college with one Of her white stockidgs on one
leg, and one Of his own black ones on the 9TH

turned round, begged her pardon, and hoped
she was not hurt. AT other times he would
run against post and chde it for not getting

set these matters fairly before them to secure an

wives and children who formerly had no en-

was time when on account Of some minor
objections felt bound to withhold my name

well-conyinced Of their utility since determin-

forth every exertion in my power, TO advance

Having spent several days in this fourishng

be a source Of qualification. entertainment and
instruction to your numerous readers TO give
a brief account OF my visit. Although ! am
no stranger here. having, previous to last
March, lived here year, must confess, not
withstanding. that SO great have been the recent
Improvements in the town, and so considerable
the accession to the population as TO render the
place one Of new interest to me. AS walk
through the streets which only few months
ago were but opening, behold large and state
ly dwellings together with some of more hum
BILE character which have arisen so suddenly
that one would almost suppose they had drop
ped from the clouds. And such improvements
are not confined to any particular portion Of
the town. From the "Narrows" to the mouth
OF Wills Creek, on "Cour House Hill" in
"Caaada, ""Shantee town." and in the bust
ness part Of the town "ffom the centre all
around" 70 the suburbs these specimens Of in
dustry and thrift and have been erected. Really
one becomes cheerful in spite OF himself, in
looking over place SO prosperous and busy.

OBITUARY.

Died at Cincinnati, Ohio, on the lst inst,
Of disease of the heart, Doctor John H. Win
trode Of Hanover, Pa, in the 25th year Of his
age. The deceased was student of the Gin
cinnal College, and after taking his degree,
established himself there and by his obliging
manners and correct department, soon won the
esteem Of all and he had gained very lucra
tive practice, when cut off BY the relentless hand
of death, and "consigned to an early tomb" !"
Words would be inadequate TO express his
worth, and we would merely add, that he was
the idol of large circle of relatives and friends,
as well as youth who promised to be one OF
the first in his profession.

LINES TO THE SAME.
BY NJ. w. P.

Sweet mother cease thy anguish
Dear father dry that tear!
Your little angel Mary now,
Will have no ills to fear.
| have fonder mother,
A Father TOO on high;
And would you call me back again2
Or even draw one sigh2
All, no my fond dear parents.
Before the Altar bend,
And let your hearts be reconciled, I
To all that God may send!
Your babe, they robed most sweetly,
And decked it with fair flowers;
But would those flowers bloom fot years
All! no, not e'en for hours
They thought they would around my bro,
More lasting ones entwine,
Still these were but an emblem faint,
Of beauties that are mine
Upon my little bosom,
Dear father, did you lay,
A picture Of my mother sweet,
Who snatched your babe away!
My heavenly Father sent me,
To crown your earthly Joy,
And then he called me home again,
Where earth cannot annoy.
My little form is now coffin'd,
IN darkness meath the clay;
But oh my angel spirit lives,
In Gods eternal day!el
And.now my dearests parents,
Your grief and tears must cease;
And pray that you may be pre- pared,
TO meet the God Of peace.
Upon my little grave Ma,
Oh cultivate one flower;
And letit be the virgin rose,
The purest from the bower
And should the marble shadow,
The place of my repose,
Let no sad grief be there inscribed,
To blight the blooming rose!
But should tear Of grief fall,
Above my little head,
Oh let it be for those that live,
But weep not for the dead
