Blurs all the lamps along the quay;
The windows shake; the busy street
ls yet alive with huTrying feet.
The winds rave from the sea
So let it rave My lamp burns bright;

OF al the nights in the year, tonight
choose to be alone.
Alone, with doors and windows fast.

Alas J can twelve long months be past,
My hidden, hidden wealth, since last

So there it lies From year to year
i see the ribbon change: the page
Turn yellOwer; and the very tear
That blots the writing, disappear
And fade away with age
Mine eyes grow dim when they behold
The precious trihes hoarf5d there
A ring of battered Indian gold,
A withered haTebell, and a fold
OF sunny chesnut hair.
Not all the riches of the earth,
Not all the treasures of the sea,
Gould buy these house.gods from my he
And yet the secret of their worth
Must live and die with me.

sources sufficient To buy his daily bread. His
musical talents had been hiPbiv cultivated, but
az he never needed them he scarcely knew TO
what degree they could be made available. In
his distress, however, he wrote this charming
song, Ever Of Thee" A London publisher gave
him one hundred dollars for it, but that amount
with such spendthrift would not last long. He
wrote other songs, but the money not coming as
fast as he wished, in a weak moment he forged
the name OF his publisher, and although every
effort was made (even by the publisher) to save
him, 1t was all no use, and poor Foley Hall went

RELIGIOUS MATTERs.-St. L1tkes p. r.
CdWch-On last Sunday the Rev. NJ. A. De
Wolfe Howe, ID. D., entered upon the twenty
iirst year oil his ministrations as rector of this
church. In his mornings discourse he took
occasion to review the history OF st. Luke's,
rom ITS organization to the present time. He
reterred TO its mission church, in Lombard
street, above Eleventh, and said thai thus
lie also spoke Of the gratifying success
attending the parochial school, the Widows
Home, the Sunday schools and other
charities connected with the Church. Since
Dr. Bowe has been ministerng at st.
Lukes, the sum of Sl536O has been distributed
in various charities. The church has steadily
advanced. It's members and the congregation
have increased until now there is not pew to
rent, and an enlargement OF the edi6ce is in con-
temptation. This exhibit must be truly crafty
ing TO DR.. Howe and the people among whom
he has so long labOred, and by whom he is 80
universally beloved Few churches in the city
have evnCed more energy or devotion in the
cause Of the Great Master, and few pastors have
labored with more zeal and Christian earnest.
ness than DR.. Howe.
A Good Appoiniment.- Arthur A. Messiter,
formerly organist at st. Paul's Protestant Epis-
copal church in this city, has Just received the
appointment as oTganist and choir-master at
Trinity church, New York. The appointment
thus made Is a good one, and certainly reflects
credit on the judgment of those whose duty il
was to fll the position. Trinity is one of the
most celebrated churches of this denomination
in the United States, and is sure to be visited by
strangers of a religious tendency who may
soiourn in that city over Sunday.

THE JEWISH PENTECosT. : While the
lsraelites of old inhabited the land which Pro
vidence had bestowed upon them, they were
commanded that their small population should
appear before the Lord in the place consecrated
and set apart to His worship at certain seasons
three times in every year. The times OF
their so appearing were fixed at the three
great national testivals-The Passover, COM
memorating their liberation from the Egyptian
bondage; Pentecost or the feast of weeks,
festival instituted to commemorate their being
constituted as a nation and appointed to be the
peculiar and chosen people Of God; and thirdly,
the Feast of Tabernacles, to commemorate their
peaceful enjoyment of the promised land and
to express their lgratitude at the fulness and
abundance OF Divine bounty, which poured forth
its blessings over them.
The second of these festivals, also known as
the Feast of Shebuoth, Will be inaugurated at
sundown this day, its observance extending
throughout Sunday and Monday, when at even
tide the feast will be at an end.
In obedience to these commands the festival
is observed with great strictness throughout the
word. The synagOgues in this city and else
where are decorated with flowers, and are un-
usually well attended by their respective con-
gregations. All business is suspended, and
worldly affairs are uncared for from sundown
tonight until eventide on Monday. The services
performed 40 not differ essentially from those
held on most holy days, and are, as usual ex-
tremely interesting to witness.
