OLD MUSIC.

Back from the misty realms of time,
Back from the years agone,
Family we catch the ringing rhyme,
And hear the melody and chime
OF olden songs, and strains sublime,
Like carol of birds at dawn.
And ever we hear them, soft and low,
Harping their music sweet,
Songs that We loved in the long ago,
Rippling their liquid ebb and Aow,
Drifting their cadence to and fro,
Like the fall of fairy feet.
Some faces our hearts will ever hold,
Some smiles we remember yet.
There were flowing locks like the sunsets
gold,
There were parted lips of Cupid's mould,
And the songs they sang can ne'er grow old
For our hearts can ne'er forget.
The tunes that the voice of girlhood sung,
The chords that We loved full well ~
When hopes were buoyant, hearts were
young.
When fairy bells in the flower-cups rung,
And ever fell from a maiden's tongue,
The words of witching spell.
All, welladay! It's a story past,
Which may not tell again,
Twas happiness too sweet too last;
The heavy clods on her grave are cast,
And her voice is stilled, and above her fast
Falls the soft summer rain.

toms are pimples in the face, and aching in

A SIGNIFICANT COMPARISON

were very forcibly struck with COM
parison made by the Rev. Lysaader
alker in his grafton at Columbia on
the 4th. He stated that he had been
accused by Democrats of comparing
Abraham Lincoln to Jesus Christ. The
Rev. gentleman protested that the
charge was entirely destitute of founda-
ton, for such comparison was on NOR
al grounds abhorrent to him; but bis
political enemies have insisted with such
pertinacity that he did make such a
comparison, as argued wish on their
part that he had made it, The charge
itself, perhaps, had suggested points of
comparison between them, and only one

NAILS IN FRUIT TREEs.-A s;npnlor
TACT. and one worthy to be recorded. was
mentioned to,us few days since bv Mr..
A lexander Drake. of Aibermarle.s IT.
stated that whilst on visit to a neighbor.
his attention vas called to q large 'neacb
e-chard, every tree i'm which was totally
destroyed by the ravages of the worm
with the exception of three, and these were
tho. most thrifty and fourishins peach
trees he had ever seen. The only cause of
their superiority known to his host was an
experiment made in consequence of ohser-
wing that those parts of worm-eaten timber
into which nails had been driven, were
generally sound. When his trees were
about year old, he had selected three of
them, and driven tenpenny nail through
the body, as near the ground as possible.
Whilst the balance Of his orchard had
gradually failed, and finally yielded to the
ravages of the worms. these three trees,
selected at random, treated precisely in
the same manner. with tho exception of
the Mailing, had always been vigorous and
