DARKNESS.

The san a3s sank adown the western sky,
The woods are still,
The little rill
Laughs not so lound, as it goes hast'ning by,
For night ia here,
Aud silent fear
Turks in zach gloomy recess, far and nigh.
Through cottage window far, see the glow,
That tells the hearth
The scene Of mirth
That, there the ready jest and laugh do flow,
And migth and song
Do chase along
The hours, that there can never tagging know.
The clock ticks on, and soon the light goes out,
la peace rCclinci,
Sweet rest TO find,
The rich do close their lids without doubt ::
But northern blast,
Both keen aal fast,
Yon lonely beEgar's tattcrcd rags do fout.
But soon, all soon, the wretch forgets his woes,
EeRumbei with c"id,
Ills arms euf0li
CpDa his shrukea breast for long reposc,
Without groan,
lie lieth down
No more 10 wake though widest tempest
blows.
And on the Iis;an; sea the night doth brood.

Sheffey, Of Emory, Va, is in deli
cute health and that there is but
little prospect of his speedy inn

viii regret to hear this. No man
has more friends where he is known

beneficial to children, and yet so searching
as to effectually purge out the great cor
ruptions of the blood, such as the scrofulous
and syphilitic contamination. Impurities,
or diseases that have lurked in the system

Not an Uncommon Complaint.

A z;rmer in Oidtown hired cOlored man
some weeks ago to work for him on tbe
farm. The hired man was industrious and
faithful, and both parties were perfectly
satisfied with the contract until a few davis
since, when the dar1cy was offered SIS =
week to take care Of horses at hotel a few
miles from here, the offer being an advance
OF - week on the wages he was regeiy-
ing. How to go without breaking his
agreement with his employer now became
the question. The woolly was equal
to the emergency. He pretended to have
a terrible pam in the stomach, which re-
sisted all remedies. At last the farmer
asked the man what he himself thought
was the matter. He did not know. but aus
pected it was scarlet fever as he said he
had helped lay out a corpse which had died
OF that disease few nights before. The
farmer was frightened wife" said he.

Florida.

There are classes of persons on whom the eli
mate of Florida acts like a charm. There ara
certain nervOusly organized dyspeDtics who
require great deal of open, outdoor life.
They are in comfortable health during those
months when they can spend half their time
IN the open air. They have no particular
disease, but they have no great reserved
strength, and can not battle with severe
weather They can not go out in snow or
wind, or on chilly, stormy days, without
IIsklng more harm than they get GOOD.
Such IN our Northern climate are kept close
prisoners fer six months From December
to May they are shut in, to furnace-heated
houses, or alright stoves. The winter ia
one long struggle to keep themselves up.
For what of the outdoor exercise which
sustains them in summer, appetite and sleep
beth fail them. They have restless nights.
ana bad digestion; and look anxiousiy to
the end Of winter as the only relief. For
such how slowly it drags They watch the
almanac-the sun crosses the Iine-the
days grow minute longer; spring will
come by and by. But by what cruel IRONY
was the month Of March ever called spring?

The law in England requires that mar
Ilages shall take place before twelve clock.
Antlquarians assure us that the law was
meant to prevent marriages that might be
made up in the evening, in the days when
no Engllshman was supposed to know what
he was about. The Englishman of the last
century was supposed, alter his eight o'clock
dinner, to be under the table with drained
bottle IN his hand. 1t was on that account
that the custom arose of the ladies retiring
from the dining room soon after dessert was
brought on. But this pOstprandially pros
trate fellow might arise, stagger TO the
dfawlng-room, propose marriage to the first
pretty dame he met, and command the sr--
vices OF the eveg-present clergyman to tie
the knot forthwith. 1t was Therefore en-
acted that he should have an opportupitv
OF sleeping of the fumes OF wine, of pass
ing the evening promises under the morning

be entered into, as the prayerbook savs.

Patrick, s troubled brain there is no cbron-

this mysterious and unhOly stranger with
whom he had made acquaintance, was be-

watching him the while with diabOlica1 vim
dlctlveness, as if the withdrawal from
their dlaI-wOrking partnership was thing
to be avenged in cold blood. He felt in his
pocket for his dial; it was still there. Then
he sought to draw it, and while he was still
