The Old Church Bell.

1 stand again by the old church door,
A wand rem from the sea, Eeo4
And scan the faces as they pass, 1+ 20
But all are strange to me.
Unknown e'er in my childhood's home.
Grief seems SO hard to bear - er..
ana now the heart wells up its throbs,
As that sound fills the air:
Ihe Old Church Bell-the sound I know
That tells me of the long ago.
Inc tone the same, as when I played. s
In thoughtless hours of youth,
Or when hasted at its cali,
To meet the blue-eyed Ruth: ar
And on that day, when in a grave.
L buried all held dear,
AND left the scene with broken heart. s r-
It's knell still on my ear
Ihe Old Church Bell-it tolled the knelI-
W nen bid love and home farewell
A few short days, and meath the sod,
BY strange hands III be laid: .5 sal
No friendly tears, no fond regrets, u
NO earnest prayers be said
= As fails the clod, I'd have that bell is9R-
Toll out its voice for me- -- 4. ,,, =,
For meas now it brings the past
Back from eternity. 80 "a Gs
The Old Church Bell-whose voice alone 4ef
To me SPEAKS of the loved and gone.

The Dust Covered RjhIa

Some years ago, clergyman in Ireland took
for his text one Sunday moruing, Search the
Scriptures In the C ,urse of his sermon. he
quoted passage from John Wesley, to the ef.
feet that the Bible sometimes bad dust enough
on its cover to write damnation' on it, One
of his hearers was struck by the remark, and ON
her return home repeated it, She was over.
heard by her brother. who had causelesslv
absented himself from church that day. The
startling thought fixed itself In his heart like an
arrow. lie retired to his room, and took down
scarcely knowing what he did, he traced on i
the appalling words Of the preacher
He looked at them, read them again, and.
bursting into tears, flung himself ON his knees,
aud, confesslng his past sins, sought grace that
he might prize it more in the future. The Bible
became his companion, and to his dying hour
ne bore witness TO Its sustaining power, and his
joys in the God it reveals.
See how much came from seemingly random
word, spoken eighty years before. Heavenly

DEATH OB THE CHAMPION MATcHAIAKER. -
John Shelton, better known as Squire Shelton,
died at Aberdeen, Ohio, on Wednesday, aged
about 70 years. Il is said of Squire Shelton
that during the thirty five years be was magi,-
tra'e at Aberdeen he performed the marriage
ceremony for four thousand couples His iame
as a tier OF the knot matrimon extended far
and wide, and the many runaway matches that
found his house a stopping place gave to Aber-
deem the name "Gretna Green of America. y
tie Was never very particular whether or not all
the forms OF law had f'een complied with by
loving hearts, seeming to have adopted as his
rule of action the single one : Love knows 10
law de had performed the ceremony for so
many who were not married in strict acco, dance
with the law, that the Legislature OF Kentucky,
year or two ago, found it necessary to pass a
special act legalizing all his marriages In cases
where time was an ohject, in consequence Of the
close pursuit OF 'senraged parlles, he has been
known to get out of his bed In the middle of the
night, and to save time, actually to perform the
ceremony with no other clothing on than his
shirt Again he has performed the ceremony
from his window, at night, while parties to the
marriage contract were standing in the street in
front of his house.

FLIRTATIoN. The proxmate cause of firta-
ton is said to be wish to please, to be polite,
and to make the party pass off well; but the
primary one is, we fear, nothing but selfish
wish to shine and to attract praise. It may be
all very pleasant, but it is certainly exceedingly
wrong and being wrong, it is stupid and un-
wise. 1t goes against true proprieiy in both
sexes; with a'woman it is uneminine as well as
injudicious; with man il is unmanly. With
only one class.of people can it be excused, and
that class is large one, formed Of those light,
facile, agreeable persons, who have neither rea
heart nor feeling, but who fancy they have

wish to be pleased, and who Autler about from
