.'.Harper's Weekly for August"

We learn from the Mobile Tribune that
Lonfel!ow's poetry has no strength. The
professor will also do we'll. hereafter, to
write his ''rhythmus' with measure. He
has already suffered the modification of
having one line corrected, and if he is wise
he will not let such an opportunity occur
again. He is old enough to know better.
The Tribune says:
Harler's Veehly for August is to contain
q copy of "Morituri Salutamus," written by
Longfellow for one of the colleges. We
find copy OF it in the New Orleans Bul
le:i- of Sunday. Like all of Longfellow's
poetry. it has no strength. Its rhythmus is
also sometimes without measure. AZ an
instance. take the following couplet:

On the evening of the 18th inst, in
this city, ANDREW JOHN BALLENTINE.
There are characters so sublime, that
words seem too weak to convey a just
sense of their tcue elevation. What is
in the hearts and on the lips of ali who
knew the departed, need not be repeated
here. Better is it to contemplate in ST
lence, life so grand and majestic in
its sweet humility; a life, to which all
his actions gave an tone, and a emphasis,
that reached, alike, the humblest and
the greatest. The rich honored him :;
the poor loved him. The Bible was he
guide of his youth, as well as of his ma
turer years, and the Golden Rule his
practice in all his dealings with his fell
iow-men.
Using the things of this world, as not
abusing them, he felt that whatever of
earthly good he possessed, was but lent
to him from the Lord, and that this
short life was only given, as means of
preparation for that which is beyond.
Integrity, uprightness, 'the charity
that thinketh no evil" and an humble
trust in God, characterized his daily
walk and to such life WAS granted a
fitting close-a spirit peaceful, triumph
ant. even while the poor body was al
most clay-a countenance glOrified, IA
dent, even while the shadows of death
were gathering over it.
Rest we'll, beloved one! You asked
only for crest" and il has been given
You; rest from earth's cares, from its
labors, from its burthens, which you
bore so patiently and bravely-rest-
~That rest that remaineth for the people
of GOd.n NJ.

We had not the good fortune to be pres

attendance, from whom we learn that
the reception was elegant to fault. A
large mum Der of invited guests greeted
the happy pair with congratulations,
and were paFtakers of the magnificent
hospitality of the worthy host and host
ess. The entertainment was greatly
enjoyed by all present, and many were
the well-wishes made Mr.. Grigsby and
his beautiful bride. May their lives
know no sorrow, and their days be long
