This queer world.

The following eloquent passage closes
the Baccalaurato Address Of the Hon.
A, b. Longstroct, President Of South
Carolina College at Columbia, to the
recent Graduating Glass
F" You are embarking upon strange
world, my young friends. It banishcd
.Aristidcs, poisoned Socrates, murdered
Cicero, and orucfcd tie Lord Of Glory.
The spirit Of Thomistoclcs, Of Nclitus,
Of Anthony and Cuiaphas is still in the
world greatly suhduod and law bound,
to be sure, but not cxtinguished. You
may expect, therefore, at times to be de-
pressed by your rivals, condemned for
your patriotism, and tormcnted for your
bencfactions, to have your confidence
abused, your integrity doridod and to
suffer a thousand imposiiions in smaller
mattors-from those from whom you had
a right to expect better things. These
are hard things to hear, you say They
are so, my young friends, aud you never
viii bear them aa you should, unless you
take the good book for your guide, and
look daily to its Author for supplies Of
strength sufficient for your trial, Do
this, and all will be well at last. With
that char. in your hand, now launch your
barque upon the troubled ocean of life ;
and when the squalls strike you, be at
least as prudent as the common sailor,
and be found hard at the helm, with your
chart before you and your eye fixed on
Bethlchcm's star.

THE RISING MOON.
-H
BY ". o. PEABODY.

By ". o PEABODY,
The moon is up how calm and slow
She wheels above the hill
The weary winds forget to blow,
Ard all the world lies still.
The way-worn travellers with delight,
Her rising brightness see,
Revealing all the paths and plains,
And gliding every tree.
II glistens where the hurrying stream
Its l;te ripping hcayes;
Il falls upon the forest shade,
And sparkics On the leaves.
So once on Judah's evening hills
The heavenly lustre spread
The Gospel sounded from the blaze,
Aud shepherds ga2ed with dread.
And still that light upon the world
It's guiding splendor throws,
Bright in the opening hours Of life,
And brighter at It's close.
The waning moon in time shall fail
To walk Tue midnight skies;
But God hath lindled this bright light
With fire shat never dies.

scene In u Church.

A Litchicld county correspondent OF
the Hartford Times tells a story Of n
preacher in a country town in Connect
cut. who after announcing his text, pro-
cecded with his sermon, but had not gopo
far, when he said to tho astonished audi
ence:
II have been instructed not TO preach
anything Of Abolition or Republicanisnl
but, | must serve my Master and
l."
At this juncture Deacon Doolittle rose
and said
Hold on Tts my impression you
have said enough. Turning to the audi
encc, J Meeting is out =
The audience rose Simultaneous J, and
taking their hats, went cut. The minis
ter sat down. Deacon Doolittle went to
tho pulpit and said to him:
If you want to preach politics havc
no objection and my house is at your
service But this church 10 not the pro-
per place, aud it cannot be permitted. "a
If you desire to give a political sermon
or speech, you ear do it at my house, or
any other place, and ! will warrant II
good audience. and you shall have fair
play and not be hurt But you must
not attempt it in this church"
There was no more preaching in that
church that afternoon.

VALUE or a LpE. Mr.. Charles NJ.
Which, Of London, has published q
simple rule for computing the probable
value Of property in life at any age from
five to sixty lie says that the cxpec-
iadon Of life is equal to two-thirds Of the
difference between the Of the party
and eighty. Thus, say a man is now
twenty years old. Between that ace and
eighty there arc sixty years. Two-thirds
Of sixty are forty; and this is the sum
Of his expectation Of life. If a man be
now sixty be viii have an expectation Of
nearly fourteen years more. BY the
same rule, a child Of five had q contin-
gent lein on life for fifty years. Every
one can apply the rule to his own age.
Mr.. Willichs hypothesis may be as cast
ly remembered as that by DR.. Moiyre,
in the last century which has now become
obsolete from the greater accuracy Of
mortality tables. The results obtained
by tho new law correspond very closely
with those from Dr. Farr's English Life

A Mothers love.

Some Of our readers may recollect a
thrilling ballad which was written on
the death Of woman who persisted in
the snowdrift Of the Green Mountains
Of Vermont, that bore an infant on her
bosom, and when the storm waxed loud
and furious, true to a mothers love, she
rent her own garments and wrapped
Thorn around her babe. The morning
found her a st;lfened corpse but her babe
survived. That babe grew to manhood,
and became tho Speaker Of the Ohio
Senate How thrilling must be his
thoughts Of that mother if he be a true
largo hearted man! How deep a mo-
TIERS love 4! How. many a mother is
there who would die for her son if called
in Providence to do so? Let sons when
far away from home on the land or on
the sea, when tho ego Of no mother is
upon them, remember her love, and be
restrained by it from entering the path
Of vice Let them say nothing which a
mother would not approve, and they win
mover bring down her gray hairs with
sorrow to tho grave.

BY CALVIN B. MCDONALD.
Weary, the Hebrew herdsman trode Mathberah's
plain,
And, toiling slowly thro' the Southern land,
sought rest amid the sylvan groves of Ramah.
Ills iathers tribe was Benjamin; and sending
forth
HIS son, to search for straying cattle.
hlsh proudly gazed upon his noble boy
Who rose above his fellows, strong and tall
AS he had seen the stately cedars aspre above
The lumber trees of Lebanon.
The youthful beard was curling on his lip,
Dark as the shrouds that nightly hung on Carmel.
And the full, strong blush of youth mantled on
His cheek, as sunset glowed upon the crimson sea-
His sincws swelled with manhood's perfect
strength,
And his broad bosom rose and fell,
As wearied, from Judeas burning sands,
He sought the shade Of shetering olive
The youthful herdsman SAUL
Out towards the sea, uprose the hills of Salem
Mount Zion, towering from the plain,
Like Gath's proud champion, whom David slew
And eastward rose Moriah, where Judea's king
Upreared the grandest wonder of the world
The stately Temple While northward, stood
The ominous Mount of Calvary, from which,
With one tremendous throe of agony,
The dying JEW upheld a sinking world
The herdsman and his slave then sought
Madens, with s4ndalled feet and olive cheek
Came out to draw from Rachels well,
And lave their round, brown arms
Within the cool, upgushing fountain
Their dark hair fell, in many folds,
On bosoms pure as virgin SHOWS of Bozrah
And ebon glances flashed with kndling love,
As setting down the vessel at the sprlng,
They gaZed upon the manly form and curling
beard
And broad, white brow, dmped in waving folds
Of matchless hair that crowned the son of Kish.
"Yonder," they said,
"Within the sacred vail, the prophet Samuel
Before the Ark. Put off thy shoes, for, 10 to day
The PRESENCE burns before assembled Israeli"
Forth came the prophet
Bending low upon his staff, for he was very old.
Time had wrought full alphabets of age
Upon the once smoothe brow ElSana kissed
In the first triumph Of a fathers love;
And the night-dark locks that Hannah held
Aloft before the Lord, had turned to gray
And long, white lash hung heavily Ger eyes
That oft had reverent closed when the SHEKINAH
fell
Upon the sacrafce His patriarchal beard
Sank down upon his breast like drifting snow,
And the thin, invoking hand, above the son of
Kish,
Shook with the palsies ofprophetic years.
81 AM THE SEER!
"Sand forth, thou comliest son of Benjamin
"As for thine asses lost three days ago,
"Set not thy mind on them, for they are found.
