Abou Rem Adhem.

Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe inereaseD
Awoke one night from deep dream Of peace,
And saw within the moonlight in his room,
Making it rich, and like a lilly in bloom,
An angel writing in book of gold:
Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold,
And to the Presence in the room he sail,
"What writest thou?' The vision raised its head,
And, with look made of all sweet accord,
Answered-''The names of those who love the
Lord"
"And is mine ones ?" said Abou. "Nay, not So"
Replied the angel. Abpu spoke more low,
hui cheerily still; and said al pray theeithen,
Write me as one that 10 YES his fellow-men"
The angel wrote, and vanished The next night
II came again, with great Weakening light
And showed the names whom love OF God mad
blessed;
And 10 Ben Adhem's name led all the restt

with You in styling it the worst
and, most culpable that ever took
place on earth. / greatly feary
TOO, that it win in its ultimate
consequences, prove most the dis
astrous one thateve occurred to
the principles of constitutional
liberty, Our Constitution, rs
made BY the fathers, was one Of
the most wonderful political
achievements eyer attained, BY
genius aud patriotism. Had its
principles been adhered to, lthis
late terrible war never woul6 have
occurred, and the only hope now
for the present and the future of
the country is to bring back tho
Federal administration tothe true
principles of tho Constitution
This can be done by "a yfftueas,
intelligent, and patriotic people.
When bad men conspire to impose
their isurpations @outsidea the
Constitution. good men every
where must combine to keep all
such men out of power. This can
only be done. BY the publicationlof
truths and by awaking in the
| minds, of the people the sense Of
the dangers which threaten them,
and arousin . them to reaetion
before it is too late. The only
proper remedy for all existing
evils and the greater ones which
appear In the future is at the ballot
box.
The great object with me in the
remnant of mydaysis Co do all in
my power toward the incubation
OF such truths and principles as
are essential for the maintenance
of our institutions as handed
down from the fathers. 10 this
course the future of my life Is de-
voted. And Notwithstanding all
that is said and has been said
about the rebellion and the disloy
atty of the rebels, Sc, Iknow Of

FouR Impossible THrNas..--

Four IMPOSSIBLE THIKGs.---
First, to escape trouble by run
ming away from duty. Jonah
once made the experiment, but he
soon found himself where all his
imitators will, in the end find
themselves. Therefore, manfully
meet and overcome the difficulties
and trials to which the post as
signed you by Gods providence
exposes you. aAt'ts s8ssRil e'f7
Second to become a christian
Of strength and maturity without
! undergoing severe trials. What
fire is to gold, that is afflicticn to
the believer. It burns nls the
,dross and makes the gold shine
forth with unalloyed luster.
Third, to form an independent
character, except when thrown on
their own resources. The oak. in

The Berlin FremdenbLatt is responsible for
the following curious story:
"Von L., formerly Mecklenburg Minister of
Finance died not long ago in Wiesbaden. leav-
ing no direct descendants, his wealth going to
lot OF unthahkiul relatives. The Grand Dul,e
OF Mecklenburg sent some persons to look after
the transportation of the corpse to the family
vault in blessed MeckIenburg; and on its
arrival at the family mansion it was there
placed in state, and on the day appointed for
burial the residents OF the estate all assembled
to pay the last homage to their old lord, and
number OF persons were allotted the task of
bearing the coffin to the vault. The latter,
however, as soon as they stood by the side of
the coffin, reused, as with one tongue. to
move 1t, saying: Nay, we will first know who
hes in the coffin Remonstrance was vain.
Nay, tnat Is not our master,' they said: She
was much larger
FINALLY the coffin had TO be opened then
and there, and behold, il was found to con-
tain not the old Finance Minister. but an
aged and unknown lady. OF course astonish-
ment III such case was natural, and the Gu
nous transformation case was Immediately in
quired into. 1t appears that the old GENTLE
man and wealthy Russian lady landowner
died at Niesbaden ON the same day. and. both
beng sent home Tor burial, by some nexpli-
cable error the good old MeckIenburg Finance
Minister was shipped off to the interior of
Russia somewhere, and the Russian lady az
rived at Meckienburg, and would have been
bur'ed there but for the acuteness of the
peasants. AT first Won LIS relatives wanted
to keep the matter quiet, and just inter the old
lazy IN Won LIS family vault, but no, the old
gent emans retainers said: The strange
woman-being shall not be buried in our mas
ters vault Nor was she. Whether the
Meckenburg Finance Minister has been
buried with all the pomp of Russian cultus
has not yet been ascertaIned. II so, as every
Protestant Mecklenburger is downright
heather IN orthodox Russian eyes, he will
have to be dlsnterred and removed to his own
home"
