HAVE FAITH AND STRUGGLE ON.

A swallow in the Spring,
Came to our granary, and meath the caves
Essayed to make a nest, and there did bring
Wet earth and straw and leaves
Day after day she toiled
With patient art, but ere her work was crowned,
Some sad mishap the tiny fabric spoiled,
And dashed it to the ground.
She found the ruin wrought,
But, not cast down, forth from the place she few,
Aud with her mate fresh earth and grasses brought
And built her nest anew.
But scarcely had she placed
The last soft feather on its ample floor,
When wicked hs nd OF chance again laid waste,
And wrought the ruin Ger.
But still her heart she kept,
And tOiled again and last night, hearing calls,
looked and 10 three little swallows slept
Within the earth-mads walls.
What Truth is here, 0 Mani
Hath Hope been smitten in its early dawnI
Hath cloud c'ercast thy purpose, trust, or plani
Have FAITH, and struggle onl

DoDsoN TP., April 5, 1870.
Mr.. EDITOR Your solicitations
for local news having attracted my at
tention, I thought it might not be
amiss to give you a few items.
Spring is at last emerging from a
long aud rather dreary winter. All
animate Nature seems to have shaken
off the icy fetters and come forth to
welcome her in the most exuberant
manner. The feathered tribes already
make our sylvan abodes cIamorous
with their carols.
The farmers in general, seem to ap-
preciate the fine weather by the activi-
ty they display in preparing for SOW
ing and planting, which will soon be-
gin in earnest.
Our Schools have all closed, and as
a general thing, agreeably and pleas
antly, rejecting credit on their teach
ers. AS for District No. 5, had the
pleasure of being present at an Enter
tainment given at the close of the
School, which has been under the su-
peryision of Miss D. NJ. Robb for the
last two years. Notwithstanding the
inclemency of the weather and the
almost impassable condition of the
roads, the house was well filed
Roderick Dhu and Fitz James, the
Miller of Mansfield, the Dandy, the
Coquette, and other pieces, were per-
formed and all well appreciated, and
others perhaps equally as good, but
too numerous to mention but one re-
cital by the Teacher, Miss Robb, I
must not omit. 1t was a brief de-
scriDtiOn Of the Battle of Hohenlin-
den, together with the weIl-known
poem by Campbell, which was well
delivered and with fine effect. All in
all, the Entertainment was decidedly
beyond anything of the kind I have
met with in the country. ADONIs.

A country fellow went courting his girl,
and wishing to be conversational, observed:
sqThe themonkron is twenty degrees below
zelen this evening"
|, "Yes," replied the maiden, "such kinds OF
birds do fly higher some seasons OF the year
than Others"
= One of the popular beliefs every summer
is, that no preceding summer ever furnished so
many flies. People aver, in our hearing every
day, that these pests were never before so nu-
merous and troublesome. They are plentiful,
active and annoying enough, but we have
known them to be quite as much of nuisance
in preceding seasons. They bring comfort to
the credulous who will rest assured that so long
as there is no scarcity of flies, there will be no
epidemic like the cholera.
One of the curious effects of the intense
heat which humanity has endured for the past
two weeks has been to give to gentleman re-
siding in South Baltimore the singular fac
ulty of smelling the SUN. The gentleman
alluded to was sunstruck few days ago, and
since his recovery he positively asserts that he
can smell the sun when it shines upon him.
He describes the smell as being very offensive,
and the only way he can find relief is to hurry
into the shade, once there, his smelling facul-
ties cease to nauseate him, but the moment old
Sol smiles upon him he become intensely sick.
So says the physician in charge of the case

The latest fashionable kink for ladies is to

We have partaken of scrambled eggs, and do
partake thereof with much frequency, and hen
fruit, so prepared, invariably tickles our stom-
ach into a broad grin of satisfaction. But re-
garding scrambled hair, we are free to say that
we shall not curve to it lovingly. So far as our
experiment goes we believe hair to be a valua-
BILE ingredient for plaster, but for steady diet
we should prefer roasted babies done brown, or
missionary spare-rib. We have no valid objec-
lion to slipping nectar from the lips of beauty,
but when it comes to eating her back hair
scrambled, please excuse us. Well dine out

DEATH OF ADMIRAL FARRAGUT.-Admiral
David Glascoe Farragut died at Portsmouth,
New Hampshire, at precisely II o'clock Sun
day. The most famous name in the modern
annals of the American Navy has passed into
history. He was born at CampbelPs Station,
Knox county, Tennessee, in 1901. When a
boy of nine years, his father procured him an
appointment as midshipman, and his first
cruise was in the frigate Essex, commanded by
Commodore Porter. Midshipman Farragut,
when twelve years of age, was wounded, the
only wound he ever received during his sixty
wears of service. He served during the war of
1872, and was frequently mentioned honorably
in the official reports of Commodore Porter.
In 1928 he was engaged under Commodore
Porter, in destroying the pirates of the West
Indies. From that time until the breaking out
of the rebellion, period of nearly forty years,
he was sailing about the world or quietly serv-
ing at different naval stations, and, at long in
tervals, rising by seniority, from grade to grade.
Admiral Farragut served with gallantry du-
ring the late civil war. In the summer of
1867 he was ordered to the command of the
European squadron. During his cruise of over
one year he was everywhere received with re-
spect and courtesy. The crowned heads and
nobility of Europe seemed to vie with hum
blest subjects in doing honor to this noble spec
linen of the American naval officer
In the death of Farragut and recently of
Dahlgreen, the American Navy has, lost two of
its brightest ornaments, and the nation two as
brave sailors as ever carried its flag upon the
ocean.-Louisuille C6urier-Jounal.
