'Tis twenty years. Yes, twenty years
Have fled into the past!
Oh twenty long and weary years,
Since beheld thee last
They say that time has brushed away
The brightness from thy cheek,
And that thy light and ringing laugh
Is more subducd and meek!
'Tis twenty years! Yes, twenty yearss
But can ns'er forget,
How Eden-like thy presence mada
. The places where we met
And, as the murmur Of the deep,
The sea shell De'er forsakes,
Thy gentle voice within my heart
Its sweetest echo wakes.
IT'S twenty years! Yes, twenty years!
But thy beloved face,
Is mirrorcd in my memory yet
In all its girlish grace;
And thou art still the same to mo
Thine eye as brightly blue
Thy cheek as warm, thy lip as red,
Thy heart as kind and true!
'Tis twenty years Yes, twenty years!
And other eyes may see
A shade upon thy polished brow,
Invisible TO me-!
see thee slill with charmed eye,
And time has not erased
A single line, single tint,
That young affection traced!

Sra: In conjunction with several other members
Of the Medical profession | gave you, some years
since, certificate Of the good quality Of your
Mineral Water. With "a commcndabe jealousy Of
your own works. lest confidence in their abiding
good reputation should have led to neglect you have
again applied to me for an analysis of several spsc
mems Of Mineral Water, purporting to have been
made after different methods by different persons,
the particulars of which were not furnished, the only
distinction apparent being in the color Of the botes
have examined the several specimens submitted,
and find as follows: The water in the soste glass
bottles is free from all impurities that in the green
bottles contains sensible quantity Of suphnrc acid
which is evident to the smell and taste, well to
the proper chemical tests. From recent inspec-
ton OF your process led to the conviction that
the only impurities which could possibly gain
to the water were lead and sulphuric acid. OF lead
find no traces whatever in any Of the bottles tue
amount Of sulphuric ac'd present in the green bottles
though small is Objectionable and must be regarded
as an mpurity, as the Mineral Water processes to be
free from all such admixtures. l therefore certify
that the Mineral Water contained in the white bot.
ties sent to was pure, and in my opinion saluta-
ry while that in the green bottles impure and
unfit for common beverage.

Railroad News.

The depot of our railroad was located far out OF
town, for the accommodation of gentlemen who de-
sired speculate upon lots, that seldom get over
TO it and as no one connected with it realizes the
proprety of furnishing items of intelligence concern
ing it, not much to advertise the hours of
departure prices of passage and freight, any thing
else, have to depend upon some lucky accident to
learn any thing connected with the concern. What
pity that Mr.. BEEcHER had not been made president
of the company! He would have made things move
about right, we know; for he is blessed with indus
try, common sense, and energy, if nothing else.
What folly it is, for instance to start trains at
o'clock in the morning With proper management
they could just well start al 8. As to freight
every body grOwls. Accidents plenty enough, al
any rate. On Wednesday, last week, new locomo-
tive was knocked in pieces by running against tree
which had been blown upon the track; damage S4OC
or $500. On Saturday last, we are informed by a
gentleman, that the off the track Oh
twice, and the axle of tender was broken. Other
accidents may have occurred but if so, nothing has
been said about them, as one, so far as we know
has been killed
We had written on this subject; but as We
wish to show that the public is somewhat at fault as
well the Road managers, and not being in the hu
fill up what is left unsaid, we postpone it fo
the present
