In the dear, dim and droary, vet distant, To Re,
Far beyond tho horizon that circles around
With The clear eyc Of Faith il Is easy to sec.
The sweet hayon where Peace aud Content
ment abound.
The souls high Ideal secure and serene,
Above all the clouds that arise from the Earth ,
Shines out fom the Future aud sheds DER each
OF this wcarsomc life all its wonderful worth.
1t was born in the mystical regions of Ed,
And when reached will appear as a dream Of
the Past,
Or an angel who erst bright carnival held
In the Halls Of Remembrance, too brilliant to
last.
Long ago, in those ages when Heaven was new,
This scraphic Ideal was ono with the soul
But Jove in his envy discovered and threw
To the Earth both the halves--nonc his rage
could control.
So happy and naughty in beauty and power,
So placid and calm in their love hhf-divinc,
This united duality shadowod the hour
When alone the olympian god sought to shine.
And when In his madness the cnvious Jovc,
Thus from each god-likc rival created twain,
lie blindlv 'gainst cdicts immutablc struvc,
For Affinity ruling unites them again.
Far away from the Now, in Paradise lost,
We were ono, Oh thou beautiful spirit and
blest
Yet again ere Existence, broad river, be crossed,
We shall meet, and in meeting lcsc all our un-
rest.
Can It be that thc angel whose weapon of flame,
Drove the happy young pair from the Garden
of God,
Did not know that the path which they entered
in shame
Would lead them to bliss if 'tworc faithfully
trod? . ..H|
The highest desire Of the spirit to-day,
The rosc-tintcd pictures Hope paints as a boon,
Are the aowcrcts thut budded in memory's May,
To be gathered Iull-blossolncd and blooming in
juno.
in the Past we were nnc, Oh thou vision OF bliss,
remember full well every glance of thine eyes,
Every smile as it rippled thy facc--every Kiss,
Which rising in rapture sank softly in signs.
We will be in the future, sweet spirit of light
What We were in tho long vanished ages OF
yorc; 80.
What my Muse in n frenzy hath pictured tonight,
In reality sne, In our love, evcrmore.

Ono OF tho nast horrible deaths possible
for man to meet, 10 awaiting M. Jacob
Shuestsr, farmer near Waupton. in this
county, whp was bitten bY rattleHnake
last Saturday. MIR. Shuestor was in a feld
moving hay, when he came upon the snake,
and il attempted to crawl away. 10 out il
in two with his scytho. and as II still gave
signs of lfc, no, sevsrsd il again within
three inches Of its head. Il then seemed TO
be dead, and he stopped down 70 examine
it's mouth. lilo was approaching its mouth
With his right hand, when the snake spgang
aud fastened itself TO his right thumb. lio
sprang to his feet, aud after several sec
onds succeeded in loosoning it's hold and
iinging it 10 the ground Tho thumb
painod him terribly and ho ran 10 tho
house. 10 Immediately commenced SWELL
ing, and his agony increased. Noighhora
were sent for, who applied remedies Of
which they had heard. Hut they did no
good aud IN ten minutes Mr.. Shuester
commonced vomiting blood, All tho remo-
tios suggested by his noighbors having
failed, they ''doctorod' him until lato Sun
day forenoon, whom Or. Staples Of this city
was sont for. llo arrived at the house, q
distance of twenty miles, Sun lay evening.
llo found Shuoster in horrible state OF
body and mind. His right arm was swollen
W lNul llUlbN llh HhlutNi nisot Nilu Nto 0Nthi-
,H black. This color had reached his
breast, and was spreading over his system.
Below tho elbow the poison had affected tho
arm so that its surface was covered with
largo blIstors, which were filled with blood,
From one of these tho doctor drew nearly
u toa.cup full of blood. Tho palm Of tho
sufferer hand, although callousod by labor,
was pulled out like sugar loaf, and blood
continually flowed from tho wounded
| thumb. His breath was awlully offensive.
Mr.. Shuestcr retains all his senses. Boz
foro he was bitten, ho was large, we'll
built man, and possessed great strength.
He is now haggard, rs whito as q shoet, aud
his eyes ghnStly.
Dir. 3. administered powerful neutrali3lng
medicines, and Mr.. Shucstor felt somewhat
relieved almost Immediately. Tho Doctor
stayed with him all night, and loft him at
ten O'clock yesterday morning, with slight
hopes of his recovery. When tho Doctor
left, Mr.. Shuostor complained Of feeling
which was then coming upon him for tho
first time---a sort Of bonumbing, yot pain
fully tinglng sensation, which affected his
whole body. lilo was alive yesterday
morning that timo wo have not

Tho cholera il on it's travel---that Iicrco

in the East, but salies forth ut pprinlical
intervals to docimate West, North and
South, From time to time we hear of the
visitation in distant places--deaths by
Wholesale in Central ASIA deaths in South

on Indian marshes and rivers phok6d with

Ocean,
The last Red Sea nowa hpnught word

Marseilles has kept all tho mail.boats in

The newspapers and letters Whigl went

All the instances we ennInerate and others
which might be cited, prove that the phol-
era is on its periodical march and, without
ascribing to the same source tho 0utbFeakS
