MOURNFUL PLEASURE.

VI \ A-6AoSA>-
To watch The young mind, cen as il buds out,
PM forth many a irui,-bearing sprout;
To see lofty intellect flash in The eye,
Col,ring all Nature with Fancy's rich dye;
Tben see the cold hand OF fierce Death freeze ITS
bliss;
Oh where is there pleasure SO monrnful as this!
To see the rich Sun in bright splendor arise,
Refreshing The fountains and eladdenins Inc SKIES
Tinging the East with roseate hue,
And kissing the flowers all sparkling with dew,
Then view angry clouds rob the sweets rom i''
kiss;
Oh, w!.ere is there pleasure 50 monrnfnl as this
To see The young heart when affections hTsl blush
Tiuges The cheek in its reddenine sush;
To mark all Loves confidence beam The bright
eyes;
And view the sof, breas, heave with rap,urous
sighs;
Then see chilling poverty cheatit bliss
Oh where is there pleasure go mournful as ms
Tomark heart wither beneath the cold blight
OF love unrequed TO see The black night
Which settles upon it, burst forth 10 Storm,
Deadening The soul, and blasting the iorm
No hope in The future Of pan-enduring bliss
No agony can be more fearful Than this.

You come when the evening is closing,
And YOU say that you love me then;
You stay while the flowers are reposing,
And you swear you're The iondest OF men;
But when the broad glitter Of day
Alures you away with the gay,
All, then your affection is doing,
And you dream not 10 love me again.
o, mine is a deeper emotion,
And looks for tonder return;
And whatever may be your DEVOTION,
Ye, mine must unchanseably burn.
AS deep and as broad as The sea
Mus, The love of a fond woman be,
Yet wild as the waves Of the ocean,
When doomed Of deception to learn!
You come in the day of my splendor,
Before nv Young beauty 10 bow;
But in my decay will You render
The homage you pay TO me now?
o, ne'er in the bloom OF her morn
Is ma den left ever forlorn;
But when years implorea defender.
Tickle man often falls from his VOW
Come, come when the daylight is leaving
The stars OF the eveHng 10 shine,
And saw that in gladness or grieving
You will ever and ever be mine,
And thine through all Joy or all shame
Thine, thine with passionate flame;
Yes, cen though knew thee deceivlng,
O. still must ever be thine!

EDITORIAL CONVENTION.

We cordially second the motion OF our ne'gh'
bors Of the Times in their proposition 10 remove
an evil, which we have daily reason 10 complain
of. What is the remedy? II is obvious that lhe
conioined action Of the press is necessary 10 car
~ out the reform, and we respectfully Suggest
Convention Of the Editors of the whole State, %
regulate this and other important matters Much
benefit 10 The moral and pecuniary condition o.
the press must flow from such an assemblaSe OF
Editors, "lrcsh from The people" A personal ac'
quainlance will tend to nfuse good feeling into
Editorial campaigns and impart high tone and
salutary influence 10 the Virginia press. More
over, a calm and free discussion Of the resour-
ces and wants OF The different sections OF the
Stale, which each Editor is supposed TO be &C
quaintcd with, may result in some general, well
diges,ed scheme for the moral and physical re-
generation of the Stale. We throw out the sns-
gestion for the consideration of the fraternity OF
"black letter :"
1--WE have been for some time impressed with
The conviction, that the system Of yearly adver-
ising'-peeuliar we believe, 10 the American
press-is full OF defects and ought 10 be entirely
abolished. Ii works great injury 10 publishers,
and impairs the vigor and value OF newspapers,
10 an extent not appreciated BY those who have
not turned their attention to il. II is this system
which enlarges the newspapers, without enars-
ing their profits, or increasing their inlerest-an
effect which may we'll be compared 10 dropsy-
and its abolition would be alike beneficial, in our
opinion, TO publishers and the public, whether
readers or advertisers We invite The attention OF
the profession TO the subject"

Yesterdays Petersburg Republican contains
long and handsome obituary OF the Rev. Andrew
syme, d. D., the father of the Editor Of the Pc
tersbnrg Inelleencer. This venerable man, 10
whom so many Of our citizens are indebted for
their education and moral training, died on Sun
day, the 26th instant in the ninetgsecond year OF
his age. His solemn and warning voice il no
longer heard in The aOid Brick Church" in Blan-
ford, whose ivy.covered walls still resist The hand
of Time. We extract from the beautiful tribute
OF the Petersburg Republican sketch Of The life
and death OF This good old man, The actor in SO
many interesting scenes long since passed away
aThe death of The Oldest citizen in orr town, the
oldest minister in our Commonwealth, and one
of the best and puresl men that ever lived, is no
| common occurrence, no ordinary occasion. Il
sweeps over the heart like the dry winds OF The
desert and stills The soul with lis awful soiemni-
". The young the middle aged the old may
die, and be buried; and yet others may rise up
and take their places, and all be bright and hap
pv again. But when The man of four score years
and ten, the holy Patriarch, dies, his children
look around In vain for one 10 fill his place.
| Such is our condition how. Doctor, or as he
was more generally known by ALL Parson Syme,
| is no more! He was born in Lanarsshire, Scot
land 10 September OF the year l754-between
the years 1890 and 1900 he came TO The town OF
Petersburg, where he resided till the day Of his
death As Teacher he was industrious and
useful; as a Pastor OF the Protestant Episcopal
| church, he was affectonalc and kind; as Minis
ter, he preached the 'pure doctrines OF The religion
of Christ" and as Citizen, he was esteemed and
beloved Enemies, he had none; and The mourn
ers who will this afternoon attend his body 10 its
las, resting place, will testify 10 the number OF his
friends. Solemn, bultriump hant occasion! The
devoted servant Of God, who has, for nearly hall
century, been engaged in preaching 'unsearcha-
| BILE riches to sinful world-whose vocation was
10 comfort the distressed, 10 strengthen The weak
minded, to minister ont Of the treasury OF his
| Master unto the necessities of The poor, 10 rebuke
the proud to alarm the wicked, to encourage the
responding, to console the dying--in word to
be all things 10 all men'-this holy man has al
last been called upon TO give evidence of the re-
| atty, and TO enjoy the triumphs of that faith
which he has preached unto others; and now,
that same voice from HeaYen' which ST. John

We are glad 10 see, by the following statement
in the Augusta Constilulionaisi, that Mr.. Gar
nett was not SO seriously injured by the Railroad
collision as was represented by The first accounts.

practical information Mr.. Stockton Is probably
a son OF the Governor Of Delaware:
1.-THE accident upon The State Road IS miles
above Marietta, which occurred last Tuesday
night, is very shocking one-but the first ac-
conn,s we received were exaggerated. The cars
which were transporting iron to be laid down,
came in contact on their return TO the Depot
with car loaded with iron which had been left
on the road The Conductor, Mr.. Highsmilh,
had his leg SO badly manged, that it was neces-
sary 10 amputaie it. Ii is thought that he cannot
survive The Chief Engineer, Mr.. Garne,i, SUI
tered a simple fracture OF the thigh bone. He is
dong well. Mr.. Stockton jumped of the plat
form he was standing on, al the moment of the
collision, and received so violent a jar, that he
was picked up insensible, and was delirious for
more than day after. He has since recovered
his mind, and may get well. He received no ex-
lernaI confusion but il is feared that he has sus-
tanned internal injury, which renders his situation

REAp,Na WHEAr "DEAp RlpE"-It has been

the experiments lately tried, it appears that one
crop, which was cul Aug. 4th. yielded, when
,hrashed, 6ls per quarter another, reaped Aug.
18th, yielded Gas. per quarter; and another, cut
Sept Isl, yielded 52s. per quarter. Three other
experiments produced similar results, and the
quantity OF flour produced was relatively so, II,

as well as most other crops, should be gathered a
