MY CHILD.

light is from our household gone,
voice we loved is stilled,
place is vacant at our hearth
Which never can be filled:
gentle heart that throbbed but now
With tenderness and love,
Has hushed its weary throbings here
To throb in bliss above;
Yes, to the home where angels are
Her trusting soul has fed,
And yet we bend above her tomb
With tears and call her dead.
We call her dead, but ah! we know
She dwells where living waters flow.
We miss thee from our home, dear one,
We miss thee from thy place,
Oh life will be so dark without
The sunshine of thy face;
We wait for thee at ewes sweet hour
When stars begin to burn,
We linger in our cottage porch
To look for thy return,
But vainly for thy coming step
We list through all the hours
We only hear the winds low voice
That murmurs through the flowers,
And the dark rivers solemn hymn
Sweeping among the woodlands dim.
The bird we loved is singing yet
Above our cottage door,
Wn sioh IN baor "a Gin or;r, ro,y
Since heard by thee no more:
The sunshine and the trembling leaves,
The blue o'er-arching sky,
The music of the wandering winds
That float in whispers by
All speak in tender tones to me
OF all life's parted hours and thee.
do not see thee now, dear one,
do not see the now,
But even when the twilight breeze
Steals o'er my lifted brow,
hear thy voice upon my ear
In murmers low and soft,
hear thy words Of tenderness
That l have heard so oft
And on my wounded spirit falls
blessing from above,
That whispers, that tho thy life is DER,
We have not lost thy love.
All, no, thy heart in death grown cold,
Still loves us with love untold.
Noneed of fame's proud voice for thee,
No need of earthly fame,
Thou art enshrined in our fond hearts,
And that is all the same
Ay, full Of faith, and trust, and hope,
We tread liie's troubled sea
Till the last throbbng wave of time
Shall bear our souls to the
To thee, oh il will be so sweet
With all our sins forgiven,
To mingle with the loved and lost
In our sweet home in heaven,
To spend with all the rest above
An endless life of perfect love

HIsToRIcAL Account OF HYMEN.-Hymen
was beautiful youth of Athens, who, for
the love of young virgin, disguised himself,
and assisted at the Elusinan rites; and at this
time he, togather with his beloved and di-
vers other young ladies of that city, were
surprised and carried off by parties, who sup
posed him to be what he appeared, was
lodging with his mistress. In the dead of
night. when the robbers were all asleep, he
cut their throats.-Thence making hasty way
back to Athens, bargained with the parents
that he would restore them their daughter
and all her companions, if they would consent
to their marriage; which proseing very hap
py, it became the custom to invoke the name
of Hymen at all nuptials.

KNITTING MAcHNE-One of the neatest

One machine can easily knit one hundred

One of the neatest pieces of mechanism as
a knitting machine we have ever seen, had
gentle, blue eyes, and a most encouraging
smile. But that was some time ago, and we
fear that sort of knitters are going out of

the loom in the garret, aud the apron Of

thousand things besides, that the world is

INTERPRETATION OF DREAMs.-There is a
new guide to the Interpretation Of Dreams
An English paper thus puts it
To dream of milestone around your neck,
is sign of what you may expect If you get
an extravagant wife. To see apples in a
dream, betokens a wedding because, where
you find apples, you may reasonably expect
to find pears. To dream that you are lame,
is token that you will get into hobbe.-
When young lady dreams Of a coffin, it beto-
kens that she should instantly discontinue la
cling her stays tightly, and always go warmly
and thickly shod in wet weather. If you
dream Of clock, it is a token that you will
gain credit-that is tick To dream Of FIRE,
is sign that if you are wise you will see
that the lights in your house are out before
you go to bed To dream that your nose is
red at the tip, is an intimaton that you had
better leave off brandy and water To
dream of walking barefooted denotes jour
ney that you will make bootless.

TYree Springs.

This fine watering place, famous in years agone,
as one of the most popular and delightful summer
retreats in the whole South has recently undergone
thorough renovation and improvement, and is now
one Of the most desirable resorts TO be found The
proprietor, (who is among the energetic men Of the
age aud country has spared expense in reftting
and refurrishing the establishment adding to il
many valuable modern features, calculated to en-.

represented by distinguished physicians to be of
the first order OF excellence.
The location of Tyree Springs is one Of the high.
est and heathest in the State, being at least 500
feet above Cumberland river at this point. Thus
situated on the table land just beyond the Ridge"

look upon possessing still greater significance,
aud which will be to Tyree Springs their principal
attraction. 1t is the simple fact that the popular
