OLD MUSIC.
AyoxYmors,

Back from the misty realms OF Time.
Back from the years agone-
Family we catch the ringing rhyme, 8
And hear the melody and chime
Of olden songs. OF strains sublime,
Like carol OF birds at dawn.
And ever we hear them, soft and low,
Harping their music sweet,
Songs that we loved in the long ago,
Ripping their hqHid ebb and flow, r
Drifting their cadence to and fro, s''
Like fall OF fairy feet.
Some faces our hearts will ever hold,
Some smiles we remen4ber yet
There flowing locks like the sunsets gold
There were parted lips Of Cupid's mould,
And the songs they sang can ne er grow Ola
For our hearts can ne er forget. 3
The tanes.that the voice of girlhood sung,
The chords that we loved full well
When hopes were buoyant, hearts were young
When fairy bells in the flower-cups rungt
And ever fell from maiden's tongue
The words Of witching spell.
All. well-a-dayi tits a story past, - : ~
Which / may not tell again,
Twas happiness too sweet 10 last; -
The heavy clods on her grave are cast
And heryoce is stilled, and above her falls
Falls the summer rain !

AT Cairo, Illinois, on the 18th instant, a
girl named Sally Porter, fifteen years old,
got up in her night-clothes to start fire
The fire wouldn't burn, and she poured
coal Oil on it, when the can exploded, set
ting her gown on fire. The girl ran into
the street, and gentleman who was pass
ing caught and wrapped his coat around
her, extinguishing the flames. The girl
was terribly burned on the breast, neck,
arms and lower part of the body, and has
since died.
The death of young lady took place
last week in Venango County, from the
effects of inhaling the poisonous gas from
an oil lamp which she kept burning in her
bedroom every night. If it is necessary to
keep light burning, let the wick be kept
fully up and if there is no transom over
the'door, then by all means let one of the
windows down an inch or more FROM the
top, The practise Of retiring to bed in a
close room, with an oil lamp dimly burn
ing, is most dangerous, and the effect upon
the respiratory organs will be seriously felt
sooner or later
