Reflections on the Approach Of Winter.


Depending Nature droops her head,
And shrlnks before the northern bias:
The trees their {" leaiy honors" shed,
And Autumn's glory flies in haste.
From Zemba's cold and dreary shores,
Bleak winter comes with rapid ST. ides,
OF storms he brings his various stores,
And pours them down the mountain sides
., Man behold the year decay,
And cast thought on seasons gone;
Thy spirit, TOO, must wing her way
10 realms al distan, ard unknown.
The fading glory Of the year
Should hid thee think upon thy doom
Thou canat not tell the day how near,
Which lays thee in the silent tomb!
Winter may clothc in white the plain.
And bind in ice the limpid stream,
But genial spring dispels bis reign,
And wakens Nature from her dream.
An when thy morn of youth is fed,
No second spring to thee returns;
When age with snow shall crown thy head,
The lamp of life but family burns.
Then be prepared to meet thy COP;
Let not thine eyes be fixed on earth;
But upward look to that abode
v here love eternal claims its birth.
Years may in swift succession roll,
And each its full iruition bring;
But hat immortal spark-TAE sorL,
Shall flourish in perennial Spring.

SAVANNAH, JUNE 11.-Extract Of let
ter from Understanding to the editor of
the Savannah Republican, dated June 10,
1929. ssDear sir-Col. Cumming and
Mr.. M'Dufiie met at eight O'clock last
Saturday morning near the Sisters Ferry,
in South Carolina. At the word fire !
Mr.. M'Duffie put his load in the ground
about midway of himself and Col. Cum
ming. From the peculiar manner in
which M'Duffiie stood, with his back to-
wards Cumming, he was shot just above
the hip, in the side, and instantly fell. A
little more powder in C's pistol, and
M'Duffie would have been killed on the
spot. The ball has not been found, and
it is not yet known whether he will re,
cover. Mr.. M'Duffie was carried after
receiving the wound, to Mr.. S,afford's
about Eve miles from the field of action,
at which place, by the last accounts re-
ccived, he still remained. A day or two
more and his fate will be decided.
