Fresh from the fountains of the wood A rivulet of the valley came, And glided on for many s rood, Flushed with the morning's ruby flame. The air was fresh , and soft, and sweet, The slopes, in Spring's new verdure lay, And wet with dew-drops at my feet Bloomed the young viulotsof May. No sound of busy life was heard, Amid these pastures lone and still, Save tho faint chirp of the early bird, Or bleat of flocki along the hill I traced the rivulet's winding way j New scenes of beauty opened round, Where meads of brighter verdure lay,-And lovlier blossoms tinged the ground. Ah! hippy valley stream. I said-Calm glides thy wave amid the flowers, VVlio'-e Iragrance ruunJ thy path is bhed, Through all the joyous Miinm. r hours. O, could my life like lliinobe passed In si-rne remote uriil silent glen, Where 1 might, dwull , and leep at last F.ir from the bustling haunts ol men! But what, now ucWs greet mine car? The vi,lau'e srho.il b iy'a merry call, And midst the village hum I hear Tho ru-hing of the wuterall I looked! tlio widening vale belrajed A pool tlinl simile like linriii-llid olcel, Wheio hat briuhi viille) ktream was stayed To t urn the uiil.it V p mdtruus wheel And why should 1. 1 thought with shame, Sigh for a life of solitude, When even a stream without, a name Is laboring for the common good, No, never let me shun my part. Amid the buy scenes of life; iiut w ith a warm and generous heart Press furwaid in the nlorious Mrife. itlisrrilanfMts. 7 be Struggle end the "Victory. "Johnny," BaiJ a farmer to his little boy, "it is time for you to go to the pasture and drivo home the cuttle.!' Johnny was playing ball, and the pasture was a long way otf; but ha was accustomed to obey, so olf be suited without a word, as fast as his legs would carry him- Being in a groat hurry to get back to play, he only half Ut down the birs. and tiien hurried the cattle through, and one lino cow, in tr) ing to crowd ovor, itumbled, and full wilb her leg broken. Johnny stood bv the suffering creature.and thoiigl t lo himself, " Xow what shall I do? That was the finest cow father had, and it will have to bo killed, and it wilt be a f rest loss to father. What shall I tell him." "Tell him," whispered the tempter the same tempter that puts wicked thoughts into all our hearts, "tell him you found tho bar hulfdown, and the creature lying here. ''No, I cau'l say that," said Johnny, "for that would Lea lie." "Tell him," whispered the tempter again, "that while you wuie driving the cows, that big boy of Farmer Brown's throw a stone- and hurried the cow soshe fell." "No, no," said Johnny: "I nevrr told a lie, and 1 won't begin now. I'll toll father the truth. It was all niy fault! I was in a hurry, and I frightened tho poor creature, and she fell and broke her leg," So having taken his right and bravo re solve, Johnny ran home as if he was afraid the tempter would catch him, and he went straight to his father and told him the whole truth. And what did hu father do? Ho laid hU hand on J h.in, M lit av 1 and auid: My soil, uiy dear son. 1 would rather loso every cow I own than that tny boy should toll mo an untrnlh." And Johnny, though very sorry for the. mischief he had done, w as much, happier than if he tii'I lied to Fcreon himself, oven if he had never born fnund out. iNTinv.STtso to EuiToBa.

Being nnalilo, Iroin illness, to witness the inU'rcBiing ccrenu nies of tlie Decision, we aro indebted lo the Ediinr of the Banner, who was more fortunate in that regard and a friend, who was in attendance, for the following par culars: The occasion was the celebration of the fif tieth anniversary of the marriage of our old, well knonr, and esteemed fellow litizen, Oil. man Hrynnt, and his rospected lady, us it was alio tlio tnirtieth anniversary of the marriage of their eldest daughter, Mrs. G.

Esq., whose lady is the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ilrynut, and was heralded to the guests by tho follow- ing card: MARRIED: MARCH 2d, IcOO. OILMAN DIIYAST. ELIZADLTII THRIFT. GOLUEX WEDDING. J. W.MILLER A LADY, COMPLIMENTS, Wednesday Ewning, March 2, 1851) The pirly wis cutiipo-ied aim st exelu-lively of relatives, ntimberltigso e seventy per sons and embracing Jiveytytraliorti, vix : the remarkable mother ol Mr-!.'

Browning, nnd tho four children of Mrs. Taylor, Emma, Fannie, Geoigie & Eddie. At a given signal the company repaired lo the Dining Room to partake of tho Wedding 1 Suiper, which was rich, rare and abundant. Lion several cakes was beautifully iced names, devices and dates, and on the Bride's Cake a pair of delicate little doves in the act of billing. The company being seated, the Rev. Charles Hartly, of Ulica, Licking County. Ch'-plin of the occasion, 'jroso and pro nounced tne following beautiful and appropriate blessing: "lllesscd Savior: thou didst honor with thy presence tho marriage in Ca.ia of Galli-lee; we do beseech thco lo crown the present interview with thy presence nnd blessing.and bring us all at last to the Mu'riitgo Supper of the Lamb, in heaven; and we will praise thee forever. Amen." After feasting upon the gool thingt all returned lo tho parlors, when the parties directly participating were grouped in a Semicircle as follows: The Bride and Groom in the center, Mr. & Mrs. Browning and Mrs. Coleman on their right, Mr. & Mis. Taylor and their daughter Emma A Taylor on their left, thus presenting, in tho oldest born of each family, an unbinkcn chain of five generations, the eldest and youngest occupying the extremes of the figure. Thus placed, and with I lie Guests s'atiding around them, the Rev. Mr. Har'ly presented himself to the center group, nnd invoked tho blessing of Heaven upon all preswit in a very impressive prayer, afier which, in a most eloquent and feeling manner, he mode the fol lowing address: ItUMAMvS OF MR. I1ARTI.T Words fail me to express myself adequately n this interesting occusiuu, which is the fust I ever attended in my lite. I stand in the presence ol five generations! Here are tSoso upon whose brow time's s Iv y il List has been sprinkled; here, loo, is tbo in.in ol Inti. step and st- ady eye. rrjoicing in the high pi ime of a happy existence; brightest luvili-eU flowers sweet pledges .if att'ection. To your speaker ibis is a deeply interesting sevno, and I llinj Is- permitted to say, that life is the period G..d bus given us ns nil evidence of his goodness and long sulM-ring. The do-sign ol our years is. that, by a wi-e improvement of them, we may secure a blessed eter nity We are now to build a struoturu which is to hist foiever: now to form a character, and ai lire the prerequisites for an endless stalo ol being. Regenorntion ol heart and a title to heaven must Ikj secured. We waste nnd pervert our years il objects inferior lu these engross our energies. Varied, indited, are tlio circumstances of mankind; very diversified are those of the same individual. But there is onucliaracier-tstii which lollows us all through l:fu it in mercy. Mercies are seen ilowing to us in temporal bounties: mercies regarding our health, our strength ol body, our reason and all our domestic blessings, as also, mercies which stnnd related to the provisions of holiness and all our opportunities of salvation. Our years as the pages of a volume will be filled up by our actions, words and thoughts, and not one incidont in our lives, whether good or bad, be omitted. The history of some persons is made up chiefly of levity and foolishness. In tbo li-es of others we sea link after link of a chain of striking and instructive inci.ent. Such is especially 'he case in the history of the aged couple whose Goldun Wedding we havo met to celebrate. Kilty years of wedded life! of inseparable and constant love! Half a century ol mutual grief and joy 1 During all this time, then love has been faithful, constant and true-Through bow many of tbo toils nnd sorrows of life have this aged couple boon together? and to-day t..ey sit side by side in the possession of that pure esteem and nlt'cclion. which fifty yetrs ago, tboy pledged lo each other at tho altar of Hymen. Age fits with decent grace upou ouch visage, And worthily becomes their silvery locks) Each it mr the m irks of miuy years well spent, Of virtue, truth well tried, and wise experience." When timo brings us to the resting places of lilt. fund we all expiot them, and in ruin measure attain them.) w hen we pause to consider us ways, HtU'i y its imtwrt, and lo.k over the ground we have tnslden, is a bricbt spot 10 be found there? It is where thoflsro love has shed its beams Is a plant, or flower or anything visible? It is hero smiles have illuminated, and tears have blest the sul. where some lond eye met our own, and some endearing heart was Clasped to ours. Take these away, and what joy das memory in retrospection, or wliat tie. I light has hope in the prospect of the- future? We love to love. We live to love. It is the heart's food and nourishment, nnd the soul's sweetest happiness ami bliss. Some other being must bo blended with our own, or our own existence is objectless. our natures unavailing: and .hit h wanting which wealth, and honor, pomp and pride, or glory all togetiior. curinut rimlcr. This is the grand elixir of lifo, which sweeietiF, sustains, or.d perpetuates it. Tlie bosom which does not 'eel it is cold, the mind which does not conceive it is dull, the philosophy which rejects it is falso, and tho only true religion in the world has pure, reciprocal and undying love for its basis. " 01 thcro Is ono affection which no stain Of earth can evor darken; when two find, The soflor and tho manlier, that a chain Of kindred tastes has fastened mind to mind, 'Ti an attraction from all senso refined; The goad ean only know it; 'tis nut blind As lore is unto busouoss: its desiro or." Is but with hands entwined to liftourboinghigb. May the evening of the li'e of this ued couple pass aivay serenely and happily, and w hen the sun ol tneir earthly existence shall go down, tiny it set without a cloud, only to rise again amidst the glories ol a happier world, and to shine forever in mure elouJIess skies. The address closed, Mr. Har'ly advanced to Mr. & Mrs. Bryant and requested them to ioin hands, when the marriniru ceremony was reenacted in a moslsolemn and beautiful man ner the put ties renewed their pledges of love made 50 years ngo nnd tho gill.int Groom placed upon the linger ot his Bride, the Golden Ring, nsan cuibl.-m of the tiiunding duration of his ulTjclion then followed tlu congini illations and a general kissing of the hapoy pair, in which ancient custom the whole company participated with a zest that "smacked loudly" of the "olden time." Various "bridal presents" followed, among which were a beautiful ptir ot Gold Spectacles by a friend, a handsome cano by a grandson, J. B. Miller, a beau'i'.il painting by the daughter of tho hitter, little Jennie M iy, and by the two little daughters of Mr Sc Mrs. Taylor, a handkerchief, valuable only as a memorial, upon the center of which, in circular firm, was inscribed in indetiblo Ink the lollowing - Emma A.

Tho follnwinj is a brief sketch of tho history of this faimily: Hannah Moffett.thc great-groat giattd-mo'h- or, was born in Leesburg, London county. Virginia, on the 27th of February, 1772. lour years before the signing of tho Declaration of Independence. She i consequently now 87 yearsnfago. She was married to tho Rev-William I hrift, of Fairfax Va . in June.1791 and emigrated to what is now called Knox county, in 18()7. By this marriage she had twelve children eight of whom are slill living. Mrs D.ivnl Messenger. Mm. J B. Brown. and tho Bride of tho eve.iing being tho only one prose ut. Mr. Thrift was a Clergyman of the Baptist denomination, anil the first ministcrofthegns pel whosetil'd within tho hound of this ooun-ty. A Verbis death Mrs. T. married Joseph Coleman of this county, who is also deceased. by whom, however, she hd no offspring, EHz.bHh Thrift, tbo eldest daughter of Mrs CohMnan, was born Nov 13,1792, nnd was ii.arried to Gilman Bryant. March. 2d. 1809 precisely 50 years ago. By this mar riago were born twelve children, t-tgnt 01 whom are njw living, and of these were pres. enton Wednesday evening, Mrs Browning, Mrs Miller, and E. D ryeni; thero being three Sons and two daughters absent. There were also present Mrs. Emily War-ing Sc Mrs. C. M. Kclscy, daughter of Mrs. Messenger by a former husband nnd Gilman Messenger her son by the last martinge also Mis. Eliza Struble, grand daughter 01' Mrs Coleman, being a decel'dant ol her deceased daughter, Mrs. Hannah Wadsworth William, Jacob, Erastus and Klin, sons and daughter of Mrs. J. li. Brown, Gales Tlirill.son of Abso- lein Thrift, Esq , of Fredericktown. Two other daughters o 1 Mrs. Coleman, Mrs. Rachel Currof Louisiana and Mrs. Sallio Newell, of 1'indlty, Ohio, were represented by S. W. Burr, Esq , and Mrs. II. P, Wardeis son and daughter of the former, and Rev. S. Mower son in-law of the latter. Besides these there were present also, quite a hovt of other relatives.husbaneU and wives, child.en, grand-childten and great-grand children of the parlies above named, including 5 generation iu an oilier line of descent, through Mm. J W. Miller, her ton J. 11 Miller and his lillle daughter, Jennie May. By an enumeration, it is ascertained that the lineal descendants of Mrs Coleman reach t1B cxtrnordiiiary niiniUir of one hundred Si i sixty, of whom only 29 have deceased, ami ol these but 4 wera adults. Gilman Ilrtsnt was born in the State of Vermont in 1771. His father had served in the Revolutionary War, as a Lieutenant on- dor bii fiili.:i -111 law, 1X1. Guiuao of tha j New Uanbujo Line, lie on mo to Ohio (then called the Nmili Western Territory) with his father in 1797, and was engaged in boating on Lakn Erie until 1799, when ho mndu aimirney to Marl elta by way of hro, French Creek and the Allegheny river, in a canoe and H about. The early settlement of Marietta and vi- cinily. included very many of the Old Iti-vo liiiioiinry officers nnd soldiers. Iu December, 179!), news was received there, of the death of Gen. Washington, when a solemn proc s-sion Ich k place composed largely of those, his old companions in arms, ai U many a heartfelt tear bedewed the memory of that groat and good man, whom they had learned both lo love and rcvero. Mr. Biyiint was a witness ol that impressive scene, and listened also to tho fuiii-ial oration pronounced by Re. turn J. Meigs, on that occasion. Wb le iu that region, Sir. B. assisted in making tl brick used in I he construction of G v. Meig's I irgv brick mansion at M ir ctta buiug aim ng tho first private buildings of much note then and there erected, and w lreh, we believe, is still standing, a veneiable pile, fronting nn l ho broad common of that citv.

He came to Muunt Vernon on tho4lh of March, 1309, ni iking 1 lie journey most of tho way by cauue, ludencd w ith salt. There were but ihree families in Mt Vet non. when Mr. Btyaiit arrived bote. He soon 1 iu barked in the mercantile business being 1 In-first merchant in the place, and is proverbial to this day for his honesty and uprightness in 'ill the relations of lile.

Geiiileuien: Ji I undi-rstarid the report of be Treasury commit leu in regard lo myself, it consists substantially in thv expression of an opinion that when the Central Bank of In diana wiismgan Z'd, ISreslin was a stockholder in lao; lacausu be was lo have part of the slock taken by Judge Bowen and C. T.8her-unn, and that I knew o! such interest at the time, and also, kskw he would use the funds of the State toobtnin such interest; Now, this opinion i erroneous in every part and particular. I have little aoaotiint- ancewiih Mr. Breslin, nothing- more than a casual antf speaking amjrfaintanrw. I never had a word of corversininn with him in re- 1 gird to luisinesa. dirtt tlu tr it'iUrtctlg person ally or by an agent: an I if Ureslin had an u'n- derslandii g with any i-tnckh.ilder in (he Con tral bank at ihe time of i:a organiaitmu, tha he was to own any part of it stock, I did not know it. The Unit was org- niiai! hf JvA Cowe C T. Sherman, William 8t urges and my a l, in ihe tall ef 1853. in Ibe city of N. Yotk, where I waa then doing business for Mr. &wt-gese.

Thi transfer was forwarded imiO'erKatoly to Indianapolis', with orders to have it made upon the b-'ibks of the Batik, and in the public 1 Sires. It was for sometime withheld, but against my ordure-and without niy consent. At that time I lived in NVw York, and never bad ny part i' the management of the lank. I never knew of any trans-er of slock te' 6reslin; was never curt tilted about er informed of SiVch t'ratW'er. ff any of 1 be atotklinld- - .. . t . f. - . era received money from Hrf-lmt woawitbl- out any knowledge or privity of mine, nor had I any more power in prevent it than any mem-lerof ihe Committee of Investigation. I venture to assert 'bat I am as free from any business connection with Breslin in any way, nnd nil ways, as either member of the committee, ahdf 60 dnS doubts their parity, I pmS'iine. , . I cannot tee what basis thecoroniitiee'hfcve for the opinion they have expressed in' regard to me. 1 ubdierstand that the evideree of Judge Brown and Mr. Sherman shows that Crosiin was not interested wben'the bank was organized, and I publish herewith a' letter from Mr. Smrges, showing that neither he nor myself had any knowledge of such iutef est, if any such in fact existed. I havo never been requested by the Cora niitlue to appear before thcio, and eutil their report appeared I'lelt wananted in believing that they would uot venture to eliarge any one iu so important a miller without giving notice.
