Communion Hymn.

BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
''This do in remembrance of me-"
All praise to him of Nazareth,
The Holy one who came,
For love of man, to die death
Ofagony and shame.
Dark was the grave; but since he lay
Within its dreary cell,
The beams of heavens eternal day
Upon its threshold dwell.
He grasped the iron veil, he drew
Its gloomy folds aside,
And opened to his followers view,
The glorious world they hide.
In tender memory of his grave
The mystic bread we take,
And muse upon the life he gave
So freely for our sake.
A boundless love he bore mankind;
0, may at least part
Of that strong love descend and find
A place in every heart.

FACTS WORTH REMENIBERING.-A CORE.
spondent gives the following facts worth re-
membering:
It is worth while for all farmers everywhere
to remember that thorough culture is better
than three mortgages on their farms.
That an offensive war against weeds is five
times less expensive than a defensive one.
That good fences will always pay better than
lawsuits with neighbors.
That hay is great deal cheaper ma de in the
summer than purchased in the winter.
That horse who lays his ears back and looks
lightning when any one approaches him, is
vicious. Don't buy aim.
That serlmping the feed of fattening hogs is
a waste Of grain.
That over-fed fowls won't lay eggs.
That educating children is money lent at a
hundred per cent
That one evening spent at home in study is
more profitable than ten in lounging about coun-
try taverns.
That COWS should always be MIXED regularly
and clean.
That it is the duty Of every man to take some
good, reliable, entertaining paper, and pay fol
it properly-of course.

One pleasant afternoon lady was sitting with
her son, white haired boy five years of age.
The mother was sick, and the little child had
lett his play to stay with her, and was amusing
himself in printing his name with pencil on
paper.
Suddenly his busy fingers stopped. He had
made mistake, and wetting his fingers, he tried
again and again to rub out the marks, as he had
been accustomed to do on his slate.
My son, said his mother, do you know
that God writes down all you do in book? He
writes every naughty word, every disobedient
act every time you indulge In temper and shake
your shoulders, or pout your lips; and, my boy,
you can never rub it out"
The little boy IS face grew very red, and in a
moment tears ran down his cheeks. His moth
er's eye was on him earnestly but she said not
thing more. At length he came softly to her
side, threw his arms around her neck, and whis-
pered, Can the blood of Jesus rub it out ?"
Dear children, Christ's blood can rub out the
evil you have done, and it is the only thing in
the universe that can do it. 1.-The blood of Jesus
Christ, his son, cleanseth US from all SIM

Access TO God.

However deep the midnight moment when
you find yourself in the sudden arms of death,
the winged prayer can bring an instant Savior
And this wherever you are. 1t needs not that
you ascend somesspecial Pisgah or Moriah 1t
needs not that you should enter some awful
shrine, or pull ofyour shoes on some holy ground.
Could a memento be reared on every spot from
which an acceptable prayer has passed away, and
on which prompt answer has come down, we
should lind Jehovah shamma ''the Lord hath
been here, inscribed on many cottage hearth
and many dungeon floor
We should find it not only In Jerusalem's
proud temple and David's cedar galleries. but
IN the fsherman's cottage by the brink of the
Gennesaret, and in the upper chamber where
Pentecost began. And whether it be in the
field where Isaac went to mediate, or the rocky
well where Jacob lay down to sleep, or the brook
where Israel wrestled, or the den where Daniel
gazed on him, or the hillside where the man of
sorrows prayed all night, we should still discern
the ladders feet let down from heaven-the
landing place of mercies, because the starting
place Of prayer. And all this, whatsoever you
are.
1t needs no saint, no proficient in piety, no
adept in eloquent language, no divinity of earth
ly rank 1t needs but simple Hannah or a
llsplng Samuel. 1t needs but blind beggar or
| loathsome lazar. 1t needs but penitent
publican or dying thief And it needs no sharp
ordeal, no costly passport, no painful expiation,
| to bring you to the mercy seat; or rather, /
should say, 1T needs the costliest of all but the
| blood OF the atonement, the Savior merit, the
name OF Jesus, priceless as they are, cost the
sinner nothing They are freely put at his dis
posal, and instantly and constantly he may use
them. This access to God in every place. at
every moment, without any personal merit, is
it not a privilege?

Last night, there occurred in this city, one of
those incidents which occasionally happen to
cheer unfortunate humanity in this vale of fears,
and serve to support it, even under the most
dire infirmities Little Susan Brill daughter
of Mr.. Lewis Brill, who was severely burned on
Thursday, the 18th Of last january, at Mr.. AL
len G. Harmon's, laid at that gentleman's resi-
dence for seven long weeks, suffering, though
tended with the most assiduous care, untold
miseres. Last night at one o'clock she family
called to one Of the attendants, several of whom
were In her room, and who listened and heard
distinctly what she said, and asked to be dress
ed, and that her clothing should all be of white,
for that she saw innumerable angels, children
of her own age, robed in garments of snowy
whiteness, floating in the air, who told her that
she must be dressed like them, and join them
in an hours time, and that she had promised to
do so. At two o'clock she died. and the sweet
smile on her face, as she peacefully breathed
her last, was happy assurance to her watching
friends that her promise was fulfilled. .-AIer.

MASSACHUSETTS, Morals.

The people of Massachusetts are, indeed, an
extraordinary people. When compared with
them, all other nations have no idiosyncracies.
Having been thoroughly imbued with the
idea that men shall not live by bread alone,
they devote themselves to the acquisition of
mental food and drink, in opposition to the
physical.
The State has undertaken to be the Mentor
Of the morals of the people. With the old
Puritan intolerance, they have forbidden the
smoking of cigar. By recent act of the
Legislature, the sale of Intoxicating drinks is
forbidden. And thus, having set an example
to high-toned morality in the physical way,
Massachusetts, deliberately opens her public
libraries on the Sabbath and let's in flood of
girls and boys, who spend the day of rest in
reading trashy works of6ction. One is cater
ing to the mental, the other denying to the
physical appetite. We think it would be bet
Ter TO let her citizens smoke, and keep her
libraries closed on the Sabbath

MONTREAL May 25-The Canadian Confede-

Queen Victoria at Windsor Castle, London, yes
lerdaY. BY virtue of the royal sign manual the
dominion of Canada comes into existence
on the lst of July next. list of the
members OF the Canadian Senate appointed
under the act, by the Queen, is published
today. Sixteen OF the old members have been
left off the roll
The following are the names of the Senators:

Mir. Letellier is the only reform man among
them, he being Rouge. Perhaps Dumouchel
is another.
We have already a rather melancholy exam
pie of the effects of this canvass about royalty,
domini, II, and so forth. A respectable gentle
man of this city has become slightly crazed,
laboTing under the delusion that the Queen of
Great Britain is his aunt, and that his mother.
by some trick of law, swindled him out of
right to the possession of Buckingham Palace.
GOaded by his imaginary loss, he made an at.
tempt to- murder his mother yesterday.
jeff Davis remains very quiet, and was not
out at the volunteer review yesterday. There
were five thousand volunteers present.
There is not the slightest Fenian excitement

Release of Colonel Hayes.

WE are most happy to be able to chronicle the
pardon of Colonel John L. Hayes, Editor of
the Savannah Republican, who was convicted
some months since of libelling a Rebel post
master, and sentenced to fine of $1,000. In
case of his refusal to pay the fine, he was to
be imprisoned until he did. Colonel Hayes,
deeming it an outrage, and finding that his
finances could not successfully Withstand such
drain on his nearly exhausted treasury, re-
fused to comply, and has been for three
months incarcerated in Jail. From his prison
he is released by the pardon of Governor Jen-
kins. Hayes is the only loyal editor in
Georgia, is a consistent friend of the
radical party, and has been boldly fighting for
its principles both during and since the war.
He is well known to many of our citizens, all
of whom will feel rejoiced to hear of his re-
