And there was wreathing up for evermore Pure incense, from an altar of bright gold, Whew all sweet thoughts assembled to adore And touch the sacred fire—with bliss untold , Then in that temple. all was light and joy ; And melody and beauty mingled there : Now conic and look. How dark and desolate. How cold, how voiceless, all its chambers arc! Long since, the bitter waters of despair Quencli'd out the lire upon that altar stone: And mournine; spread her pall of midnight there, And music died, in one low quivering -moan. Yet oft at midnight, to the bolted door sl.reet, pensive groups of spirit memories come, The dear. faces shadow'd o'er With tender badnes by the twilight gloom.

In a F•peech delivered at the New England Sup per in New York we tind the following : "In olden time there was a man in New Hampshire, who was in youth bound ap prentice, as we call it there, to a farmer, and the farmer was bound by his covenants to give Jinn three months schooling iii the year—a good old Yankee custom, and 1 trust one in New Turk—but unlike van kee masters in general, he failed to give the boy an hour's schooling., and he never had one to the day of his death. In the French war of •50, this boy entered the army as a private, and he fought himself up to a commission, first as a warrant offi cer, then as an ensign, and upon the peace of Paris in 1763 he left the army, ratite home, and his first step was to bring a suit ap, , ainst his master for breach of contract in not sending him to school, And the mas ter compromised his claim and gave him a tract of land that is the family homestead now. The war of the revolution came, and this same man, now captain of militia, went with his company to West , Point, and there at the time of Arnold's treason, he stood guard before Washington's head quarters, and the next morning' WaShing ton thanked hint in person for his vigilance and fidelity.

MISS MARTINEAU 'ON LOVE One of our contemporaries, in a late No. asks if it not a little remarkable ''that Miss Martineau, a lady certainly 'of no great personal attraction, and who, judging froth her masculine appearance and de meanor, probably never had a lover, strict ly speaking, in the whole course of her life lady who does, not hesitate to go eve ry where that "mqn dare," with her ear trumpet, like an elephant'S trunk, in a me nagerie, picking up and "swallowing every thing that is given her, in the way of the marvellous, the ridiculous and the beauti ftd; is it not a little remarkable, we say, that such a lady.should have written one of the most beautiful pictures of the uni versality of love that was ever yenned Such Is the feet nevertheless. "There needs no other proof," says she, "that happiness is the most wholesome moral atmosphere, and that iii wh ich the immortality of inan is destined ultimately to thrive, than the elevation of soul, the re -li. ions aspiration which attends the first so her certainty of true love. The statesman is the leader of a ,nation-; .the warrior is the grace of an age ; the philosopher is the birth of jt thousand years; but the lover— where is he not ! Wherever parents look round upon their children, there he has been; wherever children are at play together, there he soon,will be ; wherever there are roofs under which men dwell—wherever there is an. atmosphere vibrating with hu man voices, there is the lover, and there is his lofty worship going on—unspenkable, but revealed in the brightnes of the eye, the majesty- of the presence, and the high tem per of the discourse. True love continues and will continue to send up its homage a midst the meditations of eventide, and the busy hum of noon and the song of morning stars."

He called her a fool for her pains, and never omitted an occasion to tease her upon the subject.

GETTYSBURG, PA., FRIDAY EVENING. MAY 22, 1846. SHOCKING OCCURRENCE' AT THE MARYLANIF HOSPITAL.—The Baltimore tStm kis the follow ing particulars of a shocking atEtir at the Mary land Hospital. • "On Thursday morning, about seven o'- clock, as one of the keepers of the Mary= land Hospital was in the act of entering the room of a colored patient, named Mi chael M'Hurd,'Situated in the basement of the building, for the purpose of changing the dress of the man, the latter rushed out past him, apparently with a view of rata- king his escape. Becoming instantly a ware that the patient wa s laboring tinder a fit of madness, to which he was subject at times (although between the paroxysms he was generally very quiet,) the keeper called for assistance, and was in a few mo ments reinforced by another. Sezing hold of an article in the chamber, Michael struck the latter in• the face cutting him severely, and also injuring one of his arms. Wrench ing a piece from a bed stead in his room, ire rushed by the keeper's and succeded in get ting up to the second floor, where he chanc ed to pass by one of the inmates, named J. W. Higgiss, of Talbot county, who had been fur some time in the institution, and who was at the moment leaning over a halt' door, looking into the yard. In passing Michael struck Higgins with the stick on the back of the head with such force as to knock him down into the yard, frOin which blow and fall he was so severely injured that he died immediately. A short dis tance further along ,the passage he met another inmate, who was engaged in sweeping, named Samuel Law, whom he struck over the head, inflicting so severe an injury upon him that he died a short time after. He then passed into the yard where he was surrrounded by . the keep ers and finally captured, by being, caught, in the breast with a hay fork, which one of the assistants picked up as the black rushed upon him with his weapon. The.forie wounded him lint slightly; but held him by the clothes until he was properly secured. The men who were injured received im mediate attention front the resident physi , . clan of the institution, but, as we have sta ted, one died almost instantly-, and the oth er a short time after. The insane man was of course properly secured." ANECDOTE OF Dti. FIUNICLIS.-TllO C6ll - versation-having turned'on riches, in pres ence of Dr. Frank'Mond a young person in the company having expressed his sur prise that they ever should be attended with such anxiety and solicitude, instancing one of his acquaintances, who, though in pos session of unbounded wealth, yet was as busy and more anxious than the most as siduous clerk in his counting house—the Doctor took an apple from a fruit basket and presented it to a little child, who could just totter about . the room. The child could scarcely grasp it in his hand. lie then gave it another, w Inch occupied the the oilier hand. Then choosing a third, remarkable for it size and beauty, he pre sented that also. The child, after many ineffectual attempts to hold three, dropped last on the rapet, and burst into tears. "See there," said the philosopher, "there is a little man with more tidies than he can en joy." t ComcAssioN.—Compassion is an emo tion of which we ought never to he asha ined. “racefill, particularly in youth, is the tear of sympathy, and the heart that melts at the tale of wo. We should not permit ease and indulgence to contract our affections, and wrap us up in selfish enjoy ment ; but we should accustom ourselves to think of the distresses of human life, of the solitary cottage, the dying parent, and the weeping orphan. utxa IN TIIE EAR.-A gentleman in Cincinnati, Ohio, oh Thursday night week, was aroused from his sleep by a voice, as he said, "louder than thunder," and springing from his bed, he raved through the house like a maniac, the thun der still continuing. The inmates of the house being aroused, it was found that the 'thunder' was caused by something . which had found its war into his ear. He was then taken to a physician, and, on the way the pain in his car was so agonizhig, than: !IL. sent forth - the Most heart-rending shrieks. On arrivin, at the houSb of the physician, it was necessary to hold the unfortunate man, until his ear underwent the necessary examination. 'file physician finally intro duced his instrument, and extracted a large black cockrauch,when the item was imme diately relieved. Nt:w Yowl( CoLoNizATto,i SoctETY.— The N.

An unusually short crop in that extensive and productive Wheat is believed to be inevitable.—Rich. We are sorry to learn that the ily is de stroying the early Wheat in this neighbor- hood. We have not ourselves had an op portunity of seeing much of its ravages, but what we have seen was su flicient to make the heart sick. Our little crop of some 25 acres, upon which a short lilac back, we bragged pretty extensively, is so entirely eaten up, that we doubt very much ' whether we shall put a cradle into it. We earnestly hope, however, that ours is the worst; if it is not, others must be in a sad predicament.

Early in October, the stems of:the plant which had borne no . flowers were strong and green ; the others yellow, and in a state of decay.
