And think We hear the music
Our childhood knew SO well;
To gaze out on the even.
Anl the bonndless fields Of air,
And fsel again our boyhood wish
To roam like angels there
There are many dreams Of gladness
That cling around the past
And from the tomb Of feeling
Our thoughts come thronging fast;
The forms we loved SO dearly,
In the happy days now gone;
The beautiful AMI lovely,
So fair to look upon.
Those bright and lovely maidcns,
Who seemed 50 kIned for bliss
Too glorious and fSSheavenly
For such a world as this
Whose soft dark eyes seem swimming
In sea ot liquid ligdt,
And whose locks Of gold we're streaming
Der bross 20 sunny bright;
Whose smiles were like the sunshine
In the spring time Of the year
Like the changefni CLEANS Of April,
The, followed every tear!
They have passea--iike hopes-asay-
All their loyeliness has fled
oh, many 4 heart il mourning
That they are wi~l the dead.

And feel that al the beautiful

Grow 10 each loving breast
Like tendtils to the elnging vine,

When the trees are waving Ger US

SHRocK, THE Holmes COUNTY De-
FAULTER.-Nothing has been heard Of
Shrock, the Holmes county defaulter.-
He left Millersburgh at night, in com
pany with lawyer named Gilbert, who
recently left that place for Chicago as a
residence. Suspicion falls heavily on
Gilbert, who, it is believed, is at the
bottom of the defalcation.
After leaving Millersburgh in clan
destine manner, Gilbert proceeded with
his dupe to Massillon to get check on
a merchant of this city cashed at one of
the banks there. Failing to get the
money, they proceeded in the cars to
Cleveland, where they put up at the
American Hotel. Shrock was quite
unwell and dispirited, and Gilbert did
the fnanciering for him while hefe.-
Some $4,000 of paper was exchanged
for gold. Gilbert started for Chicago
on the afternoon train, some twenty
minutes before Shrock left the HOTEL
The latter left with no baggage but a
carpet bag; the other evidently was
purser. Shrock, when at the Depot,
asked for a second class or emigrant
ticket, but as he seemed unwell, and
was respectfully dressed, the agent
strongly advised him to purchase first
class ticket, which he did, to Toledo
The officers have identified him 10 that
point, but there all further traces of
him are lost. Gilbert was found, and
questioned about Shrock and the rob-
berry. He gave curt answers; said that
he advised Shrock to run off; that he
did SO professionally, and was well paid
for his advice, and it was nobody's busi-
ness. Some think that Shrock was got
rid of at Toledo, or is secreted up the
lakes.
It's said that by reason of legal in
formality in the bond, Shrock's bail will
escape the responsibility of his defalca-
ton, and that the county must lose the
money. Gilbert is said to have drawn
the bond, as at that time he was star
of the first magnitude among the De-
mocracy of Holmes. Shrock left his
wife in destitute circumstances.-Clsvs-

MARRIED--In Denning, October
9th, by Jacob Ousterhoudt, Esq. Mr..
Nathan Hinckley, to Miss Mary E.
Donaldson, Of Neversink, Sullivan
county.
There were some peculiar circum-
stances attending the above marriage
which do not usually accompany cere-
monies of this kind. The father Of
Miss Donaldson was opposed to this
match. The parties were to have been
married on the 96th. Mr.. HinckleY
started to the residence of his betrothed.
some nine miles, but before arriving
there was met by young man with q
gun, who told him he could not 90 to
the house. There was a notice on the
gateway, or bars leading to the house,
reading '.No AdmiHGncs" The young
man with the gun asked Hinckley if he
hrd read it. Hinckley replied he had.
Whereupon he was informed that he had
better give heed to it, and some de-
monstrations were made 'intimating that
there might be some shooting going on
if he did not. Deeming prudence the
better part of valor. young Hinckley
beat retreat, and forthwith took coun-
sci how he might accomplish by STRATA
gem what he did not like to bring shout
by force. He finally hit upon the fol-
lowing expedient: He remembered that
Miss Donaldson had in her possession
a ring that belonged to him, so what
does he do but get a warrant for her,
send the constable and bring her forth
with before Esq. Ousterhoudt, under q
charge of getting goods under false
pretenses. That was exactly what he
did. When the constable went after
Miss Donaldson, her father was at work
some distance from the house, and of
course knew nothing of what was going
on, till the constable, with his fair pris-
oner, was well on his way. After the
officer and prisoner arrived at Squire
Ousterhoudt's, it did not take long for
Hinckley to withdraw the complaint
and pay the costs, after which the ar
rangements of the notice given above,
took place instanter.

CURIOUS PREDIcTIoN.-Mrs. Swiss
helm, writing some predictions in refer
ence to the eastern war, makes the fol-
lowing remarks:
"Six years ago, we heard Rev. DR..
Wilson, then of Allegany City, and
Professor of Theology in the Presby-
terian Church, say that, in less than ten
years, a war would break out in Europe
between Russia and the Western Pow
ers, war which would be one of the
most terrible ever recorded in the an
mails of history, and which, by its whole
sale slaughters would carry the name of
Christendom with a thrill of wonder
to the most barbarous nations, awaken
a curiosity about civilization that would
prepare the way for the introduction of
the Bible and Christianity into those
benighted lands, whose people would be
taught, by the rumors of this war, to
fear and respect the arts of civilization.
This declaration was made again and
again in public, from the pulpit, and
was the result of life time of study of
the Bible. The war then unthought of
is now begun and the aged preacher al
ways said the Western powers would
be victorious, that the teeth of the
great Bear would be forever broken
We heard this same man predict the
Mexican war years before it begun, and
tell what its end would be. He also
predicted the great fire of AS in Pitts
burgh, and we are inclined to think
that his gift of second light was more
reliable than that of the maker of this
old statute, and the Russians will not be
masters of Constantinople. From the
first word about proposed hostilities
between Russia and Turkey, we have
been in the habit of telling our friends
to buy their -four, for it would be from
SIS to $50 per barrel before it would
be SIS again, and so we still think it
will be, for we are of opinion our
preacher saw far into the prophecies al
ready written. He said this war would
take place--would be very terrible and
general, and that it was the last war
before universal peace of the millen-
mum.
