Sabbath Araaiun,
The Resurrection.

The Resurrection.
Twice had the SIM gone down dpon.the earth,
and all yet was quiet at the sepnlchre. Death
held his sceptre over the Son of God. Still and
silent the hours passed on. The rays of the
midnight moon cleaned on their helmets and
on their spears The enemies Of Christ exulted
in their success; the learts of bis friends were
sunk in dependency and in sorrow the spirits
of glory waited in anxious suspense to behold
the event, and wondered at the depths of the
ways of God.
At length the morning star arising in the east
announces the approach oflight; the third day
began to dawn upon the world, on sudden,
The earth trembled from it's centre, and the pow
ers of Heaven were shaken an angel of God
descended the guards shrunk from the terror
of his presence, and fell PROSTATE on the earth
his countenance was like lightning, and his raj
ment white as snow he rolled away the stone
from the sepulchre and sat upon it,
But who is this that cometh from the tomb,
with dyed garments from the bed of death; he
that is glorious in his appearance, walking in
the greatness Of his strength 1t is thy Prince,
o Zion Christians, it is your Lord He
hath trodden the wine-pre alone he hath
stained his raiments with blood but now, as
the frst-born Of nature, he meets the morning
of his resurrection! He arises conqueror
from the grave hereturns with blessings from
the world Of spirits, he brings salvation to the
sons of men. Never did the returning sun
usher in day so glorious. It was the jubilee
of the universe. The morning star sang to-
gether and all the sons of God shouted for joy.
The Father of all looked down from His throne
in the Heavens with complacency He saw his
work that it war good Then did the world
rejoice the face ofnature was gladdened before
him, and the blessings ofthe Eternal descended
as the dew Of Heaven for the refreshing of
nations.

A Poetical Sign.

DEAR NIcK-NAx - Us it Nicholas or Nico-
demus Max p In your last No. | saw the des-
cription Of sign board, near Grand Rapids,
Michigan, which reminds me of one I saw about
a year ago, half a mile from GAINESVILLE, Ohio.
| suppose the place was called Rock Springs.
First were the usual representations of Ginger
Horses Mug of Beer, ETC., painted on board.
Then came the poetry, thus -
/" The Rock Spring is very clear,
And soon is made into beer;
Stop, traveller, if you think fit,
And get glass for a fp-penny-BIT
Those two signs should be remembered to-
gether they will be like unto omnibus drivers
and cabmen. They win never die. Neither VIII
they wax old A.

LITTLE THoRNs. The sweetest, the most
clinging affection is often shaken by slightest
breath of unkindness, as the delicate tendrils of
the vine are agitated by the faintest air that
blows in summer An unkind word from one
beloved often draws the blood from many
heart which would defy the battle-axe ofhatred,
or the keenest edge ofvindictive satire. Nay,
the shade, the gloom Of the face familia and
dear awakens grief and pain. These are the
little thorns, which, though men of rough form,
may make their way comfortably through them
without feeling much, extremely incommode
persons Of a more refined turn in their journey
through life, and make their travelling irksome
and unpleasant.

Feeling refreshed he proposed to further re-
gale himself with voyage to Brooklyn; and
had actually embarked, when standing at one
end Of the ferry boat to admire the commercial
prospect on East River, and circulating in a
whisper:
My msfortunes are over and he found
himself over-over head and ears in the whirling
waters from whence be was fshed up, and into

the city fathers on a visit up the stream.

he had the good luck to be engaged as a COM

within an hour he was badly scalded by upset
ting pot of boiling syrup which he was car
rying to cool. This was sweet and bitter mis-
fortune, for it laid him up in the hospital for a
month, beyond the reach of accident.
On stirring aboard again, he entered po-
licestation, and told his whole history, and sug-
gested the hope that he might get an appoint
ment on the police.

To the Boys.
Don't you be afraid, boys,
To whistle loud and long,
Although your quiet sisters
Should call it rude, or wrong.
Keep yourselves good natured,
And if smiling fails,
Ask them if they ever saw
Muzzles on the quails
Or the lovely red-rose
Try to hide her flag;
Or the June to smother all
Her robins in bag
If they say the teaching
OF nature isn't true,
Get sstride the fence, boys,
And answer with whew
I'll tell you what it is, boys,
No water-wheel will spin,
Unless you set whistle
At the head of every pin.
And never kite flew skyward,
In triumph like wing,
Without the glad vibration
Of a whistle in the string.
And when the days are vanished,
For idleness and play,
Twill make your labors lighter,
To whistle care away.
So don't you be afraid, boys,
In spite of bar and ban,
To whistle-it will help you each,
To make an honest man.

tons in the mile-the hollow rail requiring only so
tons to the mile while the solid requires 100 tons.

shortly The FIRST locomotive upon our shores
also arrived Il few days ago; she is named "Cldrks-

900 pounds, being intended for the passenger en-
CINE and some two tons lighter than the "4uoatgOm-

nearly finished. The GAINESVILLE is very pretty
engine but is built with more Of eye to fact than
to fancy. As we write she is standing on Front
Street and after paper goes to press we ex
pect to see her on her legitimate ground. We I'M

R3- Memphis correspondent gives the follow
ing passage in debate between Andy johnson, a
candidate for Gubernatorial honors and Gustavus
Henry, generally known as Gus the Eagle Orator.
The debate was severe, AMI excited much interest
Andy closed his speech with this annihilating dec
lAration
ave met this Eagle, and can say, with an hon
est heart that be has none Of my flesh his talons
none of my blood on his beak.'
This was good, and would have been a stumpcr,
but the undismayed Gus Immediately rose to his
feet and replied;
"Tis true that the honorable gentleman has met
the Eagle, and bears no traces of having left flesh
on his talons or blood upon his bcak. And It's moi
strange, my friends; for those of you who know the
habits of our national bird know full well that he
never feeds Upon carriOaF
Such shout and such discontinue made Andy
quake, but didn't defeat him for Governor.

Dds- In another column we publish from the
Kaorpilss Fhg article concerning the Professors
In Stewart College That article speaks in the high
est terms Of the Professors. From what our COM
munity knows of those who have been among us,
coupled with the above commentator of Others, we
may proudly point to the Faculty Of Stewart Col
lege as Of the ablest in the South or West and
while inspiring confidence should actuate all our
citizens and neghborhood, to put themselves vigor-
ously to work, to sustain among us institution Of
sach high promise and calculated to do SO much
good to us and our heirs. Anfin this connection
may say, that those who have not taken scholar
chips in this College, longer hesitate to en-
brace such an excellent opportunity to confer upon
youth and posterity the inestimable advantages
Of superior education at such low rates as the
plan OF scholarships affords. This should be done
at once that the Trustees can certainly retain the
services Of these distinguished men and scholars in
our midst. We learn that the Trustees have assur-
Ances of good attendance of students at the next
seesou, beginning September LIST 1859.

New CHuRcH.-The people on the Soutf-side of
the River, are about commencing the building of
new Church at Antioch. This is one of the oldest
places of worship in the State, having had regular
Camp-meetings at this Church for some forty or
fifty years. We glad to see that the spirit of inn
provement has at last got hold of the people in that
vicinity. And just here we would suggest, tina;
whilst they are improyeing, that more and better
camps needed and they should build them at
once. Read the advertisement headed ito builders.

SrRAsoE--Less than two months ago we had
nine mails week from Nashville, which being a
Distributing office, is the point whence we procure
most Of our Letters. Now the service has been re-
dlced 10 three mails per week. This reduction
takes place during busiest season when letters
become very important, aud especially during the
existence OF war which makes easy intercon,-
municaton by mails more necessary. When we
consider that our annual commerce amounts TO from
hye To eight millions of dollars it is easy to perceive
TINT this reduction Of the mail service operates as a
great injury to all our producers and dealers.
We learn that the horse mail contractor Mr. Hook
crsmith, tried to pay a debt of $25 with Govern
ment assurances or scrip and that his creditor re-
fusing to receive the same, the contractor threw NJ
the contract. it is also said that the creditor said
that he would rather have the note of the contract
or than the certificate of Uncle Sam. All this oc-
Cured in Montgomery ceunty.
