Fadeless is a Loving Heart.

Sunny eyes may lose their brightness;
Nimble feet forget their lightness
Pcarly teeth may know decay;
Ravern tresses turn to gray
Cheeks be pale and eyes be dim,
Faint the voice and weak the limb
But though youth and strength depart,
Fadeless is a loving heart.
Like the little mountain flower;
Peeping forth in weary hour,
When the summers breath is fled,
And the gaudier flowerets dead:
So when outward charms are gone,
Brighter still doth blossom on,
Despite of Times destroying dart,
The gently, kindly, loving heart.
Wealth and talents will avail
When on life s rough sea we sail
Yet the wealth may melt like snow,
And the wit no longer glow;
But more smooth well find the sea,
And our course the fairer be,
IL our pilot when we start,
Be kindly loving heart.
Ye in worldly wisdom old
Ye who bow the knee to gold,-
Does this earth as lovely seem,
AS it did in life ) young dream,
Ere the world has crusted DER
Feelings good and pure before
Ere ye sold in Mammon's mart
The best yearnings of the hearth
Grant me, Heaven. my earnest prayer
Whether life of ease or care
Be the one to me assigned,
That each coming year may find
Loving thoughts and gentle words
Twined within my bosom's chords,
And that age may but impart
Riper freshness to my heart

The Prosperity of Our Country.

Inc prosperity OF Our Country.
A comparison of the production of
the principal articles during the past
few years could not fail of convincing
the most incredulous that the health
and prosperity of the country are fully
adequate to the great task which has
devolved upon the Governmcnt-that
Of maintaining the National existence,
by overpowcring the rebcllious elc-
ment which was lately spread over so
vast an area, but which is being gradu-
ally contracted by means of the ire
sistible power OF the United States
Government. The prosperity of the
country is certainly very marked
and when we consider the delcterious
influences ever exerted by war on all
branches of trade and commerce, it
seems wonderful that it is so. But ii
is evident that the people are fast COM
ing to more fully appreciate the al.
vantages which we enjoy. as compar-
ed with the state of affairs within the
contracting limits of the Confederacy.
and doing this, insures a perfect reli-
ance in the ability of the Government
to bring the war to successful issue
to restore to us the United States of
America, in their entirety, all the more
formidable because of the fiery ordeal
through which they have been called
to pass in order to establish the i'm
possibility of disintegration as appli-
ed to our country.

A female slave was recently sold in
Richmond for 5000. She was entire
~ white, hence the remarkable price
commanded. This is one of the beau
tiful features Of that divine, peculiar
institution" which must not be dis
cussed. This wretched female slave
is probably the half-sister of some ele-
giant lady who moves in the best cir.

as death about such shocking cases,
but still take delight in holding up to

more fuel for the fire within the body

Pure air is essential, but let it not
come in chilling currents upon man or
beast. With ventilators above for the
escape of bad air, there will generally
be enough good air stealing in almost
insensibly through the seams and
crevices if not, admit it from some
point where it will not blow directly
upon the animals. Every stable
should have one glazed window, and
better several.

HAPPY OLD AGE.

feel that age has overta'en
My steps on life 5 descending way,
But time has left no lingering pain,
No shadow of ar evil daj;
And you, my children, gg ther near
To smooth and solace my decline,
And have hope that your career
Will be as blest as r.ine.
Not all exempt has 'een my sky
From threatening storm and lowering cloud
But sunhursts shed from source on high
Have cheered my spirit when it bowed.
Not all without the shard and thorn
Has been my patti from first to last,
But springs of flowers, of Mercy born,
Have soothed me us passed
And now my mind AL clear and cool
AS serenely talk or muse
Is tranquil as yon CLASSY pool,
Retlecting autumn's 5 sunset hues
Time has not dulled my moral sense.
Nor has it dimmed my mental sight;
No passions weaken my defence,
No doubts and cares atfright.
But Retrospection, even yet,
viii lead me through past trodden ways,
And L remcmber-why forget rE
The magic of my early days
All nature SO diyincly wrought,
The unravelled mystery of things,
Awoke me to exalted thought,
And lent my spirit wings.
And remember how grew
Up to the sunny noon of youth,
From youth to manhood, till knew
That love was near akin to truth.
My trials, bravely overcome;
My triumphs, not of purpose vain
All these, with vague but pleasant hum,
Still murmur through my brain.
NY children, offspring of tree
Whose top is Loary with decay,
Whose trunk is shaken as may be
Before it falls and fades away
Receive what faithful men unfold,
Revere what truthful men proclaim,
And. before Heaven and man, uphold
The honor of my name. . =.
For me, have no mortal fear, o.
No tremblings as hurry down;
Ny way is clear, the end is near,
The goal, the glory, and the crown.
Then shed no bitter tears for me,
As We consign me to the dust;
Rather rejoice that l shall be
With Gcd, my strength and trust.

Boosted People.

People who have been bolstered up
and levered up all their lives, are sell
dom good for anything in crisis
When misfortune comes, they look
around for somebody to cling to or
lean upon. If the prop is not there
down they go. Once down, they are
as helpless as capsized turtles, or un-
horsed men in armor, and they cannot
find their feet again without assist
ance. Such silken fellows no more
resemble self-made men who have
fought their way to position, making
difficulties their stepping-stones, and
deriving determination from their de-
feat, than vines resemble oaks, or
spluttering rush-lights the stars of
heaven. Efforts persisted in to achieve
ments train a man to self-reliance !;
and when he has proven TO the world
that he can trust himself, the world
will trust him. We say, therefore,
that it is unwise to deprive young
men of the advantages which result
from energetic action, by boosting" 1"
them over obstacles which they ought
to surmount alone. No one ever swan
we'll who placed his confidence in a
cork jacket and if, when breasting
the sea of life, we cannot buoy our
selves up and try to force ourselves
ahead by dint Of our own energies,
we are not worth salvage, and it is of
little consequence whether we "sink
or swim, survive or perish
