I,H Think of Thee.
BY HENRY T. HARRIS.

I'll think of thee when morning breaks
In dew -bathed beauty DER the earth;
When silvery showers in shadowy dells
Give to the blue-eyed violets birth;
Of thee when sun-beams softly fall
Around the rose-wreathed bowers of June
While ring-doves far in summer woods
Pour out wild, impassioned tune.
I'll think of thee when evening steals
In dusty Innings from the sky,
And lengthning shadows dim and gray
Along the forest edges lie;
OF thee when ewes first star comes out
And blossoms in the blue above
For memory then to me will bring
Our trysting-place in hours of love
I'll think of thee when DER yon lake
The moon hangs like a silver bow
And beams upon each Wrinkled wave
As did thy dark eyes long ago
vi thee when every gentle wind
Comes in soft whispers DER its breast
To tell of summers beauteous flowers,
And lull each signing wave to rest.
I'll think of thee when music swells
In the lone night-birds plaintive cry;
And watt thee from my spirits realm
The hearts deep homage on a sigh;
OF thee when Night is million decked
With stars like blossoms blown above,
On which the angels walk at eve
And tell each other of their love!
I'll think of thee when stars fold up
Their wings in yon far summer cline
As noiseless as the music Of
Some broken-hearted poets rhyme;
Of thee, my 'Ellie,' when no more
Hopes flowers within my heart are Shed
When every joy that now is bright,
And every dream Of bliss has fed
I'll think Of thee when spring time hangs
Her drapcry DER the naked woods,
And winds and waters, wild and free,
Go shouting through their solitudes
Of thee when golden summer comes
With dew-soft whispers everywhere
With breath to lift the auburn locks
That droop around thy forehead fair.
I'll think of thee, my Linden Flower"
And keep fore'er each burning vow
Ofthee should high ambition fail
To wreath laurel round my brow;
Thou Queen Of 4Hay-thy sweet, sweet name
Lives in each thought and dream alway !;
Thou art my star-my chosen flower
Ny Moon at nightly Sun b. day.

GETHsEMANE.-Ii Lypch {

Observation-Disclosures Lynch, of
the United States Exploring Expedition to
the River Jordan and the Red Sea, in
1913, visited the garden Of Gethsemane
about the month of May. He says:
"The clover on the ground was in
bloom, and, altogether the garden, in its
aspects and associations, was better calcu-
lated than any place | know, to soothe a
troubled spirit. Eight venerable trees,
isolated from the smaller and less imposing
ones which skirt the passs of the Mount
of Olives, form aconsecrated grove. High
above ON either hand. towers lofty noun
tain, with deep yawning chasm OF Jehos-
ephat between them. Growing one of
them is living city; on the slope of the
other is the great Jewish Cemetery-City
of the Dead. Each tree in this grove,
cankered, and gnarled, and furrowed by
by age, and beautiful and impressive in
its decay, is living monument Of the af-
fecting scenes that have taken place be-
meath and around it. The olive perpetu-
ates itself from the root of the dying pa
rent stem, the tree springs into existence
These are accounted one thousand years
old. Underthese Of the preceding growth,
therefore, the Saviour was wont to rest;
and one of the present may mark the very
spot where he knelt, and prayed, and
wept. No caviling doubt can find en-
trance here. The geographical boundaries
ara foo distinct and clear for an inStant'S
hesitation. Here the Christian, forgetful
of the present, and absorbed in the past,
can resign himself to sad, yet soothing
meditation The few purple and crimson
flowers growing about the roots of the tree,
will give him ample food for contempla-
ton, for they tell of the suffering and en-
sanguined death of the Redeemer."

Too TRUE.-We clip from the Voice OF
Israel, journal noted for the good sense
contained in it's articles, the following ex-
cellent extract on domestic politeness.-
We are sorry to say that it is, as general
thing, only too truthfully worded:
"There are few families, we imagine,
anywhere, in which love is not abused as
furnishing the license for impoliteness.
a husband, father CT brother, will speak
harsh words to those lie loves best, and
those who love him best, simply because
the security of love and family pride keeps
him from getting his head broken. It is
a shame that a man will speak more i'm
politely at times, to his wife or sister, than
he would to any other female, except a
low and vicious one. 1t is thus that the
honest affections of mans nature prove
to be weaker protection to woman in
the family circle than the restraints Of So
ciety, and that a woman usually is indebted
for the kindest politeness of life to those
not belonging to her own household
Things ought not so to be. The man who,
because it will not be resented, inficts his
spleen and bad temper upon those of his
hearth-stone, is a small coward, and a very
mean man. Kind words are circulating
mediums between true gentlemen and la
dies at home, and no polish exhibited in
society can atone for the harsh language
and disrespectful treatment too often in
dulged in between those bound together
by Gods own ties of blood, and the still
more sacred bonds of conjugal love-"

IHE DWELL HEAD DISEASE. This
dreadful disease sometimes attacks horses.
and probably other animals, as monkeys
and Jackasses; and some birds, as the
parrot and mocking bird But men are
more subject to it, and with them it is
more fatal.
CAUsE.-Vacuity in the Uranium. 1t
is often augmented by fattery, especially
when the cerebrum is small and and i'll
shaped Men of large information, how
ever, sometimes are afflicted with it in
which case there is found an inordinate
swelling in the upper region of the head,
just back of the oper cranfa. The pro-
tuberance is called self-esteem.
SYMPToMs.-The poor creature usually
fancies himself the biggest, smartest, best,
and handsomest man in the crowd-loves
the "uppermost seat in the synagogues"-
is given to impudence, impertinence, and
usually bad manners in company-is cen
serious and fond of finding and exposing
the foibles of his associates = has few
friends and no lovers, and has generally a
bad odor to polite, well bred people given
to swelling and strutting, as if one minute
he fancied himself toad, and the next a
turkey-cock. He is egotistic, and passion
ately fond of Understanding titles, as Squire,
Captain, Colonel, General, &C. The mis-
erable patient is sometimes so infatuated
as to attempt to stride the ocean, OF jump
over high mountains. These are only a
few of the symptoms Of this malady, but
enough to identify it.
TREATMENT.-Whe it is caused bv
emptiness of the Uranium, it is only neces-
sary to fill up the vacuum with good ideas,
a solid education, or common sense
When induced by diminutiveness, or mall
formation Of the brain, the cure is slow
and difficult. We have known some cases
which deied every remedy and destroyed
the patients. 4 cure must be attempted
by exercising and cultivating those facul-
ties which are deficient, such as the judg-
ment and the understanding, and deple-
ting self-esteem, &C. The skulls of these
patients are usually very thick, so that it
is hard pounding anything into them but
they are excessively fond of soft soap
give Jnefn pOuhu or TWO every Gay, ana
it will soften the skull so that you can
probably get little gumption into it, or a
modicum of ratiocination, and they will
soon be we'll When this will not cure
soft soap will alleviate.
In the case Of those gentlemen from ter
to twenty years old, who get to putting or
the boots and pantaloons of their fathers
and teaching their teachers, reproving, con
cealing, and sometimes insulting old age
chewing tobacco, smoking cigars, and
drinking whisky-swearing, and cutting
the dandy swell-head enerally-appetitt
for late hours, bad company, and bar-roon
vocations-a little oil of birch, applied by
the paternal hand, is the best remedy
Then keep them out of the night air and
bad weather. IF this does not effect a
cure by the divine blessing-the head
grows and grows, till the poor sufferer top
pies over few times and knocks out halt
of his self-esteem

ELK SHOOTING IN THE TuLrs. "A fe1

ELK SHOOTING IN THE TULEs. A few
days since, company of amateur sports
men from our city visited Lake Washing
ton, IN Yolo county, for the purpose Of
trying their skill at duck shooting. Upon
their arrival on the ground, they found
among their ammunition few charges Of
cred eye, warranted to kill anything hu-
man or inhuman at distance of forty
yards. For fear that some one of the bar.
ty should imprudently pitch in and poison
himself by imbibing too freely, they agreed
that each man should take but one pull at
the flask, and drew lots for the first chance
The lucky number was drawn by one of
party, whom we shall call Shandv: his
consideration for the welfare of his com
rades was so great, that ne seemed anxious
to risk his own health and safety for their
good, and drained the bottle, or at least
gave 1t what's familiarly termed, "black
eye. The fre-water SO inspired him,
that he disdained the idea of bagging such
small game as ducks, but declared his be-
lief that there were plenty of elk among
the tules, and SO started off himself in
search OF them. A few minutes after
wards his companions heard both barrels
of his gun discharged, and heard Shandy
calling Justify for them to come and see
the elk he had killed When they reached
the spot, the first thing which greeted their
eyes was fine fat porker, dying from the
wound from Shandy's shot. Shandy verify
believed he had killed tule elk, and was
so elated that he rolled about in the tules
until he lost both hat and gun. We un-
derstand that his friends Gas he is SO Good
at hog shooting) are going to petition the
coming Legislature for an appropriation to
furnish Shandy with "red eve" and en-
ploy himto shoot the bristles off that sshog's
back upon which the San Francisco
steamers ride every night State Journal.
