MY WIFE.
WRITTEN BY ANINyALID.

WRITTEN BY ANINvALID.
Iheard her, oh. how cautiously,
Open my bedroom door;
heard her step as noiseI-s>lv,
To my couch across the floor;
felt her hand NY temple press,
Her lips just touching mine;
And in nv anguish and distress,
'Twere sinful to repine.
Our pilgrimage is nearly through
We've past lfe's mountain brow;
thought | loved her years ago
know love her now.
Her face was lowering over mine,
Her warm tears on nv check;
Her whispered prayer Of that divine,
Rose fervently but meek.
Her bosom rested on my arm,
l felt its tremulous throe;
knew the cause of its alarm,
And felt its source OF wo.
And then the blood my system through
Came pressing on my brow
thought l loved her years ago
know | love her now.
Thus watched that tried and patient one,
By night as well as day;
In sadness and almost alone,
Till weeks had passed away.
Bereft of sleep-deprived of rest
Oppressed-borne down with care
Till oh, her labors have been bIest,
For God has heard her prayer.
Her cheek resumes its wonted glow,
And placid is her brow
thought loved her years ago
know | love her now.

counties, also, . new impulse has been
given to lead mining and many new
discoveries are being made. On the
whole, we think that in this particular
branch Of business the hard times are
having = beneficial effect. Many labor
ing and other men, who have hitherto
depended on employment by Others,
have been induced strike out for them
selves, and the consequence is that
many are on the fair road to q comfort
able competence. We can prove By
statistics UsDoUsrED and CERTAIN, that
in proportion to the number Of men
engaged, that more men have become
rich or comfortable in the North w eat
lead mines than in the gold fields Of
California and Australia, and yet the
field is scarcely touched, and is unlim-
tied and exhsustless TO human labor.
10 the report Of the State Fair, ~
published in the Oskaloosa Times, We
notice the following compliment for
Davenport exhibitors "Messrs. Luse,
Lane d. Co., Of Davenport, exhibited
some splendid and durable specimens
Of County Records and Mercantile
Books, and some beautiful specimens of
printing. On each of these articles
these gentlemen received the first pre-
MUM. -"Mr. Pratt'sspecimeus Of pen
manship took our attention, and also
the premium. His portrait Of Wash.
ington, with the Declaration Of indie
pendencc across it, attracted the gaze
of passcrs, by and clearly indicated a
natural genius in Mr.. Pratt" Again
u. NJ. Cannon, Of Davenport, took the
first premium on two years old bulls,
and also the first herd premium. In
the cattle department We think our
fair will compare iavorably with those
Of other States. 1t did Us good to
walk up and down the stalls an look
at the noble Durhams, and Devons,
and Grades. Mr.. Cannon also took
the first premium on best brood mare,
with colt at her side"
