SABBATH EVENING AT HOME.

SABBAIH IL EVENlNG "A HUME.
When Sabbath bells have ceased their sound,
And the hours of day are passed,
And twilight drawn its curtain round,
And shadows gather fast.
There is one spot, and one alone,
Round which our hearts most cling,
And fondest memories, one by one,
Their choicest treasures bring.
That spot is Home, its sacred walls
Admit no discord then,
Nor crowded marts. nor festive halls,
Nor gayest haunts of men,
Can know joy SO sweet and pure
Nor such to them is given;
Might joys like these for aye endure,
This earth were quite a heaven
I've wandered far 'mong other bowers
Than those my childhood knew,
With hope of gathering fairer flowers
Than in those gardens grew
Yet in the cold worlds earnest throngs-
Mid its din and stormy strife,
Affection turns to scenes and songs
Of my young joyous life.
Homes well-loyed group! It's Sabbath song,
Its tones l seem to hear;
Though borne full many league along,
They come distinct and clear.
o Sabbath night o treasured home!
Fond pride Of memory S train
And thoughts of ye, where e'er | roam,
Shall bring my youth again.
A SATISFACTORY EXPLANATION.
You ask me, love, how many times
think of you, day;
frankly answer. only once;
And mean just what say.
You seem perplexed, and somewhat hurt,
But wait, and hear the rhyme:
Pray, how can one do, more than once,
What one does, all the time?

Coop HIT.-The Cincinnati Times opens
richly in the joke telling line. The fol-
lowing anecdo,e of skin-nint is not badly
done -
A certain tight fs,ed old codger Of this
city happened in a, Fosters Philosophical
instrument manulaclory few weeks since,
where he was shown the Lords Prayer
engraved on space sbou. the size Of five
cent piece with which he was well pleas
ed. Returning home, he related the circum-
cums,ance TO his family, and prodg.l (?)
son coming into The sitting room The fol-
lowing en>ued -
"My son. would you suppose that the
Lords Prayer could be engraved in space
no larger than the area Of haIf-dime ,"
s'Well-yes, father, if half dime is as
large in everybody's eye as in yours,
think there would be no difficulty in putting
i, on about four times.

GEORGETOWN AND ITS AFFAIRS.


GEoRoETowN. July 1O-l2 m.
I was pleased to see, this morning, that
friend Williamson, of the Reporter, is trying to
arouse our citizens to the propriety of making
some effort to secure portion of the coal trade.
Our capitalists seem to need something to
arouse them to sense of their duty to them
selves and our town in this particular. Before the
canal was completed we had a number of town
meetings; speeches were made upon the sub
ject, and plans were proposed for it's &C
commodation, and every one seemed to be
alive to the Importance of the subject. But
since its completion quite o change has come
over US; instead of that interest formerly
manifested, we are content to fold our arms in
indifference, and see boat after boat to the num-
Der of twenty to fifty per week, heavily laden
with the article, pass by us and land their rich
cargoes in Alexandria. This is to be regretted,
not simply on account of the coal and other
produce they bring into the market, but the
large amount of merchandise they purchase and
take away with them for it is fact, and one
that may not be known to our merchants gene
rally that the most of these boats take back
with them, for different points on the canal
from one to twenty tons of merchandise of diff
ferent kinds.
Keep the matter before our citizens, Mr.. Re-
porter, until they are brought to act in the
premises, and not let the time for making pro-
vision for golden harvest pass by unimproved.
AT Forrest Hall tonight the Young Mems
Dramatic Association intend giving another of
their rich entertainments, and l have no doubt
that to-night's performance will far surpass any
that has preceded it. Besides the drama, two
original songs on the Bloomer dress, composed
by two rival poets of Georgetown, will be sung
by two members Of the Association. The
known character as poets Of the gentlemen
who composed the songs is sufficient guar
antee that they are rich
Our town is rather barren of news at the
present time. In the -four and grain market
there is nothing doing Flour remains firm at
$4.O64@$4.129.
