1912, who passed this way, and about
whom many legends are current among
the aged people of the neighborhood, &C.,
&c.
But the hour of retiring is here at last;
and we sink into deep delicious sleep,
such as the epicure and the brick-cased
lnhabitant of the great city never expert
ence-to awaken in the morning with re-
newed strength and vigor in our limbs,
with a soaring freshness and buoyancy in
our spirits-all ready for another day of
toll and pleasure-and filed with admi-
ration for the beauty of our earth, and
the wisdom and goodness of our all-wise
Creator.
Gentle reader, you have accompanied
me to the end. You have borne patient
ly with all my wayward fancies, while |
have endeavored to point out to you some
of the beauteous and majestic scenery of
this great earth-the footstool of our God.
| have shown you where to 90 to hold an
hours communion with your own spirit
and learn peace and harmony from nature
when you become wearied, as you often
must, with the bitter strife that man is
continually waging with his fellow man,
marring this world of beauty by his deeds
and now l bid you kind adieu.-
Perhaps we may meet again at some flu
ture day, as there are many other places
worthy Of note among the mountains OF
Somerset county, to which | would like
to conduct you. +. L.

AARON BURR's DAUGHTER.-A sailor
died recently in Texas, and on his death
bed confessed that he was one of the crew
who murdered Mrs. Aston, of South Car
olina, 40 years ago. Mrs. Aston was the
daughter of Aaron Burr. She sailed from
Chareston for New York, and on the trip
the crew mutinied and murdered all the
officers and passengers, Mrs Aston being
the last one to walk the plank. The sailor
remembered her last look of despair, and
died in the greatest agony of mind.

Do you remember Lily, dear,
The hamlet on the Rhine,
Where, when the autumn sad and drear,
It's shade DER all had thrown,
We loved to wander hand in hand,
By mountains stern and steep,
And gather pebbles off the strand,
And fling them in the deep?
Do you remember Lily, dear,
The blue Italian lake,
So bright, so tranquil and so clear,
No wavelets DER it break;
And when at eve we us'd to float,
Like shadows on its breast,
The motion of our tiny boat
Scarce woke it from its rest?
Do you remember Lily, dear,
The Tyrolean pass,
And hcw your heart beat loud with fear,
Like some weak, country lass;
While high above your ringlets fair,
Tween earth and heaven hung
Whole mountains on the balmy air,
Like words upon the tongue?
Do you remember Lily, dear,
When Venice was our home,
How, oft, when dewy eve drew near,
We aoated DER the foam;
And when we heard the vesper bell,
Before the shrine at prayer,
We noted each bright tear that fell
From beauties kneeling there?
Do you remember Lily, dear,
Those high blue Scottish hills,
The heath and broom which year by yea,
Blooms by the gladstone rills;
And when upon Ben Lomond's brow,
In days last smile we stood,
Each hoary oak and pensil bough
Smiled in its golden food.
Do you remember Lily, dear,
The olives of old Spain,
Whose shade we often sigh for here,
But which comes not again.
And those old ruins grim and dread,
Through which we wander'd lone,
When rise the phantom, ghastly dread,
And midnight stars still shone?
Do you remember Lily, DEAR.
The vallies of gay France,
Where first we saw the cleaning spear,
And noble war-steed prance;
And how we loitered side by side,
Around the works of fame,
And in the shadows soft and wide
Of princely Notre Dame?
Do you remember Lily, dear,
When came the parting hour,
How in thy soft eyes slept tear,
Like blossoms in bower;
And when you placed your little hand,
Within the palm of mine,
A tear of sorrow wet the sand,
And mingled there with thine?

My Own Dear Mountain Maid.

The morning sun was shining bright,
Ger forests brown, and vale,
And blossom leaves were floating light,
On Zephyr's softest gale;
When from her mothers snowy cot,
With eager haste | strayed,
To meet within her fairy grot,
My own dear mountain maid.
The dew-drops lay upon the buds,
Like tears in beauty's eye,
While tween the trees in silver floods,
The light of morn swept by;
And on the velvet sward below
The joyous raylets play'd,
Suffusing with their mellow glow,
My own, dear, mountain maid.
Her tiny hat lay mid the rocks,
Bound with moss and flowers,
And in the breeze her sunny locks
Were wantoning for hours;
While with her fingers rosy tips,
In mingled sheen and shade,
She press'd wild rose to her lips
My own dear mountain maid.
loved her fondly-dearly well,
For two long, blissful years,
When like flower fair she fell,
And left me naught but tears;
And now, when eer sadly roam
Through messy dell and glade,
sigh for that far cottage home,
And my dear mountain maid.

B1r Never abuse one who was once
your bosom friend, however bitter now.
-Neverspeak contemptously of woman
kind.
The best bite we ever had when We
went fishing, was the bite we took along
Moving for new trial: courting g
second WIFE
The best line to lead woman with
is masculine
Why is a beauty like the engine on
railway? Because she draws a train
after her, scatters the sparks, transports
mails, (males,) and makes us forget time
and space.

SHor HIS Son THROUGH M1srAKE.-About three
o'clock yesterday morning a man named George
Keist returning late from ball. went to his fathers
house, where he resides, in the Milcreek Bottom,
little distance from Ernsts Station, and finding the
door locked climbed upon the portico to get into his
room. His father, hearing the noise, and supposing
the person burglar, especially as an effort had been
made to break into the premises few nights BEFORE
armed himself with his revolver and opening his door
cautiously, awaited the robber, and as his own son
crossed the porch the old gentleman fired twice, and
the youth fell saying, j" My God | am shot The
father ran up to the wounded burglar as be supposed
and discovered to his horror that it was his own son.
Fortunately for both, George was not hurt as badly
as he thought. The first ball had missed him alto
gether and the second lodged in the shoulder max
ing a painful though not atalI dangerous wound.

The Galveston News Of Saturday last says


Though there are still few cases Of yellow fever
in our city there is every reason believe that the
| epidemic is at an end, and that strangers may
come in without any risk, as it is the opinion of our
physicians that those cases which have occurred
within the last few days originated some time back,
in other words that the disease had been in the
system of for some time before being developed.
The Civilian of the same date says:
OF cotton, receipts at this port continue heavy
while the market conforms to the state of facts else
where. The sales Of the week sum up 1000 bales.
At the outset prices for Mddling ranged from Ii to
II per h.. but in consequence of the received
during the last three days Mddling is quoted at
II to lit. The other grades in proportion. The
receipts Of the inferior grades continue small and
probably cotton of the present years growth has
been sold in this market at as low rate 10 cents.
The settlers upon the frontier are greatly alarmed
at the recent murders committed by the Indians and
| the danger Of others Of the same character The
Austin Intelligencer learns from Mr.. c. A. Wool
bridge, from Lampasas Springs, that . great many
of the farmers and settlers from the upper country
are crowding into Lampasas for protection. The
number now gathered in find it difficult to get &C.
Communications at that place.
The Waco Democrat says that after the storm
which ragged there on the 3lst ult., hail stones were
picked up weighing pound each and an obEong
one measured 10 inches around, one way and the
other.
The Democrat Of the 4th states that Capt. L. S.
Ross had arrived in Waco, and was fast recovering
from his wounds received in the late fight with the
Camanche Indians The Captainsa young man, not
over Is or 10 years of age but acted gallant part
in the battle. He was just in from the Brazos Agency,
and reported everything quiet within the Reserve,
but said the wild Indians had stolen about one
hundred head of horses since Maj. Van Dorn's fight
with them. Maj Van Dorm, although severely
wounded in the abdomen, was up and doing WELL
The Telegraph states that there are at least 10000
bales Of cotton in Houston.
The Telegraph says that the black tongue is very
prevalent among the cattle in the neighborhood of
Houston.
The Dallas Herald says that the Overland Mail is
giving an impetus to business Of ak kinds along the
line Of the route. is rapidly attracting persons of
all trades and professions and will doubtless attract
emigration, and aid powerfully in extending the set
