ON auARp.

At midnight, on my lonely beat.
When shadows vrzp the wood and lea
A vision seems my view 70 greet
OF one at home who pfays for me.
No roses bloom upon her cheek
Her form is not q lovers dream
But on her face, 50 kind and meek,
A host Of holier beauties CLEAN.
For softly shines her silver hair;
A patient smile is on her face,
And the mild, lustrous light of PRAYER
Around her sheds-s saint-like grace.
She pleads for one who's far AWAY
The soldier in his holy fight
And trusts that Heaven in mercy may
Protect her boy and bless the Right.
And although leagues lie far between,
This svest communion Of her heart
Steals o'er our souls with breath serene.
And We no longer are apart
So, guarding thus my lonely beat,
By shadowy wood and haunted lea,
That vison seems my view TO greet,
OF her at home who prays for me.

TIE BIT OF "SrRIPxp BusTrEe"
AeAra.-The tone of the London
Times grows more and more bitter to-
ward the United States. The editor,
like common scold. lashes himself in
to q rage by the strokes of his own pen.
and pouFs out contemptuous and con-
tenptible language on every thing
American. There is no nsguauimity
in the indiscriminate abuse. Even our
poor little navy is abused in the most
lubberly style. and scorn fairly curls the
lip when so Insignificant a subject is re-
ferred to. We are tainted with the
fact that the Sumter is still at large in
spite Of our navy; that our blockade is
no blockade at an; that the Harvey
Birch has been burned in the English
channel; and are told how ineffably
"cheap" England holds our whole ma
val establishment. This is all doubt.
less very true, but if the rulers of Eng
land follow the insensate course recon-
mended by the Times, and force war
upon our bands, it is quite likely that
they will have ne reason, at the end ol
it, TO complain of the small size of our
navy. Indeed if our Government is
wise, it will exert itself to the utmost
to remove this cause of complaint as
speedily as possible. If we were more
upon an equality with England in this
respect, peace would be more certain.
We are not disposed, however, to take
the Times for a prophetin this matter.
It is very much inclined to allow its feel
ings to influence its predictions. 1t is
within the remembrance OF some OF the
sexagenarians among US, that the Times
on the eve of the war Of 1919, spoke
equally contemptuously of the Ameri-
can Navy, and predicted that the bit Of
"striped bunting" floating at our mast
heads yeuld be swept from the SEAS
Yet at the end of the war it still float
ed, and more proudly than ever, for its
naughty foe had been taught TO respect
it. There is vitality in resolute
people which cannot be easily destroyed.

on THE DEATH OF REV. o. p. DAVIS.
[BY REQUEST.
Another soul has gone to rest,
Another brave heart beats no more;
He's done with war and bitter strife,
And with oppression sore.
He left his friends without sigh;
He left his children dear,
And bravely marched from home away
A noble volunteer.
And when disunion's threatening cloud
Spread o'er our native land,
He enrolled his name most eheerfully
With g truly noble band.
Tar Ger Virginia's blood-stained soil
They went with right good will,
Until that band Of wandering braves
Halted at Summervills.
When there disease came swiftly on,
And laid its brawny hand =
On him who left hisfamily
For oar beloved land.
Not many weeks had passed away.
Til tbe sad news came at last,
Thst this brave man Of noble soul
Deaths chilling ports had passed.
'Tis hard to bear, and stiIl we know
That he is now at rest,
And in eternal worlds of bliss
His happy soul is blest.
Hemarehed away n life azf hope,
Amid the noble brave:
But the clay y-cold esskef seen returned,
: fit only ff the grave.
We buried hin ksrs by ohio's wsye.
And t1e lived ones clustered round

On the lonely ehurch-yard ground.

Whers his pleasant voice was heard:
But heis gone 10 Q better world than tie.

In the chusch We miss his welcome voice
That scanded in chorus sweet:

He's gone where no more foes shall come,

To disturb bis everlasting peace,

Is it not better thus to die,

That ye may be remembered
Within warriors grave.
He does not sleep IN obseurity,
As many a one has slept,
In lonely grave in foreign land,
Unhonored and unwept.
Sleep on in peace, o, soldier bold
No sound shall break thy sweet repose;
Let green grass deck thy resting place,
Graced with the blushing rose.
May the nightingale most sweetly sing
At evening round his toomb;
Let nsught be seen about that spot
Indicative of gloom.

Lead on their steps to victory
For the wrongs they have received.

This brave young soldier is no more;
'Tis sad. alas, to say
That one 80 young and bold as he
Should die and pass away.
In the weary siekening hospital,
With no dear friendly hand
To soothe his dying moments,
He passed deaths icy strand.
First measles came with cruel hand,
And seized his youthful form;
Next came the scorching fever,
Without omen or alarm
he died as the vslorous may die.
In noble and goodly cause
Fighting for our Constitution,
Our banner and our laws.
When in health and with his comrades,
His duty well was done;
But now his duty's done on earth
his bright career is run.
he was beloved by every one,
And his death has cast q gloom
Which time alone can efface,
For none can fill his room.
Separated from his company
When life's brittle thread was riven;
He sent his love to his comrades ell,
And said, "Meet me in Heaven"
Though far away from his lov'd home
He sleeps beneath the sod,
We know his fall is marked
By our ubiquitary God.
One thing shall comfort all his friends
That he has gone to rest;
No sore temptations snare his feet,

The reports have from our work of last
year fully confirms us in the belief that il has
given general satisfaction in quantity and
quality of rolls. proportioned to the ceanli-
ness, quantity and quality of Wool. This fact,
together With the necessity of the most rigid
economy. in view Of ;he great and pressing
wants of our Government, which must be sus-
ttined in this her hour OF greatest peril, at any
and All sacrifices; and also the scarcity and
high price Of cotton, and the uncertainty of fu-
ture supplies induces us 10 believe that a large
amount of Wool will be worked up the coming
season; and hare therefore prepared ourselves
accordingly, by putting our machines in the
best Of order, and securing the services of Mr.
DAVID JE klNS, fcruier owner OF the mill
and the best Carder in ihe county.
While We thank yot, for past favors, permit
us to admonish every one who procure a
pound of Wool, to bring it to us, well cleansed
(using as little soap possible,l with one
pound Of clcan grease to every lbs OF Wool, SO
that grease it ourselves. just before
