GOD BLESS YOU.


How sweetly fall those simple words
Upon the human heart,
When friends long bound by strongest ties
Are doomed by fate to part.
You sadly press tire hand OF those
Who thus in love caress you,
And soul responsive beats to soul,
In breathing out God bless you
God bless you" al long months sgo
heard tn e mournful praise,
When one whom in childhood loved
Went from my dreamy gaze.
Nov binding tears fall thick and fast
mourn my long lost treasure,
While echoes Of the heart bring back
The farewell prayer God bless you"
Tho mother sending forth her boy
To scenes untried and new,
Lisps not studied, stately speech.
Nor murmurs out " adleu."
She sadly says, between her sobs.
Whene'er misfortunes press you.
Come to thy mother. bay. come back"
Then sadly sighs, " God bless you"
God bless you" more OF expressed love
Than volumes without number,
Reveal we thus our trust in him,
Whose eyeiids never sIumber.
1 ask in parting no long speech,
Drawled out in studied measure,
only ask the dear old words,
So swses-sO sad God bless you"

The editor of the Pamela, Miss, Star has
received a warning letter from some one
claiming to be a Tennesseean. Here is
whathe says about the letter:
We have received aIetter from one of the
piano and silyer-ware thieves of the late war,
dated Purdy, Tenn, July, 10Th and signed
!" Ex-Federal Soldier, in the Radical Camp.
He makes some dire threats against US, and
warns as that all the Federal soldiers are
not dead yet" and then FORGOT to sign his
name to it. We are Of the opinion that if
ali The soldiers are like him, they viii all
die natural DEATHS, if not hung or shot for
lying and stealing. Bat they are not ike
him. 80 soLBIEB ever f0rgets to sign his
name to a letter Ike that Lie radical
villain, which means that he is a thief and
habitual liar, and we 90 not fear or favor
any such yagabonds. The citizens Of Purdy,
if he will eondescend to make himself
known, ought to kick him outof tho State.

To Freshen Salt F1sA.-Many persons
who are in the habit Of Eeshening mackerel,
or other salt fish, never dream that there is
a right and wrong way to do it. Any person
who has seen the process Of eyapOrating go;
ing on at the salt works, knows that the salt
falls to the bottom. Just so it is in the pan
where your mackerel or white fish lies soak
ing; and, as it lies with the skin side down,
the salt viii fall to the skin, and there re-
main; when if placed with the flesh side
down, the salt falls to the bottom Of the pan,
and the fish comes out freshened as it should
be. In the other case it is nearly as salt as
when put in.

Population,

These ports have a foreign commerce of $780,
O0O, 600, and an enormous domestic trade, beside
which we have the immense internal commerce Of
the Empire, radinting from these points, through
its canals and nayigable rivers.
The cable being laid, this Company proposes
erecting land lines, and establishing speedy and
trustworthy means ef Communication, which must
command there, as everywhere else, the commu-
nieations Of the Government, Of business, and Of
social life, especially in China. She has no pos
tai system, and her only means now of eommuni-
eating information is by oouTiers on land, and by
steamers on water.
The Western World knows that China is a
very large country, in the main denssIy Peopled;
but few yet realize that she contains more than
third Of the human race. The latest returns
made to her central authorities for taxing PurpO-
ses by the local magistrates make her population
-Four Hundred aa1 Fourteen Millions, and this is
more likely to be under than over the actual ag-
gregate. Nearly all of these, who are over ten
years old, not only can but do read and write.
Her civilization is peculiar but her literature is
as eztersi as that Of Europe. China is a land
of teachers and traders; and the latter are ex-
cecdiDgly quick to avail themselves Of every
profered facility FOR procuring early information.
It is observed in California that the Chinese make
great use of the telegraph, though it there trans
nits messages in English alone. To day great
numbers Of feet steamers are owned by Chinese
merchants, and used by them exclusively for the
transmission Of early intelligence. If the tele-
graph we Proposs, connecting all their great sea-
ports, we're BOW in existence, it is believed that
its business would pay the cost within the first
two years of its sue cessful operation, and would
steadily increase thereafter.
No enterprise eommends itself as greater de-
gree remunerative to capitalists, and to whole
people Il is of vast national importance com
nereially, politically, and evangelieally-
The stock of this Company has been unquali-
fedly recommended to capitalists and business
men, as a desirable investment by editorial arti-
eles in the New York Herald, Tribune, World,
