"Jerusalem, the golden,

REMEDY FOR DIARRHGA.-Hot
milk has been very successfully
tried in Bengal as a remedy for di-
arrhea. A letter from a resident
says, that a pint every four hours
will check the most violent diar-
rhea, stomach ache, inefpient chol-
era or dysentery. 1t is perfectly
soothing TO the whole alimentary
canal. Half q pint every meal,
generally, reduces gradually and
pleasantly any ordinary disrrhea.

We shed our tears like summer rain
When some beloved spirit flies,
For, though we count our loss his gain,
Unbidden drops will blind our eyes;
But, weeping for him, we forget
Those dearest to him left TO earth,
Who, mourning at his grave, have yet
To mourn for aye lonely hearth
He is ut rest, they are in tears;
The heavy cross they have TO bear
In sorrow, through the coming years,
We may not fully know or share;
But sympathetic words can steal ldart,
Some pang from Deaths scre-tounding
And heartfelt tears, ike balm-drops, heal
Some untold agony Of heart.
Then 10 the ncuraef, not the deEd,
Let tribute Of our tears be given
By every drop that thus is shed
We gain . stronger bold on beaver.
For every tear, q pearl Of price,
Shall deck the res1nents, spotless white,

'Tis night--an autumn starry hour
The waning moon is in the West
DEVELOPS gem each lingering flower.
And the great world seems at rest.
Not all al rest-for, dreaming, I
Sit mid the shadows and the gloom,
And mise of loves long vanished by,
And hopes long buried in tho tomb.
Not of sweetheart or of kin,
Though those were loved full well,
But of the vain hopes shrined within
My young hearts secret cell
But days of health and days of youth,
Not long can shadowy dreams call back
And waking shows all forms Of, truth
Died long life'b beWildering track.
Sad, sad is memory's frequent glance
At scenes Of the days flown BY,
When dreamers wake from idle trance,
And think of the "Now" with u sigh!
But away all idle musings nor,
What is the buried Past to me?
wake from musing, and trow
There's happiness in days to be.
What is all evanished bliss
That men may lose who rest or roam,
To true affections tender kiss,
And other joys that hallow homer

SERIOUS RAILROAD AcCIDENT.-On Sun
day morning, at a quarter-past s o'clock,
when the down mail train was approaching
Burkeville Junction, on the Danville road,
the engineer discovered man lying asleep
Just to the side, but very near the track.
He made every effort to check the train,
and blew the whistle repeatedly to awake
the man, but in vain, for the man was
struck by the locomotive and his right foot
and leg crushed horribly. He was taken
up and carried to Burkeville, where all
surgical aid was rendered him. At last ac-
counts he was doing well. His name is
William Branch, and he was employed as
hand OH the gravel train.

RECEIPTS OF Wharf.-The receipts Of
wheat by the different railroads at this
market are now unusually large. In those
depots where the facility for storing is lin
tied, much inconvenience is felt by the tar
diness of consignees in removing it., Those
receiving wheat by either the Danville or
York River road will find an advertisement
in another column requesting them to re-
move their consignments from the depots
promptly This is asked that the compa-
nies may be enabled the more rapidly to
