THE OLD SEXTON.

Nigh 10 grave that was newly made,
Leaned sexton old on his earth-worn spade
His work was done, and he paused to wait
The funeral train through the open gaze;
d relic OF by-gone days was he.
And his locks were white as the foamy sea
And these words came from his lips so thin,
Il gather them in L gather them in ~
I gather them in for man and boy,
Year af ter year of grief and joy,
I've buiided the houses tn at be around
In every nook of this burial ground;
Mother and daughter, father and son,
Come to my solitude one by one,
But come they strangers, come they kin,
IL gather them in, [ gather them in ~
Many are with me, but still I'm alone!
m king of the dead-and [ make my throne
On monument slab of marble cold
And my sceptre of rule is the spade | hold.
Come they from cottage, come they from hall,
Mankind are my subjects-all, all. all :
Let them loiter in pleasure. toilful spin,
Il gather them in, L gather them in!'
l gather them in-and their final rest
is here, down here. in the earth S dark breast
And the sexton ceased-for the funeral train
Wound mutely over the solemn plain;
And L said to my heart. when time is told

COFFEE AND MLK.-Dr. D. A. CaroD. of
Paris, has recently been engaged in investiga-
ting the effect of breakfasting on this favorte
beverage, and from the results, he thinks that
he is justified in asserting that most of the
nervous and allied disorders which affect the
dwelers in large cities are traceable to this
source. He further informs US that when the
coffee is mixed with milk, its nutritious prop
critics are neutralized because OF its fermenta-
tion being retarded. Coffee and milk in Il bot
tie were twenty-seven days before they began
to decompose, whilst milk and sugar were only
three days. 1t is evident that the astringent
properties of the coffee hinder the digestion
Of the milk and, ct the same time, the ca
feline COR active principle of cofee) is set free,
and acts on the membrane of the stomach in
the same manner as vegetable alkalies, produ-
cling most disastrous consequences to the di-
gestive apparatus. He tried many experiments
on himself and friends, and found that in a
few hours the pulse was lowered from so to 6S,
from that it went to SO, when he took some
food, and it immediately rose to ~. He con-
cludes by informing us that many cases of ir-
ritation, nervousness and hystera have been
entirely cured by geutle course of tonicsi
and giving up the use of coffee.

COOP ApvIcE.-I know that if women want
to escape tile stigma of husband seeking,
they must act or look like marble or clay
cold, expressionless, bloodless; for every
appearance of feeling, of joy, sorrow, friend :
illness, antipathy, admiration, disgust, are
alike construed by the world into the attempt
to hook a husband. Never mind! wel-mean-
ing women have their own consciences to
comfort them after all. Do not therefore,
be too much afraid OF showing yourself as
you are. afectionate and good hearted do
not to harshly repress sentiments and fe elings
excellent in themselves, because you fear that
some puppy may fancy that you are letting
them come out to fascinate him do not con-
denim yourself to live only by halves, because
if you showed too much imitation, some prag-
matical thing in breeches might take it into
his pate to imagine that You designed to ded-
icate your life to his inanity .-Jane Eyre.

MORMON INTERNAL MAcHIsRs.-There have
been reports that the Mormons had provided
some new weapon with which to meet the in
rading forces of the United States Govern
ment. The Washington States says it is an ex-
plosive material, the secret of which was dis
covered in the archives of the Patent Office
by Russian agents, and that it was used in de.
stroying the works at Sebastopol; that after
the war the invention was submitted, by order
OF our Government, to certain persons to ex-
pertinent and report upon, and that these men
proved to be Mormons, who carried the secret
to Utah.

spends his fathers money, rides fast horses
on horseback and in sulkeys-double and sim
gle-drinks Catawba, curses the Maine law

which are just like himself, though of DIFF

education of our day. The fathers and moth

The Havana correspondent Of the N.
Y. Herald, writing on the 23d ult.. states
that the landings of slaves were frequent,
and carried on in the most undisgulsed
manner. The flags Of France, Holland
and the United States were displayed
by the traders. FIVE hundred and
ninety nine free colonists from China
had been set ashore from two vessels, one
of which lost GO coolies by death on the
passage. They me by way of st. Hele-

unfortunates were cruelty lashed, and
suicides had been SO frequent amongst
them that government investigation OF
the causes which led to it took place,
when revolving state of management
was exposed. Fourteen thausand eight
hundred and ninety-one Asiatics had
been set ashore during the year up to
the 28th ult., and two thousand three
hundred and four others had died on the
passage. a cargo OF Africans was land
ed at the Punta Castle on the 18th ult,
which filled forty v)lantes, in which
they were driven off to the plantations.
