The City Of the Skies.
~ JOSEPH u. CnukcM.

" And I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusal
ming down from God out Of heaven, prepared US = b
iornrd Ior her husband"-Keyelations xxi z
In Patmos' isle, vision came
To John, beloved on high,
A city fair, far in the air,
Above the azure sky.
A home, BE- sure, that city giveo
To him who pious dies
svret place Of rest to inortals blesee1,
That City Of tho Skies!
No scene Of Time we've sought 70 psint,
That air-posed place doth know;
No weed II world, nor fragrau; noWer,
Within Its gardens grow.
What lovely flowers not blooming there,
Nor shrubs whose svs-ts We yriget
Be sure, tis true, all strangely new,
The City Of the Skiesi
No sighs for dear. departed friends,
There CHOKE and clog the breath,
For in the new Jerusalem
There's no such cu.ss DEATH
1t is q bride in " hit. robes clothed,
With sweetly radiant ey-r,
Pr.sh from the perfect hand OF 9od,
TIE City of the SAiesl
Its lnft jtw-led bsttleInents,
Watched by anyelic host
Have names OF followers Of the Lamb
Engraved upon esch post;
Their bounds BY golden Feed marked out,
Twelve thousand furlongs rise,
And 1t s long and hrosl alike,
The City OF the Skies
The walls @! purest jasper arr,
While streets of gold IN mxss
Shine forth Intensely h~autiful,
Like plains Of polished glass;
home, he sure, that city gives,
To him that happy dies,
Sweet place of rest, to mortal blrs.,
The City Of the skiesi
Foundation strong OF jasper walls,
With precious gems bed-cked,
Send back u gates Of priceless pearl
The slories they reflect;
Nor beams of sun nor beams Of moon,
To glories -uch give rise,
God AMI the Lamb illuminate
The City Of the skies!
The night-which oft we deem 90 DC
For rapt, romantic spell,
With moon and stars in calm blua sky,
The poet loves 80 we'll
l. never known within the Walls
That round that city rise,
That happy rest, tomortal blest,
That City of the skiesI
The crystal wave ofiife's pure stream,
With current deep and calm,
Their sources find ia bosom sweet,
UfGoi and of the Lamb!
On rivers bsnk, in golden streets,
The trees Of life arise,
That monthly yield OF luscious fruits,
la City of the Skies
Tis meath those trees the blessed roam,
Fr.in, 10 fear Of rod,
Winch often here in wretched world,
Permitted is, by Col:
For sorrow never exist,
Nur shape of anguish Else,
To hin who treals thy happy courts,
Bright City cf the Skies.
Ever a .rr.ph ,Gfausnd u eofL.us
With swelling note and s~~~o9ecord,
Chant forth the glad new song,
A. gaze they On GvIs glorious facs
With rapture b, amius eyes,
For God thou seest face to lace,
Sweet City Of the skies.
The world wherein our lot is cast
supplies faithful Guide,
To lead with trusting steps,
To blessed Jesus side.
For If We well the m-rcies use,
Aud well the tears and sixhs.
We, reach thy snow white sates u peAy
bear City oi the skies
Give esr ye denizrns Of world,
A Savior's blood Is free;
Bath. freely battle your aching hearts
In that re1reming sea.
Then when YOU pass deaths portal dark,
VIII greet YOUR wondering eyes,
With sparkling wal! and glittering gates,
The City of The skies!

0ctagon Settlement Company.

A company has been formed in this Ci-
ty for the purpose of settling lands in Kan
sas on the Octagon Plan. That is, each
farmhouse to front on an cctagon green or
park, aud the farm enclosure to run in the
rear of each house between roads and radi-
ating from the center at the angles of the
Oc;agon-the whole ultimately forming
an octagon town. Already 1900 shares,
at s. each, have been taken in company
on this plan. The capital Of the company
is employed in the purchase ofmachinery,
implements and other facilities for buil1-
ing and farming, so as to secure to all the
settlers by cooperation the advantages of
large capital in commencing their opera
tions. Men of no capital pay for their
shares by their labor. The pioneer party,
to select site for the company is about
to start from the city, to be led BY one of
the Directors, Dr. McLaurin, Who has had
long experience in settling nes lands in
the West. The other two Nrectors are
DR.. Chas. H. DcWolf Of Philadelphia, Pre-
sident, and Henry S. Chubh Secretary,
who remains in the City to dipose Of ad-
ditional shares and direct meabers to the
settlement-the projected "Odagon City
in Kansas. A meeting Of tie Directors
was held yesterday, at the 'ihce of the
Company, No. ll4 Green So when the

LIQUOR LAW IN CHESTER County,
We take the following extract from . re-
port Of the Grand Jury Of Chester Coun-
ty. 1t will be recollected that no liqucx
licenses were granted in that county last
spring:
"The Grand Inquest cannot refrain
from expressing their satisfaction with the
prohibition Of the sale Of intoxicating
drinks, which our county in . great mea-
sure SO happily enjoys-and desire to COM
mend particularly the determination eer-
tain individuals evince in bringing the Of
tenders of the law to justice, and especial
ly, we might say, the officers of the Boz
ough of Pheni1ville, for breaking up the
place where Intoxicating drinks have been
50 long sold illegally without punishment
and would add the hope that they will pre-
serve until the traffic shall be entirely
rooted out-and then We firmly believe
that the criminal calendar of this Court
will show much shorter list than hereto
fore, as indeed it would have been ut this
Court, since full two thirds of the cases
were connected with Liquor"
PITTsBURG, August 1.-THE Wing
Convention of Allegheny county, met in
this city to-day, and resolved to make no
nomination, as such action would be con-
troiled by the Know Nothings. 1t was
also resolved that as the offers Of fusion
had been rejected by the Democratic par
ty, the Wings would now cooperate with
the Republican movement. Delegates
were appointed to the Wing State Conven-
tion to meet at Harrisburg on the llth Of
September.
FUSION IN LEBANON.-The old line
Wing County Committee, and the Amer
lean Executive Committee Of Lebanon
county, held separate meetings last Satur-
day, and appointed five men from. each
body to unite in call for Joint county
Convention of all persons opposed to Loco
Focoism, to settle county ticket

A DISTINGUISHED VIsITER-A buck
Of the largest size, with splendid head
morning abou: sunrise. He seemed to
have been upon business entirely his own,
and was discovered in Judge Wright's
garden among the vegetables. Not liking
the looks Of things, and, perhaps fearing
some kind of foul play, he took sudden
leave, leaping over high gate into an al
ley, thence to Marke: street, and made
for the brid dge, leaping the toll-gate full
ten feet high, and would certainly have
violated the law by crossing the bridge
without paying toll had the bridge been
standing. As it was he sprang from the
abutment some Is feet to the water, swan
the river, aud escaped to the hills

DEATH OF ABBOTT LAwRENcE-The
telegraph announces the death of the
Hon. Abbott Lawrence. His precarious
state Of health has been for several weeks
tending to this contamination. While
the city Of Boston and the State Of Mass
achusetts, naturally occupy the position
Of chief mOurners in the social funeral
procession which will follow his remains
and cherish his memory, the entire coun-
try must to some extent sympathise with
the cloud-like sorrow which has lowered
over the commercial community, from
amid whose plans aud schemes of enter
prise Mr.. Lawrence has been removed.
As the model merchant prince, the cour-
teous and ever affable gentleman, the pop
ular and accomplished diplomist, and the
fnancier and manufacturer, Mr.. Lawrence
has earned and left behind name which
will ever be mentioned with honor, and a
memory which will always command res
pect.
