HOME,

When memory strays among the scones,
That VIC have loved of yorc,
The weary wandcrcr brightly dreams
or happy homo once more
Though pleasures with hor syren voice
Doth lure him far away
Though famo should oIfsr him tho choice sna
Or greatness if he stay
In vain is each nllurcment spread
To tempt him to forget
In vain bright visions round his head
Would Danish all regret.
The music Of n mothers tones
Is ringing in his cars
The playmatcs of his early home
With jocund laughter cheer.
Whcr'er he roams bv fortune lcd,
Though JOY or grief be nigh
Those cherished scenes their radiance shed,
Like sunlight from The sky.

Trying each soeno of tho past to view,

THRILLING EVENT At HELENA.-We learn
by q gentleman, says the Memphis Avalanche
May %, directly from Helena of frightful
occurrence, which had thrown consterna-
tion and intense excitement over that CITY.
Over forty persons were poisoned by partak-
ing Of ice cream last Wednesday, and it is
feared number Of them would die. They
were in q critical condition, and the entire
community was greatly agitated.
The particulars that we wero ablo to gath
or are briefly as follows: The proprietor of
an ice cream saloon, Fren,hman, made
up large quantity ofic cream, The first
Of the season, and it was distributed gratis,
and freely partakeh ofby his friends. Short
ly aiterward, all who tested tho cream were
seized with violent pain, and The most of
them were prosirated and in critcal con,
'iilion when our informant passed tho city.
Four members Of tho Frcncllman's family
were among thoso afflicted
Mr.. Coolidge, the telegraph operator, and
his wife, wero both down, and the recovery
of tho lattor was considered doubtful.
a bucket full Of The leo cream had been
sent to the Female College and freely par
taken of by the young ladies, and they were
all dangerously taken down. Various 9th
crs were likewise afflicted.
The doctors had analysed some Of the
cream. They pronounced the poison to 10
arsenic. There we're no well-defned con
joctures in regard 10 tho cause of the terri.
BILE affair. Whether it was The work of some
malicious fond, or one Of those terrible ac-
oidcnts which docimate and appal o whole
community, are questions which future
Investigations may answers but in the
meantime the catastrophe remains unox-
planned. We will cndeavor TO lay further
particulars before our readers at on early
