illegal Marriages.

There is, we heard an eminent LAWYER al
lege few days since, no marriage legal
which is celebrated on the SABBATH day.
There are, no doubt, twenty thousand cou-
pies IN this State alone for whom the mar
rage cermony was performed on the
Sabbath-many of them in the evening of
that day. A note drawn and sighed on
the Sabbath is Illegal, or any other legal
agreement between parties.
Marriage is legal contract, which, if
performed out Of the legal time, necessarily
must be void; and, claiming this, the sons
and daughters of recently deceased mill
ionaive mean to contest his will, because
in that large portion of his estate was
willed to the children of their stepmother,
who was welded to their father on the
Sabbath, in a church in the city of Roches-
ter, in this State

such marriages are illegal. another long cat

falls out again without flowing out
of its basin. This is charac-
teristic of many Of the springs; they fill
the reservoir, which they have made, and,
having seen the sunlight and tasted the air,
return to the DIRK and hot regions whence
they came. Another peculiarly is the va
riety of substances found within small
compass. In one spot there are three
springs within as many yards; one con-
! tains alum. the next iron and the third
deposit white sulphur. Where some
/ springs have been il the past are now
small chambers, whose sides, floors and
ceilings are incrusted with salts, sulphur
and acids of the most varied and charming
colors.
Thus may be seen sulphur, yellow and
white, in glistening crystals; white alum.
green copperas, blue cobalt all interrnin-
gled in fantastic forms, draping and car
peting these fairy grottos. 1t is impossi-
bic in any word painting to conceive an
idea of this canon which the eye takes in
almost one glance. If you can fancy val
ley about half mile long, in whose bosom
hot-spring leaps from every rock; whose
precipitous sides have been barred of all
vegetation, and heated to white heat,
until rock, hard as granite, has become
heap Of ashes; and can imagine
tartarean fires kindled from beneath
by active supernal agents, who
are also employed IL pouring out their in
fernal mixtures Oh the Kissing rocks, you
may form some idea of this unique valley.

couth figure, said TO have been scuptured
by an Indian. II was to have been his

his people say that he has gone to where
the sulphur comes from; and none of his
tribe can be induced to visit the cannon.
\ priest, however, comes and looks over
into the valley, and communes. with the
spirits of the man in the hot place, and re-

absence of the Indians from the cannon is
a great comfort to the white folks, although
hard on the poor fellow who is in the hot

A" W4ITING.D

Learn to wait, life; s hardest lesson.
Conned, perchance through binding tears,
While the heart.throbs sadly echo,
To the tread ofpassing years
Learn to wait--hope's slow fruition;
Faint not, though the way seem long;
There is JOY in each condition,
Hearts though suffering may grow strong.
Constant sunshine, howe'er welcome,
Meier could ripen fruit or flower;
Giant oaks owe half their greatness,
For the scathing tempest's power
Thus soul untouched By SORROW,
Aims not at higher state;
joys seek but brighter morrow,
Only sad hearts learn to wait.
Human strength and human greatness.
Spring not from life's sunny side;
Heroes must be more than driftw0od
Floating on a waveless tide.

THE RIVER OF DHATE

II HOPE xHNIsoroy.
It's q narrow Stream
Whose waters CLEAN,
With . light from the life immortal,
And whose ebbing tide
On the other side,
Flows up TO the heavenly portal.
Poor mortals shrink,
When they reach the brink,
And turn with a hopeless shiver,
For no boat can sail,
In the chilling gale,
That sweeps Ger that lonely river

In solemn tone,
And chant in dirge-liEe measures,
And each little wave

And then went out forever.
watched in vain
For CLEAN again,
OF the lamp so lately burning,
With pleading prayer,
And deep dispair,
Till my heart grew sick with yearning
When shining light
From the midst Of night,
Broke on my astonished vision,
And my sin-blind eyes
In glad surprise,
Cared out on fields elysian
The solemn tone
Of the rivers moan,
Wa. lost mid angels singing.
And each wave that rolled
BY tho streets of gold,
Some SOUND to heaven was bringing.
The vision bright
Of that heavenly sight,
Drove from my heart the sorrow,
And dread no more
The rivers roar,
Nor fear that coming morrow;
When ! shall go
With the ebb and how,
Or its waters rolling 'er me,
And my feet shall land
On the shining strand
With the dear ones gone before me.
