"Who hath wo? who hath sorrows7 The

{" o tempt me not to the drunkard's drangh.,
With its soul.consuming CLEAN!
o hide me from the woes that waft
Around the drunkard's dream!
When night in holy silence brings
The God.willpd hour of sleep.
Then, then the rcd.eyed revel swings
Its bowl of poison deep.
When morning waves its golden hair,
And smiles DER hill and lea.
Our sick'ning ray is doomed to glare
On yon rude revelry.
The rockets fairy moment sped.
Sinks black ming back to earth ).
Yet darker-deeper sinks,his head
Who shares in drunkard's mirth
Know We the sleep the diunkard knows?
That sleep, . who may tell
Or who can speak the 6endlul throes
Ofhis selc-heated hell
The soul all relt Of heavily mark
Defaced Gods image there
Rolls down and down. yon abyss dark
To thy bowling home, Despair!
Or bedded his head upon broken hearts,
Where Shiny reptiles creep,
While the ball.less eve of Death still darts
Black fire on the druhkard's sleep.
And 10 their coffin'd bosoms rife,
That bled in his ruin wild
The cold, cold lips Of his shrouded vile,
Press lips of his sllrouded child!
So fast-so deep the hold they keep
Hark his unhallow'd scream!
Guard us. D God, fiom the drnrkard's sleep
From the drunkasds demon.dream!

BoMMER's MANURE METHOD PUT IN

PRACTICE.
We extract the following certificate of
the value of,he manure made by Sommer's
process from the last number Of the Guilt
yaror.-We have in our own possession
the most satisfactory testimonials of its eff
ficiency in producing speedy decompos'-
lion. and of the apparent value of the man
ure. But nobody hereabouts has ye, had
an opportunity oflesling its effects upon
crop; although no one who has seen The
manure after il is made, seems to have any
doubts upon this point. As far as our in-
formation and experience can 60, the time
reonired to produce perfec, decomposition
is rather underated on course different
materials will be longer or shorter in rot
ting, but we rather think that the average
will require from four TO six weeks.-But
our information is drawn from experiments
made during the last summer, when the
process was undoubtedly much retarded
bv the excessive rains for which the season
was so remarkable.

Mr.. EDITOR: desire TO notice through the
columns of your paper-a new event in The an
nails Of the county, marking an era Of refnmen,.
refer 10 the concert of vocal and instrumental
music, last Friday evening at Pia,tevle.-
This concert was organized and harmonized,
through the exerions of Thomas Eastman of
Plattville; who, as he has clearly demonstrated
in the result of his unrecompensed abors there,
in changing chaos into harmony, isa com.
plete master of the science of Music. The
performance was-I will not say good il was
admirable. The performers were all citizens of
Platville. The performers were such as would
do credit to the musical talent Of any town !;
and infinitely surpassed anything of the kind
that could be expected in little frontier WILL
age, where so lately fingered the echoes of.he
war whoop. As citizen of the county feel
proud there is here the talent TO execute and
the taste TO appreciate such music. Where
The public can listen with delight TO the en-
chanting strains of the opera, Riot, Ruffan-
ism and Rascaity will soon reform. or 90 TO
Texas. Music is indispensable to soften, re-
fine, and humanize our species. 1t has every
day, queled a thousand violent tempers, and
checked thousand fell purposes. Show me
naton without music and will show you a
nation without morals. Ii would be invidious
TO mention the names Of performers who excel
led in the concert, where all did SO well; yet
| ,ciN say; that when any violnist in this world
plays finer minuet than. The Cuckoo min

FIRE.-On Saturday night last, our citizens
were aroused from their SAUNDERS at the dead
hour Of midnight, by the cry of fire Upon
looking OUT, they were al no loss TO discover
from whence proceeded the alarm and the d.
rection of the fire, as the rear of large two
story house occupied by B. F. FORBES. as a
Hotel and Post Office, was enwrapped 10
flames. which illuminated the surrounding
country in a manner awfuly grand! thought
of trying to combat The devouring element. SO
fir had it got The ascendency, would have
been preposerous; so the first thought was 10
SEQ that its inmates had all escaped, and then
TO save as much as possible Of the furniture.
But so rapidly spread the flames that but
few of the movabIes could be reached, and 1t
WINS through smoke, fire and the chamber win
dows without rag on but their night clothing
that several escaped the confiagra'lon. The
house was built Of wood, and was OF light
materials, and was quite comn,odious. 1t was
owned by j. d. -SpALpING, the publisher oil
this paper, and Mr.. FoRBEs, who occupied 1t.
There was no insurance on either house or fur
ni,ure. The Post Office was saved entire
The loss OF Mr.. Forbes, is very severe, proba'
bly,, near $4,000. II is supposed that the fire
originated from hole in the chimney which
was stopped with rags--lhis should serve as
a caution TO all never TO adopt the dangerous,yet
quite common custom, of stopping chimney
fues aud pipe.holes with combusible matter.
