The Joys BeS ond.

Humnn lifei Oh! what glorious cheat;
With how much care and sorrow do we meet.
Trials temptations, and a thousand snsres demand
A wakeful vigilance, and a Sayiour's helping hand
Once filed with hope and waiting for the days
Which as we thought would bring us no dismay,
We've now grown wfary of this life Of sin
And long our heavenly joys and glories to begin
Once we loved this fleeting, worldly show,
But now we long to leave the things below.
Life's had for us it's many bitter palms,
But what is now our loss will be our gain
Soon our earthly house of clay shall fall
Our spirit shall return to Him, the God OF all
The future life is all that lures us ON;
iTwere not for this our hope would all be gone,
Heavens gores and its joys inspire with zeal'
These are the only things which 10 us are real.
God grant when done with things of time
The Joys of Heaven may then be thine. W Ii a.

Inscription IN an old beH-

With deep affection
And recollection,
l often think of
Those shandon bells,
Whose tones so wild, would
In days OF childhood,
Fling 'round my cradle
Their magic spells.
On this ponder
Where e'er wander,
And thus grow iOnder,
Sweet Cork, of thee,
With the bells of Shandon
That sound so grand on
The pleasant waters
of the river Lee.

Full many eiila.e iii,
1'olling sublime in
Cathedral shrine
while at glib rate
Brass tongues would vibrAte,
But all their music
Spoke naught like thine
For memory dwelling
On each proud swelling
OF the btllry kneeling
Its bold notes free,
Made the bells of Shandon
Sound far more grand on
The pleasant waters
OF the river Lee.
III.
I've heard bells toll in
Old tAdrain's mole," In
Their thunder rolling
From the Vatican,
And cymbals glorious
swinging uproarious
lii the gorgeous turretS
of the Notre Dame
But the sounds were sweeter
Than the dome of Peter
filings on the Tber,
Peallng solemnly;
OF the bells Of ShandOn
Sound far more grand On
The pleasant waters

There's bell in Moscow
While ia tower and kiosk Oh
In Saint Sophia
The Turkman gets,
And loud in air
Calls men to prayer
From the tapering submits

Such empty phantom

But there's an anthem
More dear to me
,Tis the bells of Shandon
Tint sound so grand on
The pleasant waters
Of the river Lee.

A SUNDAY AT ARYONlA.

EpIToR NEWS: had the pleasure last
Sabbath (the 18th) of spending the day
at Arvonia, the new Welsh colony. I
had heard of this settlement and was
led by curiosity and perhaps thoughts,
of interest to. visit 1t. The result of the
last three months labor greatly sur
prised me, the people having at this
time furnished themselves with good
houses and formed an efficient church
organization. .s' ai.1s lte r.ff,s
The Rev. Thomas w Jones, of Chica-
90, preached in the morning on 'iYThe
Substance aud Evidence of things un-
seen"--and in the evening on 1.-THE
good and evil influences consequent OIL
a state of Society.
This last discourse, though il would
do much good if preached in any COM
muiiity, was peculiarly adapted to a
new town like this.
The hall on both occasions was well
tive an audiences as any community can
afford, and though the preaching was in
English, so full was. the speaker, of
Welsh eloquence and fire that the peo-
pie enjoyed it as much as if it had been
in their own language. - ''# +" 'fs
The services throughout were earnest
and inspiring, and could not help
but think that with such settlements
there is hope for Kansas and the West.
Nor should Emporia or any other
town regard Aryopia, except in the most
friendly light, for surely such a settle
ment as this cannot fail TO be of i'm
mense advantage every way to Emporia
and the neighboring towns. -
A little incident occurred in the even
ing which is worthy of note. After the
evening services. a man crossed the
Marias. DIES sCygnes on horse back,
bringing the news that fourteen persons
were on the other side of the river, but
were unable to cross as the stream was
too high. Upon hearing this twenty
seven persons went to the opposite
bank of the river to cheer them with
their songs. Mr.. Davies, well known
as Welsh Poet, commenced singing n
song, having great inspiration, l under
stand, for the Welsh, entitled ''Hen
JFldd ~ Nhddaw-, or in English, "The
Old Country of our Fathers, when,
after the solo part, most all broke into
a soul inspiring chorus, making the
neighboring hills echo back the melody
of sweet voices-brineing, doubtless, to
every Welshman's heart, thoughts of
the land of song and poetry from
whence he came. Even poor music In
the stiffness of the night, is beautiful,
so you can imagine the effect when over
Il score of well trained voices united in
a nationalhymn. Indeed never heard
so many really fine singers in proper
ton to the population as here.
After singing a number of religious
hymns, in the spirit of which 1 could
join, if not in the words, the party
broke up with a hearty Praise God

The Republic1n's Washington special
says prominent Virginians, temporarily
in this city. state that there is great
dissatisfaction among the voters of the
State, at the course of Gen. CARLY, in
regard to the result of the late election.
They claim that they have complied
with all the requirements of the Recon-
structiOn acts, as set forth in the Proc
lamation of the President, ordering the
Constitution to be submitted to the
people for their ratification or rejection,
and say that the majority of the voters
of the State, most of whom sacrificed
personal considerations and petty pref
udices for the sake of facilitating adj
mission into the Uuion of the States
on a sound reconstruction basis, arc
commencing to fear that cold water is
to be thrown on their efforts.
As for the rumor that Gen. Candy
intends to order new election in GER
tain counties where members cannot
take the iron-clad oath, prominent Vir-
ginians claim that such course would
only bring about more overwhelming
conservative majorities i'll these locali-
ties than heretofore.
