A FRAGMENT,


Before us, and far on in the distance, rushes dis
tracted ocean of water. For long distance from the
precipce where the furious rage of the flood has COM

mastery, and rushing with redoubled speed as each
slight descent of the rapids increases its awful pow
er.
Now, perchance, they divide round an intercepting
them now, again, these struggling forces rush to-
gether-the barrier cleared-and join and wrestle in
deader conflict than before.
"Giye me but the first leap :" is the almost audi

DEATH OF MR.. HARDING.

1t is our painful duty to announce the death OF
Fisher fines Harding, Esq. one of the Editors OF
this paper. He died at the residence of William Hale
Esq. in this city on Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock
His health had been feeble for two years, but did not
assume an alarming character till within the past
two weeks. The last week of his life was one ofmen
tai delirum and of great apparent physical suffering
Mr.. Harding was born at Dover Massachusetts,, in
1911. He graduated at Harvard Univers;iy in 1888,
and studied law for two years in the office of Hon.
Daniel Webster, at Boston. In 1885 he removed to
Chicago, for the practice of the law. In 1887 he
came to this city to form law partnership with
Fletcher Webster, Esq. CT Boston.
In 184I, he was elected member from this county
to the state Legislature, and bore conspicuous part
in the proceedings of the House of Representatives.
The same year he became associated with Morgan
Bates Esq in the editorial management of this paper,
and cotinued in connexion with 1t excepting about a
years interval, to the time of his death.
In the profession Of the law, Mr. Harding known
as thorough student and an upright councillor, but
his natural taste disqualified him for the turmoil and
strife of active professional life. He loved the shade
of retiracy, and it here, with friends who saw him
daily, that the dignity and purity of his characteristic
brllliancy of his talents and the extent of his acquire
ments, commanded their admiration, while ga daily
beauty in his life' won their love aud esteem.
We dare not trust ourselves, under the feelings of
the moment, to speak of our late friend and associ
ate as we feel. We shall not exaggerate, however,
when we say that his generous nature his remarka-
BILE freedom for selfish feelings and conduct, and his
native modesty were acknowledged BY, and won the
respect OF even casual acquaintance. Though re-
markably attached to political party, it disturbed
not his social relations, and his political writings
were not distinguished by their purity and sim
pcity of style, than by their fairness and courtesy
towards his political opponents. He passed through
the agtations and exctements of the past few years.
an active participant, but, believe, without
ring the personal animosity of any one, and he died
without an enemy.
To say that the death of such man-of SO much
so much information-of SO much good
ness of heart is great loss to the community,would
be but to use trte phrase to express solemn iee-
ing. To us personally, the loss of one from whom,
after years of daily intercourse recall not one
instance of unkind and angry feeling Oh word-whose
sound judgement, extensive knowledge, and social
qualities we have had occasion daily to admre-is
indeed irreparable. We may be permitted to grieye
over his premature grave; for we feel
"'Tis manliness r.
To be heart-broken here
For the grave of Earth's best nobeness
Is watered by a tear"

A COOLER TO VANITY.

Christopher North rebukes inordinate self-esteem

his audience, interesting looking woman in mourn

man, when service was over, spoke much to the min
lister of the parish about the case with evident graf
cation at the powerful effect of his discourse, and
proposed visiting the distressed nearer at her house.
This acceded to- and having called upon her, the
young man opened the conversation. Il perceived

IT'S morn-the sea breeze seems to bring
Joy, health, and freshness on its wing
Bright flowers, to me all strange and new,
Are glittering in the early dew
And perfumes rise from every grove,
As incense to the clouds that move
Like spirits DER yon welkin clear
But am sad-thou art not here.
IT'S noon-a calm, unbroken sleep
Is on the blne waves of the deep
A soft haze, like a fairy dream,
Is floating over wood and stream;
And many broad magnolia flower,
Within its shadowy woodland bower,
Is cleaning like a lovely star
But / am sad-thou art afar.
IT'S eve-on earth the sunset skies
Are painting their own Eden dyes
The stars come down, and trembling glow
Like blossoms in the waves below;
And, like some unseen sprite, the breeze
Seems lingering mid these Orange trees,
Breathing its music round the spot
But am sad see thee not.
IT'S midnight-with soothing spell,
The far tones of the ocean swell,
Soft as mothers cadence mild
Low bending DER her sleeping child
And on eacS wandering breeze are heard
The rich notes of the hooking bird,
In many wild and wondrous lay-.-
But am sad-thou art away.
sink IN dreams-low sweet, and clear,
Thy own dear voice is in my ear
Around my neck thy tresses Irvine
Thy own loved hand is clasped in mine
Thy own soft lip to mine is pressed
Thy head is pllowed on my breast
Oh! have all my heart holds dear
Aud am happy-thou art here.

! ANECDorE OF FATHER MooDY.-Father Moody
born in Newbury, in 1876, graduated at Harvard
College in 1897, and settled at York, Me, in l747-
He refused to receive from his people stipulated
salary and lived with them half century on their
voluntary donations. The following anecdote is re-
lated of him in the Lowell Offering:
Col. Ingraham, wealthy parishoner, had retained
his large stock of corn in time of great scarcity, in
hope of raising the price. Father Moody heard of
it, and resolved upon public attack upon the trans
gressor. So he arose in the pulpit one Sabbath, and
named as his text Prov. IL; 81; "IIe that Withhold
deth corn, the people shall curse him; but blessings
shall be upon the head of him that selIeth it, Col.
lngraham could not but know to whom the reference
was made: but he held up bis head and faced his pas.
tor with look of stole Inconsistencies. Father
Moody went on with some very applicable remarks,
but Col. Ingraham still pretended not to understand
the alusion. Father Moody grew very warm, and
still more direct in his remarks upon matters and
things. But. Col. still held his head as nigh, per-
haps little higher, and would not put on the coat
prepared for him. Father Moody at length lost all
patience. "Col. Ingrsham' said he, s.you kno,o
that mean you. Why don't you hang down your
headr'

of Lord Rossc remarks, recent lecture, that
with regard to the lunar orb, every object on the

had doubt that under very favorable circumstances
it would be SO with objects sixty feet In height
On its surface craers ofextnct volcanoes rocks
and masses of stone almost irnumerable. He had
no doubt whatever that If such building as he was
then in upon the surface of the moon, it would
be rendered distinctly visible by these instruments.
But there signs o. habitations such ours;

the moon is inhabited by of NOR
