THE LOST LOVER,

Genuine fun at times gets into the
church. In one of our meetings, in
which petitions from all sorts of per-
sons are read for all sorts of things.
one was read for "a young woman
who had lost her first love- In the
meeting was person who frequently
took part, whose habit il was 10 add
eel" after some words, such as Z" d
Lord-er " Hear our prayer-er ;"
Come and bless us-er." Being q
believer in falling from grace, he had
an eye To the young woman who had
lost her first love he arose To pray
for her, which he did in this manner
80 Lord, hear the prayer--er of this
young womau-er who has lost her
first torer." In each repetition of the
word he called 1T lover" and SO en-
phasized the word first" the case
seemed particularly hard from the
fact that it was her first lover she
lost. Had it been the second one, or
any other, the aflliction would not
have seemed SO great and AS the ar
dent prayer went forth that the lost
lover might be restored, grave faces
relaxed, and counienances unused to
smile IN the house OF the Lord could
not resist the temptation. Tie idea
OF stray lover being the theme of
prayer was comical indeed. No Que
could keep his face straight. ."'

To tie Editor Of the htclHgeacer:
The expedition under Gen. McPher-
son to find ont the whereabouts of
the rebels, and punish them if pos
sib'e, has returned. They found only
one Division of the enemy, and it was
impossible to obtain more than a run
ming fight from them. The rebels
were all mounted, and could move
much faster than our infantry. The
cavalry had several skirmishes, but
nothing serious.
The probable object of the rebel
leader was to menace this city and
prevent, if possible, any portion of
the army here from going to the as
sstance of the Army of the Cumber-
land.

Who is the author of the ensuing lines
They will thrill many heart they hare Thrill
led many heart, now cold in days long gon
by. But who Wrote them' Can any of ou
inform usf
/ often think each tottering form,
That limps along in Life's decline,
Once bore heart as young, as warm,
And full OF ardent thoughts us mine:
And each has had his dream of joy,
His own uncgualled, pure romance,
beginning when the blushing boy
First thrilled at lovely woman's glance.
And each could tell his tale of youth
Would think lis scenes of love evince
More passion, more unearthlv truth,
Than any tale, before or since.
Yes they could tell of tender laws,
AT midnight penned in classic shades:
Of days more bright than modern DAYS,
Of maids more fair than living maids
OF whispers in a willing ear,
OF kisses on a blushing cheek;
Each kiss, each whisper, far too dear
For modern lips to give or speak.
OF prospects, too, uniimely crossed,
OF passion slightcd or betrayed
OF kindred spirits early lost,
And buds that blossomed but to fade:
o. beaming eyes and treSses gay,
Elastic form and noble brow,
And charms-that all have passed away,
And left them-,chdt zee see them Rosv!
And is it thus9 Is Human Love
So very light and fiail thing!
And must Youths brightest visions move
Forever on Time restless wing
Must all the eyes that still are bright,
And all The lips that talk of bliss,
Aud all the forms, SO fair TO sight,
Heleafter only come 10 Gss
Then what are Loves best visions worth,
If we at length must lose them thus :
If all we value most on earth,
Ele long must fade away from usl
If that one being whom we take
From all the world, and still recur
To all she said, and for her sake,
Feel far from joy when far from her:
If that one form which we adore,
From youth to age, in bliss or pain,
Soon withers and is seen no more
Why do we love, ii love be vain!

FROM THE GERMAN OF UPLAND.
Translated by Henry Wads,corh Longfellov
Sweet Sabbath of the year!
Thy evening lights decay:
Thy parting steps methinks Ihear,
Steal from the world away
Amid thy silent bowers
II is sad yet sweet to dwell,
Where falling leaves aud fading flowers
Around us breathe farewell
A deep and crimson streak
The dying leaves disclose;
AS on Consumption's waning cheek,
Mid lain, there blooms the rose.
The scene each vision brings
OF Beauty in decay;
or fair and early-ftding things,
Too exquisite to stay:
OF joys that come no more
OF flowers whose bloom is fled;
Or faewells wept upon the shore
or friends estranged or dead
Of all chat now may seem
To Memory's fearful eve
The vanished rapture of dream,
Ger which we gaze and sigh
