verize the Jumps upon the surface and rake
it smooth. Mark off the rows two to two

POETICAL.
I AM DYING.

The following beautiful poem is from the Men
phis Bulletin. 1t is rarely we. find such contribl
tons to the columns of newspaper 1t is sweet
cad:
Raise my pillow, husband dearest
Faint and fainter comes my breath
And these shadows stealing slowly,
Must, l know, be those of death;
Sit down close beside me, darling,
Let me clasp your warm, strong hand,
Yours that ever has sustained me,
To the borders of this land.
For your God and mine-our Father
Thence shall ever lead us on;
Where upon throne eternal,
Sits His loved and only Son;
I've had visions and been dreaming
O'er the past of joy and PAIN
Year by year I've wandered backward,
Till l was child again.
Dreaming of girlhood, and the moment
When l stood your wife and bride,
How my heart thrilled Loves triumph,
In that hour of woman's PRIDE
Dreaming of thee and all the enrh.cords
Firmly twned about my heart
Oh the bitter burning anguish
When l first knew we must part.
1t has passed and God has promised
All thy footsteps to attend
lie that's more than friend and brother,
He'll be with you to the end
There's no shadow DER the portals,
Leading to my heavenly home
Christ has promised life immortal,
And tits He that bids me come.
When ife's trials await around thee,
And its chilling biows SWELL
Thoult thank heaven that I'm spared then,
Thouft then feel that "all is we'll"
Bring our boys unto my bedside
My last blessing let them keep
But they're sleeping-do not wake them
They'll learn soon enough to weep.
Tell them often of their mother
Kiss them for me when they wake,
Lead them gently in ife's pathway,
Love them doubly for my sake;
Clasp my hand still closer, darling,
This, the last night of my life
For to-morrow l shall never
Answer when you call me "wife."
Fare thee well, my noble husband,
Faint not meath the chast ming rod
Throw your strong arms around our children,
Keep them close to thee-and God.

BRIDAL TESTS. How thankful our "well
educated" young ladies of this day must
feel that they do not live among such half
civilized people as the HISTORIANS must be,
from the following account of one of their
wedding customs: After the marriage cere-
mony has been performed, the wedding
party is taken in wagons to the house of the
bridegroom's parents. When the second
wagon, 10 which the bride is seated alone,
reaches the gate opening into the yard in
which the house Is situated, it is halted, and
the bridegroom's mother comes to meet it.,
with baby and three suits of baby clothes
in her arms. She throws the child aud the
clothes into the arms of the bride, who is
required to undress and dress the baby three
times in the presence of her motheri in law,
who watches every movement, as only Il
mother. in law can watch a daughterin.law
If the newly. made bride does not perform
the operation to the satisfaction of her So
we're judge, she is considered unfit for the
position the wagon is turned round, and
she is taken back home for further instruc-
tion, and the poor bridegroom is compelled
to live in single blessedhess until his wife IS
educated up to the proper standard,--Ee'
DIDN'T ENJOY HERSELF Az usUAL.-As
an original expression of heavy grlei, we
doubt if any thing more touching has been
read than the following, of a crushed near,
in Star City. Nevada. Mira. -, OF tnas

into the room of a relative, ana Mi'u'u'
waiting for the usual salptstinns, saia
"Well, Johns dead !"
"Dead is il possible !"
.Yes. dead Died last night ! want you
all to come TO the funeral. The Masons and
Odd Fellows are going to turn out, and We
shall have o beautiful time"
Deaths being of rare occurrence IN the
settlement. of course everybody went to the
funeral. Next day, somebody remarked to
the old lady that there WAS large turnout,
"Yes, indeed. there was" she replied,
,but didn't enjoy myself as we'll as have
at some funerals, the HOSES cut up So"

lShi.>'N NPbiN1 '"'y A'' 'NN''
Mr. EDITOR Il am sorry to observe that
here is want Of harmony among us la re-
gad to our local candidates. This should
not be, for we are on the eve OF the most
important campaign that has ever engaged
the American people. It's issues are trc-
mcndous. They involve the life, the liberty
and the prosperity Of the nation Dcmoc-
racy Or Dcspotism is to rule, as the result of
the decision of the people this fall. Wheth-
or We are to rest pcaccably under the wings
of the Eagle Of Liberty, or crouch in fear
under the glittering sword Of the Tyrant
hung over us. have no fears but that our
party will be united in the final struggle !;
still, every local question has its influence,
and we cannot afford to waste particle Of
our strength, or give the enemy the least
advantage. We want not only the centre to
be watched with ceaseless vigilance, but the
out.posts to be guarded with great care.
We want not only man to sit in the chair
of the nation whose abilities as a statesman
will enable him to understand the "situa-
tion," and whose love of the whole country,
his moral principle and heroic frmness, will
dispose him to act for the good Of the whole
of the States and the people, but we want
men of true principles in Congress, in the
State Legislature, in county, and even in
township offices, for call arc parts Of one
ssipcnduous whole"
In the selection of candidates, therefore,
let the first consideration be the necessary
qualifications of the man for the Office he is
to fill, and then, SO far as it can be done con-
sistent with this idea, concedc to each part
of the county the rights that belong to them.
We think that the trouble in regard to the
Representative question originated in the
oficiousuess of certain individuals in select
ing a candidate for the upper part Of the
county. 1t seems to have been conceded
that the right belongs to us, with the pro-
viso implied "that We be allowed to name
the man," While we claim the right Of the
Representative this year, we do not conccdc
to the "proviso." We think that we are
as well capable Of Judging Of the ''most
suitable person for that Office" as others. 1t
is true, that We of the ''back townships
are not generally as intelligent as they are in
some other parts Of the county yet we are
improving, and think VIC arc able to go
without leading strings" One thing We
have learned is, that Bloomsburg, however
much VIC may rejoice in its improvement and
prosperity as our county-seat, is not Colum'
bia county; and another thing We are be-
ginning to find out, that few men who re-
side at TIC county-sea are not all OF Blooms
burg. There are other men there who want
10 live, and should live, and shall live.
Our objections are not SO much to the men
named, as the selecting of them for US. We
c,r,l have done that ourselves, and have

The Seasons Of Life.

The years glide by, and on their wings
Our dearest memories bear;
While constant changes round US seem
Occurring everywhere.
As on the sea Of Time we roll,
Till its tempestuous waves
O'erwhelm US, and we sink to rest
In deep, oblivious graves.
Life's morning sunbeams softly fall
On ChildhoOd's happy days;
We while away the merry hours,
Amid our sports and plays.
Such is the sunny side Of lifc,--
The Spring time Of the year.
When, in our primal innocence,
No earthly cares appear.
Spring glides away; its flowers fade;
Its pleasures soon are gone;
And Summer comes; in life we put
Our manly vigor on;
And, forth to toll upon the world,
We leave our childish plays,
To rear the forms that Fancy built
In dreams Of youthful days.
The transient Summer disappears,
And "Autumn's solemn form"
Appearing on Times troubled waves,
Foretells the Wintry storm.
The golden harvest Of the year
Is gathered and in store,
We leave the toll for younger hands,
Our fathers left before.
The old, old year soon glides away,
By Wintry cares oppressed,
And heavy with the frosts of age,
We long to lie at rest.
The past seems like feeting dream,
And soon Life's yellow sun
Sinks down beneath the sea Of Time,
Our earthly cares are done.
