A Greater than Solomon.

The cedar palace has long since yielded to
the torch OF the spoller but the home which
Jesus ha' prepared for his disciples is a house
not made with hands, eternal in the heavens
Ihorns and thlstles choke the garden OF Epgedi
and the moon Is no longer mirrored In the fish
ponds OF Heshbon; but no briar grows in the
paradi above, and nothing will ever choke or
narrow that fountain whence life leaps in full
ness, or stagnate that still expanse where the
GOOD Shepherd leads his flock at glory s noon.
Aud Solomon-the splendor of his age-his
grave is With us at this day !; his flesh has seen
corruption and he must hear the voice of the
Son of man, and come forth to the great ac-
count; but Jesus saw no corruption, Him hath
God raised up, and made Prince and Say
lour; aud hath given him authority to execute
Judgment, because he is the Son of man. And
reverting to the alusion of our outset-Solo-
nion efioresced trom his country Golden Age
"a greater than Solomon appeared when mlry
clay was mixing with its Age of Iron. Solomon
was, SO to speak, an effuslon of his age as well
as Its brightest ornament; the Son OF Mary was
an advent and all allen-a Star come down to
blossom on brIar- -bush-a root of Deity. from
our earth dry ground. But though it was the
Hebrew w1nter when he came, he did not fail
nor wax discouraged. He taught, he lived he
fulfilled all rlghteousness-he loved, he died.

Love and Murder
Lady Killed by Her Lover-A Double Fatal
nua

The steamer Richmond which passed up
from New Orleans yesterday, learned at Grand
Gulf the particulars Of one of those tragedies OF
pa sion that appear more like romance than
reality La the country, al some distance from
Grand Gulf, reside two respectable families,
those of Gushing and Andrews. Miss Andrews
was lovely gri of seventeen, well accomplish
ed, and of unusually fascinating manners. Mr..
Cushing s son. youth OF twenty, had been at
tached to her from their early childhood, and
as he grew older his affeclion became an alb
sorbing passion. A short time ago he made a
formal offer Of his hand, when, to his intense
disappointment and modification, his offer was
firully, though courteously, refused. He brood
ed over his ill-rew arded passion, and became a
prey to jealousy, and at length left the neigh
boshood.
On Sunday last he returned, and riding up
to Mr.. Andrews's house, he begged to see Miss
Andrews a, the door, without allghting She
came out, when he suddenly produced pistol,

the latter was crossing creek, and fired at him.
Gushing jumped from his horse aud took shell

advantage, did the same A parley ensued,
and the two young men agreed to fight accord

king Is angry.
The first of his friends Immediately excused
himself, saying he could not go with him ON ac-
count of their business.
The second accompanied him to the door of
the Judgment hail, then turned away aud went
back fearing the anger of the judge
The tnlid, upon whom he had reckoned the
least. went in, spoke for him, and so oyfuIly
bore testimony to his innocence, that the judge
released hun and sent him away
Three friends has man in this world, and
how do they bear themselves toward him 10 the
hour of death, when God summons him before
his Judgment seat? Wealth, his most cherish
ed friend, first iorsakes him and goes with him.
HIS retaticts and friends accompany him to the
portals OF the grave, and turn back again to
their dwellings, The third, that which In life
was most frequently forgotten, is his good
aoorks. They alone accompany him to the
throne Of the Judge; they go BEFORE speak in
his BEHALF and find mercy.

POETRY.
[From the New York Ledger.l
TO EMMA.
BY GEORGE D. PRENTICE.

Young wanderer from Southern cline,
Forgive, pray, this humble rhyme,
nhat welcomes thee, with heartfelt tone,
70 colder skies than thou hast known
May love and hope and joy enfold
my young form like a mist of gold;
And may no Northern blast have power
10 chill the tender Southern flower.
All, Emma, Time has set his sign
" gray on these thin locks of NINE
ct thy dear memory will remain
A thing OF beauty in my brain.
Twill be as if lake, unstirred,
Z Should catch the shadow of a bird,
And the sweet image still should stay
When the bright bird had passed away.
Oh, Emma, thou art wondrous fair.
"A new moon waxing in the air;
The love-star, with a tender beam,
lowering above it like dream
love to muse in reverie,
On what thou art, what thou wilt be;
And hang with Fancy magic art,
The angel picture in my heart.
The gentle swat. that oars his way
Upon the waters of the bay;
The cloud that seems to move in sleep
Upon the blue and upper deep;
The slender willow 1.-THE and frail,
That sways before the singing gale,
Are embiems of the grace that dwells
In all thou art young queen of bellies.
Time passes on, but may st thou live
To share each good that life can give;
May every year upon thee fling
Rich blessings from It's dewy wing;
May gentle lovers round thee throng,
With smile and sigh and VOW and song,
And all thy life, with tears unwet,
Be sweet song to music set.
But ah ii may be thou wilt not
Escape dear woman 5 common lot;
Each lovely rose that now adorns
Thy path, may tear thee with Its thorns;
Each fount that wOns thee now to lave
Thy red lip in its cooling wave,
May shrink away from thy embrace
And leave but dust within its place.
Well, if it must be so-if Fate
Shall make thee sad and d,solate--
If all the stars thai o. er thee burn
Shall into lurid darkness turn
If every cloud, now white shall hold
The lightnings in its darkening fold,
Then, then, oh ioveiest one, be strong
To battle with the cruel wrong.
Or Der earth's atmosphere to fly,
And wander in the open sky,
And see in doubt and darkness hurled
The wild confusions of the world.

THE SOCIETY OF WoMEN.-One of the great
benefits young man may derive from womans
society is that he is bound to be respectful to
them The habit is of great good to your NOR
al man, depend upon it. Our education makes
of us the most eminently selfish men in the
world. We fight for ourselves; we push for
ourselves we cut the best slices out of the joint
at club dinners for ourselves; we yawn for our
selves, and light our pipes and say we won t
go out we prefer ou:sel es and our ease ; and
the greatest good that comes to man from wo-
man S society is that he has to think of some
body besides himself somebody to whom he is
bound to be constantly attentive and respectful
Certainly don t want my dear Bob to associ-
ate with those Of ;he other sex whom he
doesn't and can respect; that is worse than
biards-worse than tavern brandy and wa
ter-worse than smoking selfishness at home.-
