The demand for cou continues good, and

25 cents a ton this month for small quanti-

back, and think Of my home. Alas! 'tis mine

strangers. Other feet press the velvet.lawn on
which I have gamboled in ehildhood's happy
hours other voices echo through the stately
grove. and other hands trail the tender plants

Earth is no longer home for me. feel like a
weary pilgrim waiting impatiently till the sands
of life be run. can never prize thee more, O
transient home, for there is place above, where
the wicked cease from troubling and the weary
are at rest. A Paradise diyiDely fair. None but
the Just have freedom there.
Unfading hope, when life's last embers burn,
When soul to soul, and dust to dust return.
WILLIAMSON. MAGGIE.
