On the death of Martha Jane, wife Of Rev. A.
Webster, who died IN Chesterfield, N H., Nov. 6,
1912, aged q years.
Thou arr gone 10 that land where the weary shall
rest,
Thou hast entered those mansions prepared for the
hest,
All thy conflicts are past, and thy trials are DER,
And the sorrows of earth shall afct thee no more.
In the morning Of life, thy sun ir and bright,
But II sci ere It gained the c.erdau height
10 II sunk at 10 iusi with lustre divine,
:" eternity rose more Respondent TO shine
Although death has discovered the tenderest ties,
And thy body once blooming, in ruin now lies,
AT the sound OF the trump il shall leave the dark
tomb,
In the vigor Of youth and immortal in bloom.
Though thy kindred now mourn, and their loss
deeply feel,
Yet heavenly balm all their sorrows can heal;
Zen the thought of thy state now assuages their
pain,
For to them what is loss is thine infinite gain.
Lo when nature was sinking, and sorrow was
thine,
Then the lamp of thy love still more brightly did
shine;
Then to kindred and friends thy last counsels were
given,
Oft The question proposed, "Will you meet me in
Heaven
"Wi you meet me in heaven? where sorrows
shall cease,
And where joys all immortal shall ever increase
There the waves Of bright glory necessarily roll.
And the smie of the Savior enraptures the soul -

The sun is said to present singular ap-
pearance; and to have something the mat
ter with portion of its disc, over which a
smoky vapor seems to hang. 1t is Of little
consequence what fancios we adopt respect
ing this extraordinary phenomena. It may
be that tits the commencement of that dis
ruption in the planetary system whichis to
blot out the suns fiery orb, and envelope
the world with all created nature, in one
general confagFation such win
ding up Of the material world as is foretold
by holy writ is probably, and indeed not
only probably, but certain, may be inferred
from the extraordinary fact that during the
three last centuries not less than fifteen hun
dred different consultations, none Of them
below the sixth degree of magnitude, have
totally persisted. Forty have changed their
sizes. Several instances are known in which
| they have unquestlonably been consumed by
| fire. Their first unnatural appearance has
been a bright flaming rush-light aspect, so
bright as to be visible at MONDAY to the
naked eye, which gradually became paler
until an ashy hue marked the spot, and then
they have disaPpea altogether, and the
spaces which they occupied in the heavens
have become blank upon its vast face One
of these burning orbs was sixteen mouths
from the time of its first being discovered
on fire until it was bloted out Of the con-
stellation.
That which has befallen plants which may
have given light and ffuctifying seasons, as
the sun gives heat and fruitfulness to our
earth, will also in time befal our own. The
times nor seasons we know not. nor the man

is to be brought about, but nothing we think
more certain. Whether, like the phenix.

NEWSPAPER SpOngers.

The editor of the Richmond Star, who
has been not only cheated, but positively
assaulted IN the street, by a newspaper
sponge, whom he had exposed in his columns,
thus expresses his deliberate opinion Of the
whole race. It is about Fight.-Pd. Tel.
ave have horror of spongers. The
whole history Of the newspaper press is a his
tory of toll, and intense wretchedness and
suffering. The public do not dream of the
amount of misery to which publishers have
been subjected, not TO mention The extent
of ruin and loss that has fallen upon hun
dreds of establishments, solely through the
conduct of suckers and spongers. The life
OF faithful editor or publisher, is worse than
that of slave. He has no rest, no recrea-
ton, and the usual indulgence that even the
slave has, are shut out from him. By far the
majority depend alone upon their Industry
for success; and by that they rise or fall.
But that suffering and anxiety, Of which the
public cannot know, has been caused in the
majority of cases by spongers; men who pa
tr0aize these hard -toiliEg individuals. with
the design to cheat them out of their nav.
The sweat and labor of the editor is given
to raise the means to furnish these sponpers
with what they want: and hundreds by these
means have been led on and deceived 70
rum by apparent success, so derived. They
have lost their means, and their labor, their
time and their health, aud lived and died
wTetched and miserable, solely by the acts
Eof that class which we call spongers''

The Things we Love, they Pass Away.

InG AMAmbS w AAgNN9 INV y ass away
BY MISS LOUISE, OF BALTIMORE.
The things we love, they pass away,
With all the hopes that round them cling,
The cheerful birds, the fragrant flowers,
The gentle smile and breath of spring
The summers warmer, brighter joys,
The fruits Of autumn, winters mirth,
Perish and pass, like pebbles light,
With the same hour that sees their birth.
And cen the forms that near us move
The friends, for whom we'd fain resign
Life and its bliss to save one pang,
Crushing the hearts that round them Irvine,
Pass, pass away down to the grave,
All hnsh'd in sleep that knows no dream,
Cold % the SHOWS on Alpine heights
That melt not to the SUMS warm beam.
'Tis true that time may bring again
The birds, the flowers, the breath of spring
Waken the summers myriad charms
And DER our path her beauties fling;
While autumn's fruits and winters Joys
Follow successfully her train,
Yet never, never may the friends
Who fade and fall revive again.
All! no-they sleep while seasons change,
And fast recede the long, long years
We may not rouse them-'tis in vain
From feelings fount spring up the tears.
Sad, sad 'tis ever to behold
Life's CHERISHED objects swift decay;
But there's no sorrow keen as that
We feel when lov'd ones pass away.

Country WcWsDaDcFs.

Country Newspapers.
'sThs citizens of a County, are too apt 70
fail in giving proper support to local pa
pers. 1t should be the pride, as il is The
interest Of every citizen of a county to take
some paper published in if. The weekly
visitations of good paper are like the reg
ulaT appearance of an old friend-ihe whole
family will give it welcome, and hold con-
verse with its intelligent pages. We say
good newspaper, and the way to huild up
good local paper, is 10 give il liberal sup
port. A publisher can no more cater for
his readers, than he can from an empty lar
der for his own stomach Tie times are
hard it is true, but this is no good excuse
for that man who neglects to take paper,
and pay for it too. Most publishers have
families, (printers are too sensible TO live
bachelors) and the products of farm, and
the mechanics shop seldom fail TO come in
play in keeping the press in motion. Send
ing east for your newspapers instead of en-
couraging your own, is like sending abroad
for your manufactures, whilst the aitizans in
your midst stand ready TO furnish. The TO
reign paper costs the cash and the cash only,
and when obtained, very often lacks the
real interest and utility of the sheet issued
in your neighborhood. The very advertise
ments and the weekly record of marriages
and deaths, possess an interest in the home
paper, worth TO family, more than the pit
lance the sheet costs, and the contrast in
families where they are not, is ever the sub
ject of remark by intelligent and observing
travellers. The Yankees know too we'll,
the value Of newspapers as mediums of in
telligence and useful knowledge, TO require
sermOnizing on the subject of "tyPes and
shadows" Still, jog in regard to interest
and duty touching the press of their resPec-
tive counties, may not be out of place. 1t
is good motto to-Encourage your own

Costly Joking.

Captain WI, some years ago, when

station, (says the N. Y. Atlas was noted
for possessing a great dislike towards ne
groes. In fact the colored portion Of the
crew were sure, on the least breach Of dis
ciplns, to feel the colt--so much so, that
Lieutenant WIS dislike TO "niggeFs"
became proVerbial throughout the ship.
One chilly morning, dGrkey just off
duty came up to the calaboose to warm his
fingers, as the ships bell struck seven.
"Dar," said he aloud, chuckling at the
same time; "seven bells struck, and not one
niger licked!"
Now it so happened that Lieut.. W-n
was within hearing Unexpectedly, and think

pose) for an insult, sung out, "Boatswain's
mate, this way!" This functionary soon
made his appearance.
"Tie that niger up to the gun, and give
him dozen good ones"
This was soon accomplished. The Lieu
tenant, shrewd, close observing man, had
watched one Of the crew, a negro, with fng-
ers to his nose a Ia Riker, grinning at every
finch which his unfortunate colored brother
received.
''Now," said the Lieutenant, at the con-
clusion Of the punishment, cite up that grin,
ming niger yonder, and give him the same
sauce"
The order was obeyed.
''TheTe!" said LieuteIiant. W--n, turn

"not eight bells, and t,OO niggers licked!'

Canine Fidelity

A most touching incident of canine fdel-
ity occurred lately in this city, which we in
tended TO record at the time, but which, in
the multitude of other duties escaped our
recollection. We received it from the ply
stefan of the family, and its authenticity in
all the particulars is beyond question. A
bright and interesting child, some four years
old, the sen of a merchant of this city, was
much attached to a Newfoundland dog,
about year younger than himself, and the
attachment was fully reciprocated. They
were constant companions, and the little
fellow was scarce ever without his shaggy
playfellow. The boy was taken sick, and
the dog watched BY his bed with solicitude
that was most affecting. He was almost
constantly in the room, and when the ply
stefan made his daily calls, be would look
from him to the child with an expression
which could not be mistaken, and which
plainly showed that he understood both the
object of-the visit and the danger of his lit.
tie master. The child died. The dog
never tasted food afterwards; he refused
every attention and every attempt TO con
sole him, and in three days he died. KIM
hands laid the noble brute by the side O
the boy he loved so well, and tears of genu
inc sorrow moistened the turf that covere,
his noble heart. Who shall say that TN
spirit which animated such affection, die,
