Caution.

We have heard several complaints Of
our citizens about the carelessness Of
the numerous hunters about town.
Game is so very abundant that almost
every man and boy is tempted to try
his skill in quail and squirrel killing.
In addition to the danger Of these hun
tiers shooting each other. many dis
charge their guns SO near the dwellings
of our citizens on the edge of town
that the shot frequently strike the hous'
es. We learn that one of Mr. Kelley's
children was accidentally shot by such
unwarran.able carelessness on Tuesday
evening last.

When sleep her visionsd realm unbars
To thoughts which own its sweet control
And silently the midnight stars
Watch DER the vigils of the soul,
And worldly wish intrudeth not
Nor care an envious shadow filings
But DER the hearts secluded spot
A spirit waves its noiseless wings.
A subtle spell comes on my brain.
My very pulse with JOY is mute,
As. soothingly. thy voice again
Comes breathing like summer lutte.
How does thy vivid image glow
In the pure mirror of those streams
Which all unseen and tranquil flow
To feed the unsealed fount Of dreams.
