A FANCY FLIGHT.
BY MRS. SARA woLvERroS.


Leaving one day from the borders o
Real,
On the wings of Fancy flew,
To enter the beautiful land Ideal,
And wander her portico's ihro'.
I entered her gates of jasper and gold
And Travelled her boundaries DER,
And many and great and glorious things
In cavelet and grotto saw.
Stood at the base of beautiful mound,
With moss-woven carpet of green;
And looking aloft, a statue beleld,
The grandest ever had seen.
OF finest, purest of marble twas cut
Each line delight to the eye;
No flee, and no flaw, tho scanning so
close,
Could | on its surface descry.
And bending anear we're fairy-like
forms,
Who homage seemed offering up;
Incense and jewels and flowers and gold,
And wine from crystalized cup.
Forgetting the Real-its lessons of love
] bent with the multitude there,
And gave from my bounty of eostllest
gifts,
Full measure, and over, share.
By and by came the wind in terrible
wrath,
The rain with its pointings of steel
And darkness so dense, and falling so
low,
Its sadness around you could feel.
waited i'm dread for the tempest TO pass,
10 gaze on my statue again;
Alas! for my beauty, my idol, my pride.
looked for its semblance in vain.
For only mass all broken and white,
And crumbling lay scattered around
The same as in Real--the idols we rear
In the wake of destruction are found.

The neighbOrs came in, drank some,

1t was big thing, and no mistake,

A FAcT.-A vast majority of eivi-
lized mankind and womankind think
themselves poets between fourteen
and nineteen years of age. From
nineteen to twenty-five they think
themselves philosophers. Attwenty-
five they begin To perceive how little
they know, and from this time until
the end they constantly make new
discoveries in the vast expanse Of
their ignorance, always finding out
that the more they know the more
they don't know.

EBIs.TIDE.

On summer eve, when The sun was low,
An old man sat in the golden glow,
The waves were washing the sandy stones,
And calm and sweet were their languid tones
lie looked, and listened, aud softly sighed,
As ho heard the voice Of the ebblng tide.
He had passed bis three-scoTe years and ten,
lie had smiled and wept like other men;
Brother and parent, friend and wife,
Had drifted over the sea Of life,
To the shore where the saints abide;
But he was left by the cbbIng-tIde.
Len all alone with the dreamy past,
A battered hull on the shingle cast.
No more to ride on the see:hing main,
Nor feel the shock Of the storm again;
He lay at peace by the ocean side,
To wait the coming Of Deaths great tide.
That solemn tide, with its voiceless roll,
Shall bear on Its waves the weary soul
To the blessed land, where the angel throng
win hail its coming with holy song,
And the home Of the faithful heart shall be
A place OF rest by the Crystal Sea!

The Value OF Sunnowers

In the first place, the flowers abound
in honey, and furnish food for BEES
Tho seeds contain oleaginous matter
and yield oil at the rate Of one gallon TO
the bushel, which is but little inferior
20 olive oil. One acre will produce fifty
bushels of seed. 1t Is also valuable
food for horses and poultry. 1t has
been used for bread by the American
Indians and also in Portugal. The
leaves are excellent for cattle. The
stalks while they are growing may be
utilized as bean poles where they are
scarce and difficult TO DO detained, and
dry may be used as roofing, or set up
against the fence to form a wind.b break.
They contain large amount of potash,
and are excellent for kinding. The
seed has also been recommended for
fuel. The reputation of the growing
sun.nowcr to absorb miasmatic vapors
and preventing fever and ague is well
known.

A Spiritualized Editor.

FROM the memphis Register.
Living in Memphis is lady of good
education, pleasant manners aud per-
son, in whom lately have been develop.
ed some most mysterious powers.
Residing with her husband and fami-
ly, there was nothing remarkable about
this lady, who was and is good wife
and mother, quietly discharging the du-
ties of her position, until few weeks
since, when the development of the
and have continued up to the present
time. The first indication of anything
unusual was one day when Mrs. NJ, as
we will call her, was sitting in her par
Tor, and chair commenced moving
across the floor toward her, and then
retiring then another chair followed
suit, advancing and retiring as did the
first. Soon oil the chairs and tables
were moving about the hoorlike beings
imbued with volition and life. The
lady was exceedingly frightened, so
much SO as to be unable to speak, and
nearly in fainting condition. The
phenomenon was repeated several times,
not only when the lady was alone, but
in the presence Of her husband, the
chairs and furniture actually dancing
occurred. The lady was lifted out Of
bed and placed in chair without any
volition upon her part, though without
violence. Seriously alarmed, a physi-
clan was consulted, but he would give
no advice in the matter, as it was some
thing beyond his ken. A few friends
of the lady became aware of the. singu-
lar power, and rs the novelty and scare
wore of, were permitted 10 witness the
manifestations. Hearing Of this singu-
lar circumstance, one of the editorial
staff of the Register, who knew the
lady's husband asked permission to visit
her and witness this furniture dance !;
his request was granted upon condition
thatin speaking or writing upon the SUBJ
ject he should suppress the names Of
the parties. In company with friend,
he visited the house, and in tho language
Of the Queen of Shcba, he can say -
"The half has not been told"
The lady seated herself in the parlor,
and whilo an ordinary conversation was
in progress, one Of the chairs moved
slowly across the floor towards Mrs. NJ.
Others followed, and soon all the unoc-
eupied chairs In the room were moving
through the figures of stately dance.
The chair in which the writer sat SEEM
cd to be possessed Of life and ondcavor-
ed to move from its place, but we kept
our position in the trembling, shaking
chair. A small chain that had been ac-
cidentally left on the floor, commenced
crawling toward the lady, wriggling
like snake in its movements. Mr.. NJ.
placed his foot on the chain, and stood
upon II with his whole weight, nearly
two hundred pounds avoirdupois, but
il crawled out and continued its course
toward Mrs. M. Terribly frightened at
this new demonstration, she screamed,
and everything became quiet. The
chairs resumed their normal condition,
tho chain became once more but little
links Of iron, and only the astoni'hed
spectators remained alive.
We have told an "ovcr true tale"
having in naught ox,cnuatcd or aught
set down IN malice. We cannot ac-
count for what wo have seen, but only
toll IL as we saw IL,
