FoRGorrEN.-Generation after gener-
alton have felt as we feel, and their fel-
lows were as active in lite as ours are
now. They passed as q vapor, while
nature wore the same aspect OF beauty,
as when her Creator commanded her to
be. And so, likewise, shall it be when
we are gone. The heavens will be as
bright over our graves as they are now
around our path; the world will have
The same funeral winding OH It's way,
and the attractions for offspring that
she once had for ourselves, and that she
has now for her children. A little
while, and all this will have happened.
The throbbing heart will be stilled, and
We shall be at rest. Our prayers will
be said, and the grave-clods will be
thrown in, and our friends will all re-
turn, and we shall be left behind to
darkness and to the worms. And 1t
may he for some short time we shall be
spoken of, but the things of life will
creep in, and our names will soon be for
gotten. Days will continue to move
on, and laughter will be heard in the
very chamber in which we died; and the
eyes will glisten again with joy; and
even our children will cease TO think of
us, and will not remember to lisp our
names.

came. We were both employed in a

his paw, drove Bob to the Bible and me
to the bottle, where we have been ever

A HALF Hour in Heaven.

The Evansville Couritr of recent
date says: "Some weeks since Eliza
beth Lippert, the wife of a farmer named
Gottleib Lippert. of Newburg, War
wick county, was taken very i'll with
inhammatory rheumatism, and, the die
ease continuing, her life was despaired
of. She continued to grow weaker and
weaker, and few days since DIED, or
expired to all appearances. The grief
of the family was very great, but at
the death-bed there were also number
of neighbors. In the hour of distress
they turned in to make themselves use
full, and proceeded to prepare the corps
for burial. The body was placed in a
convenient position, and was noticed to
he still warm, but not more so than
they are usually after dying of fevers.
The neighbors, about half an hour
after Mrs. Lippert's death, commenced
to wash the body. AS soon, however,
as water was placed on the face the
corpse seemed to become inspired with
lite, and after the ablutions had contin-
ned for nearly fifteen minutes she opened
her eyes, much to the astonlshment OF
the attendants, who were not little
frightened, for they thought they were
dealing with corpse instead Of one
still on this side of the celestial world.
The women continued their attentions,
however, until Mrs. Lippert was able
to speak. She said that just before she
died everything about her became
dark, and soon she went to sleep.
When she woke it was bright, and as
she tells it was in strange place, feel
ing an ecstasy of pleasure, and was
devoid of all the racking pains with
which she was afflicted during her i'll
ness. She gives no definite idea of the
land into which she had in spirit wan
dered, or the people she met, but is GER
tain she was in heaven, and in her
simple way described the place as being
an elysium of bliss. While enjoying
all this it became dark suddenly, and
she woke as from . pleasant dream, to
find that she had been corpse for near.
ly an hour, and that the neighbors were
washing her face. Since then Mrs.
Lippert has entirely recovered, and is
now able to be about attending to her
household duties, and in her leisure
moments relates to the open-mouthed
Newburgers the story Of her death.
This is the tale related by gentleman
who arrived from Newburg yesterday,
and who resides near the lady who was
the subject of the catalepsy."

And can it be ? All, yes, see,
'Tis thirty years and better
Since Mary Morgan sent to me
This musty musky letter.
A pretty hand, (she couldn't spell,)
AS any man must vote 1t;
And twas, as remember we'll,
A pretty hand that wrote It.
How calmly nowI view it all,
memory backward ranges
The talks and walks that recall,
And then-the postal changes I!
How well loved her l can guess
(Since cash is Cupid's hostage.)
Just one and ix-pence-nothing less
This letter cost in postage.
The love that wrote at such rate,
(By JOve, it was a steep one y
Five hundred notes, calculate,
Was certainly deep one;
And yet it died, of slow decline
Perhaps suspicion chilled it;
I've quite forgotten if twas mine
Or Marg's flirting killed it
At last the fatal message came;
"My letters-please return them;
And yours-of course you wish the same
I'll send them back or burn them"
Two precious fools, / must allow,
Which ever was the greater;
wonder if Pm wiser now,
Some seven lustres later !
And this alone remains all, well,
These words of warm affection.
The faded ink, the pungent smell,
Are food for deep reflection.
They tell of how the heart contrives
To change with fancy's fashion,
And how a drop of musk survives
The stron pest human passion !

Thoughts for Saturday Night.

Sin is ashamed of sin.
TO step aside is human.
Pleasure and sorrow are twins.
Above all things reverence yourself.
Honest men are the gentlemen of ma
ture.
Memory always obeys the commands
of the heart.
Man is the weeping animal born to
govern all the rest.
There is even happiness that makes
the heart afraid.
A wise man will make more oppor-
tunity than he finds.
The thought OF eternity consoles for
the shortness of life.
Sad is his lot who, once at least in
his life, has not been apoet.
Solid love, whose root is virtue, can
no more die than virtue itself.
Cultivate not only the cornfelds OF
your mind, but the pleasure grounds
also.
Nurture your mind with great
thoughts. To believe in the heroic
makes heroes.
AS turning the logs will make a dull
fire burn, SO change OF studies dull
brain.
A good discourse is that from which
one can take nothing without taking
the life.
When man can look upon the SIM
pie wild rose and feel no pleasure, bis
taste has been corrupted.
1 should say sincerity, a deep, great,
genuine sincerity, is the first charac-
teristic of all men in any way heroic.
If you wish success in life, make
perseverance your bosom friend, expe-
rience your wise counselor, caution your
elder brother, and hope your guardian
genius.
A man ought to carry himself in the
world as an orange tree would if it
could walk up and down the garden
swinging perfume from every little
censer it holds up to the air.
1t is said that jealousy is love, but |
deny it; for though jealousy be procured
by love, as ashes are by fire, yet Jeal-
ousy extinguishes love as ashes smother
flame.

Affairs in the Pennsylvania mining
regions are not settled yet, though in
a state of comparative quiet. All is
serene in Carbon county, Pa, and the
miners say if the operators will give
them the 81 basis they will resume at
once. At Tamaqua Oh Monday last four
hundred strikers visited the mines but
found no one at work. They discharged
their revolvers in the air and told the
proprietors they had no objection to
coal being mined for the towns own
consumption, but none should be shipped
abroad. At Hazleton all ID quiet.

THE PALETTE CLUB.

SUMMER NIGHT FESTIVAL ON THE HUDSON.
The moonlight excursion given under the au-
spices oil the Palette Club on Wednesday evening
proved refreshing and delightful treat TO the
very numerous and fashionable throng that re-
sponded 10 the invitation. Favored by all the
elements that could possibly contribute to IT'S sue
cess, the affair afforded much qualification and
was highly credltable to the club. The steamer
Plymouth Rock was the vessel selected for the
occasion: but even the spacious limits OF that ele-
CANT craft hardly su1lced, so dense was the
gathering. She was handsomely decorated with
bunting and banners, both outside and within,
and when she hauled alongside the wharf at the
foot OF Twenty-tnird street, North River. shortly

band at once put the guests in aitng IN the best
