The Recess.


Twas q new feeling more
Than we had dared to own before,
Which then we hid not;
We saw it in each others eye,
And wished in every broken sigh
To speak-but did not.
She felt my lips impassioned touch,
Twas the first time dared SO much,
- And yet she child not;
But whispered o'er my burning brow
90 do not doubt love you now"
Sweet SOUL did not.
Warmly felt her bosom thrill,
pressed it closer, closer still,
Though gently bid not;
Till, o the world hath seldom heard
OF lovers who SO nearly erred,
And yet who did not.

The Curious Man and the Mad
Poet.

The subioinad amusing anccdote of NJ
DONALD CLARKE, the s. mad poet" ap,
peared in the old NeU York Spectator in
1927.
A certain poet, who has written some OF
the best stanzas, and some OF the worst
lines of any American bard, and who, for
some particular ecccntriciti Is, has been re
puted mad, being sometime since, at the
Assembly Room at the City Hotel, was
interrupted in his dream Of fiction" by II
stranger, who thus accostcd him:

"Clarke, sir, is my name"

"Ind ed A..d do you consider your

From, he Central Christian Herald
John Randalph of Roanoke.

The Orator, the Statesman, the Misanthropist,
the Philosopher, the Duest, and the Christian;
for, at one time, he believed hiself to be the sub
iect of the grace of God, and sincerely endeavor-
ed to consecrate himself to the service of Christ.
It is to be regretted that his biographer, Mr..
Garland, has not thought proper to recur to this
subject again. We should love to know how
long he cherished the Christians hope, or wheth-
er, indeed, he ever abandoned it. Certain it is,
he did not find, even in religion, the peace OF
mind so much coveted. At one time, he thought
he had found the source of happiness aud his let
ters breathe the spirit Of a penteut and of a
believer; but with the cares of public life his in
stability increased, his impulse became more over
whelming his ancestral pride and political ami
mostly betrayed him into duel: and he died as
the fool dieth, with the word remorse breathing
upon his lips, and his whole soul concentrated i'll
the great and good (very questionable) act of his
life, the emancipation ofhis slaves.
Though far from home, having called i'll wit
nesses, his eyes flashing with unnatural light,
and his long index finger pointing toward them,
he said, Il confirm all the directions in my will
respecting my slaves, and direct them to be enfor-
Gee, particularly in regard to precision for their
support" This was the last 2t OF his life. AT
aquarter before twcS1,ye o'clock, on tho oath Of
June, 1922 20, aged sixty years, he breathed his
!Ls,.,t. in chamber of the City Hotel, No. Al,
Third-street, Philadelphia"
fOne word only did he utter respecting future
life, or the hopes of the Christian subjects which,
for many years, filled large space in his cores
ipondence with intimate friends. A few hours
before his death he exclaimed 'Remorse remorse"'
at the top ofhis voice. He called for Dictionary
that he might see the word. None being in the
room, his phisician, DR.. Parish, wrote the word
on the back Of one Of his cards, upon which he
fixed his eyes with great intensity, exclaiming,
aRemorse! you have no idea, what it is; you can
form no idea of it whatever; it has contributed
to bring me to my present situation: but have
looked to the Lord Jesus Christ, and hope have
obtained pardon"

lows the SUM-" 1t was one of his maxi1ns, Civ
ing an advice to a young friend MAKE your
self useful to your friends and troublesome to
your enemies"
For long PERIOD he was the leading advo,
cate and defender of the state rights doctrine
the doctrine of Patrick Henry, George Morrow
Jefferson-a germ which, planted in Virginia,
blossomed in Massachusetts,, during the embargo
and at alatter period, produced it's maturcd fruits
in South Carolina, during the administration of
Gen. Jackson; mighty tree, whose roots,
stretching the continent spreads its brAnch
es from the BAY to the PALMETTO state; and scat
ters its fruits over all the land.
A statesman, an orator, debater writer, a
friend and an enemy, he proved himself equal to
every duty and every emergency for he was
cordial and earnest in all that he did.
He was brilliant, erratic genius, a wander
ing comet, inhamed, intlamiable, inhaming every
thing he touched. 1.-The fiery star was in the
ascendant at his birth, and pursued him through
life, both as destroying element, and a subtle,
Promethcan flame consuming the soul. 1t is a
remarkable coincidence that his birth place, the
cherished home of childhood, and the house in
which he spent the first fifteen ysars of his man
hood--Cawsons, Matoax ,and Bizzarre-were all,
in succession consumed by fire."
1t IS not strange that such fiery spirit should
be cordial hater. But it is pleasant to learn
that he could forgive an enemy. His duel with
Clay has been adverted to. He determined to
receive his cnemy's fire, but not to return it.
In vain were the remonstrances of his friends
lie carried out his purpose, and Clays wrath
was overcome. II trust in God. my dear sir,
you are untouched: after what occurred, would
not have harmed you for thousand worlds.

NUMBER "a.
"Did thee beat herr"
81 never struck her a lick"

"Right, Jacob, right; sit down TO thy breakfast,
and, when done eating, will attend to the hefer" :"
Shortly after he had finished his repast, Law
son mounted horse, and rode to Dood's who
was sitting under the porch in front of his house,
and who, as he beheld the Quaker dismounting,
supposed he was coming to demand pay for bis
tilly, and secretly swore he would have to 90 to
law for it if he did.
GOOD morning, neighbor Dood; how is thy
family!" exclaimed Obadiah, as he mounted the
steps, and seated himself in chair.
" All well, believe" was the reply.
81 have small affair to settle with thee this
morning, and came rather early.
$50 Isuppose," growled Watt.
This morning my son found thy Durham
heiter in my garden, where she had destroyed a
great deal"
"And what did he do with her." demanded
Dood, his brow darkening
"What would thee have done with her, had
she been my heifcr in thy garden 7" asked Oba-
diah.
I'D shot her ' resorted Watt, madly, "as
| suppose you have done; but we are only even
now. Heifer for flly is only tit for tat
"Neighbor Dood, thou knowest me not if
thou thinkest would harm hair of thy heif
er's back. She is in my farm-yard, and not even
blow has been struck her, where thee can get
her at any time. know thee shot my FLY; but
the Evil One prompted thee to it, and have no
evil in nv heart against my neighbors, came
to tell thee where thy heifer is, and now I'll go
home"
Obadiah rose from his chair, and was about to
descend the steps, when he was stopped by Watt,
who hastily asked.
"What was your fly worth?'
&" A hundred dollars is what asked for her."
replied Obadiah.
"Wait moment p' and Dood rushed into
the house; from whence he soon returned, hold
ing some gold in his hand. Here's the price
of your tilly; and hereafter, let there be pleas
antness between u.s."
Willingly, heartily" answered Lawson,
grasping the profered hand of the other; let
there be peace between us"
Obadiah mounted his horse and rode home
with lighter heart and from that day to this,
Dood has been as good neghbor as one could
wish to have, being completely reformed by the
RETURNING GOOD FOR EVIL.

LABOR AND TIRE NOT.

swoRK, WHILE THE DAY LASTS"
Go! stand upon the beach,
And mark the spreading sail;
Count if thou canst, the snowy sheets,
Unfoded to the gale;
Work-ere that human freight shall sleep,
Deaths darkest slumber, in the deep.
Seest thou gay pleasure weave
Bright rainbows Of delight
A shadow they will surely leave,
Yet now they charm the sight;
Turn thou and pray, for Satan's snare
Is circling round the young-the fair.
Send forth, the piercing thought,
And teach earth's distant bound.
Say-canst thou find spot,
Where sin doth not abound!
Thou may'st not : on the farthest shore
Strife doth her deadly arrow pour.
Then let not pleasures strain,
The voice Of duty still;
Thy father, God, calls yet again.
Rise and his word fulfill,
Press boldly on, ere deaths dark hour
Shall claim thine all, Of mortal power.
Work; in the morning dawn
Begin thy tolls anew;
While freshening zephyrs tread the lawn,
And kiss the sparkling dew.
Press forward, like the rising sun,
Nor pause thou till the goal is won.
Perchance the heat of noon
Is Cleaning on thee now;
Yet faint not, for the twilight soon
Will dew thy burning brow.
And purer is the rest so sweet,
To those wko've trod, with weary feet.
Work doth the sunset hour
OF rest come on arace!
Then nears the time when labors DER,
Thou'lt find resting place;
Toll on, with double vIgor now,
Ere twilight darkness shades thy brow.
IT'S well; the stars come fourth,
And smile upon the form
That nobly, though with humble worth
Earth's tolls have meekly borne;
This finished, and glory sweet
Shall crown thy rest at Jesus feet.
