ORIGINAL POEM
Written for the Smyrn& Times.
ON THE DEATH OF w +* r..

BY A STUDENT.
Autumn drew nigh to Winters verge,
The North wind cold and drear,
Swept from his sylvan harp dirge
For the fast dying year.
The blue bird on the ealess spray,
Covering before the blast
Gave to the winds cheerIess cry,
That family brought t4e past,
Through surging forests dark roamed.
Oppressed with heavy wo,
For William was my dearest friend,
And Death had LAID HIM low;
And, as with wild, distracted step,
wandered Oh alone,
The wind tossed from Beighboring vale
The fragment Of moan.
Down where mournful cypress waved,
TempesIu0us 0 er her heal,
Maria, needless Of her charms,
Bewailed the untmely dead.
Her raven hair dlshe\ elled, torn,
Her lace was lIvid pale,
And thus lispalrIng, sorrow-worn,
She raised her plainliye wall:
"ABoye those clouds that wrap the globe
In terror and dismly,
My William, freed this earthly load,
Shines in eternal day.
Beneath the sun, that gads his eye,
No dark'ning tempests roll,
But heavenly Peace, and Love, and Joy,
Surround him with their smile.
O.! could die as he hath died.
And leave this earthly sphere,
And he no more be lost TO me,
would not shed tear.
But losing him, | lose the world,
My Light my Strength, my all,
And, through deep'nng night Of NO.
Still pless must. L fall.
My William bright thou seemed and near,
To this dark vale of tears
We saw thee rise glorious star,
And fondly called thee ours.
But oh !-recoding from our sight,
We found-alas too soon,
SOue brighter Power controlled thy fate,
Some stronger. brighter sun.
Thy joy was like the morning light;
Tho tempered it was pure;
Thy pity melted like the moon
On sorrows midnight hour;
But thou art set TO rise for aye,
On other worlds than this;
Snalched from the clouds Of mortal clay,
TO brighten heavenly bliss.
That awful day still haunts my mind,
Thy last above the earth;
Dark rolled the hearse, and darkly moved
The solemn tram Of ofdealh,
Whilst thou alone, whom thousands mOurned
Cold in thy collin bed,
So sweetly smiled, we scarce could think
Thy lovely spirit fled.
o Death Friend of the friendless one,
only wait for thee;
My lightsome summer.day is gone,
And all is night TO me.
Ere gentle Springs mild beaming eye
Makes Williams grave to bloom,
o! may all unconscious lie
Deep in the silent tomb.

JUDGE GiLPIN AMONG THE DOCTORs Chief
Justice Gilpin gave it as his opinion few days
days since, from the high Judicial bench of
Delaware, that it was one of the easiest matters
in the world TO obtain physicians certificate
to anything, and that really in law such certif
cate amounted to nothing. "Physicians," said
the judge "are not under oath while making
out their certificates, and it is optional with
them whether they tell the truth or not Some
of them, no doubt, are tenacious of their veraci-
ty, and others otherwise,-just like like all
other classes of men except the preachers"
Most noble Judge, you have pronounced a
libel upon the most learned, the most noble,
and the most truthful of all earthly professions
do you look upon the doctors as you must
upon the lawyers, and suppose them so given
to lying that the truth is not in them Or have
have you sometime during your life been too
heavily dosed by an Escuapan, and take the
present opportunity of wringiDg out the Walls OF

Loss OF APPETITE IN THE SPRING The
decline of appetite in spring is not the
symptom or the effect of disease; il is, as it
were the wise forethought of sleepless in,
stinet, which puts out it's blind fearless
ahead to clear away danger Instinct, that
wonderful impalpable thing, the agent of
the Almighty power, the instrument of love
Divine; its lesson is that the body does not
require SO much food, hence the desire for
it is taken away; and if men could only be
induced to read that lesson Alright, to prac.
tise it by simply eating according to the ap-
petite, by not going to the table if they did
not 'leel like eating any thing and then
resolutely wait until the next meal, and at
no time eating an atom, unless there was a
decided desire for tiff such a course were
judiciously pursued the spring time would
be to us a waking up to newness of life, as
it is to the vegetable world. But instead of
thus cooperating with our instincts, 1--WE
take something bitters, pills, any thing
that any body advises as good for 'whetting
up the appetite" 1t acts like charm; we
speak loudly in its praise, and dozen or
more are induced to follow the example
But soon the bubble bursts. Nature was
only drugged; her voice was hushed only
to wake up little later to find her ward
Frustrated by serious and to old persons,
often fatal sickness. To avoid spring disea'
ses, then, ahate the amount of food eaten at
least onethird, and work or exercise with a
proportionate deliberation.

Slow wandering over wood aud plain,

And drop at last on the forest mould,
Coral aud ruby aud burning gold.
And sunsets CLEAN of gorgeous dyes
We die with one shadow fades away,
But slowly DER those radiant skies
There steals the evening cold and gray,
Aud amber and violet linger still
When stars are over the eastern hill

And they will open for you aud ire.

CENTENARY CELEBRATIoN.-At the recent

DIR. James Hanilton's church. Regent
Square, London, among other subjects in
troduced, was resolution in reference to
the the third Centenary Celebration of the
Scottish Reformation, in 1860. A hope was
expressed that America would send some of
her gifted ministers, and ruling elders, to
the Edinburgh meeting. The French Pro-
testant churches have just celebrated a sim,
liar festival with relation to their national
Reformation, bringing forcibly to mind the
closeness with which Scotland followed the
lead taken on the Continent, in those stirring
events which, three hundred years ago,
shook Popery to its centre, and gave to our
Presby polity its consistency, and FIRST
development since the Apostles days.
