A Remarkable Iown.-The cditori-
al correspondent of the New York
Chronicle gives the following descrip-
ton of Marion, New York:
Here the Maine law has been in force
Tor more than fifteen years. There is
nc no intemperance, no poverty here
The church has no poor fund--nccds
none no You hear no profanity, see no
sabbath desccration---no improprictics
at all. The doctors have gone into
other business for bread, or are trying
to live without it. There never was q
lawyer in town, and the magistrate has
nothing to do. The constable is not
needed. The only hotel is kept bv a
good deacon Of the church, and the
long blocks of stores are crowded with
customers, and prosperity is written on
every dwelling, and hope and happi-
ness shine in every face"
How few such towns as this can he
found in our country There are none
where prohibitory liquor law is not in
force. And yet there are professors of
religion opposed to such a law.

a. T'GpIW7EILE,

a TARIWyELI.
Many months may pass away,
And years too may depart,
Ere you and lmay meet again
To cheer the lonely heart.
We've roam'd the hills and trod the vale
On many themes convc'sing,
And to each other confdingly
Our tales of love rehcarsing.
We've talked ortame, Of wealth, rcnown,
And laure!s won by many,
And often thought that we might win
Laurcls as well as any.
The time has come the dreaded time
When al! these joys must end,
When We must part and away
To other scenes and strange must tend.
Alas: il is bitter pang
To part with those We love;
But, oh, what bliss it is to know
We all may meet above.
Where with songs Of JOY and love,
Friends may walk the pearly shore,
And the parting words Of sadness,
Stir the depth of grief no more.

Virtue in M0R-We love to believe
there is NOR moral goodness than de-
praViIy in human nature. When We
SEQ one tear Of pity drop from the eye
l, gives us more pleasure than would
The fitting diamond. There is goodness
-roal aud umselfish--in tho hourt, and
we have often seen it manifest itself To
the making of a scene of sorrow the
veaiibuie of heaven. For him who is
always picking outlaws IN his ueighbor's
character wo have nusympathy. He re.
minds us of one Of those birds which
resort TO dead and decaycd limbs of
trees TO feast on tho worms. In the
character of most men we shall find
more good than evil. more kindness
than haired--and why should we pick
out the flaws, aud pass over the sterling
traits Of charactUri We bold this to
be tho true doctrine, to portray real
goodness aud hold il up to the gaze
and admiration of all, while wc suffer
the evil To remain ~ tho shade and die.
IL every picture of human nature were
only pure and beautiful, we are inclined
to believe that wo should have such
characters around US.

4 Hooemcnt Of Great Significance.
A bill has been introduced into the
British House Of Commons, and pass
ed to a second reading by majority of
twcnty-cight, to abolish the leyying of
church rates upon the large portion of
the English people who dissent from
the Established Church, by which they
are compelled to contribute to the min
istration Of worship in which they do
not partakc; and to substitute for them
the system Of voluntary contributions.
The church party strcnuously oppose
the measure, contending that by taking
away one Of the props Of the cstab-
lishmcnt, it will undermine and destroy
it. 1t is to be hoped that SO important
measure will speedily triumph.

Baltimore, about 26 years of age. stopping at
the ludlow House in that city. last week, who
dressed in male attire, and remained there as
male boardcr several days, in search of a young
man who had sedueed her some six months ago.
The Enquirer says:
The landlord on being informed of her
sex by some Of the female employees not know,
ing what steps to pursue in the case, informed
Marshal Rutiin, who had her taken to the Ninth
street station house, where she told her sad sto-
ry, the truth of which apparent that 1t
carried conviction to all who heard 1t. In the
meantime, some of her own sex having learned
the particulars with that kindly feeling which
