erie, who
heal d, with an aching heart, of the arrange
ments which Were being made faller
marriage.
The day arrived.. The guests asserabl.
ed, and everything was lu readiness for
the occasion. All were arrayed in .fes
tive attire ; all hearts were light and mer
ry, and eager to partake of the marriage
feast, and to drink of the health and hap.
piness of the bride and bridegroom.
But. their joy and hilarity came to.an
abrupt • pause. The bride -w mincing 1

stream, and land near the window of 'her
chamber, nor a.youth alight, and call, in
a low Voice, the, naive of Alma ; no one
had seen the birde appear and spring joy
fully into his arms.
When they did behold her 'she was
clasped in the , last embrace of her lever,
sailing down the stream toward the falls,

Change:
A world of change is this. Nothing is
staple, nothing permanent here. Nature
is always changing—never at rest, never
one thing long.. Perpetual motion is the
great law of the Universe. A ceasele4s
activity governs every Where. This active
change of principle bringi, in-its several
,turns, spring in,its ,freshness iand beauty.;
summer with its golden grain and ripen
ed harvests ; , autumn, with its :sighing
winds and falling ; and winter , with
its chilling blasts and bleaching snows.— ,
All in the natural world is change. No
object, however strong and enduring, but,
that yielcia to the corroding touch and in
fluence of time. ,
"Out upon time ! it will leave no more ' ,
Of the things to eorne_thin the-things be
- - fore.
Out upon time ! who forever will l eave
But enough of 'the past for the future to
grieve; •• '
O'er that which lath been; or o'er that
- which must, be ;
What we have seen our sons shall see-
Remnants of things that have pabsed away;
Fragments of stone, reared by creatures of
clay."
As in nature, so in the realm of mor
tals, all is change. Here, too , life is ever
varying.t4l_lMl
oral ifs we have four stage.ver seasons ot
being—infancy,,youth, maturity, and old'
age. Not t long ,an infant, not long, a
youth; not long in maturity, not long an
old man—in 'fine,' nothing bang. This is
the unchanging law of man's ever-chang
ing life. How like a dream is existence
as-we look= back froni'the present upon
life's varied ohangings and deVious wind-•,

ESCHEAT; REAL ,ESTATE.
Along the years of 1700; 1710,-20;
the Catholics had lost moth of '.the power
in Germany which they held in possession
in fOrrner times. The Catholics on the
one hand, the hoiltina and r• •
crorr — ned on the other,After years ofCon
tention and strife, an&passing through
scenes of deva9tatien and blood; had spent
so much of their, strength in trying to put,
one anotherinto subje:ction, that they were
ultimately satisfied *stop the fighting,
just' to establish some of peace. •
Accordingly•these three parties entered,
into a treaty, in ,which it was, agreed that,
the C atholic , the Luther*an j and the Ger
man' Reformed Churches `be placed
'equal' groundg ; and this these three 'de
'nominations, to a great extent became the
I established church of Germany + ,In so far
these three parties-had secured protection
under the ,government, but the.dissentere,
spd especially the -Mennonites and Bap-1
tists were still left under the weather.—
r-Just point, it may not be out of
place tie notice, that in Europe the' Met'--
nonitei; notwithstanding 'they baptize in.
their churches by pouring, are called Bap.

.
egath. Tliis amounts for ;the' mistake
whichrecently found its way into the pub
lie papers, that, the ,Mennonites .etuigrat
big; from Russia wereßaptists. . ,
The dissenters so m etimes fared "quite
until some' kind of a disterbance
would arise, then if they could not other
wise be subdued, their ,enemies would re
port, them to the. government as Pietists ;
and the probabilityVas, that the, laws
would be enforced to their' fullest extent.
In some instances, horses and cattle would
bo driven away, their lands sold with or
ders:to leave the country within a limit
ed time. If persons proved in any way
reprobate' they were imprisoned.. The
rulers however, it seems, believed them
selves to be extending some degree of tol
eration, and in the administration of the
government, supposed themselves to be
'liberal. 'Laws Were enacted as it would
appear, that only a percentage of the con
fiscated property was taken for govern:
went purposes, and the balance restored
to the owner. .
At about this age of the world Penn
sylvania was called the Quaker land, and
the dissenters of 'Germany upon 'leaving
their own country, mostly fled 'tothe re
putal land of religious liberty. • About,
the year 1740 some swiss settlers began to
find out that there was good land in, the
southern portion' of Franklin county,. Pe.
Lands were purchase&from the govern
ment, log cabins erected, and homes-fitt.
ed up in the wilderness. About the year
.1760 quitea number of Swiss families bad,

The !Slanderous Tongue.
The tongue of slander is never tired.--,

itself in constant employment. Sometimes
it drips honey, and sometimes gall. It is
bitter now and then sweet: It insinu
ates or assails directly, according to the
circumstances. It will hide a curse tin
der a smooth word, and administer poi
son in the phrase of love. Like death, `it
loves a shining mark' And it is never
so available and eloquent as 'when it can
