Lorenzo Dow-A Shaker friend at Hancock
told us recently that he saw Lorenzo Dow walk
ing among the tombs," alone, and muttering to
himself early one morning, in the principal grave
ward of village in Connecticut. He soon collected
a great number of lOokers-On, when he mounted
the stone-wal and exclaimed in his peculiar voice !;
. One year from this day shall preach on this spot
at six o'clock in the morning. And want you to
know that when sag six, l mean six; lido n'tmean
seven, nor eight" OF course, the news OF this
appointment soon spread through all the region of
country round about. Just twelve months from that
dav. at precisely six in the morning. and in presence
of more than twenty thousand people, Lorenzo rose
from the long rank grass the graveyard where ne
had been sleeping, mounted the wall, and preached
fantastic, quaint yet eloquent discourse, which
will never be forgotten said our informant " by

AN INCIDENTAL Paris correspondent Of the
New York Herald, writes =" have referred TO the
manner in which one soldier was served, after all
his companions numbering fourteen, had been killed
by the masses during the third day Of the revolu-
ton in Paris at the guard-house of the Place de
la Concorde 1t will be remembered that rushing
through the masses the bayonets and showers of
balls, a female seized him about the neck, calling
him her father, and demanded that they should
spare him In all this she was successful. Not
content with this. she secreted him, and by her
daily labor supported him. until it was safe for him
to make his appearance and gain his own subsist-
ence this he did as soon as he could and finding
himseIfin good business, last week he reciprocated
the protection he had received, by making this
Young girl his wife. The affair has created a good
deal Of interest; and they, at least, will have
cause to be reminded Of the revolution and some Of
its effects -

DAILY CRESCENT.
WHAT is LTFEq

w II N Is Il l.!
The day grows pensive at its close,
And wears sober grey,
And on its face the languor shows
Of autumn's yellow ray
Soon night will spread his sable pail,
The day is dying fast, s.
How ghost-lke are the shadows tall,
That on the ground are cast
Like pilgrims to the shade Of night,
The shades are hast ming on,
To where the brightest grows the hght
When day begins to dawn
A deeper softer sadness shows,
In gentle evening dew
And night DER every feature throws
A sad and Sombre hue.
And now the sound of streams and floods,
Becomes hollow moan;
The rushing of the tees and woods,
Hath now wailing tone,
And plaintive through the air IS heard,
The nighthawk's piping call
There's not Leaf by zephyr stirred,
But hath dying fall.
An emblem of our life below,
In every passing day;
More thoughtful of its end we grow,
When we are growing grey,
Like pilgrim shadows TO the shades.
We soon shall hence be gone;
But when life's day the soonest fades,
A brighter day viii dawn.
The darkness of the silent tomb,
To which we are consigned,
Will cast a sad and solemn gloom,
Ger those we leave behind,
And tears will then bedew the cheek,
And fall upon our bier;
And sad will he the words they speak,
To friends who loved MS here.

THE WAGES OF LABoR.-A distinguished writer
puts forth the following theory on the subject Of
wages for labor: 'sWith regard to wages, itmay
sound strangely, yeti believe it TO be tre that the
real interest of the farmer is that the wages should
be kept high, and for this reason A laboring man
is not a mere machine human poor box into.
whose mouth is put number of cents never to re-
appear, but living being with wants and desires,
which he will not fail to crafty the moment he pos
sesses the means If he can eprn only scanty
pttance Just enough to keep him alive, he starves
on accordingly; his food, bread and water, half
fed half-clad wholly untanght animal, with use
less mouthful of carniverOus teeth But if his
wages increase he Instant yempoys them in COM
forts in clothes for himself and family; and as he
rises in the scale, ventures on the taste of meat.
He EMPLOYS tailor, shoemaker, halter, butch-s
er and these in turn purchase the materials Of their
trade from the farmer himself and the payer of the
other customers-and the farmer receives back with
abundant interest the difference which he advances
in the first instance between high wages and low
wages II is for this reason that one of our shrewd
est farmers used to say, give our aborers good
wages and they viii buy our beef. Thus too, the
bounties of Providence goround benehcent circle
and fer making the aborer better ted better clad,
better taught--in short, better man-the farmer
himself is richer for the very benefits he dspeDses
Denend upon it, there is no surer sign of national
nrosperif,y. than high wages-and God grant that
for long year tmay be the lot of our country
men, who subsist by the labor Of their halhis, to
YorI, wel--to be paid well-and 10 live well.

WITHOUT NEwsPAPER.-Rev. Mr.. Calhoun,
ina late very able appeal for missionaries to return
with him to his field of labor, on the beautiful sides
of Mount Lebanon, said {" The Eastern world is
truly a region of intellectual as well as moral dark
ness There are no newspapers in Syria or Persia
and in Egypt, the Barbary States, and other eoun-
tries, including 4O,O 900 5000 people, speaking the
Arabic language, there Is but one newspaper in the
native tongue, and but three four in the French
or English language, showing that there is nothing
in NIahommedanism favorable TO general improve
ment"

AFTER THE BATTLE.-The Paris correspondent
of the New York Heral says: Here, the funeral
car, surrounded by a desolate and disconsoate
widow and weeping children, mourning their only
earthly support there, mother shedding tears OF
daughter following to the grave the father who
watched over her childhood, and was the friend of
her youth the afianeed bride, about TO utter her
marital vow in the cemetery of death. These, and
such as these, are the episodes that at every step
present themselves From the Baste to the Mad
elaine, from the Faubourg St Jacques to the Fau-
bourgSt Denis, are to be seen at almost every
door the evidences of death, and to be heard the
wailngs of the bereaved. Such is the aspect of
this CITY of civil war Hands are spread out de.
handing charity from the passers-by for the iami-
lies of those who have fallen rich and poor con-
tribute their offerings, and while this fund is hourly
increasing women and children are al the doors Of
all the houses preparing linen to bind the wounds
of the victims even infants have quilted their
plavthngs to assist in this work of charity"

some fifty or sixty leagues at their own expense
they bring with them their own sustenance, they
bivOuack in the gardens they come to defend their
country against anarchy, and they return to their
homes equally at their own expense, without the
hope, prospect or probability of any reward or any
other glory than the consciousness of having WORTH
