' ' - . GETTYSBURG, PA., FRIDAY E The Old Door Stone. FRANCIS D. GAGE. to whose pen we aro indebted for•tho following beautiful poem, of the "Old Door Stone," has written much that the admirers of minstrelsy might ap plaud, and nothing that they can with any kind of propriety condemn.: Those who are familiar with rural and pastoral life—that happy life, whibh neither "town, or over-bur dened city" can afford, will find in the poem we copy, tho reflex of a thousand beautiful scenes, which' all ought to bo capable of imagining, though few can describe. The author of the poem in question, has ac complished all that we could have desired. N. Y. 'limes. A song, a song for the old door stone, To every household dear; That hallowed spot, where joys a nd griefs, Were shared for many a year. When sank the sun to his daily rest,' When the wild bird's song was o'er, When the toil and rare of the passing day Annoyed the heart no more : Then on that loved and timeworn spot We gathered one by one, And spent the social twilight hour . Upon the old door stone. How sweet to me do memories come Of merry childhood's hours, Wherr:weeped blithely through the tltdde; . . In search of.budding flowers, Or gstheren berries from the bush Or bending greenwood tree, Or chased the light winged butterfly . With pealing shouts of glee ' The freshest hour in memory's book Was spent at set of sun, ylb weary head on mother', Itnee, • Upon the ohl door stone, That mother's fele,' that mother's . fonn, Are graven on my heart, • • . ,'ZAnd of life'tholiest memories - They form the dearerst part Her counsel and inatructions given, Of frierolship, love and truth, Hare been my guanliani and, my gullies. Through ell the ways youth; And yet : I teem to hear again ' • Each I oved and treastned tone, When I in fancy sit MR dawn, Upon the old door atone. ' Long years have passed since mother died, Yel she is with ma still, . - Whether a.toller in the vale, Ora a wanderer on the bill% Still with me at my morning care; • Or oiening'squiet rest, The guardian angel by my aide; The kindest end the best. A mother now, I often irrive To catch her thought and - tone, • For those who cluster round nirknee, . Upon my g door stone. And oft beneith those clustering vines flaie,kindred spirits met, . And ably Words breathed softly there— Vows all unbroken yet— And friendships formed and plans devised, And kindly pledges given, And sweet communions there began, Far reaching into Heaven ! Oh I these who met in loge,..lang eyrie," Wide paths ere thrown, • Yet many turn with longing hearts, !het to the old door stone. 'Fears have flown by since those bright days And all the world is changed, And some who loved most kindly then Are by the world estranged Some fond hearts. too, then full of joy, Are cold and still this day ! Forsaken plans end withered hopes Lie strewn o'er all the way, And strangers' feet tread those old halls Where pattered once our own, And spend the pleasant twilight hour. Upon the old door stone. The old door atone, the cluttering vine, Oh ! may they long remain And may the household band that's left Meet there but once again ; Meet, not to weep o'er pleasures past, Or canvass joys to come— Meet to revive the sacred loves ' Once centered in that noes. A brother and a sister sleep Our parents both are gone; - Oh ! it would be a saddened hour . Upon that old door-stone. N • “I did atthe rest dld.” This tame yielding spirit...this "doing as the rest did"—has ruined thousands. A young man is invited by vicious vim ponions to visit tho theatre, or,the gaming room, or other haunts of licentiousness.-- He becomes dissipated, spends his time, loses his credit, squanders his property, and at last sinks into an untimely grave.— What ruined him Y Simply •'doing what the rest did." A father has a family of sons. He is wealthy. Other children in the same situ ation of life do so and so, are indulged in this thing and that. He indulges his own in the same way. They grow up idlers, triflers, and fops. ,The father wonders why his children do not succeed better. Ho has spent so much money on their ed ucation, has given them great advantages; but, alas f they are only a source of vexa tion and trouble. Poor man, ho is just ' paying the penalty of "doing as the rest did." This poor mother strives hard to bring up her daughters genteelly. They learn what others do,—to paint, to sing, to play, to dance, and several other, useless mat ters. In time they marry, their husbands aro unable to support their extravagance, and they are soon reduced to poverty, and wretchedness. The good woman is asten• ished. '•Truly," says she, "I did as the rest did." Tho sinner, following the example of others, puts off repentance, and neglects to prepare for death. He passes along through life, till, unawares, death strikes the fatal blow. He has no time loft now to prepare. , And he goes down to destrue tion, becaus e was so foolish as to "do as the rest did.' , A XfllB ADIONG Tns PURITANI:-.ln 1050, a friat,,took _placajn • nnecticut, under the section of the blue laW . e'pro• hibiting kissing.

When the morning broke over that far land, its warm rays kissed the brow of the dead woman. A beautiful Hindoo girl stepped lightly in the missionary's tent ; she bent over the quiet form with the cold bands peacefully folded over the hushed heart, and the nail of sunny hair falling like a golden clond around the calm. sweet face.

In order to be happy and long, lived, it was important that there should be a harmony between the be g inning, the middle, and the end of life. The young man should cultivate and foster the qual ities which he sees to bo respecti.ble and esteemed in the old ; and the old man, on the other baud, should retain, and seek to perpetuate Crib feelings and vivacity of youth."

WATTB.—If ever there was a poet born, he was that man ; ho attained with out study a smoothness of versification, which, with Pope, was the result of the in tetit analysis and most:. artistic care.— Nor do the most majestic and resounding lines of Dryden equal some of his in majesty of ;loam. The most harmoni ous lines of Dryden that I know of are these : tt When Jabal struck the chorded shell, His listening Itrethren stood around, And wondering or theirisces fell. To worshp that celestial sound. Less than a God they thought there, could not dwell Within the hollow of that shell. That spoke sa sweetly sad so well." The first four lines of this always seem to me magnificently harmonious. But al most any verse at random in Dr. Watt's paraphrase of the one hundred and forty eighth Psalm exceeds them, both in tnelo: dy and majesty. For instance, take tbobv lines : ss His cast dominions He, Let the Creator's name be known Loud as His thunder shoot his prsWo, And wend it lofty as His throne, "Sperdt of the wonders of that love Which Gabriel plays on every chord; From below and all. above, Loud hallelujahs to the ,Lord." Simply" as a specimen of harmonious versification, I would place this pliam,- phrase by Dr. Watts above everything in the English language, not even excepting Pope's 3lesiiah.—Mrs. 11. - 11.
