TWO O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING.

BY W. L. PABoR.
Miss Kitty on the sofa sat
With Harvey Nanc, and close at that:
When 10! the clock gave warning!
And Kitty said "0h dcary me,
1t cannot be, it cannot he
Two o'clock in the morning y
Without, the white moon watched the earth;
Within, the red fire danced with mirth;
The lovers cheeks adorning
With glow made crimson by the press
Their lips had made, in sweet caress,
AZ two o'clock in the morning
will not tell what words were said;
How Harry heart held kitty's head,
Parental caution scornng.
only know singular sound
The COSY chamber walls went round,
At two o'clock iu the morning.
And as it thus was, so twill be;
Such scenes the pensivc moon will see,
Aud mantle clocks give warning,
To lageing youth and loving maid,
Who have the parting hour delayed,
Till two o'clock in the morning.

GOD SPEAKETH EVERYWHERE.

GOD sPEAKETH EVERYWHERE
By CARRIE E. PLUMLEB.
. God speaketh in the calm, blue sky,
And in the murmuring sea,
And on yon mountain, towering high,
His handiwork we see.
The voice of the wind, as it passeth by,
Proclaims there is Cod!
And the weary ones of earth who lie
Beneath the tufted sod.
The echo steals along the air
Around, below, above!
And bright-eycd fowerets, fresh and fair,
Are whispering, "God is love!@
The brilliant gems that deck the sky,
Look down, and seem to say,
There is God-hc dwells on high,
And holds mighty sway.
At midnight, when the thundcrs roar,
And clouds look dark and drcar,
When lightnings flash along the sky,
Thy voice, 0 God, VIC hear.
In Joy, in bliss, in grief or VOC
In worldlipess and care,
Creations breath. as the wind breatheS low
God spcakcth everywhere.

A FAcr.-A young lady i'll Brooklyn, New
York, hasrecently had herleg amputated midway
between the hip and knee in consequence Of q
wound caused by broken hoop. The hoop
was of steel, and in some unaccountable manner
a broken point penetrated to the bone. The
wound became infamcd, amputation was thus
made necessary. We have the story from a
young lady who is friend of the now crippled
for-life victim of fashion, and can vouch for its
authenticity.- Winslead Herald.

them to adopt MEASURES (by proclamation or
otherwise) to prevent the dissemination of

SMALL Pox-Tf ere are. we learn, exaggerated
REPORTS in circulation about the Small Pox ~
this city. and we think it due TO the public as
well as to oHr own citizens, to state the facts
There are bnt three cases Of the disease or
rather two cases of Small Pox and one of Va
rioloid at present in the place, and all ofthose
in one family. that of Mr. Jeel 3. Myers, Mrs.
Myes and their two children. The former
has varioioid, the children the small pox. The
eldest child. at last accounts, was GONZALES
cent, the youngest quite sick. These are all
the cases at present, and as indicious preca.,
fkanary measures have been taken to prevent
the spread of the disease, our physicians and
others competent to judge, assure US that there
is no reason 10 fear any new cases. Mr.. Ny
ers has been engaged the past season on the
steamer Edwin Manning, and had laterly his
family with him. II was there the disease
was contracted Our friends from the coun-
try may be assured that they can come to
town without the least danger, and we hope
none will he deferred from doing so by the
reports which are in circulation. Experience
must have taught every one that such reports
are always exaggerated.

Though but little pain now, it may, by neg
lect, become terrible one by-and-by. The

to gnard against diseases, by taking proper
care of the system when it is unimpalreG, than
to mend it when it is once broken down.
