For, uh though fair earth's landscape glows, Beneath tho tints of eveu, Yet all is nought to Sharon's rose, Which blooms so bright in heaven How oft, when heart to heart is bound, The cords apart are riven Then, oh, how sweet to feel no wound.

The hour of Christ's death was the most prolific of great events since lime began to run since hours began to be numbered. It was the hour in which Christ was glori darkened, and you havo a faint conception of it then again, the gradual change to a superb emerald green, as yoii approach soundings.

We were becalmed on the Bahama bankB for tvo or three dayB, but the detention was more pleasing than otherwise, for the water was so perfectly clear, that every thing could bo distinctly seen at the bottom, although at the distaucoof eight fathoms. It was truly delightful to sit on the rail at the stern, and watch the fish darting swiftly through the pure liquid below. The sea fan, coral, spongo, aud tho chalky appearance of tho bottom, wore plainly discernable but for all this seeing so many new and beautiful things, for instance tho suusct in gold, purple aud scarlet, that I have over seen, still a sea voyage is a most monotonous affair, aud to be avoided if possible.

Tho most experienced pilot cannot stop a boat whilo under headway before she proceeds three lengths, whilo a vociferous gent, can, if you believe him, do it immediately if not sooner.

Willum Bailey Dear sir: 1 have been for over a year troubled with a severe cough, which for a while assumed a chronic and extremely obstinate foim; it did not appear to yield to any treatment whatever, until I procured your valuable Syrup of Wild Cherry bark.

Tdotaot like much to have my name published in the newspapers but still, after due consideration, I have come to the conclusion that, Inasmuch as I am positively sure that your Syrup cured me. I cannot well object to giving you this cerj titicate to this effect.

TOWNSEND'S SARSAPARILLA being taken for this dreadful disease, which ho has hoard of, it has not only saved the life, but restored the patient in a few days, without leaving scars. The following is one of many cases lately reported June 20, 1846. Dr. Townsend Dear sir Although I am a stranger, I take the liberty of addressing you, and giving you a brief history of the benefit 1 derived in taking your Sarsaparilla for the Small Pox. I was attacked with thn i1Ibsb verv fied by his sufferings.

Through the cloud of his humiliation his native lustre broke forth but never uia it snino so origin as now. it was, moeeu, ino hour of distress and blood. It is distress that ennobles every great character, and distress was to glorify the Son of God. He was now to teach all mankind by his examplo, how to suffer and how to die. What magnanimity in all his words and actions, on this great occasion I No upbraiding, 110 complaining expression escaped from his lips he betrayed no symptoms of a weak, a discomposed, or impatient inind.

With all the dignity of a sovereign, he conferred pardon on a penitent follow suf ferer with a greatness of mind beyond example, he spent his last moments in apologies and prayers for those that were shedding his blood. This was the hour in which Christ atoned for the sins of man kind, and accomplished our eternal redemption. It Was the hour when that great sacrifice was offered up, the efficacy of which reaches back to the first transgression of man, and extends forward to the end of time the hour when from the cross, as from I away the guilt of nations. In this hour the long Series of prophecies, visions, types and figures were accomplished. This was centre in which they all met.

You behold the law and the prophets standing at the foot of the cross and doing homage you behold Moses and Aaron bearing the ark of the covenant, David auu iijan presenting me oracle ot tlie testimony you behold all tho priests and sacrifices, all the rites and ordinances, all the types and symbols assembled together to receive their consummation. This was tho hour of ihj; of the law, and the introduction of the gospel the hour of terminating the old and beginning the new dispensation It is finished When he uttered these words he changed the state of the universe. This was the ever memorable point of time which separated the old and new world from each other. On one side of the point of separation, you behold the I aw with its priests, its sacrifices and lis rues retiring Irom the sight. Un the other vou behold the gospol, with its simple and venerable'in Btitutiou, corning forward in view.

Significantly was uioveu oi me tempio rem in twain, lor the glory then departed from before the cherubim. The lerjal hih priest delivered up his urim and Ihummim, his breastplate, his robes and his incense, and Christ stood forth as the great high priest of all succeeding generations. Altars on which the fire had blazed fur ares were now to smoke no more now it was, also, that ho threw down the walls of partition which had so long divided the Gentile from the Jew, and gathered into one ail tne laitniui ot averv kindred anil nennlp xnm was llie hour ot Christ's triumph over aH the powe.s of darkness the hour in which ho over! threw dominions and thrones, led captivity captive, gave gifts unto men, then it was that the foun i dation of every pagan temple shook, the statue of every false god tottered on its base, tho priest fled i from his falling shrine, and the heathen oracles be came forever dumb; this was the hour when our iuru eiecteu mat spiritual Kiugaom, wnicn is never to end. His enemies imagined that in this hour they had successfully accomplished their plan of his destruction but how little did they know that the Almighty was at that moment setting hmi as a king on the hill of Zion how little did they know that their badge of mock royalty was at that moment converted into the signs of absolute dominion, and the instruments of irresistible power.

At the same time, however, if, (ah, that roeky little mouatam if it were possible to array such a series of influences as to make every family possess its inalienable patch of land, and provent tho monopolizing of largo territories iu the hands of a fow, such a result would go a great way toward preventing the immense misery that now runs like a flood over the civilized world, misery greatest too where there is the most wealth, power, refinement, and improvement. Wo comply with the request of a correspondent, to publish tho following article from a lato Boston Chronotypc The great land reform.

Vote yourself a farm" has passed current among wiseacres for an excellent joke upon a class of politicians who are represented as ton lazy to work one if they had it. But the wisdom of this political war cry is mado every day more and more apparent by the condition of all the. countries of Europe, and may be read in every emigrant ship which reaches our shores. Europo is casting out not merely its worst, but its best population. Why Not because there is physical famine in that land.

It is commercial famine. Not because every nation of Europo is ovcr peoplod, for not ono has yet had population sufficient to reduce her territory to the highest state of cultivation, if sho had employed them on the very best instead of the worst system. Europe is unpeopling herself on account of tho infernal system of land monopoly which she has received from tho feudal ages. Wo have adopted from her the same system, and only wait tho lime when the natural geometrical progression of this monopoly shall overtake the fixed quantity of our soil to be in the same condition. When this takes place, and our immense country, like Europe, is all represented by parchments filed away in iron safes, and these parchments pertain only tpono in a hundred or thousand of its population, to what new continent snail tho landless then betake themselves No timo is to bo lost iu sowing the send of a better system.

The principle should be laid down among the fundamental ones of our political constitutions, that land is not a subject of exchange to be speculated in, accumulated, hoarded and monopolized like money. Some measure should at onco bo adopted to check all departures from this principle, and to bring back, gradually and without violence, the land already appropriated to its natural and just distribution. To all men who are willing to cultivate the soil a sufficient portion of it should be made inalienable to yield a comfortable support to a family. Every year's delay in this great matter leaves us a stride nearer to the fearful condition of Ireland and Scotland. Every ship load of needy emigrants from the old country puts fresh power into tho hands of our land monopolizers to imiiale those who are breeding famines in the best cultivated countries of the world, and they are not slow to avail themselves of it, therefore we say, and wo have much more to say about it, tha soundest and most important political maxim afloat is, Vote yourself a farm."

Some of tho New York papers continue their ridiculous tirades against the Union ferry company for keeping the chains up to prevont people from falling overboard. Wo think the company are the best abused body of men in this country. First they are anathematised for not having safeguards for passengers but the moment they provide chains they aro abused for putting up traps which trip people overboard. It makes no difleronco whether a man jumps overboard in tho middle of the river, or whether he plumps into tho dock while leaping several rods after a boat, the company are represented to be wilful murderers, and harborers of malicious designs against every passenger who goes on board of their bouts. The much enduring company, whilo endeavoring to accede to the propositions of that hydra headed monster tho public, remind one very forcibly of the fublo of tho man and jackass, who in the attempt to suit every ono failed to satisfy anybody.

We learn that they aTO now about to adopt somo regulations of their own, all others having signally failed. Every passenger who goes on board the ferry boats is to be immediately eoized, a stout dog chain fastened to his or her body, and padlockedto a staple, some of which are to be Two wcok Inter from Europe.

The following letters which wo have received this morning from Brooklyn gentlemen, members of tho army, at Vera Cruz, arc up to tho very latest dates from that part of the world and will be found of very considerable interest: Transport ship Atlas, Vkra 30th June, 1747.

We dropt our mudhook hero yesterday, under the guidance of a uativo pilot, who boarded us some hours before. When bo came on board, all were anxious to hear the latest Mexican news and through an interpreter he stated how it was rumored and was in the Vera Cruz papers that Gen. Scott had died a few days ago at Puebla oJ dysentery. So daring were the rancheros and guerilla parties, that a police man was lassoed about three hundred yards outside the city wall, a few nights before. Sixteen hundred mules had been stolen in one night from an encampment uoar the city.

In Vera Cruz, he said, sickness and death prevailed to a frightful extent and it was still worse iu the cos. tie but it was healthy among tho shipping. Such were a few first impressions, or rumors thrown off by the pilot. To day I went on shore regardless of Yellow Jack," and strolling along the streets saw numerous evidences of the power of Yankee powder and ball. General Pierce, commanding the New Hampshire voluuteers under Col.

Ransom, a coin. Pny dragoons under Capt. Duff, and volunteers who are daily reporting, amounting in all to about 1,800, arc encamped ou tho beach about three miles north of and within sight of our anchorage. Gen. Peircu told mo to day, that he expects to march to join Gen.

Scott in seven or eight days. Tho marines, who are in first rate health and spirits, full o' fight, will, it is said, join tho brigade of Gen.Peirce, and with it march for the" Halls of tho Montezu and. as ou all previous occasions, they will do their duty and no mistake." Although principally composed of new recruits, at the time of leaving the U. States, so much attention was paid to them during the passage that they are now capabie of maucEuvering like old troops, and now if occasion oilers they will fight like veterans. I had a conversation with Col.

Wilson, governor of tho city, who informed me that a report had reached town by Mr. Vala, a highly respectable lmu' Gp" Scott had approached the city of iucxico and communicated will 1 tho city authorities consequence of which Gen. Santa Anna had convoked congress. If such proves true, peace may soon be made, which seems to be tho general expectation here. The Orleans is reported as leaving 1 close to hasten this on board.

A gentleman of Boston has recvived a letter giving a most terrible explanation of the murder of Mr.

George H. Hiukley's child, at Oysterville, BariiBtable, on Sunday last. The coffin containing the corpso was taken into the church on Tuesday, and all the neighbors were collected there, and, one by one, according to the form of the old superstition, requested to lay their hands on the coffin and declare their iu nocense of the murder. When it came to the turn of the mother of the child, sho reluctantly laid her hand on the coffin, and, with a great effort, made out to say I did'nt do it I didn't do it." Hot manner at once created a violent suspicion against her, and, after she had been questioned a little, she made a full confession of the murder, and also ad milted that she made several attempts to set fire to the house, which have been noticed heretofore. She was a maniac at times.

Gill and his father, at one and the same time. Y'oung Gill was a lieutenant in the first company of volunteers from Memphis, aud fell with many others whilo gallantly advancing to the charge of Gordo.

His father, Mr. Lyman Gill, grieved at his son's death, repaired to Mexico to bring hither his remains, and bury them among his kindred, in his own country. In returning home he sickened and died. Commutations for militia duty. The Albany Evening Atlas, in an article on commutations for militia duty, makes it perfectly clear, we think, that no one can commute who has not been enrolled in a company and duly notified thereof by its commander.

Quotations are given from the law which strike us as completely establishing this point. Patriotism rewarded. The legislature, of Maine havo voted to David Jordan SOU acres of land in consideration of his being the father of tccn children. This is the way iu which our sister encourages domestic manufactures. An example worthy of imitation.

Drowned A man whilo enagged yesterday in painting a British vesBel at Smith's wharf fell overboard and was drowned. His body was recovered near the Catharine ferry in the evening, and an inquest held upon it by coroner Abraham. Thb PRoniETic dew drops. A delicate child, pale and prematurely wise, was complaining oil a hot morning, that the poor dow drops had been too hastily snatched away, and not allowed to glitter on the flowers like other happier dew drops that live the whole night through, and sparkle in tho moonlight and through the moruiug onward to noonday. The sun," said tho child, has chased them away with his heart, or swallowed them up in his wrath." Soon after came rain and a rainbow, whereupon his father pointed upwards: See," said ho, there stands the dew drops' glorious roses a glittering jewelry in the heavens; and the clownish fool tramples on them no more.

By this, thou art taught that what withers upon earth blooms again in heaven." Thus the father spoke, aud knew not that he spoke prefiguring words for soon after the delicate child, with the morning brightness of his early wisdom, was exhaled, like a dew drop, unto heaven. Jean Paul. UnivEL Complaints occur inoro frequently during the summer months than at any other period, becauso at this season of the year, the system being debilitated, digestion is not sufficiently active to dispose of the food before it becomes ptitrified hence a peculiar acid is generated in the stomach, which is tho caiue of those horrid diseases called dysentery, cholera morbus, inllammution of the bowels, etc. Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills are a natural remedy, and thereforo are a certain cure for all kinds of bowel complaint because they cleanse the stomach and bowels from those putrid humors which cause the above distressing maladies. They aiso aid and improve digestion and purify the blood consequently, as they remove the cause of every form of disease, it is absolutely impossible for them to fail in making a perfect cure of dysentery, cholera morbus, inflammation of the bowels, etc.

Two rooms were filled with friends, who had come to attend the burial of a little girl.

Her body lay in a cofHn, ou a marble table. in the middle of the parlor. Her sweet lips were ciosea, auo ner paie nanus, loidea over her bosom, were as cold as the marble. By the side of the coffin was a silver cup, such as children use, and in it was a buuch of fresh flowers. I dare say it was Emily's cup.

Whenever her fa ther and mother look at it, they will always think of their child who used to drink out of it It made me sorrowful to see these sweet flowers by the side of a corpse. They wero beautiful, but they were sad. Emily was like these flowers. She grew up, and was as promising and as lovely as they. Now she is cut down and withered.

in a lew hours the flowers will be dead also. But in the same way in the sepulchre. But be rose i again, and that is the sign that Emily will rise again, I a r.Vi 1 ralS0 IUU, UCllt Jll.lt, V11L'. When these flowers die all is over with them All their gay colors, all their sweet perfumes, are lost, i all is not over with Jbmily. Her soul is not lost.

It is with Christ. It is better to be with him than to be with us. The soul shall be joined to the body at the resurrection. Then soul and body will bo hap py to all eternity. This is what I thought on looking at the silver cup and flowers beside the coffin.
