And thou art dead ALIAS, that death should
SO sweet a victim to the tomb
That one so fair, so beautiful and pure
Should pass away in life's first blush and
bloomi
Thou art 70, dead for though the turf be-
In dreamsles sIunher thou art lying now,
Thy spirit lives beyond the reach OF eiea'''
With youth imnNQrtA CLOWN"
hroW on thy
ivy 's''p ,.rt gone-gone from Hfe's hopes
and fears
Gone from a world of WEAKNESS and pain
And never more, through all the coming
Shall we behold thy sad, sweet face again.
Thou vast the darling of full many q heart
A mothers idol and a fathers pride
How deep their greif when called with thee
to part
And see thee snatched forever from their
side!
Come back to them !-come back at even
ing's close
At morn, at noon, across the eternal sea,
And by thy presence SOothe into repOse
The loving hearts which bleed and break
for thee
They weep for thee not as the hopeless
For know they we'll that when deaths icy
hand
Shall lead them down to where their loved
ones sleep,
They shall meet thee in the better land.
Farewell, sweet saint Though dim their
eyes with tears,
And though their hearts are desolate and
lone,
They would not call thee from those bright

To which thy spirit hath so early flown.
For better far to seek that holy CLINE,
And with the angels there forever dwell,
Than finger here upon the shores of time
And suffer all LIES cares and ills, Fare

Farewell when for thy loved ones life is

And DER deaths gloomy sea their barques

Thou then shalt meet them on the other

And guide their footsteps through the

In memory of
Captain JAMES KNOX,

Captain JAMES KNOX,
..s who ...
In, hope of glorious resurrection to eteT-
nal life, deceased Oct. 10th, in the year of the
Christian era 1874, aged AZ years.
To continue his memory in the minds OF
his surviving friends and 20 perpetuate a
character in which were united the tender
husband, the affectionate parent and good
and by whom were cultivated jug
tice, Generosity, Pr0bity and SinceritU, this
Monument is erected by the faithful and
grateful partner of his life and affections.
Vital spark of Heavenly flame,
Quit, o quit this mortal frame,
Trembling, hoping, lingering, flying,
Othe pain, the bliss of dying!
Cease, ssfOnd nature, cease thy strife,
And let me languish into life.
Harl1 they whispers angels say,
t'SiSteT spirit, come away
What is this abSorbS me quite,
Steals my senses, shuts my sight;
browns my spirit, draws my breath?
Tell me, my soul, can this be death?
The world recedes, it disappears;
Heaven opens on my eyeS-my ears
With sounds seraphic ring:
Lend, lend your wings, mount, fly
QGrave, where is thy victory?
o death, where is thy sting?
Cease then, frail nature, to torment in vain
Reason fOrbidS to wish him back again."

The proprietor of this celebrated mediciu
justly claims for il n superiority over all rom
cdies ever offered TO the public for the safe
certain, speedy and permanent cure of Agur
and Fever, ar Chils aud Fever, whether OF
short or long standing. He refers 10 the en-
tire Western and Southern country 10 bear him
testimony 10 the truth Of the assertion, that iu
no case Whatever will IL fail 20 cure II the al
rections are strictly followed and carried at
In a great many cases a single dose has lucn
sufficient for a cure, and whole families have
been cured by a single bottle, with perfect
restoration Of the general health. lt Is, how
ever, prudent, and in every case more certain
TO cure, If its use is continued in smaller doses
for a week or two after the disease has been
checked, more especially in difficult and long
standing cases. Usually this medicine will
not require any aid 10 keep the bowels in good
order. Should the patient, however require a
cathartio medicine, after having taken three or
four doses Of the tonic, single dose of Bulls
Vegetable Family Pills will be sufficient.

MI. PIE ASANT ITEMS.


A very distingue, dark haired, keen
eyed, well dressed young man with an
exquisite figure and courtly address,
with remarkably small feet and hands,
which Byron says is an evidence of good
blood, land blood will tell stepped in
one of our dry goods establishments the
other day, and called for some visiting
cards, as he wished to call on a young
man in the country. AS such things as
visiting or any other cards, except cot
tonIcards, are unheard ofin the backwoods
country, the unsophisticated dealer in
calico, eipgsing and goober peas, who
sails under a"9'O,t dc plume" handed him
down roll of "fooIs-cap," large enough
to write an editorial in the Cincinnati
Enquirer, or print the HERALD on.
Whether it was intended as an allegory
or satire, we know not, but one thing
we do know, and that is the young man
left this village with a big disgust,
thinking it would do to be inhabited by
a Hottentot, Capt. Jack, or any other
MOdOc.

Mr.. Joseph G. Cloud, the celebrated
oarsmsn, of whom the eastern people
have had SO much to say of late, arrived at
Cairo at abou. two o'clock yesterday al
ternoon.
Cloud left Philadelphia on the 10th OF
July last on wager of $1,000 that he
could travel from Philadelphia TO New
Orleans in l45 days, during which time he
is not to eat meal or sleep "a night in a
hotel or house of any description. lie
may sleep under shed where all fol r
sidcs are open and he is not prohibited
from eating such food us may be able To
cook on tho bank of the river, or carry
with HIM. lie has now been out from
Philadelphia 55 days, and has travelled on
An average of 80 miles per day, or 2,6i7
miles from Philadelphia to Cairo.
BY the route traversed by Cloud from
Philadelphia to New Orleans will DO
1927 miles. From this point to New Or
loans no has 1850 miles to travel, snd
ninety days to do it in.
1t should be understood that this is not
trial of speed, but, on tho
contrary, question of endurance.
Cloud is confident that he
could make the run from Cairo to New Or =
loans with ease in twenty-five days, but
doos not desire to reach tho end Of his
Journey until near tho last day. If he
were to reach New Orleans fifty days ahead
