proach tho oven lest he should molt.

him of boing his murdorcrs

How sweet tho rest that labor yiclds
The humble and the poor.
Where sits the patriarch ot the fields
Before his cottage door
Tho lark is singing in the sky,
Tho swallows on tho caves,
And love is bcamjng in each eve,
Beneath the summer leaves
The air amid his fragrant bowers
Supplies unpurchuscd hoalth
And hearts are bounding mid the flowers
Moro dear to him than wealth.
Peace, like tho blessed sunlight, plays
Abound his humblc cot,
Aud happy nights and cheerful days
Divide his lcwly lot.
And when the village Sabbath bell
RingS out upon the gale,
Tho father bows his head to toll
Tho music of its tale
4 frcshcr ycrduro seems to fill
The fair aud dowy sod,
And every infant tongue is still
To bear the word OF God.
o, happy hearts to him who stills
The ravens when they cry,
Aud makes the lily meath tho hills
So glorious to the cyr--
Tho trusting patriarch prays to bless
His Iabors with increase;
Such Ways are ''Nays of pleasantnoss,
And all such paths arc peace

IT NEVER COMES AGAIN,

There are gains for all our losses.
Thcrc are balms fD: all our pains ;
But when youth, tho dream, deserts,
1t takes something from our hearts,
And it never comes again.
We arO stronger, We arc bottcr.
Under mauhood's stcrncr reign:
Still We feel that something sweet,
Followed us with flying feet,
And will mover como again.
Something beautiful is vanished,
And We sigh for it In vain;
We behold it everywhere,
On tho earth aud in tho air,
But il never comes again.
The Jeffersonian Democrat. [volume] (Chardon, Ohio) 1854-1865, 1859-08-19

A BEAUTIFUL ExTRACr.-There lies in
the depth of every heart, that dream OF
our youth, and the chaslened wish OF
manhood, which neither cares nor honors
can ever cXlinguish-the hope of one DAY
resting from the pursuits which absorb
us; ot inIerposing between old age and
the tomb, some interval of reflection
when, with feelings not subdued, but
sortened, with passions not exhausted,
but mellowed we may look calmly on
he past without regret, and on the future
without apprehension,
But il the tumult OF the world. this
vision forever recedes MS We approach it,
the passions which have agitatcd our life,
disturb our latest hours, and we go down
to the tomb, like the sun in ocean, with
no gentle and gradual Withdrawing of life
to the source which gave it, but su'len in
its fiery glow long after it has lost its
power and splendor.

How To RESTORE PEopLE Wn) FAINT.
anybody faints, instead OF
making noise, or dashing water upon
him, lay him at full length on his back on
the floor, loosen his clothing, push the
crowd away, SO as to allow the air to reach
him, aud let him alone. The philosophy
Of a faintiEg fit is. the heart fails to send
the proper supply of blood 10 the brain,
II the person is erect, that blood has to be
thrown up hill but flying down, it has
to be projected horizontally. Which re-
