"Much may be said of Protestant diversi-

it is, that nations where the Bible circulates

Our Last Sleeping Place.

The Chicago journal observes: II

the dying poet, and beautiful was the
thought, though solemn. To minglc
thus with nature in her sweetest forms
of life, is not to die; it is as if the pass
ing of the soul through vestibule of
June's own building, on, to the inner
gates of paradise. To be wa'ted through
the air on the crimson wings of fire; to
to leave little dues for token, in the bot
tom of an urn, is not like lying a weary
child at rest. closc folded in the bosom
of the earth. To lie beneath the 5illow
ed maple on the hillside, green and slo-
ping to the sun, with birds singing in
the boughs, and thc threshold flowers
soft toiling in the air, is no unpleasant
thought. The fever of the world is past,
its st:ifcs all driftcd over, even as the
cloud that sheds shadow on the SPAN
glcd heap, and passes on forever. 10
turn memorial with ohe Arctic touch and
wear the seamless robe of winter, for a
shrora; to have the tear that parting
wrings from trembling nature, lie like an
impcrishable jewel on the check of death
has little charm. To be let gently down,
some pleasant summers night, into the
cleft crystal of lake, to ones last sleep,
would not be to bid the light good bye.
For there, as if in the lower sphere of
the fEishcd He'0en, the form should lie
among the doubles of the stars, and the
shimmering of the moon. The dawn
should reddcn there, and the great sun
move 1uenchess through the waters; it
would not be beyond, the fight of day
that burial place-asd yet below the
storn that wrecks both sea and sky.

The earth has many treasures rare,

Which marked the after years.
When shining on the soft white hand
That wiped away my tears.
And, oh | saw it once again,
When on her dying bed,
She lifted up her hand in prayS+,
And laid it on my head
Beside that bed, where fell my tears,
The ring to me was given:
She placed it on my hand and said,
We'll meet again in heaven.
/ kissed the cheek | Of; had pressed,
From which the rose had fled,
And. bowed with grief, stood motherless
Alone; beside the dead.
Among the blest in realms above,
Where sorrows are unknown,

No more to weep alone.
Her dying words Of love and faith
I'll cherish evermore
Within the heart that holds so dear.

THE LAW OF NEWSPAPERS.

Ifsubscribers order the discontinuance OF
their newspapers, the publisher may continne
to send them until all arrearages are paid.
Ifsubscrbers neglect or refuse to take their
newspapers from the Office to which they are
directed, they are held responsible until they
nave settled the bills and orderedthem discon-
tinued.
If subscribers move to other places without
informing the publisher, and the newspapersare
sent to the former direction, they are held re-
sponsible.
The courts have decided that refusing to
take newspapers from the office, or removing,
and leaving them uucalled for, is prima facia
evidence ofintentioual fraud.
