Had I met thee in life's morning,
When my heart wee fresh and gap,
Hre_sorrow's_clo_ull_garewarning,_
Of my future darkened way.
While the flush of hope *as brightest,
Tinging all youth's rosy sea—
then, deafest one ! then mightest
Have bteathed thy love for me!
Thy wordsom full of mdarring,
Thrill wildly through my soul:
They St °use me from my dreaming,
And all ray thoughts control;
But as the blighted floWer
Feels_irotthe sum nor-rain,
My heart resists thy poWet-. 7 .
It ne'er can love agairr.
I (eel thy spititineseile4
When thou art far away;
Its bright, ethereal essence
'Humes my lonely way,
And oft, methinks, 'tis breathing
Of joys that ne'er depart.
While smiles of love are wrenthingp
Once more around my heart.
— Once mord Oh shall I waken
The memory of the pattr
And tell of vows forsaken
-01 Love's bright sky o'ercast
Griefs night without a morrow,
-00-dark-and-deep-for-tears
Of Unavailing sorrow,
Through long and weary years?:
Away with vain regretting
Ms useless to - Merle ! -
I would, the past forgetting,
Again seek pleasure's shrine.
My heart's fond dream of madness
The worldwill never know;
For o'er the deep of sadness,
Bright rainbow smiles shall gloW:
Italia's flowers are growing•
Upon the mountain side;
,While deep within is flowing
The burning lava-tide.
And though this heart is breaking,
I'll sing of joy atone,
And Love's fond strain ;awaking,
bhtlll mingle in each tone.
THERE HEVER WAS.
There neter was unearthly dream
Of beauty and delight,
'That mingled not too soon with clouds,
As sun-tays With the night;
'That faded not from that fond heart,
Where once it loved to stay—
And left that heart more desolate,
For having felt its swap
over-vas-rtrg
But it was dimmed with tears,
Caused by each griefs us ever dull
The sunshine of our years;
We look upon the sweetest flower—.
'Tie withered soon, and gone;
We gaze upon a star, to find
But darkness where it shone.
There never was a noble heart,
A mind of worth •and power,
That bad not, in this changing woad,
Pain, misery, for its dower;
The laurel on the brow bath hid
• . From many a careless eye ;
The secret of the soul within,
Its blight and agony.
There never was—there cannot be—
On earth a precious spring,
Whew w!ters'to the. fevered lip,
Unfailing,'We may bring;
All changeth on this troubled shore,
Or passeth from the sight—
Oh ! for that world wheie joy and peace

:John," said Charley,. "I have no ties on
earth compared to those which., bind you.—
Let me take your place. We are not un

not take especial interest in us."
"Take my place, Charley ? What is it you
offer me—happiness? come what may—and
death by my comrades' hands will be my
doom—butqf I see once more my gllen, I

"You shall see her, for I tell you I will

I had around me concealed my features as I
came. We are the same hight! we will ex
change our dress, and all will be well."
"Quick, Quick, then!"
Here the brothers began to make the ex
change of the uniform for the plain clotheS,
and when all was accomplished, it was
most impossible to tell one brother from the
other.
"Now, Charley, this cell is solitary, but
that takes away all danger of recognition; no
One will speak to you, your food will be reg
ularly brought. There is nothing to fear.—
I shall certainly not be sentenced before two
weeks, and in five days I shall he back.—
Good.liye, Charley, good-bye; if I had a long
life before me, what devotion could repay
this sacrifice; but as my days are numbered,
remember, through all your future life, which
may God make a long one, that my last pray

the love you have shown me. Good-bye, and
rest in peace, for you must be sure that if
there were danger, I should not leave you

"Give me your band again," said Charley,
striving to suppress all emotion in his voice.
GoodbyeGoodibye s John, kiss mother for me, and may
Ellen dive to—well, no matter, God bless you,
dear good John, my boyish companion, the
friend of my life."
"God bless and reward you, Charley, for
the happiness you are bringing to those who
soon will have but you on earth to console
them."
And so John, utterly unconscious of the
doom to which he was .leaving his brother,
drew the shawl pp about his face, and air.

the words that wet the eyes of John on the

that seemed to bnittils he proceeded, he read

shriek of agony echoed through that home!
John understood all—his brother had died

CHRONICLE'S 157 i ": ' ,
1. Now it came to pass that there hose in
the southwest, a man mighty in valor and on
whom the Lord had called to memo ven
gence: upon the hosts of Jeff, that all might
be fulfilled which the prophets of the Lord
had promised to Abraham. 'The name of
this mighty man was William Tecumseh,
whose surname was Sherman.
2. And Ulysses, the Chief, said unto Sher
man "Rise, go up against the rebellious hosts,
smite them with the cannon and the sword,
and with all the weapons of war,"
3. And Sherman came upon the hosts of
Jeff in a high mountain called "Look Out,"
-and-his-soldiers-pros d them even above the
clouds of the earth, and smote them hip and
thigh with great slaughter.
1 1 4. And the hosts of rebellion fled from
the mountains even to the valleys and to the
great rivers, and to the land of Georgia,
and
cast trenches round about a city called At
lanta, where was rebels in great number, with
guns of brass and iron, and horses and• char
iots, and places for making great guns and
much ammunition, and was ootton and tur
pentine in great abundance.
5. And the hosts of Sherman followed the
army of Jeff and smote them with great
slaughter, capturing horses,
mules, and char
iots in great numbers, and prisoners not a
few.
1 G. And SI
-. Ant, .nerman came up to the great ci
ty where the rebels were entrenched, and lo!
the hosts of Jeff had departed, and the sol
diers of Sherman entered the city and re
joiced, and gave thinks unto the Lord who
had delivered the city into their hands,
7. And after the army of Sherman had
rested from its labors for a few short days
Ulysses said unto Sherman, "Arise, and pur
sue the rebels unto all their cities, and smite
them until they shall reach 'the last ditch,'"
S. And Sherman obeyed and marched his
army against Savannah, a eity'of Jeff, where
there was much spoil.
.9, When the army of Sherman came down
before Savannah, lo! the Rebel host had fled
thence through a swamp, over against the
river, after the manner of a skedaddle.
10. Then the army of Sherman pursued
the running hosts of the Rebels to the
gates of Charleston, the birth-place of rebell
jar', the home of the great traitor John,
whose surname was Calhoun, a traitor,, and
father of traitors, the same where the ruffian
hosts fired on Fort Sumpter, the strong tow•
or held by Robert, whose surname was An
derson,
.11. Theo the hosts of Sherman prepared
their guns and their engines of war, to at
. tack the hosts of treason, and when all was
ready, the soldiers of Sherwin went forward,
and lo! the hosts of Beelzebub•had fled, and
kindled a great fire which destroyed much
cotton and remains of the doomed city. And
the fort of Robert, and all , the strongholds
of the city were taken, and the people of A
braham came in great ships, and they alb re
joiced and gave thanks unto the Lord for de
livering the city out of the hands of traitors.
12. Now it was in the eighteenth day of
the second _Month of the year one thousand
-i,gli-t-liundred — artd — siziplour,, that — the so -
diers of Sherman entered the mat city.
13, And Jeff the traitor had reigned just
forty and eight months on that day, and
when his counsellors were gathered togeth
er they saw the handwriting 'on the wall :
Alene, mane, telele upharsin. And Jeff's
knees smote together, and he eried•in.a loud'
voice, father, Beelzebub, help us, and
'deliver us out of the hands of the Yankee !"
14. Thed Beelzebub fled and left his faith
ful fbllowers to their own destruction' •
1k And again .Ulysses, the Chief, said
unto 'General John, whose surname is 'Scho
field, "Arise, go up against the rebel hosts,
encamped in and around the city of Wit
mingt7n, in •the land of pitch, tar, and ros
in, and smite• them with the cannon and the
sword, both• by-land and by water." "
16... And Schofield, by land, David
(whose surname is Porter), by water, in ships
of war, came upon the hosts ofJeff at the
mouth of the great :harbor, and. pressed them
sorely by land and by sea, po that they "get
up andzot," leaving the strong forts in the
hands of the valliant warrior of Abraham.
Ilten the lathy of 'Sehaeld divided,
add a valiant GlatiMal; Whose surname is• Te
rry, with 'Many • dothpanies, marched,' on 'a
strong fort held by , the host of Jeff, called
Fisher. And Porter, with ships of Iron,
sailed'itp the river, add the rebel hostairc
t - )
-- itgb - i --- the• mighty army of
Abraham, and•they "got up and got." .
18. And on the twenty-second day of ,the
second month, the army of Abraham entered ,
the rebellious city of Wilmington singing,
even as Marian of Old sang-before the army
of the as,
The Soldiers of Abraham cap
cured much merchandise, and cotton and
guns, and powder, and the hats of Jeff she.
daddled.
19. And the army of Sherman, a mighty ,
host s numbering three score and ten thnii
sand men; is marching on to encompass the
ehief city of the rebels, the last that remains
of all their F oseessieoe, and' supposed to 'be
"the last ditch."
20. Thus was fulfilled all that has been
spoken by the prophets, and that the Lord
promised unto his servant Abraham to this
day. Selah

thereof to be destroyed under any circum
stances, if in my power to prevent it; and
that I will at all times discountenance and

help me God.' No person shall be admitted

provided however, that any person 'who, un

Sec. 2. And be it enacted, That this act

Meeting at the Tap.
A hundred years and more ago, a numer
ous body of Presbyterians who had seceded
from the Established
was split in two on a quarrel about.a clause
in the oath required of the freemen of cer
tain- Scottish boroughs, which expressed
"their hearty allowance of the true religion
at present professed within -the realms, and
authorized by the laws thereof." The par
enwho held that the oath might be consci
tiously taken by the seceders' were called
"Burghers," and their opponents "Anti bur
ghers." Johnny Morton, a keen Burgher,
and Andrew Gobble, a decided Anti biargh
er, both lived in the same house, but at op
posite ends, and it was the bargain that each
should keep his own side of the houde well
thatched., When the dispute about the prin
ciples..of their kirks, and especially the offen
sive &use in the oath, grew hot, the two
neighbors ceased to speak to each other.
But one day they happened to be on the
roof at the same time, 'each -repairing the
thatch in the slope of the roof'on , his own
side, and when they had worked up to , the
toy, there they were face to face. They
could not flee, so at last Andrew took off his
cap and scratching his head said, "Johnnie,
you antilime, I think, hae been , !very foolish
to dispute, as we hae done,concerning Christ's
will about our kirks,.until we hae clean for
got His will about ourselves; and •we had
fought sae bitterly for what ea' the truth,
that it has ended in spite, • Whatever's wrang
it's perfectly certain that it never can be fight
to be uncivil, unneighborly, unkind, in fact
tae hate one another.' Na, na , that's 'the
deevel's work, and not God's. Nbo, it strikes
me that may be it's wi' the kirk• as vi! this'
house; pe've working
. 011 ae side ,and me on
the either, but if we only do out warn weel,
we will meet at the, tap at last. Gie's your
ban's amid neighbor!" And so they shook
hen', and were thu_liest_ettreens—liver-after.,

sunset clouds. My spirit was'stired within
me, for I had beard two , faithful, heart

Tenderly but faithfully had our . pastors
pointed out the failings of professing Chris

diligence in life's great work. Earnestly did
he ask us to plead with And for dying sin

Though it might be a cross to us, was it

'ere , on these things, gazing into the deep
ening darkening, a faint glimer of a star
caught my. eye. I watched it as it' grew
brighter and brighter. Soon star after star
appeared till the heavens were studed with
bright gems. Something whispered to me,
"And they that be wise shall shine, as the
bright of the Alinement and they. that 'turn
May. to righteousness as the stars forever and
ever." Is not here a motive for activity in
doing. good. Do we realize the greatness of
the reward of those who are "wise ?" With
such a . prospect let us take up the cross, re
