Gold has recently been discovered in
considerable quantities,in Burke county. A
merchant from Morgsntown last week
brought to this town, for the purpose OF
procuring it fluxed, eight or nine hundred
dollars worth of gold, gathered in small
quantities during this spring,in Burke coun-
ty. Ii was oil found in alluvial enrth, either
on the borders, or IN the beds Of small
streams Of water. 1t is in fine PARTICLES,
and il is familarly known as "brancb gold"
We understand that, as yet, science and
practical skill in mining, have not been ap.
piled to the business in Burke.
While in Morgantown q few weeks back,
we learned that quicksilver,n its pure state
is found in that county, in sufficient quanti-
in amslgamating their gold.

STANZAS.


The gun il in the West,
The stars arc on the sea-
Each kindly hand I've press'd,
And now--farewell to thee
Our cup Of parting's done,
'Tis the darkest 1 can SIP,
And I've pledged them every one,
With my heart, and with my lip;
But came to thee the last
That in sadness we might throw
One long look o'or tho past
Together,- ,--ore 90.
] met thee in my spring,
When my heart was like tho fly
That on its airy wing
Sports tho live-long summer by;
loved thee with the love
ofa wild, and burning boy,
Thy being was inwove
With my grief-and with my joy;
Thou vert to me q star,
In tho silence Of the night
A thing to see from Tar,
With felr-and delight.
The hour ofjoy is gone--
Whom man and man depart,
The deop.wrung hand alone
May tell the anguish'd heart,
No tear may stain the oys,
And their parting look must DO
Like the stiffness in the sky,
Ere the storm hath swept the sea,
But when wo say farewell
TO her we love the best,
One bitter tear may swell
Nor shame the stoutost breast.
Iwould not TINT my namo
Should ever meet thine ear,
l.have smiles for mems ncclnim:--
For their consure, not ioar:---
Nor would |, wben thy home
Looks joyously md bright,
That tho thought Of me should como
To saddcn thy delight:
would dwell thing apart
For thy spirits to oescry,-
a brightness on thy heart
A shadow on thine eye.
When the wine cup circles round,
will quaf il with the rest,
But thy namo shall never sound
At the revcl, or the feast:
But with him who shares my heart,
When tho banquet is lone,
In one deep cup, ere we part,
We will pledge thoe--lovely ono!
Thy nnme I'll mnrmur then
With prayer, if hcav'n allow,
That meet thee once again
As close as ! do now.
Beloved one---farewoll!
And though no hope be given,
Thy name shall be a spell
To turn my thoughts to Heaven;
And thy memory to mo.
What tho dew IS to the roso,
II shall ccue as gratefully
IN the hour Of my roposo.
], shall be--what il has besn---
A lamp within a tomb
TO burn tho all unseen,
TO light--tho' but gloom.
When the shade is on thy dwelling,
And the murmur on thine ear,
When tho breeze is round thee swelling,
And the landscape Oakland drear,
Whom no lover is beside thee
TO llattor--nnd to smile,
When thero be none to guide thee,
And many to beguile,--
When wither'd is the token,
And all unlink q tho chain,--
With faith unwarp d. unbrokon,
NAV kneel to thee again.

HYPOCRISY.

Thinkst thou there are serpents in the world
But those who slide along the grassy sod,
And sting the uckess foot that presses them
There are who in the path of social life
Do bask their spotted skins in Fortunes sun,
And sting the soul ,-ay, till its healthtul frame
Is chang'd to secret, fostering, sore disease
So deadly is the wound. Joanna Bastfte.

who were somewhat injured, four of them although
not dangerously, yet much hurt, and three more who

no more. General Elijah Combs, and Mr. Shadrack

DEATH.
He was ta'en ere his spirit
BY sorrow was wrung,
Ere hope had beguiled it,
Or treachery stung,
Ere the germ of corruption
He carried within
Had reared in his bosom
The upas of sin.
And thou, misjudging man!
Who wouldst chain down his fee
To the rough path of life,
Hast thou found it so sweet
Look back on thy journey,
Its joys and its pain,
And say would'st thou travel
The bleak waste again
Go, quernlous man!
Bow thy head in the dust,
And know, the DEGREES
Of thy Maker are just.
I was born of the wrath
Thy offences drew down,
And thou reap'st but the fruit
Thy rebellion hath sown.
Yet an ark is provided
To which thou mayst flee,
In the Saviour who triulnphed
O'er Satan and me.
Then wake, dreamer, wake,
Ere thy passing bell toll,
From that perilous slumber.
The sleep of the soul.
