THE Low, SWEET CHIME.

u i.1I
There il low, deep music in the wind,
Sounding at intervals when all is still,
Heard only by the pure in heart who find
Joy in their daily task, doing their Makers
s8 will.
Be they in velvet clad, or russell stole,
In hall or hut theirs is that low, sweet
chime,
Solemn, yet cheerful, speaking to the soul
ofjoys that rest not in this stranger cline.
Loud music cannot quench il, nor the sound
ofmighty voices, like the mingled roar
OftossiiIg waves that with delirious bound
Leap onward in their fury to the shore;-
Nor yet the Earring sounds of busting life,
Whose weary footsteps toll in quest Of gain
In dusty marts, mid sickening scenes of strife,
Till the worn spirit longs for rest-in vain.
Yet few do hear it, either care or pride,
Or thoughts unholy, folly, grief, or crime,
Whelming the soul beneath their rushing tide,
Hinder the coming of that low, sweet chime
Mems hearts are heavy, or they would not
slight au 4LA6
Their spirits oneness with so pure strain
Though faint as when the far-of torrents
Seems as murmur stealing DER the plain.
From source far mightier comes that low,
sweet sound
Than deep, deep waters laundering on the
ear;
From harps, and mingled voices that resound
With anthems high through heavens eternal
wear. E4 ANON

LEGENDARY Snor.-We are credibly informed
that Mr.. Burton Lovejoy of Jasper county
killed one of his own negroes on Friday night
last, under the following circumstances He
had some apprehension that his clubhouse
would be fired. We do not know upon what
grounds his app.shensions were based, but on
Friday night he took his gun and stationed
himself in view of the clubhouse. He had not
been waiting great while before he saw some
person stepping up to the clubhouse, lie wait
ed until he saw a match lighted, and while he
was in the act of applying it to the house, Mr..
Loveioy fred at him and killed him instantly.
When he came to examine the culprit, he found
that he was one of his own negroes.-CoUiag-

RsS4 At Boulogne, during the reception
Of Her Majesty, a number of English la

pressed with so much force against the
soldiers who were keeping the line, that
the latter were, inssome instances, Obliged
to give way, and generally were-to use

The officer in command, noticing the state

FACTS. A man who has not sense en-
ough to know where, how and when to
plant fruit or shade tree, will never have
one-should not at least.
We read an article in newspaper the
other day, whole column long, giving d.
rections how to build smoke house. A
man who has not sense enough to know
what kind of a smoke house he needs, and
how to build it, or have it done, would
hardly be apt to have anything to put in
one if somebody were to build it for him.
We saw book not long ago, written
purposely to instruct housewives how to
make corn bread A woman who docs not
know how to bake corn bread, is not worth
the price of a marriage license.
A farmer who does not provide some
kind of shelter for his stock during the
winter, ought to be bored with gimblet
for the simples.

Or SEAsoXs.-There il very common, and
very old notion, that what are called cooling
medicines should be taken at particular periods
OF the year, especially in the spring. Every
practitioner will occasionally be consulted on
this subject, and very often great disposition
is shown by medical men to fall in with popu-
lar views Many poor child has been con-
demned TO n pot of birthstone and treacle
merely because it was spring time imagin-
parents are not always ready to carry ont these
views in their own cases. Hippocrates adyoe
Gates such system in his 47th aphorism, Sec
ton vi. "If bleeding orpurging be requisite"
says he "spring is the most convenient time for
either He repeats the same view in other
places. There was great deal of Importance
attached to seasons in the treatment OF diseases
by the old medical authorities but we find
very little on this subject in our best modern
works. For my part dontsee why we should
take physic unless we are i'll. The public have
very curious, and, | should think, very Hide
fined ideas of cooling physic, and of medicines
for purifying the blood. That the ancients set
considerable Importance on seasons, will APP
pear from the most casual inspection of their
works Thus .Etius in his directions for the
cure of the govt. laid down distinct regimen
for each month. lin September, the diet
should he wholly milk in October, garicmust
be eaten; in November bathing is prohibited;
in December, cabbage in January, the patient
shouldtake glass of pure wine every morning;
in February, he must not eat beef; in March,
he must mix sweets both with his eatables and
drnkables; in April, he must refrain from
horse-radish and in May, from the fish called
polypus in June, he must take cold water in
the morning; in July, abstinence must he
practised in August, he must not eat mallows.

SOME NosE.-Deacon G -, Of
Hartford, Conn, is well known to be pro-
vided with an enormous handle to his
countenance, in the shape of huge nose;
in fact, it was remarkable for its length
On late occasion, when taking up a col
lection in the church to which he belong
ed, as he passed through the congregation
every person to whom he presented his
hat seemed to be possessed by sudden
and uncomfortable desire to laugh. The
deacon did not know what to make of it.
He had often passed it round before, but
no such effect had he witnessed. The Sc
cret, however, leaked out. He had been
afflicted day or two with sore on his
nasal appendent, and placed small piece
of sticking plaster over it. During the
morning of the day'in question the plaster
had dropped off; the deacon seeing it, as
he supposed, on the floor, picked it up
and stuck it on again. But, alas for men
who sometimes make great mistakes, he
picked up instead piece of paper which
the manufacturers of spool cotton paste on
the end of every spool, which reads, 'war
ranted to hold out 200 yards Such a
sign on such nose was enough to upset
fine gravity of any congregation.

was going down, with his eyes gazing on
that celestialorb as tsunk into the western
horizon, direction which he well knew
pointed to the lostbut never forgotten home
of his nativity.
With difficulty he sustained the wants
of nature by fishing about the rocks, gath
ering muscles, and sometimes receiving a
scanty pittance of corn from the house on
the point, or few pence from a passing
stranger.
He studiously avoided, as far as possible,
all intercourse with his fellow-man, and
sought to live and die in solitude; and SO
did he continue to live life which mani
testify appeared burthen to him, till one
morning, as the sun rose, not two years
past, his body was found on the beach a
stiffened corse, stretched out and bleaching,
as it were, in the white foam of the surf
which was thrown about his lifeless re-
mains as the mighty wave broke on the
shore.
It is presumed his death was accidental
that whilst searching for shell-fsh in
the night amongst the cliffs he must have
fallen from an eminence, and thus termi-
mated his solitary existence.
