SONG.
BY N. 4. WINCHESTER.

How my old eyes sche, for thy dear sake,
My ears to hear thy voice;
And my heart to feel, that thou art Zeal. =
The friend of my soul. and choice.
How the dreams gone by-@of you snd l. &;
And thy smile returns my smile,
How | walk once more by the pebly shoreP
Aud sit on the well worn stle. &;
How the music of words, and the songs Of birds,
Around and above me charm;
While the whirl in my breast--my Fates be-
quest
Forbode of sorrow and harm
And the twittering leaves, in the brave old
trees,
Seem to tell Of list'ners near; ,aeS
But the balmy breeze, the hum ofthe bees.
And thy tones soothe my soulfof fear.
Oil the days are lorn, for the smiles are gone
The Dream and the Hope is past
And l know not now hut thy lips and thy
Are cold-that I've look'd my lastl
For I'm far away, growing old and grey,
My name is changed--and my cheek
Is faded and scar with the burning tear,
And grisf dare not speak.
Shall we meet againl Shall we meet againi
And enjoy sweet Friendships doweri
Shall we learn when we're old-our hearts
grown cold,
OF the spell-and our spirits poweri
'Tis over me yet, and cannot forget
Nor word. nor look of thine:
And the sorrowing heart will never part
With face that has grown divine.

Ohio. The Sabbath before he left home for
Washington, to assume the duties of Chief
Magistrate OF the natian, he met his Bible
class as usual. And his last counsel on the
subject to his gardner, at Washington, il may
be hoped, will never be forgotten by the
nation. When advised to Keep n dog to pro-

The FARMERS BoY-Should learn that
little hole in fence may cause your whole
garden to be destroyed. A little hole in
fence rarely ever grows smaller of itself; so a
little duty neglected rarely ever passes unno-
ted, but results in some trouble. A little
attention to that young COW will make her
gentle. Much of a farmers income is made
up of little things, and he who does not at
tach importance to these little rils Of profit
will never enjoy large stream as the result
of their flowing together. A man may be
stngy and mean, but this has nothing TO do
with strict economy in the use of time and
money.

Now, what next :

HARK FROM THE TooMBs.-The Washing
ton States talks rather hard of the political
course of Senator Toombs, of Georgia.
That paper says that the Senator "is report
ed to have sa d in his speech at Baltimore,
on Friday evening, that Senators Douglas,
Stuart and Broderick, had run away and
joined the Black Republicans in the Kansas
ISSUE"
Mr.. Toombs, in our opinion, says the
States, is the last man who should take the
Senators referred to task OH any question;
for il we are not mistaken, he joined the
Abotionst 10 opposition to the annexation
of Texas, and did as good work in their
cause as the best Of them.

BABY's RvAL.-1herc are many persons
who make practice saying to little children,

writes to the New York Examiner on this
wise:

AN IMPORTANT FAcT.-The editor of the
Horticulturist gives his readers this fact,
which ought to sink deeply into the minds
of the American people:
at cannot be too often repeated that the
tendency of our people is too much given to
nonproducing employments. Ease of body
is sought before cheerfulness of mind. Sed-
entary occupations are not so healthfnl ms
those in the open mir. II statistics are to be
believed, it is residents of the country who
enjoy the greatest amount of physical health.
Cities notoriously depreciate even the human
stature. An attentive observer for forty
wears may safely say that in cities families
rapidly rur out and disappear-the only per-
manent ones are the landholders.

"OLD VIRGINHY NsvER TIRE."-If the
scene of the following item, which We cut
from the Wheeling Intelligencer, was loca-
led anywhere save in Virginia, we should
doubt its truth:
ave saw yesterday, going up toward the
upper ferry, a team OF four anmals-a horse,
pony, mule aud bull. The horse had
the hraves, the pony was blind, the mule was
lame, aud the bull had no provisions for fly
time. In the wagon, which was susprdinary
one, there sat white man, a crippled nigger,
and II tame skunk frally bound with a wisp
Of straw. The white man held the lines, the
team held its own, and the nigger held the
skunk, and they all moved forward. To
make this worthy of its place, It is essential
to say that it is true.

The PRINCE OF WALES AND PRINCE Al
FREp.-A London letter to the Northern
Daily Express, speaking of the royal family,
says:
Prince Alfred treats his senior, the Prince
Of Wales, in rather brusque and off-handed
way off-handed sometimes with a will, for
he thrashes him, to the great distress Of his
papa, TO whom the heir apparent is obliged
to appeal for protection against his bolder
brother. Her Majesty is represented rs rath-
er amused with these pugnacious propensi-
ties of the second prince of her house. 1t
is alleged that the Prince OF Wales pays
much mure attention to intellectual subjects
than his more belicose brother.

Sometime in August last, bright and in-

described, while playing near the well in the
yard, about noon of the day, seemed to dis

her gaze became riveted upon il, and, as il
drew nearer, she was observed to make fire.

and form closer acquaintance with the
strange visitant. When the mother of the
child was called to the scene, the little girl
then informed her that she was now in the

with il; that it had made communications to
her; and furthermore, gave description Of il,

after receiving Information from II Of the pre-

The story further runs--that the death Of

ADVANTAGEOUS TO KNOW.

Many death has resulted from an acei.
dent, when a little skill In the treatment of a
wound might have prevented a sacrifice of
life.. In the excitement attended upon
the injury of a fellow being, We are too apt
to lose the presence of mind necessary to
proper consideration of the means by which
reliefcan be rendered; and the necessity Of
making ourselves perfectly familiar wlthth
manner in which woutls:s and injuries should
be treated in cases ,of emergency, for the
knowledge of the proPerSareans to be adop-
ted for the stoppage Of bleeding from
wound, may be of service to US when we
least expectit. -
First, if TIE blood flows out in a stream,
notice particularly whether the stream is an
even, steady, ora jerking or a pusating
stream; il it is even and STEADY, the probabil-
ty'is tits from vein, particularly if the col
or OF the blood-is a dark red, Bleeding
from an artery is peculiar. The blood being
of light scarlet color; the stream comes in
that jerking manner which is seen when
fire engine is playing upon high building
To stop the flow of blood in vein, first
close the wound with TIE haad firmly, then
fold up any cloth, tow, fax, or leather, make
il into hard pad an inch thick, at least large
enough to cover the entire wound, bind over
this firmly any bandage, handkerchief, or
strap or even The bark of tree. rnse thn
wounded part higher than the body of The
patient; keep him quiet; il he has bed
large quantity give him Gf at handy little
spirits and water and send for the doctor
Ifthe bleeding is from an artery, take your
handkerchief, tie il around the limb between
the wound aud the heart, put strong stick
under the handkerchief, give it two or three
twists, and you will stop the blood, If you
have made ii tight enough. In all other
respects the same treatment as above.
In all small wounds, merely elevating the
part higher than the body and retaining it so
for short time, will arrest the bleeding.-
For bleeding at the nose, apply ice TO any
part Of the body, moving the ice around; it
Is best to apply it to the arm-pts, nape Of
the neck, &c. Keep the patient quiet; do
not let him cough, &c, or bleeding will re-
turn.
