they have seen fit to defer the partition of the

Silt of July, as will lu seen by referenee to .
their proceedings, published below. 1 assure
you that the postpouement is as vexatious to

now interested, will cosiperate with me in the
effort to dispose of the few thousand tickets
remaining unsold, and thus advance the iiiter
osts of the whole holy of shareholders.

GETTYSBURG, PA., FRIDAY .EVENING, JUNE2 O I,,• 1865.
[The following poem, by Wm. Pitt Palmer,
snys the Boston Waverly Magazine, was pro
nounced by one of the most eminent European
critics to be the finest production of the same
length in our language.]
Light.
From the quickened womb of the primal gloom
The stkp rolled black and bare,
Till I wofe him a vest for his Ethiop breast,
Of The threads of my golden hair ;
And when the broad tent of the firmament
Arose on its airy spars,
I pencilled the Ime t _of its matchless blue,
And spangled it round with stars.
I painted the flowers of the Eden bowers,
And their leaves of living green,
And mine were the dies in the sinless eyes
Of Eden's virgin queen ;
And when the Friend's art on her trustful heart
Bad thstened its mortal spell,
In the silvery sphere of the first-born tear
To the trembling earth I fell.
When the waves burst o'er a world accursed
Their work of wrath had sped.
And the Ark's lone few, the ified and true,
ClllllO forth among the deal.'
With the wondrous gleams ofmy braided beams,
1 bade their terrors cease,
As I wrottLou the roll of the storm's dark scroll
God's !_ . .t)v'eliguit of peace
Like it pall at rest nn a pulseless breast,
Night's funeral shadow slept,
Where shepherd swains on the Bethlehem plains
Th e ir lonely vigils kept.
Whim I lI:WM , ' in; their sight the heralds bright
Of heaven's redeeming plan,
As then chanted the lama of a Savior born—
Joy; job• to the outcast man
Equal favor I Oulv to the lofty and low,
jaAt awl unjust I desemul ;
Pen the Wind, Will NV vain spheres roll in dark
!WAS anil tears, •
Peel my smile, the blest smile of a friend ;
Nay the flower of the waste hy my love is QM-
A 8 till• in the garden of kings ;
At the chrysalis bier fit' the worm I appear,
And, lo l on the gay butterfly's wings.
'lite desolate Morn, like a mourner forlorn,
Conceals ttll the pride of her elitvrin4,
Till I hill the bright hour:4 chase the night from
her bowers
And lend the voting Day le her urine ;
kiol when the gay roNer seeks evt. tor his lover;
And sinks to her lailmy repose,
I wrap the soil rest by the z4.phyr•fitnned west
In curtains of,tonber and rose.
Front the sentinel steep, by the night brooded
tleep,
T gazed with mishonbering eye,
,When thacrnoAnre star. of the mariner
.. .
isiblotteff out from the sky ;
And guided by !de through the merciless sort,
Though a ped by the hurricane's wings.
His compassiess bark, kne weltering dark,
To the haven home safely te brings.
I waken the flowers in the dew-spangled bow
ers,
The birds in their chambers of green,
And mountain and plain grow With beauty

As they Wahl. tlivtr munuol

'Though fittul and fleeting the while.
What glories must rest on the mime ufthe blest,
_ Ever bright with the Deity's smile.
A SCENE ON Till: STAGE,-- , SIIIIaII and
Kate Dennis were playing Romeo and
Juliet at the froy (N. Y.) Museum, a
few evenings since, when some of their
enemies began to hiss Kate. There was
great excitement, and angry exhibitions
were made between the partisans and op
ponents of the actresses, when Kate, who
was playing Juliet, burst into tears. This
turned the tide in her favor. At this
juncture Susan came upon the stage, mid
placing her arm about her sister's waist,
turned to the audience and exclaimed—
• „ What ha's my sister done? Who can
say anything against my sister? (X
voice—" Nobody.") That is so. Say
whatever you please in regard to me,
but do not abuse my sister. Don't cry
Katy—go on with your part. Nobody
has anything to say against you."
This happy melo-dramatie addenda was
greeted with "three times three," and
with a great effort Kate subdued her emo
tions and continued her performance.,
"TUE TRIAL OF TIIF SERPENT. " --.A•
mong some twenty inebriates who were
arraigned in the police court i n Boston on
Wednesday morning, Was a young 'girl of
fifteen years whose rare beauty
_seemed
strangely out of place in a criminal court.
A year ago she was the pride and hope of
her friends in Cambridge, and enjoyed
the esteem of a large circle of acquaintan
ces. An intimacy with a student at Har,,
yard, a rich man's son, , eventuated in her
ruin. She was driven in disgrace from
the paternal roof—an outcast. Where
could she go The haunts of vice and
the grave were open to her. She hesita
ted. At fifteen the grave looks dark and
forbidding, she entered a fashionable broth
el, where she has sinee , :konsorted with
the lost and abandoned of her sex. This
Was her first appearance in the police
court ; there is a strong and painful pre
sumption that it will not boiler last. She
evidently felt the degradation keenly. A
light fine imposed upon her was kindly
paid by a friend, and she was permitted to
depart in peace. Who shall say that the
outcasts was less sinned against than sin
ning?—Springfield (Mass) Rcp.,June 8.
The great law of nature is. "eat and bo
eaten." The spawn•cator swallows the
worm—the shark swallows the spawn.ca
ter— the hawk pounces On chickens—the
eagle on the hawk—the sportsman on the
eagle—rogues on honest inen7liettilog
gars on rogues-and the devil ou pettifog

will say this is not all for the best? Let
us turn it over and reflect.

back on the tray. Mr. Vanneck took out
his %yawl:, and shewed it to the monkey ;
it was just three. Jack went end brought
a cup of broth to his twister, who remark
ed that the monkey did not know the
movements of the watch, bat he knew
exactly the position of the hands when
they pointed to three, and kept in mind
that it was then his master required his

stowed on the training of this animal.—

"Jack," exclaimed Mr. Vannec r, point.

Now show your room to my guests."
continued his master; and Jack openeJ a
door at which he sloppod to let es pass, and
then followed himself. Everything was
extremely tidy in the small room. There
was a bed with a mattress, a table, some
chairs, drawers, and various toys ; a gun
hung on the wall. 'rho bell was rung;

took - aim, and discharged the gun.without

with the same.skill.
It would be to long to jot down all Mr.

Now you have formed a society, and you have
a certain objeet in view; what is that object?
In looking over your constitution and by-laws
I•tind . the following ProYieions, • Which' will
fully explain the object of your association :---
"A' siok and disabled member; confined.' to
his bed; and requiring the attention of a nurse;
shall receive $3.50 a week; and if his disease
be of a less serious eharacter,.yet so as to in
capacitate him from following and prosecuting
his professional business; he shall receive
0.50 per week, Which alhiwance is to con
tinuo until he is restored to "health, or un

tion shall pity to his widow oe.rolutivea $25,
for add towards his decent interment, 'mid at
the next stated ineetiug cache:tat:niter aliall pay
an extra contribution of 25 eta., which shall
be given to the widoW. If the eceased was a
widower end leave minor children, then the 25
cents'extre' is to be paid to the guardian of
said children. Should the deceased member
be au unmarried man then the members shall
pity at the next regular meeting 123 eta, each
which is to go to the widow 01' children of such
deceased members as a committee appointed
for that purpose shall deem fit. If the wife of
a member-die, such member shall receive $l5
towards her interment. If any member shall
'be 'disabled by reason of old age, bodily infir
.mity, casualty, or become mentally deranged.
hi shnll receive $2.50 per week during such
disability or affliction. In ease of the sickness
of amenilem, confined to bed, a committee is
appointed to sit up , with him, and attend to
his wants." From theie and similar expecte
miens in your &JIM tItU does and tiy-laWmt it. is
