The Call to PRAYER.

There is something beautiful in the
church bells. Beautiful and hopeful
They talk to high and low, rich and
poor, in the same voice; there is sound
in them that should scare pride and envy
and meanness of all sorts from the heart
Of man that should make him look on
the world with kind forglving eyes thai,
should make the earth seem to him, at
least for time, holy place. Yes, here
is whole sermon in the very sound Of
the church bells, if we only have the ears
to hear and understand 1t: there is
preacher in every beI(rey, who cries
poor, weary, struggling, fighting crea>
lures, poor human things, take rest, be
quiet; forget your vanities, your troubles,
your follies, your weekday crafts. Ye
human vessels gilt and painted, believe
the iron tongue that tells you that, for all
your guiding, all your colors, we are the
same Adams earth with the beggars IN
your gates. Come away, come cries
the church bel, and learn to be humble ;
learn that however daubed and stained
about with jewels, you are but vain clay !!
Come, Dives, and be taught that all your
glcry. as you wear it is not half so beauti-
full in the eye Of heaven, as the sores
ofthe accomplishing lazarus; and ye,
poor creatures, livid and faint, stained
and crushed by the pride and hardships
of the world, come'home,' CRIES the bell,
with the voice of an angel come and
learn what is laid up for you. And,
learning, take heart, and walk amidst the
wickedness and cruelties of the world
as calmly as Daniel walked among the

From Edgar A. Poe.

The exchange from which we copied the fol
lowing says that the correspondent who sent
that it was received from the Sp'rl
World, in the usual manner of communication!
viz: by raps. Of course we have no dlrec
means from, which to Judge, but the lines ar
beautiful, and seem to breathe tn
spirit of Poe poetry. -Jamesto'on Journal.
First harp of thrilling numbers
Reused me gently from my slunabers,
And its tone,
Der my waking spirit stealing,
Kindling up spirit feeling
In its music sweet revealing
Heavens own.
Then being, pure and holy.
Through door retiring slowly,
Half disclosed
70 my souls enraptured vision,
Those eternal fields elysian,
Where the blest in full fruition,
There reposed.
Then a spirit. fairer, brighter,
Something smaller, something lighter,
And with raiment purer, whittier,
Came in view.
Though her face was half aver,ed,
80 Gazing back from whence she started
Twas my lost, my loving hearted
Well knew.
For moment there she fingers,
And the beautiful white fingers
Of Lenore
Sweep across the harp SO shining,
Which the angel left reclining
'Gainst the door.
Then, as if some word receiving,
Half in doubt, yet half believing,
Gazed around,
And at once she saw and knew me,
And with JOY she came unto me.
With bound.
O! the rapture of that meeting,
OF that blessed spirit greeting,
Is unknown
To mortals: they can never,
Till they pass the dark, deep river
Which divides their world forever
From our own,
Comprehend how hearts once blighted,
In world by sin benighted
Are forever united
On the shore
Of that river, brightly glowing,
From eternal fountains flowing,
Where the tree of life is growing
Evcrmore.

Mans Mortality.


Like as the damask rose you see,
Or like the blossom of the tree,
Or like the dainty flower in May,
Or like the morning of the day,
Or like the sun, or like the shade,
Or like the gouard which Jonas had,
Zen such is man-whose thread is spun,
Drawn out and cut, and so is done
The rose withers, the blossom blasteth,
The flower fades, the morning hasteth,
The gcurd consumes and man he dies /!
Like to the grass that's newly sprung,
Or like tale that's new begun,
Or like the bird that's here to-day,
Or like the pearled dew of May,
Or like an hour, or like span,
Or like the singing of a swan,
Zen such is man-who lives by breath,
Is here, now there, in life and death
The grass withers, the tale is ended,
The bird is flown, the dew's assembled,
The hours short, the span is long,
The swans near death-man's life is done

Love-.

Dow Jr., the humorous sermonizer of
the Sunday Mercury. breaches thus:
MY friends-Not to love is painful
To have all our thoughts entombed IN the
dark sepuIchre of selfshness, and our
hopes lost in the cold mists of misanthropy,
is about as bad as being confined in
dungeon. to be fed with the fragment of
ones folies. The light of love, admitted
through the window of the heart, warns
and nourlshes the soil the soul-causes
the buds of benevolence to expand, and
the capsules of charity to be fitted with
the ripe seeds sympathy. Without the
genial seeds Of love the bosom freezes and
becomes as barren as a goose pasture in
the winter. If flower chances to bloom
it is destitute of fragrance; or if it have
any, it wastes its sweetness, as The poet
SAYS, upon the desert air. To be without
love, is like being without a fire in win
ter, lamp at night, and sun at midday.
The heart that never loves, is as hard as
a brckbat, as insensible as a picked
clam to all the finer feelings and stran-
ger TO every delightful emotion. An
old bachelor, my friends, whose heart is
never warmed with affection, is miser
able nobody in the world. He is as cold
booded as tirtle, and looks just as
melancholy as clam. His hopes die as
soon as they begin to pinfeather there is
no more sentiment is his soul than there
is music in a corn stalk fiddle; his
thoughts are wrapped up in the shroud of
self; he knows not the pleasure attendant
on the sexual amalgamasion of the soul !;
his abode is fixed in the solitary wild of
celibacy, where all is cherries and d-eary.
There he!Iives, and there he dies, unhon-
ored and unwept; and when he is finally
carried away by the current of time, we
can only say, there goes another parole of
rubbish into the gulf of eternity.

The PLAGUE.--A new disease more fatal
than the cholera has appeared in the West
India Islands, at New Orleans, and other pla-
ces OH the Mississippi. The Boston Medical
Journal thus alludes to it; ~.Ta
'It is certain, from the accounts received
here and in England, the true plague
has been introduced into Madeira, and the
work ofdeath has been really appalling. The
question was frequently agitated-will that
dreadful disease ever reach this continent!
There is reason to believe it will; the Won
der is why it has not already. Our CONNER
cal intercourse is extensive with various
parts of Africa and the Asatic shore of the
Mediterranean, where this great scourge is
never dead or dying, but simply reposing
from one period to another, like fatigued
giant, to gather new strength for renewal
of slaughter. If it comes, it may be hoped
that there will be found more science, and
stronger barrier of medical skill, to meet
to disarm it of its terrors, than has been exhib-
tied in the tropical climates, or in filthy
scourge-inviting regions of Moslem Turkey
Plague appertains to the Arab in this age;
and where the same condition of things ex-
lists as characterizes their mode of life, their
social condition, and the absence of all
common-sense efforts to avert or arestit il
will have an abiding foothold,"

ALL SATIsFIED.--ApropoS to the condition
of the disappointed, the Philadelphia Inqui-
rer relates an anecdote of an unfortunate APP
prentice boy. 1t appears that he had been
fed on bean soup, by the way of a wholesome
diet, till he began to get as thin as Jobs tur-
key. At length he could stand it no longer,
and going up to his master, he declared if
he didn't get something better than bean
soup, he'd run away and tell his parents;
"Now look you," said the "boss, ,',"if yon'll
eat the soup and say it's good, I'll give you
fourpence; but if you don't you rascal, I'll
give you thrashing." "Well" said the boy,
wiping his eyes with the cuff of his sleeve,
"giye us the fourpence; the soups good only
don't like it!, But Messrs Cass and Com
pany are worse off even than the boy. They
neither have the fourpence or the privilege OF
saying they don't like thesoup. The democ-
racy are remorseless; down it must 60, and
the unfortunates all the time will have to
swear they like it.. a ~, s5fss .a,'

Mr.. EDrToR:-I desire through your paper
to inquire, whether the good people OF our
beautiful city intend celebrating the glorious
Fourth of July, the coming Anniversary OF
our National independence Time was
when our people laying aside their business,
and the cares Of life, met together and com
memorated the anniversary Of that day upon
which the Charter Of American Liberties
was proclaimed to the world; but of late years
forgetful Of the stirring scenes Of our Revo-
lutionary struggle, none of the good, old
fashioned demonstrations have been witness
sed in Lancaster. This should not be; new
er should an American heart cease to beat
with quickened pulsations in memory ofour
country's Natal day. Then let us have a
good olden-time celebration. Laying aside
all business, all party differences, letus meet
in the grove as Americans and show our
children how to cherish the "sprit of'76.'

SAD END OF A RoMANcE.-A correspond
ent of the Cleveland. Plain Dealer, writing
from Sault Ste Marie give narrative of an
ill asserted marriage, with its melancholy
termination. Some Is yearsa ago Catalin,
the painter, exhibited number of Indians
in London, among whom was Cadotte an
interpreter Sarah Haynes, then beauti-
ful English girl of sixteen, became enamor-
ed of Cadotte, and they were, married. On
reaching Americn, the romance of love was
over; for twoor three years they resided on
the bank of the river st. Clair, OF the little
property the bride was possessed OF; and
since that, at the Sault, where she taught
Frenchand music, to the time other decease.
She retained herbeauty to the last, although
exposed to many hardships by living in Il
birch bark lodge with her Indian husband
She died in her 2Sthyear, fortunately leav.
in no children to mourn the sad effects ot
an infatuated matrimonial match.
