We wish to call the attention of our
readers to the immense stock OF Stoves,
Shelf Hardware, Iron and Steel, now for
sale by our friends JACKSON d LOCKWOOD
We should not think that there was any
war in the country if We were to judge
from the amount Of goods they are re-
ceiving daily. Among other goods land
ing In front of their store, we noticed
nearly one hundred of the celebrated
" Cast Steel Plow," made by CHAs, DEER,
of Moline, Illinois, which, for beauty of
finish and elegance throughout, beat any
thing we have ever seen. These plows
were bought for cash, and will be sold at
the mar ufacturers lowest price We adj
wise our readers to look at them before
buying, as there is no agricultural tool so
useful to farmer as a we'll made pillow.

LITTLE PAULA DIRGE.
BY +. j. oBLINGER.

"The golden bowl is broken 70 The bright silver
chord
OF Life is snapped in twain by Deaths relentless
sword
Thy pinioned spirit fair, mid kindred spirits just
Scars aoft, untrammeled by its late shell of dust.
Yes, thou art gone, lovely babe, dearly-cherishcd
child
On whom thy mother doated, and thy father smiled
With whom thy loving brother-now our only boy
Sported Oft in accents wild with rapturous JOY.
Our hearts are clothed in Sorrows dark mantle Of
gloom
The tender bud is crushed we fondly hoped would
bloom:
The broken link of our circlc-thy vacant chair
Denote, alas! the dreaded Spoiler has been here.
Dear little Paul our thoughts will ever cling to
thee,
Sweet child! from LIES unrathomcd suferings
now free.
Thy race was short-yet what keen pangs ddst
thou endure,
With spirit patient as thy genial soul was pure.
On Fancy's wing our thoughts return to days
gone by.
Ere Hopes bright smile had changed to the deep
heavng sigh.
With what joyous pride we watched thy innocent
mirth,
Nor once e'rr dream'd 50 short would be thy stay
eartn;
Thy dmpled cheek thy bright blue eye, thy form
so fair,
Nor e'en thy joyous smile, revealed that Death
would tear,
Alas so soon, the darling babe we loved so well,
From throbbng hearts enchained in Loves all
powerful spell.
But thou art gone and, though we miss thy pres
ence here,
oh ! may we ever feel thy genial spirit near!
BE thou our lowering guardian-our angel guide
To that bright land in which the strong in Truth
confide.
