Over brown moors and withered leas
The angry winds were sweeping; ~
Over the great gray northern seas
The crested waves were leaping;
And you and stood close together,
In the chilling CLEAN OF the wintry weather,
AS the bare gaunt branches overhead
Shook their lingering leaflets, gold and red,
While in every faltering word we said
Rang the pitiful wall for the days that wert
dead;
For, by the sad seas, meath the storm-beat
trees,
Our last itryst we were keeping. >
l scarce could hear the words you sobbed, >''
AmidyOur passionate weeping,
And the glow from my eager prayer Wa'
robbed t..
By the chill around us creeping;
From the. silent paths, where in summer
weather,
Youth, joy, and music had met together,
From the cry of the sea- news fitting past,
Der the white wild waves in the bitter blast,
From the breakers that crashed on the hollow
SAND,
From the sough OF the breeze DER the dull
damp land,
From sea and shore rose ''No more. no more,"
AS our tryst we were keeping.
There was not pale bud left, in sooth.
MID the dry leaves round us heaping;
The bitter harvest of reckless youth,
Times iron hand was reaping:
Our lips still sad, "FOrever, forever"
As the trembling fingers clung together.
But even then each sad heart knew
what rate anu circumstance meant to do,
And the mighty pillows doomed like a knell,
AS we turned apart from that long farewell:
And to wind, anu ram, and the moaning main
Left the last tryst of oul keeping.

be interesting for the jury to read in con-

Eation to the $4,000 mortgage on Beech.
sr's house to secure money borrowed for
the support of that paper. Beecher said
he wanted to help Tilton; and lest the
needy proprietor Of the Golden Age
should refuse any assistance from that
quarter, under the circumstances, the
money was handed to the ''mutual
friend," upon whom Tilton was constant
y drawing. In this way Beecher's
money was paid out on the express
account of the paper. The point
or Interest is the fact that the Golden
Age was an intidel journal while Tilton
controlled it; and the question arises,
how could the great orthodox Doctor
c0nscientiously support such a paper

should support the propagation

tribute very large sum to the Golden
Age, and Moulton says that he aided

order clerk, to recover $S25 stolen from
his desk, was before Judge Force yes
terday. The testimony showed that the
package lay near the edge of the desk,
and that it was probably taken by per-
sons in the crowd on the outside. Foulds
claimed that there was box provided
to put the money in, but the witness for
the other side showed that the box WAS
only for distributed money, and not for
packages, and that i.uthstrom had no
other place to lay the money, and that to
open and shut the box whenever he paid
an order would have caused hum to lose
more than an hours time every day,
while in fact he was so hurried that he
could not even get time to eat lunch at
noon. The judge rendered verdict in
favor of Luthslrom, eXonerating him
from blame in the matter.

EDUCATION AL.
Advertisement No. 4
low to Teach Political Economy
In the Lyceum Institute.

Political Economy is one OF the most import
ant branches Of study, because it covers the
most practical relations Of life. How TO obtain
| subsistence for the body and the means Of COM
fort for the household is the first question that
concerns the mass of men, and ought to be the
first question with every young person. No one
ought to consider his father rich enough to
raise him above the necessity Of applying the
first efforts Of his early mannood to the purpose
of obtaining living.
The Lyceum method can be fully understood
by a single illustration. Suppose we are en-
tering upon the topic Of Labor as an element Of
production. The Professor gives lecture
chiefly for the purpose of showing the class
how to investigate it for themselves He then
assigns the Leading authors to the members Of
the class; to one, Adam Smiths Wealth Of
Nations, toauother, Says Work, to another, Sis
mondi, to a fourth, Senator Tracey, to fifth,
j. S. Mills Work, to sixth, Thornton on La
Dor, to a-seventh, Carey, to the eighth, List, to
the ninth, the Work by Horace Greeley, and
so on through the whole class. Probably three
days should be given to preparation for the
recitation. Each one is required to conden8e
into as brief a compass as possible the most
important views and facts given by his author.
and deliver his synopsis either orally or from
manuscript to the class. Three days are given
to the preparation, and the recitation occupies
half day; the same topic to be continued un-
til thoroughly mastered by the class. Most Of
all, the students are urged to have opinions Of
their own.
So, also, when the subject Of Money and
Banking comes up, it is investigated in the
same way. The authors are distributed to tho
class, and all views that have been urged are
brought under consideration. The professor
introduces it with lecture In which he ex-
plains the function Of money, the different
kinds Of money, such as metallic, mixed and
paper, the nature of banking, the experience
of nations with the different currencies, &C.,
thus enabling the students to search the au
thors to the best advantage. After three days
preparation, with several .other studies on
hand, and half days recitation, the class will
find all the fog that hangs between the subject
and the vision Of the people dispelled, and the
comfort of q lifetime of intelligence on this
subject, so dark to nearly all the people, is Sc
cured.
So Of every other topic in this science. In
addition, it is seen that the students have
practical composition, oral speech, grammar,
rhetoric, Independent thought and free discuss
sion while learning Political Economy.
The superiority of the LyceunA Method is,
therefore, clear enough. The wonder is that il
has not, long since, been generally adopted.
