Which shall leave the other walking in that Aintv

with fear,
mist sweeping near 800
mere, thou say'st, ''the path is rugged sown with
thorns that wound the feet;
Du' the sheltered glens are lovely and the rivuets
Roses breathe from tangled thicket lilies bend
lodges brown;
Pleasantly between the pcltng showers the sunshine
Dear are those who walk beside MS they whose Iocs
and voices make
All this rugged region cheerful, till l love it for
their sake. "
Far be yet the hour that takes me where that chilly
shadow lies,
from the things know and love- and from the
sight Of loving eyesn
SO thou mqrmurest, fearful one, but see we tread a
rougher way
FAINTER glow the CLEANS of sunshine that upon the
dark rocks play;
Rude winds strow the faded flowers upon the orags
DER which we pass;
Banks of YerduTe, when we reach them hiss with
tufts of wither'd grass.
One by we miss the voices which we loved so
well to hear;
One by one the kindly faces in that shadow disap-
pear.
Yet upon the mist before us fix thine eyes with closer
view;
See, beneath its sulen skirts, the rosy morning glim
through
One whose feet the thorns had wounded passed that
barrier and came back,
With glory on His footsteps lighting yet the dreary
track.
Boldly enter where He entered; all that seems but
darkness here,
When thou once hast past beyond it, haply shall be
crystal clear,
Seen from that serener realm the walks of human
life may lie,
Like the page of some familiar volume open to thine
eye.
HAPPY, from the o'erhanging shadow thou may'st
stretch an unseen hand,

the rugged land
HAPPY, leaning DER the pilgrim all unconscious thou
art near,
Thou mayst whisper words of warming or of com

TILL beyond the border where that bro mystery
bars the sight,
Those whom thou hast fondly cherished stand with
thee i'll peace and light.

dered and pretty soon made themselves heard
IN Court Then followed a scene which at
tracted the attention of ALL and which we shall
not soon forget. The chickens were taken
out on the balcony of the Court room, and
there the witnesses repaired, after each re-
celved piece OF marked yellow paper, about
the size of a mans hand On the railing of
the balcony were four colored candIes-each
about six inches in length-were lighted, on
the right and left were bundles of thin sticks
1--WE believe they are called Joshsticks, also
on fire. Pretty soon after all the prelimna-
ries had been satisfactorily arranged, one of
the Cinnamon stepped forward, and, after,
mumbling over some words, the exact mean
ing of which we failed to comprehend, knelt
upon one leg, seized hold of chicken with
one hand and Ratchet with the other, and in
a twinkling dealt the former blow across the
neck which put an end at once to his earthly
career. Then rising, Immediately after the
consumation of the bloody act, he bowed rev.
erentially before the lighted altar, which prob
ably represented his Josh. lighted his yellow
paper, and cast it on the floor and retired
Another came forward and went through the
same operation, each sacrificing chicken,
until the whole number were sworn to tell,
''the truth, the whole truth and nothing but
the truth, so help them Josh. After this
ceremony was over the trial proceeded in the
usual manner, with the exception of their
being little more gesticulation and loud jar
gon than is general in the court.

RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENcE.-At the Old
South chapel Friday morning, Capt. Bartlett
spoke of a boy in Maiden who was a Catholic,
but has recently renowned his religion and
has suffered severe persecution from his par
ents, insomuch that he was obliged to leave
home, but his mother followed him and took
him back. On their way home in the cars SHE
wanted him to tell the conductor they had no
money, but he refused, saying he had half a
dollar, which he gave her. A police officer
spoke of the children he meets in the night in
the streets of Boston, who are trained to steal.
He says mothers lead out their children from
two years old and upward to pilfer, and from
this class proceed most Of the convicts in our
prisons, SC. As an Offset to this, Mr. More
spoke of the results Of the great revival in
Wales, Mass. Out of population of twelve
hundred and fifty, there were one thousand
members of different churches. This plac re
was some time since notorious for Sabbath
breaking, protane swearing, &c.-Bostoa Ira0-

"rHE HARVEST HoME."-The joy of the
farmers of the west, for the bountiful harvest
just gathered in, was most felicitously mani
tested by gathering at Fort Atkinson, Wis
cousin, on the 18th day of August, to celebrate
a real 'harvest home" In fine oak opening
platform was erected, hung about with rich
clusters of all luscious fruits that grow there,
and sheaves of grain. In front, a rustic altar
Of limestone, covered with earth, was erected
upon (which the interesting ceremony OF
browning the seasons" took place. Thurlow
w. Brown delivered beautiful address Act
ing as grand high priest lie sowed seed upon
the altar, in token of the falling dew, then
(still continuing sort of invocation to the
varying seasons) threw sheaves thereon, and
finally laid sword on the mystic pile The
account of the proceedings persuades us that
the golden age of husbandmen and pastoral
innocence has come at the west

From the n. Y. Express, Sept. 5.

PUNcTUATIoN.-The following inscription
was copied from beautiful and costly marble
tombstone, which Stands in the cemetery of
Genessee, in this state =
BLESSED are they that die in the Lord for
they rest from their abors, Eternal rest give
to him o Lord, and Let perpetual light shine
upon him from the gates of hell, deliver his
soul, 0 Lord may he rest in peace o Lord
hear my prayer and let my supplication come
unto thee. Amen"
The inscription is partially relieved of its
ambiguity by intrenching the deceased chin"
with period, commencing the word ''from"
with a capital letter, and removing the comma
which is planted against the ''the gates of hell"
The Troy Wing trusts it will be done. SO do
we. Few men could rest in peace under the
weight of such Structure"

EXECRABLE.-The man who wrote the fol.
lowing ought to be compelled to marry mer-
maid =
"The girls of Cohasset make nothing of GO
ing into the water and bringing out a shark or
a.mackerel by the nose. They dig clans with
their toes and open quahogs with pinch of
the fingers. They live chiefly on sea fare, so
that when kissed they taste salt and when
they die are preserved half a century. Their
hair, in their old age, turns into dry sea-weed,
and if they have worn caps in old age, the cap
is stiff and glittering with crystalizations of
SALT and if you fall in love with them in their
youth, you find yourself in pickle"

STRANGE SCENES AT A MURDER THAI
Not long since, four Cinnamon were CON
victed at Sonora of the murder of one of their
countrymen. When the Chinese witnesses
were placed upon the stand, considerable diff.
hculty was experienced with regard to their
taking the required oath. The Interpreter
an intelligent Cllinaman, who took the obliga-
uon ~ The usual iorm-informed the Court
that IN order to administrate an impressive
oath to the witnesses, il would be necessary

as burning paper candles, etc. Accordingly,
