HALLE COUNTS BYRD.s
Asectsoaasssy Dedicated TO her Widowed Aosas
BY FLORENCE LEsLIEs

Gone to the early tomb,
A voice of gladness. whose sweet sunny mirth,
A gentle face. whose fair auroral bloom
Beside the household hearth
But yesterday with ali their cherished light
Made life SO bright.
How many flowers fair,
OF joy and hope so late in brightest trust,
Now withered, lie beneath the shadows drear
That veil thy sleeping dust
Whose sad, untimely fate can but weep
With sorrow deep.
For surely He who shared
And wept, in plying love DER others woe,
Shall not, for one so lovingly endeared,
Condemn the tears that flow
From natures deep, involuntary grief
To give relief.
Yet ours alone the loss,
For thou art blest where thy ife's fair spring
Ere yet alleged by earthly blight and dross
HATH flown on angel wing,
And unto bliss unchanging been allied
Thou glorihed
And thou, fond mother, thou
So oft beneath the dark, mysterious reign
Of fiery Affections called to bow
For thee alas again,
All, what is left.
All, all in strength awake,
The promise and the Promiser remain
As ever taithful-I will ne'er forsake,
But comfort and sustain
The humble spirit that with woe opprest-
On Christ doth rest.
Oh, but for this, and thy
T xUordS dear child GIaSuS for sinners died ~
And can trust Him now in peace to die
Fen while the living tide
Closer enwrapped around thy sinking frame
Its shroud of flame.
Nature frail nature crushed
Beneath the gathered weight of this deep woe
Could but rebel-nor feel, with spirit hushed,
AS now, the Chastener's blow
Was but the Atoner's too, in plying love
To guide above.
Rejoice We ransomed blest,
On earth, in Heaven above, and tremble hell,
For over deaths most terrible behest
And sorrows wave most fell,
Faiths glorious victory is once more complete
AT Jesus feet.

THE SEA OF LIFE.
BY THE REV. J. NJ. PUGH, A. M, OF THE MIS-
sIsslPPI CONFERENCE.

The wide sea of life,
With tumult and strife,
Is rolling its surges before us;
The high crested wave
The storm we must brave,
Or the tears of our loved ones deplore us.
Full many wreck
Its coral beds deck,
Or is strewn on the desolate shore;
Deep fathoms beneath
The cold wave of death
Lie the forms of many gone before.
o, why do they sleep,
In oblivion deep
Mid the caves of fathomless sea,
When still they might brave
The storm-rolling wave.
With the songs of the joyous and free?
While on the sea tossed,
Their compass was lost,
With the chart of the waters so wide;
Nopilot was there,
That could for them care:
They were wrecked on the boisterOus tide.
o, why did they sail
In V ssel SO frai,
Where thousands had persisted beforer
They had not the guide,
O'er the dangerous tide,
Who could lead them in safety to shore.
The shadows of night,
With no silvery light,
With mantle of mist viii becloud us;
The lightnings will flash, t....
The storm winds will dash
Through the darkness which then will enshroud III
O. how shall We brave II l
The dark crested wave,
And be safely conducted to shore,
While perils so great,
MAY seal the sad fate,
OF the forms that will rise never more?
While on the broad sea,
The Bible will be
The sole chart that will guide us to land;
We never will fail,
Though roughly we sail,
With the Saviour on board to command.
When out on the sea,
All boundless and free,
Well never for moment despair;
Though dark be the storm,
The Saviour's calm form
Will be seen ON the mountain-waye there,
o. let the storms rise,
And darken our skies,
While we sail to the far distant shore,
The star of the bles.
"the brightest and best"
| Will dispel the dark gloom evermore.

AS rummag'd through the attic,
Listening to the falling rain,
AS it patter'd on the shingles,
And against the window pane;
Peeping over chests and boxes,
Which with dust were thickly spread,
Saw / in the farthest corner
What was once my trundle bed.
So drew it from the recess,
Where it had remained SO long,
Hearing all the while the music
of my mothers voice in song,
As she sang in sweetest accents,
What since have often read
ssHush my dear. lie still and slumber,
Holy angels guard thy bed"
AS listen'd, recollections,
That thought had been forgot,
Came with all the gush of mem'ry,
Rushing, thronging to the spot.
And wandered back to childhood,
To those merry days of yore,
when knelt beside my mother.
By this bed upon the floor.
There it was, with hands so gently
Placed upon my infant head,
That she taught my lips to utter
Carefully the words she said:
Never can they be forgotten.
Deep are they in mem'ry riven-

Long has moulder'd meath the sod,
And I trust her sainted spirit

But that scene at summer twilight,

And it comes in all its freshness
When see my trundle bed.
This she taught me, then she told me
of its import, great and deep

SPECIAL NOTICES.

ERIE RAILwAf.-1n our columns to-
day will be found the new Time Table of
this road, which took effect on the 18th inst.
Several important changes have been made
with which all our readers should become
familiarized. The Ere Railway has long
held leading position in the great chain of
roads uniting the West with the East, which
is not alone attributable to the superior nc
commodations afforded passengers, the uni
form civility of its officers and agents, the
grandeur and sublimity of the section of
country which it traverses, but to the great
vigilance exercised in the running of trains
and providing against accidents
Despite the closest scrutiny and circum-
spection, however, all great and important
thoroughfares are liable to accidents. In
the case of the recent accident near Cars
Rock, no human prescience could have avert
ed the sad catastrophe. For four years prior
to its occurrence not single passenger was
injured on this road; and it is generally adj
mitted that no Line went into the past win
ter in better condition, in all respects than
the Erie but so unusually long and severe
was the WlnIeT, IL1l Tue IRON III SoAS parts
of the road yielded to its rigid severity
Yet at this time the road is in as perfect a
condition, as the average of those in the
country. To render it safe beyond a ques-
ton however, the company is substituting
steel rails as fast as possible for the defec-
tive iron ones; laying double track on the
Delaware division, and doing everything TO
place the road in the most thorough condi-
ton. The 100000 which the Company
recently came into the possession of will en-
able all of these improvements to be made.
AS showing one of the most prominent
achievements already secured by the work
which is being pushed rapidly forward, we
might mention the fact that the trains at
present experience no detention, but arrive
at New York and the principal Eastern cit
les at the same hour as rival lines
The Erie continues to issue through tick
cts to New York at So As less than any other
route-a fact which our readers will do we'll
to bear in mind, when visiting the East
either on business or for pleasure.
