I Think Of Thee.
TO -- -

When lilies pale and violets blue,
Give back to Heaven their fragrant dew;
When morn in joy and gladness filings
The light from oil her roSeate wings;
When birds awake clatc with s!cc,-
At that bright hour think Of thee
When eve with peaSivc sway appears,
And gently sheds her s'itterlnS tears;
When hreezeS murmur soft and low,
And clouds with gold and crimson glow;
When sunlight fades from flower and tree
At that calm hour think Of thee.
When night leads forth tho silvery queen,
And stars emit their trembling sheen;
When mrtcorS wing their dazzling flight
Across the boundlcSS realms Of listn;
When shadows fall DER land and sea-
\, that lone hour think Of thee.
Eut most of all in visions bright.
Which come in the magic depths Of night,
Mid scenes SO fair they nc'cr arc gwen,
Unless in dreams Of thee and Heaven.
They come-,hcy come-thcse thoughts o
thee,
And hover round in ecstacy.
Or when tho morn. with wistlul glcam,
Rests on nv brow, and breaks that dream;
Or startled from my Slumbcr light
BY some bird-warhier Of the night,
Tho but to murmur one soft strain.
Half wakcnS sings, then sleeps again,
Whilst fancy fingers fond anl free,
Ocr what has been. and what might be -
Then memory thy loved image brings
Flies to my hcsrt and folds its wings.

strange omen which has appeared on tho
battle. field Of Gettysburg. 1t is that OF
. spring Of healing water, Of such mar.
vellous prop critics, and With such.
strange history, rs acclaimed, can only
be ouuted 70. on the. hypothesis, Of
its production by supernatural agency,
and for providcutial purpose. While
it possesses all, aud moro than all tha
medical virtues ofthe bost mineral fluids,
its sensible propertie, ore those of, pure
spring water, from which it is in no.way
distinguishable, except by its effects on
the human system-an unprecedented.
and hitherto doomed impossible combi..
nation. Previous to the battle Of Gct'
tysburg it was known to many Of our
citizens as \ sulphur spring, possessing
all the offensive properties Of its tribe.
since which tiue it has undergone. tho
marvellous transformation which. is now,
witnessed. AS this water combines tho
virtues Of two kinds used by man as ..
nourishment and rs = medicine, it is
maintained that it il prc.eminently CO..
titled to the designation of.a water Of
life ; and its appearance on this battle:
Eeld, where we're con(essedly decided tho
III momcntous Issues involved ia our civil
conflict, is hailed as a sign Of national
deliverancc and regeneration by all who
are super,ti,ious, or who yield to that
species Of cxsltation which tho subject is
50 we'll calculated to inspire. This
strange spring has been visited BY thou,
sands of persons during tho last few
menthc, and the desire to SEQ it, and par.
take of i,s water, has assumed tho form
Of mani,, which is rapidly spreading
among the people. 1t is situated 90 the
McLoau farm, near whero General Rsy.
uolds fell, and where occurred some Of
the most memorable incidents Of. that
great battle. This mysterious water ha,
been an.lyzcd by Professor Mayer: of
the college at this place. but, while chem.
ical science fully explains its medici0al
virtues, it is wholly silent as to ito sen,
sibIe properties, which exclude it from
the category Of known water'.-Gety''
