NJ MRS. N. A. DENSIsos.

Now, Doctor said a sweet-faced girl,
looking with confidence into the kind face
that had bent over her SO often, tell me, is
there any certainty that shall ever recover?

him, saying:
No, no, doctor that won't do | must have
your professional opinion; and when ] say
that my souls happiness, for the remnant of
this life, will be affected by your decision,
surely you will grant me this request
But could you bear
Anything, doctor, but this suspense !
am willing to be told the exact state of the
case; for, you see, some days l feel so really
well. that my hope is unduly excited, and
again, when the sleepless hours and terrible
pains come, death takes an awful shape, and
frightens me out of repose. But if | was
certan'-she spoke with solemnity-'I / would
teach my mind to dwell upon it in such way
that my foolish fears would leave me-
My sweet GIRL said the doctor, taking her
wasted hand, win grant this request. You
cannot certainly recover, unless some extra
ordinary providence occurs Your life may
be protracted some months yet, but not over
year at the farthest, so it seems to me-
The pale cheek grew little paler, but the
smile faded not on the gentle lips.
Thank you, DOCTOR was her reply, thank
vou for your trust and confidence in me. Yc..

The beautiful consumptive sat alone in her
large easy chair some moments after the doc
tor was gone. She gazed about her on lux

for her pleasure, and the large untroubled eve
grew dim.

THE physical appearance of man some
times changes the current of events. Here
is a case in point: the children of two neigh
boring families had their daily quarrels and
fights, which resulted occasionally in bruised
faces and torn garments The father of one
family believing his children TO have been
sadly maltreated, and being apassonate man,
concluded that the surest way to settle the
differences between their households perma-
nently, would be to chastise the head of the
other family, although as yet, he had never
seen him. He thereupon procured a raw
hide, and abruptly entering his neighbor's
tenement, inquired in threatening tone. for
the man of the house. Il am here, SIR said

and giver Of good dinners, he was much
respected. The hospitalities of the house are
gracefully dispensed by niece. But at
length it became whispered that his specula-
tions were not successful: and it was necessa-

upon the security Of property belonging to
his niece. A certain amount of secrecy was
necessary for the sake of his credit. and the

over. The lady was taken ILL., the doctor
was sent for, and found her in convulsions,
A specific was administered, but in the course
of the night he was again summoned, but he
arrived too late. Next morning il was
known to all Liverpool that she had died sud-
denly. The body lay ia state and the mer-
chant retained his position and bore himself
with decent dignity, under his affliction. He
made no immediate application for the in

had selected his victims with skill. They
were safe and honorable men, and he duly
received his 100000. From this period he

intelligence in relation to the present dry
weather from various parts of the State
Although the prospect at present, is rather
gloomy for a portion of the mines, and the
agricultural districts it is not yet too late to
hope for rain enough to mature good crops of
wheat, barley and vegetables. Indeed, by the
last accounts from San Jose Valley, it APP
pears that fair crop of wheat may be grown
there, even though no more rain should fall.
and it is fair to presume that this is not the
only portion of the State that has been SINH
larly favored The pastoral portion of the
State must however suffer severely if we do
not have frequent and copious showers during
the ensuing four Of five weeks. There is ey-
cry reason to expect such showers. This we
have heretofore shown, by publishing stats
ties in relation to our climate, and in addition
we give the following

This afternoon we passed the farm and
residence Of Gen. Sam Houston. His house
is rather primitive affair, being one-story
double hewed log cabin, with an entry be-
tween, rough stone chimney at each end, a
poarch in 'front.' and surrounded by live oaks,
negro cabins and sheds, and the whole en-
closed by crooked rail fence, showing a lack
of order in the original proprietor. His

of its houses tumbling down, and the rest

all preachers, and not generally considered
very bright. One had been examined and
had gone out for the Conference to pass upon
him. Elder p. as presiding officer rose to
give his opinion. Brethren said he,
" these SIS, all of them, are well meaning
men-theyre good men-I hope they're good
Christians; but, there's no mistake about it,
they're all of them got rery soft place in
their heads somewhere" Turning his head a
little, he met the indignant eyes of the two
other brothers fastened full upon him. With

emphasize his words, and with a cautious ex-
preston of countenance stealing on, he con

brethren, who hain't-who hain't."

J Am Dreaming of Thee.


am dreaming Of thee,
Earth gently is sleepingi
The spirits OF midnight
Their vigils are keeping.
Their wall on the winds harp
lsmystlc and low,
And softly 1t murmurs
All mournful and slow;
And through my lone chamber
They fit wild and free,
heed not their revels--
| am dreaming Of thee.
The star-lamps of heaven
Burn fitful and bright,
Methinks angels are dancing,
In their silvery light,
As through the blue ether
They nolselessly glide,
Ahl now they are whispering
Thy name at my side.
They droop their white pinions,
And gaze wistful on me.
greet not their glances--
am dreaming of thee.
am dreaming Of thee,
Through each long, dreary day;
When in the gay throng
restlessly stray,
draw the bright cowl
OF mirth DER my heart,
While dark thoughts are rending
Each fibre apart;
In its deep haunted cells
Their ruins | see,
crush their wild bodings,
| am dreaming of thee.
am dreaming Of thee!
To my vision are stealing
Sweet moments by-gone,
To thee am kneeling,
And madly am pledging
New vows at thy shrine,
Where ! offered up fondly
This proud soul of mine:
OH spurn it not coldly,
1t ever will be
Round thy memory clnging,
Still dreaming Of thee.
am dreaming of thee,
Now my spirit is bending
Ger thy couch to whose pillow
II nightly is tending.
And when thou art sleeping
/ kiss thy dear browl
And list thy low breathing
All, thy spiri, dreams now;
With beautiful visions
Thy fancy is tecming;
But know thou car'st not
That Of thee | am dreamingl
am dreaming of thee!
'Tls the deep midnight hour,
Fate summons the future
by her magical power.
Its dark wings are rustling,
She waves her dim wand
view the pale phantoms
OF a shadowy land;
And ere long join them,
Yet shall not be free.
My own one in death,
shall still dream of thee.

that instead Of letting love fly out Of the
window when poverty came in at the door,
she would jump out Of the window herself.
