THE SABBATH BELL.

To all civilized nalions-to all who re- were the name of Him who fixed tho stars to all who stand tn awe of the great are chitect of nature and of ourselves, the Sab- bath Bell hath grateful sound. It ts.rikes a deep and awful call to every man of re. Aec,ion. It invites the good and pure heart to an holy intercourse with the De- ity, and it warns the obstinate and de- piaved to pause, and turn, and be received. Alter tho tolls of the secular week. the morning Sabbath Bell tolls in the ear of the busy people to rest from their labors, and enjoy the calm which the great AL mighty hath ordained--it rings to aIl nature the tunes of peace and good will to man.
 The solemni,ies of our religion are va riously observed with equal value to man.
 On Sabbath morning. in the country, when Providence is breathing its smiles upon the earth, it is refreshing to hear the call of the country Sabbath Bell; to join tho devotional procession as 1t wends it's way in silence to the house that is dedica- ted to the God of the Universe. There is holy charm in contemplating their simple and unadorned ai,ire-emblematical of the spotlessness of,he spirit wi.liM--'heir meek and unaffected devotion, and the quiet com cern of the soul in things that speaks of everlasting peace.
 Nor in a populo"s city is the spectacle less solemn. After the turmoil of business, and the Vaccinations of the week, the Sab bath Bell calls the venerable and the great, the young, the gay and beautiful. 'o re- member Him who imparts his blessings [" the just and even to the unjust. The pros" porous tradesman, and ihe opusent mer- chant. are called from their carcs to devote a few hours to holy recreation.
 They assemble in the holy house, all the diversified passions arc lullcd to rest, the business of the world is forgotten. and amidst the profound silence ofthe throng. voice proclaims. " The Lord is in his holy Templc"-every heart and voice responds with conscious conviction. and with inc deep and awful peal of the solemn organ hundreds unite in praise to the mighty au- thor of their existence. and in humble snp- plica,ion to ,bs dread, ye. still mercifal Al. mighty.

Go back, you scOundrcl, or I'll horse- whip you; and if you're longer than an hour. I'll have you tucked in the horse pond
 Andy vanished, and made second visit to the post "fficc.s When he arrived, two other persons were getting letters, and the postmaster was selecting the epis,les for each, from parcel that lay before him on the counter at the same time many shop customers were waiting to be served.
 I'm come for that letlher,' said Andy. 'I'll attend to you by and by
 The masIher's tn a hurry.'--' Let him wait till his hurry's over.'
 He'll murlher me if m not back soon.' I'm glad to hear it,
 While the postmaster went on with such provoking answers to these appeals for des- patch, Andy's eye caught the heap of let- ters that lay on the counter so, while cer- tain weighing of soap aud tobacco was go- ing forward, he contrived to become pos sessed of two letters from the heap; aud having effected that, waited patiently e. nough until it was ,he great mans pleasure to give him the missive directed to his mas ter. .e
 Then did Andy bcstride his hack. and, in triumph at his trick on the postmaster, rat'led along the road homeward as fast as his hack would carry him. He came into the Squire's presence, his face beaming with delight, an air of self-salisfied superi. ority in his manner, quite unaccountable to his master, until he pulled forth his hand, 1, which had been grubbing up his prizes from the bottom of his pocket, and holding three letters over his head, while he said, Look at that !'-he next slapped them down un- der his broad fist on the table before the Squire saying,
 Well if he did make me pay eleven pence, by gor, brought your honor the worth o'your money, any how.'
 A THOUGHT. r.--There is mysterious feel ing that frequently passes like cloud over the spirits. It comes upon the soul in the busy bus,lc of life, in the social circle, and in the calm and silent retreats of solitude. Its powers are alike supreme over the weak aud iron hearted. At one time i. is caus- ed by the fitting of a single thought a- cross the mind again the sound will come booming across the ocean of memory, gloomy and solemn as the death knell, over- shadowing all the bright hopes and sunny feelings of the heart. Who can describe it, and yet who has not felt its bewildering influence? !? Still it is a delicious sort of sorrow; and like cloud dimming the sum- shino of a river, although causing mo. men,ary shade of gloom, it enhances the heautv If refnrninO hriUhtness lt iS in moments liko these that the pious mind ri- ses from tho sordid interests of this sublu. nary world, and ascends to full communion with it's Maker. The past will Ait across the memory. mourntul and swee. like the low and lingering tones of distant music ; the present, like the rush of mighty winds, yet noiseless as the slumbcr of an unawa- kened echo and the future spreads the soft and downy pillow of the tomb, when the spirit is to leave this tenement of clay and enter the portals that open to tue teli. city of an eternal immoI tality.

FOR THE ENQUIRER. THE ICE STORM.

 Full soon OCT our fair fields to spread.
 And lay all low. T was night! and darkness all profound Reigned here, and there, above, around,
 T was midnight gloom; The raindrops murmured in the breeze, And falling fast as fast they freeze, Adhering to the shrubs and trees,
 Presagng doom. T was morning! but no sun was seen, The earth was wrapped in silver sheen.
 Twas awful, grand; The storm continued, and it froze, Each tiny twig giant grows, And icy monuments arose
 Der all the land. The angel of destruction stood, With sword unsheathed in vengeful mood,
 Prepared to slay: T would seem that the Almighty's hand Was outstretched OCT our guilty land, And bidding thoughtless mortals stand
 In dread dismay. What are those fearful sounds we hear7 Some dread calamity draws near,
 Where shall we run7 That ceaseless cracking, crashing sound, Of branches thickly strewed around, And trees hurled headlong to the ground,
 What can be done? Our fruit and shade trees marr'd and spoiled, Our hopes deferred, our plans are foiled.
 Alas the day! The forests tottered, and they broke, Like grain before the reaper's stroke The hickory and iron oak
 In ruin lay. An me where are those lovely trees, Whose foliage trembled in the breeze.
 In years gone by7 Our fruit trees scathed, are all destroyed. Our forests but a wasting void, And those sweet shades we once enjoyed.
 All wasted lie. Tongue cannot tell, nor pen relate. This scene 90 sad, 90 desolate,
 And yet 50 grand: No skill ofman can count the cost, Nor tell the treasure we have lost, By this all-desolating frost,
 Throughout the land. Yet thanks to Him who rules above. Whose chastisements are sent in love,
 For still we live. We still are on probation ground. Where peace, where virtue may be found, And may our hearts with grace abound.
 And praises give. And should the fg.tree never blow, Nor cluster in the vine should glow,
 Nor olive fill; And if the fields should yield no meat, Nor folded aocks be heard to bleat, Nor lowing herds the ear should greet,
 We'll trust Him still. The following lines were taken from the outside o letter while in the Post Office in Chicago, Illinois.
 ON THE ONE SIDE. On pinions fleet as thought may you Ger hills and dales your course pursue; Nor weary yet, nor stop to rest, Till in that-Eden-the far West, Arrived at-lllinois--you land; In young-Chcago-fair and grand, Then seek-Sir Royal Fox-and see You tell him all I've told to thee.
 ON THE OTHER SIDE. In these hard times for cash and rhymee. Say would it be sin, On the outside for me to write, As there's no room within I'm from Down East, I'm not in jest, Nor bent on speculation, But going West, I'm there to rest. And see some choice relation. I've much to say, but cannot stay. Just now. to tell long stories, That Yankee trait, truly hate. Of boring Wings or Tories.
