THE SETTING STAR.
In memory ofliHle Mary, infant daughter
@C. Il. d s. A. Rnss.
Twas a still autumn eve, when the sun was hid,
And nature was wrapt in her twilight shade,
Whom / spisd in the Western sky afar,
On the verge Of the heavens, . lonely star.
Not a vapor was there Its hstre to dim.
Or hide from my vision its radiant beam
And it seemed to smile with q Joy divine,
As though 1t was happy and loved 10 shine.
4 loved il because It looked innocent there
Away in It's sky home, cloudlees and fair,
"Swset jewel Of Heaven," whispered my heart,
= How lovely and gentle and precious, thou arti
While gazing with feeliags enchanted, I saw
fhe star sink In benuty-the hills below;
And I sighed that lie silence and sparkling ray,
That % much delighted, should so soon pass away.
But . spirit voice told me IN words Of peace
" Let motifs departure thy bosom distress,
For though Jon no logger behold lis pure beams,
an gender bright heavens It jcyously CLEANS"
Sweet MaryI this star was an emblem Of thee,
Thy spirit was gentle and pure as its rsyj
And to thee 50 much Of the angel was given,
Like a star, thou vast made for q nome in Heaven.
Like the star, thy .ife though lovely sndbright
Was gifted BY Heaven, with e~phemeral light;
And scarce had thy beauty iAumined our home
When thy form, left ~soulless, went down to the
tomb.
But while we are weeping, sweet Mary says
Twas happy that few and brief we're her days;
For she only has left a world like this
To be welcomed for aye In . world Of Bliss"
Stifl beautiful there, in that better land
Thou livest in rapture that never shall end;
And well hope while we live that a time win CONE
When ws,l meet thee up thsrei in thy angel home

gray, and my hair SO thin upon the top Of my
head, that l feared its entire loss. In this condi-
ton, | applied for and obtained a bottle of Prof.
Woods " Restorative" and before / had used one
quart bottle, the gray hairs had entirely disappear
ed and 1t had thickened up, so as to be as full as
more beautiful than everit was before, L do, there

We're Lonely, ever, here at Home.
Your wedding bells, my sister dear,
Rung merrily, . year ago;
The Christmas FIRE was blazing high,
And bill and valley clad with snow.
You wander still in distant climes,
Ger storied lands unwcaried roam
While aching hearts ysur absence nourn-
We're lonely, ever, here at home.
Your chair is vacant at the board
And, ever, In our hours Of mirth,
We miss your voice in songs you loved,
Your merry laughter at the hearth,
The dustis on the books you loved;
From yondsr harp nc echoes come,
With weary hearts we long for you
We're lonely, ever, here at home.
Aletter came ! from DER the seal
A ship arrived the lever here!
And Christmas bells sing out again
The gladeest peal Of all the year,
o. stay with US, my sister dear,
Nor leave us, ever, more to roam;
Our circle is unhrokeD, new
We're Fever lonely here at home.

q Subscriber, proprietor of the above named
invaluable Pump, now offers it to the citizens of
North Carolina. Its great merit consists in its
simplicity of construction, durability, and its su-
periority over all other pumps in drawing water
from the greatest depth, or from a spring, and at
the same time by the use of Hose, water may be
thrown upon the top of any two story house, or it
may be used to force water into a Cistern for irIi-
eating gardens in hot dry weather.
The capacity of the pump varies according to
size 20 to 100 gallons can be thrown per minute
the larger size being admirably adapted to Rail
Road water stations and for Turpentine distilled
ries. 1t is worked with a lever of more power and
ease than any other pump now in use. Orders arr

II l could keep her back straight, she could
not retain her milk; and by way of expert,
ment, l held the sharp corner of a small
stick OF wood on her back with one hand. and
while milking with the other, found tbai
she had not the power to hold her milk,
