HOME WITHOUT A MOTHER.

What is home without mother,
| Sure its holiest charm is fled;
There may be the sister brother,
Yet it lacks its gentle head
What is home without mother,
When the evening hearth burns fair,
And group who love each other,
Bound in peace are gathered there?
Yet there's one: word controlling,
Ruled each scene of home born ioy;
She is gone-and naught consoling,
Can remove gref7s dark alloy.
Hark! the sacred chime is tolling!
Sweetly falls its measured swell
Memory DER my heart is rolling
Mother loved that sabbath belt.
See the page Of inspiration
Spreads its leaf divinely fair,
Breathing peace and resignation,
Mothers name is written there.
What is home without mother,
While ascend. the household prayer?
Cod is Mere-our grief we smother,
For her place is vacant there.
What is horne without mother,
When afIliction DER it breaks?
Friends are there-yet there's another
That the heart with longing seeks.
Turn, my soul to where bright mansions
by thy God are opened fair;
Thou thaIt find-'mid joys expansion,
Heaven, and Home, and Mother there
LovER.-A man who in his anx-
iety to obtain possession of another,
has lost possession of himself
Lovers are seldom tired Of one an

Let us not, however, disparage this
fond infatuation, for all its tenden-
cies are clevating. lie who had
passed through life without ever
being in love, has had no spring
summer in his existence;
his heart is as a Towering plant
which hath never-nevea devel-
Dpcd itself-never put forth its
beauty and its pertume-nevcr
given nor received pleasure. The
love of our youth, like kennel, is so
lnfamable, that it may be kindled
by almost any match but if its
transient blaze do not pass away in
smoke, its flame, too bright and az
lent to last long, s on exhausts and

naturer age is like coke, which,
when once ignited, burns with a

sr.rH n1R1,E CONVENTION.

Our readers will bear in mind, that the annual
Convention of the State Bible Society, convenes
in this place on Tuesday next, the I'd day of Au-
gust We have been pleased to observe the gen.
eral interest manifested in behalf of this Asso-
citation, and feel assured that our citizens will ex-
tend most cordial welcome to the many repre-
sentatiyes, who may favor US with their presence.
The Executive Committee of this District has al
ready appointed number of gentlemen, upon
whom will devolve the pleasure Of receiving the
Delegates, and making ample arrangements for
their accommodation. Our village has become
.proverbial for her hospitality upon similar occa-
sions, and we doubt'not, that every family will
esteem it privilege to contribute to the enter.
tainment of all who may be present. The object
of this general assembly will certainly commend
itself to the appreciation Of every individual, and
if we mistake not, our community will manifest
its appreciation by large and attentive audiences
We are informed that the efficient Agent, the Rev.
E. A. BoLLEs, will arrive in time to cooperate
with the Committee of Reception. The Rev.
JAMES H. McNE1LI, Corresponding Secretary of
the American Bible Society, is also expected to
he in attendance.

VIhe Grant Iriah Revival.

The last steamer brings intelligence of the con-
tinual increase and power of the remarkable re-
ligous revival in Ireland. 1t is prominent topic
in the newspapers we receive from Great Britain.
One number of the Banner of Ulster has four
columns in small type Of reports Of the various
meetings held, chiefly in Belfast, on the previous
Sabbath, and at its conclusion apologies to its
readers by saying:
$50 wide-spread-we might almost say general
is the revival movement, that it is quite impos-
sible for US to present any thing like full detail
of its progress and results satisfactory notices
of any but the most prominent cases. The move
ment, which must shortly arrest national atten-
tion, progresses in manner which is o subject Of
astonishment to all who witness it, There are now
comparatively few who are skeptical as to the Sc
rious and solemn character of the manifestations,
even among those who at first were skeptical."'
The Belfast News Letter says:
"This extraordinary movement is extending it.
self in Belfast in the most rapid manner. Prayer
meetings are held almost every evening, and are
attended by immense crowds, many amongst
whom are affected with all the external symptoms
already described. There is an evident out pour
ing of the spirit of God in answer to believing,
faithful prayer. The most skeptcal, who'wiil but
attend one of these meetings now held in any of
the churches or other places in this town, will be
compelled to admit that the hand Of the Lord is
visibly at work. and that his blessings attends the
means used for bringing sinners to seek happiness
in Saviour's love. All evangelical denominations
have joined in this good work, and success-mar
vellous success-has hitherto attended their ef
forts. Every Protestant place of worship in this
town is booming rapidly filled. There are no
empty pews now-no uuoccupied seats. Every
evening the streets are crowded with hundreds
and thousands who are vending their way-not to
the place of amusement-not to join in the giddy
dance-not to attend either theatre or or concert
but with their Bibles, hymn books, and psalm
books in their hands, eagerly pressing onward to
the house of God to endeayor to obtain admission
in time so that they may therein hear instructions
as to how they shall escape from the city of de-
struction, and at length reach the Celestial King
dom. AT the services conducted in the different
churches many have been led to seek pardon, and
many profess to have obtained it, and are now 60
ing on their way rejoicing"

For the Yorkvile Enquirer.
nIeBRAYER SPRINGS,

Mr.. Editor Il deem it a real kindness to bring
to the attention of "heath-seekers," the White
Sulphur Spring, owned by Mr.. McBRAYER, and
located 81 miles above Shelby, North Carolina
1t was discovered four years ago. Suitable build
ings have been erected, and it is just beginning to
attract public attention. The water has been SUBJ
jected to chemical analysis, and contains sulphur,
alum, iron, soda, magnesia and lime the two
first are evidently the chief ingredients, though in
the analysis, the relative proportions were not
given. Such q combination is extraordinary, and
it is not extravagant to say that it is one Of
the best Mineral Springs in the South The tenn
pernture of the water is cool enough, and all here
admit it with pleasure, and none complain of its
being too warm. A temperature of icy GOODNESS,
is not desirable in medicinal spring. Thre are
a number Of families here, and there is but one
opinion rs to the excellent qualities of the water,
and the kindness and hospitality of the landlord.
A few yards from the Sulphur Spring there is
Chalybeate, which contains iron, lime AID mag
neisia, and it has been used with advantage by
lnVllluS.
The Hotel is located on very elevated point,
in semi. mountainous region. A short distance
from it one can enjoy a beautiful and extensive
view of Brusay Mountains and the Blue Ridge
The atmosphere is pure and invigora;ing, and the
nights cool and pleasant. The building is hand
some and commodious one, and is we'll kept by one
of the most obliging and kind hearted men J. have
ever known. He spares no exertion in contribu-
ting to the comfort and convenience of his guests.
He is worthy and enterprising proprietor, and
deserves the patronage which he is now receiving,
and which feel confident will be largely increased,
as soon as the virtues of this Spring are more
widely known. W. B. W.

strive to prove to all who feel any interest in me-
that if am the first man who has yentured IN sav

There are many who think that an act of duty.

pressions from few but in the end men think
for themselves, and if know the human heart

misfortunes only as weapons to be employed for

In conclusion, let me ask only one favor of those
who, from whatever motive, may deem it necessa-

upon this sad history; and that's, to aim all their
arrows at my breast, and for the sake of my in

THE LOGIC OF INTEa1PERANCE.

TEMPERANCE has been traced to the whereabouts"

did the saviour of siners that turned the water

as of no uce in it what did the saviour apolnt
bread & wine to be used to comorate his dying
love to siners: if the saviour had allowed nothing
but water would he not took the cup of water

for adifferent purpose was paul speaking Of COM

would it be better to com to christ & be clothed
