s6ort.lived existence conducted by the Rev. DR..
Freeman, who died some time since, bishop OF
Arkansas and Texas.

The LEcrsLATURE.-Iti is really amusing to
note our exchanges and observe the variety Of
questions which are asitated in the various por-
tons Of tue State. In no two districts scarcely
is the same question under discussion. Mem
bcrs elected will 60, each one, with the intent
Of carrying his hobby in the Legislature. II
such could be done what a vast amount of Leg
islation and Laws would flood the land. We
thank God, however, that such will not be the
case. Many fellow who is expected I" to play
the devil and turn up Jack" when he gets thero
will he as mute "as church mouse" and YOU
would not know ho was there if his name was
not published in the Newspapers.
Now in some districts the Legislative tost is
the Banks. In others Whether trading with
negroes should be whipping offence" In
others "The giving the election of Electors to
the people" In others " The re-opening of the
Slave Trade" In others "Usury and the Ii
quor Law" In others tho "Militia System .
the PenitentiaY systen, and so forth and SO on
od infnitum. Well, we suppose, when they all
meet, they will cast the subjects altogether in
ono pile, and choose such as man can make a
speech on both sides, without, exactly saying
| which he goes for. Well, wefl see what we
will sec, but we don't believe there will be ss
much done as many folks shink. for.-Newber.

AGRICULTURAL PRoSPECTs.-Reports from
all quarters, North, South, East and West, speak
of the promise of the harvest as something
splendid and prodgous. We do not hear of
failure in the wheat crop in any direction. AL
ready the sickle is at work in many districts,
and with few weeks of fine weather, the stack
yards will be filled with an amount Of golden
grain such as they hive seldom held, and the
land blessed with plentiful supply of home
growth rarely seen and more rarely surpassed.
Most earnestly do we hope for fair and propi-
tous skies that all this good promise may be,
fulfilled A rich harvest makes happy and
contented. 1t is goud tpr the grower who finds
himself repaid by the abundance Of his crops
for all his outlay of time and labor and money.
1t is good for the consumer. It gladdens the
heart Of the laborer--it fills his cottage with
Joy, And it is good for others beyond the
grower and consumer. The interests Of all clas-
Ses are so bound up together in trading and
commercial country like this that all flourish
together and all suffer together. We have, in
deed, as it were, but one interest, although with
many branches and subdivisions. Touch it in
any part and every nerve in the whole body
thrills and is affected. We have not doubt,
then, TINT the glorious harvest upon which we
have just entered will help greatly to place tho
trade Of the country On a sure and firm basis.
1t removes all dstrust on the monetary part Of
the question. There will be no sudden rush
upon the banks, such as in years Of scarcity
often shakes the trade Of the country to Its We.
ry foundation. On that point VIC slr1l be guard
ed against danger, and most thankfully ought
VIC to be for it.

THE PROSPECTS or TrxAs.-A correspondent,
who seems to be rather enthusiastic, writes as
follows from Houston, (rexas,) under date of
July %:
Texas never saw brighter prospects than at
present. Out of debt, and with full treasury,
taxes merely nominal-lighter than in almost
any other State-a full crop of corn and wheat
already realized, cotton and sugar cane promis.
ing and abundant yield, railroads progressing
rapidly, the cause of education receiving good
share of attention, and thewhole State is rapidly
advancing in all that makes great, good, hap
py and prosperous people.

known rs The Shades" was destroyed by FIRE

For the Advertiser.

BY JENNY wooDEINE. q
Still, and cold, and pale she licth
On her couch Of snow;
Hushed the hearts tumultuous throbbins
flushed to earthly Voc
Nevermorc that pulseless bosom
Bitter grief shall know.
While the sun is setting calmly
To yon cloud, capp'd West,
Fold the lily hands so gently
On the silent breast
Tenderly, and kindly, leave her
To her last sweet rest.
Close those waxen cyelids softly
Der the midnight eyes,
From those lips all cold and voiceless,
Come no sweet replies;
Love the last fond word has spokcn,-
Still, and pale, she lies.
Strcw the summer-Llossoms gently
Clip one soft and silken rinslct
From the forehead cold;
For the graveyard now is claiming
All those threads of gold.
Lilies white, and violets purple,
Place upon her brow,
Like them she was fair and fragile,
Strcw them DER her now;
Then beside her couch so snowy,
Lowly, humbly bow.
Bitter was her young lifc's morning
But the grief is past;
And upon the fair pale forehead
Deaths dark skade is cast
Push aside her rinslets gently
Take one kiSs-thy last
Never more with sigh of anguish
Shall those cold lips part;
Never more from those closed eyelids
Bitter tcar-drops start;
Ncvcrmore shall blame, or sorrow
Nestle on her heart.
Ncvermore shall arrows piercing
Reach her bosom fair;
Nor upon those chiselled features
Lingcr shades of care
On her couch Of snow she lieth,
Angels guard her there!
When with tears of bitter weeping
He shall come again,
Tell him his remorseful crrow,
Now, is all IN cain;
Tell him she is swcctly sleeping,
Free from grief and pain.
Tell him that in death she blessed him,
Though he dealt the blow;
Which, in all h0r youth and beauty,
Laid our darling low,-
Laid her like faded blossom
On her couch of snow.
And when in the rcstIcs midnight
Memories arise;
And the watchful stars are pccping
From the silent skies;
Well know he will be haunted
By her earnest eyes.
Ope.thc window-shuttcrS softly,
Do not wildly weep
Let the stars Of heaven above her
Lonesome vigils keep
Draw the drapery around her
Let her swcctly sleep.
On the morrow gently bear her
Towards the setting sun;
And when all the lamps of evening
Twinkle one by one,
Lay her in the grand old forest,
For her life is done.
