Weary Of Life.
Weary of life and weary of sin,
The oeaselese strife and worldly din,
Struggling ever to act part,
Yelling my soul and shrouding my
heart,
Hating the world and longing to be
Alone-at rest-untrammelled and
Struggling ever in endless strife
Father in Heaven, I'm weary Of lifel
Weary Of life that once was 80 fair,
That precious gem, that jewel rare;
Life with it's changing, sunny hours,
It's golden.smiles and wealth of flowers;
Life of my infant. childish years,
With its ripping smiles and sparkling
tears,
Years that knew naught of my anger
or strife
Father In Heaven, I'm weary of lifel
Weary of life that once was 30 bright,
With it's rainbow hues of dazzling
light
The lig ht of my girlhood's early days,
With the gorgeous glare Of it's noon
day blaze;
Alb! deeming my life but one endless
day, 'H' ti
Nor counting the hours that passed
away.
Hours with joy and pleasures once
rife
Yet Father in Heaven, I'm weary Of
lifei
Weary of life. its sin and it's crime.
It's poisoned breath and noisome
slime;
Oh sinl oh crimei how bitter to taste
The tempting fruit of thy desert wasto!
That fruit 30 fair and bright to the eve,
On the lips will fade and in ashes die,
Filling the heart with woe and strife,
Till, Father in Heaven, I'm weary OF
lifei
Weary of life that has grown so dark
Pining away in this prisoned ark,
Weary, dear Lord, as the captive dove
Longing to soar to the realms above,
Seeking some spot where my foot may
rest
From the deluge of sin in the human
breast,
Battling ever in care and strife
Father in Heaven, I'm weary of life!
Weary of life, shall one SO lost,
So tempest driven, 80 wildly tossed,
Dare to weep as Magdalen wept,
When in lonely sorrow sinner she
crept.
And kneit at Thy feet in tears and
And sought but glance of Thy sacred
eyes,
The glance that dispelled all woe aud
strife,
When her heart was weary and sick
of life2
Weary of life, but ah, in Thy love,
l look for truer life above.
The life that fades not, nor passes
away;
The dawning sun of eternal day;
The morning .that breaks DER the
tempest's wave.
And shines through the gloom OF the
yawning grave,
Cheering us on, through woe and
strife,
With the lasting joys of brighter life
Weary of life and weary of sin,
This worldly strife and worldly din,
Looking in hope for the promised
land,
Watching the veil in its golden strand,
Watching that veil 80 mystic and
bright.
Shroudlng its shores from my yenrning
sight,
Watching the hand that shall draw it
away,
Giving me life aud endless day.

Sad Death OF n Young Woman,

Mr.. John Richardson, the obliging,
industrious old man who carries the
mail between Monroe and Columbia,
crosses the river at Columbia in a flat
of his own. The old man had two
daughters who assisted him in man
aging the fiat, who had become expert
in the use Of the oars. He was absent
one or two trips, and employed
young fellow named Heath to carry
the mail for him. Miss Susan Rich
ardson and her sister were ferryinc
Heath over, on the 10th of last month.
Tho fiat was partly ferried across, when
Susan's oar-lock broke, and she fell
overheard. Her sister at once caught
hold on her dress, but the fabric gave
way. Heath, we are told, offered no

Touching Bottom.

The new year has been remarkable
Tor one thing: the planters are not cut
ting each others Threats in trying to
get hands. AS a rule, the hands, this
year, have sought the owners of land.
High wages and high taxes have,
strangely enough to the labcrer, brought
the demand for labor to almost stand
still. The effort to run large planta-
tions and employ a large number OF
hands, concurrently with excessive
rates OF taxation and large bounties to
tho laborer, has resulted in cripling the
pecuniary resources of the country. 1t
is plain that, as people, we are grow
ing poorer every year. This is not the
fault of the soil; that, at least, is gen
erous and bountcous. 1t is the fault Of
wrong notions of business and Of the
1neanest government any enterprising
people ever had-a government that
takes all that it dares take, and gives
worse than nothing in return.

recovered

A large grocery house in New Orleans
wants to advertise with us, provided
we will take part pay in Bitters mixed
by the house. We are constitutionally
opposed to all stimulants but the best
Bitters we ever knew was Garlic bit
tiers; you took one drink, and never
wanted another. Vinegar bitters, be-
ing composed entirely Of sour vinegar,
is different. DR.. Walker uses exclu-
sively sour vinegar, and makes a splen-
did bitter. When we owned distil-
lery we were 10th to make bitters,
because it.sroils the whisky. No one
ever saw any first class, very old whisky
that could bear the change. Whisky,
as rule, deteriorates by being made
into bitters, and, what is worse, it must
be taken by doses; otherwise, the drugs
are not negotiable in the stomach
There is drink called ssStraight''
which outranks Bitters in the regard of
all old hard drinkers we have ever
seen, and we have seen several very,
very old ones. They all drank
"Straight." Our kind friend in New
Orleans must excuse us for another
reason this is q printing office. And
for another reason, also his bitters are
not recommended by any practicing
physician to introduce the TELEGRAPH
to the American people.

F1RE.-Mr. S. Kuhn, on lower Grand
street, had his store to catch on fire
about o'clock Thursday night. The
fire burst through the roof about mid
way the house, "a frame buildiug,) and
before the alarm could bring any avail
able help on the ground, the whole
house was in flames. No one was in
the store, for at least an hour before the
fire broke out, and all the lights had
been extinguisled. An adjacent build
ing above took fire, and was also con-
sumed, the fremen, unfortunately,
having their hose bursted ut the mo-
ment when they We're all ready to
commence work, and when the second
building might have been saved. Mr..
Kuhn was insured for $4,000, we learn );
but this docs not cover his loss. The
two houses belonged to J. r.. Muir, who
was also insured. The residence of Mrs.
Dinkgrave, the InteIligencer Office and
the Courthouse, each, caught on the
roof from flying Goals, but were saved
by the exertions of individuals on the
ground.

young daughter sank under the fiat,
and was seen no more. James Taylor,
we are further told, stood on the bank
near n boat, and was implored by Mrs.
Richardson to save her daughter. Tay-
drowning girl might drown him. The
body Of Miss Richardson has not been
recovered.

The steam fire engine, (Which its
name is ssThe Pride of Monroe,") ar
rived, with hose truck and hose, on the
cars, last Sunday. So soon as the
proper test is made, and satisfaction
given, the engine will be received, and
turned over to the boys of Ouachita

we suppose, go into the keeping Of a
colored company about to be organized.
