worthlessness from one place to another,
until their gaudy glittering. borrowed
from the reflection of their own wealth,
become the means whereby they are
hurled from existence-from memory
itself.
And the srtizan, does he lives for the
present or for the future?
Or does Death; when he grssps him,
pull him for ever from the recollection
of the living, and leave but blank place
in the freside circle for sorrow to occupy
until filed by another?
The answer is plain. The mechanic
leaves his imprint upon the age in which
he lives, and Time marks his history as
guide for the future. A palace is drawn
upon paper-a pencil sketch; it is passed
to the mechanic. Weeks, months, pre-
haps years, roll by, and the pencil struc-
ture Of the brain becomes reality lifting
its marble walls and lofty towers to the
sky, and from its domes the artizan looks
down, and then passes flmy thought
vague, indistinct, yet massive in its con-
ception, and what is it?
That when those for-whom it is built,
those who live, love and ease from life to
death within its halls shall have been
forgotten, he will be remembered, for his
name is carved upon its tablet.
Yes, he will De remembered, and the
time will come when labor alone, will be
the guarantee of honesty, vertue, and
greatness. Labor, whether with the pen,
plough, or at the smoking forge. is all the
same.

ALWAYS FIRA.-There are some
whom the lightning of fortune blasts, on
ly to render holy. Amidst all that hum
bles and scathes, amidst all that skaters
from their life verdure, smites to the
dust the pomp and summit Of their pride,
and in the very heart of existence wri
teth sudden and "strange defeature,"
they stand erect-riven, not uprooted,
monument less of pity than of awel-
There are some who pass through the
lazar house of Misery, with step more
august than Caesar in his halls. The
very things which seen alone, are des-
picable and vile, associated with them,
become almost venerable and divine; and
one ray, however dim and feeble of that
intense holiness, which in the Infant Sa-
vior, shed majesty over the manger and
the straw, not denied to those who, in
the depth of afiiction, cherish His pa
tient image. filings over the meanest To-
calities of earth an emanation from the
glory of Heaven.

OLD LETTERS.
BY FRANCES BROWN.

Came they from sinner or from saint,
Cast them in, for the fire Is faint,
The fre is faint, and the frost is streng,
And those old letters have lived too long
How welcome once 1t matters not,
Thsir worth away with time has sped,
The love is over, the hope is dead,
The old friend has forgot.
Cast them in, they're hard to keep.
And will not let ones memory sleep,
For hints Of age, and tales Of change
Oh, but the turns OF life are strange
The world whereof they speak is gone
How bright they came, and how dim they part
These passing ages OF the heart,
While life and we wear on.
Cast them in, why shsuid they last,
When the light we read them by is past,
And never again will gid our days p
Up like q banner goes the blaze
1t is waste paper and nothing more
Some have been treasured up for years,
Some are blotted with heavy tears,
And some our dreams read Ger.
These were sprinkled with many vow,
The love was never as warm as now
Those by trusty hand were penned-
Woe is for me that friendships end
There goes page Of boyish rhyme
That was sheet Of good advice
We took our own way on the ice,
And learned the worth of 1t all in time.
One glossy wave of curly gold
Was hid in this burning letters fold
'Tis long since that golden head grew gray,
And the grave where it rests is far avsyl-
Up in its might the broad fame flashes
And there they lie, in which all our aims,
Sinking and striving, hopes and schemes,
hust come to-dust and ashes

THE CELESTIAL ARMY.
Iy T. BUCHANAN READ

Ii Il BUCHANAN hEAb-
stood upon the open easement,
And looked upon the night,
And saw the westward going stars
Pass slowly out Of sight.
Slowly the bright procession
Went down the cleaning arch,
And my soul discerned the music
or the long triumphal march;
Till the great celestial army,
Stretching far beyond the poles,
Became the eternal symbol
or the mighty march of souls.
Onward, forever onward,
Red Mars led down his clan;
And the Moon like velied maiden,
Was riding in the van.
And some we're bright in beauty,
And some we're faint and small,
But these might be in their great heights
The noblest Of them all.
Downward, forever downward,
benlno eartns dusky shore,
They passed into the unknown night,
They passed and were no more.
No morsl OH say not so7
And downward is not just;
For the sight is weak and the sense is dim
That looks through heated dust
The stars and the mailed moon,
Though they seem to fall and die,
Still sweep with their embattled lines
An endless reach Of sky.
And though the hills of Death
May hide the bright array,
The marshaled brotherhood Of souls
Still keeps its onward way.
Upward, forever upward,
I see their march sublime,
And hear the glorious music
OF the conquerors Of Time.
And long let me remember,
That the palest fainting one
May to diviner vision be
A bright and blazing sun.

Several parabolic elements have been com
puted. as these differ considerably from eaci
other it is thought. with much probability
that the comet moves in an ellipse of moder

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING An Indiana
court recently decided, in controversy
about charge for advertising between
The Commissioners Of Hamilton county
and the NoblesviIle Patriot, that 1.-the
published terms Of Newspapers constitute
a contract. If work is given to newspa-
per publishers without a special contract
contravening the published terms, the
publisher can charge and receive accor-
ding to the terms so published. 1t is
not necessary 10 prove what the work
cost or WAS worth: the publishers have a
right to fix the estimate of the value OF
their columns, and. If so fixed, no other
question need be asked. but the price
thus charged can be removed.

u We understand Col. Cookery, in his
canvass Of this county. is telling the people
that the Republican party is responsible fol
the recent closing Of the charitable 1nstitu
tons Of the State. That upon the shoulder
Of the Republican members Of the las. Sen
ate, rests this onerous burden. The excuse
given by the Governor for shutting the doors
Of the Insane. the Des and Dumb Asyiums
was, that, as the Legislature failed to make
appropriations for defraying the expenses Of
keeping them open, he was compelled to close
them And he did close them. And the In
sane aud the Blind. the Deaf and the Dumt
were driven from the Institutions prepared fol
them by the munifcence Of the people, and
scattered. at very heavy expense, through
out the State The Institutions were closed
and remained so for several months, but as
soon a. the Governor and the Democratic par
ty found that an indignant public was his

the Democratic party saw it could make no
capital out Of but on the contrary the people
were inquiring into the reason of this outrage,
the doors Of those Institutions were again
thrown open, the insane, the blind and the
deaf were again gathered up. sufficient means
was found. and those institutions have been
kept open up to this very hour.
Now we put this question to Mr.. Cookery
II those Institutions we're closed on account
of failure Of the Republicans to pass the
necessary appropriation bills, how is t. 'ha'
they are all open nowr No appropriation bill
has yet been psssed-no Legislature has been
in session since they were first elosed-ths

that surround them to-day. The money ne
cessary to keep them open could have beer

eessity ever existed for closing them, Why does
not that necessity vet exist.
