When | was bu, eiddy youth,
Now many years ago
Before my glossy locks were touched,
With times unmelting snow
The fire Of love within my breast.
Burned warm, and bright. and clear
And blissful slghs oft famed the flame.
For many a hopeful year.
Before the alter, Christmas day,
We stood. in Joy and pride.
But wa, not the bridegroom then,
Aud Mary not the bride;
For others stood between US there,
The magic ring TO Try,
And twelve months yet, before our turn
Must ali pass slowly by.
They passed-and where was Mary then
My first and only love?
Bright angels called her to parake
OF purer joys above.
The hearthstone Of my weary heart
Has since grown dark aud cold,
And memory's long. tear.rus,ed chain
Asserts that am old.
Yes am old. and when my ears
Are .hrobing with the sound
OF Joyous greetings by young lips,
So lightly passed around,
The ghosts Of long passed youthful JOYS,
From haunted shadows start.
And hold mourhful revelry
Within the old mans heart.
And now though Christmas day is gone
And spring tide warmth revives the cart
Ny winter thoughts still linger on,
And Christmas grieis forbid all mirth
When, then by chance amidst the gay
The old mans whitened head appears
LIE, grief un,ainted. 90 its way
Remember Christmas and its tears.

OBITUARY.

Mrs. NANCY GALLOWAY. died May
20, 1855, at the residence Of her son, in Ca
margo, Tennessee, in the 72d year of her
age. She was n native of Lancaster Dis
trict, South Carolina, principally raj ,ed in
York and connected herself in her youth
with the Church at HopcweIl, Chester Dis
trict, South Carolina. Marrying, she moved
to Maury County, Tennessee, in 1895, and
thirteen years after, TO Lincoln, and settled
in the Prosperity Congregation.
Hers was not only an emigrant, but
afflicted life. Fifteen years ago, she lost her
husband-since,a daughter and srn, and for
long time, had enjoyed but feeble health.
She raised an excellent family and has gone
to hei reward, leaving the savor OF pious
example to encourage them to follow in her
footsteps. Emphatically, "another Ia Israel +"
has been gathered To her fathers 10 good
old age, and like n shock Of corn in lis sea-
son. As she lived, she died believer in
Jesus. Blessed are the dead which die in
the Lord, from hcneeforh yea saith the
spirit, that they may rest from their labors
and their works do follow them"

Hollo,rdys Ointn. nj and Pills have effect.
ed another wonderful cure of sore legs.
Anthony Harrison Scard, of Mar,insbuTg
Virginia, was a sufferer for twenty-eig6t
years, from sore legs, so bad at times, that
human nature could scarcely bear IT, as they
were covered with wounds and proud flesh.
His friends had given up all hopes of his
ever regaining the use Of his limbs, rs he
was in so pitiable a state, the more cspe-
cially rs tho Doctors told him it was con-
slitutional. Having heard from several peo-
pie, the good effects Holloway's Pills had
produced in cases of this nature, he made
mp his mind to give them n trial; after
using them for few weeks, he felt much
better, and by continuing them for two
months and half, he was perfectly cured
after buing 2s years a cripple, and consider.
ed beyond human aid.

Pic Mic at Feasterville-Mr.B Boyce's
Views on Know Nothingism.

We have 10 regret that circumstances
prevented us from attending the Pic Mic
at Feasterville. We had been favored
witt, a apressing invitation, which We would
most cheerfully have complied with, had
II been M our power so to do.
II affords us much qualification to learn
that II passed off most pleasantly.
Speeches on temperance were delivered
by Messrs. Wilkes and Clarke-which
we have heard E,vorably commented upon
by those opposing, as well AS by those
favoring, their views.
Our representative, Sr Boyce was pre-
sent, and yielding to the solicitation Of u
number Of bis constituents, delivered an
able and effective speech against the
Know Nothing order. His position was
assumed with bolduess and decision; and
susintained with temperatures but firm
ness. He favored union at the South Oh
the Georgia pla,form-and declared that
he distrusted any good could result to
Southeru institutions from Nu order known
TO have originated in Massachusetts
Our whole Congressional delegation is
now united Ia opposition to tue imposi.
ton Of any civil disability on account of
birth or religion.
We hope that We will have the pleas
ureof submitting the whole Of Mr.. Boyce's
remarks in full to our readers.
