SAD.-1n our last issue we chronicled the
death of Mrs. VIM. F. Snapp, daughter Of Mr..
Addison H. Price. Hardly had her remains
been committed to their mother earth, ere the
afflicted parents were called to the bedside of
their only son, Mr.. A. A. Price, a student at
Roanoke College, Salem, Va, who fingered but
a few hours after their arrival He was alb out
&c years of age, and with most promising fu-
ture, when the summons of the fell destroyer
came. On account Of merit, he had been select
ed as one of the Debaters of the Ciceronian So
ciety at its celebration on the 22nd, in which he
bid fair to win the encomums of an approaching
public, but, alas ere that day arrived the ''sil.
yer cord was loosened and the golden bowl was
broken" and his spirit had taken its flight for
ever beyond this worlds cares, and strlfes and
feeble praises. His remains arrived here on Mon
day last and were taken to the family burying
ground for interment. To his college mates,
his afflicted parents sorrowing relatives and
many friends, we tender our warmest condo
lence for the loss of talented companion, fond
and devoted son, and one calculated to have
filled the highest niche in a relatives love or
friends esteem.

THE GEM.-Ths is the nauIe Of an Improved
Churn and Butter Worker, on exhibition at the
Virginia Hotel, by Messrs. Gallup Smith. We
saw its operations on last evening, when it
accomplished the feat Of turning out lbs. Of
butter from gallon of cream, in three minutes,
and so thoroughly worked, that there was not
particle of milk left in the butter and no need Of
working or even touching it with the hand
What is claim I'd for this Churn is that it turns
out more butter and better worked than any
other machine, and perfectly free from milk
This machine will be on exhibition here for some
days. and all our readers will have an opportu-
nifty of witnessing its operations.

POETRY.
An Agricultural Ode.

This day, two hundred years ago,
The wild grapes by the river side, =.
Tho tasteiess ground nut trilling low,
The table ofsthe woods supplied. aa
Unknown the apples red and gold, s
The blushiug tint Of the peach and pear,
Tho mirror Of the pow WOW told
No tale Of orchards ripe and rare.
Wild MS the hu its he scorned to till,
These Wales the idle Indian trod;
Nor know the glad creative skill,
The joy Of him who tolls with God.
o, Painter of the fruit and flowers,
We thank thee for thy wise design,
Whereby these human hands Of ours
In pature's garden, work with Thine.
Aud thanks that from our daily need,
The joy Of a simple faith is born.
That he who mites tho summer weed,
May trust Thee for tho autumn corn.
Give fools their gold and knaves their power
Let fortunes bubbles raise and fall, '
Who sows q fold or trains flower, f.A
Or plants tree Is more than all. .. a
For he who blesscs most is blcst,
And God and man shall have his worth,
Who tolls to leave as q bequest
An added beauty to the earth.
And soon or late to all who SOW, ... co
The time Of harvest shall be given.
The flowers shall bloom, the fruit shall grow
Ii not on earth, at last in Heaven. .. IN
