A Remarkable Spring in Florida.

There Is, near OcOla, one OF the
largest of the great number of springs
known in Florida. 1t Is known as
Silver Spring. Ifounditin in the midst
of a lone Hammock, overflowing
its banks. 1t bubbled up in a basin
thirty-seven feet deep, and an acre in
extent, filling and ovcrflrwingit, and
sending from it deep stream fifty
or sixty feet wide, and extending
eight or nine miles to the Oklawaha
river, into which it empties. In the
spring itself fifty steamboats, may lie
at anchor, and in the stream fifty
steamboats, of considerable draught.
The spring thus forms natural in
land port, to which three steamers
now run regularly from the st.
Johns. The clcarness of the water
is truly wonderful. 1t seems even
more transparent than air. You
see on the bottom, thirty feet below
the bottom of the boat, the exact
form of the smallest pebble, the out
line and color and shades of color of
the leaf which has sunk. Large fish
swim in it, every scale visible and
every movement distinctly observa-
BILE. The wateris impregnated with
lime and magncsia, but has no appre-
ciable taste and is excellent drinking
water. you go over the basin in
boat you will see the assures in
the rocks, from which the river
pours upward like an inverted cat
aract. There are more of these
springs in tho channel of the stream
further down. Such springs are al
most common in Florida. Caly
spring, near tho cast bank of Lake
Apapka, pours forth navigable
stream into the st. Johns. Bug
springs, on the west side of Lake
Harris, is nearly as large as silver
spring. Ihave laughed ut the story
of a spring in Iowa which was large
enough to turn mill, but 1 can
swallow all such tales now, after hav-
ing seen one that will float fleet

Be Kind to the Loved Ones at Home

Be kind to thy father, for when thou vast young Who loved thee so fondly as hey He caught the first accents that fell from thy
 tongue,
 And joined in thy innocent glee. Be kind to thy father, for now he Is old, His locks mtermingled with gray; His footsteps now feeble, once fearless and bold Thy father Is passing away. Be kind to thy mother, for lo on her brow May traces of sorrow be seen; Ah, well might you cherish and comfort her now, For IoviGg and kind hath sho beer. Be kind to thy mother, for thee she will pray As long as God gyeth her breath, Oh, well thou mightst cherish and cheer her lone
 way
 Into the dark valley of death. Be kind to thy brother, whose heart will have
 deaTth
 If the smile of thy joy be withdrawn; The pleasures of feeling wilt at their birth, If the dew of affection be gone Be kind to thy brother, wherever you are, The love of brother will be An ornament purer and richer by far Than the pearls from the depths of the sea. Be kind to thy sister, not many may know The depths of true sisterly love; The gems of the ocean lie iathoms below The surface that sparkles above, Be kind to thy father, for now he is old Be kind 10 thy mother so dear; Be kind to thy brother, nor show thy face cold; Be kind to thy sister so near

DECAY OF MEMPHIS. The Memphis CTen- nessee) Post says that between four and five thousand persons have left Memphis within the past ninety days. Whole rows of store houses in the most eligible business portion of the city are now untenanted. Dwellings are vacant, the poor have scanty employment, and some are on the verge of Restitution.
 The Post might have added that all this is caused by Radical rule. Before the war, when the negro was compelled to work or starve, in Tennessee, Memphis was one of the thriftiest places in the Union.

WISHING.

0fall amusements Of the mind From logic down 10 fishing, There is not one that you can find So very cheap as "wishing,' very choice diversion, too,
 If you but rightly use it., And not as We are apt Co do,
 Peryert it and abuse it. fwish--a common wish indeed My purse was something latter; That might cheer the child of need, And not my pride to tatter. That might make oppression reel As gold can only make it, And break the tyrant's rod of steel As gold can only break it. I wish-that sympathy and love, And every human passion That has it's origin above,
 Would come and keep in fashioni That scorn and Jealousy and hate, And every base emotion, Were hurled hfty fathoms deep
 Beneath the waves of ocean. wish-that friends were always true, And motives always pure; l wish the good were not so few,
 l wish tue bad were fewer; l wish that persons nC'er forgot
 To heed their pious teaching: wish that practieing was not
 So different from preaching. wish--that modest worth might Dc Appraised with truth and candor; wish that innocents were free
 From treachery and slander; wish that men their vows would mind, That women nc'er were royers; wish that wives were always kind, And husbands always lovers. wish-in fne-that joy and mirth,
 And every good ideal, May come crew hile throughout the earth To be glorious real; Till God shall every creature bless
 With his supremest blessing, And hope be lost in happiness,
