TO A BELOVED ONE.

Heaven hath its crown of stars, the earth
Her glory robe of flowers
The sea its gems-the grand old woods
Their songs and greening showers
The birds have homes, where leaves and
blooms
In beauty wreath above;
High yearning hearts, their rainbOwdrean,
And we, sweet! we have love.
We walk not with the iewcl'd great,
Where loves dear name is sold;
Yet had we wealth we would not give
For all their world of gold
We revel not in corn and wine,
Yet have we from above
Mama divine, and We'll not pine:
Do we not live and love?
There's sorrow for the toiling poor,
On Misery's bosom nursed:
Rich robes for ranged souls, and crowns
For branded brows, Cain-cursed!
| But cherubim, with claspiug wings,
Ever about us be,
And happiest of Gods happy things!
There's love for you and me.
Thy lips, that kiss till death, have turned
Lifes water into wine;
The sweet life melting thro' thy looks
Hath made my life divine.
All loves dear promise hath been kept,
| Since thou to me vert given;
| A ladder for my life to climb,
And summer up in heaven.
/ knew, dear heart that in our lot
May mingle tears and sorrow;
But loves rich rainbows built from tears
To-day, with smiles tomorrow.

Smiling the waves above;

Thou'rt all the world to me.

THE SABBATH.-Onem morning gen
tleman was going to church. He was
a happy, cheerful Christian, who had
great respect for the Sabbath. He
was q singular man, and would some
times do and say what the children
are apt to call "funny things" AS he
was going he met stranger driving
heavily loaded wagon through the
town. When the gentleman got right
opposite to the wagon he stopped turn
ed round, and lifting up both hands as
if in horror, he exclaimed as he gazed
under the wagon.
"Tbere, there, you are going it! You
have gone over it.n
The driver was frightened. He drew
up his reins in an instant, cried,
''Whoa, whoam and brought his horse
to stand. Then he looked under the
wheels, expecting to see the mangled
remains of some innocent child or at
least, some poor dog or pig that had
been ground to jelly. But he saw
nothing. So, gazing all about, he
looked up to the gentleman who bad
80 strangely arrested his attention, and
anxiously asked.
'Pray, sir, what have done 2"

AN ADVENTURE AND IT'S SEQUEL
BY j. A.

While going down the Ohio river
short time ago, I fell in company one
afternoon with a young Virginian, who
was on his way to Galveston, Texas
He was tall, handsome, and graceful,
was apparently well educated, and
possessed no ordinary fund of general
information.
After few words by way of intro
duction, we entered into a spirited,
but to me agreeable, conversation i'll
regard to the past and present condi-
ton of the country. His speech was
fluent, and at times animated, but al
ways courteous and respectful, indica
ting at once his nativity, as also in a
measure his past political faith.
"By the way" he abruptly remark
ed, after probably an hours converse
ton, pointing to the Kentucky shore,
''that is the mouth of the Cumberland,
/ believe. The sight of that mountain
river brings wildly to my mind days
infested with care and nights devoid
of ease,' to say the least of it,"
IA war "Reminiscences, l supposeW
: "Both of war and peace-for peace,
you know, has its horrors no less re-
nowned than war;"
IA horror? Well, then, horror
anything to relieve the tedium of a
journey on a Western river"
He endeavored to excuse himself
from describing the scene which the
sight Of the Cumberland revived in his
memory, alleging as reason that the
improbable character of the episode
would excite ridicule rather than in-
terest. 1 assured him, however, of my
confidence in his veracity, and prom
ised him strict attention throughout,
when, with mingled humor and ear
nestness, he related the following Incl
dent of his early manhood:
Just Il little while before the late war
while travelling afoot over the dreary
mountains of southwestern Virgins
(my horse having given out the day
before), stopped one evening about
sunset to rest my weary limbs before
ascending the next height. No sooner
however, had / stretched myself upor
my messy bed than my eyes were clos
ed in balmy sleep.
! How long / slept do not know, bu
when l awoke it was highland pro
badly the blacklist night known to time
The sky was one solid storm-cloud
and the whole upper world roared lils,
the mighty waters.
l determined to seek shelter some
where, and Immediately started in TIKI
direction I had journeyed during tht
day. But the path had followed thel
was a guide no longer. An occasiona
flash of lightning would prevent my
plunging into o hidden gorge or ratine
but leaving the surroundings blackel
|
than before.
had wandered around for perhaps
an hour without discovering anything
capable of sheltering me from the i'm
pending deluge, and had almost des-
paired of finding refuge at all, when to
my inexpressible delight l saw on a
hill some distance ahead what I took
to be light from some mountaineer's
cabin. SO, inspired with the hope Of
obtaining a nourishing meal and 4
nights repose, | pushed blindly ahead
in the direction Of the light, without
| chart or compass, over rocks and
rayines aud runs and fallen trees.

of the city; and there were the ''rockets
red glare" and fireworks of every de-
scription-and shouts of exultant DEM
ocrats, and a good time generally.
Among the many pleasant incidents
ofthe day, as indicating the spirit of
Democrats toward the negroes, was a
handsome donation made to George
Williams, colored man, formerly be-
longing to Major George w. Williams,
who voted the Democratic ticket. He
is lame, but an excellent blacksmith.
When the fact became known that he
had voted Democratic, a collection was
Immediately taken up, which realized
about 5000 with which it is intended
to purchase him a small lot and erect
upon it a blacksmith shop.
No violence was attempted during
the day; there was no attempt at in
timidatiOn. The full vote Of the pre-
cinct was cast, although many appre-
hended that it could not be done. So
far rs VIC could learn, no negro enti-
tied to suffrage, was denied that privi-
lege. It is a matter Of congratalati0n
with all parties that everything passed
off SO pleasantly.

II A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman, formerly of England, thinks
that cheap labor alone cannot explain
the large profits of English farmers,
and says they can only be accounted
for by the great amount Of live stock
kept and fed, thus producing great

THE WEsER AND THE ELBE.-The
mouths of these important rivers, is
reported, have been closed by tho sink
ing of hu1ks. The point at which the
distinctions have been placed is not
stated, but must be high mp in the river,
and probably only calculated to defend
the city of Bremen. The Weser,
which drains large area, is $50 miles
long, and is navigable for boats near
~ to it's source, for vessels drawing ?
feet of water to Bremen, and for ves-
sells drawing Is feet to Vegesack. Ships
of large size, however, ascend no fur
Their than Brcmerhavcn, which is 81
miles north Of Bremen, and is situated
on the tributary of the Wescr.
This estuary, by which communion
ton with the North Sea is obtained,
is twenty miles long and twelve miles
broad. At Bremerhaven, established
as an outport in 1920 by Hanover,
there are an outer harbor, q sluiced
dock, and an inner harbor. The differ
ence between the lowest ebb and tho
highest flood tide is 26 feet, but the
average is about 10 feet. Another i'm
portant station on the Weser is Jahde,
formerly belonging to the Duchy of Oh
denburg, but which was purchased by
Prussia in 1854 for the sum of $3.50, 600
on the faith of old surveys made i'll
ISL, when it was selected as a naval
station by Napoleon I. In 1853 Prus-
STA commenced building and fortifying
a navy yard on an extensive scale,
which is now nearly completed.
The Elbe, on which, about 20 miles
from its mouth, the much frequented
port of Hamburg is situated, is also be-
ing INSTRUCTED. This river, 395 miles
long, is IA miles wide at its mouth, and
the estuary is encountered with sand
backs, but vessels drawing IA feet can
ascend to Hamburg. Under tho above
conditions, distractions must be placed
high up both tho above rivers but it
may be stated that by the removal of
the buoys, the extlnguishment of the
lights and the absence of pilots, the
navigation will be extremely difficult
The channels are constantly changing
by the violence of the currents, and
the danger of running aground is con-
slant.
