THE CERTAINTY OF DEATH.

Death certainl All nature proclaims it so.-
What means the falling leaf? that withering
plant? that fading flower? the downfall of that
mighty forest oak, which has withstood the blast
of an hundred winters? What means that pale
cheek2 that languid eyer that emaciated form?
those locks of silver white? Tell ma if these
things betoken not disease, decay, deathl The
experience of the world confirms the same sad
truth. Go ask past ages, where are the teeming
millions which have peopled our globe from its
creation down to the present generationl and
the response is echoed back from thousand
lonely sepulehres In the cold and silent tomb.
Our fathers, whore are they? And the prophets,
do they live foreverH They sleep beneath the
iclods of the valley. Inspiration, too, gives its
estimony-testimony not merely circuInstantial
but positive-in favor of the same solemn truth.
1Dust thou art and unto dust shalt thou return.'
"Man dieth and wasteth away, yea, man riveth
up the ghost and where is he?" Such is the ex-
plieit language of the spirit of God with regard
to that event which must happen TO ALL

MANS INTmORTALITy.

One of the sweetest sonnets of the soul is that
of Immortality. This discordant tune of pain
and fear, of griefs and grones and heavy cares.
is not able to drown 1t. IT is heard in clear full
notes, high and deep toned. above the clamors
of passion. 1t rises from every key of the soul,
soundmg'a complete volume throughout the in
ner temple, with strains like these: "Soul, thou
art born for eternity Thou livest forever. Man.
thou shalt never diel-thou art blooming now
for Immortality" Death is but the breaking of
this mortal shell by the struggle of the soul for
the life of interruption. The soul, if washed in
blood divine, escaping from its mortal wreck and
the woful shades of sin, win as naturally fiy to
God for heaven as the freed bird to her mountain.
To make arrangements on which to rest faith in
the souls immortality is uncalled for when such
faith has for it's basis persuasion in every SOUL
a conscious existence of knowledge, feeling
thinking, remembering, choosing and loving,
and that too without Interruption either from
matter or death.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-The Helena CORES
pendent Of the Missouri Democrat, under date
OF the Sd, says On the I'd of February,
by order of Gen. Grant, Gen. German with
about five hundred men moved down the va
zoo Pass, which is about six miles below He
lena and near Delta, on the Mississippi side.
After removing some drift and large trees
they succeeded in landing their boats at the
levee.
The levee is built across the bayou or pass
leading from the Mississippi into cold water
about fifteen miles above its mouth. The wa
ter south of the levee is about ten feet below
water level of the Mississippi at its present
stage, consequently the destruction of the
levee at this point will at once result in the
overflow of the country for fifty miles in eve
ry direction, and open navigable channel for
ordinary boats to the cold water thence to the
Tullahachie and to the Yazoo
The troops were busily employed in cutting
the levee all day yesterday, and the water will
be let in to- morrow. A navigable channel
will thus be opened to the rear of Vicks burg,
in direction which is not fortified by the
rebels; and can see nothing to prevent our
mosquito fleet from moving Immediately into
1azoo and taking possession of the steamers
that run the river. Moreover, formidable
army threatening the rebels at Vicksburg from
this direction must strike terror to their hearts
and result in their final discontinue and over
throw.
Gen. Sherman arrived in Washington yes
terday from Vicksburg. An officer of Gen.
Grants army, who has arrived here, reports
our forces in full strength around Vicksburg,
and the work on the canal is making satsfac-
tory headway. The new channel has six feet
