WISHES.

Oh that were alone with thee,
On some smooth sand-bea n by the sea,
Powdered with ist of golden shells,
And Tapped with lazy ocean swells;
There to list 10 the fretting waves
Cropping throlch co-yolutel caves,
Like pris luers mosning to reach the light,
And razed with a labyrnthine nj ,Lt,
There to watch thy footprints sink
Delcate dies in the sandy briGk,
As if the shore fourd some hing sweet
In thus remembering thy feet.
Oh that were alone with thee
In some old garjeu-let il be
In quaint New Engand-shaded o'sr
BY ash and elm and sycamore.
Where paths mi; mazcs of blossoms run,
One half in shadow snd one IN sun;
Where mods the marig )lds living amber,
And woodbins over the tall rods Chamber,
With sunlowers lofty AID hollyhocks too,
Whose iery lips driuk up the dew,
While the thirsty win i-i1wers that lie oeio"'
Vain open their cups of snow.
There TO iahalc the rich perfumes
With thee, aud TO watch the waving biooms'
Bathea in the dews that rise AM IAN .
'Twxt the stars and the flowers that MI ths nsii
Ofrhe palace of God. To idly caress
The lilies that glea N all over the place.
An llucking those ones that face the SOUTH,
Crush their white buds DER thy pouting mouth,
And vail the light of thy rosy ips
Beneath pale moon-lke eclipse.
Oh to be alone with thee,
Under the shade of some ancient tree
In the autumn time, rs il kingly stands,
Ruling its royal forest lands.
There TO see nothing but waving limbs
And floating leaves while the sunlight swims
Through sea-creen channels tnat st etch away,
And end in the ocean of distant lay.
There, in the glade, with nobody near
Save tie winds, that lift up the leaves to peer
At thee, and wonder wha' newborn flower
Had sprung into life in their secret bower
would whisper to thee, so loving ana low,
That which yov new or have heard-but know!

SONG OF THE HOOPS,

Sailing down the crowded street,
Scraping every one they meet
With a rushing whirlwiHd sound,
Muiiled bells around abound.
Hoop. hoop. hoop!
What vast expansive swoop!
Hoops of whalebone, short and crisp,
Hoops If wire, thin as wisp;
Hoops of brass, thirteen yards long,
Hoops of steel, confirmed and strong;
Hoops of Rubber, soft and sleek,
Hoops of roping, bungling thick;
Hoops OF lampwick, cord and leather,
Hoops that languish in wet weather.;
Hoops that spread out silkep skirts,
Hanging off from silly tlirts.
Sweeping of the public lands,
Turning over apple stands;
Telling children to the ground,
AS they Haunt and whir, around.
Hoop, hoop! hoop!
What vast expansive swoopi
Jolly hoops, that wriggle round,
Sober hoops, that sway profound;
Spring. hoops, that shake and wag,
Broken hoops, that droop and prag;
Monster hoops, all overgrown,
Junior hoops, of smaller bone;
Hoops that ravish lovers eyes,
Hoops that rend their breasts with SIZE:
Hoops that shock their feeble legs,
Like crowd of giant kegs.
What gallant ships. what swelling sails I!
How they resist opposing gales!
With what a full, relentless watt,
They overwhelm each smaller craft
Hoop! hoop. hoop!
What vast, expansive swoop!

J U N T. .

June is here, all bright and glowing,
With her bursting buds and flowers,
Shedding ever grateful fragrance,
From their odor laden bowers.
Birds are breathing joyful music,
Blending songs from wood and glade,
Carrollng from hill and valley,
Natures morning serenade.
June is here-it bringeth sunshine
To the wealthy and the poor;
Every ray that gilds the palace
Gilds the lowly cottage door.
Nature knows not rank or station,
Shedding graces over all;
Every fragrant vine that climbeth,
Clings alike to hut and hall.
June is here-alas is beauty,
| alone this morn must share,
For the blossoms meath my window
Greet not her who placed them there;
She who trained the vine that creepeth
Ger the porch above my door,
God hath tax en-, yet the blossoms
Shed their perfume as before.
June is hereto Him who sendeth
Bud and blossom, leaf and blade,
Life aud death and every blessing,
Let our prisons be IN 1de.
Why the pure and good are taken
In life's morning, none may tell
Let US bow in mute submission,
"For He Doeth all things WELL"

THE CHURCH BELL.
BY MRS. SIGoURNEY.

When glowing in the easter n sky,
The Sabbath morning meets the eye,
And DER weary, care-worn scene,
Glea ms like the ark doves leaf of green,
How welcome over hill and dale,
Thy hallowed summons load the gale,
Sweet Bell. Church Bell
When earthly joys and sorrows end,
AMI towar | our long repose we tend,
How slow thy mournful tone doth call
The weepers to the funeral,
And to the last abode of clay,
With solemn tone mark out the way,
Sad Bell! Church Bell
If to the cline where pleasures reign,
We, through a Savior's love attain,
III ever, 70 An angels thought,
Earth's uuforgotten scenes are brought,
Will not thy voice tat warned to prayer,
BE gratefully remembered there?
Blest Bell! Church Bell!

Take No Thought for TO.MOrrOw.

Poor heart. why clog thyself
With weights thou need'st not bear?
Enough for every passing day
In its own load Of care.
Why be in haste to pay
A debt before tits due?
So soon life's sorrows come why run
To catch the distant riew?
0, let to-morrow's woe
In wise cOncealment rest;
Do not her frightful visage trace,
And wear it on thy breast
Enjoy, endure, and do,
From vain foreboiing free:
And make life's bitt2rest moments yield
Their lingering sweets to thee.

THE BEAUTIFUL LAND.

BY BARRY CORNWALL.
There is land immortal,
The beautiful of lands,
Beside the ancient portal
A sentry grimly stands.
He only can undo it,
Aud open wide the door;
And mortals who pass through it,
Are mortals never more.
That glorions land is Heaven,
Ana death the sentry grim;
Inc Lord therefore has given
The opening KEY S to him.
ANA ransom'd spirits, signing
Ana sorrowing for sin.
DO pass the gate in diving.
And freely enter in.
Though dark and drear fhe passage,
That leadeth to the gate.
Yet grace comes with the messa6a
To souls that watch and wait;
And at the time appointed,
A messenger comes down.
Aad leads the Lords anointed
from the cross to glory's crown.
Theii sighs are lost in singing,
Tqe,r're blessed IN their ears,
Their journey homeward winging,
They leave to earth their fears,
Death like an angel seemeth,
1--WE welcome thee" they cry;
Their fyce with 81 ory beameth-
'Tis life for them to die.

A Cock IN THE HIGH LATTTUDEs.-The au-
thor of A Visit to the Arctic Regions, relates
the following:
81 had observed for some days past, as we
proceeded north and the nights became
shorter, that the cock we had shipped at
Stornaway had become quite bewldered on
the subject of the meteorological phenomena
called the dawn of day. In fact, doubt
whether he ever slept more than five minutes
at a stretch without waking up in a state of
nervous agitation lest it should be cock-crow.
At last, when night ceased altogether, his
constitution conld no longer ~t"nd tho shock
He crowed once or twice sarcasticaily, then
went melancholy mad; finally cackeled lowIy,
and leaping overheard, drowned himself
The mysterious manner in which every day a
fresh member of his harem used to disappear
preyed upon his spirits"

HUFFMAN, hn., July y. 1000.
MEssRs. EDITORs Our young city for a
few days past has been more than usually
lively. Shows have been here enlivening us
with their music and gaiety. But the great
absorbing feature was our railroad meetings
About a week ago, Col. Stephenson, the Pres
ident of the Nashville and Northwestern Rail-
rodu' oaiHT ai""S, anu ny short, pointed
speech, stirred ap our languid spiriis He
asked no new subscription of took, but the
retakng OF some twenty-Odd thousand dollars
worth (Which, by the hard times. and the non
compliance with certain conditions by the
road or company, had been receded from by
originally rather over sangnine business gem
tlemen here), and the cashing of some ten
thousand dollars worth of the city bonds
which would become due in 1861, all in eight
months time-the whole amount making
some thirty-tive thousand dollars. If this a.
mount should be raised, and the county court
of Weakly county, Tennessee, should levy the
one hundred thousand dollars tax according
to the late decision and command of the Su-
preme Court of Tennessee, the work would
at once be advertised for letting, aud ere the
eight months expired, the road to be in run
ming order 10 Union city, a distance of four
teen miles Our citizens went promptly to
work, through their committees, and in about
two days time raised upwards of thirty-one
thousand dollars. Stephenson came back
from Dresden, having succeeded in getting
the tax levied by dint of hard work and a
good deal of maneuvering: for the feed-oppo-
sitiOn of an ex-Congressman, the Hon. En-.
Eiheridge, was most pertinacious and logged.
The deficit here, some three thousand seven
hundred dollars has given rise to not little
pickering and i'll feeling; for it was thought
that the East Hickman Company, extensive
property holders here. from what was said,
would bring the subscription up to the re-
9uired amount. 1t may be, tina. for this tri-
fling sum, this great work will be delayed for
some time or, in the end entirely defeated.
1t is to be hoped, however, that the committee
aow attempting to raise the balance will sue
coed, and the work go forward. Without this
road, our city is villagel

Old Rye Whisky" Well. we put it TO our
neighbors candidly: isn't Old Rye Whisky
good for stimulating - Union & American
Our neighbor has more experience on this
subject, we suspect, than we have. We may
say, however. we have heard that it depends,
in a great measure, npon what it is desired to
stimulate and the quantity used. In some
instances, it has been known to be relaxing
instead of stimulating; Lmbertng instead OF
sifendy. Old Buck, from his past history,
would not be suspected of using it as any
thing but a stimalant, or stiffener. -

In about two years we will have completed

Also, our railroad via Little Rock to Full

means for its speedy completion. -.
We also have. (by the confluence OF the
Ohio and the mighty Mississippi at this. the
center of the Union.) the advantages of 49,

capitalists, spectators and business men to
attend the public sale of lots which will COM

next, when the trustees will sell out all, with

An ample guaranty will be given by the

GERS investigate and report the city 10 be be-

will be given because the opinion has gone
forth that all the towns near the mouth of the
Ohio are subject to inundation.
We invite all the world to come, and before
the sale of lots, investigate the unequalled
and controlling advantages secured to Ken
lucky City by the completion of all those
railroads and rivers. and by its being elevated
from two to two hundred and ten feet above
