GOOD THINGS FROM BOOKS.

"There exists peculiar satisfaction in our be-
ing carried by memory out of the present into
the past, which is as difficult to define as it would
be impossible not to feel. The solicitude, fears
and anxictics of the present are all forgotten /;
and these "reminiscences carry MS back to the
pleasant days Of departed youth. However We
may mask, hide, and endeavor to subdue it, there
is a spring ccntered in all hearts, which bounds
to every touch that restores to us the memory
of what has been, but is not. II is Our nature
that stirs within, for who would not, il they
could, tread back the steps of time?'

ThlrtY.nvc Wears Old.

40, weary heart, thou art half way home
We stand on life's meridian height;
As far from childhood's morning come,
As to the graves forgetful night.
"Givc youth and hope parting tear,
Let reason take the guidance now;
Hope promised but to bring us here,
When the blooms fed from off the brow.
Zone backward look-0, childhood's home!
One lingering gaze! the last the last +!
Thus far to death, too quick I've come
One silent tear, for youth is past.
"Who comes with hope and passion back?
Who comes with me and memory on!
Oh! lonely looks the backward track
joys music hushcd, Hopes roses gone.
e" To pleasure and her giddy troop,
Farewell, without sigh or tear;
But hearts give way, and spirits droop,
To think that love may leave us here.
"But stay-as 'twerc a twilight star,
That sends its light across the wave,
see ight'ning light from far,
Steal down path beyond the grave!
&" And now, bless God! its golden line,
Comes DER and lights my shadowy way,
And shows dear hand clasped in mine,
Twill guide me to happier day"

Examination at Syivestria Academy,
Marshall County.


The examination at Sylvestria Academy,
in Marshall County, closed on Wednesday,
June goth. Elder J. II. BRooKs, preached
a very able and sensible sermon. Holding
up the character of the good JOSEPH as an
examplar which young men should strive to
initiate. Then there was some very fine de-
clamation by the boys, for the prizes which
were offered to the three best declaimers.-
The successful competitors were first-F. E.
PIrrs DANIEL, second-WILLrAM J. HoL-
LAND, third-BESJAMIN c. GRAY. After the
speaking by the boys, an address was deliv-
cred to the pupils by r. s. SrIrH, Esq, of
Holly Springs. Mr.. SrrTH took for his sub
ject: Have a plan in Life" and for about
forty minutes entertained us with =" feast of
reason and flow of soul, " rich and palatable.
The address was asked for, to be published
in the Holly Springs Herald.
Thus was finished the work which has
kept us heretofore, from being personally
present to superintend disqualification Of our
paper. Though the universal large hearted
ness of the people in the neighborhood of
Sylvestria, and their ever kind friendship to
us, makes it hard to part from those dear
friends, yet duty calls us here; and in answer
to that call, we are now and expect to con-
tinue to be at our post where work is to be
done. OXFORD is now the home of choice
and all her interests are our interests; and
with our little ability we shall labor jealous
ly to foster and advance those interests.

We have noticed, among the many distinguish
cd strangers who have honored Oxford with their
presence this week, r. II. PuRDoM, Esq, lately
editor of the Jackson Eagle Of the South. Thro'
the columns of his paper we have been long ac-
quaintcd with Mr.. PuRDoM; and we have always
admired him for his acknowledged ability, and
for the manlincss with which he met every issue,
as well as for the many noble qualities of head
and heart which certainly adorn the character
of man who has so large circle of warm per-
sonal friends.

Song.
TUNE-Roy's Wife.

TuSE-Roys Wife.
We part, but by those dewdrops clear,
Ny love for thee shall last forever.
I leave thee; yet thine image dear,
Thy tender smile shall leave me never.
Chorus-Fare thee WELL for must leave thee;
Yet, Oh! let not our parting grieve thee
Happier days may yet be thine,
At least | wish them thine believe me
Oh! dry those pearly tears that flow
One farewell smile before We sever:
The only balm for parting voc,
Is the fond hope It's not forever.
ChOrus-Fare thee well, &c.
Though dark and drcary lowers the night
Calm and serene may be the morrow;
The cup Of pleasure ne'er shone bright
Without some mingling drops Of sorrow.
ClOrus-Fare thee we'll &c.

Nay. Grievc not for the Dead Alone.
BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.

By OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.
Nay, grieve not for the dead alone
Whose song has told their hearts sad story;
Weep for the voiceless who have known
The cross, without the crown Of glOryl
Not where Lucadian breezes sweep,
Der Sappho's memory-haunted billow,
But where the glistening night-dews weep
On nameless sorrows church-yard pillow.
Der hearts that break, and give no sign,
Save whitening lip and fading tresses;
TIL death pours out his cordial wine,
Slow dropped from misery's crushing presses
If singing breath OF echoing chord,
To every Pang were given;
What endless melodies were poured,
As sad as earth, as sweet as heaven
