THEODORE PARKER's NEW WORK.

The late book issued by Theodore Parker to his
church. abOunds in gems. Speaking o. the hopes
entertained of his recovery from his present ill.

But if neither of these hopes become a fact. il

the golden bowl be broke, let not US com plain
a new bowl and q stronger cord, shall serve the
Well of Life for you. Though quite aware how
probable this seems, believe me, l have not vet
had a single hour of sadness trust me, l shall
not. True, it is not pleasant to leave the plough
broken in the furrow just begun, while the seed
corn smiles in the open sack, impatient to be sown,
and the whole field promises such liberal return.
To say Farewell to the thousands l have been
wont to preach to, and pray with. now joyous,
and fearful now-it has its bitterness to one not
eighty-four, but forty-eight. To undo the natu-
raj ties more intimately kni. of long-continued
friendship and of love this is the bitter part.
But if it be my lot, let not you nor me COM
plain. Death comes to none except to bring a
blessing it is no misfortune to lay aside these
w~ell-love6 weeds of earth. and be immortal.
To YOU, as u congregation, my loss may be easily
supplied and to me it is an added consolation to
know that, however long and tenderly remembered

in my place, perhaps without my defects. possessed
of nobler gifts. and certainly not hindered by the
ecclesiastical and social hostility which needs must
oppose a man who has lived and wrought as I. 1t
will not always be unpopular justly to seek tho
welfare of all men. Let us rejoice that others

From the Banner Of Light.
BE THOU READY.
By FRANK LEE.

Be thou ready, fel~low-mortal,
In thy pilgrimage of life,
Ever ready 20 uphold thee
In the toll and in the strife :
Let no hope, however pleasant,
Lure thy footsteps from the right,
Nor the sunshine leave thee straying
In the sudden gloom of night.
Be thou ready when thy brother
Bows in dark affections shade
Be thou ready when thy sister
Needs thy kindness and they aid
Let thy arm sustain and cheer them
They have claims Upon US all
And thy deeds, like morning sunlight,
On their weary hearts shall fall
Be thou ready when the erring
Lists to sims enchanting strain
Ready with kind words to WOO them
Back to virtues path again
Be thou ready, in thy weakness,
To do good to friend or foe,
As thv Father sheddeth freely
Light on all that dwell below,
Be thou ready for the morrow,
When delight shall please no more
When the rose and lilly fadeth,
And the charm Of song is DER
When the voices of thy kindred
Family move thy dying ear
Be thou ready for thy journey,
10 that higher, brighter sphere.

No man can tell whether he is rich or DOOR by
turning to his ledger. 1t is the heart that makes
a man rich. He is rich or poor according to
what he is, not according to what he has,

Let no man be too proud to work. Let no man
be ashamed Of a hard fist and a sunburnt couu-
tenauce. Lot him be ashamed only of ignorance
and sloth. Lot him only be ashamed of dishon.
ssty and idleness.

The Ratification Meeting.

The spirit Of harmony that prevailed at the
late Ratification Meeting was extremely crafty
ing, and augurs most successful termination Of
the canvass on the 26th of May. The speeches
delivered on the occasion were animated and
impressive, and the appeals made for concert of
action and active exertion were answered by
approving plsudits from the unusually large az
sembly Of Wings aud Americans present. The
signs of the times are indeed most encouraging
In this county. The nominations for the Legis-
lature were made unanimously, aud backed by
such meeting they can bid defiance TO opposi-
ton. 1t is not probable that the Democracy
will have ticket in the 6Sld, and scarcely pos
sibls that any one calling himself Wing will
have the temerity to thrust himself forward at
such crisis. We take it for granted that no

The Harrisonburs Convention.

We learn from from the published proceed
ings of the Congressional Convention which
in Hsrrisonburg on Wednesday last, that l75
delegates were present from the following coun-
ties; Rockingham 70, Augusta 70, Rockbridge
z, Shenandoah IL, Bath 8, Pendleton 8, and
highlands. Hardy was not represented, aud it
is said that all Of the delegates from Shenandoah
were from one msgisterial district. The del
egates from Bath, Highland, Pendleton, Rocx
bridge and Shenandoah cast the Democratic
vote of their counties; the delegates from Rock
inghsm and Augusta voted BY districts. Capt.
Martz withdrew bis name before the vote was
taken. The votes cast for Messrs. Hartman,
Skinner and Newman, respectively, are not re-
ported, but Mr.. Skinner received lsrgs ma
jority, and on motion of John A. Hartman, Esq,
the nomination was made unanimous. Mr..
Skinner was then sent for, and accepted the
nomination imam appropriate speech. Hisfriends
in Stsunton gave him s.ssrensde on Thursday
night.

A Canton to Wings,

There are now two democrats IN the field for
Congress the nominee Of q Convention of
The party--tIe other running on his own hook.
From present indications the race will be close
one--so close that, no man eau new tell who will
come opt foremost. As Wigs we are under no
obligations Ia support either Skinner or Harris
They are both ta.red with the same slick
both red hot locofocos, and we have no favors
to expect at the hands OF either. They both
want our votes-thsir friends will urge US to the
support of oae or the other as the case may be.
Why should We prefer one over the other q
There Is no reason for 1t; then let US refuse to
pledge ourselves TO either at pre'ePt--ye may
yet lave Wing candidate. Why mott The
democracy have refused free fght-we are
absolved from arl obligations not 10 run man.
But if we should not have candidate OF our
own. let US make our votes for either Skinner
or Harris count for Goggin. Don't vote for Ell
Their unless Democrat will agree to vote for
Gogsip. It is perfectly fair to trade in this
way-and'it il the only way in which we should
agree to vote for either Skinner or Harris.

Rekind,ipr Of ,he wits Fires.

Animated by the example of their brethren IN
other States, the Wings of Louisiana ana OF AZ
ALBANIA are considering the propriety OF reorgan
izing their forces preparatory to an efficient par
ticipation in the elections appointed to be heo
in those States, as also in the Presidential con
test in 1860. Among many other similar eS
pressions of public opinion We select, and give III
another place, the addresses OF several members
OF the Legislature OF Louisiana, calling upou 'he
Wings of that State to meet in Convention a'
New Orleans ON the second Wednesday OF mex
June, in order to perfect their organization anu
nominate On independent ticket to be supported
by the party at the approaching election. AS q
single evidence of the feeling which in Ike maui
ner peryades the conservative press OF Alabama,
we also cite the stirring appeal addressed to the
Wings of that State by our able contemporary
the Mobile Advertiser, which suggests the e1pe-
diency of holding State Convention OF the Up
position at as early day as may be deemed
practicable. 1t is to be hoped that these sug'
Vestions may be seconded by the Wing press
throughout the State. a tU
Meanwhile the Wings of Virginia are vigor'
ously prosecuting the campaign 10 that state
and are rallying to the support of their excellent
candidates with an enthusiasm which has been
rarely exceeded. And from Tennessee we have
already learned by telegraph that the Hon. John
Netherland has been selected by reclamation as
the standard.bearer of the Opposition in th'
canvass which is about to be opened, as we learn
under auspices most propitious to the success o
sound and conservative principles.
