BREAKING .JP.-When they furrow
the earth till it puts on the subdued
smile Of the matron; when the Wild
flowers and the old trails are s'turned
under by the sliftering share, they say
they are breaking up.
When the rivers, glazed by the cum
ming hand Of Winter, burst their crys-
tai setting, and roll q turbulent tide,
they stand upon its banks and say,
''breaking up.
When frame that has borne itself
erect amid many a winter, begins to
tremble and to bend, and "thcy that
look out Of the windows begin to grow
dim, and the daughters Of music are
getting low, then the world says,
.:breaking up-breaking up.
When the home halloWed by memo
ries, is dismantled; when the fire goes
out upon the hearth, and the clock rttas
down; when the old armchair is Va
cant, and the shrine of ali human aii'ee-
ton is tenantless, then once more they
say, "breakimg up, breaking up.
Sad words-unheard in Eden, un-
known in Heaven.

SHENANDoAHH oUsE.-We are happy
to announce to the public that the above
named new and elegant Hotel is now
open for the reception of guests. In all
the arrangements of his house, Mr..
Fellers, the gentlemanly proprietor, has
had an eye to good taste, as well as to
the comfort of those who shall sojourn
with him. His rooms are spacious, COM
modious, and well furnished. His table
is all that could be expected from a
generous host, and skilfully conducted
cuisine. His Bar is richly supplied with
the best of liquors-and the attendance,
under his own personal direction, is
marked by that promptness and polite
ness which are SO essential to the comfort
Of guests.
MS Hotel is an ornament and an at
traction to our city, and of its marked
success, we have no doubt.
At the opening Of the Shenandoah, on
Monday last, a large number of our citi-
zens called on Mr.. Fellers to tender
their congratulations to him on the
completion of his beautiful House, and
their wishes for his future success. It is
hardly necessary to add, that they were
cordially received and elegantly enter
tanned.
