"FoUYD DEAp."-There is more in the last
stanza of the following, than in whole vol
ume of theological distractions. 1t appears
originally in the New York Mirror
FOUND DEAD.
Found dead-dead and alone
There was nobody near, nobody near,
When the Outeast died on his pillar of stone;
No mother, no brother, no sister dear,
Not friendly voice to sooths or cheer,
Not n w.tching eye, or pitying tear,
Found dead-dead and alone,
In roohess street, on pillar of stone.
Many weary day went by,
While wretched aud worn he begged for
bread,
Tired of life, and longing to lie
Peacefully down with the silent dead.
Hunger and cold and scorn and pain.
Had wasted his form and scared his brain,
Till at last on bed of frozen ground,
With pillow of stone, was the Outeast found.
Found dead-dead and alone,
On pillar Of stone in the roofiess street
Nobody heard his last feint moan,
Or knew that his heart had ceased to beat.
No mourner fingered with tears or sighs
But the stars looked down with pitying eyes,
And the chill winds passed with wailing
sound
Ger the lonely spot where his form was found.
Found dead-yet not alone;
There was somebody near, somebody near,
To claim the wanderer as his own,
And find home for the homeless here.
One, when every human door
Is closed to his children, seorned and poor,
Who opens the Heavenly portal wide;
Ali God was near when the Outcast died.
Coon PEopLE.-At Pine Bluff, Arkansas,
they have been troubled seriously because
the river has not been navigable for the last
two months. In consequence of this they
could not get their produce to market, nor
what articles they wanted for domestic use
from market. They submitted to the incon-
venience of the thing with some repinings,
but of late paper published at the place has
found consolation in an opinion which it ex-
presses in this wise:
at is our opinion that if we had had navi-
cation during the last two months we would
have been visited with that uncomfortable
disease, yellow fever. We should be thank
fu for not having been visited with this
plague"
We do not mean to discuss the doctrine Of
special providences, at the best, and we speak
not irreverently an impracticable and there
fore unreliable doctrine. Believing MS we do
that God governs the world by laws, and re-
quires Of us an intelligent obedience to those
laws, we have but little faith either in acciden-
tai or special providences.
Therefore, we do not agree with the theory
of our Pine Bluff contemporary. We have
difficulty, also, about the basis Of such n mode
Of reasoning. The logical inference is that
either the people of Pine Bluff are so very
good that navigation was interrupted for their
protection from yellow fever, and thus they
are to be thankful for their preservation, or
else they are very bad people, and the editor
thinks they ought to be thankful that they
have not been visited with the scoufge they
deserved. Our opinion is tha: the folks at
Pine Bluff are pretty much like the rest of
us, made up of the good, bad and indifferent.
The good no better than they ought to
be- the bad not 50 bad but they might be
worse

AGE.-But few men die of old age. AL
most all die of disappointment, passional, or
bodily toll, or accident. The passions kill
men sometimes, even suddenly. The common
expression, checked with passion, has little
exaggeration in it for even though not sud
denly fatal, strong passions shorten life
Strong bodied men often die young-weok
men live longer than the strong for
the strong use their strength, and the
weak have none to use. The latter take
care of themselves, the former do not. As it
is with the body, so it is with the mind and
temper. The strong are apt to break, or
like the candle, to run; the weak burn out.

BurrER SToRY.-The Philadelphia Sun
day Mercury tells good story of fellow in
that city, who, n few days since, stole firkin
of butter from grocery store, and run off
with il on his shoulder. When the butter
was missed, the thief was of course pursued
by the owner and crowd of men and boys,
cryinp, "stop thief" Being strong and feet
of foot, the rogue had every prospect ofes'
Gaping, but in an uni uck moment, he attempt
ed to shift his load from one shoulder to the
other, and, in doing s., passed it under his
nose, when (as he himself declared in the
mayors oilice,) the scent of the butter was
so powerful that it Immediately knocked him
down. This, of course, enabled the crowd
TO oyertake and capture him.

bark to convey sap to the branches. 1t was 7 feet
1 inches in circumference near the roots, and was
divided into three distinct parts, two of which
were connected to the height of Is inchee; the
other was distinct from the ground upwards
There was bark only on the outside Of these d.
visions until they reached the height Of seven or
eight feet, when they were completely oncircled
with it, and formed distinct limbs, with numerous
lateral branches. About thirty.fve years since,
two suckers sprang up from the roots, one on the
northeast and the other on the southwest side
They are now ten or twelve feet in height, and
have been in bearing several years, the fruit being
precisely the same as that of the o riginal tree,
which, Of course, proves it to have been a seed
ing"
Such is the history of the Endicott Pear Tree
probably the Oldest tree of the kind in New Eng
land, and perhaps in America. The yigour Of its
youth has now past away, and in all likelihood it
will not survive the storms of many winters more.
But the memory of him who planted il, who train
ed its young branches and watched its primal
blossoms, is still green in the hearts of a grateful
people; and until the boon of liberty and religious
freedom for which our fathers tOiled shall cease to
exist, and Massachusetts be no more, all honour
will be rendered by her sons to the memory of
John Endicott.-BOst0 JJHJadl.

AUTUMNALIA.

The tints Of the summer are fading fast,
And the scar leaves are falling with every blast;
And | think at the close of each shortning day,
That another bright summer has past away.
1t has past, like the rest, with its hopes and its fears,
Now Frightened by smiles, now bedimmed by tears;
1t has past, like the rest, with its pleasures ard
pain
And, like them, it must never return again.
The fast falling leaves, and tLeso whitening flow
ers,
Are an emblem of man and his heeting hours,
For he basked for a while in the suns bright ray,
And the summer of life has past away.
And the autumn of life is chill and drear,
When like leaves IF the forest our hopes appear,
And they drop one by one from the whitening
spray
And the autumn Of life has past awayl
And the winter of life is sad and cold,
When the feelings are dull and the heart grown
old,
And we long for the rest that the weary shall have
In the silence and gloom Of the passionless grave
But the grass of the grave can new flowers send
forth
And the soul Of the just hath a refuge of worth;
And the spring Of eternity blossoms for aye:
And its leaves never fade, nor its blossoms decay.
Though the sun never shines in those regions so
bright,
Yet the Lamb that was slain is their shadowless
light;
And the pavement of s~apphires can never be dim,
For It's bright with the radiance reflected from
Him.
U~nfading the glories, unsated the heart
The one never flash, nor the other depart,
And the eye never tires, though unbounded the
view;
And the joys, though unchanging, forever are new.
The muse on the emblems Of earthly decay,
Can trace, mid the darkness, a promise of day;
And hear, mid the rustling Of scar leaves and
flowers,
The harps Of the angels in amaranth powers.

her heart, George ", said VIC have lost the best
bred woman in the world. Fox said we have lost
the kindest.heartod woman in the world. These
two sayings are no feeble indications of the char
acter Of the two men. These tales, Mr.. Thackeray
said, nre all base and mean, but they are charac.
teristic, and what else has a man to say Of George

sat fat, and taking his fill of pleasure.

twenty-five years, as every one asks, as doubtless
all there last night asked, how is it possible there
could be a society so dcbased as to tolerate such a
man, or a kingdom so fallen as to to call him SOW
oreigp. Yet in those days, if a stranger had said
in Col. Newcomo's presence what he said that
night, the colonel would have lifted his bamboo
cane. There are numbers of silly people who
would do the same now to any one breathing a
word against royalty, but will not their descend
ants in some years hence smile equally at such
folly?-N. J.. Tribune,

RIcn BEGGARs.-Evcrybody has heard of miser-
able, squalid creatures, who have left large fortunes
behind them, which were acquired by street beg
ging. In Paris and London such circumstances are
not at all unusual. a recent writer gives a phono-
graphic report ola dialogue between two beggars
in Dublin, which is very amusing:
"Good-morrow to you, Mrs. Fogarty, Preaching
a snuff-box to offer Il pinch.
Then good'morr1w kindly, Judy. Ihope I see
you well this morning"
80, Mrs. Fogarty, you married your daughterY"
81 did, indeed, praise be to goodnoss!'
"Did she get a good match?|
"Faix, thin, It's herself that did; didn't she get
money than any three leggars in Cork"
Pm delighted to hear 1t, Mrs. Fogarty, | assure
you-that the world may wonder at the luck they'll
have. Did you give her any fOrtune?"
"Any fortune, il it? All, thin, now. Indy ;s Il
ahher i%nsultin' me you'd be? sure, you know in
your heart, that a child O. mine was never married
without it; didn't | give her the best side Of Patrick
street. which, if well begged is worth seven and
sixpenco Il week."

THE NEGRo's WRONGS.

Ay fctter his limbs with your rusty chains,
That clank at his every motion,
And bear him away from his native plains,
10 your homes across the ocean;
And think the mind Of the kidnapped black
Turns never across the ocean back.
Ay! take his wife and little ones, too;
Tear the cords of affection asunder,
And never repent of the deeds you do
lis a negro's heart you %plundcrl
For who wouldn't torture, tear and rack
The wrctchel heart Of the trembling black
Drive him about in the sunburnt field,
Ills deep wounds all fcstcred and sore,
And then thank God for the crop it yields,
Drenched in the black mans gorel
And believe he smiles to see you hack
And bruise the flesh of the suffering black
strain now his sinews as much as they'll bear,
Ills strong muscles make the most of,
For the hope has dawn'd in his breast to share
The freedom you proudly boast of,
His sinews and nerves are-if need be-as strong
10 WELD the sword, as yours the thong.
Beware the time when that chain shall break,
That gals the flesh and the spirit,
When the yoke is thrown from the Bonded neck,
That is chafed too much to bear i'll
There's a God above that looks with q frown,
To see how long you have trodden him down!

THE LAST FAST" PRESS.

The New York Times has a long description Of
the immense manufacturing establishment Of Hoo
& Co., New York, tho celebrated manufactures Of
the Last Fast Rotary Printing Press. The
Times says:
"The cight-cylinder press, which takes the name
Of Lightning is the rarcst piece of workman
ship in the establishment, that is to say, the call
for these articles is of u character so limited, in
consequence of the small number Of papers which
require the fastest presses, that the manufacture
is confined to a few specimens, The Messrs. Hoe
have constructed three of the largest sized eight
cylinder presses, three Of the six-cylinder kind,
seventeen Of the fOur-cylindcl, and a large one is
about to be constructed for a newspaper establish
ment in Manchester, England"
There is one feature about the establishment
which is worthy of imitation in every large manu-
featuring establishment
"On the upp,r floor is a comfortable apartment.
fitted up with desks and benches, and lighted with
gas, intended for q Schoot for tie Joys employed
in the establishment. Here, ON winter evenings,
when the days work is over, and tho boys are fed
and washed, and partly rested, they have a chance
for learning. A competent teacher is employed to
instruct them; they receive a knowledge of the ru-
diments Of English education, and, occasionally
are entertained by lectures and discourses on sci
entifc subjects. Forty boys is the average mum,
Der in attendance here. The tuition is wholly free
to them; the members Of the firm putting them
selves to cost for the hire of teachers, and use of
lights and books. 1t is an admirable institution"
