Lines 10 Her who can best under
stand Them,

All, no l--thou cans't not doubt love,
Though yet untold the passion be,
Since truthful witnesses declare
My very ifeis link'd to thee.
The heart requires no tender tone
Communes without deep drawn sigh =
1t lives in every wistful look
That rests upon thy dear black eye.
We meet at times in public paths.
When some kind angel guides my way.
To sun the soul in beauty's smiles.
More cheering far than gladsome day.
l seek thee in the sacred courts,
Where others bow to God in prayer.
That may offer up my VOWS
Unto acherish'd idol there.
Could silent walls attachment prove
Could trees or flow'rs the truth proclaim
Then myriad voices would attest
How oft speak thy hallow'd fame.
There's not moon rolls DER thy head--s
There's not star in Heav'ns wide dome,
But what at midnight's solemn hour,
Hath seen me sentinel thy home.
Ny footsteps circle round thy sleep;
Kind thoughts attend thy sun-lit hours;
In dreams hastento thy side,
In ivy-mantled summer bowers.
Midst gardens filed with choicest plants,
Bysilvery brooks that prattling flow;
Where incense loads each passing breeze,
And heeting hours UNDECIDED go.
On messy banks as velvetsoft.
We talk OF love, whole days of bliss,
And feel as if bright worlds above,
Had showercd celestial joys on this.

SWALLOWED a KNIFE.
The Skowhegan (hIainel Telegraph


tells a pretty strong story about a
two-bladed knife which was recently
swallowed by child of that village,
only a little more than year old.
The statement is that the knife was
missing for some time, and no one
could tell where it was. None Of the
family being i'll, it was not suspected
that it had been eaten by the child.
In due time, however, the knife came
to light, having passed from the
child minus the bone handle, which
had been digested. What is most
singular, says the Telegraps, the
child retained its general health, hay-
ing, without any apparent injury,
passed the knife through all its intes-
tinal passages with rivets bare and
projecting. We have an old bat IN

Senalorial.--Hon. G. W. Jones.

/ We believe that Andrew Johnson
lis the 6rst choice Of the Democracy
Of Tennessee for US. Senator. One
issue before the people in the last
canvass was the election Of two t..
S. Senators by the next Legislature.
This point was made by Hon. John
Bell in bis speech at this place
Just before the election. We see
the name of Hon. G. w. Jones fa-
vorably mentioned by several of our
cotemporaries. There is 70 man in
the State we would prefer to see elec-
ted over G.. w. Jones, as us. Sem
Iator. He is q faithful public SER
want. and bis Democracy is Of the
Jefferson and Jackson School Of poll
tics, and his abilities as statesman
are not surpassed BY any man in or
out of the State. There are many
other Democrats in the State OF
high standing and position, but none
more deserving of a seat 10 the SEN
ate than our talented Congressman;
George W. Jones Mr. Jones has
acquired for himself a national repu-
tatiou, as an able and iar-seeIng
statesman. He has made The most
faithful public servant the State Of
Tennessee has ever had ip the na-
iional legislature. His course in
public life has ever been characteriz-
ed by strict and due regard to the
wants of the country, and in no IN
stance has be ever pursued a policy
to elevate himself He is guided
By no selfish motives, but his whole
public life has verified the fact that
he has ever had ut heart the
good Of the country and the con-
stituency be represented. We are
for him as our choice for L. s. Sen
ator. We believe Andrew Johnson
anG Ge rye w. Jones, the maker of
their ovn fortunes, one a tailor and
the 9th : a saddler, are the choice
of the ID, mocrucy of Tennessee for
u. S. Senators. The Hon. George
w. Jones has heretofore had more
influence and weight in the Federal
than any other man, and
the fanatics and abolitionists north
fear and dread bim more than any
other man 10 the country, and he is,
in our estimation, the man for the
time. We therefore urge his claims
upon the consideration of the public,
and hope that the Legislature will
elect him as one Of the two to be elect.
ID. Mr.. Jones, as far as we know. is
not a candidate, but the people will
make him one, and be is their first
,hoice. -SheDymM Constiuhonalist.

The Patchwork Guilt.

was sitting in my chamber.
With my baby on my knee,
Aud the music Of an olden tune
Was humrning dreamily-
idly glanced toward my bed.
A. patchwork quilt was there,
The work of girlhood's early days,
Arranged with '-miekle care;;"
And tears came rushing to my eyes.
Their course conld lot stay,
While many mile my heart went back,
Along life's devious way.
That guilt ismade of memories,
Which with my growth have grown;
Each patch is part of garment worn
By some one have known.
Whattales of love and JOY and grief
Are with the whole inwroughti
What portraits and what histories
Come crowding to my thought!
That azure robed my mothers form
WhenI was but child;
OH how it brings my mothers face
Before me, calm and mild
Her soft dark eyes, her raven hair,
Her forehead meek and fair,
VIII ere even in her brightest hours
There lay shade of care.
Years changed the raven locks to grey,
Her fair brow grew more pale,
And so she faded from our sight,
And went within the veil.'
And here are scraps of infant robes
A darling brother wore
The brave. bright boy who died so youn
But | can sing no more
All brighter memories are Gimmed
With tears my eyes have shed,
And that old quilt has filed my heart
With yearnings for the dead.

ALAWYER'S DUTY.

When Lord Brougham was counsel
for the defense, on the trial of Queen
Caroline of England, in 1920, he en-
phstically declared that it was the du-
ty of a counsel to get his client of,
eventhough in efecting this he should
jeopardize the public peace, or even
cause a revolution 10 the country. This
principle was much canvassed at the
time. At the Oxfordshire (Eng.,) as
sizes, the other day, a counsellor pub
liely declared that, if be did not feel
the justice of his case, he should feel
it his duty to retire from it. Mr.
Justice Bramwell, very able lawyer
lately placed in the Bench, publicly
responded:
Then you would do wrong. i
should deem it your duty-and /
hold it to be duty of every member
of the bar-to prore, # requisite,
