There was full audience of ladies and
gentlemen at the public meeting of tho
Shockoc Hill Literary Society on Thurs
day. The quarterly Grafton, by Mr.. o. A.

at some OF the meetings which it has been
our pleasure to attend, W. have seen much
talent and skill evinced in the handling Of
subjects of debate.

The DISTILLEKIES AND THE bRAND JURY.
The grand jury OF the United States Cir
cult Court have been very buSily engaged
during the last two days in considering
the cases Of the distillcrs of this city and
its vicinity. No definite action has at yet
been arrived at, and from what We have
been able TO learn, nothing will be done
with them. There is, however, one thing
which may be said in their favor, and the
facts will bear us out in the assertion, that
the dstillcrs in this district have paid
larger tax into the treasury, in proportion
to their business, than in any other city oil
the Union, north or south.

All, dearest these delightsome days,
Like jewels on earth breast are lying,
The sky is robed in golden haze,
And chickens are just right for frying.
Although at noon It's burning hot,
AS If old Plato were the winner,
A savory fragrance from the pot
Foretells most delicious dinner.
Let's scout the shades our fancies weave,
And scorn the troubles that beset US,
Pour balmy oil on wounds that grieve,
And salad oil upon our lettuce.
The winters gone, with wind and storm,
Like some stern giant, Oyertaken;
Gone with him is the hideous form,
Of dinners made of rice and bacon.
The oriole sings the liveleng day,
The champion lifts its purple button,
The lambkins in the meadow play,
AS if impatient to be mutton.
Over wide beds of glowing phlox,
High up the hill the sunshine reaches,
The violets hide betwixt the rocks,
And soon, dear, we'll have milk and
peaches.
So let US have our joy to-day,
And fling aside perpleXlng queries,
While golden dreams around us play,
And golden cream around our berries.
Let's take the bounty nature yields,
Forget the ills that chafe and harden,
Take thoughts of beauty from the fields,
And peas in plenty from the garden.
Well heed the spring -times merry call, ,
Nor care for fate, the subtle spinner,
Take blessings humbly as they fall,
And lamb with parsley Tor our dinner.
