The Dead.

How beautiful is the memory Of the dead
What holy thing it is in the human heart, and
what a chastening influence it sheds upon hu.
man life How it subdues all the harshness
that grows up within us in the daily intercourse
with the world How it mets our unkindness,
softens our pride, kindling our deepest love,
and waking our highest aspirations Is there
one who has not some loved friend gone into
the eternal world, with whom he delights to
live ugain in memory? Does he not love to
sit down in the hushed and tranquil hours of
existence, and call around him the face, the
form, so familiar and cherished-to look into
the eye thA mirrored not more clearly his own
face than the soul which he loves--to listen to
the tones which he loves to listen to, the tones
which were once melody in his ear, and have
echoed softly in his ear since they were hushed
to his senses? Is there spirit to which hea
ven is not brought nearer by holding some
kindred soul? How friend follows friend into
the happy dwelling place of the dead, till we
find at length that they who loved us on the
heavenly shore are more than they who dwell
among usl Every year witnesses the depar-
ture of some one whom we knew and loved
and when we recall the names of all who have
been near to us in life, how many of them we
see passed into that city which is imperishable,
The blessed dead how free Som stain is
our love for them The earthly faint OF our af-
fections is buried with that which was corrupt
ible, and the divine flame in its purity illumines
our breast. We have now no fear of losing
them. They are fixed for us eternalIy in the
mansions prepared for our reunion, We shall
find them waiting for us, in their garments Of
beauty, The glorious dead how reverently
we speak their names! Our hearts are sancu-
fed by their words which We remember. How
wise they have now grown in the limitess fields
of truth! How Joyous they have become by
the undying fountains of pleasure! The i'm
mortal dead! how unchanging is their love for
us How tenderly they look down upon us,
and how closely they surround our being How
earnestly they rebuke the evil of our lives.
Let men talk pleasantly of the dead, as those
who no longer suffer and are tried-as those
who pursue no longer the feeting, but have
grasped and secured the real With them the
fear and the longings, the hope and the terror,
and the pain are past: the fruiton of life has
begun. How unkind, that when we put away
their bodies, we should cease the utterance of
their names The tender-hearted dead who
struggle so in parting from us! why should we
speak of them in ave. and remember them on
ly with signing? Very dear were they when
hand clasped hand, and heart responded to
heart, Why are they less dear whenthey have
grown worthy higher love than ours, and
their perfected soul might receive even our
alteration By their hearth-sde, and by their
grave-sde, in solitude and amid the multitude,
think cheerfully and speak lovingly of the dead.

HEAVY ROBBERY OF GOLD DUsr.-The police
authorities of New York have been furnished
with the information respecting heavy robbery
of gold dust on board the steamship UnioE,
which reached that port on Wednesday night.
Upon opening the wooden boxes they were found
to contain shot instead of god dust The
boxes were double cased and banded with iron,
with seals nearly as good as new, showing that
the operators were skilled in their business.
The amount ofmissing dust reaches nearly $780,
600, the insur ance Of which falls upon two or
three banking houses in New York. 1t is
thought that the robbery was committed az
some point where the steamer touched during
her homeward passage.

MELANCHOLY Death RESULTING FROM SPIRIT
UAL RAPPINGs--M Nancy Sherman, of Ply
mton, who died on the 18th inst, is another
victim to be added to the long list which this
profane delusion has already produced. She
had been quite noted as medium of spiritual
communication, and by constant ministraton
in that office had become so completely imbued
with its hallucination as to be wholly untitled for
the ordinary duties of life. About month
since she made an attempt on her own life, but
was foiled by the breaking of nail to which
she had attached the fatal cord. Being close
ly watched, and thus prevented from any repe-
titon of such violence. She did not, as it
seems, relinquish her original design, but an
nounced to her friends that the spirit forbade
her eating any more, and commanded that she
should starve herself, remarking that she must
obey this injunction, because it proceeded from
Heaven. In accordance with this resolve, she
studiously abstained from partaking of any food,
living on water alone, although at times so tor
tured by the pangs of hunger as to writhe in
agony. Food was everywhere put in her way,
and she purposly left alone, in hopes that the
cravings of the body might overcome the stub.
borness of the spirit, and tempt her to partake
of it, but all to no purpose, In this condition
she fingered for three sOeekS. the last of which
was passed in fearful alterations from convul
sions to momentary consciousness with constan
relapse, until death finally put an end to her suf
ferings. Taunton Gazette.

this act it is permissible for the Court of Chan
Gerry, on receiving a representation from parties
interested that citizen is incapable of managing
his temporal affairs from habitual drunkenness,
to issue writ similar in power and action to
a writ 'de tunatico :nquirendo," appointing a
commission for the purpose of ascertaining the
truth of the allegation. If the commission de-

of the individual, he is Immediately deprived
