Tears.
BY ALFRED TENNYSON.

Tears, idle tears, 1 know not what they mean;
Tears, from the depth of some divine despair
Rise in the heart and gather to the eyes,
And thinking o oft the hpy days d that are no more
Fresh as the first beam glittering on sail
That brings our friends up from the outer world
Sad as the last which reddens over one
That sinks with all we love below the verge:
So sad, so fresh the days that are no more.
All, sad and strange as in dark summer dawns
The earlest"pipe of half-awakened birds
To dying ears, when unto dying eyes
The casemate slowly grows glimmering square
50 sad, SO strange the days+hst are no more
Dear as remembered kisses after death,
And sweet as those by hopeless fancy feigned
Deep as first love, and wild with all regret,
Q Death in Life, the days that are no more.

The moon shone sadly on the battlefield,
A misty pail Of vapor hung around
And there were lips and eyelids closely seal'd,
And crimson hearts blood sinking in the ground
There manly forms lay stretched upon the sod;
Some held within their grasp the word of God,
While others clutched their weapons-grinn' d as
though
They were in deadly struggle with the foe
There, stretch upon bed of clotted moss,
Lay dead trooper-while his faithful horse
Lick his cold hand; and there a eannonier
Beneath the gun he never=iflore shall hear
Deep in trench color-b bearer slept,
Hugging his flag, beneath whose folds he'd crept
And bear it with him mid the hosts of dead.
The clangor of the fight was still-all hushd
Save the sad murmur of the stream that gush'd
From its high home upon the mountain side,
And struggled onward to some mightier tide
Then, ever and anon, the owlet scream'd,
And the black vulture barrd the light that
stream'd
From the pale moon-while sadly from the hill
Went up the requiem of the whip-poor-will
A mournful sight that moony night reveal d.
King Death enthron'd upon the battlefield

Messrs Editors of ,Staua,ton 8 Spectator,
GENTLEMEN Benjamin E. Green, ESD,
has placed in my hands number of copies OF
the Prospectus of the American Industrial
Agency, for distribution | send you copy
with the hope that it's objects and aim may be
cordially endorsed by you, and that you may
lend the weight of your cooperation and infu-
ence to the furtherance of it's claims. Itstrkes
me very forcibly that it is a movement In the
right direction, and will commend itself to the
Judgment of practical men everywhere, and the
warm approval of us stricken Southerners par
ticularly
Mr.. Green desired me to call your attention
to the fact, that, for the first time since the for
nation Of our government, it has become nee
essary for the interest Of labor to assume an or
ganized form, in order to protect itself from the
domination of capital. He reminds me of the
fact that Mr.. Jefferson, with his deep penetra-
ton and statesmanlike forecast, foresaw such
tendency and expressed his fears of its conse1
quences. Mr. Green handed me a speech,
which he delivered in Baltimore a short time
ago on the same subject, which would be glad
you would get and read.
Please make such use Of the prospectus and
speech as their merits demand
Very Respectfully Yours,
VIM. W. TAYLOR.

MENTAL AND MANUAL LABoR.-Professol
Houghton, of Trinity College, Dublin, has pub
lished some curious chemical computations, re-
specting the relative amount fphysical exhaus
ton produced by mental and manual labor
According to these chemical estimates, two
hours of severe mental study abstract from the
human system as much vital strength as is ta-
ken from it by an entire day of mere hand work.
This fact, which seems to rest upon strictly
scientific laws, shows that the men who do brain
work should be careful, first, not to overtask
themselves by too continuous exertion and sec
ondlv, that they should not omit to take physi
cal exercise each day sufficient to restore the
equilibrium between the nervous and muscular
system

RerneSe Alps.


We take the following extract from letter of
Rev. t. V. Moore, d. D., published in the
Richmond Wing:
There Is to me a strange and terrible beauty
about these Bernese Alps. AS [ write [ can
see them, for many miles, from my chamber
window, and there is a fascination in their daz-
zling splendor lit up, as it is, with the morning
sun; in their unearthly purity as they lift them
selves SO far toward heaven that none of the de-
Elements Of earth can reach them, that is diffe-
rent from my anterior expectation. In this re-
spect they have the same effect on my mind
that Niagara has always had. Before visiting
either expected to have an overwhelming sense
of their sublimity and vastness that would be
almost painful. Bat the aspect in both cases
that rivets my attention is their unearthly beau
ty. Niagara clothed in eternal thunder, and
the Alps In eternal snow, are to my mind, the
grandest symbols of supernal beauty that exist
on earth; and the one, as it pours, in unceasing
ibation, the waters of a continent in symphony
with its undying psalm to that Great Power
from the hollow of whose hand these waters are
ever renewed, and the others, as they stand like
mighty affairs on which the morning and eve
ming sun lays its offerings of gold and amber
are, to my mind, filter symbols of the seraphic
worship OF the upper world than anything else
L have ever seen on earth. Niagara, with its
grand descending mass of emerald and crystal
tells me Of the river that gushes out from the
Eternal Throne while these stainless and gilt
tering Alps that | now see lifting themselves
away, peak above peak of snowy whiteness, tell
me of the hills Of light in that upper world, a.
long whose ascending slopes of dazzling splen-
dor we hope to be led to the fountains of living
waters by the Lamb, where there is none Of
that voiceless solitude and that hfeless desola-
ton that reign in eternal rigor in the frozen re-
glons of these lofty mountains The higher
Alps have been to me a sermon such as mortal
lips never uttered, and such as I do not expect
ever to have fade from my memory. In the
glowing levels of our SUMMER land I expect to
have these white and lofty Alps come up in Wis
ion before my eyes, telling me in their silent ut
terance OF the gllttering ascents Of those hills of
light IN the better country above, where no cha
mois leaps and no eagle scars, but where the
wicked cease from troubling and the weary are
at rest

Evening Boat Song.

The shadows creep across the deep,
And up the silent river,
While softly through the central blue
Faint rays of starlight quiver.
So fades life's light so falls its night,
And mantles all in sadness,
Till stars Of love shine out above,
And fill the soul with gladness.
The homeward main we slowly gain,
With every oar-stroke's cadence,
And leave a shore all peopl6d O er
With fairy men and maidens
'Tis thus we glide on Times dark tide,
To labors solemn measure,
Deaths shore to find, and leave behind
The fowery isles of pleasure.

BISHOP DoGGETT. What shall say of him.
| never fatter-hate putting. Bishop Doggett,
as man, as Christion, gentleman preacher.
and presiding officer, delights-carries every-
body with him. At Richmond, then Lexington,
Missouri, at Clinton, Illinois, and now at Eliza
bethtown, as at Winchester, Kentucky, it is the
same. With such bishop moving through
our States, preaching to the people, infusing
their own energy and zeal into the whole body,
who can estimate the good that will be accom-
plished. Truly, every on must rejoice that
new era has dawned on US as to the Episcopal
work. Our General Conference did us a glori-
Gus work in giving US such men as Bishops Dog
gett McTyeire Wightman, and Marvin, to be
allied with our former bishops And if they all
mix among the people as does he of Richmond,
Virginia, verify go in for four or five more
bishops at least Ditzler, an Baltimore
Episcopal Methodist.

From the Episcopal Methodist

A clumsy foot may tread the right road.
Cowardice is the mother of cruelty.
Peace is that harmony in the State that
health is in the body
We shall best honor the dead by extending
our protection to the living.
The easiest and shortest way for man to
arrive at true glory is really to be what he de-
sres to appear to be.
The appeal to the ordeal of cold iron no,o is
no better proof of right than the hot irons and
burning ploughshares were in Gothic times.

seem blank in the distance, but grow lighter as
they approach A. w. NJ

i DOUBLE TURBINE WATER WHEEL,
Manufactured at Baltimore, Nd, by
II IITT


The subscribers would introduce to the public
the above Wheel Of which they are the sole agents
in this State, as the best economzer of water
known, and pledge themselves to furnish wheels
of this description, that will at least equal in eff
cheney the best overshot wheel in existence
Among the excellencies Of this wheel may be
enumerated the following:
1st. It is cheaper than any other wheel of the
same power.
I'd. From its small size and diminished friction
it has one-third more motion than any wheel of
the same power
Sd. It vii! use more or less water, and with the
same percentages OF power to the amount of water
used
4th 1t can never be frozen up oc affected by
frost in any way.
9TH 1t has given the highest effect due to the
head and amount of water used of any wheel on
record as tested by competent civil engineers.
9Th 1t is completely finished before leaving the
place of manufacture, and adjusted for running
and enclosed in an iron case requiring only to
be coupled to the water wheel shaft.
Circulars containing cuts, explanations and tes-
timonials may be had upon application to the
subscribers.
