The BrOken-Hearted.

Some years ago l took up my residence for a
few weeks in a country vllege in the eastern part
OF New England Soon after my arrival became
acquainted with young lady apparently about
seventeen years of age She had lost the idol of
her hearts purest love, and the shadows of deep
and holy memories were resting like the wing of
death upon her brow.
first met her in the presence of the mirthful.
She was indeed, creature to be admired; her
brow was garlanded by the young years sweetest
flowers, and her sunny tresseS were hanging beau
tltully and Low upon her bosom; and she moved
through the crowd with such floating, unearthIy
grace, that the bewidered gazer looked almost to
see her fade away into air like the creation of a
pleasant dream. She seemed cheerful, and even
gay; yet saw that her gayety was but the mock
cry of her feelings. She smiled, but there was
something in her smile which told me that its
mOurnfu beauty was but the bright reflection of
tear; and her eyeds at times pressed heavily down.
Struggling to repress the tide of agony that was
bursting up from her hearts secret urn. She looked
if she could have left the scene of festivity and
gone out beneath the quiet stars and laid her fore
head down upon the fresh, green earth, and poured
out herstrcken soul gush after gush till it mingled
with the eternal fountain of purity and life.
have lately heard that the young lady of whom
| have spoken is dead. The close of her life was
calm as the falling of quiet stream; gentle as the
sinking OF the breeze, that fingers for time round
o bed of withered roses, and then dies for very
sweetness.
1t cannot be that earth is mans only abiding
place 1t cannot be that our life is a bubble, cast
up by the ocean of eternity, to float moment
upon its surface, and then sink into nothingncss
and darkness forever. Else why is it that the high
and glorious aspirations which leap like ange.s
from the temple of our hearts, are forever wander
inc abroad, unsatsfed? Why is it that the rain
bow and the cloud come over us with beauty that
is not of earth, and then pass off and leave us tC
muse on their faded loveliness? Why is it thai
the stars which hold their festival around the mid
night throne, and set above the grasp of our limi
ted faculties, and forever mOckng US with their un
approaehable glory? And, finally, why is it tha
bright forms of human beauty are presented t.
the view, and then taken from us, leaving the thou
sand streams of afectionto flow back in an Alpine
torrent upon our hearts? .r ..
We are born for higher d.stiny than ttat o
/ ca h. There is realm where the rainbow neVe
fades; where the stars will be spread out before u
! ike the islands that slumber on III ocean; an
where the beautiful beings, that h 3re Pa S b'tlr'
us Ike visions will stay in our pr,sence forever

A Newark Church Sacked

In another column We give an account of the
sacking of a Catholic church in Newark. n. j.
1t will be that the Protestants were paceabiv
pursuing their way in procession, VIXEN they were
molested and fred upon by the ROmanists, who
had made the stone church their fortress. The
Protestants sacked it, and we wonder at and praise
their forbearance that they did not raze IL to the
ground
The ROmanists viii get the worst Of this war
they have 50 madiy begun. For long years they
have had their professions, especially on St Pat
ricks day. when with banners and badges they
have parallel the streets and no one has thought OF
molesting or making them afraid But lately they
have attempted to put down by force the assem-
blage1 Of Americans, or the public demonstrations
of Protestant societies Such attempts viii be re-
sisted by force Of arms. Our people are ready 70
pour out their blood like water in defence Of their
political aDl religious rights. And we warn the
Roman Catholic people tiat they are courting their
own destruction when they lay Il straw in the way
Of freedom Of speech and the enjoyment of lawful
privileges.
The priests and tho editors Of the Romish
Church in great part responsible for these out
RACES. Their ignorant populace suppose that they
are taking the best course 10 rHt down Protestant
ism. They ought ta he instructed better. The
priests could teach tbs people Feat sabbath day
70 submit to lie lava cf the E.nJ asd DC no viO-
Ieuce, aud the slaves would obey. But the priests
will never do thing Of that sort. They had rather
wink at it, But they viii rue the DAY this fire was
kindled ~ T. OjseTrer.
