_ poetry^ MUSIC AT A DEATH BED. O! sing to me sweet sister, sing The song I love to hear, J And when I’m gone, Oh sing it still And think I’m lingering near. Oh let me hear before I leave This world for yonder skies, r The trembling tones of thy rich voice. On sighing zephyrs rise. Oft whilst we’ve watched the weary sun Behind the mountains hide, Casting his soft and parting light, On Susquehannah’s tide, And standing by our mother’s side, Or by our father’s knee, That song has risen on the prayers ; Oh ! sing it now to me. In fancy then will rise the scenes Of my loved childhood’s home : Again I’ll pluck my favorite 'flowers, And through my loved haunts roam. The forms of those in childhood dear, B.fore me I shall see ; And present sorrow ’ll be forgot; Then sing that song for me. The deep, rich tones so richly rose Upon the evening air, They seemed to stay the hand of death, And angels lingered there. The song now ceased—the wail of grief Succeeding that sweet lay, For with the loved and dying strains, Her spirit passed away. Herald. MISCELLANEOUS. A Remarkable Man. At a temperance meeting, held in Alabama, about six years ago, Col Lemanousky, who had been twenty three years in the armies of Napoleon Bonaparte, addressed the meeting. He arose be fore the audience, tall, erect and vigorous, with a glow of health upon his cheek, and said : ‘You see before you a man seventy years old. I have fought two hundred buttles, have fourteen wounds on ray body, nave uvea tinny aays or horse-flesh, with the bark of trees foi<> my bread, snow and ice for ray drink, the canopy of heaven for my covering, without stockings or shoes on my feet, and only a few rags of clothing. In the de sert of Egypt I have marched for days with a burning suu upon my naked head; feet, blistered in the scorching sand, and with eyes, nostrils, and °mouth filled with dust—and with a thirst t so tor menting that I have opened the veins of my arms, and sucked my own blood ! Do you ask, how I survived all these horrors? I answer that under the providence of God, I own my preservation, my health and vigor, to this fact, that I never drank a drop of spirituous liquor in my life, and,’ continu ed he, ‘Barron Larry, chief of the medical staff of the French arms, has stated as a fact, that the 6,000 survivors, who safely returned from Egypt were all of those men who abstained from ardent spirits.’ - — " J. T. Universalism Among Sailors.—A Universalist was once appointed a chaplain in the navy, and reported for duty on board one of our ships setting for sea. His creed very soon became known to the sailors, and was freely discussed in their mess es. “ If we are all so good that we are going to heaven,” said an old tar, “ what is the use in over hauling one’s sins ? it only gives a man a bloody sight of trouble for nothing.” “If we are all on the right track,’’ said anoth er, and must bring up at the right port, what is (he use preaching and praying about ?” " If we trust this doctrine, and it don’t turn out to be true, there’ll be hell to pay,” exclaimed a third. These sentiments were shared by the whole crew, and soon "became known to the newly ap pointed chaplain, who was wise enough to resign his commission. Rev. Walter Colton. True PniLOSoriiY. I saw a pale mourner stand bending over the tomb, and his tears fell fast and often. As he raised his humid eyes to heaven, he cried, ‘My brother! oh, my brother !’ A sage passed that way, and said, ‘For whom dost thou mourn?’ ‘One,’ replied he, ‘whom I did not sufficiently love while living ; but whose inestimable worth 1 now feel ?’_ ‘What wouldst thou do, if he were restored t< thee ?’ The mourner replied, ‘that he would never of fend him by any unkind word; but he would taki every occasion to show bis friendship, if he cqu1< but come back to liisfond embrace.-’ ‘ Then waste no time in useless grief,’ said th sage, ‘but if thou hast friends, go and cherish th living, remembering that they will die one da also.’ _ _ ^ A Mistake. A young gentleman who ha been paying—under protest from her rjch fatln —his addresses to a young lady, and had almoi given it up as a hopeless case, obtained an eligibl situation in a foreign mercantile house. Meetin a lady of his acquaintance soon after he had ai ranged to go abroad, he said to her— “ If you will promise never to tel] it to any om I’ll confide to you a secret.” “ Oh, no! of course I’ll never mention it,” sail the lady. He whispered *n ^er ear— “ My fortune is made—I am going to Havre'' “ You don’t say so! When ?” “ Next week.” They separated, and the next day the father o the young lady appeared before our hero, flour ishing a big cane in his right hand, demanding t< know “ by what authority he had proclaimed that he was going to marry his daughter ?” The young man denied the “ soft impeach ment.” “ You did !” roared his wouldn’t-be-father-in law; “ you told Mrs. Tliree-em-dash that yoi were going to have her next week !” “ And so I am—to sail for the port of Havre ii the Humboldt.” The old gentleman sloped.—Boston Museum.

Suffolk, Va., Feb. 16th, 1852. 8— ANTIOCH COLLEGE LIBRARY. THE undersigned haring been appointed a Commit tee, by the Provisional Committee and Trustees o Antioch College, for the purpose ot “making the neceij sary arrangements for procuring a LIBRARY for the College,” would most respectfully solicit Books ant Funds of the following persons and for the following reasons, via: 1st. Of the Friends or the College we solicit fund: and books—either or both—because of the interest whicl they should, and, we trust, do feel in the Institution; ant because of the very great advantage which their sons and daughters, and friends will derive from the perusa of said books while students at the College; beside! learning their intrinsic value, that they may purchast and study them in subsequent life. 2nd. Of Publishers and Publishing Associations w< respectfully solicit a copy of each of their publication; (or as many thereof as their liberality may dictate)— first as an act of benevolence; and, secondly, becauseo the mutual advantage which such donation will bestow on the College, because of its increased amount of useful ness, and oh the Publishers and Publishing Associations because of the increased amount of sales which it mus naturally bring them. The endowment of the .College $100,000, is already pledged, also about $50,000 for build ings, &c. This sum of $100,000 is divided in 100( scholarships, and is forever to remain on interest. Thest 1000 scholarships we very naturally suppose will eaust an average attendance of from 500 to a 1000 students each of whom, on graduating, will need a libniry, and o course will choose such books as they have learned the value of in the College library. Hence it is, we say that publishers and publishing associations will derive a great advantage, as the gift of a single copy to the Col lege library might be the means of subsequently selling a thousand of each to the students, graduates and friends of the institution. 3rd. Ut all AUTHORS, we mosi rcspecauuy suiicu u copy of each of their works. Since their object in writ ing has been to “ do good and communicate,” here is a vast field of mind—consisting of hundreds of young ladies and gentlemen—on whom their writings may have an influence for good. Besides this, (as we have before said in the case of publishers) the giving of a single copy of each of their works to the College library, may be the means of subsequently selling hundreds of each to its graduates and friends; and of causing its gradu ates to attend the Medical, Legal, or any other scientific institution with which they may stand connected. 4th. Of the benevolent, of the philanthropist, of the friends of a*free and liberal education-f the wide world over, we respeut!iilly solicit donations of books and mo ney and, in return, we pledge our honors as gentlemen and ojur reputation as Christians, to use them, as, in our humble judgment, may best promote the interests of hu manity and the cause of God. Every donation will be carefully recorded in the Col lege Register, where it will stand as a perpetual memen to of the kindness and benevolence of the giver. Philadelphia, Penn. Boston, Mass.
