THE LONG AGO.

The following poem by B. F. Taylor, of Chi.
cago, is one of the most exquisite productions
in our language 1t was originally published
anonymously, and has been claimed by numer-
Gus authors as their own; -t-
Oh a ownderful stream is the river Time,
AS it glideS through the realm of years,
With faultless rhythm and musical rhyme,
And a broader sweep and surge sublime,
And blends with the ocean of years. a..
How the winters are drifting like fakes of snow,
And the summer like buds between,
And the year in the sheaf-so they come and
they go, ~ -,
On the rivers breast, with its ebb and flow,
AS it glides through the shadow and sheen.
There's magical isle up the river of time,
Where the softest Of airs are playing;
There's cloudless sky and tropical cline,
And song as sweet as vesper chime.
And the Juno where the roses are staying
And the name of this isle is the Long Ago
And we bury our treasures there; ..F.s
There are brows of beauty and bosoms of SHOW
There are heaps of dust, but we loved them so !.
There are trinkets and tresses aGhair. -.j
There are fragments of songs that nobody sings,
And part of an infants prayer; ~.
There's a Lutte unswept and harp without
strings; 81.
There are broken vows, and pieces of rings
And the garments that she used to wear.
... rI g. 49,. rLs q .r- aU
There are hands that are waved whom the fairy
shore fE5 .-.
By the mirage is lifted in air,
And we sometimes hear, through the turbulent
roar, .. ,......-.-r- -..-.l g.. o.. .... -.r4.
Sweet voices were heard in the days gone be-
fore, .-.. p. .. 4.
When the wing down the river is fair.
Oh! remembered for ago be the blessed Isle,
When the evening comes With tho beautiful
smile,
And our eyes are closing to slunber awhile,
May that Greenwood" of soul be in sight

We take pleasure in announcing to the
business men of Knoxville that the circu-
lation of the Sweetwater Enterprise is SO
rapidly increasing among country mer:
chants, and the people generally that an
extra large edition had to be issued this
week to supply the demand. This makes
the Enterprise one of the best advertising
country papers in the State. The pub
Usher, c. B. Woodward, will be in the city
to-day and tomorrow, and will visit our
merchants in the interest of his paper
The Enterprise is live local paper, and
every advertiser gets one copy free for the
length of time his advertisement runs.
We would advise our merchants to
patronize the Observation-Disclosures.

THE LATE STORM.


In the country the storm ragged with
greater violence than in town, where on
Nv a few small buildings were blown down
and the roof of Clark, Quaife & Co s found
Nv was blown off.
The tin roof on the Methodist Church
was loosened somewhat and slight damage
done but nothing of serious consequence.
In the second civil district Matthew
Hill, Esq, had the roof of his corn crib
blown of and wagon and buggy broken
that was in an adjoining shed.
On the farm of Andrew McCampbell,
Esq, also of the same district, large num-
Der of apple trees were blown down, to-.
gether with fifty or sixty rods of fencing
He has lived at his present place of resi-
dence for more than half a century and
says it is the severest storm he ever expe-
rienced.
On the line of the Knoxville and Ohio
Railroad considerable damage was done.
About one hundred and fifty feet of the
covering of the bridge at Clinton was
blown off, while on the farm of John
Woods, near Powell's Station, more than
twenty trees were torn up in his apple
orchard and his barn unroofed by the fury
of the gale.
One corner of the roof of the house of E.
S. Bounds was sprung by the force of the
wind, alarming him to such an extent for
the safety of his dOmicile that he left and
passed the night at the house of a neigh
Dor, Mr.. McCammon.
In many parts of the county, the hail
stones were as large as hen eggs and in
places. the ground was covered to the depth
of two or three inches. Persons travelling
were knocked from their horses and lambs
and poultry killed in the fields and yards.
Mr.. w. c. Wallace returned yesterday
from Granger county, and states that the
storm was the heaviest ever known there.
Nearly every fence has been thrown down,
and large numbers of the finest trees were
torn up by the roots. Fodder stacks were
torn down and the fodder scattered in every
direction.
The recent storm has been one of un-
usual severity, but while it is so in this
vicinity, the weather has been still more
severe further north. In Chicago we see
by our dispatches that the street cars have
stopped running, and it was with diff
ficulty that the regular trains could pro-
coed, while the storm ranged with equal
violence in Missouri.

The East Tennessee Carpet House.

We would call attention to the adver-
tisement of Mr.. S. B. Boyd, who has just
received one of the largest stock of goods
in his line ever before displayed in the
Knoxville market. Every variety and
style of carpets and rugs can be found
there at wholesale or retail, and at great
ly reduced price. In fact, his stock of car
pets cannot be excelled in East Tennessee,
and fairly entities his place of business to
the name of the East Tennessee Carpet
House."
His stock of ladies' white goods is per-
haps the finest ever offered for sale in
Knoxville, and shows good taste on the
part of Mr.. Boyd in making his selections.
He has now one of the largest and finest
assortments of French worked sets of col
lars and cuffs as well as French embroider-
les of every description. His line of ladies'
underwear, bridal underwear, with French
embroidery, &C., must be seen to be appre-
ciated, and ladies are especially invited to
call and examine these goods. In fact
everything in the ladies' white goods line
can be found at this establishment to suit
the taste of almost any and every lady in
the city, and those who have not paid Mr..
Boyd's establishment visit since the ar
rival of his new goods, would certainly be
repaid by SO doing.

Grain and Produce.


Grain and Produce.
GRAIN.-The grain trade during the past
week has been very light. There has been but
little offered, but sufficient for the demand,
which has been very slight. Wheat has fallen
10 cents on the bushel, from the highest figures
it carried few weeks since, and we continue
to quote it at 81 S0a1 90; yet, withal, it is
slightly frmer than when last reported. There
has been general decline in wheat in all the
principal markets, and many OF the leading
wheat merchants have entirely withdrawn from
the market. Those merchants have not re-
turned to the mar ket with any degree of activ>
ity, yet occasional car load orders are received
by our merchants, ffE
FLoUR.-The market remains considerably
easier, there being sufficient supply for pres
ent local demands. Flour, however, continues
in good demand.
OATs.-The trade in oats is very dull, the
amount in market being fully equal to the de-
mand.
CoRN.-The trade in corn is very dull at pres
ent and the demand is light.
Eaes.-The trade in eggs continues good land
they have again advanced slightly. We quote
them in demand at 10 cents
BAcoN...The bacon trade is considerably
Armer. Some heavy shipments having been
made lately. Prices are tending upward.

seed show downward tendency, but with pres
eut shipping facilities the market here is likely
to remain at present figures. -.

This evening this distinguished female
lecturer will undoubtedly delight Knox
vile audience at the Opera House with her
world lecture on the passions"
of which the Indianapolis Journal, of a
recent date, remarks:
IA crowded house greeted Olive Logan
at the Academy of Music last night, and
it is seldom indeed that an Indianapolis
audience is furnished with such a treat as
the fair lecturer gave those who were for
tunate enough to get seats or standing
room in the large hall. While disclaiming
any intention Of invading the field Of the
hair-splitting metaphysicians, who have
Miss Logan gave her audience compre-
hensive and exceedingly entertaining
analysis of the passions of Envy. Jealousy,
Revenge, ,Avarice, Pride, Love, Pity and
Joy. 9s-o 5i' 9o sl1
"Sheclassed the passions as good and bad,
and while applying the rod with some
vigor to the weak places of poor humanity,
she did 1t with so just and kindly hand,
that those who felt it most keenly must
have thanked her for the infliction. The
influence ofsuch q sermon as she delivered
last night must be good. Every rejecting
man and woman left the audience room
last night with stronger resolves to fight
the evil and cherish the good pas
sions that inhabit our poor, frail hui
manity.
ave shall not soon forget her eulogy up
on the mothers love. There were few dry
eyes in the hall when she told the story
of the poor mother who, upon the wharf
at Annapolis, waited and watched for her
darling boy until she became insane, and
until one morning, while looking down
the bay, her mothers spirit went to her
boy in heaven"
We learn from the Agent of the Opera
House, that everything will be done to
make the audience comfortable, and should
the weather continue disagreeable, he will
see that fire is made in the house at an
hour early enough to thoroughly warm up
the entire hall. The price of admission
has been so changed as to bring it within
reach of all to enjoy this rich treat, and
will be for Parquette IS cents, Gallery so
cents and reserved seats, which are to be
had at the East Tennessee Book House, 81.

when he bought book for himself he
also. bought one for his minister. Now
that the newspaper takes 80 largely the
place of the book, it may be equally
thoughtful and generous in one to give his
