They are falling in the valleys, Where the; early violets fpribgf And the birds in early spring time, First their dolcet music sing. They ere tailing sadly faWnjr, Close beside oar cottage.door, ' Pale and Jaded like the loved ones, Tbey have gone forevermore. They are tailing, and the sunbeams Shine in beauty solt around, Ytttbe faded leaves are tailing, Falling on the mosey ground. They are falling on the streamlet, Where the silvery water flow, , And upon its placid bosom Onward with the waters go. Tbey. ere falling in thechurcb-yard, Where our kindred sweetly eleip; " Where the idle winds of summer, Soltly o'er the loved one's sweep. ' They are falling, ever falling,, t When the autumn. breezts sigh", i When the stars beauty glisten Bright upon the midnight sky. They Ire falling when the tempest MoaLs like ocean's hollow roar. When the tuneless winds and billows Badly sigh forever more. and at last a pick-ax struck, with a blow that jarred me all through, upon the lid of my coffin, right ever my head. . 'Here she is poor thing !' I heard a sweet voice say. Tm so glad we've found her.' ' said another voice. , 'She couldn't bear it any longer ' said a. third more pitiful voice than cither of the others. 'I heard her first,' it went on. ' I was away up in Orien, when I thought I heard a wo man crying that ought not to be cry ing. I stopped and listened, and I heard her again. Then I knew that it was one of the buried ones, and .that she had been buried long enough and tag ready for the resurrection. So as nnv lmsinKK can wait excerit that, I flf?w here and there till I fell in with the rest of you.' 'I think, papa,; that this must have been because of what you were saying the other evening about the mystery 'of St: Paul ; that while he defended with all his lnTghtthe actual resurrec tion of Christ arid the resurrection of those he came te save, he used it as meaning something more yet, as a sym bol of our coming out of the death of sin into the life' of truth.

Papa !' said Connie, I had such a Btrango dream last night ; shall I tell it to you? - - If you please,; my dear said her fa ther, ' I am very fond of dreams that have any senge in them and even of those that have good nonsense in them. Tell it to me? 'Mine, wasn't 'a dream to make mex laurh. It was too dreadful at first, and- too delightful afterwards.

I . , y - ' believe so. ji But I want to hear your dream first, and then your way of ' ac counting i or it. ' There isn't much more of it now said Connie. - ' There must be the last of it.' Yes, I allow that. Well, while they spoke it was a wonderfully clear and connected dream they were clear ing away the earth and stones from the top of my coffin; And I lay trembling and expecting to be looked at, like a thingin a box, as I was, every mo meat. But they lifted me, coffin and all. out of the grave for I felt the mo tion of it up. Then they set it down,' and I heard them taking the lid off. But after the lid was off it did not secin to make much difference to me. I could not open! my eyes. I saw no light and felt nojwind blowing on me. But I heard them whispering about me.. Then I felt warm, soft hands washing my face, and then I felt wafts of wind coming on my face.and thought hi3 vast pemessioas fljw from his grasp lika a uutjor from the brow of night. Farewell, said a little child, aa-she folded the white wingsof her dead dove andlaid it in the grave which her own 'hand had made beneath a rose tree. 1 Fareft'eU, said a noble 'youth, as he left his na ive land to g zi upon the griindtur ol distant nations. ; Farewell, siicf a broken hearted wid ow't'as ehc plumed "her spirit wings tor heaven.

An old lady in Saginaw, Michigan has given hoods in 1300 not to scold her neighbors for an-entire year. MIf there is anybody under the can ister of heaven that I have in utter ex crescence," tajs Mrs. Partington, -it is the slander goiig about like a boy con strictor, circulating hit calomel upon honest folks. I A young lady wrote some verses for a cquntiy paper about her birthday, and headed them ''May 30th." It almost made Ler hair gray when it appeared in print, "My 80th.'' "How do you. define black as your hat f " said a schoolmaster to one ot his pupils. ''Darkness that may be felt," replied the youthful urchant Satirical.

They made up a 1 g,heap and the ne gro men tied him and put him in; they let him burn a while, and would then take him out and talk to him; he said he saw her at Willing- ham's and went out on the road to catch her, which he did about half way be tween VY lllinghara'a and her home, ADVERTISEMENTS.

I did not cbooso to open thorn, for I knew that if I did I should see nothing but tho ' inside of the lid of my coffin. I did not mind it much at first, for I was veryr quiet, and not uncomfortable. -Everything was as silent as it should be, for I was ten feet and a half below the surface of the earth in the church-yard Old -Rogers cw as not far from mc on one side, and tbit"raY a comfort only therd was a thick wall of earth be tween. But as the time : wont I be- gan to get uncomfortable. I could not help thinking bow long I should have to wait for tho resurrection. Some how I had forgotten all you teach me about jthat. Perhaps it was puuish-mcnt-the dream for forgetting it. Well, I'll, go on with my dream. I lay a long time till I got ivery tired, iand wanted to get up, lOh.W much ! -But still I lay, and although I tried, J could uot move hand or foot. At laat I burst out crying. I was ashamed of crying in my coffin, but I couldn't bear it any longer, I thought I was disgraced, for everybody was expected to be perfectly (juiet and, patient down there. But very soon after I began to cry, I heard a sound of spades and. pik-axcs. It was on and on, and came nearer and nearer. And then .it was so strange- I was dreadfully frightened at the thought of the light and the wind, and of the people seeing -mc in my coffin and night-dress, and Uried to pursuade myself that it was somebody else they were digging for, or that they were going to lajr'anoth-1 r coffin over mine. And I thought if it was you they were going to put there, papa, I shouldn't mind how long I lay there, for I shouldn't feel a bit lonely, flven though we could not speak a word to each other all the time. But the louuds camo on, nearer and nearer, to the for.d heart a talc while a loved one is toilling in a distant land. Of a vacant chairin the old man's dwelling. Of poverty and mighty s'rugglts with a cold ai:d unfeelir g world. Of children weeping on acco'unt of their first soi row. Of leaving home and country to auk more happiness and more joy. Of blighted -.hep s j and broken vows. Of beauty fled from ?urth while the lovely f mourner wateie a tiny grave wun burning tears.

A lady, formerly of this ciy, but now residing near Minden, Louisiana, in a letter to her father here, gives the foU iowing details of a most horrible affair which recently occurred in ths neigh borhood in which she lives, which we have been kindly permitted to publish. The writer says: We had a very exciting and thock ing affair in this neighborhood this week. Mrs. Kiddn a lady between 25 and 30 years old, a married lady with two little children obout the ages of nine, and said to be a nice amiable woman as ever lived, rode erer to Mr. Willingham's, who is teaching the ne groes in thU place, last monday to get some sewing done, epeat the morning, ii was just one mile from her home, and got on her horte and started home, but never got there. Her husband got un ey about her staying S3 late, aud went tojWillinghara' house to see wbat had become of her, and as I have told yea she bad started home. 1 The alarm was given that the was musing, the neigh bors it tut in tearch of her, foutd the horse grazing in the fields with the bridle n his neck, and a little satchel hmgr g on the pommel of the raldle, but could find no tracts cf her.

The latter wan!ed to make a "swap," Lut he did not see how he was to do it. At last be theught of a plan, nia horse had been taught to sit down like a deg whenever he wt s touched with the spurs. Seeing a wild turkey, the .Yankee made hia horse perform this trick, and asserted that be was pointing gme, as wai bis custom. The Kentuckian n.de in the direction inaicarea i-y me noree s nose, ana up rose atuikey. This settled the matter; the trade was made, and saddles acd horses were exchanger. 'After a time they came to a deep, rapid stream, over which the black horse carried hii rider with eaie. But the Kmtucktan. wiih the Yukcu's old beast, found great dffi cmlty in getting over, and when he reached the middle of the stream be was afraid the horse would allow him self to be carried away, and endeavor ed to spur him up to a more vigorous action- Down sat the old horse on his hiunches .
