MARY.

There's name offosr letters that once could hear
With the utmost indifference; but to my ear
II now has more chaims than the mnrlnu Of bees
Or the musical ripple Of tropical seas
Than n Summer evo breeze, or n Winter-night wind
Or the airs of a Go,tschalk or songs cfa Lind.
And whenever the fair one who bears it glidcs by
The earth becomes brighter, and buer tho sky,
And there fingers odor surprisingly sweet
About even the prints of her f.iry-like foet,
For her exquisite presence imparts to the air
A richness and fragrance beyond all compare;
But 0. at the sound Of hor veice-at word
From her ftro.y lips how my pulses stirred =
Do you ask me her name? | can only reply,
1t begins with an NJ and ends with Y.
And she among women, to whom it was given
In ages gone by, was most favored of Heaven.

GETTING TO HEAVEN BY WAY OF New Or
LEANs.-The Philadelphia correspondent of
tne New York Dispatch gives the follow
ing rather tough afecdote:
We have Methodist preacher here who
is n jolly wag. A few days since, a young
man who had long been attached To his church,
and who was about to leave for New Orleans,
came to bid his pastor farewell. sand so
YOU are going to that degenerate place, New
Orleans, are you!" aye sir; but don't
expect to be Influenced by amy extraneous
pressure ofany kind" responded the young
man, with considerable eurnestness. "WelI,
am glad to see you so confident hope
the Lord will guide you. But do you know
the temptations which exist there?" "Not
particularly, sir" "Well, do. You'll find
wanton women in the guse of Peris, temp
ting the very elect; and rare wines and ardent
drinks; and you'll find gay company, and
night hrawing, and gambling, and dissipation,
and running after the lusts of the old man
ADAM" "Still sir, hope to combat these
successfully" 81 hope you will, my dear
Christian BROTHER" was the reply, 81 hope
YOU will. And let me give you this much
for your consolation in case you should fall
from grace. The tempter is worse than the
sin, and the greater the temptation, The more
merit there is in resisting it. The man ,oho
goes 10 Hearen by the pay Of Nep Orleans
is sure 10 hare tpice as high place in eter
nal glory as he wko reaches Paradise through

A CORRECT CLASSIFICATION OF CALLINGs
Gen. Leslie Combs thus classitirs the diff
ferent calings among men:
sin the sweat OF thy brow shalt thou eat
bread" was the law of creation.
There were three departments ofhumar
labor.
The first and highest was he who plough
ed the soil, sowed the seed. aud reapcd the
harvest.
The second, the mechanic and manufac
turer, who made the wheat into flour and the
wool into garments.
Third and last was the merchant; he was
the legs and arms OF human society, carrying
the produce from the farmer 10 the manuiac
turer, and bringing it back.
Other Professions were required to make
up the machinery of human society, but they
were merely the chinking and daubing, such
as lawyers, doctors, etc,

sSY During one of the widest storms Of
the last stormy winter, m American ship,
the Northern Belle, was driven ashore and
utterly wrecked upon The coast of Kent
The hardy seaiaring inhabitants of that part
af England assembled upon the shore, not to
gaze idly upon the terrible spectacle before
them, but to devise means to reach the i'm
perled crew. The lite boat was manned by
volunteers, bOatmen OF Deal, who contended
with one another in their eagerness to rusl,
to the relief of the heI pless strangers, through
such serf as landslnen never dreamed of
when they sing the praises OF the "wet sheet
and the flowing sea" around cosy supper
table. Three times the gallant fellows
fought their way to the ship, till, with per.
sislent heroism never surpassed before the
"imminently deadly breach" or the "rannon's
mouth" they had wrung the victory from
the waves, and landed every living soul on
board that beleagured vessel in safety on the
beach.

HoRRID MURDER.-By an extra from the
Sparta Times office, we learn that on the 9th
of April, on the road leading from Calf Xii
Ter to Mrs. Johnson's on the Cumberland
Mountain, Cumberland county, Tenn. 90
miles from Sparta, the body of murdered
man was found, who was supposed to be if
ty'iive or six years ofage. He had on good
clothes, fine white fur hat, and case and spec
tacles, and three dollars in silver was found
about his person. A .ine broadcloih cloak
was found attached to his saddle. His throat
appeared to be cut, and three bullet holes
were found in his hat. He had been mur.
dered on the road, carried over 100 yards,
and had been mutilated about the head and
face by the hogs.
All good citizens should use their utmost
exertions to ferret out the perpetrators of
this hOrrid deed.

ELoPEMENT OF A PRIEST WITH His PEE.
ITENT.-Full files of English and continent
al papers brought by the Niagara, which
left Liverpool on the 2sth of March, have
been received. Among other items of inter.
est, we notice the following which is furn-
ished by the Paris correspondent of the
London Times:
One morning last week every newspaper
office of Paris was visited by government
message, who in breathless haste, forbade
them to print word of the news which had
ust arrived from Meaux. The grand ricdirs
hnd fled with one of his fair penitents, Mad
lie Vacquern by name, and one of the most
beautiful girls in the place. What makes
the affair so terrible just at this moment is,
that this intrigue of the grand ricaire, which
forms one of the accusations upon which
Verger based his proofs of the corruption Of
the clergy, breaks out just as Verge. and his
damning proofs were beginning to be forgot.
The young lady, who has refused the most
brilliant offers of marriage, and who is pos
sessed of large fortune in her own right,
has by the advice of her paramour, who 10
supposed to have been her lover ever since
she first attended his confessional, FIVE years
ago, only waited until her coming Of age and
the transfer of her money from the hands Of
her relations into her own, to take this extra.
ordinary and decided step. The grand "
caire is tall handsome man of good family.
The fugitives have landed in England-and

tion of throwing his froc aur or,ies, and

SPEAK KINDLY TO THE ERRISG.-No bad
man is ever brought to repentance by angry
words, bitter and scornful reproaches. He
fortifies himself against reproofs, and hurls
back foul charges in the face of his accuser.-
Yet guilty and hardened as he seems, he has
heart in his bosom and may be melted to
tears by gentle voice. Whose, therefore,
can restrain his disposition to chide, and can
bring himself down to fallen brother, will
soon find way to better feelings within
